For table use we only want the
strap leaved Red Top for early, and
Jersey Navet for later use, (this last
growing under ground, seems to en-
dure heat and drouth,) and The Rus
sian or White SWede for keeping over
winter. This is also a profitable
market variety where sufficiently
known.

ONIONS.

Onions are very sweet and nutri-
tious, and would be more generally
used but for their peculiar odor.
This objection can be largely over
come by using the new italian vsri-
eties recently introduced by Mr..
Wick. These require to be sown
quite early on good soil. Mr.. V. in
forms us the best way is to sow seeds
in slight hot bed and then trans
plant. They grow readily in this way
and bottom well, and the labor is no
greater than the old way, because
the amount of wedding required is
much less. These new varieties are
quite large, but not coarse, and OF very
mild fisvor-but not as good keepers
as our common varieties.

AMERICAN HUMORISTS IN ENGLAND.-Tho
London correspondent Of the Cincinnati Com
merciat remarks that Twain's presence there
is u proper text from which to make note Of
the excessive popularity Of the whole school Of
transatlantic humOrists among the English,
though his popularity does not include the gro
tesque effusions which commonly stand for hu-
NOR in American newspapers. Twain himself
must be amazed at the warmth Of his greeting
in London, and at the reprint of his books
covering the tables Of every private house he
enters. The fact is that the English at large
still read few American works save those out
side Of the line and scope of their own iitera-
tnre. Mark Twain, Hans Breitmann. Bret
Hartc and John Hay have made their names
nearly household words in England during the
past few years by making sort of essay in lit
erature which EDgishmen never thought of
attempting These names are popular here to
great extent because they have no rivals, and
rouse, therefore, 90. jealousy in the realm OF
letters. Bret Harte is known more rapidly
than Whittier because he represents an idiosyn-
cratic humor and pathos of mind without it's
English parallel-just as Lincoln was always
admired and popular in England rather than
Seward, Seward being an admitted statesman;
but all that sort of thing the English could do
better themselves, Or SD fancied: In the same
fashion the English affect to do regular litera-
ture better than even Emerson, or Lowell, or
Motley The old disdain. or ignorance, of New
World books has not departed yet from the
British mind. while it gracefully softens to ac-
cept our essays in the less ambitious walks Of
literature. Artemus Ward and Mark Twain
are the marked examples of this; and it is
proper TO be said that the former Of these art
lists of the humorous received no warmer an
English welcome than has been reserved to the
latter But everywhere and always the hu-
morris: is the happy favorite Of the literary
tribe; he arouses no envy, he puts every man at
ease with touch of nature, and penetrates
society like smile

IDAHO Cry, Dec. 90, 1872.

WHAT IS DrRTl-Old Dr. Cooper, of South
Carolina, used to say to his students: Don't
be afraid of dirt. young gentlemen. What is
dirt! Why, nothing at all offensive, when
chemically viewed. Rub little alkali upon
the dirty grease spot or your coat and it under
goes chemical change and becomes soap; now
rub it with a little water and it disappears. It
ia neither grease, soap, water nor dirt. That
is very odorous pile of dirt You sec yonder;
well, scatter little gypsum over it and it is no
longer dirty. Everything like dirt is worthy
our notice IA students OF chemistry. Analyze
it; it will separate into very clean elements.
Dirt makes corn, corn makes bread and meat.
and that makes very sweet young lady that
saw one of yon kissing last night. So after all.

4 CALIFORNIA Com CoLLECTOR.-The Vi
saa Delta has the following: 1t may not be
generally known that DIR. Charles Spicr, Of
this place, is the oldest living and most Success
!ul nuinismatist in the world He has been en-
gagged in the collection of coins for over fifty
seven years, and has now over $4,000 pieces,
representing every species of coin ever pro-
dnced in any year or under the dominion Of
any sovereign or government from the days Of
Semiranls and the Pharaohs down to the pres
eni time His collection is worth hundreds Of
thousands of dollars. He has over 10000 Ut
his pieces in the vaults of the Bank of CalifOr-
MIA. aud 1000 or over here. Al the Bank OF
California his collection is pronounced the best
and most valuable in existence, not excepting
those Of Queen Victoria and the Sultan OF Tur-
key, which are particularly extensive and val
uablr- 4 few days ago We examined the 4.UoO
of his pieces which be keeps here. They prov
ed most interesting study. Coins of the an
cient Jewish Kingdom of the various Kings,
Consuls and Enperors of Rome; of Tyre, ST.
don, Carthage, Nineyeh, Babylon, China, Pa
myra. Egypt, Japan, etc. with specimens OF
every years coinage in all Christian lands from
the tim. Of Constantine till now. were exhib-
tied in prodigal profusion. The Doctor has
many coins which would sell for many thou
sands of dollars each His collection has been
the work of a very extended lifetime. He has
travelled nearly all over the world, and is con-
stan,ly receiving new additions to bis pieces
from Europe and the East He has gold and
silver coins from the size Of a very large tea
cup down to that OF pea. We wish we had
the space to particularly describe some of them.
The Doctor, who is in easy circumstances aud
greatly advanced in years, though still robust
for one of his years, remains in Visalia on ac-
count OF the excellence Of the climate. His
collection is very interesting to any oneiappre-
ciating the mementoes of antiquity.

SINGULAR AND IMpRESsIvE.-1nt the Cold
en- Age Theodore Tilton relates the following
of his interview with Horace Greeley:
About three weeks ago Mr.. Greeley said to
us (clasping our hand and holding it for the
last time), my dear friend, for thirty days and
nights have not slept l shall never sleep
again; pray for DEATH" From that touching
interview we retired az if stunned by q pres
cience of the coming calamity; and on narrat-
ing the incident to a friend, we remarked, 1t
would not be strange il Mr.. Greeley did not
live three weeks" The prediction was all too
sadly verified. the crumblng column fell within
that time. We have no sympathy
with tatalism, aud yet we are free to say that
Mr. Greeey's destiny was on him and he could
not escape it. There were inward causes that
gnawed their way outward to this effect. he
had premonitions Of it not only few weeks,
but many months ago. During some idle hours
in Brooklyn, early in the campaign, ne SAID 70
us with voice Of sudden sadness and tone
Of unwonted pathos, II have but one great
ambition, aud TINT is not the Presidency. but
DEATH" Later in the summer, (or perhaps
earlier in the ialr, when some friends were
talking with him at merry supper.table, and
when one Of us gayly asked how he enjoyed
being praised BY one political party and damn
ed by the other, he simply answered that moth
inc would CRAFTY him 80 much 40 to receive
from some celestial messenger an authoritative
assurance that he muat die the next morning.
About tho middle Of October, in . Sunday eve-
ming conversation with him, the same premon-
itory meditations on death and immoftanty
broke forth from his lips.

Artificial Cons.

No other gems, says writer in Lppincott,
for June, has been counterfeited with such per-
fection as the emerald and. in fact, it is
utterly impossible to distinguish the artificial
form the real gems by the aid of the eye
alone; even the little flaws which lull the
suspicious of the inexperienced are easily
produced by the dexterous blow from the
mallet of the skilled artisan. Not only
emeralds, but most of the gems and precious
stones arenow initiated with such consum-
mate skilled as to deceive the eye, and none
but experts are aware of the extent to which
these fictitious gems are worn in fashionable
society, for often-times the wearers them
selves imagine that they possess the real
stones There is not one in hundred jeweA
ers who is acquainted with the physical
properties of the gems, and very few can
distinguish the diamond from the white zir-
con or the white topaz, the emerald from the
tourmaline of similar hue, the sapphire from
the iolite, or the topaz from the Bohemian
yellow quartz. jewelers. are governed
generally by sight, which they believe be to
infallible, while hardness and specific gravity
are the only sure tests. Artificial gems rival
ing in beauty of color the most brilliant and
delicately tinted Of the productions of nature
are now made at Paris and other European
cities. The establishments at Septmoncel
in the Jura alone employ thousand persons,
and fabulous quantities of the glittering
pastes are made there and sent to all parts of
the world. .7- ...- -.

The New York Times of May 30 says:
Professor Wise is again proposing to cross
the Atlantic ina balloon, and promises to
start from Boston Common on the 4th of
July, if the authorities of that city will aid
him in his preparations to the amount of $3.-
600. An order to that effect has been passed
by one branch of the city government, and
there is possibility that the long entertained
theory of aeronauts of constant air currents
from west to east will soon be put to the test
of practical experiment. Professor Wise is
willing to risk his life in support of bis
theory, and is confident of his ability to cross
the ocean in sixty hours, and he is not alone
in his opinion, as may scientists consider,
the enterprise perfectly feasible. Thus far
ballooning has been of no practial use to the
world, and we cannot see that it it will be of
much value, even if it is demonstrated that
there are constant easterly currents at an ele
vation which can be reached and maintained.
Still; if Boston is willing to pay for the ex-
pertinent, and the aeronauts are anxious to
risk::their lives in the enterprise we do not see
that any one else should object.
