The committee shaving the matter in
charge appeal to the humane and charitable
to purchase tickets and attend on an occa-
sion which will be pleasant and profitable
to themselves, and render relief 20 widows
and orphans whose pitcous cries for help
should meet prompt and liberal response.
The entire proceeds will be placed in the
hands of the local committee ut Coalfeld,
to whom all other funds are being paid,
and whose high character guarantee wise

SCoTCHTowN, HANOVER,
February Z, 1882.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
| have been asked by several gentlemen
for information regarding the name OF the
disorder which is prevalent now among
horses i'm Richmond and the surrounding
counties-the pinkeye-and | hope this
NAV serve for the enlightenment Of all
those who, failing to notice any discolora-
ton OF the feature. are at loss to discover
propriety i'm the name OF the disease.
The first mention Of it that have found
is in "Coe's Farrier," London, 1853. The
author Of this, Thomas Coe. mentions the
disease and its effects in his own county
(Kent) in 1850, but is naturally more con-
cerned with the remedy for the evil-being
q veterinary surgeon-than about etymo-
logical questions connected with its name.
In Horman's Vulgaria, 1st edition, Lon
don. 1919, page SO, is this expression
"Some have mighty yies, and some be
m;nibuS quiddm petit" from which the
distinction between "mighty yies" and
pink eyes is plain enough. His distinction
is strengthened 10y remembering the fact
that the French equivalent for the name OF
our HONcT, TIC PUN, u OtIiict' vi Iltlc wye.
! recollect distinctly having seen in
note in the Variorum Shakespeare, or in
Mr.. Mares Glossary, the old expression,
Ito pink and wink" and the explanation
that it meant to contract the muscles Of the
eyeld and peer through the narrowed
opening; hence comes the expression
"pinky," even now applied to a man in
liquor, abiding TO the haf-closed condi-
ton of his eyes. This epithet is peculiarly
appropriate to the God OF Wine, to whom
Shakespeare gives it:
" Come, thou monarch of the vine:
Plumpy Bacchus with pnk-eyne."

EARLY AGRICULTURE Iartlib, the friend
Of Milton, pensioned by Cromwell for bis
agricultural writings, says that old men in
his days remembered the first gardeners
that came over to Surrey, and sold turnips,
carrots, parsnips, early peas, and rape,
which were then great rarities, being i'm
ported from Holland. Cherries and hops
were first planted, he says, in the reign Of
Henry Will; artichokes and currants
made their appearance in the time of Eliza
beth; but even ut the end OF this latter Pc
nod we had cherries from Flanders :;
onions, satl'rons, and licOrice from Spain,
and hops from the Low Countries. Pota-
toes, which were first known in the British
islands at about the year 1886, continued
for nearly a century TO be cultivated in gar
dens IA curious exotic, and furnished
luxury only for tables Of the richest per.
sons in the Kingdom. 1t appears in the
manuscript account OF the hosisehOid ex-
penses OF Queen Anne, wife q James l.,
that the price Of potatoes was then one
shilling per pound.
