sides of the diminutive beds; something
like the drills which farmers make tor
green crops. As the proprietor goes
along he removes suudry branches that
are in perfection, and leaves them on
the spot, so that they may be gathered
with the collections for tomorrow s
market. He gathers largely every day,
occasionally sending more than 400
pounds weight per day, the average be-
ing about 800 pounds. A moment
more and we were in an open space, a
sort of chamber, say 20 feet by IL feet;
and here the little beds are arranged in
parallel lines, passage of not more
than four inches separating them, and
the sides of the beds literally blistered
over with mushrooms.
Generally the mushrooms grow in
punches, and SO equally sized that it is
often desirable to gather the whole crop
at the same time. The sides of one bed
here had been almost stripped by the
taking away of such punches, and it is
worthy of note that they are not only
taken out root and all when being gath.
cred, but the very spot in which they
grow is scraped out a little so as to get
rid Of every trace of the old bunch, and
then the space is covered with a little
earth from the bottom of the heap. 1t is
the habit to do this in every case, and
when our guide leaves a small hole from
which he has pulled even a solitary
mushroom, he fills it with some of the
white earth from the base, no doubt in
tending to gather other mushrooms from
the same spot ere many weeks pass. The
mushrooms look very white and pretty,
and are apparently of prime quality.
The absence Of all littery coverings,
dust, &C., and the daily gatherings Sc
cure them in what we may term perfect
condition. l visited this cave on the
9th day of July, and doubt very much
if at that season more remarkable crop
of mushrooms could be anywhere found
than was here presented in this subter.
ranean chamber-a mere speck in the
space devoted to mushroom culture
by one individual. When l state that
he has 10000 meters (yards) run of
mushroom beds in the rami6cations of
this cave, and yet is but one of a large
class who devote themselves to mush-
room culture about here, your readers
will have some opportunity Of judging
of the extent to which mushroom cul-
ture is carried out about Paris, not only
for its own vast wants in this way, but

THE ROSE OF SHARoN-Is one of
the most exquisite flowers in shape, and
has lately been introduced to adorn the
parterres of our parks and gardens. Its
blossoms are bell shaped, and of many
mingled hues and dyes. But its history
is legendary and romantic in the highest
degree. In the East, throughout Syra,
Judea and Arabia, it is regarded with
the profouudest reverence. The leaves
that encircle tie round blossom dry and
close tight together when the season of
blossom is over, and the stock withering
completely from the stem, the flower is
blown away, at last, from the bush on
which it grew, having dried up in the
shape of ball, which is carried by the
sport Of the breeze to great distance.
In this way it is borne over the sandy
wastes and deserts, until at last, touching
some moist place it clings to the soil,
where it Immediately takes fresh root
and springs into life and beauty again.
For this reason the Orlentals have
adopted it as an emblem of the resur-
rection. The dried flower is placed in
vase of water beside the bed of women
in labor, by the Judeans, and if it ex.
pands with the moisture, the omen is
considered favorable. If it does not the
worst is feared

nea, Australian Beef and Mutton are
now being introduced into England in
large quantities. Formerly the sheep
and cattle of Australia exceeded by sew
cral million the actual wants of the col~
onists, who in order to dispose of their
hocks proftably we're obliged to boil
down the carcases for the low, which
with the skins and the wool formed the
principle articles of export The Gov
eminent of the Colony of Queensland,
not long ago, offered q handsome re-
ward to the person who should succeed
in shipping to England a given quanti
ty of Australian meat Numerous at
tempts have been made to carry out
this project, but the failures have been
very large in number Recently how.
ever there has been received in Eng
land 2000 whole sheep, $500 legs Of
mutton and 10 tons of beef, shipped
from Australia. The process of this prep
aration is very simple. The bones are
cut out of the carcass, which is then
stepped in pickle, wrapped up in clean
white cloths, and packed closely in bars
rels with the interstics filled up with
seeds or melted fat, for the purpose of
excluding the air. Another expert
wenter has fitted up ship with the ne.
cessary apparatus for receiving cargo
of frozen meat, which is expected to
arrive in England about December.

MIKE THEN TELL YOU

When Radical asks you to vote for
Grant and Colfax, make him tell you
how much benefit you or the country
will derive from such a course. Make
him tell you why it is that in time of
peace, the party he asks you to support
keeps standing army that costs the
taxpayers of the country one hundred
and .tyty millions a gear.
Make him tell you what has become
of the millions upon millions of dollars
that have been paid into the public
treasury since the introduction of his
party into powtr-that there is no ac-
count of now.
Make him tell you why it is that
with all the taxes and tariffs that are
wrung from the people annually, the
public debt is still increasing 1t the rate
of ten millions Of dollars per month.
Make him tell you why his party
makes negro voters in all States Of
the South, anG then denies being
in favor of negro suffrage here in the
North.
Make him tell you what justice there
is in the Radical doctrine of taxa
tion-which exempts the rich from al
taxes and places them upon the should
ers of the poor.
Make him tell yon how it is tha
three years after the war has ceased
that the Union for which we were tolG
it was waged, is further from being re-
stored than it was at the beginning.
Make him tell you why the bloat
ed bondholders who robbed the gov
eminent and invested the money he
stole in tax-exempted bonds, should re-
ceive gold for its interest, while you ar,
compelled to take greenbacks for you
work.
Make him tell you why the laborinl

WHO PA vs.?

One of the most apt illustrations
which we have ever seen, to show the
relation that the workingmen in all
countries sustain to the other classes of
society, and how they are affected by
public extravaganza and heavy taxation,
we 6nd in an old legend recently re-
produced, and applied with great effect
to our own times, and the questions now
before the American people. 1t is as
follows:
In former times, it is said, there was
hotel in the western part of England
called the Six All and the sign in
front of the tavern represented its mean
ing. There was painted in the centre
of the sign the King, with his crown
upon his head-underneath him was
written, " rule ALL" To the right of
the King was the lawer, with a wig
upon his head, and underneath him " l
plead for ALL" Above was the preacher,
and underneath him, 81 pray for all"
At his side was a soldier of the army,
aud underneath; "I fight for ALL" Be-
low all was the laboring man, and un~
derneath him the story was all written,
L pay for all"
This lacks few clements which per-
haps did not exist in England at the
early period when this legend origina-
ted, which now might with propricty
be added there as we'll as here. The
banker should be introduced, and made
to say, " I profit by all" the manufac-
turer, II draw bounties from all" the
bondholder, 81 draw my gold from all"
Then it would still be as true of the
workiugmen as in the above, " I pay
all"

KING COAI.--lt is at this season that coal
dealers reap their most considerable harvest.
The weather we have been experiencing for
a day or two sends those who are out Of
coal to the right about, to obtain the needed
supply. The Coal Valley Mining Company
is now running tAree trains per day, bring
ing in an aggregate daily supply Of 400 tons
or more, the largest proportion OF which u
transported to Davenport, aud the interior
Of Iowa. The company has two hundred
aud twenty-five men and boys employed in
mining it. There is q rumor in circulation
that the Black Diamond coal company has
struck upon new vein as illimited in ex.
tent as that worked by the Messrs. Gable,
but on inquiry we learn that the coal which
the Black Diamond company is working is
neither lower or new vein, but small
residue containing a section of the same
vein now worked by the Messrs. Gable. 1t
is certain, however that there is an abund-
ance Of coal all around ,us-in point Of fact
that a strata Of carbon underlies almost the
entire territory of Illinois. Very near the
city of Springfield they are now taking out,
from two hundred and fifty feet below the
surface, an abundant supply of exceedingly
fine coal The Register says there is enough
in the neighborhood of Springfield to sup.
ply the entire state of Illinois for the next
hundred years. The coal fields in our neigh.
borhood are probably equally extensive, and
practically inexhaustibe. The same state.
ment is equally true almost oil over the
state. Practical miners discover the ndica.
ton of coal beds sufficiently thick to pay
large profits for working, and the state geol.
ogist and other scientific big wigs confirm it
in their reports, Let some Of our enter.
prizing men see if they can't find lower
and better strata of coal, and thus put money
in their pockets and give new impetus to
business. Coal is King, now. Let it be de-
veloped as rapidly and extensively as posi-,
