Toast

Because people use the same words II
does not follow that they mean the same
thing. The word partridge, for example,
means one bird IN New England and
another at the south. and the Significance
Of oven SO common term 20 toast ap
pear, To be subject to wide auciuatlons
On the second day out from Fort Smith,
SAYS Col. Marcy. we halted for the night
mt a respectable looking farm house and
my New York companion readily Oh
tanned from the hostess promise TO
m.kea nice dish of toast and acupo tea
In due course supper was announced
and we seated ourselves 1t the table.
The dishes before us consisted OF iricd
bacon floating i'm grease. some corn
bread in the shape of hand grcnades, and
a quantity of gluiinous, half ba1ed hot
biscuit. neither of which seemed calcu-
lated to tempt the appetite of the gentle
man from New York, who called for the
toast
The landlady replied that she had II
on irwin, and she lowed it would soon
be done"
Capt. Mcclellan and myself exchanged
significant chances, but my friend from
New York appeared not to appreciate
the joke, and inquired what she meant
by frying toast. Shc assured him 1t was
all right, as he would soon see for him
self
When it came on the table, it appeared
that she had taken the loaf, cut 1t II
two parts, placed them in pan, an'
fried them in grease for about half az
hour.
My friend did not seem to relish 'i''
method Of cooking. and explained to Tho
hostess in detail tho proper method o.
making toast, whercupon she said ION

RICHMOND. Nav 20 There are very
few sections of Virginia and North
Carolina that have not had good rams
this week. aud yet there are some too
dry yet for planting. The many papers
devoted to tobacco interest have
timely advised planters to water plants
rs they are set out, and, 10 doubt, this
has been extensively done. Much has
been said Of overgTown plants. to which
little importance is attached. While
bug and flea under the canvas cover Is
a new dodge in Virginia and North
Carolina tobacco culture. we can but
regard she little pest as only teasing.
and not cheating the planter much OUT
of his crop. This will be a busy week
taking down, bulkiDg and prizlng leaf.
aud receipts will soon begin to show 1t
here.
LICORICE.
1t is said that the licorice men have
come 10 reason. and cutting has been
discontinued. and steady prices VIII
now rule again.
ANTI TRUST LAWS.
The latest that agiiates trade is that
of Missouri. which State laws, under
the eighth section. makes the penalties
very severe for any contract system IN
manufacturing or selling. There Is DO
loop hole in these epactmcnts- IL Is. OF
course. aimed at. and hard on the
St. Louis plug manufacturers. whose
very life has heretofore depended on
contract schemes, and all sort Of
schemes to force sales of tobacco.
Honest manufacturers are forced by
some means TO fix the prices to JJbbers,
middle-men. and ensure the retailer a
fair profit. The latter cut rates among
themselves. and the maker Of plug IN
terceded for the benefit OF all. or nj
least so intended. by various contract
sales: meanwhile the consumer had
hardly cause for complaint. and there
was no excessive profit to any. SUI
this system had many Objectionable
features. The anti-contract system
bears equally on all products, and while
temporarily bad on tobacco men. VIII
no doubt. in the end, serve wise pur-
pose in other directions.
Asa result of these laws the jObber'
trade of several Western cities has be
come somewhat demoralized. In som'
large cities the Wholesale trade have
agreed among themselves to MAINTAIN
safes uniformly, but the trouble vii
come from these in many places wher'
all act contrarily.
