A Story Told H. w. Beecher

The other day lin 1877 came through
Loudonville, o., and was forcibly remind
ed of my stay there when on my first trip
out west. We stopped late at night and spent
Sunday there. There were two coach loads
of US, and the little two story brick tavern
was nearly full when we arrived. The best
they could do for my brother Charles and
myself was to give US couple of Shake
downs" in the dining room We slept late
Sunday morning, but finally waking up com
menced TO talk. 1 said: "Charles, Il bet you
can tell what they had at this hotel for din
ner yesterday" What was it," he asked.

on stale sort of odor that pervaded the
room "No, you're mistaken" said he, shak-

THE CULTURE OF OPIUM.

Gathering the Poppy's Juice

The Industry In Malwa and HenRni-
Gathering the POPpy's Juice.
1t is probable that very few owners of
flower gardens ere aware that the nom
pies cultivated merely for ornament will
produce opium. When the flower pe-
tails have fallen, leaving the seed capsule

sticky juice will exude. This Juice is
| opium. 1t varies in certain chemical
| qualities, according to the country in
which it is cultivated and the variety OF
| plant from which it is produced
Although the plant will grow in almost
any climate, it is in India that it is most
satisfactorily cultivated, the opium rev.
enue of that country being derived from
two sources, those of Malwa aud those
of Bengal The Malwa opium is pro.
duced in the native states of the interior,
and is not controlled by the British gov
eminent, except by a tax. Bengal opium,
on the contrary, is under the direct super
mtendence of English officials.
When the land has been plowed and
Narrowed, the poppy seed is sown at the
end of October, or the beginning of No
vember. Six pounds of seed are suffi-
eient for the third of an acre.
As soon as it begins to terminate, as il
does in week after sowing, the land is
divided by burrows into rectangular beds,
about eight feet in length by four in
breadth. These channels are used for
irrigation, as the plants need frequent
watering, sometimes requiring it until
the crop is matured. About seventy-fivs
days after termination, the flower APP
pears, and its four petals are gently re-
moved, on the third day after their exc
pansion, to be pasted together with the
leaves destined TO form the outer shell
of the opium cake.
In the course of eight or ten days, the
capsules are lanced at night, and the
juice which has exuded from the missions
IS scraped off in the morning, with a
small scoop, and transferred to a metal
or earthen vessel. This process is three
or four times repeated, at intervals of
two or three days, and the result is
crude opium. The flower petals and the
plant-leaves and stalks have also a con-
siderable value for packing purposes,
and the thicker portions of the stalks are
used by the peasants for fire-wood. The
crude opium, having been gathered, is
stored by the cultivator, and watched.

faint.
AT the end of March, or the beginning
of April, when the weather is furiouslv
hot in Bengal, the cultivators, carrying
their opium, obey a summons calling
them to meet the deputy agent of their
village. There the opium is tested, paid
for, and taken into the possession of the

Wear Your Slippers.

No one should run around sleeping rooms
or into halls from bed in bare feet. Air cur
runts are constantly in motion near the floor,
and circulation is more easily retarded in
feet and legs than near the heart. Ii is,
therefore, good plan to have a warm pair
of slippers always close 10 the bed, that may
be slipped on quickly before ones feet touch
the floor, made loose enough to be kicked of
when climbing into bed again. For one who
is liable to be called up frequently, as in

Mr.. Grady's Death.

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. %. I'll. w.
Grady, the Southern orator, died at
3 40 this morning, of pneumonia.
The illness which he contracted dur
ing his recent Boston trip developed
into typhoid pneumonia. The ply
slcians realized that the case was a
dangerous one on Thursday last and
said that they had reached the limit
of their skill and could do no more.
Mr.. Grady's mother: his wife and
two little children were at his bed
side. The Atlanta churches united
in public prayers for the sick man.
From all parts of the country and
even Europe came messages of in
quiry.
His message to his mother yester-
day was characteristic. eff | die, F"
he said, 81 die serving the South,
the land | love so we'll. Father fell
in battle for it; 1 am proud to die
talking for it." Mr.. Grady was but
SO years of age, and it is only ten
years since he first began to attract
public attention as a newspaper man,
thinker and an orator He was at
the head of nearly all the public en-
terprses in Georgia, and was idol
lied by his Southern fellow country
men.
Mr.. Grady was i'll when he re-
Gently left Atlanta for Boston. He
went contrary to the advice of his
physician and returned quite sick.
On Saturday his condition was very
serious, and on Sunday it was un-
derstood that there was very little
hope for his recovery. The announce
ment that his death was possible, was
a great shock to the people, and the
most intense interest was felt. By
1870 last night he began growing
worse, and at 3 O clock this morning
he was said to be dying. At $40
this morning he quietly breathed his
last. When daylight came and the
news of his death spread over the
city, it caused degree of sorrow
never equalled here. The arrange
ments for the funeral have not yet
been made. He leaves widow and
two children.

Henry w. Grady.

The late Henry w. Grady may
justly be regarded as typical South
erner of the better class. Although
his intense love for his section and
his ardent, oratorical temperament
sometimes led him into extravaganza
of speech, and we have had abundant
illustration of this quite recently, he
was undoubtedly at heart loyal and
progressive citizen. He was honest
in his desire to unite North and
South. He cherished no rancorous
malignity against that section of the
country which met his own so lately
in deadly conflict. He accepted the
results of the war, save perhaps, in
one particular, and used his native
eloquence to build up a new and
better South. However oblique his
vision may seem TO us of the North
on the subject of the disposal of the
race question, in view of his lament
able death harsh criticism would bet
ter cease.
As man Mr.. Grady was earnest,
honest, generous. and in most things
progressive. His brilliant eloquence
commanded admiration and while
his opinions did not always merit
approval, his sincerity ever did. 1t
is certainly good quality in man
to be loyal to his home but it is a
matter for deep regret when this be
comes incompatible with the fullest
loyalty to the general government
and entire devotion to single flag.
Mr.. Glady's father died fighting for
what we believe to have been a mis-
taken and wrong idea. Mr.. Grady
himself could never quite become
dispossessed of sympathy with this
erroneous idea, and, under the cir
cumstances, it was hardly the part of
reason To expect it. Environment
and temperament considered, Mr..
Grady was advancing much faster

The publication in the Herald a
short time since of the large tracts of
land open for settlement in this
county has resulted in the sale of a
large tract of farm land in Norton,
to company of Scandinavians. The
purchase consists of 10000 acres of
land located near the Canadian bor-
der. 1t is timber land, and the
Swedes propose to clear farms and
make homes for themselves exactly
as was done by our grandfathers and
great grandfathers 100 years ago.
This experiment will be watched with
no little interest. The colonists come
from Springfield, Mass. and consist
of eight families. The head of the
colony is Mr.. Manall, who proposes
to erect house for his own use the
coming spring. 1t is proposed to
build Lutheran Church, a school
house, a town hall, and other neces-
sary buildings, at the settlement the
coming season. An agent of the
company will sail for Norway early
in January, to bring over additional
families to Norton, and before an
other winter the first Scandinavian
colony will be established in Yer
mont.-ISldnd Pond Herald.

One of the most important enterprises
which has recently been established in
Vermont is the manganese mining industry
of Carnegie Brothers of PIttsburg, Penn.
Their mines are located at South Walling-
ford and Brandon. A third deposit of
manganese ore is now beinge dveloped on
Cold river in the town of Rutland. The
Carnegie Brothers last summer purchased
mining rights in the lands containing eX-
tensive manganese ore beds in both Wall
ingford and Brandon, since which time a
large amount of ore has been mined.
Works for washing the ore have been
erected at both places, and some 100 men
are employed in mining and washing the
product of these mines, which amounts
to about 25O tons of washed ore daily
The Brandon mining property consists of
12S acres of land, and is located within
two miles of the village. Some sixty-three
men are employed there and four shafts
are in operation. The manganese deposit
was thirty-seven feet below the surface,
and shafts have been sunk ninety-five feet
without penetrating through the bed of
ore. The Brandon ore yields seventy five
per cent pure manganese, and some spec
linens have been produced yielding ninety
per cent. The washed ore is shipped to
Pittsburg, where it is used in the produc-
tion of steel rails.

lively more Of a voice in the House
than New York's 81. Why shouldn't t
they? This correspondent does not
seem to have realizing sense of

may also be added that owing to the
fact that the national capital is with
out representation in Congress the
chairman of the district committee,
Gen. Grout, has many of the func-
tions of mayor of the city. He is
an exceedingly important functionary
there. The Washington Post speaks
well of the appointment of the Yer
monter at the head of the District of
Columbia committee Gen. Grout,
SAYS the Post, was a member of this
conAhttee in the last Congress, and
is known not only to have expert
ences, but to take deep interest in
district affairs. The committee is
certainly strong in its old member
ship, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that as a whole it has been ex-
tremely well chosen and with careful
regard to the interests of the nation
