pilgrimage.

There vas one incident connected
with the fcte at Chiselhurst which is
worth recalling. In the tent near the
spot occupied by the Prince was very
old woman dressed in antique costume,
and looking like peasant woman of
other days. As the Prince began to
read she was greatly moved. That's
so, my son. she cried; that's true,
Monseigneur, every word of 1t, Just
listen to them ~ And when the speech
ended she swung her bonnet and cried,
TiUe Z EmpereT Then she wanted to
kiss the Prince, and, when stopped, she
pushed every one aside, and said it was
her right. Let me 60" she said, Il
am Nine. Lebon, dean of the women of
les Halles." This was enough, and her
rights were Immediately recognized.
She kissed the Prince and embraced the
Empress, and was loudly applauded.
Mmc. LebOn is the Oldest huckSter of
the Central Markets, and the dOyenne of
the association. On the return of Ma
poleOn |. from Elba she was charged
with the presentation of the bouquet in
the midst Of the demoiselles OF the
al VIII
powerful corporation. To-day she is
the oldest living, and finds herself at
the head of fortune of two millions.
She owns three houses in the Rue de
Turbigo. She has always believed in
the star of the Napoleons, and called
her son Napoleon Lebon. After the
fall of the first Emperor she became
greatly interested in Napoleon I'LL, and
visited him several times when in exile.
When he died she put on mourning. 1t
WAS Nine. Lebon who organized the IA
nous ball of the Halles, after the 2d of
December. or the coup d'etM, for which
5000 invitations were issued. The En-
perOr did not come to the ball, but his
representative embraced her publicly on
entering, and took her hand to opeu the
dancing. On the birth of Napoleon
". she presented the traditional bou-
quet, and claimed the right of kissing
the child when baptized in May, 1856,
in the Church of Notre Dame, a cere-
mOny | saw, and that | shall never for
get. One can now understand the rea-
son Mime. Lebon was heartily embraced
when her name was heard. She said
that she hoped to present a bouquet to
a son of the Prince, but at any rate she
should not think of dying before she
had presented one with kiss on his
coronation.

A Partisan Novelty.

4 novelty has been introduced ct
Partisan dinner tables which We might
copy with advantage. This is to have
on the back of the menu short BIO
graphical notice of the persons who
compose the company. This is very
good idea, for there can be no one who
has NOT undergone the discomfort OF
saying the wrong thing to the wrong
person-laughing at ''the man with the
teeth" to his wife, and being exceed
ingly facetious about "the lady with
the shoulders" to her son. In the "Llfe
of Dickens" there are two instances OF
this-in one of which Dickens talked to
young lady whom he took down TO
dinner about the Bishop of Durham $
nepotism in the matter OF Mr.. Cheese,
and found out afterward that she was
Mrs. Cheese; in the other he expatlated
TO the member from Marylebone, Lord
Fernoy, generally conceiving him to be
an Irish member, on the contemplate
character of the Marylebone consti-
tuency and Marylebone representation.
Now, by the aid of the GEOGRAPHICALLY y
indorsed menu, any contretenlps OF this
kind would be avoided.

THE Chinese make candles out OF
trees. On what Is called the tallow
tree, growing in China, are little berries
yielding fatty substance much like
tsliow. With this they put the wax
which comes from the berries growing
on still another tree in great clusters
like grapes, and make beautiful car
dies. which are sent into all parts of the
world.
Another variety of wax comes to us
from China aud is the product of a little
white winged insect which deposits it
on the bark and branches OF trees. The
natives scrape off this coating, which
looks like frost, melt and strain it, and
send it to US in America for various
uses to the French for polishing the
bare floors so common in French house
holds, and to all Catholic countries in
great abundance, for the many candles
used in their churches and cathedrals.-

Medical Value Of Asparagus.

A medical correspondent Of an Eng
lish Journal says that the advantages
of asparagus are not sufficiently appre-
cisted by those who suffer with rheu-
matism and gout. Slight cases OF
rheumatism are cured in few days by
feeding on this delicious esculent and
more chronic cases are much relieved,
especially if the patient avoids all acids,
whether in food or beverage. The
Jerusalem artichoke has also a similar
effect in relieving rheumatism. The
heads may be eaten in the usual way,
but tea made from the leaves Of the
stalk, and drank three or four times g
day. is a certain remedy, though moi
equally agreeable,

How DID He TELL HIM.-In Charles
town, recently, large dog gave chase
to a poor little "black and tan" whose
hind leg had been injured, but, failing
to overtake him, turned about, and
trotted back. In short time the small
dog returned, followed by large New
foundland, who. upon reaching the
corner, seemed to be looking for some
thing" when the little dog gave -yo or
three sharp barks, as much as to say,
That's the dog" at the same time in
dicating by his actions the large black
dog, who was then at some distance.
Wbereupon the little dogs ally imme-
diateiy attacked and severely punished
the aggressor. After this little affair
tho small dog and his friend went down
the street apparently much pleased.
How did the small dog tell the big one ?

came under the notice of DR.. Greg 'ry,
a lady, consequent on an apople :tic
fit, lost her memory of names, but re-
tanned it for things. Although a gooi
housewife, she could only direct her
servants and tradespeople by pointing
to the things concerning which she
meant to speak. All went on we'll in
regard to the other words of the SEN
tence, but when she came TO the names
of things memory failed her, and she
could only convey her meaning by
pointing.-AU the Year Round.

The Frog Barometer.

In some countries frogs are used as
barometers the species employed for
this purpose is the green .ree frog.
They are placed in tall glass bottles
with little wooden ladders, to the top
of which they always climb in fine
weather, and descend at the approach
of bad weather. This is cheap and
highly interesting weather glass where
the green tree frog is to be procured in
its natural state.

If buds must be buds just so long in
order to make fit leaves and flowers and
fruit, so our tender buds, the children,
in order to make strong men and women,
ought too stay children just SO long,
and not "come out" before their proper
time. There is no advantage in trying
to be men and women too soon. 1t spoils
them for being true men and women at
all. We should not push children into
studies, duties, feelings, or enioymen.s
beyond their years. They must grow
to them. That is Gods way.

sprung from the strong desire felt that
this great enterprise should succeed. Adj
vances are to be made at once to the Plan
ters so that they can take advantage Of
the present spell of fair weather to clear
and burn new land for planting during
the next three months. We feel confident
that with energy and other adhesions
which may reasonably be counted upon,
the quantity of canes now contracted for

begins to work. In that case the supply
of raw material will be ample "and with
fair management the Company should de-

BARBADOS.

Some very good letters have lately APP
peared in the Vest Indian on Cane-cultiva-
ton in Barbados: "The annual sugar
crop of Barbados is obtained from an aver

OF land under canes every year, there are
$4,000 acres under preparation for the
crop of the ensuing year. The total
quantity of land under cane cultivation
Is therefore 10000 acres, nearly two-thirds
OF the surface, the remainder under pas

THE FOOD OF THE PEOPLE.

AT the British Association, in the sec
ton of Biology, Professor RedferD,I in the
course of a paper of q valuable character
on the food of plants and animals, went
on to point out that there were few social
problems more important than how to &C.
Quaint the wife of the labourer or artisan,
or even the wives and servants OF the
middle classes, how to eXpend a talr share
of their income upon food to the greatest
advantage and how to prepare it without
destroying its nutritive properties. A
savoury dish of meat was often prepared
by mincing or cutting the meat into small
and more or less cubical blocks. 1t was
then stewed, or more frequently boiled;
the outer surface of each little block had
its albumen firmly coagulated, and the
whole was converted into about as indi-
gestible a mass as could we'll be imagined,
the high-priced and highly nutritious meat
having been destroyed for the purposes
of nutrition, and the action of the diges-
tive organs probably injured for some time
to come or good and valuable flesh meat
was subjected to the process of sailing,
which first of all distracted the juices of
meat, and then hardened the fbres, SO as
to destroy or greatly deteriorate its deges-
tibility. No doubt it was convenient to
have a hardened dry mass of meat incapa-
BILE OF much change for months, and ready
to be used for the purpose of filling the
stomach and effectually satisfying the APP
petite but these were not the purposes
for which food was intended to be used.
It ought to be capable of supplying the
waste Of the body, and of being easily
converted into heat and motion. If it
failed in these particulars it would also
fail in nourishing the brain, and aiding in
the evolution of intelligence, and thus in-
tellectual and bodily power was lost to
the community, and deterioration OF race
was promoted. His colleague, DR.. Gordon,
said that he recollected running races, put
ting stones, wrestling, and other athletic
exercises being the favourite a%musements
of the sons and servants Of the farmers in
the county Down. Now nothing of the
sort was heard of. These young men
found a short days work almost too much
for them, and at the end of t they were to
be seen lying about indulging in idle con-
versation. Confidently with this they
imagined themselves the equals of their
masters and mistresses, and that the
healthful oatmeal porridge and buttermilk
twice daily, with beans and bacon for din
ner, was too strong and coarse they III
sisted on more delicate fare, and demanded
a supply of tea and white bread. They
were unconscious that persons in their po-
sition but a few years ago possessed amaz-
ing vigour, and performed twice the amount
of Iabour with greater ease, and when the
days work was over actually revelledein
display of surplus strength which nothing
but their better aud more rational diet
could have yielded them,

turage and provision crops, or occupied
with buildings, roads, ponds, watercourses,
and a slip of waste land exposed to the
sea blast all along the Windward and
Southern coast. OF the caneland, though
more or less impoverished by over crop
ping, some portions are equally productive
with any in the West Indies, and under
skilful cultivation, are capable of yielding
3 hhds. of sugar to the acre. A writ
er recommends a curtailment of the
breadth Of land under canes, in order to
grow a larger quantity OF fodder for cat
tie, aud to raise q larger quantity of farm
yard manure and to introduce the sys-
tenn of rotation crops, by which means
q larger average yield per acre might be
obtained, and the same quantity Of
sugar produced at less expense, by a con,
siderable reduction in the cost Of foreign
manure, and for food for cattle and
horses"
ANTIGUA.
From the last Antigua Times received
(25th. ult.) we clip the following
DURING the past fortnight the weather
has been extremely favorable to the
growth of the sugar Cane. Last week
there was a heavy fall of rain over the
whole island-the heaviest we have had
since September 1872. Over the Wind
ward districts as much as 10 inches is
reported to have fallen during this month.
In the City the total fall for September to
date, as recorded i at the Public Library was
7.48. 1t is stated that the Canes are at
present, Notwithstanding Eho recent pro-
tracted drought, in a more advanced stage
of growth than at this time last year,
and those capable Of Judging are of opinion
that the prospects of the coming crop
are very hopeful.
1t is commonly thought, though not
officially reported, that Mr.. ROBINSON
has declined to accept the appointment
of Governor of the Leeward Islands, and
that it has been offered to Mr.. BERKELEY,
the present Governor Of Western Africa.
This report was circulated after the arri-
val of the last packet from England and
founded on the statement of one of the
passengers. The official income of the
West Coast Governor is $4,000, that of
the Governor of the Leeward Islands is
60uUOJ III Is llcIelOlC IIOuSuG UIlaU MI.
BERKELEY would be unwilling to accept
a reduction of income, and one of the
most difficult of Colonial governments.
Dir. BERKELEY is not without West India
experience, having been for some time
lieutenant Governor of st. Vincent.
In the legislative assembly a Com
munication was read from the promo
ters Of q West India Company, about
to be formed in London, for the
purchase of waste lands in some Of
the West India Islands, for the purpose
of extending the cultivation of tropical
products, and the manufacture Of Sugar.
The object of the Communication, which
was addressed to the President of Dom
mica, one Of the islands of this colony,
seems to be to obtain reliable informa-
ton, aud otherwise to interest the local
governments in the undertaking. 1t is
to be hoped encouragement may be given
to the promoters of this very desirable
enterprise-the reclamation of abandon
ed sugar estates in the West Indies.

FREAK OF DISCARDED LovRR-The little
village of Climax, Michigan, has had a seRsa-
ton. A charming little druggist became enam
ored of rich widows daughter, and pressed
his attentions ardently and persistently upon
her, which she as earnestly repealed, and finally
be was driven from the house. But he even
then was not willing 10 give her up. He made
nightly visits 20 the yard and peered through
the windows where his fair duiciuea was sup
posed to be inDOcently repnsing in tbe arms of
morpheus or some other fellow. This trick was
soon found out, and he was expelled from the
ward il a Kramer that made him ravolve like a
dy wheel But not willing TO give up without
at least relic OF remembrance Of the fair one,
he visited the clothes line the night after wash
day and purloined q chemise and a pair OF
drawers belonging TO her, which he stuffed aud
hung up in his bedroom, making full effigisl
representation Of his adored by adding a stuffed
head and feet. 1t was found by officers who
were searching for the lost wearing apparel,
who, after showing the imitation mummy TO a
few friends near by, heartlessly disemboweled
il and carried home the stolen garments.
Though ridiculously strange, the above de-
scribed occurrence is substantially true.-Chi
