ASPARAGUS IN Seasonal French paper gives
some seasonable information with regard to aspa-
ragus This vegetable grows wild IN France, and
may even now be gathered in the Bois de Vincennes
and other French forests The wild asparagus is
long, thin and green all through, and has slightly
acid but agreeable taste. 1t was first cultivated
nearly hundred years ago by well-known horti-
culturist, Louis Therault. He at once strongly
impressed with the difficulty since felt OF rearing
asparagus successfully, and declared that in order
to produce good result the watchfulness Of parent
and the skill OF physician are needed by the young
plants. They require above all things plenty OF sun
shine, and seem to acknowledge their ODugations
by pushing up their shoots towards the rising sun.
Most of the asparagus eaten in Paris is grown at
Argenteuil. Three sorts are cultivated there the
early intermediate, and late. The early variety
comes up about the 25th of March; it then costs 10
francs the bundle OF twenty stalks. The first
bundle generally appears on the Emperor's table.
The very largest stalks cost from 10 to GO francs
Besides the Argenteuil asparagus, the consumption
OF which greatly increases year by year, Paris sup
piled with asparagus from the south. This is long
and green, has a fine flavor, and requires very
little cooking, but is not much appreciated by the
Parslans.

TIE STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE
AND THE CAMPAIGN OF 1870.

ALL the signs of the times point to a very
lively contest next fall in the election for
members of Congress and of the State Legis-
lature. Owing to the utter failure of the
present Congress to appreciate the require
ments of the people in favor of financial re-
forms, in the abolition of the income tax, the
lessening of taxation, the funding of the
debt, and other matters of this nature
demanding immediate consideration,
there will BE doubtless many changes
made by the nominating conventions. The
Republicans of this State are in large majo-
rity, but there is SO much disgust manifested
at the do-nothing policy of Congress that our
friends must be up and doing if they want to
keep down the rising strength of the free
traders at Washington. 1t is notorious fact
that the Free Trade League is buying con-
trolling interest in the stock of all the news
papers it can reach, and in the Northwest
particularly they are making great progress.
Here in Pennsylvania, the stronghold of pro-
lection, we must present an unbroken front
and carry the State by large msjority.
This is necessary for the morale of the party
after the recent New York election. What
we want is a thorough organization of the
political elements of the State, and lice cam
paign. Last year the State Committee did little
or nothing till September. That is entirely
too late. We had no State Convention this
spring, and therefore the conduct of the cam
paign will fall to the State Central Committee
elected by the Philadelphia Convention of
1869. This body should be got together at
once and inaugurate vigorous war upon the
enemy. Let Mr.. Covode, then, call his COM
mittee together without delay. If the cam
paign is conducted by districts there will be
no concert of action. There mast be State
canvass, and thorough one. There is some
talk of sort of national campaign being
conducted under the leadership of a commit
tee of Congress. The members of that body
will have enough to do to take care of them
selves, and they have nothing whatever to do
with conducting the canvass in this State.
That duty belongs to the State Central Com
mittee

THE EMPIRE OF BRAZIL embraces an immense
territory. 1t contains within its borders 300t460
square miles, being 29i square miles larger than
the United States; but much OF 1t is a boundless
forest and will never be inhabited. Stt possesses
great advantages agricultural country TO those
who have moderate means, good health, and habits
Of industry The Brazllans are jealous " foreigners
as a nation but not as individuals. The Argentine
Republic is making much greater progress In I'M
provements than Brazil from the fact that everything
is done in the Argentine Republic to foster and
courage foreigners, while the reverse the In
Brazil. The production OF diamonds and their eX-
port from the country comparatively large. The
mines are regularly and Systematically worked, and
diamonds are much cheaper there than in the United
States or Europe. The amount exported In 1869
from Rio, that paid export duty, in value was
705937 being 232 caras but, OF course, duty is
paid only on a small portion OF the diamonds that
leave the country as they are so easily concealed
that the custom house officers cannot reach them.
The amount exported from Bahia is said TO be equal
to the amount from Rio. There over 5000
aborers engaged in the diamond mines OF Brazil.
Those tributary to Rio Janero are at Mnas, about
400 miles distant. The exports received by the Gov
ernment from other articles sent from Brazil for the
year 1869 amounted to S3,176375 and the amount
ceived from imports for the year 1869 was sl0 800
This is from Rio Janeiro. One-tenth OF all real
estate sold in the province Of Rio goes TO the Gov
erBment, but no taxes are paid on real estate In
Brazil The revenue is raised by export and import
duties-by licenses and stamps-whch are some
what onerous, but cannot be reduced, for the Gov
ernment is heavily in debt and every means OF tax
alton must be resorted to in keeping up the revenue
equal to its demands by the Government.
