BANANAS AND PLANTAINs.

A pound of bananas contains more
nutriment than three pounds Of meat of
as many pounds of potatoes, while as a
food it is in every sense of the word far
superior to the best wheaton bread.
Although it grows spontaneously
throughout the tropics, when cultiva-
ted its yield is prodigious, for an acre
of ground planted with bananas will re-
turn, according to Humboldt, as much
food material as thirty-three acres Of
wheat or over 100 acres of potatoes.
The banana, then, is the bread of mil
lions who could not subsist without it.
In Brazil it is the principal food of the
laboring classes, while it is no less
priced in the island of Cuba. Indeed,
in the latter country the sugar planters
grow orchards of it expressly for the
consumption of their slaves. Every
day each hand receives his ration Of
salt fish or dried beef, as the case may
be. and four bananas and two plantains.
The banana-it should be called plan
tain, for until lately there was no such
word as bananas divided into seve-
raj varieties, all of which are used for
food. The PLANTING mauzanito is a
small, delicate fruit, neither longer nor
stouter than lady's forefnger. 1t is
the most delicious and priced Of all the
varieties of the plantain. El platino
guineo, called by us the banana, is
probably more in demand than any
other kind. 1t is subdivided into diff
ferent varieties, the principal Of which
are the yellow and purple bananas we
see for sale in our market but the
latter is so little esteemed by the ma
tiyes of the tropics that it is seldom
eaten by them. Ell PLANTING grande-
known to us as simply the plantain-is
also subdivided into varieties which are
known by their SAVIOR and their size.
The kind that reaches our market is al
most ten inches long, but on the 18th
mus of Darien there are plantains that
grow from eighteen to twenty-five in
ches. They are never eaten raw, but
are either boiled or roasted or are pre-
pared as preserves.

TERRAPIN.

George w. Peck, Of the milwaukee,
San, was in Baltimore recently, anC
thus describes his first interview will
stewed terrapin: "You, my deal
Christian friends, away up North
where mock turtle soup is an inspira
tion, and canned oysters a dish fit fol
Northern gods, do not know what ter
rapin and oysters are. A Southern
god, that is, a Baltimore god, would
no sooner touch mock turtle soup thar
he would touch crow. The people al
Baltimore never tasted of an oyster
that had been out of the shell more
than minute. Terrapin is an insect
that resembles our land turtle Of the
North, in size, and in having a shell,
but there the resemblance ceases. Ter
rapin is no more like mud turtle of the
North than a soft shell crab is like a
bed bug. Terrapin is dug out Of two
feet of mud at the bottom Of Chesa-
peake bay, as 1 understand it, and is
favored like canvas back duck with
patchouli sauce. Terrapin is protected
by the game law, and it is misdemea-
nor to cook one smaller than five inches
long, and man would be fined for vio-
lating the law as quick as he would for
rObbing a bank. The loyal Baltimor-
con is taught to believe that eating ter
rapin is a religious astronomical duty,
and his idea of heaven is one where
terrapin and canvas back duck are as
thick as three in the bed. A stranger
who would deliberately say that he did
not like terrapin, would be arrested on
suspicion. l had never eaten any ter
rapin before, and really did not like it,
but when the host talked about the in
sect, and how it was cooked, and what
a delicacy it was, and how the intes-
tines were cooked with it, and how the
eggs Of the terrapin were cooked too,
and the feet, and the toe nails, and
tail, and head, and how little wine
improved it, 1 said to myself, 4" A man
who does not like terrapin is a son-of-a-
gum and 1 ate three dishes of it, and
said it was the best thing 1 ever ate.
This shows the power of the mind over
the body. Iknew, plain enough, that
the whole of one of those mud turtles,
everything inside the shell, had been
boiled up into "boo-yaw," and L
could see the little intestines floating
around in the essence, and if I had
been at home and anybody had tried
to fire stewed mud turtle into my vital
parts 1 should have resented it, but
gentleman whom 1 had every reason
to believe knew what he was talking
about told me it was mighty good eat
ing, and went through it like tramp
through plate Of corned beef and
cabbage

LOVES WILD IMAGINING

To-day the winter woods are wet,
And chill with airs that miss the sun
The autumn of the year is done.
Its leaves all fallen, its flower star SET
Its frosty hours begun.
Should last years gold narcissus yearn
For next Years roses, oh how vain
No brief dead flowers arise again,
But each sweet little life in turn
Must shoot, and bloom, and wane.
Sweet, had the years that slip so fast
Brought you too soon or me TOO late,
How had we gnashed our teeth at tate,
And wandered down to death at lasJ
Forlorn, disconsolate!
Surely before the stars were sure,
Before the moon was set in Heaven,
Your unborn soul to mine was given,
Your clear, white spirit, rare ana pure,
For me was formed and shriVen.
All! surely no time ever was
When we were not; and our souls light
Made these cold spaces infinite
That lie between the years like glass,
Seen only in Gods sight.
HOVER it be, my one desire,
If chance has brought us face to face,
Or if the schemes of things found place
To store our twin hearts light and fire
In strange forseeing grace
HOVER it be, for us at least,
The woodland pathways are not dark,
New lights are on the boughs and bark,
And in the rainless sunshot east

IN a LETTER.

There came a breath out Of distant time,
An odor of neglected gardes where
Unnun,bered roses once perfumed the air
Through summer days, in childhood's happy
cline Ichime
There came the salt scent of the sea, and
OF waves againgt the beaches or the bare,
Gaunt rocks; as to the mind, half unaware,
Recur the words of some familiar rhyme.
And as above the gardens and the sea
The moon arises, and her silver light
Touches the landscape with deeper grace,
So DER the misty wraiths of memory,
Turning them into pictures clear and bright,
Rose in a halo the beloved face.

EBB AND FLOW.

The tide slips up the silver sand
Dark night and rosy day;
1t brings sea treasures to the land,
Then bears them all away.
On mighty shores from east to west,
1t walls, and gropes, and cannot rest.
o Tide, that still doth ebb and flow
Through night to golden day;
Wit. learning, beauty, come and go,
Thou giv'sf, thou takst away.
But sometime, on some gracious shore,
Thou shalt lie still and ebb no more.

MURRAY ON MUSTANGS.

The Rev. W. III. H. Murray writes enthusiast
tically to the Boston Herald that Texas is Just
the place for horse breeding, and that the tough
little mustangs are the right stock to take hold
of for improvement. He declares that they trace
their origin back to a race of equine kings and
queens" and have only deteriorated under hard
usage. "Ihaveseen these little 8OO-pound horses"
he says, travel eighty miles, with 18O-pound
man upon them, under Southern sun, in ride
across the country, without roadways from sun
to sun, and that, too, on little grain, perhaps
nothing but the grass they get from the prairie
at night. Many of them pace-pace like the
wind-pace so fast that they play with you-on
the prairie, though you have bloOded mount
that can run like greyhound Others trot-
trot naturally-with stiles out and perfect knee
action, and will do nothing but trot, however
hard pressed. / have raced through the prairie
grasses and flowers at the rump Of mustang
stallion 49, hands high, and blood bay in color
with tail as black as night and that would
sweep the ground foot, and been unable to
break him from his trot or range up to his side
although my mount was three-quarter bred
mare of 1000 pounds weight, that took to the
chase with her eyes blazing and ears laid back
in way that plainly told her rider that she felt
a good deal as he did" Mr.. Murray advises
cross from thoroughbred stallion, believing that
it would increase the size without losing tough
ness, and produce the best saddle horses as well
as trotters.

CHOLERA MORBUS,

Cholera morbus is about the meanest thing a
man can have and the easiest thing he can get
1t lies around loose and jumps on person with
out any previous warning, and once on it rides
until it gets tired. 1t comes like a thief in the
night, and steals mans sleep and his peace of
mind at the same time. 1t falls on the just and
the unjust, and no one knows at what hour of
around after Jamaica ginger to pour on the
troubled ice water he has drank during the day
Verify, all is vanity and vexation of spirit, but
the cholera morbus is more than this. There is
nothing on earth to equal it for genuine misery,
and we doubt if Hannibal could produce any
thing worse 1t starts from any where and trav-
els alone but it gets its work in as efectually as
if there was whole crowd. 1t is not citizen
of the United States but it summers here with
all the regularity of a poor relation. 1t is the
sworn enemy of temperance and the bosom
friend of the devil 1t will tackle any thing that
has life except a chronic bore and an English
sparrow, and they only escape because they are
blood relations. The man who can wrestle with
a healthy cholera mOrbus and retain his piety is
entitled to the finest harp on the golden shore
and a reserved seat in the celestial circle His
price is far above rubies and he is correspond
ingly rare article. This is about all we know
about cholera morbus, and as a sort of three-cor-
nered sensation is beginning to make itself felt

subject before it becomes painfuL-QuincyH Herald.

VALUATION.

The old squire said as they stood by the gate,
And his neighbor the deacon, went by:
" In spite of my bank stock and real estate,
You are better off than l.
Were both growing DID, and the ends drawing
near;
You have less of this world to resign,
But in heavens appraisal your assets fear,
Will reckon up greater than mine.
They say am rich, but I'm feeling poor,
wish could swop with you
The pounds have lived for and laid up in store
For the shillings and pence you have given"
Well, squire, said the deacon with shrewd common
sense
While his eyes had a twinkle of fun,
" Let your pounds take the way of my shngs and
pence

THE Hope OF THE GRANGE.-National Lee
turer Eshbaugh tersely states what he expects the
Order will accomplish, as follows Local agricul-
tural organizations have only local value and
interest. State organizations have value only to
certain ends and in certain directions. National
agricultural associations and agricultural con-
crosses may accomplish certain objects in certain
ways. But none of these will ever relieve the
farmers from bearing burdens of I'M Justice, nor
elevate them as class. The organization of
the Patrons of Husbandry is the only organiza-
ton, through it's work in the Grange, that will
ever secure justice to the farmers, and elevate
them to their rightful position The Grange is
therefore the all-important organization for the
farmers and they must sustain and stand by it's
pure principles.
SILK CULTURE.-The Cornith Mississippi Silk
Company is the name of company which has
Just been formed for the purpose of encouraging
the silk industry. They promise to purchase all
the cocoons which may be sent to them, giving
value for them according to their quality and in
order to disseminate the best breeds of worms
they have started farm, where eggs of first
quality will be raised, and sold at cost to all.
breeders
This is the only way in which silk culture can
become established. Let every farmer have a
small cocoonery and sell its proceeds to such
companies as the above. All silk culture
throughout the world is managed in this way
1t is kind of labor savings bank, where labor
otherwise of but little value can be utilized.

A New York mechanic has patented device
for laying telegraph wires underground The
novelty is in the method of insulation, the wire
being threaded through glass beads placed three
inches apart. By the use of the beads a large
bundle of the wires can be laid in an under
ground trough so that none of the wires will
touch. 1t is estimated that such wire could be
laid at cost of $50 mile
