EATABLE MUsl1ROoRIs.

Few persons OF this country are
aware Of the number ofspecies Of fungi,
or mushrooms, that are capable of be-
ing made useful as food, or for sauces.
and of the excellent qualities that many
of them present. One or two species,
gathered with much apprehension, and
frowned upon by most persons, e1-
haust the stock of availables in this dis
rection, while our more fortunate or
more learned foreign brethren have at
their command varieties that serve to
replace nearly every kind OF food, or
at least aid in giving.to them piquant
favor. One species, known as "vege-
table beefsteak." cut in slices, slowed
for half an hour, and then fried with
gravy,s would be readily mistaken,
with the eyes shut, for the article the
name of which 1t bears. The puff balls
sliced, fried with egg and few bread
crumbs and fine herbs, present a no
distant resemblance to very fine ONE
flette. 4 tr 81 E sEt
Another species, called the "fairy
ring mushroom" which is found on
every grass plat in Europe, when broil-
ed, on toast and before the fire under
cover, makes dish "ft to set before
king" Another furnishes an excel
lent substitute for sweet breads. The
English cookery books abound in re-
ceipts for dressing these different forms
Of fungi, and every imaginable way, no
less than q hundred receipts being found
In some of them. 1t is, of course, well
to be careful in regard to the use OF
mushrooms in this country, and where
IA
to abstain from them althgether.
A gentleman, however, residing In
North Carolina, the highest American
authority on this family (Dr. Curtis,)
1t is understood, has been for some time
engaged in preparing an illustrated
work upon the mushrooms, in which,
by means of figures and general des.
crlptions. he expects to be able to point
out readily what species may be eaten
and what must be avoided, so as to rem
entirely practicable with such a guide
to make suitable selection from those
that present themselves to notice In our
daily walks. 1t is said to be perfectly
possible by means OF simple and In
telligible instructions to distinguish
between the noxious and useful kinds,
though we shall not attempt here to
give the rules which are published on
this subject, for fear of leading some OF
our readers into difficulty.
that are known to the French and
English cooks are found In this coun-
try, and some species of finer qualities
than any that are met with abroad.
The total number of species that are
not merely" eatable, but actually de-
sirable, as articles of food, amounts,
we believe, to as many as sixty; and II
is said that the proportion of the poi~
sonous kinds to those that are whole
some, is not greater than exists between
the wild fruits and berries that are Or
dinarily met with.

ANOTHER WONDER.
Extraordinary Exodus OF Honey Bee
From, ihe L0,ttspttle DemOcra!. July 12.

From Ehe Louisville Democrat, July II.
One of the most remarkable occur
rences that has ever come to our knowl-
edge, was related to us yesterday. Mr..
James Broil, a farmer, who resides
about seven miles from the city, on the
river road, has for some time past been
engaged extensively in raising honey
bees, and with almost unprecedented
success. He had lately rejoiced in as
many as forty.fve hives of the industrt-
GUS little "cusses," and, to use home.
ly phrase, they have been plying them
selves like Turks, and making "slath~
ers" of honey for the winter. a few
mornings ago, however. Mr.. Broil woke
up to find his bees non est. They had
'lit out"' between two days, leaving no
trace whatever of the point or region
of country to which they had SO uncer-
enormously migrated. There was not
bee left to keep it's lonely watch over
the forty. five hives. AS might be ex-
pected, farmer Broil was left in consid-
erable of dilemma, and Immediately
consulted all the authorities at his COM
mand in relation to the peculiar habits
and freaks of the bee tribe. After read
ing through many volumes 1t occurred
to him that some of his neighbors
might be able to explain the why's and
Wherefores of this "bounty- jumping
move on the part of his army of honey
makers" He accordingly made "bee
line'' for the residence of his nearest
neighbor to consult him on the singu-
lar problem. To his utter surprise ne
ascertained that his friend, who Is also
a "beeist" had met with the same loss
In the same sudden manner and was
In tn same perplexity as to the cause.
They at once resolved on examining
the hives, and it revealed to them the
fact that each stand contained from
sixty to seventy-fye pounds of honey.
This development led the two bee rails
ers to seek for further Information, and
in their rounds, for a circuit of twenty
five miles, they found that every hive
had been deserted about the same time,
and all ofthem were left full of honey.
The farmers in that region are unable
to account for this mysterious disap'
pearance of their bees, and many theo.
ries have been advanced, but to this
time the problem remains unsolved.
| The opinion of most of them is that the
mildness of the weather up to so late a
season caused this singular migration.

Trial or Mile Gaines for the Murder
|. OF the VVatchman I'm the Inte-
rIOr Department.

WARRINGTON, D. c., July 20.
The trial of Millie Gaines, colored,
for the murder OF James G. 1ngle, a
white man, watchman in the Interior
Department., in March last, terminated
to-day. According to her own story
she had been on terms of improper !in-
timacy with the deceased with pros
pect Of becoming q mother. She had
threatened to kill Ingle and lady
whom he had invited to go to
inauguration reception. Millle was
subsequently interrogated by him,
when she repeated the threat: Where
upon he drew pistol and placed 1t TO
her head, but could not discharge 1t.
The accused had asked him for money
in view of the anticipated offspring,
when he repulsed her. A short time
after this scene, she took advantage Of
his lying on a lounge at boarding
house in which she was = servant, and
killed him with an axe or hatchet.
The counsel for the defence set up q
plea of insanity, and numerous witness
ses were examined on this point. The
father of the prisoner showed that from
the time of her great grand parents up
to the present period, Insanity had been
the ruling affection OF the family. The
jury after an absence of two minutes
returned with a verdict Of not guilty.
Six of the jurors were white and the
other six colored men. This is the first
murder trial in the District of Columbia
In which the latter race have served as
Jurors,
