Norfolk is now the largest peanut
market in the world, except Marseilles,
France, and the peanut trade here has
grown to be an important feature sf
our commerce, Besides numerous
commission houses, whore they arc
handled, We have two largo cleaning
establishments which employ some
two hundred hands and have q capacity
for cleaning about one thousand bush
els per day. Tho cleaning process is
simple. The peanuts are first placed
in large revolving drum, which takes
of the dirt and the rough surface.
Thence they are passed through brushes

ton, about whic. It number of hands
stand and assert item as they come
along, picking out the faulty ones and
allowing%ac choics peas 70 find their
My insO7buBH.
The peanut is native Of Africa,
though it has never had the advantage
of an emancipation act and is still
bought and sold as a commercial COM
modify. 1t has, however, materially
improved it's condition by coming to a
civilized country and ID now much
larger and daintier than its African
brother, or, lot us say, progenitor.
The African article was once largely
imported to this country, but it is no
longer fayorite with us and an invoice
Of African peas shipped to New York
last year was not marketable. The
variety now fluids its market ia Mar
settles, where it and the Indian cotton
seeds are manufactured into olive oil
and imported to this county, so that
in point Of fact the African pea
does find its way to Amer still.
Seriously, it is little singular tina.
the war which was wagedfor the eman-
cipation OF the black man should have
brought tho peanut into prominence.
Up to this time peanuts were not
grown to any appreciable extent as an
article Of traffic, and the commercial
value is post bellum. The Yankees
tasted the dainty nut during the war
aud while they did not become so fas-
cinatod with It's delicate flavor us did
the soldiers OF Xenophon with the lotos,
they fell so much in love with il as an
article Of diet that as soon rs they re-
turned to their homes in the north
they began toclamor for it, and the
southern farmer turned his attention
from the negro to hisneighbor, the pea
nut, aud soon tho growing of peanuts
came to be great industry in portions
of Virginia, North Carolina and Ten
neasee.

To the Editor Of the New York Herald.
NEW York, November 81, 1882. The
late electrical storm which has swept
over the northern temperate zone has
given mo the courage to address you
upon theory which have held for
many years. In conversation with the
late Capt, Hall, few days before he
sailed ON his Inflated voyage in the
polaris, he Thought it of sufficient inn
portauce TO ask me to communicate it
to some well.known scientist. This my
diifidence has hitherto forbade me
doing. My theory is this: That tho
earth, in its diurnal motion, throws OF
toward the poles great deal OF cleo
tricity, which has been generated to M
extent more than required to keep mp
the equilibrium, and that therefore the
magnetic poles and their surroundings
become snrcharged with dense mass
of electricity in quiescent state
though not so in fact the word will an
swer my meaning --aud thus become, as
IT were, the Leyden jars OF tho earth,
from which from time to time as re.
quired the requisite amount OF electric.

evolved. For instance. when the sun
withdraws from the Northern Hemis.
phere the electrical generating influence
is to certain extent wanting, and
comparative vacuum exists. This res
eryoir supplies the deficiency and the
electricity rushes in, very much like
wind in a cyclone toward the central
vacuum, with this difference, that it Il
not rotary In action, the torrid zone and
its northern border being evidently
never exhausted OF electric currents
and yet not being sufficiently charged
