RADIsHEs.

The perfection of radish is that it should
be tender, juicy and crisp and these qualities
can be secured only by growing them rapidly
in light, rich soil. Everyone should understand
that tender, succulent vegetables are not pro-
dnced on poor or even moderately enriched
land. Market gardeners viii say that rich land
with them means an application annually Of at
least fifty tons of well-rotted manure per acre.

it with six inches of thoroughly decayed

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
IN your issue of March 6, C. b. Reese of the
59th Indiana infantry asks the question what
troops were first in jackson, Miss, on May II,
1865, and who planted the eolors, and Of what
regiment. OF the Statc-house.
IN reply / viii state that the celors were
hoisted there by Captain J.. p. Martin, OF the
18th Minnesota infaniry, and Captain c. Cadle,
Jr, Of General Crocker's headquarters.
Captain Martin WAS acting adjutant for Gen
eral John b. Sanbon of the 9TH Minnesota
infantry, who l think. 81 that time COM
manded the 9TH division lQnimby's) of the
18th lMcPhersoa'sl corps, and Captain Cadle
was General Crockers adjutant. l think that
the eolo,s belonged to General Sanborn's head
quarters, but am not certain. Colonel Cadle
served through the war, and after its close was
adjntant 10 General Wager Swayne, who was
in charge Of the Freedmans Bureau in Ala
hama. He was from Muscatine, Iowa, and
learned about two years ago that be was then
in Leadyille, Col. lie informed me that Mar
tin and himself planted the colors.
In regard to the question what regiment or
troops were in first will state that in my
opinion those that were on the Clinton road
Cur line of battle was formed about a mile
from the city. where we met the enemy drawn
up to receive Us. A sharp skirnish ensued,
when they broke for the city. We marched in
line over the ground occupied by them, passed
a large two-story white frame house that stood
10y the ad,-and which WIS at once used as a
hospital through the orchard and garden,
pushed over the picket fence and a very short
distance beyond, where we halted to dress up
our lines We were then IN plain view OF the
works. and could see the cannon in them, but
/ no shots were fired ut us and we soon ascer-
tanned that the enemy did not stop at their
! intrenchments, but kept or through the city.

EvAPoRATED FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.
III. w. Engle, of Marietta, Pa. says in an
exchange that he has had considerable expert
ence with fruits, and some with vegetables,
especially green corn, which, when carefully
evaporated, is considered superior TO the can
ned article. On the whole, evaporated fruits
pay better than vegetables, because of better
Established market, and consequently a more
general and steady demand IN many sections
the evaporation Of vegetables is yet in Its in
fancy, and needs further development and
practice TO make it a success. We have seen
potatoes. tomatoes, sguashes, beans, sweet pota-
toes and cabbage all nicely evaporated for
family use, but as yet there is but limited
trade IN such products. Apples. peaches, plums,
cherries, apricots, Taspberries, blackberries and
other fruits are all very successfully evap5rated
and have become staple articles of trade and
commerce.. Fine evaporated pears and peaches
often bring twenty-five to thirty-five cents per
pound, apples fifteen to twenty cents, cherries
and raspberr:es twenty 10 thirty cents. Gen
orally speaking, bushel of good apples will
yield five to seven pounds of evaporated fruit.

On Sunday during the funeral Of Lewis
lngler, Jr., the young man who committed
suicide at Amityville. L. l.. an extnordi-
nary scene occurred. As the minister was
about to kneel in prayer the shock of the
earthquake shook the house. A large mir
ror. which reached from the ceiling to the
floor. was cracked in two from the top to
the bottom, and the walls of the room were
cracked in two places. The flowers

the casket nttlet. The minister aud several
Of the mourners tainted. When the shock
was first felt nearly every one in the parlors
remained motionless. Then there was a
stampede to get outside, and one lady jump
ed through an open window and splained
her leg SO that she had to be carried to her
home. The women who tainted were car.
ried outside to the open air. The minister
was unable to 60 on with the service, and
the moulners and others remained outside
while the pail bearers re-entered the house
and carried the coffin ont to the hearse. A
broom handle can be laid into the cracks
in the wall.
The earthquake caused the brick chin
neys Of two houses to fall at East Norwich.
The Presbyterian Sunday school at ia
maica had its walls serried by cracks, one to
two inches in width. extending from its
roof to its foundation. A colored camp
meeting in Fleetwood was broken up by the
shock. and all in attendance being on their
knees ut the time. jumped up shouting, and
ran from the woods to their homes.

4 Curious Rnrial Custom.

4 Jewish chronicler, writing in TAG
of English burial customs, says: "The
English have several customs which, in
my opinion, are as fanatical as any that
are observed among other nations. In
this country the breath is no sooner
out of the body than they fall a-strip
ping the body of every thing made Of
linen. A Mohammedan is not more
careful in washing dead body, jew
is not more exact in purifying, or a
rapist III nttering over it some snpersti-
tious prayers, than the English are in
wrapping it up in flannel shroud.
There are great numbers OF these
graye-cloths ready made, and many
get their living by selling them. There
j. an express law prohibiting the use of
anything about dead body that is not
WOODEN. Ii so much rs thread of flax
or hemp is employed in sewing a
shroud, it Is 4 crime against tine state.
However, at first, l was exceedingly
surprised at this odd custom. When |
came to understand the reason, was
far from condemning the English. The
intention Of their Inv which forb.ds
burying in linen is To increase the con-
sumption of WOODEN goods, and 50 to
encourage that kind of manufacture.
Monceca has the following reflection on
this law: Nothing, sure. can show II
greater conca:n Tor trade than to make
the very dead interest themselves init.

Thc Ellis Emporium OF Music.
One d the most complete musical estab-
lishmcnts in this country ia that of the we'll
known firm of John f. Ellis g. Co., No. 937
Pennsylvania avenue. This enterprise was
founded in 1852 by the late John +. Ellis, a
gentleman of great energy and business tact,
who conducted it in most successful manner
until his death in February, 1870. So large
had the business then become, and so valuable
the name and good will, that Mrs. Ellis de-
termined to continue it, and since then 1t has
continued to grow and prosper. The build
ing itself is one of the handsomest and best
appointed music establishments in the United
States, being four stories, with imposing iron
front and running through from Pennsyl-
vania avenue to d street. The first floor,
which, like all the Others, is capacious, we'll
lighted, and airy, is devoted to sheet music
and small musical instruments, including
automatic instruments, such as turnaphones,
aurephones, organettes, organinas, harmo-
nettes, go. The stock of music is very large
and complete, consisting of American and
foreign music, standard and classic. On the
second floor is the piano salesroom, hand
somely decorated and stocked with very
large assortment Of square and upright pianos
and organs. Prominent among them, and in
fact tho instrument best known to the
public, and in which they take the most
| pride, is the Weber piano, an instrument
WHICH, rs REGARDS tone, uurhDlllty, anu ap-
pearauce, is among the foremost in the world.
"As good wine needs no bush," so the
merit Of the Weber piano is so we'll known
that any elaboration would be unnecessary.
The Weber firm are making ten pianos every
day, and have just taken o long lease on their
Fifth avenue saesroom. Messrs. Ellis q Co.
control their sale in Washington city and the
District of Columbia and Alexandriaand the
counties of Loudoun and Fauquier, Virginia.
They sell, also, other reliable pianos. The
Mason & Hamlin organ, of which they
control the agency, is of the same relative
excellence as the Weber piano. They also
sell other frst.class organs. On the third
floor are kept pianos and organs for rent
The fourth floor is used for storage and as a
repair shop. An elevator runs from the d
street front to the fourth floor, and a tele'
phone is on tho premises. The stock and
building - free and unencumbered, worth
over $lO0,000-is the property Of Mrs, john
f. Ellis. The business is managed by Mr.
Charles b. Bayly, with large corps of COM
petent and courteous assistants. We cheer
fully recommend the firm and bespeak fol
them the patronage of our readers.
