Peaches 8 Half Dollar Apiece.

Vincent Elliot said to Virginia City, (Nev.) Enterprise reporter: On the 4th of July, 1854, Judge Stills, Judge R. H. Taylor and Judge M. Kirkpatrick came down out of the mountains and came to my place to get some fruit to eat. I had just got a lot of fine peaches up from Smiths Crossing, Nevada County These caught their fancy. I sold them at fifty cents each. They said it was cheap enough and agreed among them selves to turn to and eat all they wanted to have their fill of peaches for once. In order to simplify the business of keeping count of the peaches eaten they laid the stones of the fruit in heap on the counter as they ate, and when they had finished counted the seed thus put aside. There were just eighty peach stones, and throwing two $20 pieces on the counter the trio walked of, we'll sat- isfied with their feast. For once they had "all the peaches they could eat. J That day MT. Elliot took in over $500 at his fruit stand.

Origin of the Pigtail.

A recent imperial edict on the subject calls our attention to the origin of the pigtail, which is now the distinctive mark of native of the fowery land. It is one of the strange phenomena of that country, where everything is so ancient, and where so few innovations have been tolerated, that this practice, which was originally the badge of con- quest, should have been not merely &C., cepted, but permitted to inrertwine itself so closely with the national life that it would now require forcible measures to induce the people to forego it. For in the days before the Manchu conquest, when the throne was occu- pied by the great dynasties of antiquity, the Chinese allowed their hair to grow as best it pleased them, and they were even known to some of their neighbors as the "long- g-haired race" But when the great soldier, Noorhachu, marched seuthward from Moukden to conquer China and establish the the Manchu dy- nasty, he gave orders to his ieutenants to compel the people as they submitted to shave their heads in token of their surrender. The Manchus were thus enabled to discover at glance which of the Chinese were vanquished and which were not, while the thoroughness of their success was expressed in the most formal and emphatic manner. This practice was adopted partly from the exigencies arising out of the con- quest of the multitudes of China by mere handful of Tartar soldiers, and be- came an integral portion of the Manchu system of government, and the result has tended to confirm the wisdom of the present dynasty. The popular views of on the subject of the plgtail have not yet been ascertained with any degree of certitude; but it may be remarked that all the instructions of the last twenty years have put forward as one of their features the intention to renew this practice, which has there been repre- sented as a badge of conquest. There now, however, seems more chance than ever of its perpetuation.

Captive Among Savages.

Captain Mclaughlin, exploring some of theSolomon Islands, saw white man in one of seventy canoes, each contain ing forty savages. This man was one of the survivors of the French Italian en- igration expedition of the Marquis de Reyes. The captain, after considerable stratagem, got alongside the canoe con- taining the white man, who was ulti- mately, with some difficulty and danger, purchased for three American hatchets. It was discovered that he was an Italian named Luigi Boero, who had been fif- teen months captive with the savages. When he found that he was about to be liberated his joy knew no bounds, and he became almost frantic. He embraced Captain Mclaughlin in an agony of joy, while the savages surrounded them, shouting, yelling and brandishidg their weapons. Luigi Boero believed he was utterly lost. He imagined that he had been with his captors three years. He. with five unfortunate mates, left Liki harbor to go on cruise in an open boat. Three days afterward they struck reef. The boat, unfortunately, was broken, and they fell into the hands of the na- tives. He got separated from his com panions, whom he only saw once after ward, when they had fearful tale of suffering to relate. They were treated worse than dogs. They were slaves to every one in the village, and made to do horrible work, always being treated with the greatest ill usage, and obliged to work in the broiling sun, with their skin peeling off. When enfeebled and sick they were cruelty beaten and tor tured. Other survivors have been heard of, but none found.

A Sharp ElectiOneering Trick.

A certain candidate some years ago, in England, stood for 8 town which is not more celebrated for its electoral pur- ity than for the extent of iis woolen manufactures. The candidate began operations by buying all the stock that was ready for the market, intimating that he should want as much once 8 month for exportation. This was splen- did-920, ,0OO every month, and the Lon don market untouched. Such 8 mem- Der would be invaluable to the town, and he was accordingly elected. So soon as he had thanked the constituency, and with tears in his eyes assured them that the honest, manly struggle they had made to rescue their town from the domination of the vile Radicals should never be effaced from his memory, he started off for town, and sold off all his woolens at an abatement of two and 8 half per cent, on the cost price, thus securing his seat at the moderate price of G50O, and forestalling the market aga1nst his independent constituency for 8 month to come. The latter were furious, and pretty plainly hinted that if the man of their unbought choice ever again showed h1s nose within the limits of their burough, his head would be made familiar with the solidity of their brickbats.

Increase of Bees by Division.

An exchange gives the following ad, vice concerning the increase of colonies by dividing:
 Dividing bees when properly done is much better plan for increase than to allow them to swarm naturally. But improperly done, it has been the ruina- tion of many an apiary, for it seems al- most impossible to convince some peo- pie that success depends on the strength of the colonies and not numbers. The better plan is to wait until the bees are making preparations to cast 8 swarm, and then they can be divided with benefit. When you find they are mak- ing ready or have queen cells capped, then divide. Take frame of honey, bees, brood, and the queen, hang in an empty hive, fill up with frames of comb or founnation. Move the old hive to 8 new location, placing the new hive con- taining the queen on the old stand, and the work is done. Nearly all of the old bees and those in the fields at work will return to the old stand, which now con- tains the new hive, and make quite 8 colony. The young matching bees will soon fill up the old hive. The empty place from which you removed the frame of brood and the queen should be filled with frame of comb or founda- tion, for if an empty frame be hung in place the bees will fill it with drone comb. This work should be done in the middle of the day when the larger part of the bees are in the fields. Noth- ing can be done for seven or eight days with the old hive. By that time they will have capped the queen cells if the cells were capped at the time of divid ing they will need looking after sooner than this. The queen will hatch in fif- teen days from an egg. When the young queens are ready to hatch, all queen cells should be removed but one; those removed can be used in nuclei previously prepared, or given to colo nies divided few days in advance of the matching queens. If no other colo nies are ready to divide make nuclei by taking two or three frames of brood and bees from prosperous colonies and to them give the matching cells. The nuclei should be made the day previous, as they will then more readily accept the cells. Young queens will hatch and become fertile while occupying these nucleus colonies, and can then be built up from other colonies or be given to di- vided swarms, keeping the old colonies together and at work until the young queens are ready.

ssWhere the Old Man Fit.0

A farming looking gentleman of about fifty, carrying an old-fashioned valise in his right hand, stopped in front of the Planters House at about 6:30 last evening and asked if 'sthem ticket of- fices' were all shut An answer in the affirmative was given, with the sugges- tion that he could buy ticket at the Union Depot.
 "No, stranger" said he, 'that won't do. They don't sell excursion tickets at the Union Depot until tomorrow. I'm going to Yorktown, and want an excursion ticket"
 "Ah, you're going to the celebration, are you--quite distance? You must be very patriotic.
 "Wen, yes, it's quite distance, es- pecially as I've travelled 300 miles al- ready. ain't very patriotic, to speak of, either; but my folks were in that scrimmage-at least my granddad was, and I thought I'd just run down and look around to see where the old man fit--that's all.--St. Louis Globe Dena- OcrQt

How to Pack Plants when Travelling

It IS not SO difficult to preserve living plants as it might seem at first sight 1: and if we have a garden, however small, in which to cultivate them, there is no reason why living floral relics should not be treasured up as carefully as dead ones.
 It is not necessary to have specially prepared boxes to transport our speci- mems. No doubt these are useful enough in their way, but few would care to go to the expense of buying them, or the trouble of adding them to the lug gage, which, as a rule, is always an inn pediment in travelling.
 All that is wanted is some stout colored calico and a needle and thread
 The process to be followed is simple enough. Take the plant you wish to preserve; cover the roots with earth sufficient to keep them from getting calico, and fold it round and round the plant, leaving the stems and leaves free When the roots and earth are quite covered Up, sew the ends of the calico together with strong thread, taking care not to draw the calico too tight over the roots, for fear of stifing them. Place the plants when sewn up in 8 soup plate, and keep them damp; but do not give too much water, as it would rot the calico. When travelling, the little parcels can be slowed away in 8 basket, or, if fairly dry, in trunk among ordinary clothes, the simple ex- pedient of sewing them up in this man. ner doing away with all fear of making mess with wet earth.
 If the above directions are carried out, plants can be- brought very long distances, and kept out of the ground for weeks, without suffering any harm.
