Vanilla.

The vanilla bean, or more properly cap
sule, is the fruit of Il climbing plant or
stout vine, native in the West Indies,
Mexico, and South America. Several va
rictics are known and cultivated. the Va
nilta oromatica yielding. it is said. the ii
nest fruit. The capsules are collected be-
fore they re quite ripe, dried in the shade,
and then coated with some fixed oil, after
which they are tied up i'm bundles, inclO-
sed in shcet-lead or tin-foil, and are then
ready for the market.
The hest of these pods are six to eight
inches long and about one fourth of an
inch in thickness. and are nearly straight.
tapcrng Il little at either end. Their sur
face is wrinkled, and of rich brown
color; the interior contains a soft black
pulp, i'm which is imbedded large num-
Der of very small shining black seeds.
The aroma of the vanilla is said not to eX-
list in the bean when growing, but to be
developed during and after the curing
process.
As vanilla, in substance, is announcement
to use in many cases, it is now nearly al
ways met with il the form of "cxtract.' -
This preparation, otherwise so desirable,
suffers the drawback of liability to adul-
teration with tonka-bean. Tonkl is quite
a different article. and was well known in
the days of snuff-taking is scent for the
titillating dust from which use it is
still commonly known as '.snuif-bean.' -
Although having Il somewhat vanilla-lihc
flavor, it is a very undesirable substitute
tor that article.
The surest way of getting a good ex-
tract of vanilla is to make it, which is cas-
iy done by siicing into small pieces al,
ounce of vanilla beans and covering them
in Il bottle with :; mixture OF one fourth
of pint of alcohol and the same quantity
of water. Shake well every day for :,
week, and then strain through a coarse
cloth; or the straining may be omitted.
and the liquid poured off as wanted for
usc. If Il mortar is at hand, instead OF
slicno. beat the leans to a coarse powder
with little Z" hart-crushcd'' white sugar
BY thus becoming ones own M nulact,t-
rer, the tOnka may be avoided and the lux
ury of the ge,uine vanilla favGr enjoyed

MESSRS. PERRY DAVIS 4 Son:
Feeling anxious to benefit my race, wish to make

BILE medicine. Pain Killer, - manifested In my

Mr.. BOutwelI,s Reductions.

The PRODUCTION of the public debit for
which we have been invoked to rise up
and call Mr.. Grant and Mr.. Boutwell,
blessed has always been a humbug and s;
delusion. as we have often had reason to
show But the manner in which the debt
has been recently reduced for elect
iOncering purposes purely is SO shame
fully fraudulent that it calls for special
exposure. 1t has been reduced Simply by
reducing the balance of money in the
Treasury below what even Mr.. Boutwell,
has heretofore considered the point of pru-
dence-as we proceed to prove by a COM
parison taken from the Treasury state
ments of the reductions and balances re-
spectively between the six months from
January to June inclusive and the two
months OF July and August:
Balance in the
Treasury after

Months ending Reduction certitcstes;

May 1, 1s12. l., 5ss, Oss. 81 1851, I5s 80
June i, Is72--..... Az 90 76, 46I, 5I5.Os
The lowest balance, therefore, which
Mr.. Boutwell, thought it wise to keep
the one in June-was SIG, 46l "a, 0S, and
he insisted on keeping it SO strendously
that in that month he only reduced the
debt four millions and odd. In February
1t was about the same. But as Mr.. Bout
We'll more and more mixed electlOneering
with his finance he threw overheard even
what he thought needful ballast, as wit
ness the following table:
Months end'g- Reduction. Balance:
August l, ls12. 81, AZ ,sS7. 1S S53 tG7 66i 20
September /, 1877. IL, 1856, 50 81, sss, 10
Even these figures do not tell the whole
story. For from the cash balance accord
ing TO Mr.. Boutwell's own statement
must be deducted the accrued interest due.
Deducting this leaves the Treasury on the
1st of September in possession of just
SIG. 03G .904.3. SOW let us ask Mr.. Bout
well. if it is wise to pay eleven millions of
debt by stripping the Treasury to bal
ance of twenty-six millions. why was it
not as wise to strip the Treasury as nearly
bare April, when to do so would have
enabled him to pay nineteen millions OF
debt. And if it was crazy impolicy to do
this in April. why is it wise policy to do
il in August?

We commend the attention Of the Port
land QuarTymen (who have been locked out
since the first of last December,) and to
their friends, now that arbitration has been
refused by the quarry owners to another
plan for the settlement Of the present diff
6culty.
1t may not be generally known, that
there is . spot on the Connecticut river,
about two miles above the present Portland
quarries, at Indian Hill, where q quarry
could be opened, equal in every respect, to
either of the old ones. The rock has been
thoroughly tested by the aid Of the diamond
drill, which was sunk to the depth Of more
than eighty feet, and revealed as handsome
specimens Of stone as can be produced by
the old quarries. 1t is true al the owners
and agents of the present monopoly in
Portland, have done all they could to dis
courage capitalists from investing in thiz
enterprise, by stating that they alone could
supply the market, and there was no need
of opening any new quarries at present, q,
none could compete with them Il they did
which only proves that they fear compe-
tition. Il has been stated that the old com.
panies have made dividends N high a. eigh-

The great State of Illinois, so rich in the
fertility of her praries, is scarcely less fa-
vored in the immense beds Of coal that un.
aerlie them. The peculiar feature that has
distinguished the prairie from her sister
States, the absence Of the fuel which their
nature forests supplied, would seem to have
been foreseen and provided for when these
vast deposits were stored away in the dim
ages of the carboniferoB period, for it is
claimed that in no other portion of the
country can coal be 20 easily obtained with
. moderate investment Of capital as in ILL
nOis. Coal is not only embodied heat, but
undeveloped force. Inasmuch az steam
stands alone AZ the motive power in use in
manufacturing and commercial enterprise
and as coal furnishes tic cheapest means of
generating steam, it follows that the State
IN which this fuel is the most accessible, in
the hands Of an enterprising population,
must soon and surely take prominence in
manufactures and trade.
The development by Illinois of this ele-
ment of her wealth is rapid. Already she
Is exporting large quantities Of coal to
neighboring sections, to which the admir-
able system of railroad and water commu-
nications gives cheap and ready access.
Especially is this the case in the rich coal
bearing part Of the State which lies in close
proximity to and betveen the important
cities of Rock Island and Peoria. This
section, in which largely productive coal
mines have been opened, although thickly
settled, fertile, and possessing q large and
growing manufacturing interest, has been
till quite recently comparatively insulated,
but ia now brought into direct communica-
tiOn with the great business centres of the
country by the completion of the Peoria
and Rock Island railway. This much
needed road has especial facilities for dis
tributing the immense stores of coal that
underhe its beds, as well as the other pro
duce of the region, as it connects the naviga-
BILE waters Of the Illinois and Mississippi
and forms a junction at each end with
roads that branch off in all directions. It
also forms, with the Indianapolis, Bloom
ington and Western and the Davenport
and st. Paul, the construction Of which
goes on rapidly, trunk line Of 575 miles
from Indianapolis TO st. Paul, and by
junction ut Rock Island with the Chicago,
Rock island and Pacific railroad, connects
at Omaha with the Union Pacific. The
spirit OF enterprise that IN thus developing
the various resources Of this State deserves
and must surely command success.
