Pepper.

The adulto1ation of spices used for
culinary purposes is almost as largely
practiced as the adulteration of drugs.
The pepper that forms part of every
meal, without which meats are unrel-
ished and vegetables insipid, in the
powdered state contains more wheat
flour, ground peas, ground mustard
husks, linseed meal, than the ground
pepper loses. The authorizations are
principally accomplished in England
and in this country. Black pepper is
product of Southern Asia. The pep
peI-yiuo is q perennial plant with q
round, smooth, woody stem, swelling
near the joints, branched, and from
eight to twelve feet in length. The
berries are gatehrel before they are
perfectly ripe. 1t is to this that their
shliyeled appearance is due. The an,
nual importation amounts to several
millions of pounds. White pepper IS
black pepper with the outer coat re-
moved. There is another variety
growing in the same region. The
quality is the same as the black, bqt
the fruit consists OF small one-sided
berries enclosed in a pod about an
inch in length. Matico and cubebs
are two other peppers but they are
used only by the medical fraternity.
Red Pepper, whichis the mostpungent
of condiments, is of many varieties
and is found in India and South
America. The most common form IS
the capsicum annum, the pod OF
which is the part sold. 1t is usually
as long as the little finger and eonlcal
IL shape. Owing to it's red color va,
rious poisonous red materials are used
in adulterating it. It is not unusual
to find red lead mixed with it; Vene,
ton red, red ochre, brick-dust and
vermillion. Perhaps it were well II
Mr.. Graham's system of diet had
more adherents, or better still that
would occasionally de-
lounce the excessive use of pepper as
being the means of impairing the
stomach and doing mischievouS
5hings in general.

American sleamboats sMeep N. Mo,.la

'NAtls
There is apparently a large and az.
tended market for American IA
river steamers on the shaIo~
nayigable rivers of Europe and
Asia. In China they have already
effected almost a resolution in ths
water-carrying trade of that empire
and we hear that there is a brisk de-
mand for them already on the Tolpa
The plan adopted in that case by Inc
American builders is TO take out tbs
machinery with them, and to build
the steamers of timber on the spot
This plan produces a steamer much
cheaper that the iron river steamers
exported from England, which have
been in use there for some time. Not
only is their success due TO that cause
but more especially owing to the fact
that the American built boats only
require draught of four feet, while
most of the English steamers require
nine. Even a draught of five feet
bars the navigation through a great
portion of the river, and the speed Of
the wooden American boats is said to
be better than that of any of their
iron competitors. The light draught
of the American has opened up a
navigable length of some 1000, to
$500 miles on the Volga, which will
probably induce considerable fur.
Their orders for the other large rivers
Of Russia. There should be an
equally good market for such steamers
OH the rivers of the Argentine Repu-
bile, which are very wide, but for the
most part shallow. We understand,
however, that there is a strong preju.
dice against them, oweing to their
liability to catch fire-the first two
which were Iun on the Platte having
been destroyed by fire. We do not
see why America should have mon-
opoly of such fiat bottomed river
steamers, and we recommend this to
the attention of English ship builders,
though as II nation we are said to be
the last to suit our goods to customers

Industrial Development Of the South.
New York Economist.

No one circumstance pertaining to
the history OF the past more striking
ly illustrates the extent of the re-
sources Of the country and the energy
Of it's population than the recent in
dustlial development Of the South.
In 1866 this section Of our country
found itself, as the result of four
years war, cntirelyprostrate, without
industry, without tools, without
money, credit or crops; deprived of
local self-govemment, and to a great
extent of political privileges, the
flower OF its youth in the hospitals
or dead upon the battle-helds, with
society disorganized, and starvation
imminent or actually present. But
the year 1868, the third year of the
free labor experiment, brought an
improvement. The harvest was suf-
fciently abundant to furnish the peo-
pie with cheap food and to produce u
large Surplus for the future and for
export, while the value returned from
the sale of the exportable product of
that year, in the form of cotton, grain,
sugar, tobacco, and naval stores, and
the like, was large enough to lay a
foundation for future success. That
result of effort and industry brought
to the people of the South, before so
enfeebled, poor, and discouraged, a
large measure of strength and pros
perity. Since that day it has restored
and built railways; it has enriched
the soil and increased the quality and
quantity of the great staple per acre,
through the extensive use of fertil-
izers and improved tools and nipple
ments; it has multiplied that diStri-
butor OF comforts and necessities, the
country store; It has built manufac-
tories, and is attaining a truer indie
pendence than could ever have been
purchased through a victory at arms.
The supply of labor in the south
has not bCensuiicient to meet the de-
mands Of Its new and various indus

Bill Nys'S Recipes.

To remove oil, varnishes, resins,
tar, oyster soup, cuIrant jelly and
other selections from the bill of fare,
use benzine, soap, and chloroforn
cautiously with wash brush and gar
den hose. Then hang on the wood
pile to remove the pungent effuvia
of the benzine.
To clean ceilings that have been
smeared by kerosene lamps or the
fragrance from fried salt pork, remove
the ceiling, wash thoroughly with
borax, turpentine and rain water,
then hang on the clothes-line to dry.
After, pulverizeand spresd out over the
pie-plant bed for spring wear.
To remove starch and roughness
from hat-irons, hold the iron on a
grindstone twenty moments or SO,
and wipe carefully with a rag. To
make this effective the grindstone
should be in motion while the iron is
applied. Should the iron still stick
to the goods, spit on it.
To soften water for household pur-
poses, put IN en- ounce Of quicklime
in a certain quantity Of water. II it
is not sufficient, use less water OF
more quickhme. Should the imme-
date lime continue 20 remain DELHI

The horse trade OF Texas is
rapidly growing in importance, and
assuming proportions only surpassed
by its cattle trade. Large herds OF
horses arc driven and sold every sea-
son, droves of 1000 and 1000 often
being controlled by one man.
Nothing as yet has been done
regarding the lease OF the penltentla,
ries. To JUDGING from. the report OF
the committee sent to investigate the
prisons, it will require Mt leastSl, OOO,-
600 to erect new prison, improve
the one ut Huntsville and put IN
sufficient machinery. This makes 1t
impossible at this time for the state
to resume control, and place all con-
yicts within the walls, it is the gen.
eral opinion that the present lease is
the best possible that can be obtained
from responsible parties.
The DrocerS' Joarnal, says; We
referred to the report Wednesday that
John r Hoxie had purchased large
body of land in the state of Texas.
We have now obtained the particulars
from Mr.. Hoxie. lie has purchased
of the state $4,000 acres of land in u
body lying in the counties of Martin
and Andrews. The whole tract IS
supplied with water and timber, hav-
ing number of fine streams and two
handsome lakes within the limits OF
the tract, and it has the finest cover
ing Of mesquit grass that's to be found
in the state Of Texas. This land was
selected nine years ago by the Texas
& Pacific railway as part of land
grant that had been made to the COM
pany on certain conditions. and, these
not being complied with, the railrond
forfeited their rights to the land, and
it has Just come to sale to private
parties. Nelson Morris had purchas-
ed 100000 acres adjoining the HoXie
tract lying chiefly in Andrews county,
in the northwestern part of Texas.
These large bodies of land have ev-

ties that could be asked. Mr.. HoXie
will proceed to fence and stock his
tract.
