The WRoNG CoRPsE. The friends
of Mrs. L. L. Kouns, who was lost on
the ill.fated Golden City, were greatly
shocked last week on discovering that
the body that was sent here two weeks
ago as that Of that unfortunate lady
was that Of another person. We
learn that when the remains arrived
il was thought best that her husband,
Capt Kouns, should not see them be-
fore interment. The next day or two
thereafter the iewelry found upon the
remains brought here was received by
Capt. X. but which he failed TO re-
cognize as that Of his wife. This led
to disinterment of the body, aud it
was then discovered that the lady
taken for Mrs Kouns was between
forty and fifty years Of age, and that
she had lost four Of her front teeth;
and it was well known that the teeth
of Mrs. Kouns we're perfectly sound at
the time when she went aboard the

Sale of Fine Jersey Cattle.

Mr.. l.. j. Rhym' S, of Crystal
Springs, recently sold to Judge
Cooper, of Jackson, two fine blooded
Jersey hcifers, also fine bull to Mr..
Keithley near this place. People
generally, seem to DO taking more in
terest in fine blooded stock, which is
a good sign.
1t is only a few years since 1t was
believed that fine cattle would not
live and flourish in the South. But
such fogy notions have been set aside
long since. With our mild winters
and an abundance Of superior grasses
which grow SO luxurantly here, we
don't see why all kinds of stock can't
be raised cheaper here than farther
north. Fine stock require more at
tention, but then they are just as
remunerative, as there is greater
demand for them when it comes to
sell them,

FLORIDA CRATE.

We received recently from G. w.
Barnett & Bro, of Chicago, a straw
berry crate which is so thoroughly
ventilated that Strawberries reached
Chicago, via New York, from Florida,
In fine condition. The quarts in the
crate lest on sliding trays, while the
upright side pieces, with openings of
an inch or more, afford plenty of VEN
tililation. The crates ho'd 81 quarts,
eight more than the common crate.
The great objection to it is that the
lumber out of which it is made, is too
heavy, making the cost Of transporta-
ton rather high.
1t was sent TO us on trial and we
forwarded it back filed with straw
berries. We hope that we will be
able to make good report, as there
is nothing so wearisome as the con-
tinual reports of fruit reaching their
destination in bad condition.

The following paper was read before
the Bee-Keeper's Convention held re-
Gently at Lexington, KY, by Mrs. L..
Harrison
Bookkeeping although laborious
employment, demands 10 great outlay
of strength, ut one time. 1t embraces
the performance of many little items,
which require skill and gentieness,
more than muscle. The hand Of wo-
man from nature, habit and education,
has acquired an ease of motion, which
is agreeable to the sensibilities of bees,
and her breath is seldom obnoxious to
or beer. Women have demonstrated
that the making of hives and surplus
boxes Is no objection, as they have
purchased them in the fiat, nailed and
painted them. The hiving of swarms
Is neither more difficult nor dangerous,
than the washing Of windows or milk
ing. The right time TO extract honey,
or to put on or take off surplus, re-
quires no more tact or skill to deter
mine, than the proper fermentation OF
bread, or the right temperature OF the
oven required for baking. She is in
her allotted sphere while raising
queens and nursing weak colonies, or
caring for the honey when off the hive.
The most powerful argument in view
of the suitableness of bookkeeping for
women is this: That 1t Is something
she can do at home, and not interfere
with her domestic duties. Many wo-
men of small means have young chill
dren depending upon their eXertions
for support, and remunerative work to
be performed at home, brings very
little in the market Of to-day. For
instance, the making Of overafls at
cents pair and shirts at so cents per
dozen. She is compelled to accept
less paythan men. for the same SER
vice performed. We had friend
chosen as principal Of school on ac-
count of her efficiency, but she was
compelled to accept lower wages than
her predecessor. who was man, and
dismissed for his incompetency. But
we have never found n dealer .unscru-
pulous enough to offer less for pound
Of honey, because 1t was produced by
a woman.

HistOry of the Tomato.

A good many years ago "A man who
had recently arrived from the Der
nIuda Islands was sent Ia York
county, Pa, Jail for some olIense COM
mitted against the laws of the Com
seeds which he planted in the rich
soil of the jail yard. Before the plants
which sprung from the seeds reached
maturity, he was discharged, and no
one knew the name or nature of them.
They grew luxurianily, bearing fruit
of a large size and unusual appear
ance. AS that strange fruit ripened,
its color changed from a green to a
brilliant red, and became an object of
wonder and admiration to all the in
mates OF the Jail. Mrs. Klinefcler, the
lady keeper, cautioned all the prison
ers against eating any Of the fruit, as
she was sure 1t was poisonous, and
she would endeavOr to preserve speci-
mems of it for him who planted the
seeds should he return in time.
Just when the fruit was fully
matured the Bermuda prisoner revis-
tied the Jail and asked to see the plant.
This request granted, he next called
for salt, pepper and vinegar, and to
the horror of the good lady
commenced to eat of the supposed
poisonous fruit with relish that
astonished the beholders. After en-
joying the strange repast, he inform
ed Mrs. X. that the fruit or vegetable
was the tomato, or love apple, and it
would be found wholesome and nutrI-
tious. The seeds OF the remaining
tomatoes were carefully preserved
and distributed among the friends
and neighbOrs of the lady, and
thus this now popular esculent
was introduced into the ancient and
goodly borough Of York. For many
years thereafter it was cultivated as
an ornament rather than for table use,
but by degrees its merits began to be
more fully understood and appreciated,
and there as elsewhere, 1t grew into
general public favor.

CARP.
Frairie Farmer.

The Indiana Commissioner of Fish
cries, who lately went to Washington
to look after carp for his State returns
disappointed. He says that the carp
ponds yielded only about half the
small fry that was expected and that
the applications for them have been
three times as great as could be filled.
Through the Indiana Farmer he as
surts the people that he left nothing
undone to get first fruits of the season,
and had the generous support Of SEN
ators Voorhees, and Harrison. and the
entire delegation in the house of Rep
resentatives. He desires all to be
patient. In future Indiana will try
and raise her own carp. He thinks
that Prof. Baird, however, is to be
credited with having done everything
that could be done to supply the
country. 1t IL gratifying that 20
many of the fish have been distribut-
ed. Hereafter most OF the States will
have an ample supply Of their own.
1t will take but few years to place
these fish in the hands Of all who
want them.
