4 Brave Man.

Whatever else may be said about Capt.
Fry, the commanding officer of the i'll
fatcd NirginiUs, it must be admitted
that he met his fate ut the hands of the
Spanish butchers like brave hearted
gentleman. His demeanor under the
circumstances shows that the DAYS of
knightly gailantry are not yet entirely
passed away. In his last statements he
has no regrets for his own fate, and
wastes no time in appealing for mercy
for himself. Upon this point he only
says
1.-The Consul knows well that am not
pleading for my own life. | have not
prayed to God for it, nor even to the
Blessed Mother. [ have neither home
nor country,-n victim of war and per-
secution, the avenues to the securing of
property being closed to me to such Il
point that | have not been able to pro-
vide bread for my wife and seven
children, who know what it is to suffer
for the neccssarics of life. My life is
one of suffering, and | look upon what
has happened to me us a benefit of God,
and it is not for me, therefore, to ask
favors Of any one"
Utterly ignoring himself, his only
solicitude is for his crew, who have been
guilty Of no ottcrse except of working
fol him in navigating his vessel, and
begs that his blood may be sufficient for
those who had no knowledge of the
crime charged upon them. With any
others less brutal than the Spanish
butchers, his appeal would have had in
tluence. In his own words, they would
at least have identified the victims whom
they were about to sacrifice But they
We're shot, and he also. Whether he
were guilty of a crime ornot, he at least
died like brave man and gentleman,
without a single murmur pleading with
his last words for the lives of others,
and commanding his soul to God. Such
instances of chivalric bravery and dis
interestcdness are too rare nowadays to

The November statistical report of
the Department of Agriculture makes
the showing Of the corn product quite
as 1lnfavorable as that which forecasted
the short crop of 1869. The preliminary
report of the aggregate quantity in that
year indicated total of S74 900, 600
bushels, which was DE, 900, 600 less than
the estimate for the large crop of 1870,
and the present returns points to II pro
duct of SIS, 600, 600. The estimate of
last y ears crop in Illinois was 217, U00,-
600 bushels estimate of the present
crop, 1872, 900, 900 bushels. In only six
States are the crops equal to last year,
viz: Virginia, Georgia, Florida, West
Virginia, Oregon and Rhode Island.
The percentage of deficiency in the
principal corn growing sections, in COM
parison with the total product last year.
is as follows: Kentucky, 4 per cent. );
Ohio, Il Indiana, - Illinois, 80 :;
Iowa, 2S; Missouri, 30; Kansas, 81.
The deficiency for New York is s per
cent; Pennsylvania, Is. In most of
the Southern States the crop is smaller
than that of last year.
The cotton reports of November, I'M
like those OF the comparative condition
earlier III the season, make exact esti-
mates of the expected crop in each
county, stated in the form of percent
age of last years crop. The aggregate
of these estimates varies little from
3, 700, eco bales. The season for pick
ing has been unusually fine thus far,
yet the result may be modified by an
exceptionally unfayorable season III the
latter part of November, and in Deem
Der, or by storm affecting iniuriously
the saving of the top crop. The State
percentages i'll comparison with last
year are calculated as follows: North
Carolina, 9S; South Carolina, 81 !;
Georgia, 81; Florida, 81 Alabama, 81 ;
Mississippi, 50; Louisiana, so !;
Texas, 1l2; Arkansas, 1902; Tennessee,
l02 per cent. These figures would be
much lower but for the increased area
planted. The estimated total area in
round numbers is $500, 900 acres.

The Highest and the Lowest Lakes IN
the World,

In the mountains of Bclvar, between
Tuskestan and the far western limits of
the Empire of China, toss the pure,
sweet waters of the long and narrow
Lake of Sir-ikol, 10, 600 feet above the
level of the sea. If this lake were in Il
colder part of the world it would be
but sheet of ice, for it is nearly us
high as the top of Mt. Blanc.
In the southern part of Palestine,
near to the Syrian desert, sleeps the
sullen, dark, and vaporous water to
which men have given the name of the
Dead Sea. Lying as it does at the bot
tom of a bowl formed by the rapid de
scent of the surrounding hills, the Dead
Sea is the lowest water on the globe,
$4,000 feet below the level of the Med
lterranean.
The Lake Of Sir-i-kol might by contrast
be called the Lake of Life, for it flows
from the rapid, life giving Amoo river,
anciently called the Oxus while into
the deep and bitter basin Of the Dead
Sea sinks and perishes the once bright
and Joyous river Jordan.

The Most Nutritious Food.

Upon this subject a writer in the
Philadelphia star says:
L submit the following article on food
hoping it may do little good to the
poor class in these pinching times
Oatmeal contains 81 per cent. of uutri-
tive matter; wheat, So per cent. po-
tatoes, % per cent. the best flesh meat,
% per cent. 1t may be seen by the
above that one pound of oatmeal con-
tains nearly four times rs much nutri-
ton as one pound of beef. We pay for
beef per pound fifteen, twenty and
twenty-five cents; for one pound of
oatmeal we pay five cents.
Nearly half the people of Ireland and
Scotland live on oatmeal and potatoes
they do not taste flesh meat once a
month. The writer of this article has
not eaten flesh for year; he finds him
self better physically as we'll as men,
tally. His dinner for one day consists
of one cents worth of oaten meal or
cracked wheat made in the form of
mush. He docs not do this for econo-
my but for health
| would like to say few words before
| close this article on wheat. Wheat
contains of the carbonates, or heat and
fat and fat producers, siXty-tw per
cent; of the phosphates, the class that
supplies the bones, the brain and the
nerves, andgives vital power, both mental
and muscular, two and Il half per cent
of the nitrates, the class that supplies
the waste of muscle, twenty-one pei
cent.
If wheat We're eaten i'll its natural
condition, without boiling, it would
supply all the needed clements in the
human body; but in the process OF
boiling nearly the whole of the phos-
pilates and nitratcs are removed SO
that bread made of supertine flour will
sustain life only few weeks.
The best way to get good wheat meal
is to buy of any mill in our city half a
bushel of whole wheat, thirty pounds.
Either get the miller to grind it fol
you, or take it home and grind it in YOU
coffee mills.

The Emperor of Abyssinia, formerly
Prince OF Tigre, but now rejoicing in
the title OF Johann H., though profess
ing to bea Christian and a progressive
ruler, is truly an embodiment of bar
barity. An English traveller states that
he recently captured Abba kassai, a
pretender to the throne, filed his ears
with gun cotton, which he caused to be
exploded, blowing his head to atoms.
The same person states that he caused
the right hands and left legs of twenty
seven captives to be Topped off i'll his
imperial presence and then he had them
taken out into the forest and abandoned
to be preyed upon by the lions, tigers
and panthers. Most travellers i'll Africa
bear testimony to the fact that the rulers
of African tribes have become blood
thirsty and cruel since the prohibition
Of the slave trade. Before that time,
captives taken in war, or persons con-
victed of crimes against the ruler knew
no worse fate than being sold into
slavery. Now they are scourged, or put
to death i'll the most cruel forms. GU
pidity is characteristic of the negro
ruler. While he could realize price
for his prisoner he was satisfied. He
does not lcok with favor on imprison-
ment, as it is costly to support men i'll
captivity. As he cannot sell his cap
tives, and will not imprison them, he
puts them out OF the way.

Trce.Culture for PrOflt-The Larcl.

To show the profit attending the cul
tiyation of the larch tree, in forests, the
following extract from an essay read
before the Northern Horticultural So
cietv, at its session IN Freeport, Ill. by
W. E. Lukens, is of interest, and may
perhaps open the eyes of the Western
farmer to an industry more remunera-
tive than that of raising corn at thirty
cents per bushel. After saying the
larch should be planted four feet apart
each way, and may be procured at
cost of from IS to $l5 per thousand, Mr..
Lukens adds:
"Any one who takes the pains will
readily see that the expenses of fifty
acres Of larch for the first ten years, in
Guiding interest on land worth $50 per
acre, cost of plants, preparing the
ground, planting, and cultivating two
or three years, with ten per cent com
pound interest on each investment, will
amount to about $1,000. At that time
three fourths of the trees should be
thinncd ont, leaving them eight feet
apart. These, if worth fifteen cents
each, will amount to over Sl5, 1000, or a
clear profit of $4,000. If this sum is
kept at compound interest for twenty
years it will amount to S5S, 564, sup
posing it to double i'll every eight years.
But ut twenty we may cIt three-fourths
of the balance, or 2J,3l2 trees, worth at
that time mt least 81 each, or $50, 624.
This ut compound interest for ten years
will amount to about Sl22, 800. We
then have left s, 437 trees 30 years old,
worth not less than SO per tree, or
$S4, 37o-an aggregate profit of 500, O6i
III thirty years from fifty acres of land.
:" But if you plant corn every year on
fifty acres, allow il to produce forty
bushels per acre, and sell it at 80 cents
per bushel, allow interest on the net
profit each year at compound rate for
the same time, or thirty years from first
planting, you will not get it higher than
$50, 900 or $4,000. Thus we find the
trees will yield profit of $l95, 054 more
than the corn crop at 80 cents bushel.
" 1t will be seen that i'll this calcutta
| ton the trees ut ten years are put at 10
cents each, while the probability is that
they will be worth nearer Is cents. But
if each tree will make three cuts five
| feet long, Il good fence can be made
by inserting them one foot into the
ground, nine inches apart, and mailing
another on the top to keep them steady.
1t would require eight of these poles to
make a rod of fence, which at - cents
each would only be &l.20 Il rod. All
can see that this is Il very low estimate
of the value of such poles as they will
be at that age

The SineWS of War,

The Treasury of the War Depart
ment of the German Empire, by re-
cent order, is to have on hand, Mt all
times, $40, 100000 in coined gold. This
sum is to be kept in the Julius Tower of
the Citadel of Spandau, considered to
be the safest place for the boarding of
so large treasure. The doors of the
tower and of the inner vaults are all Sc
cured with double locks, the key to the
one being in the hands of one official,
and the key to the other i'll those of Il
supervisor. The tower is constantly
guarded by a detachment of troops, and
the commander of the fortress of Span
dau is instructed to report every event
that might threaten the safety of the
tower to the Minister of War, who re-
ports to the Chancellor. Nothing can
be deposited in or drawn from the
treasury without an order from the
Chancellor
