enlisted in the nion army. and lcit his
wife and home tjtry the hartlships OF war.

engaged in the severely contested battle at
Antietam. Among those reported ms hay-
ing been killed. his wife found the name Of
her husband. True 10 her plighted love,
she repaired 10 the battle ground, and. ms
she thought found the corpse of her hus-
band. She had his remains brought home
and buried. Time rolling on, she laid aside
the widows weeds, and contracted another
matrimonial alliance, laboring under the
impression that she had really buried her
first husband. Strange To say. n few weeks
ago he returned, hale and hearty. What
was now TO be done-two husbands 10
whom she was legally married stood before
her-what could or should she dog Likea

a correspondent Of The SC. Louis Repub-
iicaA writing from Brazil, has the follow
ing about the banana
But the most wonderful production of
this and all tropical countries, in my esti-
nation. Is the banana and its synonym. the
plantain. We have half dozen varieties
each with peculiar flavor and qualities.
Some grow only eight or ten feet high
Others twenty. The stalks are from six to
twelve inches thick, but almost as soft aud
succulcnt as celery. Each of them bear
one bunch of bananas, and one only, when
it is cut down with stroke of the espd dd
to secure the fruit and give place to other
stalks. And thus they grow and ripcn
pcrpctually all the year round. A great
traveller has calculated that the plantain on
one acre of ground will produce rs much
food as one hundred and thirty-thrcc acres
Of wheat or forty-four acres of potatoes.
The fruit constitutes the principal reliance
OF the poor, and Is q luXury for all. II is
good raw, roasted, baked, and indeed i'm
every form, and equally rclshed by all do
nestle fowls and animals that devour fruit,
leaves. stalks and all, with the greatest
avidity.
The banana requires but single plant
ing for lifetime-putting in the ground
single sprout or shoot from the banana
patches, at distance of twenty or thirty
feet from each other, and ON ground that
always calculate to spare for that purpose.
because tt Is impossible to eXtirpate the
root. The one stalk soou gives more
sprlnging out from the sides in the ground
petually-and in few years covering
the intervening spaces till the whole sur
face becomes Il forest of fruit and foliage.
with scarcely room to pass through the cool
6VerlIanging arches. A banana, or u ban
ana patch, is n beautiful sight-with the
stalks and their produce in all stauCs of
perfection, the broad leaves waving in the
breeze aud tanning in lazy reposc. while
the bodies of the trees bend under their
luscious burdens, and would often break
down with the weight, except from neigh
boring support.
There are hundred or two of bananas
on bunch like grapes, and the bunches
are generally rs Lluch as stout man can
carry. They should always be cut as soni
as the fruit is matured-but while the skin
is yet greenland hung up in the shade to
turn yellow, which improves the flavor. lt
takes about year for stalk and fruit To
mature from the first planting, hut then
there is never any more trouble with the
crop, scarcely any hoeing or wedding, no
culture only ''slay and eat Certainly it is
the greatest boon ever bestowed on the in
dolcnt tropics. A native, swinging in his
hammock, with bunch of ripe hananas
hanging in reach on the one side. and u
smoldcring fire on the other, by which he
may light his little cigar without getting
up, Is most perfect picture of content

Between England and France. are two
small islands-,Ierscy aud Guernsey. The
The former contains a population of ci"ht
hundred, and the latter six hundred, to the
square mile, while Great Britain has only
two hundred and eighty. and Belgium four
hundred and forty. In Jersey there is one
inhabited house To twelve acres, yet, with
out factories or mines, thcir exports and
imports are very large. Tho people are
accumulating money. and there are no
poor One item uf their import is signin-
cant. They imported last year nearly 400
600 pounds of tea, or nearly eight pounds
to each person. Tho quantity of stock kept
on these small farms is improving. No
sheep are kept. The COWS are soiled. and.
while the soil Is too sandy for clover, and
lucern Is grown instead, thcy yet two
pounds of butter from them per uiY On
u farm of eight acres, there will be about
live cows, three heitcrs, one horse. and three
pigs. These farms are generally owned by
the farmer. but when rented they fetch
enormous prices. ranging from So TO $25 in
gold per year per acre. No manures are
imported. but sea-wccd is extensively used
for manurial purposes. The climate is cX-
cccdingly mild, frost never continuing for
any great length OF time. nor does snow
remain for any considerable period.
For Il thousand years the law has pre-
vailed by which the land of the parent has
been divided among the children. This
accounts for the extreme snallnesS of the
farms. and the perfect tillage 10 which they
are subjected, and great profit which they
