THE VENTRIL LoQUIsT.

Down at the famous Strand tavern, the Coalhole, in London, we were gathered together, one evening, laughing over the amusing scenes of ventriloquism with whichn that clever comedian, Toole, had just been edifying us.
 A journalist present complimented him somewhat ironically on what he called his ''little society talents.
 s'These same little talents" said Toole, in grave tone, "have sometimes great utility in life; do not despise them. An infinitely small talent may save. world of trouble; nothing is unproductive here below. Let me give you single illustra- tion.

(Hartford Times CHEAP FRUIT.

Few persons probably realize the enor- nous quantity of cheap and good fruit that is consumed by the people of the United States; and hardly anybody stops to think of the great difference there is, | in this matter, between our favored coun- try and most of the countries of Europe. There, fruit is a luxury, mostly enjoyed by the rich people. Here, it is for all. For, almost everybody can afford to buy ten cents worth of oranges, or 8 few bananas, even if the pineapples and other more costly fruit are mostly out of the l poor mans reach.
 A few statistics of the importations of fruit into New York may be of interest. Pineapples, or "pines," as they are known to the trade, are cultivated chiefly in Gu ba, the Bahamas, and Florida. Tn the latter state they are chiefly grown on the islands or keys" below Charlotte Harbor, though some are cultivated successfully | in all parts of the mainland south of Mid dle Florida. The larger part of the ship ments to New York have come, in most years, in June from the Bahamas-and chiefly from one island (Eleuthera) of that group. Owing to the perishable na- ture of the fruit the ''pines" are picked while in the green, hard state, and loaded into sailing vessels at the islands. The employment of fast steamers, if it would pay, would permit the shipment of much more attractive, sweet and wholesome epines,' because riper. A pineapple starts from a small sprout called a ''sucker." :" Each fruit will bear four or five of the 'suckers,'' which are pulled off and stuck into the ground. In eighteen months each "sucker" will produce pineapple.
 Over 12, 1000, GOO pineapples were landed at New York last year. The price ranged from 4 to 16 cents each. In England, where they are scarce and obtained all most wholly from het-houses, the price is often from $2 to $5 each. In the New York tenement districts they are retailed at cent slice. Many laboring people in Hartford buy pineapple when it can be had for 10 or 12 cents.
 Oranges-largely from Florida, where the best are grown-come into New York at the rate of million and 8 half boxes annually. The West India oranges are more insipid than ours. Oranges arrive, from some quarter, at most times in the year. California sends east large quan- tity-and the California oranges, like the varied other California fruit, are apt to be very fine.
 Bananas, grown in. millions in nearly all parts of the tropic belt, are receivedin New York chiefly from the West Indies and from the Isthmus. Some of the big gest and finest come from Baracoa, on the northeast coast of Cuba. Some are grown in Flos:i1saa Florida; but strictly a tropical i situation is. best for the banana, and it grows in endless aantities along the coasts of the Central American states; Honduras producing some fine ones. On the Isthmus there is chubby spotted banana, not quite so large as the others, but far finer. But it will not keep for exportation to New York. In that port the banana is so cheap fruit that at some times one can buy, on the docks, 8 whole "bunch" for 10 cents.

Hartford Courant: "Nerve'' has al ways been put down as one of the con- popent parts of a tramp's character, but sample of that article was exhibited in this city recently which goes far ahead of the usual supply. One morning, not long ago, tramp appeared at the back door Eof a north end residencs; and, on being asked what he desired, explained that he wished some Tot water and little sugar. He had been Hfng much trouble of late, he said, with his stomach, and wanted to cure it. The demand appeared so mild and reasonable for one of his kind to make, that it-was at once complied with. Setting down the articles on the table, this wandering gentleman removed from his hip pocket well-filled bottle of gin and proceeded to concoct his grog. The mixing finished, instead of drinking it at once, he stepped to the door, and, with 8 gesture of cordial welcome, invited three hitherto unseen companions to step,in and "have a nip" They all "stepped in, :" and were preparing to regale themselves when the owner of the house, thinking that the show had gone about far enough, introduced them to mode of hastH exit which they didn't altogether appreciate.
