ALI ABOUT BLACK PEPPER.-Black pepper
is raised to some extent on the Island of Java
but Samatra, which lies just across the straits
is by far the most celebrated for this commo-
dity. Her pepper is, perhaps, the finest and
most abundant in the world Black pepper
grows on vine much like our grapevine
The pepper grows, and looks when grown,
very much like our currants. There is this
difference, however, the currant has each its
own stem, but the pepper has not, every grain
growing hard on one stem, just as each grain
of Indian corn does on the cob. The color of
the pepper, when first ripe is almost bright
red, and changes TO the dead black by being
exposed to the heat Of the sun. The white
pepper is nothing more than the common black
with the outer skin taken off Ii is first soaked
until this skin burst open, which is rubbed of,
and the grain dried. The white is not consid
cred so puugent as the black, though it is nicer
and more expensive as more labor is necessary
in order TO prepare it.

Where Men Are Out of Place.

GAIL HAMILTON, in the last Atlantic
Monthly, thus discourses:
The one place in the world where a
man has no business to be is the inside
of dry-goods shop. He never looks
and never is SO big and bungling as there.
A woman glides in and out among crowds
of her sex, steers sweepingly clear of all
obstacles, and energies triumphant. A
man enters and Immediately becomes all.
boots and elbows. He needs as much
room to turn around in as the English
iron-elad Warrior. and it takes him about
as long. He treads on all the Aounces,
runs against all the clerks, knocks down
all the children, and is generally under
foot. If he gets an idea into his head,

cess of your reasoning is visible to the
naked eye. He sees the sack, or visite,
Or cape put upon your shoulders, and you

The Origin of Beauty.

WIEN the eternal mandate was uttered,
that our first parents must leave fsir Eden.
sadly they turned to leave their bright abode.
Eve gazed upon the flowers, her earliest
and latest care, the tail trees with their golden
fruits, the sparkling fountain, the river wind
ing between bill and valley, the birds whose
plumage had delighted her eye, and whose
songs had lulled her to repose at night and
awakened her to fresh scenes Of toveliness at
morn.
Heavy was her heart, for she could see no
light She had brought sin, wretchednes and
sorrow into the world, and all that was lovely
in life was past, all that was bitter to be en-
dured was in the future, She turned to Ad.
am, and for the first time in al her misery, re-
membeIed that she was not alone, she had at
least one human friend.
Then there beamed upon her face pure
light, radiant smile, in which was mingled
all Of woman's faith, all her fortitude and de-
votion as she exclaimed, Thank God we
go forth together"
The angel at the gate beheld that lOok of
loveliness, that triumphant 5nila
and sighed be knew that such beauty was
too high boon to bestow upon human be-
ing.
Far better for Eve than when next sbe
should see her face in the fountain, II should
be that Of sin-tsmp,ed, suffering woman,
than a joyous spirit, for it would remind her
that henoeforth her lot, and al her daughters,
was not 70 triumph but to endure,
But the angel stole that heavenly express
sion from the face ofour erring mother, as she

The last rays that the sun she'd over the home

The Last of the HGumbaoks. .

THE counting of the soiled postage
stamps, which were two or three months
ago deposited at the New York PostOfice
for redemption, is not only completed
but at least nine-tsnths of the stamps
have been redeemed, and notice is given
to the owners Of the remaining one-tenth
that they should forthwith report them
selves at the Postofice with their certif-
Gates of deposit, and receive current funds
in lieu of their old "gumbacks." It is
desired to close the account, and persons
interested may save themselves inconve-
nience by making early application for
the money which is due them.
The aggregate amount of claims of de-
pOsitOrs is over two hundred and sixty
thousand dollars, and the whole number
Of washed and other stamps which were
thrown out is comparatively small, being
only about FIVE per cent. of the whole.
This fact is owing to the care that was
taken by honest holders to throw out all
stamps that had been used before making
their claims at the Postofice, so that a
large proportion of the five per cent. of
rejected stamps was offered with knowl-
edge of their character, or fraudulent
design.
The asserting and counting of the
stamps has occupied three months time.
This work was performed, with that of
redemption also, under the general super
vision of the Postmaster, but the partic-
ular direction of the whole was assigned
to the Treasury Department. An agent
of the government also gave his attention
to the details Of the reception of the
stamps and to other matters connected /
with the redemption. The counting of
the stamps was most troublesome bust
less. Their denominations were from
,ne to ninety cents; there we're few, how
ever, of greater value than twenty-four
tents, and quite as many one cent stamps
we're of the member, it is estimated, as of
III other denominations. A considerable

Some idea of the extent of the labor
involved may be formed from the fact

lalf; and it is believed that that man, in
Of the perplexing nature Of
he work, would, at or before the end of

number of persons who presented packa-
ges of stamps was about fifteen thousand,

falsely represented as being much changed since
