Tell.Tale Tomatoes.

"Where did you get them tomatoes ?"
asked an old Long Island farmer, the
other morning, of neighbor whose
real estate yielded product of nil, and
on which there was not single tomato
vine. His basket was full Of very fine
ripe specimens, which the farmer thought
he recognized. 1t wasn't the first time
that suspicious of his impecunious neigh
bor's honesty had arisen in his mind
" Where did you get 'em? ?"
Bought EN-"
"Who did you buy 'em of"
"Bill Van Brunt, on Crow Hill"
"Ah let us look at your hands,"
With his basket on his arm, he held
out both hands for examination.
"What do you want to look at my
hands forP There amt nothing on to
'em."
The old farmer was washing his own
hands at the time in tin basin of rain
water, with wooden bowl of curdled
brown soft-sosp before him.
"No, there amt nothing on 'em that
you can see; but look a here, set down
your basket and wash 'em. It's very
cooling, and your face and hands looks
hot"
So saying, he emptied the basin, filled
it with cold water, pointed to the soap
dish, and relieved the bearer of his bas-
ket
The first immersion and friction of the
hands in the water let the cat out of the
bag. 1t at once turned green; grew
greener and greener every second, and
at length was an intense dark green.
"Here, Jim," said the old farmer to
his tow-headed son, take in this bas-
ket and empty it, and bring it out agin
Then turning to his honest neighbor, he
said:
"You hooked them tomatoes from my
patch not half an hour ago. Three OF
four Of the top ones knew in minute
Here's your basket"
If any reader would test this discov-
cry of theft, let him pick one or two
tomatoes, separating the vines with his
naked hand, and then wash it. There is
mysterious something about the plant
perfectly colorless, that instantly i'm
parts the green, which cannot be seen
until water removes it.

Poisoned Whiskey.

The Philadelphia Price Current says: :
Western distillers have recently in
vented new method of manufacturing
whiskey by means of which apeculiar
strength and odor are impaired to the
product, highly injurious to the health
of consumers. Neither the noxious in
gradients themselves nor the process of
manufacturing are known to many out
side the "ring," but sufficient is known
to show the character of the business.
Sulphuric acid is added to the mash or
applied directly to the product of the
stills, which imparts disagreeable odor
to the whiskey, and is so powerful in its
effect that it eats up the inside of the
barrels in which the compound is kept.
Another feature of this whiskey is that
it cannot be extracted by any process Of
distillation. redistillation or rectifcation.
BY experiment it has been shown that
if small piece of iron or copper is in
serted into barrel of whiskey adulter-
ated with this acid, the entire mass will
be instantly blackened, and if left for a
short time a large quantity of disacetate
of copper or verdigris viii be evolved

The Continental Navy.

The war of the Revolution was begun
without single armed vessel. The first
in the service were fitted ont by Rhode
Island, in 1775, which were two schoon-
ers in the defense of the coasting trade.
That State was also the first to recon-
mend to Congress the formation of a
naval force, and in December, 1775, Con-
gress commissioned thirteen vessels, as a
commencement of the navy. w
In the spring of 1776, Massachusetts
fitted out several armed vessels, the flag
of which was white, with the figure OF
pine or liberty tree, with the motto,
/" We appeal to Heaven" laa e-ss
The first naval battle took place about
three weeks after the battle of Lexing-
ton, Captain Wheaton being said to
have caused the striking of the first
British flag on the ocean. -.
No Congressional laws had been
passed for the creation of the navy, and
when Washington undertook to get up
and send to sea an expedition of six
vessels, he was obliged to address them
as "part of the army" ... 'eyH.
The earliest frigate from Philadelphia,
the Alfred, Captain Hopkins, of which
Paul Jones was the lieutenant, displayed
flag of thirteen stripes of red and blue,
with rattlesnake in a running attitude,
mouth open and sting projected, with
the motto, "Don't tread on me-" This
same flag was borne by the Alliance
frigate, under command of Paul Jones,
when she dashed through British fleet
of twenty-one sail of war vessels in the
North Sea, receiving their fire and max
ing her escape. A London paper OF
July, 1T76, commends the device of the
rattlesnake, and regards it as peculiarly
appropriate to our American position
and character.
The officers of the first naAy were
in many respects different from the pres
ent. In their dress there was but little
show or grandeur. They wore small
cooked hats, without lace; hair pow
dered and curled coats with ample
skirts and foul-anchor buttons; small
clothes, hose and shoes. Their dignity
and sternness, when they aimed at any
was not before their countrymen, but be.
fore the enemy. They had not been
bred originally for drawing-room and
courtly display; but they had no de.
fciency in polished circles when called
to the exercises of their rules and usages
