for the farmer.
The Ourrant.

Compared with its value and the num-
Der of uses to which it is applied. the cur
tant is a neglected fruit. ''The first cor
rect record we have of the currant as a
fruit under cultivation, was 4. ID. 1900 !;
but once introduced it increased rapidly in
favor, and growing SO readily from cuttings
or shoots, it was found in the garden of ev
cry stranger %
Every owner of lot plants few currant
bushes, and as rule every owner OF lot
neglects their cultivation. Usually they are
given a position as close to the side of a
fence as possible, and if they grow and pro-
duce fruit In abundance, all very well if
they do not fruit abundantly, the owner re-
marks that currants don t seem to do in my
garden.
No other fruit growing plant in the
whole list, fruits so well or endures so many
years under complete neglect as the currant !;
and We believe no other fruit has in itself
valuable qualities for so many uses as the
currant. 1t thrives in any soil, shade or
sunshine, and if planted in varied expo
sures may be had in eating over two months.
As dessert fruit it is cooling and grateful
TO the stomach, ornamental and attractive
on the table, valuable for its medicinal
qualities being used to allay thirst in feb
rlle complaints, to lessen an increased secre-
ton of bile, to correct putrid and scor-
butte state of the fluids, to strengthen the
stomach and excite appetite. 1t is used for
tarts and pies when green and can be kept
fresh for years in bottles. Ripe, it is not
only used as deserts but is made into jellies
and wines, and can be distilled into brandy.
As a crop for market, planted four by
four feet, the currant yields from one hun
dred and fifty to two hundred bushels to the
acre and if sold in market, usually brings
about two dollars bushel Made into
wine and the product sold at two dollars
gallon, it has returned over 5000 to the
acre. Ohio Farmer.

From the Philadelphia Press, April o.
The subject ol conversation yesterday was the

yesterday IN the cellar window OF the Academy of
Natural sciences. IL Is supposed to have been used
by the thieves, and thrown there they taking
their departure from the savings bank.
II has been discovered that the amount Of bonds
stolen will reach $tW0,0D0, exclusive OF the cash
Included In this amount Is q diamond bracelet con-
taning 200 briliants and valued at $4,000. A val
liable single stone BRILLIANT the property OF the lady
who owned the bracelet, was recently removed

OF practical Imagination to say that tnis city Is
destined to he one OF tine largest Of the world,
and at no distant day. The moment steamers tap
the vast storehouse of Bolivian wealth IL will give
Para mighty Impulse.
BY careful examination OF imports for 1857 into
Spanish South American countries find that they
consume little In excess OF nine dollars gold per
head OF population. Bolivia, from her sealed up po-
stlon, consumes but 81 so per head. once her COM
merce by the Amazon Is well opened she may De
expected TO consume at least the same amount as
the above average This will give her SIS 050 OF
imports annually; an equal II not greater amount
OF exports Will swell her entire foreign trade 10
$50, 100000 annually.
There is an internal trade in Bolivia amounting to
about s50,010,0O0 annually. The Yungas valley
alone furnishes about s5000,000 OF this. OF the for
