adorn the many tombs around which we

of warm and loving hearts. The adjoining
of the sepulchres of the Flowed ones" allie
viates our grief and soothes the wounded

that an additional establishment of the

We have not discharged the Office OF

There are other duties which we owe them

PIMENTO.

The pimento Of commerce, commonly
called allspice, from the fact that its flavor
partakes Of several spices-viz., cloves, Gina
mon and nutmegs-is product of South
America and the West India Islands, and
grows in great luxuriance in jamaica
The pimento trees, from which the all
spice berries are gathered, frequently at
tain the height of twenty-five to thirty
feet, and are. exceedingly beautiful in ap-
pearance, the foliage being luxuriaut ev-
ergreen. These trees do not bear every
year with the same luxuriance, an abund-
ant crop being averaged at intervals of
about five years. The berries, which owe
their aromatic properties to the presence of
a volatile oil, are gathered before they fully
mature, as, when perfectly ripe, they do
not possess the pungency of odor and taste
for which they are valuable as eondiment.
When picked they are exposed to the ac-
tion of gentle heat, and great caution is ex-
ercised in their preparation for the market.
The commercial value Of pimento is esti-
mated by millions of dollars, and conse-
quently vast amount Of labor and care is
bestowed upon its production.

tB- An Ohio paper tells about bride
groom who placed the wedding-ring in his
mouth during the first part of the cere-
mony, SO that no could have it at hand
at the proper moment tHe mumbled
along through the service all right until the
clergyman asked for the ring, and then he
became SO nervous that he swallowed it
OF course the ceremony had to be stopped
short. The groOmsmen then dragged the
young man out into the entry and held him
up by the heels and shook him, and rolled
him over barrel, and gave him gallon
warm water and mustard, and tried to fish
the ring out with a bent pin tied to u piece
of twine. But it wouldn't come. The
brides brother suggested sending little
boy down inside with lantern but he was
spanked and put to bed. At last one of
the groomsmen went out and borrowed a
stomach pump, and it was manned by all
hands and worked with such energy that
the ring finally appeared. But the groom
seemed sick and hungry all through the
rest of the ceremony. He says if lie ever
marries again, and undertakes to carry the
ring in his mouth, he will tie poker or
something to the jewel and let the string
hang out of his mouth. Things Of this
kind are discouraging.

ecuted according to sentence, and died
with apparent penitence.
Were it not for the culprit's aoknowledg-
ment Of his guilt we should regard it as
perhaps an open question whether the one
or two-legged Martin was the genuine hus-
band of Berthande. If she pronounced two
judgments she was as likely to be mistaken
in the second as in the first, while the rad
ical change of mind on the part Of other
witnesses renders their infallibility equally
suspicious. The lesson of the whole story
is that it requires wise son to know his
own father; wisdom is also essential to
other recognitions of relationship.

No Doubt It is True.

A FACETlOUS writer says: called
IN OIL one of the inhabitants of Elmira,
who keeps corner blue and red light cas-
tor oil shop. was trying to get him to
give me bigger lot of peppermint for
cent, when in rushed fellow who called
for pound of camphor and downed with
the whole of it. 1t was surprise party to
me, and ! said, "What did he do that
for ?"
"Why," said drugs, "he is lined"
"Lined." says l, "what is that ?"
Then he told me story of mock turtle
soup.
"Some years ago." he said, "a gentle
man who was about to give dinner party,
spent whole week showing his servant
how to make mock turtle soup. When the
day came she made the mock, and the tur-
tie and the soup all right, and just as she
was about to pour in a bottle of claret, a
little boy entered singing Everything is
lovely and the goose hangs high" which
distracted her attention, and she made
mistake and poured in a whole bottle of
hair tonic"
"Did it make hair SOUP" said very
meekly.
! "Alas," said he, "the results were sad. "
"What were the results?" said !.
"Ah," said he, "two went to the church
yard, four to the hospital, and all who did
not die were called the survivors, and that
fellow you just saw was one of them"
"What does he swallow so much cam
phor for?' says l.
"Well," he said, "that tonic started the
hair growing down his throat, and he took
the camphor to keep the moths out"
told that fellow there was more lie in
him than there was in q bar Of soap, and
left.

The Strange Story of Martin
Guerre.

A BOUT the middle of the sixteenth
IN century, Martin Guerrc, young
Biscayan, married Berthande do Rolls, q
girl Of Antiques, as distinguished for good
sense as for beauty. The newly-united pair
were in comfortable circumstances, being
in social rank above the peasant class.
They were harmonious couple, the only
drawback being that they had no children
for several years. In the tenth year, how
ever, a son was born, whom they named
Sanxi. Not long afterward Martin quar-
relied with his father about some corn, and
the dispute became 30 bitter that he con-
cluded to 60 away for time until the pa
ternal anger should cool. He did not ex-
pect to be absent long, but eight years had
passed away before he was heard of, his
wife enduring his absence with exemplary
patience.
At the expiration of the aforementioned
period a person appeared who claimed to
be Martin Guerre, and was recognized az
such by his wife, her relatives, and by the
people generally. His protracted desertion
Of his family was forgotten and forgiven,
and everything went on harmoniously for
three years, during which two children
were born to Berthande, one of them,
however, dying soon after its BIRTH The
so-called Martin managed his affairs ener-
getically, selling land and doing other bus
mess which fell in his way.
After while, from reasons that are not
fully set forth, Peter Guerre, an uncle of
Martin, became satisfied that the man was
not Martin. Other residents of the vicinity
came to the same conclusion, and at length
found ground for convincing Berthande
that she had been shamefully imposed
upon. The so-called Martin was arrested
and taken before the provincial judge. He
denounced his accusers as wicked conspira-
tors, saying that Peter Guerre had fabrica-
ted the charge to get possession of his
property, and had drawn in Berthande
through the weakness Of her understanding.
| He gave a clear and circumstantial account
of the reasons which LED him to go away
and prolong his absence. He asserted
that he had been in the French and Span
ish armies during the period, and showed
that, notwithstanding the changes that in
creased age and exposure to the weather
had made in his appearance, he was at once
recognized by his wife, Peter and other
people who had known him. He related
minutely the circumstances Of Martin
Guerre marriage; described his father.in-
law, mother-in-law, and the guests at the
nuptials, and narrated other incidents in
his life.
Berthande being called to the stand, cor
roborated everything to which he had ties.
tifed She mentioned one circumstance
that.h happened to Martin of which the
witness had made 10 mention. This was
his supposed suffering from witchcraft
The accused, being questioned, made re-
plies which agreed exactly with the wo
mans statements. And thus apparently
demonstrated his identity with Martin
He therefore demanded that she should be
tried for perjury. An investigation, how
ever, showed that she was thoroughly al
honest woman. 8af aIfn

disliked, and one day his mother was trying

THE COUNTY CONVENTION On Tuesday last
in accordance with previous notice, delegates
from the several districts in this county assem-
bled in the Courthouse, the number 10 which
each district WIS entitled icing twenty Eve,
where vacancies occurred these were supplied
BY the delegates from each district who had
authority so to do. The Convention was call
cd to order by &. W. OWEN, Esq, who briefly
stated its object, and then on motion, GREEN
BURY NJ. WATKINS, was chosen Chairman.
1.-THE proceedings are published in another
column. The personnel Of the Convention
was good-a body of fine looking intelligent
gentlemen, who had come to counsel with each
other and have their State represented in the
Democratic Convention which is TO assemble
in Baltimore on the 10th instant. These gem
temen came to do business aud they did it we'll.
The utmost harmony and good humor pre-
vailed, as these old-mshioned Montgomery
County Democrats proceeded with their work
in the od-f,lshioncd way. The Chairman,
GREEYBuRY NJ. WATKINS, presided with dignity
and strict impartaity and seemed familiar
with parliamentary rule. On taking his seat,
the Chairman made n few well-tmed and APP
propriate remarks, stating that the Conven-
ton had been called together upon momen-
sous OCCASION that of aiding in the effort of
bringing back the government from military
TO civil rule-that unaided the democracy
could not accomplish it, and therefore he
would abide the action Of the National Con-
vention.
Nominations being next il order, the fol-
lowing gentlemen were put in nomination
George Peter, Col. Washington Bowie, VIM.
Brewer, Raymond W Burche, Dr., n. Brewer,
and II, W. Talbot, Esqs. and after ballot had
the four first named gentlemen were declared
duly elected delegates to the Democratic State
Convention.
Loud calls were then made for Peter, but as
we have not the space we cannot give even an
outline Of bis remarks and the gentlemen who
succeeded him, let it suffice TO say that each
one of the delegates elect addressed the Con-
vention in an earnest and eloquent manner,
thanking the members for tie honor conferred
upon them and expressing their determination
TO represent as best they knew, the wishes of
the democrats of Montgomery county. For
themselves, though prelerring TO support n
democrat for the Presidency, but as that could
not be, they would bow to the decision of the
baltimore Convention.
Hon. Montgomery Bla. being present, was
then called upon, and spoke in the same line
of argument. His remarks were well received
After the usual formali,ies the Convention
then adjourned.
