At the frat council held by this royal per-
sonage, DR.. Wake, Archbishop Of Canter-
bury, produced the late Kings viii, and
delivered it to the new sovereign, expecting
that it would be opened there and then, and
publicly read. The King put the document
into his pocket, and walked out of the room
without saying a word. 1t was his duty, as
trustee, to have demanded the publication,
or at least the registration of the document,
but a fear of giving offense to the living
prevented his performing the trust delegated
to him by the dead monarch. None Of the
other courtiers dared to do what he, high in
station as Primate of England, had neglect
ed to do Whispers went abroad that the
King had burned his fathers VII, and, at
all events, its iDjunctions remained unful-
filled 1t was known, however, that George

Duchess Of Kendall, insisted on her mother

Frederick the Great, made f.equent and

insects for Food.

In some latitudes, insects are considered
a great luxury. Rome has its snail market
as well as it's fish and meat mark els, and
the historian says that in the most luXu-
rious days of Rome, the tables of the BAN
quoting halls were graced with dishes of
fattened caterpillar grubs of great luscious
ness. In Northern Africa, wagon loads of
llcusts are brought into the cities to furnish
their inhabitants with very popular dish.
they are preferred by the Moors to pigeons,
who consider two or three hundred Of them
moderate quantity for each person at the
table. In other parts of Africa the white
ants are the chosen luxuries for the table,
They are parched in iron pots over gentle
Ere and then, without sauce, are served up
as delicious food. A distinguished traveller
says that he has often partaken of this dish,
and thinks it delicate, nourishing, and
wholesome, resembling in taste sugared
cream or almond paste. And why should
we sneer at the African for dining upon
white ants The Arabs as much disguised
with our use of the oyster as we can be
with his parched locusts. The Chinaman
dimes on the chrysalis of the silk worm, and
derides the Frenchman for his love of frog
and snail soup. We glory in clam chowder,
fried oysters and roasted crabs, and profess
disgust for distant people because their
breakfast is made of roasted spiders.
We don't know but there may yet be found
in the insect world greater luxuries for our
tables than we have ever gathered from the
treasures hid in the sands. Indeed. an en-
inent entomologist has pronounced, upon
his own authority, the large grasshopper to
be excellent food; but he is in advance in
his boldness which few are yet ready to i'm
itate. But we have followed that most dar-
ing man who first swallowed an oyster, and
we honor him, whoever he may be, as a
benefactor of his race, for having introduced
us to such luxury.
| THE NORTH PoLE-Two French gentle
men recently explored the island of Spitz-
| bergen in a manner never before done.
They have measured the mountains, map
ped the whole coast, examined the vegetable
products, the geological composition, Sc,
\ Of the island They found that the long
day, extending over several months, during
which the sun never sets, became intensely
hot after month or two, by the unceasing
heat from the sun. In this period vegetation
springs up in great luxuriance and album
dance. The North Pole is only matter of
| 600 miles from the island, and it is thought
/ by the two explorers, as Dy many otners,
that the pole itself, and the sea which is
supposed to surround it, could be reached
from Spitzbergen without any great difficult
ties being encountered. singular fact
noticed by the explorers in connection with
this island is the enormous quantities of
floating timber which literally covers the
waters of the bays and creeks. A careful
examination of the character, condition,
and kind of those floating logs would, no
doubt. lead to a conclusion as to whence
and how tley came, and probably suggest
new theorits for the solution of geograph-
ical problems connected with the Arctic
Seas.

Financial and Commercial.

Business on the Cincinnati street railways
for five months show the total earnings to
be one hundred and sixty one thousand dol
lars.
Secretary Fessenden, in December, 1884,
estimated the receipts for customs for the
fiscal year ending last Saturday, at $70,-
100000, whereas they have actually ex-
ceeded $40, 100000. HIS total estimates
of revenue were about $3.50, 900, 900 below
the actual receipts.
The entire receipts for the fiscal year end
ing June 80 are: Internal revenue, S307,-
100000; customs, gold, $169, 100000 !;
miscellaneous, $5O,o0O,0O0; total, $780,

Northern gentlemen who had leased, and
was cultivating a farm, were attacked by
four men with their faces BACKED, and
robbed of $4,000 While this was going on.
another party of men entered stable and
wantonly killed all the horses of the planta-
ton. The negroes turning out, were fired
on, and five were killed. The negroes re-
turned the fire, driving off the assailants,
but not until the latter had set the stable,
cotton gin, and other valuable property on
fire. The assassins were followed by the
planters, but were too many to attack sue
cessfully.
At Memphis, about P. M. on the Sd, a
policeman was SHOT by two drunken negroes.
The difficulty originated in bar room.
The negroes went in and ordered drinks,
when the officer stepped up and ordered the
bar keeper not to sell liquor to blacks The
latter became enraged at this, and high
words passed between the parties; when
the officer attempted to arrest them, one
pulled out revolver and shot three times,
all three balls taking effect in the police
mans body. He lived but ten minutes after
being shot. Bystanders then demanded
the blacks, and would have lynched them
if more policemen had not arrived. The
negroes were remanded to Jail to await ex-
animation. The affair caused much ex-
element. The jailor has been notified to
keep his assistants fully armed to resist any
attack made.

SALT AS A MAsURE.--Salt acts in two ways :
First, as food for the plant; and secondly, by
rendering other substances, particularly phoE-
pilates, available for the purposes OF nutrition !.
We have had long experience in the use OF
salt as an auxiliary manure, and In most cases
have found IL OF mach service. There are
parts of the country where an application OF
salt will not produce any marked results such
as districts exposed to heavy rains coming di-
rect from the sea during considerable part OF
the year. This we have noticed especially OF
certain parts OF the western coasts OF the Brit
ish Islands. Where much town manure is
used salt ia ALSO less eficacious, generally
speaking, as such manure usually contains u
certain amount OF it. The quantities we used
ere as follows:
For green crops, 8 to 8 cwt., per impsrit
aere for cere Is and young grass, . to cwt.
For roots il may be sown broadcast over the
land beiJre the drills are made and in the case
OF cereals TIE quantity TO be applied may be
divided iuto equal parts, Que half being FIRST
applied, and tue Iemsinder after the iatervnl .

fifty acres of cabbsges, most of which were
buried iu the field by placing the heads close
together in deep furrow, with the roots up
ward, and turning the earth against aud over
them, with pillow, leaving lew inches of the
ends to extend above the surface of the ridge
| Mr.. McLoury produces about 4,84O heads pei

about three feet In each direction. Some gar.
deners, however consider two and halt ieei
apart by three, superior to three. The heads
are sold for about SO per hundred in the field

CULTIVATION OF oRoH ARDS.

The most proper and economical system of
cultivating the coil OF orchards, adapted TO the
entire lite OF the trees 10 u very important
horticultural question at the present time -
Various systems are successfully practiced and
strongly advocated by cultivators of wide ex-
perience and mature kno ledge. And perhaps
1t 10 the truth that no single aud exact meth
cd can be adopted with the largest success in
all the varied soils aud climates i'll the Unioa.
The impediments to prosperous fruit growth 4
are not alike 10 Maine, Illinois aud California,
and success may not always be achieved thro'
similar meaus.
In general, however, the best cultivation OF
| orchards ia that which maintains the requisite
fertility of soil, keeps it light and porous, cas-
| lily permeable to air aud moisture, and which
Injuries least the roots Of the trees--either the
largest, which penetrates into the subsoi, or
the not less important furious roots which
spread through every inch of ground and seek
air aud warmth near the surface.
Au orchard, whether old or young, cannot
be cropped with either roots or cereals, with
out decrease Of fertility, unless heavily man

Before planting out an orchard be sure tha
the soii is sufficiently dry. Then work il deep
