YORK, % we'll assin other financial
csnters east of the divide, there ex-
let societies which conduct banks

One Of these societies, peehaps the
most Important among them, Is
the Irish Emigrant Society of New

report of the sfRcers of the associa-
tien Happears that during its sx-
istence bills Of exchange to the
amount of $27,2l4,97O have been
issued, and that all this money
has been sent abroad. This soci-
ETY. sends only q small portion Of
the money transmitted to Europe
annually from the city Of New

in many other ways, public and
q private-through, banks and pri-
vate banks, through the post office,
both in drafts and in bank-notes OF

sent, these bank.notes being on

In this way the aggregate of the

would remark, '.of. no conse-

entirely due. Democrats in gen.
srai, and the gentlemen whose
votes were recorded on y certain
recent occasion at Washington in
particular, are not, nor were they
ever, in sympathy with the move
ment. but are actually rehearsing
to defeat any further measure for
relief.
To an impartial person with q
tolerably ietentive memory and
an inquiriDg turn OF mind this
extraordinary statement would ap.
pear to be slightly incorrect. We

that the temporary defeat OF the

Estates Is entirely tue to Republic.

Page hasbeen. Wegiye the Repub-

1t now appears that the kilograms
announcing the unconditional re-

founded. Mr.. Psrnell has been re-
leased on parole. Tor one week, in
order that he may visit his sister In
Paris, whose only child had died.
In granting the favor, at the re-

pFobable that the English govern

tho opportunity to withdraw from
nm embarrassing situation. 1t may
be that, on his ofSeri ng, as he I'M

prison, the authorities may order
him to be released uncondition-

been convinced that, In the i'm.
prisonment Of Mr.. Parnell and his

made. The English people after

Cocoa and Chocolate.

Probably few of our readers, while
drinking these favorite bevera Ses, have
ever thought to ask how the plant pro-
ducing them grows. Yet its culture
forms a large part of industry, not
only of the great Amazonian valley,
but of other portions of tropical South
America.
The cocoa (Theobron,o cacao)-the
name signifying "food of the gods
is a small tree, or rather large bush,
seldom exceeding fifteen feet in height,
although we have seen very old trees
which were thirty feet high. 1t has
large, oblong, taper-pointed leaves,
which, when young, are rosy and very
beautiful. The flowers are small,
fragrant, yellowish, and are borne in
clusters on the trunk and larger branch
es. The fruit is about twelve inches
long, varying, however, greatly in size,
and about five broad it is obloug,
blunt, and is marked with ten elevated
ribs running lengthways, and is, when
ripe, of bright orange yellow, with
hard shell. Although authorities
state that the fruit contains from fifty
to one hundred seeds, we have never
been able to find one containing fifty /;
the average is from thirty to forty FIVE.
These seeds are embedded in a white,
semi acid pulp, and in size and shape
somewhat resemble almonds; it is
from these seeds that the cocoa and
chocolate of commerce are prepared.
The fruit is, when ripe, gathered by
hand, and broken transversely by a
large knife; the mass of pull and seed
is taken out, and is either left for day
to slightly ferment, or is at once put
into "tipici'' and pressed almost dry
it is then dried from one to three days
in the sun, and is then ready for mar
ket. A ''tipici" is tube of wicker
work, about eight feet long, with Q
diameter of about ten inches; the toy
is open, and at each end there is {
loop the tube is filled with any sub
stance to be pressed, hung upon peg
or branch by the upper loop, while {
lever, upon which woman sits, is in
serted in the lower loop, the tub
contracts, and the juice runs on
through the interstices.
| The juice running from the "tipici
is called "vinho da cacao,' or swine o
cocoa" and is a most refreshing an,
delicious drink; it is slightly acid
aromatic, and possesses flavor es
pecially its own. Unfortunately,
soon ferments, and can be preserved il
its freshness for only a single day; b,
boiling, however, fermentation
checked, but all the delicate aroma @
the wine is lost 1t is almost worth
voyage across the Atlantic to drin
the wine of cocoa in its FRESHNESS
This drink is very healthy, and on
can consume an immense quantity. I
superior white vinegar is also prepare
from the cocoa. The juice is ais
boiled down into a sauce which in cole
and taste much resembles Shake
apple-sauce; and most delicious an
, ber-colored jelly, far superior TO guav
: jelly, is made from the wine, fror
which also a strong and very higl
favored brandy is distilled. Tn
husks contain large amount of potash
and are burned to yield lye which
used in making soap. Great quaint
ties of the Cocoa fruit are annually de
stroyed by monkeys and parrots, whic
are very fond of the seed.-Americd,

Effect Of Heat on Hogs.

Pigs generally gain very little during
the summer on account of the neglect
on the part of their owners to provide
for their comfort. In some cases their
skin cracks open by the influence of the
direct rays of the sun, and sores are
formed which are infested by insects.
The large amount of fat contained in
the body of the hog renders it impa-
tient of heat, and means should be pro-
vided for rendering the animal as cool
as possible. The pasture in which hogs
are kept should be well supplied with
water. not only for drinking but for
cooling purposes. If there are no nat
ural streams or ponds there should be
pools made in which they can wallow if
they desire. They should have plenty
of grass and other green food, as well
as sour milk and slops. Corn aud other
heating articles of food should be fed
sparingly. Cooling shade is essential
to the comfort and well being of hogs
during the hot days of summer. Far.
mers who have the advantage of groves
and forests located on the banks OF
streams and rivers, or on the shores of
lakes, generally have little trouble dur
ing the summer. The ground protected
by the trees and bushes remains cool
and moist even when that exposed to
the rays of the sun is parched and hot.
The streams aud ponds afford water
for drinking and bathing The hog is
a cleanly animal when it is allowed
tair chance. If hog pasture contains
no natural shade or water they should
be provided. Water can be conducted
through pipes from springs and wells
at small expense and made to suppl,
pools and watering troughs. Shades
can be afforded by planting trees ol
erecting sheds covered with straw or run
ming vines
