The guntry sassage.

The kuntry sassage il an oleaginous
frult. They mcclure about seven inches
one way and an inch the other, and pound
ov them fried will give pounds of grease
They are good for the dispepshee and liver
ailment, and enuff of them will bring on
the salt rune and the biles. They are az
good kold az they are het up, and If yu eat
hearty of them Monday morning for break
fast yu kan taste them Saturday night of
that week for snDper. There il two breeds
aaaf these oily vagrants. one is berlony and
the other il konnektikut. The berlony il
the biggest and will kee p oleaglnous for 8
years and not perish. hav seen berlony
so advanced in life that they waz all kiver-
ed with wrinkles, like an old kow's horn,
one wrinkle for each year. The only true
way TO git at the longevity ov berlony il
to kount the wrinkles. After the berlony
gets too old for chewing they can be used
for kindling wood, or be kept for plugging
up rat holes. They make the best kind of
plugs known to man. They will keep the
rat knawing away al the plug all the time,
and it is from IS months to years before
he can see daylight.
The konnektikut sassage is as old as the
American reYolushun, and our forefathers
used them, after they got age enough, for
katridges to fire into the pesky British.
Menny a British soldier has had hiz earthly
bissiness closed out bi our konnektikut sas-
sage. bav seen a berlony that was 2 feet
long, and inches around the waist; it had
been bored out, and was used as horn to
play in the orkestra, and the German who
owned it sed it was 13years old last March.
This waz 5 years ago, and presume the
sassage IL alive yet. The sassage il born

By some transforming power
Had changed an icicle into flower,
Its name and hue the scentless plant retains,
: While win ter fingers in its icy veins"


But bring a clump of blooming snow
| drops into the comfortable temperature
which your apartments keep up in Febru-
ary and you will discover that the snowy
milk-hower, galanthus nivalis, so far from
being scentless, gives out emanations of
sufficient power to oppress your forehead
with heavy weight. A great admirer of
hyacinths, who could not stand their smell,
used to grow them in frames in his garden,
gratifying his passionate fondness of their
beauty by going to look at them twenty
times day. They can also be cultivated
so as to be seen without being smelt, in
malquise or outside greenhouse-a double
window, in fact, with wider space than
usual between the two sashes-provided
the ventilation of the room is independent
of drafts from that direction.
The same remarks apply TO the whole
narcissus genus, to the jonquil, especially,
Beautiful and easy to force as is the lily of
the valley, it is open to the same objection.
Less potent in their influence are the lovely
blue Siberian squill, the bright little scarlet
single Won Tholl tulip, and the dog g's-tooth
violet, both pink and white, (why so
named is mystery), with its pleasing,
mottled foliage, which alone ought to in
sure its acceptance as window bulb, and
the curious fritillary or chess board flower.
The less strong smelling of the winter
towering bulbs, as crocuses in all their
different hues, may be grown in perforated
globular pots, which, in fact, might be
called omnibus flower pots, and which are
not new invention, but probably con-
triyance of the Dutch, for the cultivation
and enjoyment indoors of the early spring
bulbs of which they are so fond.

Submerged War Vessels.

The art of marine warfare is attracting
the attention of many inventors, and. so
far, the designers of torpedoes aud
similar engines of destruction seem 10
have eclipsed those who have devoted their
talents to the construction of monstrous
ironclads. But even a still more fortnida-
BILE enemy than the torpedo has lately been
invented by NJ. Olivier, of Paris, in the
shape of submerged vessel. This boat
can either float on the surface, by means
of an arrangement of wings or fins at the
bow, or be made to descend under water to-
any required depth. Provision is made
for the respiration Of the occupants, who
can guide it at their pleasure. The means
of prepelling is also novel. At the after
part of the craft is fixed a revolving breech
block, accurately fitted to a tnbe passing
through the stern of the boat. In the
breech-block ave fixed, successively, car
tridges of gunpowder, gnncotton, nitro
gly ccrin, sc. the gases from the combus-
tion Of which, as they cannot escape into the
interior, force their way out of the tube,
and, by the pressure which they exercise
on the water behind, propel the vessel,
Such craft would be able to approach an
ironciad fix it's torpedo, and retire .nnsus-
pected. without presenting any vulnerable
point to tile epemy's fire, even il observed.
Should this invention be found capable of
executing ali that is claimed for it, ne
doubt it would prove terrible Foe to the
huge arnor plated ships which have cost
such large sums Of money.

What Ieiggs' Partner Says.

CHICAGO, April w. Fl. Cilly of Lima,
partner of the late Harry Meiggs, the great
Peruvian railroad builder, is in the city.
He has in hand the gigantic enterprises I'M
dertaken by Meiggs, and is here to pur-
chase railroad material and mining ma
chinery.. He is full of projects for the de-
velopment of Peru. He has one road that
he is pushing across the Andes from Callao
and Lima to the great t-producing re-
glon on the east side of the mountains. At
present only enough grain and other pro-
ducts are grown in this rich country for do
mestic use, lowing to the difficulty Of taking
ing it to Market it having to be transported
across the mountains to the coast on mules
and llamas. When the road has climbed
the mountains Mr.. Cilley is sure that a new
granary for the world will be opened.
Great numbers of machines are already be-
ing taken to Chilli. The railroad will be
completed in year. He, like Mr.. Meiggs,
has large interests 10 silver mines in con-
nection with his railroad enterprise, which,
he says will cast the bonanza of Nevada in
the shade when developed. There are cop
per mines of vast wealth also, which are
opening up. He is positive that great
chances are open to North American lRer-
chants if they viii only take the trouble to
send their agents to Peru and introduce
their products. AS it is, the English al
most exclusively control the trade.

THE PRESIDENTS REQUEST OF THE POPE.
His Eminence John McCloskey, Arch
bishop of New York, created Cardinal by
| Plus TX. March 25, 1876, arrived in Rome
when the Conclave had already elected the
new Pope. He is the first and only Ameri-
can Cardinal One day, during the time
of President Lincoln, there arrived in Rome
| an envoy extraordinary from the White
House. He was presented to Cardinal An
tonelli, and said that President Lincoln had
directed him to salute the Pope, and to re-
quest him to appoint some American Car
dinals. Cardinal Antoneli, who did not
understand English, said in a aow voice to
the prelate who acted interpenteF, s' The
man is crazy" Then turning TO the envoy,
he said I" 1t is impossibl lie it is thing
that can never be done.'' "There is the
best reason for doing it, answered the en-
voy. g. But America is too far off, "Per-
haps yonr eminence may GO therea some
day" " go to America Never never"
" Well said the envoy, this is my eighth
visit to Europe. Nine days from New
York 30 Southampton, and five from South
ampton to RQne. l know it is not short
trip but ina while it will be made in less
time" " AS you please, dear sir but the
Cardinals are the Pope's Councillors, and
the Pope cannot take his Councillors from
the antipodes Then, there are the Con-
claves. Do you think that we can look for
the arrival Of the American Cardinals? .
" Shall speak of the Conclaves, your en-
inence ? know all about them. Formerly
when your Cardinals had to select Pope
it took several weeks to come from London
or Seville, and they ran the risk Of being
robbed on the way. Do not tell me, then,
that America is too distant Nowadays
distances exist no longer. Be good enough
for special reasons to respect the PROPOSE
ton of President Lincoln"
Antonelli would not protract the strange
He went to the Pope and
communicated to him the request of Presi-
dent Lincoln, treating both the President
and his envoy as two crazy men.
" Do you know, CARDINAL" said his Ho-
illness, % think the President shows much
and good sense, and that his
envoy is brave man. You forget cir
cur1stance of my own life. Among the sue
cesscrs of the apostles, alone, have trod

the Cardinal he said ''For my part |
shou ke tosee Ia the Sacred College men

vest Moor with the purple. I beg you to
introduce the ambassador OF President
Lincoln immediately"
Quick and astute, the Cardinal hastened
to the proud Yankee, took him warmly by
the hand, and said, "All is settled. Come,
come, the Pope wants to see you immediate
ly."
Plus | X showed himself most friendly,
and the envoy departed very well satisfied
with his work. But soon afterward Presi-
