b@The Boston Post, q frien

p@The Boston Post, friend of the
hanks, says the business of National
banking has not proved wholly profitable
the past six months, as out of 2,408
banks 357 passed their dividends for that
term. Why, bless your soul, all of them
would have passed their dividends had
they thought they could by so doing
make Congress believe they are not ma
king enough to pay taxes. They can act
the part OF the beggar-woman with the
ssolen baby as well as not when occasion
calls.

EyOn New Years day resumption
will be commenced. If you should
want gold, all you will have to do will
be to take FIVE dollar greenback to the
sub treasury at New York and present
it for redemption. Then you put your
FIVE dollar gold piece in your pocket,
and return home. The total outlay need
not exceed thirty dollars, and four days
loss Of time.
What boon resumption will be to the
masses Of the American people!

The Silver Question.

The Eastern Democrats would be will
ling to compromise the silver question
by putting gold dollars worth OF sill.
yer in each eilver dollar, and cores.
ponding amount in the minor coins.
At the present price Of silver bullion
there is about fifteen per cent more in
trinsic value in gold dollar than there
is iu the silver dollar, while in the halves,
quarters and dimes the difference is
nearly ten per cent greater.
The proposal is to equalize this in.
trinsic value by increasing the weight Of
the silver coins; then, it is given out, the
anti silver men would consent to free
coinage of silver. and cease their war
upon 1t.
1t Is not at all probable that the
friends OF silver money will consent to
such an adjustment. Just now silver is at
al unusually low price as compared with
gold, the ratio being over Is to l. Four
years ago the ratio was about l5t to l
How soon these relative values may
again turn in favor Of silver no man can
foretell.
The Silver Congress which met in
Paris last Summer gave up the attempt
to equalize the two metals without even
giving the subject full discussion. 1t
was not believed that any adiustmeu
could he made which would be perma-
nent, sndit was gravely doubted whether
such m adjustment wss earsble
In view Of these facts 1t is hardly to
be expected that the friends Of silver
money will yield the advantages which
they now have, to adopt scheme which
in the next turn Of the market nigh,
make silver coin too valuable to circu-
late as money, and thus demonetixe it as
eifectualIy as it was demonetizsd by the
trick of 1873.

strong fishy taste observable in many OF
the cities, which proceeds from decay
ing vegetation and not from fish, as the
housekeeper religiously believes. This
is temporary, though very disagreesble,
and We know of no remedy. II Is doubt
ful If dragging up the dead matter
would remedy it. When we kept trout
ponds we also had several varieties OF
wild geese and pair of swans. The
latter cleaned out the vegetation in one
pond, and the water smelled and tasted
muddy. 1t was a small pond, 75xl4
feet, and full of trout. When the
plants were gone the fish all crowded
to the inlet for fresh water and the sup
ply was increased. After this the swans
were removed, and when vegetation
again started the fish went back into the
pond. Our experience in aquaria has
proved that cryptogamous plants, /. e.,
those which do not flower or bear seed,
most particularly the small kinds that
appear as moses on stones and rock
work, are the most valuable for OXy-
genation. Plants whose stems are only
in the water are of but little use for this
purpose, therefore select those whose
habit is to remain entirely submerged.
Watercress and myriophillum are
among the best.

Female Smugglers.

Some instances of female smuggling
from European steamers on their arrival
in New York denote an amazing spirit
of enterprise. On one lady was found
a douhle-quilted petticOat lined with
Shetland shawls, caps and stockings.
On another a quantity of the finest silk
bindings, ten valuable watches, two silk
dress patterns, two dozen silver spoons,
a dozen silver forks, and eight pieces of
silk galloon. On a third, seventy-three
bundles of sewing-silk and twenty-nine
pairs of kid gloves. One lady had in
the facings of her dress, cigars; and in
her petticoat meerschaum pipes A
German woman endeavOred to evade
duty by hanging nine watchchains
around her neck, a valuable watch at the
end of each chain. A little French
woman who was invited into the office
of the lnspectress, was found to have
on her husbands red flannel drawers,
which were here and there tied in putfs.
These putfs contained ga Bohemian tOi-
let glass set, two dozen salt cellars,
three dozen silver spoons, three dozen
silver forks, several little articles of
6Uoaterie in bronze and crystal, and
some fine ryoOd-carvings; all of which
were put up in the softest tissue-paper,
that they might not strike against each
other" Another amusing instance of
enterprise may be quoted: "NOt long
since, lady, arriving on one of the
French steamers, was observed to bring
a small box from the steamer to the
dock. From this she took velvet
sacque, putting in its place an ordinary
locking Paisley shawl, which evidently
she had at first thrown about her shoul-
ders. Her trunks were examined, but
nothing dutiable was discovered.
After the officers had finished their
duties, the lady traveller returned her
sacque to the box, and again put on
her shawl. She was then requested
to show the sacque, which proved
to be costly and elegant Paris-made
garment, having the "ticket" still
appended to the lining. The lady was
then invited into the Office Of the In
spectress, and on her person were found
laces of great value, sewed into the ar
tificial rotundities Of her figure, not to
mention a silk dress pattern as drapery
en- panier. Inside of the very ordinary
Paisley shawl, so carelessly thrown
about her shoulders, were found an
India shawl ofa quality 50 uncommonly
fine that it would have escaped the
vigilance of any but woman put upon
the track of another.

season must come in the ordinary
sized packages, and here forethought
and care will pay. The fruit must be
gathered carefully by experienced
hands. A dent in the surface no mat
ter how small, will be black surface
in few days. TO handle like eggs is
4 faint caution in the case of choice
peaches or winter apples. In asserting,
three, even four will be necessary. The
distance from market determines the
time at which to gather fruit so as to
have it arrive in perfection. Keep out
all that is Overripe, and do not
gather any too green. Never mix diff
ferent kinds in the same box, unless
you are merely selling windfalls, which
seldom pay expenses. The art of pack
ing a box of apples or pears so as to
make it show at its best is only attain
able by long practice. Uniformity OF
size and color, and even filling up the
box, without bruising, are the essen
tials. We have seen boxes of the Sec
Ond size Newton pimpins, well packed
bring more than first size, poorly
packed. The clear, even color, the
level and glossy surface, the regular
perfect rows-all these are pleasing,
and pay for the time occupied. The
orchardist knows exactly how to choose
a good peach from his own orchard. lie
goes to the sunny side of the tree, and
finds one with rich, dark color, just
ripe, and half hid in glossy leaves.
Then he eats It, with certain vague
pity for the city people, who take theirs
from a box. Now, the gist of our SER
mon is, that the Orchardist must try to
get the best favored and most beautiful
fruit and get it to market in the most
pleasing condition. If it appeals to the
artistic sense, as it lies in the market, it
win not long want purchaser.
