Culture Of Peanuts.

The cultivation Of the peanut is
extending very rapidly i'll the South :
crn States. The plant is tropical and
largely cultivated in hot countries
for food. An oil is expressed fro m
the nuts said to be in no way infe rior
to that Of olives. The cultivation Of
the peanut is not profitable north Of
Virginia, warm, light aud IN o,lerat c
soil being necessary. Plant iu March
and April, according to the latitude.

To Prepare Squash for Pies.

The following method is well sui.
ted to the Hubbard and other hard
shcllcd, ngkccping squashcs, and
IS eqnally useful Tor preparing squash
for the table My plan is 10 saw n
squash i'll half. clean out the seeds;
etc., then place open end down in n
pan containing All inch or so of
boiling water, placing small slips Of
wood or thick wire underneath them
so that the edge will not burn on the
pan. Let it steam until thoroughly
tender. The flesh Of the squash is
then easily scrapcd out with q spoon,
and run through q colandcr, if
thought desirable, though it is not
necessary, there being no hard Jumps
i'll it. BY this plan none of the
aroma ofthc squash is lost, while it
greatly reduces the labor Of prepara-
lion. Another plan is to take the
two halves after cleaning from seeds.
etc, join them together and bind
firmly with twine, and place in The
oven to bake until tender. There is
little, fany difference in the result,
but | give the preference to The first
method ns being much the easiest.

TIE MEDICINE OF SUNSHINE.

lie hlEDIClNE OF SU NSIIINE.-
The word wants more sunshine in

theology. For ten thousands Of the

and women VIC recommend sunshine.
1t soothcs better than morphine. 1t
stimulates better than champagne.
1t is the best plaster for wound.
The good Samaritan poured out into

this than wine and oil. Florence
Nightingale used it on Grim am bat
tleIields. Take it into all tho alleys
on board ofall the ships, and by all
sick beds. Not phial.ull, but Il
soul full. 1t is good for spleen, for
liver complaint, for neuralgia, for
rheumatism, for falling fortunes, for
melancholy. We suspect that hca-
ven itself is only more sunshine.

The Relations of Mexico and the
United States.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-Assis-
tant Secretary of State Seward
stated this evening that this gov
ernment is becoming more and
more satisfied as to the good in
tentiOns of the present ruler of
Mexico. He thinks that there is
great dangero of the northern States
of Mexico revolving against Diaz.
TWo.Of the generals under Bene-
vides, his cOmmander-in.chief,
have resigned on account of the
surrender of Mexican citizens for
crimes not included in the extra
dition treaty. This looks to Mr..
Seward as the beginning of a
movement in the border states
against Diaz, and concerning this
he made a very important state
ment, that if Diaz made an honest
effort to stop the border outrages
and the border ruffians, and those
who sympathize with them begin
arebellion against him, the United
States will feel in duty bound to
assist him in putting down the
rebellion. The United States, Mr..
Seward said, would under no cir
cumstances make war on Mexico.
All this government will do is to
stop the border raids.

A RAILROAD corporation is

A RAILROAD corporation is a
creature of the State. 1t is granted
certain privileges and rights of
great value to enable it to better
serve the public. When under
its charter it's line is built and
equipped it becomes a common
carrier, and never can have any
legitimate object except to serve
the public. AS the rule, however,
the managers of our railroads re-
gard their franchises and charter
privileges very much as the feudal
barOns regarded real and personal
property acquired by conquest
from weaker neighbors. Once in
possession of line of railway the
interests of the company are para
mount, and the public have no
recognized rights which the man.
ayers consider themselves bound
to respect. They fear nothing and
respect nothing save competition.
When this exists they are the
humble, obliging servants of the
people; when it does not exist they
are intolerant and oppressive, eX-
acting the highest rates the public
will pay, and refusing to listen to
any suggestions which are not
enforced by something tangible in
the shape of a menance of a diver
sion of traffic. This is all wrong.
1t has already resulted in multi
plying railroad facilities in ad-
vance of the requirments of COM
and in forcing the people
of many sections to build two roads |
to carry a traffic barely sufficient |
for the profitable employment of
one. There are, of course, many
important points not now enjoy
ing the advantages of competition
and how long these cities will be
to submit to the arbitrary
policy from which they now suffer
depends upon the public spirit of
their citizens, and the nature of |
the conditions which favor or dis
courage the building of new roads
to connect with other trunk lines.
Thus by a mistaken policy the
railroads are in many instances
inviting the only thing they have
reason to fear and which, when it
comes, will leave them practically
helpless, and in the position of
defeated public enemies.- Iron
Age.

The report of Lieut.. Wheeler's
survey for the year ending June
80, 1876, contains the results of the
examination made to ascertain
whether that portion of the Colo
RADIO desert below the level of the
sea can be irrigated from the river.
The general fact that no canal for
such irrigation can be made within
the limits of our State was pub-
lished in 1875, and Lieut.. Wheeler r
was not authorized to make anN.
surveys in Lower California. That
such a canal is practicable is i'm
piled by the flowing of water into
the desert in time of food, runnir g
a long distance in Mexican terri
tory. Our government should So
licit leave of Mexico to make the
surveys and to take the land need
ed for the canal if the report
should d~be favorable. The sister
republic would lose nothing by the
enterprise. The amount of water
passing Fort Yuma in March is
$500 cubic feet every second,
enough to irrigate 1880, 500 acres,
or about 1000 square miles, while
the depressed area we SUPPOSE
