want to do, what climate will best suit
them, and when they move to make up
their minds to stay there. The best
time to move South is late in the fall
things do not look SO attractive then,
but one is less apt to be sick next sum :
mer, and also more apt to be satisfied
with a purchase than if made when the
attractive clothing of spring covers the
rough places. I think spring the best
time to go West, as, if not early enough
to put in a crop himself, the immigrant
may easily get work through the sum-
mer. 1t should be remembered that
good, working farmers and mechanics
are always in demand, that trading is
already overdone, and that no one wants
loafers anywhere.

A Corrupt Press.

Nothing is so demoralizing in its in
tiuence upon the community as q cor
rupt press-a press that will suffer the
love of money to influence it in giving
opinions Numerically opposed to what
it considers right. We are accustomed,
in this part of the country, to hear
much about subsidized newspapers; but
the practice is rare indeed to what it is
in many foreign countries, notably in
Austria. Though the Austrian press is
remarkable for its talent, and infinitely
better written and directed than all the
journals of northern Germany, it is very
corrupt, and recent disclosures have as
tonished even the very people who read
it. The majority of papers in the Aus
trian Empire are started by companies
on shares, just as lotteries are founded,
and only capital enough is paid to sup
port the new enterprise for o few
months. The rest comes from watering
the stock" from selling the leading arti-
cles regularly, and from a vigorous sys-
tenn of blackmailing. Circulation and
advertisements are not considered as at
The commercial value of the written
word-the opinion-is all that is thought
of. The editor of one of the principal
papers of Vienna has, in eight years.
with circulation of fifteen thousand
copies, accumulated a fortune of three
millions. Of course he has only done
this by selling his opinions in the frecst
manner. The director of any prominent
Austrian newspaper does not hesitate to
go to any new company, formed for pur-
poses Of speculation, and to offer them
its services for developing the scheme.
They are generally accepted, because I'M
less they are furious onslaught will be
commenced against the enterprise, and
the characters of none of the officers
will be safe. There is considerable free
dom of the press in Austria even for the
discussion of political matters, and the
editors have not the excuse that they
are driven to venial writing. Still,
newspaper editing is somewhat dan
gerous game. Trial by jury can at any
time be suspended in favor of the gov
ernment, and an offending editor may
be imprisoned for long time. Of course
the government does not often conde-
scend to extreme measures, but it has
all the power. There are about ninety
political daily journals in the Austro-
Hungarian Empire, and hardly one of
them is exempt from the charges of
bribery, corruption and vulgar insin-
cerity.

Uses of the COcOa-Nut.

1t would be no easy matter to enum-
crate all the useful services which the
cocoa nut, and the other parts of the
tree to which it belongs, render to man,
especially in the East. The kernel is
not eaten as we eat it, as fruit, but is
prepared in variety of ways for curries
and other dishes the milky juice is rel
ished as pleasant beverage; the oil is
used in making stearine candles and
marine soap, and, in tropical countries,
lamp-oil, ointment, and an aid to cook
cry the resin from the trunk, mixed
with the oil from the nut, and melted,
forms substance useful for filling up
the seams of ships and boats, covering
the corks of bottles, and repelling the
attacks of the white ant the root pos
sesses narcotic properties, and is some
times chewed like the areca-nut. The
terminal bud is esteemed a delicacy, al
though not easily obtainable without
cutting down the tree. The sap, or
today is a beverage, and is also fer
mented to produce palm-wine and ar
rack-spirit. The dried leaves are used
for thatch, and for making screens, mats,
baskets and a kind of plat while the
mid-rib of the leaf serves the natives as
an oar. The wood of the lower part of
the stem is very hard, takes beautiful
polish, and is known to our turner's and
ornamental joiners as porcupine wood /;
the fibrous centre of the older stems is
worked like coir into cordage and sim
liar articles. The husk of the ripe nut,
when cut across, is used for polishing
furniture and scrubbing floors. Within
the nut is occasionally found small
stony substance of blush white color,
worn by the Chinese as kind of amulet
or charm.-AU tile Year Round.

We may be permitted to add that, to

under the instruction of S. A. Griffin,
principal, and Miss Mary Pierce, pre-

weeks on Wednesday, Aug. 81, 1872
Three experienced teachers will cooper
ate as assistants with the principal and
preceptres and we venture to predict
for the coming term that commendable
degree of success which has character
lied the school hitherto, and we doubt
not the teachers will sustain their repu-

ready secured and now enjoy.
