, And why Not Peaches 2

The following sketch of the introduction
Of foreign grapes into England is apropa
to our peach expectation scheme: i.
Until the year lS47 fereign grapes wert
brought into England in small quantities
chiefly from Portugal, and the retail price
ranged from fifty to seventy-fve cents pc,
pound. The English grapes, raised in. hot.
houses and sold At a dollar the pound and
over, were articles Of luxury which none
but persons Of wealth or preteriee could o,
would afford. Some enterprising specula.
tort, who had observed the abundance, ex.
cellence, and cheapness Of grapes in Bel
gium, purchased as many baskets Of Ham.
burg grapes as a passenger steamer from
Ostend could conveniently convey, and, on
the vessels arrival in the Thames, sold of
the entire cargo to Keeling & Hunt, whole
vale fruit-venders near London Bridge.
They had paid six cents pound freight
and other charges ran this up to ten cents,
and the whole cargo went to the dealers in
parcels at sixteen cents per pound, which
lett large profit 10 Keeling & Hunt. In
lour-and-twenty hours good Hamburg
grapes were selling all over London for
twenty-five cents the pound, which, while
it amply paid the vendors, was only one.
fifth of the current price of hot.house
grapes. Ever since, foreign grapes abound
IN London throughout the season, at the
average price of twelve or fourteen cents
per pound.

MOLDAVIA AND WALLACIIIA.

Ihese TWO prlnclpalitles are so close
connected by ties of race, language and r
ligion, also by common history, that the
cannot be considered separately.
A look at good map will greatly al
the reader. These territories were par
OF the Eastern Empire after the division {
the Roman Empire. In the 18th centur
the Wallachains conquered their independ
ence. In the early part of the 10th cen
fury the Turks completely subjugated tn
people to their sway. Since then thes
provinces have remained subject to, o
tributary to the Sultan. In the bcginnin!
OF this century Russia compelled Turke,
to grant to Moldavia and WalIachia ..do
mestic and municipal .independence-rc
naming, however, subject to her rule.
The people Of these provinces are even
now sadly oppressed by the Boyars, or no
bles. Serfdom was abolished one bundled
and fifty years ago, by the Hospodar. :. Con-
stantine, not through love of the people,
but with desire to weaken the influence
Of the mobiles by detaching the peasants
from the Boyars. The Turks have never
beyond the abolition Of Serflom, done any,
thing to improve the condition, or in anv
way educate the people.
The Wallachian peasantry, though free
by law for more than a century, still stand
morally and intellectually upon the lowest
level of civilization. The noble, as yet, is
the only proprietor Of the soil he alone
Is admitted to Office, and the peasant looks
upon him in abject subserviency, as his
Legitimate. master. As long as the mobiles
remain exclusive landowners, serflom is
only nominally abolished. Centuries of
oppression have made the Wallachian and
Moldavlan peasant servile, dccci ful and
lndolent. Naturally sensual, he is also
much given to dissipation. Thus the peo-
pie are morally as much enslavel, as they
were when eerfdom was sanctioned by law
ana no treaty, no compromise with the
Porte, unless sufficient to rouse the tempest
necessary to clear the social atmosphere of
that lingering pest, will ever tend to their
elevation.
The geographical position of these
provinces are such that they have been tn.
battle ground where the cross and cres.
mt combatted for centuries. War in eyerv
