The speaker went on to recount the his
tory Of Columbus and the fundamental
principles which led him to believe that
. continent existed in the west far across
the heaving pillows Of The Atlantic
ocean. The different periods in the ca.
reer Of Columbus we're clearly and
sharply stated by the orator. Mr.. Mon
tedonico bad delved deep into historic
lere and delivered a most interesting and
classical speech, one worthy Of the occa-
sion aud his own scholarly attachments.
Az the conclusion he was vociierously
applauded by all present.
Wine flowed freely, and the blood Of
the vine warmed up the blood of the
heart which brought out many gentle
men into oratorical display. Elegant
speeches we're made by Congressman
H. Casey Young, Capt. J. Harvey Matbes,
Il. B. Vsccaro, ST., and other gentlemen.
At a late hour the banquet ended with
the toast" Long live the memory Of
Christopher Columbus, the great Italian
navigator"
The Italian Society deserve credit for
the elegant entertainment given 10 honor
of their illustrious countryman, and
next year we hope to be able to record
the fact hat the anniversary will be
celebrated by all classes of citizens
throughout the length and breadth Of
this land Of liberty.

ner, no early and late paintings being
made to prolong the season; and we regret
to add that many well-to-do farmers depend
upon their field varieties for a supply,
never seeking anything better for them
selves or families than what is fed to their
cattle. Of course there can be no reason
able excuse given for not planting sweet
corn for table use, as it will thrive wher-
ever the common field sorts succeed. Early
cabbages and caulifowers are easily grown
from plants raised in the fall and pro-
tected in frames during winter, and late
sorts from plants raised from seed sown
in spring. The principal point is to adopt
system with a specified number of kinds
and then follow it rigidly from year to
year.
Many farmer not only neglects to pro-
vide good vegetables for his household,
but the few that are raised will be found
scattered ever hundred-acre farm. The
peas will be sown in some lot a half
mile from the house, and the corn in an
other lot perhaps in an opposite direction !;
hence the gathering of enough vegetables
for dinner requires miles of useless travel.
We have frequently seen just such dis
tribution of garden vegetables, when all
might as easily have been grown within a
few rods of the kitchen.-N. 7. San.

A Matrimonial Lottery.

Miss de Vergas, says a Calcutta paper,
wishes to be married-nothing very ex-
traordinary in that-but the manner in
which she proposes to accomplish her de-
sign is curious. Dona Pepa de Vergas
offers herself as the prize of lottery for
the sum of one lac of 100,0 900 rupees, upon
the following conditions: % $4,000 tickets
at five rupees each. (2) The takers of tick
cts are simply to send in their names-the
amount of their subscription to be col
lected when the sum mentioned has been
subscribed for 81 The lottery to take
place at date to be hereafter announced
at the Town Hall, Calcutta, and to be
drawn and conducted by Miss de Vergas.
az The owner of the winning number will
have the option of one of the following
choices (a) To marry Miss de Vergas,
and share with heron the principal of
community of goods-her fortune of one
lac of'rupees. (b) Or, in the case of re-
fusing the marriage, the sum of 80, 900 ru-
pees will be paid to him, Miss de Vergas
retaining for herself $4,000 rupees. 90
Miss de Vergas reserves to herself the
right of refusing to marry the owner of the
winning number should he prove to be a
person she would not care to espouse. In
that case the winner will be paid the sum
of $4,000 rupees. She is a young lady of
birth, of noble family, we'll educated-she
speaks Spanish, French, and a little En-
glish--clever, and a brilliant beauty.

Packed For the Other World.

A defunct Celestial was yesterday packed
AMI ticketed through to China heaven by
Mr.. Wilson, the undertaken. The re-
ceptacle for the body was a costly casket,
for that pendant pigtail had swung from
"way-up'' head during life. Around the
body was packed an abundance of little
pieces Of paper, all spotted with gold, such
as are seen scattered along the way when
the defunct Mongolians are carried to the
grave. These pretties are very glittering
and easily blown about by the wind, and
are to attract the attention of the Chinese
devils and give the deceased an oppor-
tunity to escape while his tormentors are
in pursuit of them. The remaining empti-
ness of the casket was filled with pork,
rice, chickens, candies, ETC., upon which
the dear departed is expected to feed while
journeying to the unknown. He was also
abundantly supplied with Chinese coins
with which to defray the expenses of the
journey. In his mouth was placed
United States ten-cent piece to show that
he came from land of civilization and
as a passport to better seats and society
over there. Lastly he had a fan placed III
his hand with which to cool his heated
brow and as a badge of high rank in the
land OF his earthly nativity. With all this
preparation he is expected to make rapid
and safe journey to the Land of the
