Beans.

The price of beans has got down so low
that not few who have been in the habit
of growing them will this year put in pota-
toes instead. We think they will miss it,
as the people who continually shift their
crop generally do. Beans require the same
soil and manure as potatoes, both being
what are called "potash crops" and doing
best on rather light soils. With an average
crop of either the proportion will be about
ne bushel of beans to eight bushels of po-
tatoes; that is, land that will bring one
hundred and sixty bushels of potatoes will
yield twenty bushels of beans. But there
is no difficulty in putting the crop up to
thirty bushels, and even more in good sea
son when the land is right and proper cul.
tiyation is given. There is something in
the seed, too. Some kinds are much more
productive, freer from spot and rust, and
ripen much earlier and evener than other
kinds. A writer, evidently of experience,
says on this subject, in a late issue of the
american Cuhiudtor:
Custom and habit seem TO hold the sway as
regards the variety Of beans used in any partic-
ular locality. Thus the pea bean has always
been the most popular variety In Boston and
vicinity, the marrow bean in Providence, X. l.,
and Fall River, and the medium bean in New
York. Marrows are principally in demand in
New York city for foreign shipment, and that city
monopolizes the bulk of the export trade In beans
Western New York farmers raise mainly the
medium and marrow varieties, though they are
devoting increased areas 10 pea beans. Most Of
our Northern farmers raise pea beans almost ex-

titles OF beans In Boston market than she pro-
duces within her own territory. Yellow-eyes
would be more extensively consumed in this
market, particularly Of the improved variety, If a
more uniform supply could be depended upon.
Hotels and eating-houses find the yelow-eye to
be clean, meaty and rich, giving excellent salts

the former variety Is even greater than now
We raise considerable crops of beans, as
the most convenient thing we can plant
among our fruit trees in nursery and orchard
For several years we grew the marrow ant
pea varieties, both of which, though pro
ductive and salable, have Objectionable
points. They both ripen so unevenly tina
it is necessary to stack them in the field h
dry before being threshed. The pea bean i
quite liable to rust and spot, and the mario,
TO split under the fail. For all these reasons
(besides the trouble of stacking), they RI
quire hand picking to prepare them fo

shifted to yellow-eyed variety-not tn

sort procured from Maine that is as plum
and glossy as marrow. II isknown as tn

MODERATE DRISKING.-It gives us a
million drunkards and paupers, hundred
thousand idiots and insane, and nearly, or
quite, thousand murders and suicides
every year. Add to these the homes that
are desolated by intemperance, and then we
have a host of slaves bound in stronger fet-
tiers than those of any slavery. All this
comes of moderate drinking. Not one

cAsANAVE's COMPLAINT.

"Casanaves give-away," as IL was gen
orally denominated at the Ou7Ioln-nouse
yesterday, created no little excitement ana
commotion among the clerks ana employees
Of the building and also Of the Repuollcan
politicians ward and parish who make the

point.
The heads of departments, also, were all
more or less exercised about II, ana us
probable effect on the country was discussed
and argued, many different opinions retailing
to 1t being expressed and supported
There was howpver q point on which there
wa4 ~ disaDreemant and that was that as
mueh IF the sting as possible must be taken
aft IF the statement, and that Casanaye must
be s.gone for" In this connection there was
some talk oe showing what the Republican
marty had done for the deserter III times past,
of PROVING by the record that during the
Radical administration Casanave filled and
drew the salary Of no less than four Offices,
one of which paid $4,000 year. -,
no donbt he made to further show that Casa
nave In naming the Custom-House employees
omitted to mention his brother, who, 1t Is
said. has been for some time past holding q
position which pays 81 day.
Attention will not, however, be called 70 the
fact that Casanave also forgot to mention
the two relatives of WellS's employed In the
weighers' department
Although, as stated above, 1t was agreed
that Casanave must be assailed, it is probable
that no steps or action of any kind will be
taken until instructions as to the course to be
nnrsued, are received from Washington.

1T WOULDN'T WORK.

Wung Chung Il Co.. the Royal street tea
merchants who were arrested some days ago
for selling tobacco without q license. were ar
raigned yesterday before United States Com
missioner Quintero, and were discharged,
they proving that the tobacco found. and on
which the charge was based, was not their
property, and not for sale by them. .zS
The officer who made the charge had pre-
ferred the additional one of resistance to him
while in the discharge OF his duty, but he
withdrew it, as the facts In the case did not
justify it.
1t happens that the officer In his zeal to
capture the Cinnamon and what he supposed
was their tobacco, went to their place OF Dust
ness without first providing himself with the
proper warrants. He was met by one OF the
Cninamen who demanded his "papee. he
presented an official-looking document, which
he happened to have in his pocket, but it did
not work with the heathens. They looked
over it, and one OF them contemptuously
tossed it back, with the remark, too muchee
thinee." The door was then hastily and un-
tremendously closed, while there was united
cries on the part Of the Cinnamon for 'po-
licee! policeen'
the officer departed, procured proper
paper, and, returning and presenting It, was
admitted by the Cinnamon without hesita-

BOARD OF HEALTH.

Special Meeting Called For To-day to
Consider the Case Of the Vanguard.
There was no meeting of this board last
night, owing to the fact that Mr. Marks was
suddenly called away by reason Of the sad
and fatal accident to his nephew, Percy A.
Marks. z-szz@. .=..M
Drs. Austin and fancy and Messrs. Hutch
inson and Booth we're present, but after the
departure of Mr.. Marks there was no quorum
and the board adjourned till to-day at u A.,
when there will be an executive session to
consider the application of the captain OF the
steamer Vanguard, who, il letter to the
board, cites the instance of the steamer Lucy
P Miller, which vessel received allowance
from the Board of Health in July last for
seven days which she remained in quarantine
at Tampa, Fla, and asks that the same rule
be applied to his ship.
In the case Of the Miller it appears that the
allowance was made, but owing to some acci-
dental detention the fever broke out on the
ship before she left the Quarantine Station
for this city, and she was therefore, detained.
It Is the impression that the board regards
the case Of the Miller as furnishing proof OF
the inadvisability and danger OF making the
allowance claimed.
