Az usual on Saturday, counter business ut the

mains dull, and very tar below the supply, An
unusual number OF casca are known in which
merchants are discounting thoir own paper to
save interest. Real estate loan agents report
that the demand for loans has largely decreased,
but still that interest is better paid than ever
before. This fact tallies with the othor Bymp-

seasonabIe Food.

Tho wholesomeness Of food depends
nearly as much on the time 1t Is taken as
on the quantity. Wehave grown so luxu.
rlouS in our physical as well as mental
tastes, that VIC are constantly tempted to
eat things out Of season. Yielding to the
temptation. as we often do, we pay the
penalty, soon or late, in temporary or
chronic arrangement OF our health. The
meat which is excellent 10 cold, may not
be desirable In warm weather; fsh Is best
during spring and early summer; vegeta-
bles and fruit are nutritious when they
are fully npened by sun and season, and
not artihcially stimulated. Nature knows
what she Is doing; she furnishes for every
latitude the productions fittest for such
latitude. We need variety, not so much
at one time, as from time to time. The
delicacies Of the season will not hurt US;
but the delicacies out Of season certainly
will u long continued. The appetite so
jAded as TO crave oysters in July, or straw.
berries In December, needs careful correc.
tion by the adoption OF the simplest habits.
The palate naturally rellshes what Nature
has near OF hand. ASS rule, not only is
the simplest food the best food, but the
most seasonable is. in the long run, the
most appetizing. There Is no difficulty In
determining what we should eat, since the
products Of our climate show us plainly
month BY month, Fish, flesh and fruit,
by their plumpness, tenderness and ripe
ness, themselves denote when they are
ready to be eaten. A sound stomach will
profit by whatever an unspoiled palate
epjoys.-Seri5ner'S.

From Kine,Ion. JamaIca.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, May eO-Le,ters
give the particulars OF the reception Of
the Second West India regiment on their
return from the Ashantee war. The
troops landed on the afternoon Of the 18Th
amid salutes Of artillery and the general
acclamation OF tho citizens, oil whom
there could not have been less than 20,-
900 out Of doors. The city was gatIy
decorated, especially the streets forming
the lines Of march 10 the Iace course,
where the Municipal address was pre-
scnted. There were two triumphal arches.
Under these the heroes passed, amid the
waving Of handkerchieis and the repeat
ed cheers Of all classes Of the Inhabitants.
On arriving at the parade ground the
troops were received by the commandant
Of the station with his staff and guard Of
honor composed Of companies Of white
troops. On the 25th the returning regi-
ment, officers and men, were entertained
al a banquet given by the citizens. AN
this honor the writer says was accorded
not simply as a recognition Of the great
services rendered BY the Second West
India, but as q demonstration Of dissp-
pointmcnt felt at the studied neglect
with which the West India regiments
were treated BY Gen, Woolsley In his
speeches and dispatches. -
