New York, March 8.-The Trib-
une's Washington correspondent
sends lengthy interview with Sen
ator johnson. who said:
81 can give no pledge Of my fu-
ture course. 1 cannot say that
will act with one party or with the
other. We have too much Of party,
and 1 propose to bind myself in adj
vance to no theory of party policy.

I do not intend to do so in the fu-
ture. shall support such measures
as appear in my judgment best for
the country, caring not whether it is
Democratic measure. or whether it is
supported by Republicans. L will
never place myself in a position
where I must do a thing because it
is a party measure, or oppose any
thing at party's dIctation. Iplace
country above party"
johnson could not say whether he
would participate in the debate on
the Pinchback resolution.
Being asked whether he would not
in his new position have opportunity
to pay off some old scores, and
whether he did not have a mass of
facts against the leaders or the par
ties of to-day, he said
Whatever may have, I do not
say; but I shall use nothing. My
service in the Senate will not be a
personal one. l do not represent
myself. but Tennessee. The eoun-
try has now nothing to with my per-
sonal matters. and with what has

CHOKED CATTLE.

During the past winter we have fed
our COWS and young cattle many bushels
of apples, and during the time have had
several cases of choking in the herd. One
cow, in particular. required close watch.
ing as she quite frequently got IA apple
lodged in her throat while eating. In.
stead of attempting to punch the apple
down, at such times our first move was
to turn her loose and make her move
about the yard few minutes. This
alone was generally sufficient to cause
the apple to move either up or down, but,
if not, a tablespoonful of soft soap was
dissolved in quart of warm water, and
with some person to hold her head, lit
tie of the suds was poured down her
throat, followed by gentle hand rubbing
on the outside of the neck near the seat
of the trouble. Sometimes two or three
doses would be required, but generally
one was sufficient. We recommend soan.
suds as fully equal to sweet oil or other
more expensive preparations, while it is
always easy to procure at short notice.
If one is feeding roots, apples or potatoes
to stock, he should keep little watch of
the animals while eating and attend to
any case of choking Immediately: for if
let alone but for short time, the parts
become infamed and the removal Of the
obstruction becomes much more difficnlt

In the Nicober Island, which Is covered
with forests Of coc0a-nuts, the natives
not only build their vessels, make their
sails and cordage and supply them with
provisions, bu: provide cargo of arrack,
oil, juggre or balm sugar, cocoa-nuts,
coir, cordage and other articles, entirely
from this tree.
Many of the trees are not allowed to
hear fruit, but the bud from which the
blossom and fruit would spring is tied
tightly ur to prevent it's further growth,
and an incisicn being made at the end,
the sap oozes out, and being carefully col.
lected, forms when fresh cool PLEASANT

Then there is the banana and plantain,
for they are but different varieties of the
same tree. This attains a height of eight
or nine feet, and has broad leaves some
four or five feet in length, growing direct
rom the main stem.
The banana is to native Of the Fast
what the potato is to an Irishman. 1t is
very easy of cultivation, being planted
from shoots and bearing fruit the first
year. No other plant will yield so much
food with so little outlay of labor; a
single tree will often yield three crops in
the year, of seventy-five pounds each.
The flavor of this fruit has been aptly
compared to sweetened cream, and makes
an excellent and nutritious food, both
when eaten naturally and when cooked.
1t is singular and interesting fact that
in these tropical regions, where the ex.
cesssive heat renders labor so burthen.
some and exhaustive, man is supplied
with food almost without the need of
working. Where bananas grow, people
need not be afraid of starving even if they
do not work.
The custard apple is very pretty tree
and so called because the pulp Of the
fruit, both in olor and taste, resembles
a boiled custard. The ebony tree, from

AMERICAN MINING METHODS.
One of the Comstock mining engineers
lately returned from tour of inspection
through the mining districts of Germany.
communicates to California daily his
conviction that there is no engineering in
Germany to compare with that on the
Comstock lode, and no mines in which
the mechanical appliances are so in
genious and effective. He supports
this assertion by a graphic
description Of the crude and primitive
methods in vogue abroad. He remarks
that the deep mines of Bohemia, the
hosting apparatus consisted merely of
open tubs, and the operating machinery
was so poorly constructed that he dared
not venture to descend. In most of the
German mines he found that the men
were compelled to walk up or down to
the scene of their labors, either bv
going down an incline or by
using long parallel stills, which move up
and down alternately about six feet at a
time. The mode of ascending and de-
scending on these is to step from one to
the other, as each ascends or descends.
where misstep would be attended with
fatal consequences. His remark that
in the Comstock the men went
down to the lowest levels and
came up in two minutes without the
slightest exertion. was received politely
but incredulously. The character Of
the mining tools is criticised in the same
uncomplimentary strain, and the asser.
ton is made that an average days work
upon the Comstock would seem incredi.
bic to the miners Of continental Europe.

1t was the second time he had &C com-
panied the young lady home from one of
those little social parties which are gotten
up to bring fond hearts step nearer to
each other.
When they reached the gate she asked
him if he wouldn't come in. He said he
would, and he followed her into the house.

him to sit down and she left the room to

He didn't know whether he liked Sarah
or not, and he hadn't dreamed of such a
thing as marriage.
''She has acknowledged to me that she
loves you," continued the mother, land
what is for her happiness is for mine.''
The young man gave two starts of
alarm this time, and he felt his cheeks
grow pale.

THE OLD HOMESTEAD,
BY H. H.

1t may be small and poor and lowly, yet
We love it always; memory may fill
Her chambers full and time and care may chill
Our hearts, yet stands the dear old homestead
set
In picture that we never can forget.
At sudden thought of it our eyes will fill;
When we are old, we journey to it still:
Though strangers live in it, our loving debt
We pay the same.
Think it is like this
That saints in Heaven, though no joy they miss,
look back upon the little planet earth.
And come, upon our bright and sunny days,
Swift winged angels, flying down to gaze
On this old homeatead, where they had their
