THE SUPPLY OF FooD IN PARIs.-A French
correspondent writes tc the N. Y. Ecenino
Post:-"In order to reassure the population
on the score of provisions, the papers have
been directed to notify the public that there
is an immense reserve store in the Greuiers
d Abundance near the place de la Bastile'
This institution was commenced under the
empire for the express purpose of containing
areserve supply of flour and grain sufficient
for four months consumption. This der was
not entirely carried out, at least on the scale
originally projected, but the building, as ex.
isting at present, is 2,16O feet long, ca wide.
aud 32 in height, and can contain so, 600
sacks, of flour. Every baker in Paris was
obliged by law to keep within the Grenier
a deposit of twenty sacks, and could ware
house as much more as he pleased on the paw
ment OF moderate charge. The ordinary
consumption of flour in Paris is estimated at
two Thousand sacks day.
Horses are among the articles within Paris
which have been most deprecated by the
siege,at the auctions at Cneri's and the French
Taitersalls, in the Rue Beaujon, animals,
whose market price before the war varied from
1000 to 500 francs, have been sold at from 40
to 100 francs, and the poorjades of the flacres,
which are too small to BE- used for military
purposes, are disposed of for as little as fifteen
sous or franc apiece"

THE AFRICAN DIAMOND FIELps.-Tbe
New York Sun has letter from Pniel. on
the Vaal river, South Africa, the centre of the
diamond region, in which the writer says:
Last evening a Mr.. James arrived in King
Wllllamstown, bringing with him splendid
diamond weighing twenty-nine carats. Mr..
Bernard Lee arrived in the same place at the
same time with nine diamonds, which, though
small, were exceedingly pure. The excite
ment caused by their accounts of the MAJ vel
GUS luck which some of the miners have, has
caused number of tradesmen in the town
to sell out at great sacrifice ard start fer the
fields at once. They withst6bd the tempta-
tion as long as possible, but it finally became
too strong. Last week, lor instance, Mr..
Fowrie returned to King Williamstown with
pocket full of gems, for which he had work.
ed only fifteen days. In Hopetown itself A
magnificent diamond of thirty-six carats has
been dug up. From Hebron, Gongong and
Tritz Kama, also, reports come of signal sue
cess. Mr.. Hand is travelling through the
fields, and on every side purchasing gems. In
the last six days he purchased no less than
four hundred diamonds, among which was
one OF forty carats, and of such beauty that
the queen of all the Rrssias might wear If
Hands purchases are besides daily increa sine
for miners are pouring in at the rate Of n
thousand a week. The greatest story that
have yet heard is that about the finding of a
diamond weighing one hundred and einht
carats, and worth one hundred Thousand

A MAN named b. B. Smith, who was sup
posed to have been murdered by the Apache
Indians, with twelve others, about a year ago,
turned up at San Francisco recently. He
tells very romantic story of his capture by
band OF Indian warriors under the command
OF Mexican name Montola, who seemed to
take an insane delight in numbering traders.
OF his party, for some reason, he was alone
spared, and after being retained in captivity
for twenty eight days he was released, and
permitted to Iesume his journey. At the
time the massacre was reported. the cores

that Smiths body had been mutilated beyond

How 10 Cook Dried Beef.

Place the beef, nicely shaved off. 10 a
frying pan, with butter enough to fry it
let it fry until lite Drowned, theu
sprinkle in dry -four. as much as you
would take we're you going to mix it
with water let it brown, but take great
care not to burn it. When Drowned
sufficiently, add cream or milk enough to
make d gravy let it boil few moments,
add little butter and pepper and it ,s
done. aHr
Some very frequently boil egg and cut
Them up lengtbvise, and lay them around
on the NEST after it is poured on the
platter, This makes . very pretty and
very palatable dish, and with some nico
mashed potatoes, and swees potatoes and
tomatoes with sugar, and just ! triae Of
vinegar poured over them, supplies .
very good breakfast ,Fkss
Another way 10 cook dried beef is to
cut up sausage in slices and fry until
there is enough fat fried out to fry the
meat then put in the beef, and proceed
just as for frying in butter, using water
instead Of milk or cream for the gravy.
This gives an excellent favor unless
saussge is disliked.

AGRICULTURAL, DOMESTIC, &C.
Taking Care Of Implements.

1t is o lamentable fact that large
majority Of our farmers lose as much
from want Of proper care of tools as
from the actual wear and tear Of them.
Repeated wetting aud drying Injuries,
sooner or later, any kind OF woodwork !;
tho moisture getting into the cracks soon
begins tho work Of decay. This may be
prevented by the timoly and occasional
application Of some cheap paint. Much
has been said and written upon the value
Of tool.houses, and it Is hardly necessary
for US to add our mite to the general
collection; but providing the tool.house
is not all that should be done-the
shovels, spades, and forks are brought
into the tool house with the dirt sticking
to them, and in that condition they
remain through the winter, or until they
are again needed. AL practical farmers
know how much better a bright plow
turns the furlow, and how m -ch easier it
is on the team and driver, and yet they
will bring their plows and harrows in
every fall with the dirt sticking to them,
and allow them to remain 10 that condi-
tion until again wanted, much to their
own loss and expense. There arc various
mixtures which might be applied to the
iron to prevent rustiug, the cheapest Of
which is (unsalted) grease. A better
article may be formed by melting to
gether six pounds Of fresh (not salted)
lard and two of resin. An old iron pot
is good thing to keep and compound
mixture in. AS soon as q tool is done
being used for the season, clean 1t off aud
give it cont of this mixture, and oven if
it remains undisturbcd for years, it will
come out as bright as when put away.
Implements properly cared for will not
only last nearly twice as long ss where
this is not the case, but, as we said be-
fore, they are fay better ia every way

invidious. All the actors performed their

The music by the band, taking into con
sidcration the fact that most Of the per-
FORMERS arc meie ,povitia!es, was very
creaitable. The charadcs and other

The winter protection Of choice plants
does not receive as much attention as it
should. Great numbers Of them are
destroyed every year for want Of timely
protection from the rigors Of winter.
One nights frost frequently does an
immense amoant Of damage to half hardy
or tender plants left exposed to it. Even
hardy shrubs and herbaceous percnnials
should have a mulch over the roots.
Green house plants that have been set
out in flower beds should be returned tu
their stands before they receive damage
from frost. ...
