The following is taken from an article
in Appletons' American Cyclop9dia,
revised edition, entitled "O!ive": The
common olive is ono OF tho earliest trees
mentioned in antiquity; probably it was
native OF Palestine, and perhaps Of
Greece, aud it was introduced into other
countries ata very early day; it is largely
cultivated in southern Europe, western
Asia, and northern Africa; it was
brought to South America and Mexico
more than two hundred years ago, and
in various parts Of California it was
planted at the mission establishments,
where some of the old groves still re-
main, notably that Of San Diego, which
is still in good bearing, and other plan
tations have recently been made there.
In the Atlantic States the olive was in
troduced before the Revolution, and ut
several times since it is perfectly hardy
and fruitful in South Carolina the chief
obstacle to its cultivation seems to be the
fact that its crop natures Just ut the
time when nil the labor is needed to Sc
euro the cotton. The French enumerate
over twenty varieties, differing in the
size and color OF their leaves and fruits.
Olive oil is obtained from the ripe fruit,
the pulpof which contains about seventy
per cent. OF oil. Italy produces annual.
ly about 80, 10000 gallons, while the
production of France is only about
7000,0 900.

The Cynthiana Ny.) Democrat prints
the following remarkably circumstantial
account OF n recent discovery near that
town: Mr.. Thomas A. Demmon, who
resides about six miles from this place,
went ont to his barn to attend to some
business, when ho heard cry Ms of
something in distress. He at first
thought it was a cat, but could not tell,
and began searching for whatever it
might DO that was making the noise.
After looking for some moments, he
went to pile of logs that were under
the cave OF the barn, and upon finding
that tho noise came from it, he began
moving the logs, and, after moving
them he, found n heap OF fresh dirt, and
the cry evidently Of II child now, SEEM
ing to come from under the ground, md
upon digging the dirt away was Mortified
to find m infant about three or four
days old, which had boon buried alive.
1t was still alive, having been laid on
its back, n handkerchief placed over its
face, and two wide boards over it, so rs
not to touch the body, aud tho dirt on
tho board making nice little grave.
Tho child is alive md well.

Fall and Winter Fashions.

Among useful new costumes, says n
fashion journal, are those OF black CASH
mere, fabric that is now as low-priced
as good alpaca, and is more graceful and
plinble, though it does not endure hard
usage so well. It is made up in con-
junction with black gross grain of the
qualities that are now sold for S1.50 or
81 yard. One cashmere suit that will
serve rs n model Inns single bias
aouncc SHRED near the top, md edged
top and bottom with silk knife plating.
The long square overskirt, open up the
back, is trimmed across the front with
three bins bands OF gros grain placed
quite far apart, and each band edged
with fringe. The basque has two side
bodies, one Of which is very long, and
begins in the shoulder seam. The
Byron collar and the sleeves are OF gros
grim; three tapping folds from tho
cuff, and row Of six buttons is set on
these. 4 second black cashmere suit
has n square overskirt TINT does not
meet behind, but has three pufTs Of silk
set in down the back, with awide fringed
end below. Tho edge Of tho oyerskirt
is trimmcd with knife plating Of silk,
and this extends up the back on each
side of the silk puff. The basque has
silk sleeves, collar, silk forms down the
buck, and something like n vest OF silk
in front. A pretty suit Of brown cash.
mere has plated hounco TINT is partly
silk and partly cashmere.
Another novelty is double apron that
is different on each side Of tho figure,
and laps in front. Sometimes these
aprons nre plain on the left side and
striped OH the right. A suit Of three
materials, plain brown Algcriennc,
striped Algeriennc, and brown silk, is
made in this way. A plain apron laps
from the right side over another on the
left, which is striped; both are edged
with striped knife plating. The basque
is OF plain wool, with striped sleeves.
Tho brown silk skirt has striped wool
aud silk plaitings.

4 Taste for Reading.

"SIy sou is m inveterate reader"
said n Indy the other day; "all he wants
is book or paper, and he is happy"
"And what does hc read!" asked the
listener. He subscribcs for -
mentioning one Of our most popular
sensational newspapers), and pays for it
ont OF his own spending money, and he
reads everything in it; then no borrows
books OF boys in the neighborhood-l
don't know what they are, but heisn never
without one or more. When he's read'
ing I'm sure he's not in any mischief. y
Sure How could she be "snre," il
she didn't know what her boy was read
ing, that the very soul Of vice, and mis-
chief, aud ultimate ruin was not at work
within him, quiet as he seemed over his
book! There arc in New York city alone
no less than thirteen publications, all
with large calculations, for boys and
girls reading. These supply the most
vicious matter, mainly pirate, highway
man and Tndinn stories. A police officer
in Philadelphia stated not long ago tint
il certain publications could ba sup
pressed, and certain plays bc removed
from the boards Of the theater, the re-
form school for boys would soon bt
empty.

4 Romantic Story.

In the old days, when the Indians and
the white men were engaged in con-
stant warfare, the central region Of Now
York witnessed such scenes rs now only

member, q terrible massacreat Syracuse.
The settlers there were surprised in their
sleep by n band Of savages who COM
pletely overwhelmed them, killed the
men and carried many OF the younger
women away with them as captives.
Among those thus reserved for fate far
worse than death was beautiful girl
named Cathleen, the aflianced bride OF
the famous hunter Ensinore. This man,
Scotch by birth, had lived for years on
the frontier, and was renowned alike for
his skill in the chase and prowess in bat-
tie with the Indians. He was away on q
hunting expedition when the massacre
took place, and reaching home few
days afterwarS found only ruin and de-
spair whcro he had thought to hold q
wedding feast. Learning the fate OF his
bride he lost no time in attempting to
rescue her, md following the trail OF
her captors, he at Inst discovered tlat
they wero encampsd on a cliff overhang-
ing Owasco lake. Disgusting himself
rs an Indian, Ensinore, at the risk OF his
own life, made his way among the 1ro.
quois, who were resting after their VIC
torious expedition. He represented
himself rs belonging to tribe Of
Southern Indians and soon had the
freedom Of the camp.
In this way he succeeded in seeing
Cathleen, who he learned was to be
welded to one OF the chiefs. or course
the levers were not long in planning an
escape, and one stormy night Ensinore
contrived to release Cathleen from the
wigwam where she was held prisoner and
the two started to quit the camp. They
were discovered, hswever, before they
had gone far, and there was nothing for
it but to yield or to fight. Resolved to
sell his life and his bride dearly, Ensi-
more held brief, fierce battle with the
savages who first assailed him. He sue
ceeded in driving them back for few
moments, and then he and Cathlcen ran
to tho edge of tho cliff, md preferring
death together to the fatc that awaited
TIL II il they were captured, hand in
hand they leapcd tho precipice. 1t was
fearful plunge, but fortune was with
them they fell into the water unhurt,
and swimming to Ensinorc's boat,
which was moored below, they made
good their escape, favored by the dark.
ness aud the storm. It is in memory OF
the bold hunter md his bravo bride that
this pretty village on the cliff bears the
name OF Ensinore.

The First Ram Battle at Sea.

A correspondent says: AS to the sink
ing OF the Re d'Italia, had an account
Of it from the lips Of Admiral Won Tege-
thoff himself, while brcakfasting with
him tctc-a.tctc in Vienna in October,
1869. He was then organizing the
squadron which was to convey the EN-
peror Francis Joseph to Constantipople
and Egypt. The admiral, who was one
OF tho simplest as well as one Of the
bravest OF mon, told mo that on reading
the account Of tho preparations which
were madG ut New York in 1862 TO tit
out the Vanderbilt for tho purpose Of
ramming and sinking the Confederate
iron-clad Merrimack, he made up his
mind that this would prove to bo the
best way Of dealing with armored vessels
in action, and devoted himself to n
special study Of the questions involved.
When he was ordered down with his
small, mixed squadron to Lissa, early in
July, 1866, to relieve TINT place, then
besieged by the powerful iron.clad fleet
OF Admiral Persano, his intention was to
test his theory OIL this subject. As he
went into action on tho 18th he signaled
all his ships "Bear down on tho enemy
and sink them." His own flagship, the
Ferdinand Max, if my memory serves
me rightly, was an iron.clad Of about six
hundred horse. power. His captain, b.
ron NIax von Sternek, had orders to Ego
for" all tho iron-clads in the enemy's
line, one after another, and did so with
great spirit and skill. The Ferdinand
Max successfully ran three Italians
aboard, captured the flag Of one, crippled
another, and sank the third, tho Re
d'Italia, in two minutes, with her whole
crew OF six hundred men. The Aus
trians tried to save these poor fellows,
with humane inconsistency, but only
succeeded in rcscuiug few OF them.
Admiral Won Tegcthof told me, by the
way, TINT lie never saw men behave more
gallantly than tho Italians on this ship.
The crew cheered detiantly rs their hugo
ship careened over, and the sharpshoot-
crs in the tops went down firing their

The Hell Gate Excavations.

On July 4, 1876, the great explosion
which is to shatter the submarine rocks
at Hnllett's point and open navigable
channel for vessels OF large draft, COM
ing and going through Long Island
sound, to and from New York city, will
take place; such, ut least, weunderestard
to be the present intention OF those in
charge OF the work. The excavation
now in progress consists in the boring
of the holes in which the heavy charges
Of nitro.glycerine arc be placed. These
borings are about half finished, and will
require the labor OF two or three months
longer, after which two months more
will be occupied in inserting the
charges.
The entire surface undermined meas
ures two and a quarter acres, md the
cuttings aggregate 1872 feet in length,
varying in height from eight to twenty
two feet, and in width from twelve to
thirteen feet. There is u roof ten feet
thick between the mine and the water
and the latter, n! tho outer edge OF the
excavation, is twenty.six feet deep ut
low tide. Between the heading and gal
leries heavy piers are loft, which now
sustain the immense weight OF rock and
water above. In each pier from ten to
fifteen two aud three inch holes arc be-
ing drilled, and in the roof similar aper-
lures are being made at intervals Of five
feet apart. All OF these openings will
be filed with nitro. o.glycerine, in charges
OF eight and ten pounds, and all will be
connected together by gus Pipe filled
with tho same explosive. This will be
done during the cold weather, when the
danger of hauling the nitro -glyccrine is
greatly diminished.
Previous to the explosion, the Golfer
dam will be broken AWAY and the water
allowed to fill the entire excavation, SC
that it will serve rs n tamping. Then,
by means Of M electric fuse, tho nitro
glycerine in tho gas pipe will be fired,
which will determine the blowing up oi
tho whole affair. No fear is apprchend'
ed as to the result, since it has been de-
tcrmined TINT the explosion Of half the
charges will bc sufficient to cave in the
roof, and cause it to fall to the snnker
floor, deepening tho water at once to o
proper depth, or necessitating but little
dredging to complete the work.
The now operations at Flood rock viii
involve still greater cuttings than nj
Hullett's point. The shaft is now down
to depth OF fifty feet. The Hallett's
point work has been under way since
1860, but has been greatly delayed by
the failure of Congress to provide sutii
cient appropriations il the same course
is to bG followed with reference to the
Flood rock excavations, it will be Iaani
festly impossible to form my estimate
OF their time OF completion.

Securing Wild Honey.

The "whitc mans iy," as the Indians
call the wild honey bee, lives between
civilization and solitude, and the average
white man likes to truck the fly" to its
home and to scoop out from n hollow
tree the stores OF honey tint have accu-
mulated for years. There are men in
Morris county, n. j., says tho Sin, like
John Odell, who, owning patch OF
ground for themselves, keep their bees
on the mountain tops and III the swamp
lands for miles around, and they arc
safe. No one but n professional beo
hunter could ever find the hives, and it
is m unwritten law among them that they
shall respect each others prior rights.
A big blazed spot on the side OF the tree
that holds tho bees, and the initials or
mark OF the discoverer, are sufficient to
protect his rights OF property, and he
can lose his bees only by their swnrming
and choosing another home. Then, un-
less he is present to follow them with
his own eye from their old home to their
new, his claim upon them is gone, and
they will belong to him who first finds
them.
The professional bee hunter begins
his work early in the spring. He stands
close by some Towering shrub, or by
some patch Of spring flowers, from which
he follows single bce sometimes for
miles, blazing his way rs he goes, until
lie sees it enter n hollow tree or II cleft
in the rocks. II the hive proves to be
new property, the finder establishes his
claim with his hatchet, mud takes careful
bearings OF tho spot, jotting them down
with reference to local streams androcks,
and natural landmarks unintelligible to
strangers, and as bewildeIing as Capt.
Kidd's log books have been to modern
gold seekers. He calculates his longi-
tude, perhaps, from some wooachuck's
hole known only to himself, and his lati-
tude from some tall tree conspicuous by
its blighted top, or from pool tliat has
historical interest to him by reason OF
n big trout which he caught there; for
tho bee hunter is usually fisherman and
sportsman too. Later in tho season the
best starting ground is from the few
buckwheat fields that arc cultivated on
the sunniest spots Of the hillsides; but
10 honey is taken from the hives until
late in the fall, after the gathering sea-
son is over. Then, il the storing place
is accessible, the bulk Of tho sweet
treasure is taken out, only enough being
left to maintain the busy workers through
semi-torpid winter.

lie Knew What Was Coming.

The Providence journal tells the fol.
lowing old story, which is worth repeat
ing: A careful, old-fashioned man q
few years ago came into town to sell
some shares in bank. "Why do you
wish to sell them p hG was asked. "You
cannot invest your money better. The
bank is well managed, tho dividends Rre
certain, regular and satisfactory" Oul
friend from tho country replied ~
know all that. The bank is well
enough but l don't want stock in q
bank where the cashier keeps race'
horse and bets on the course" When
the cashier deiaulted, n few years after
ward, the overcautious old fogy did mol
hold any Of tho shares, which wenI

Girls Fishing.

A writer tells us how ladies fish. He
says he saw four OF them who had sue
ceeded in landing little founder. No
sooner had the poor fish struck tho
ground thAn all exclaimed in one voice :
"Ouch! Murder! take it away.
Ugh, the nasty thing!"
Then they hold up their skirts and
gather nbout that fish, and all tho time
tho one who caught tho fish is holding
the line in both hands, with her foot on
the pole, rs though she had m evil.dis'
posed goat at tho other end, which she
expected to butt her ut any moment.
Then they talk over it:
However will We get it OFF,
"Ain't it protty'"
"Look how it pants"
Wonder il it amt dry !"
Poor little thing, let's put il
back"
"How will We get the hook from itl'
"Pick it up" says n girl, who backs
rapidly out Of tho circle.
"Good gracious! lm afraid Of it
There, it's opening its mouth at me-"
Just then the fish wiggles of tho hool
and disappears into the water, md thu
girls try for another bite.
