Something About Cabbase.

Cabbages were thought of highly by anci-
ent nations, and the Egyptians gave the cab
bage the honor of letting it precede all other
dishes; they called it divine dish. The
Greeks and Romans had a great affection
for cabba ge, and conceived the idea that the
use of cabbage keeps people from drunken
ess. We are persuaded that the constant
use or eating Of certain vegetables kills the
desire for alcoholic beverages. Greek doct-
ors ascribed all kinds of virtues 70 the cab
bage. 1t was thought to cure even paralysis.
Books were composed to celebrate the cab
bage, and ladies partook of it soon after
childbirth. The Romans thought even more
of the cabbage than the Greeks. They as
cribed il to the fact that they could for six
hundred years do without doctors, and Cato
actually maintained that cabbage cured all
diseases

Mr.. Hyncs of the firm of lIynes & Albee

in Rutland that parties there who had
trusted the firm got uneasy and brought
suit to secure themselves; and Mr..
Hynes appearing averse to settling,
Albee went down and paid one-half of
the debt. Then a receiver appointed by
the father of Mr. Hynes appeared on
the scene to collect suit brought by
the father against the son; but parties in
Burlington and Middlebury, not liking
such an arrangement. brought suit and at
tached all the goods. which induced a
speedy settlement and dissolution of the
firm. Mr.. Albre is now irving to ''go it
alone. thinking partnership a bad ship
