CREEPING UP.-A few weeks since
it was the Presidents private secreta-
ry that was implicated in the whiskey
frauds Next came Secretary Belk-
nap, who was caught in the very act
of selling appointments at his disposal.
And now comes The report that Or
vile Grant, a brother of the Presi-
dent, is implicated in the frauds of
which Belknap stands convicted. "Let
no guilty man escape"

PROFITABLE BANKRUPTCY.-A BOs-
ton letter states that nearly thOus-
and New England firms have gone
into bankruptcy during the past sixty
davs. 1t is also intimated that many
of these business failures were 4 mere
business speculation. n firm discOv-
ers that it can get realeased from lis
liabilities by paying about fifty per
cent. on them, and the temptation TO
do so, even though able to pay in full :,
is too great for the slender stock Of
moral principle which many trades
men of the present day possess. The
tine when going through bankruptcy
was a narrowing process seems to
have passed. Business men duck
their beads under water for a few
days, keep still and let the law set
them free of dbet. Then they come
up smiling and 90 on as before.

BLOWING Hor AND CoLD.-It is very
painful to record the fact that the at
titudp of President Grant 20 Secretary
Bristow in relation to the whiskey
fraud trials exhibits the former in the
light of one urging aloud one day
what he doggedly attempts to prevent
the next. Even as a policy this Is a
mistake, for Gfaut is thus making
Bristow The most important man in
country. BristOw must not let him>
self be driven out, no matter what al.
noyanee il costs him 10 remain.

"LrT no guilty man escape" was
the Presidents declaration when the
manufacturers of " crooked whiskey y
were being run down by the minions
of the law but with the evidence OF
Belkuap'S guilt in his possession, lie
with hot haste accepted his resisna
ton, hoping thereby to stavc of the
impeachment of the guilty Secretary.

able integrity, but who lost his pCpu-
larity by bis connection with the
famous law to make the press of the

How Now When Williams, De

went out of office under a cloud, the

them letters. assuring them that he

CoRHUPrIox.-To find a parallel for
the corruption :hat everywhere per-
meates the party in power, we must
go back TO the days when WaIpole
ruled England, and openly conducted
his administration on the principle
that every man had his price" The
radical party seems to be al least two
centuries behind ;he age, and at this
late day attempts to govern the coun
try after the fashion that disguSted
and disgraced our English iorefathcrs.
They have already made the public
service synonym with peculation
ard fraud, and with the Belknap ex-
ploSion have shown that they are
capable OF STOPPING TO acts that would
mantle the cheek of a South Sea
Islander.

A Long spaaoh.

The longest speech on record is be-
lieyed to have been that made by Mr..
De Cosmos, in the Legislature of BIRTHS
Columbia, when measure was pending
whose passage would take from great
many settlers their lands. De Cosmos
was in hopeless minority. Tie lob mad

Of the session; unless legislation was
taken before noon Of given s.ay the act
Of confisoation would fail The day be-
fore tne expiration o. the Limitation De

sr;ends sd 'p .ech against the bill. Its
eno' that Jared little, for they supposed
~ t' oy or O'Clock he would be
.hrough, and the bill could be put on its
passage.
One O'Clock came and De Cosmos was
speaking still-hadn't more than entered
upon his subject. Two o'clock-he was
saying sin the second place." Three
evidence, and insisted on reading 1t.
The majority began to have suspicion
Of the truth--he was going TO speak till
next noon and kill the bill. For while
they made merry over 1t; but, as it came
| on to dusk, they began to get alarmed
They tried interruptions, but soon aban
doned them because each one afforded
him chance to digress and gain time
They tried to shout him down, but
that gave him a breathing space, ant
finally they settled down to watch thu
combat between strength OF will ant
weakness of body. They gave him nc
mercy. No adjournment for dinner; nt
chance to do more than wet his lips witt
water; no wandering from his subject
no sitting down. Twilight darkened
the gas was lit; members slipped out t.
dinner in relays, and returned to sleel
In squads, but De Cosmos went on. Tit
Speaker, to whom he was addressing
himself, was alternately doing, snorin
and trying to look wideawake.
Day dawned, and the majority slippe
out In squads to wash and breakfast
and the speaker still held on. 1t cam
be said it was very logical, eloquent
or sustained speech. There were d.
gressions In it, repetitions also. Blu
|, still the speaker kept ONT and, at last
noon came to bafled majority, livi
with rage and impotence, and a singl
man, who was triumphant, though hi
voice had sunk to a husky whisper, hi
, eyes were almost shut and were bleare
and bloodshot, his legs tottered unde
him, and his baked lips were cracke
and smeared with blood. De Cosmo

Pine Apples.

The popular belief is that the pine
apple grows ON tall tree. All mis-
take. This most delicious fruit grows
on asprawling sfnside grower" not
more than two feet high. The leayesare
two to three inches wide, with serrated
edges, very long, and the plant squats
near the earth like sprawling cabbage.
Each plant bears a single pine apple
hat shoots up from the centre. These
flaming red, and pine apple field thus
seen is all ablaze With'a glow brilliant
and deep like the hues of an anthracite
crate fire. There were several fields,
perhaps two hundred acres in all,
aflame with the deep red glow Of the
ripening pines. Mr.. johnson, the pro-
prietor Of these fields, is said to be the
largest pine apple planter in the world,
and has fields in several different
islands Of the Bahama group. Within
the year he is said to have planted no
less than $4,000 dozen, or 100000 pine
apple plants. Pines have been Guilt
vated in these islands for over 100 years,
but the first cargo to England was not
shipped until Is42. In 1854 (the latest
statistics accessible), 229, ,228 dozens
were shipped TO the United States and
England, valued at &21,299. Pines are
4 indigenous to the Bahamas, and there
are three varieties. The sugar-loaf il
the most juicy and delicious, is smaller
and stands long voyage the best. This
kind mainly goes to England. The Cuba
variety is larger, but less sweet, and is
the kind shipped to the United States
The birds eye variety Is going out, as
rats and land crabs injure the crops
| When land crabs invade a field they
make clear destruction OF the crop,
and one case is cited where the rats ate
5000 dozen of pine apples from a forty
| acre field. An acre OF land usually con-
tains 1000 dozen pine plants which ar
planted from slips, and The first crop is
gathered in the second years growth
| Yielding from 1000 to 1,500 dozen pines
the second and third year 1000 dozen
Tie fields are cleaned six times year
The laborers wear canvas leggings to
protect them from the spines Of the
leaves. A field has to be replanted in
three to five years. The average weight
of the Cuba variety of pines is three
and a half pounds-of the sugar-loai
three. There are two cuttings or crops
| in the year, the first In May or June,
and the second In July or August. 1t is
profitable crop.
