1t is popular fallacy that the luscious
and health-preserying tomato has its orr
gin as an article of food in this country.
But while there is some reason to believe
it was first found in South America, it
was evidently cultivated centuries ago in
Mexico and Peru, Dodoens, the Neither
lands herbalist, mentions the tomato as
early as 1888 as vegetable to be eaten
with pepper, salt and oil. 1t belongs to
the nightshade family, and was used in
cooking by the Malays more than CEN
tury and a halfsince. 1t is extensively rails
ed in Southern Italy, and employed there
as an accompaniment to nearly every dish
particularly to macaroni But neither
there nor anywhere else in Europe is if
commonly eaten as it is here separately
and in quantities. In England it is spar
ingly produced, requiring a hotbed in the
spring, and isin consequence high-priced.
The Italians formerly called it golden
apple, and now call it love apple, as ii
was once designated in this country. The
appearance of the tomato on table
has greatly increased in Europe within a
few years, but in no land is it regular
dish-much as it is used for sauce abroad
-as in the United States, where it is
also picked, preserved and confected.

CATTLE FROM THE WEsr.-Figures
show that during the period beginning
January 1, 1875, and ending on the 1st
of July 1880, there were brought to Bos-
ton from Western points beyond Albany,
77O,341 head of cattle, 937, ,854 sheep and
2,2S1, ,522 hogs. Forty per cent. of the
cattle and 10 per cent. of the sheep are
exported, while the hogs are disposed of
in the pork establishments about Boston.
Undoubtedly, many of these hogs are ex-
ported in the shape of hams and bacon,
doing service on foreign tables as of
English production. The imports from
the North have not been tabulated as yet,
but cannot equal in number those brought
from the Occident.

theatre-going public will regret to learn
of the death Of Lillian Adelaide Nelson,
the famous tragedienne, which took
place very suddenly last Monday at the
Continental Hotel, in Paris. Miss Neil
son was 30 years of age and was born in
London. She made her deJme at the
Royal Theatre in 1865. The brief cable
gram announcing the death of the dis
tinguished actress makes no mention of
the disease whose fatal touch deprived
the profession of one of it's brightest
ornaments, but it is known that Miss
Nelson, for the past two years, had been
subject to acute nervous attacks, which
had frequently obliged her to postpone
her professional engagements. Her death
was probably owing to another attack of
nervous prostration. Miss Nelson's faith
er was a Spanish nobleman and her moth
er the daughter ofan English clergyman.
She came to this country about ten years
ago, and at once won popular favor. AL
though she had played Shakspearean parts
in England prior to her American tour, it
was not until after her return that she
was recognized as the greatest exponent
of the lighter roles During the past ten
years she has held the distinction of being
the best Juliet on the stage. She mar
ried Mr.. r. P. Lee prior to her appear
ance in this country, and lived very un-
happily with him. A few years ago she
had accumulated large fortune Her
death was wholly unexpected.

one Of the necessity OF removing the mud,
the accumulation and deposit Of forty years.
In that time pressure and settling has al.
most solidiGed it. When it is remembered
that every drop OF water is pumped over
this before drinking, 1t takes away the en-
ioyment which this "elixr Of life" gives.
Such a splendid opportunity for giving this
otherwise attractive and beautiful resort a
thorough cleaning seldom If ever occurs,
and the duty should devolve on some one
to attend to it at once, as "tide and time
wait for no man y; certainly not IN this
case. This would give employment TO
many idle but industrious hands and prove
a great benefit TO the city. ]. WITNESS.
