Black walnut can be grown from the

growth in that period of time in our
northern climate. Naples require
twenty years before they become good
timber trees; beeches and birches, fif-
teen years to attain TO diameter large
enough to yield nine-inch boards; hck-
DRY should have II growth Of thirty
years; and cherry at least as much.
The cultivation of the black walnut
might be made source of profit, if
only as nm auxiliary to the ordinary
farm products. 1t requires no particu-
lar care, makes an elegant tree even
in its youth, and later offers an agree
able shade. The Sesoing Machine Jour-
nal says: am
''One hundred acres of land, seeded
to walnut trees, if they even reach ma
turity in fifteen years, would be more
remunerativc than many of the crops
produced by fifteen years of incessant
toll. Besides, these trees might be
planted and would thrive on spots
which are really valueless for agricul-
tural purposes, and while in the course
of growth would serve as valuable aids
to agriculture as wind breaks and in
other respects

These Industrious heathens have by
care and toll transformed unsightly
hillsides into fertile tracks covered with
every variety of vegetables, which
bring their owners very handsome re-
turns. They are all at work digging and
manuring and opening up fresh ground;
everything is utilized; even the bones
are pounded up and fed to the hens,
and each little cabin has n dozen fat
hogs, which at the present price of
pork represents II considerable amount.
Surely it seems that "a people who are
thus skilled in the noble science of hus-
bandry do not deserve to be called
heather. They may not worship the
same God as do their brothers of the
white race, but the latter might well
profit by the examples they set in thrift
and industry.

THE LORD MAYORS BANQUET.

Sir. Gladstone Expresses Himself on the
Egyptian, French and Irish Questions.
LONDON, Aug. s.-The lord mayors ban
quet to the ministers took place at the Mali
sion House this evening. Mr.. Gladstone, ris-
ing to respond to the toast, Her Majesty's
Ministers" was greeted with prolonged cheer
ing After expressing his thanks, Mr. Glad
stone sketched recent public events He said
the government had gone to Egypt in an I'M
selfish spirit, and desired simply to accelerate
reform there 1t was felt that too much haste
might spoil the work. When the views of
the government in this respect were accom-
plished, the British would disappear from the
country. He said nothing would he more
grateful to every one of the ministers than
the early and successful accomplishment of
the grand movement towards reform in
Egypt. In regard to the Tama-
tase affair." Mr.. Gladstone said the
government had received fuller
adyices from Madagascar confirming the hope
that no difficulty existed which could notbe
solved by the generous and honorable dispo-
sition which should always exist, especially
between France and England. He now felt
even sanguinely confident that nothing
would disturb their long accord. Mr.. Glad
stone continuing said he was thankful TO be
able TO report great change in the eondi-
ton of affairs in Ireland. The authority of
law, he said, had been reasserted, and peace
and security prevailed. The dark dens of
assassination had been suppressed, and the
confidence which had united their unhappy
frequenters had been in large degree de-
stroyed. Deep gratitude was due to the AL
mighty, and to the Lord Lieutenant and
Chief Secretary. He believed the end of the
session would show that fair amount of
work had been achieved. The government
hoped much in the future from its new sys-
TEN of grand committees.

Hand-Ma,l. irish Lace.

Irish lace is all handmade, either with
needle, hook, cushion, or the well-known
tattingshuttle. Some of the most intricate
and delicate of what is known as Irish point
comes from Youghal, Cork's favnrite water
ing-place, where it IS taught by the nuns of
the Presentation Convent. Gnipure crochet
lace is taught by the Ursulines at Blackjack,
and fine crotchet by the Sisters nj Mercy at
Clonakilty. Many families are supported by
this industry, a single worker in very fine
material sometimes earning as much as 50
per week. The finer qualities of Irish
crochet lace cannot be exeeled for richness
and durability, while the coarser varieties
have certain sprawley effect which is not
pleasing. Limerick lace, which is produced
by needle upon net in black, white or tinsel
is cheaperlooking lace, although in broad

Pepper as a oondiment.


The complementary value of pepper stands
very high, and among European people, En-
glish are perhaps the most addicted to pep
per This condimentary spice may be pro-
cured under the two designations of white
and black pepper, the distinction, however,
not being in the botany, but in the mode of
preparation. Black and white pepper come
from the same plant. All pepper is black
originally, but the blackness resides in
superficial skin. If the berry be ground
entire. then, of course, the powder will be
dark-colored; but if the cuticle he removed
previous to grinding, then the powder will
have tint more or less. approaching
white, though never quite white-in
this consists the only difference between
white and black pepper. The black pepper
plant is indigenous to the East and West
Indies, and it also grows in Sumatra, Java
and other islands of the Indian Archipelago.
Two crops of berries are produced in the
year, but the season of ripening is very ir-
regular. If wholly unadnlterated pepper is
required, it should be bought whole and
ground in a domestic mill. Bought in a state
of powder it is almost invariably adulterated,
special ingredients being sold for this pur-
pose. The two chief are known in commerce
as 2. ID. and ID. 7. D., the first sgnifying
pepper dust" and the second dirt of pep
per dust" Both may be described as the
sweepings. more or less contaminated, of the
warehouses in which pepper is stored In
addition to the ordinary peppers (black and
white) OF domestic use, there is another kind
called long pepper The fruit OF this sort is
not shaped as berries, but as elongated cylin-
ders with rounded ends. 1t is of more use,
however, as an Ingredient of cattle medicines
than as a condiment for human stomachs.

Bernard, charged with abstracting papers
and securities representing several millions
of francs from the episcopal palace of the
diocese of Tourney, tine counsel for defend
ant declared that his client had document
from the Pope which empowered him to take
the measures he deemed lest to conceal the
treasure. He could not have supposed such
an order meant that he was only to conceal
it in Tourney. Canon Bernard. he said, had
been made the scapegoat for Bishop Rous-
seaux, who had written him while he was in
New York virtually ordering him to continue
to conceal the funds. Bishop Rousseaux be-
heved he could avoid meeting in court the
claims of Mgr. Dumont, former bishop of
the diocese, by sending the funds beyond
reach OF the Judicial powers If be had oeen
successful he would have Unidentified Canon
Bernard who had merely attempted an eva
sion of the civil law, and had not committed
criminal offense. The case has caused
very painful feeling in religious circles.
