Every boy in America likes peanuts, and
yee very few of them know where they
come from. They can be grown in almost
everybody's yard, but they flourish in North
Carolina. Upon the sandy lands in the
neighborhood of Cape Fear, they raise from
fifteen to seventy-fve bushels to the acre.
At the price of one dollar per bushel, it
proves a profitable crop. The cultivation
OF it is easy-frst the pillow, then the sweep
and wedding hoe The vine makes an ex-
cellent food for cattle, and is equal to the
best Northern hay. From the nut is press
ed valuable oil which is of peculiar value
from the fact that it does not gum. 1t is
used in the preparation of medicines, for
burning purposes, and has been introduced
as condiment in salads. Such and so
varied and important are the uses to which
this simple product is-devoted.
This paragraph, evidently taken from a
Northern paper, contains much valuable
information, but does not exhaust the SUBJ
ject., It should have been added that the
peanut, which is about as much of o nut as
popcorn, is known in its native country as
the goober, and was much sought for during
the war by the soldiers from that region,
called oober-grabblers." Indeed they
never fought better than with COOLER
patch in their rear; then. they felt at home,
or, as they say in Massachusetts, Ito hum"
Take them out of sight of their favorite vine |

only four white persons present-vlz A.

Mr.. Davidson assembled the rostrum and

EuIogy on Engineers.

Brick Pomeroy," Of the Lacrosse Dem.
oc,at, Thus discourseth concerning the
railroad engineers: The engineer stands
ut I,s post, his oyO closely scnnning the
hand holding on the iron bar which
stops, starts and regulates the monster
that is obedient to the lishtest touch of
genius and skill. In the hollow of that
mans hand-in the glance of his eye
in the brain under the cap pulled So
closely down-in the perfection of his
knowledge, and the careful scrutiny of
his mechanical eye-are the lives of men
and women, whose places on earth could
not well be spared. See how steadily
the train runs 1t passes the mile-post,
and the next, and the next, on time, to q
minute. The engineer looks at the track,
at the timetable held in clamp before
him-at the clock on the engine-at the
steam gauge at his left hand He touch
es the lever; we run faster or slower as
he wills; and the train stops at station
after station to the SecOnd. The fireman
opens tho iron door bya chain, he swings
it back, and into the red hot, roaring,
suffocating, livid, pent-up edition OF
Hades the fuel is tossed, and clank' goes
the door as the heat increases, and the
steam is made by whose power we rush
ahead. We love the engineer-'the mon
arch of the footboardn His hands are
hard, his pants soiled, his face moist with
sweat; but it is his care which bears
thousands in safety, and his skill which
makes us feel as safe on the Cow catcher
as in our own sanctum.
God bless and preserve the engineer,
On all the pages of history there are 10
braver records than those made by rail
road engineers. We once heard the
whistle of an engineer at Des Jardin's
Bridge, when with hand on the scream
ing whistle he sounded the alarm, and
whistled himself down sixty feet into
the murky waters and into heaven; never
deserting his post in the plunge which
was fatal to sixty-three out of eighty one
souls. He was fonnd at the bottom OF
the river, his hand firmly holding the
lever-his compressed lips telling the
noble story of his death, We have heard
him time and again; we have stood by
him on the engine in the hour of sudden
danger, and seen how brave man would
act when death reached out its bony
hand as we whirled past the door OF
eternity, so widely opened that we could
almost hear the voices Of those within
We have seen engineers in danger scores
of times, but we never yetsaw one desert
his post. To the noble ones who have
died in their duty and their glory-tC
each one of these we sound OW whistle
three times, for All hail thou noble
man."
