Senator Garland of Arkansas was APP
pealed to by Forest and Stream for di-
rections how to cook n 'possum. The

If you would boil the 'possum in salt

tender, and then brown him we'll in an
old'tashton oven or skillet, wherein
around his body goodIy number of
potatoes are baked and Drowned you
would have dish unrivalled and more
than oriental, and person who could
not relish it, whether he took the 'pos-
sum hot or cold, would have no celestial
lire In his soul, nor music either.' As
to whetehr a 'possum Is best eaten hot
or cold, the Senator confessed Inability
to decide "Sather than miss hin, en-

TREE CULTURE IN CALIFORNIA.

| [I'r"m tho San Francisco Chronicle.l
Eight year ago an cmigrint from an
Eastern State arrived in one of the bay
counties with his family and Il capital
Of $75. He had some knowledge OF
horticulture, and was a good practical
gardener. a capitalist who was the
owner of some comparatively useless
land, contracted with this emigrant for
planting and tending forty acres of this
land in Australia gums or eucalyptus.
The breaking, fencing, planting, and
labor On the land cost the owner So, 600.
At the end of tho first year he had
$4,000 thrifty trees and the second year
he set out the shaded ground in pasture,
which retained its verdnre nearly
throughout the entire twelve months,
showing a denser growth from year to
year. At the beginning of the third
year he utilized this pasture for dairy
cows, aud found it strong enough TO
support two cows to the acre. He
estimated its value for this use at -
per month per acre for eight months
out of twelve or S32 per year per acre.
The total yearly profit from this source
was 81 $50.
AT the end of the eight year he
was offered in cash by the keeper of
II wood yard thirty cents each for his
trees, or $3.50 per acre, the purchaser to
pay all the cost of cutting and re-
moving the timber. The total value
was Sc, 600 but in the mean time the
owner of the land had had i've years
use of the pasture which by his own
close estimate, was worth to him Sc 900
This makes the grand total of gross
earnings i'll eight years $4,000. from
this must be t.educed $4,000 paid out
for the nursery plants, fencing aud labor
and an expense of $500 for water for
irrigation during the first two years,
leaving net income of 800. or
1857 30 per acre for the eight years, or
S3G per acre for one year.

IMPROVING AFRICA:
New York Tribune.1


The ambitious project of turning the
waters of the ocean into the Sahara
Desert aud thus converting it into IL
vast inland sea never got beyond tho
theoretical stage, aud did not stay there
long in tho f,co of the assertions of
many African travellers that tho greater
part Of the surface of the desert il. above
the level Of high tide. Now the French
who are at present taking tho lead in
schemes of African development, have
in contemplation II similar project, but
one on much smaller scale and of
undoubted practicabiiity. 1t is to max Q
big salt lake in the low desert lands
south of the settlements of AIsiers and
Tunis BY means Of Il canal from the
Mediterranean. The lake would cut
Off the predatory tribes of Arabs that
inhabit the mountainous region beyond
the desert, and serve as II strong mill
tary frontier for the French colonists,
Probably the cost OF the canal would be
made up in few years by the reduc-
ton in the army expenses ofdefcnding
the present frontier. At the head Of
this enterprise, as tho reader win
readily surmise, is the Count dc I.cssops.
Every French canal scheme nova
days turns to this remarkable engineer
as its natural chief, making 40 account
of the fact that he has already passed
by six years the psalmist's limit of
three score and ten.

PUBLIC LsDeER oyTroH,


The Manhattan Bank continues to
flourish in a financial sense, and has
declared a dividend of four per cent
on its capital stock. 1t was omitted
from the midsummer dividend list
yesterday by an oversight, but it is
pleasant to allude to it to day and
also to the fact that the value of its
stock is steadily approaching in the
hlnds of owners. All of our local
banks have made dividends since the
first of the month, also one insurance
company, with others to hear from,
and the total cash dividends already
declared and yet to be added, will be
likely to exceed $l25, 600 The semi
ann ual interest on the Masonic Hall
bonds is in course of payment at the
First National Bank, Of this city.
The local financial market is well
supplied with capital, and loansbe
funds are to be obtained by solvent
borrowers at from 9 to 8 per cent, ac-
cording to the character OF the seou-
rity they may be able to offer,

Photography is dangerous voca-
ton in Burmah. Not long ago two
Armenian ladies attached to the Court
of Mandelay went to Calcutta for the
purpose of acquiring this art, and i'm
mediately upon their return were
commanded by the sable Queen to
furnish her with proof of their skill
by reproducing her royal person. All
went we'll and the artists were con
graduating themselves upon her
Majesty's future favor when suddenly,
to their great astonishment, the
Queen, who.was inspecting the picture,
flew into a violent passion. 1t was
found that one of the innumerahle
pOodles which swarm about the court
had strayed into the room and appeared
in the picture side by side with the
Queen of Burmah. This proclamation
was intolerable. Rough hands wore
at once laid upon the two artists, and
when last heard of they were still in
durance vile, pending the decision Of
the question as to whether such a
fragrant insult to royalty could be
expiated by any lighter punishment
than decapitation.
