Squire Bray, of Caswell, was hunt

the capacious breast pocket of the

How NUTMEGs GRow.-Nutmegs
grow on little trees which look like
small pear trees, and are generally
over twenty feet high. The flowers
are very much like the lily of the val
ley. They are pale and very fragrant.
The nutmeg is the seed of the fruit,
and mace is the thin covering over
this seed. TIE fruit is about the size
of peach. When ripe it breaks open
and shows the little nut inside. The
trees grow on the islands of Asia and
in tropical America. They bear fruit
for seventy or eighty years, having
ripe fruit upon them at all seasons. A
fine tree in Jamaica has over 1000
nutmegs on it yearly The Dutch
used to have all this nutmeg trade, as
they owned the Banda Islands, and
conquered all the other traders and
destroyed the trees. 10 keep up the
price they once burned three plies of
nutmegs, each of which was as large
as church, Nature did not sympa-
thize with their meanness. The nut
meg pigeon, found in all the Indian
islands, did for the world what tie
Dutch determined should not be done
carried the nuts, which are their
food, into all the surrounding coun-
tries, and trees grew up again, and the
world had the benefit.

NEH- GROUND FOR DIVORCE

WAsnINGToN, d. c., Jan. "A
remarkable opinion has been given in
the Virginia Court of Appeals by
Judge Anderson, one of the Judges, in
the case of Latham U.s. Latham, to the
effect that Republicanism is good
ground for divorce In the case re-
ferred to, Mrs. Latham charges in her
bill that her husband required her to
conceal her want of sympathy with
his political cause, and alleges that
the shock was so great to her when
she found, after her marriage, that her
husband, whom as girl she had adj
mired and honored as one who had
done his duty to his native State in
arms, and whom she supposed to be
still true, had in fact allied himself
With what are known in Virginia as
Radicals, that she could stand it no
longer, and was compelled to slc for
divorce. In the opinion of Judge
Anderson, dissenting from the major
ity of the Supreme Court, and over
ruling the decree of the Corporation
Court at Lynchburg, he descants in
the following happy vein:
1.-The shock and modification of Mrs.
Latham was to find that her husband
had not been true that he had de-
serted his friends and had gone over
to the enemy, and had joined him in
waging upon them war more cruel
than war of arms. 1t was perfidy
the moral faint which she felt attached
to him, and which would likely ex-
cg1de him from the best society Of the
State" And, therefore, this most
righteous Judge thought the bonds of
matrimony ought to be dissolved

IT is not solely on the general pros

for our grain and provisions in Europe

must necessarily benefit us Mr.. Rufus

HOME RULERS IN COUNCIL.
DUBLIN, Jan. 20.-A meeting of
thirty-three Home Rule members of
Parliament, under the Presidency of
the Lord Mayor, passed a resolution
calling upon the Government to insti-
tute reproductive relief works. A res
olUtion to move an amendment to tho
address, if the Queens speech contains
nothing touching the Irish distress.
was adopted Wm Shaw said the
| Government wifully shut its eyes to
the distress in Ireland. Mitchell Henry
said that, if the demands are not CON-
piled with, they must force compliance
by constitutional action or otherwise.
Daniel O'Donaghue, member from
Tralee, announced that he would in
future act with the Home Rulers Mr.
Shaw condemned the Government re-
lief measures as tardy and utterly in
adequate Mitchell Henry pointed out
that the Irish members should not per-
nit the attention of Parliament to be
directed to foreign policy, as doubtless
will be attempted on the first night of
the session, until the affairs of unfor-
tunate Ireland have been put in a
proper position.
THE APPEAL FOR IRELAND.
The appeal of the Mansion Commit
tee to the people of the United States
says:
1t is now admitted the distress is of
an acute and exceptional character,
certain to involve actual starvation if
extraneous aid be not promptly and
literally forthcoming. The distress
daily increases in area and intensity,
and it seems almost impossible to
avert until next harvest an absolute
famine in many places.
This central committee distributes
through local committees, of which
the clergy of all denominations in the
district and poor law medical officers
must be members, and requires relief
to be given only in kind and not in
money
LIVELY HOME RULE MEETING.
A Home Rule meeting to-day passed
resolutions in favor of fixity of the
tenure and peasant propriety. The
Lord Mayor, who presided, refused to
receive a resolution expressing sympa-
thy with the peasantry of the west of
Ireland in their struggle to retain their
holdings, on the ground that the strug-
gle has assumed the aspect of physical
force
During an excited debate Biggar de-
clared that Shaw was not leader of
the Irish people, but that Parnell was.
The meeting adjourned to Wednesday.
EMIGRATION TO AMERICA.
The Irish National Land League
has resolved to hold a grand meeting
in Phoenix Park in furtherance of the

sist emigration from Donegal, Glare,
Kerry, Cork and Connaught to Canada

He SAYS he feels sure the Americans
will heartily cooperate in the plan he
proposes for relieving the distress in

THE heartrending steamboat accident
on Long Island sound had all the ele-
ments of most terrible shipwreck, and
could hardly have been more disastrous
to human life or attended with more Sc
we're and picturesque incidents of suffer-
ing had it happened in mid-ocean. The
details are as full of interest as they are
of horror. and while some of them exhibit
high heroism, others are calculated to
confirm faith in human depravity. 1t
seems to be very well established that
some carelessness contributed to the dis
aster, and cowardice and inefficiency in
time of danger aggravated the fearful
responsibility of the officers and crew of
the ill-fated vessel.

SCARCELY third of the delegates to
Cincinnati are instructed; not fourth
of them are committed to any one man.
All calculations fail to indicate who will
be the final choice of the necessary two
thirds. There is certainly no calculable
reason to think that Mr.. Tilden will be,
and many indications that from choice no
less than from necessity, he will not allow
his name to go before the convention,
but will exert his influence to secure a
candidate acceptable to himself and the
whole party in his state to the end that
he and his campaign of 1876 may be vim
dicated by the triumph of Democratic
principles.

personal freedom likely to prevail in the
