INDBPENDBNT MErnODIsTs,


For several weeks the New York Dra-

THE SOCIETY BORE.
DON'T Expect Pleasant Evening When
You'Hnppen to Meet Him.

1t is peculiar-that tself-satisfaction of
men-some men. A man will monopo-
lize the conversation for two straight
hours. Every one will be thoroughly
tired out, vote him stupid bore, and
take little pains to conceal it. First one
will excuse himself, another will walk
away, third will remember an import
tant engagement, but the man will go
right on talking until desperation seizes
the rest, and there is no one left to lis
ten. Yet he will never discover that he
was entertaining himself instead of
them, and will 60 away and tell his
next victim what delightful time ho
has been having, and how interested
his listeners were in his experiences.
One night one of those individuals with
o head crammed so full of technicalities
and book knowledge that there was no
room left for practicality, fixed his eyes
on starry sky, jammed his hands in
his pockets and commenced discourse
nbout the planets, space and the carth's
orbit to several people sitting on the
piazza. He talked; they listened. When
ne discovered they were really listening
bis voice took on that tone that voices
DO sometimes when their owners decide
that listening is synonym for ignor-
nnce, and he reveled in the fancy that
Re was the teacher and they his pupils.
The more didactic he became the more
room his frame needed, and he COM
paenced to stride up and down the piazza.
1t was impossible for anyone to try to
escape. The man was guest and there
was no pause in the discourse that
would allow one to take two stops away.
At the end of the lecture those who
were not asleep vowed solemnly never
to be caught in such trap again, and
the man had immortalized himself as
the personificatiOn of a bore. A few
days afterward the host heard that the
guest had spoken of the lecture he had
given on astronomy, and said that he
had never had more appreciative list
eners and that he SHIELD them spell
bound for two hours. Chicago Herald.

1T HAS A HISTORY.
Interesting Account of n Bell Taken from
Submerged Ship.

| When you visit the room of the
Natural History Society on Boylston
street ask the custodian to point out to
you ships bell which rests upon one
Of the shelves. This bell has history
attached to it About the year 1856 or
1857 firm in this city sent out an ex.
pedition under the charge of Mr.. Whip
pie, the noted submarine diver of the
day. fully equipped with armors and
livers, to explore the banks of the Gulf
If Mexico for submerged articles of
value. The expedition returned in due
time from a successful trip, the vessel
loaded with kentledge chains and an
chors. Among the many crafts discov-
cred and explored was a British frigate.
From this was taken the ships bell,
stamped with the broad arrow; also,
from the hull, several sheets of copper
stamped with the initials of the dock
yard in which the frigate was coppered,
and also the year of it's application. A
statement of these facts, with sheet
of the copper, was sent to the late
George Sumner, who was then in Lon
don. He placed them before his friend,
the Earl of Clarendon, who was then
connected with the British Admiralty.
On examining the records of the dock
yards, it was ascertained that two
frigates were coppered the year of the
stamp, and were sent on their way to
join the feet about to attack New Or
leans at the time of its successful de-
fense by General jackson. They were
never heard of after leaving their moor
ings. One OF these was the frigate dis
covered by Mr.. Whipple. In this acci-
dental way was communicated to the
Government and friends of the officers
and crew intelligence of the fate of the
ship. Perhaps second Whipple may
discover the resting place of the United
States sloop-of-war Albany, which dis
appeared in the same waters, carrying
to the bottom, among other noble souls,
Lieutenant John Quincy Adams, grand
son of tho President of that name, who.
If he had lived ten years longer, would
have added lustre to his patriotic name
and family. A more accomplished and
gallant officer than Lieutenant Adams
never trod the quarterback. The bell
is overhung with massive canopy of
coral, which is considered of great
scientific value as showing the growth
of coral in definite number of years.

RAMiE IN MEXICO.
Our sister Republic Offers Special Advant.
ago for Its Cultivation.

| "&b hoF
In arecent report by the United States
Secretary Of Legation at Mexico it Il
stated that Mexico offers special ad
vantages for the successful cultivation
| OF the ramie plant The State OF Vera
Cruz is admirably adapted-from its fre.
quent rains and facilities of irrigation
in the zone which extends from Jalapa
TO Tuxtupec, passing through Cordoba
to the cultivation of ramie; and, in adj
dition, the railways penetrating these
districts offer ready means Of transporta-
tion to market After its second year
the plant can, as 1t does in Venezuela,
yield four, five and even six cuttings q
year. Both white and green ramie can
I've cultivated in Mexico, but the white
is preferred, as it is very robust and
| yields a superior fiber to the green
ramie. White ramie comes from China.
The leaf underneath is white, veined
with green, and the leaves and stems
are very hardy. Owing to this hardi-
ness the plant will grow in almost any
climate, but, nevertheless, has a predi-
lection for sandy, light soil, with a
well-drained undersoil, as the roots rot in
cWdupL REouuu. oOll Wlbu
saltpeter is also prejudicial to its develop
ment. In order that the stems may grow
straight and narrow, without lateral
branches, 1t is necessary that the plants
should be crowded together, having a
space of not more than a half yard be-
tween each; the stems will then give a
much superior fiber. After the second
year wedding is no longer necessary, as
the multiplicity of roots does not allow
the growth of any parasite. Once
started, the plants will last for years
without being renewed. 1t is stated
that the plants will live for more than
fifty years, but to obtain this result an
annual manuring is indispensable. In
spite of the assertion of some cultivators
that the fallen leaves suffice to manure
the land, experience shows that the best
results are obtained by using manure
Again, the leaves may be used for max
ing paper, as is done in China. The cul-
tivation of ramie requires but a small
outlay and very slight labor, and, as the
harvests are numerous when once the
plants are fairly started the return is
prompt. 1t is expected that weaving
and spinning mills will be established
in Mexico for making use of the fibre,
but it is thought the richness of the
soil will prove such that the production
of raw material will far exceed their
capacity of consumption, and that Eu-
rope will take any such superfluity, in
preference even to hennequin. Mr.
Whitehouse states that none of the ma
chimes at present in use for decortica-
tion give satisfactory results; all are too
expensive, and none do sufficient work
