MElNG Among the Laos, a peo-
pie inhabiting district of Siam, the
chewing of a preparation called
"meing" is almost universal, the
practice being especially esteemed
by those whose labor brings great
bodily fatigue. Recent inquiry shows
that this delicacv is prepared from
the Assam tea.plant of commerce.
The leaves instead OF being used for
beverage as in other countries, are
steamed, tied into bundles and buried
in the ground for about fifteen days,
after which the product will keep for
two years or more. A similar use OF
tea is not unknown elsewhere. Good
authority states that, even IN Euro
pean countries, the ordinary dried
leaves are sometimes eaten, craving

Those animals become very scarce for
several successive seasons, then in a

Prof. Hind 10 1860 attributed this to
exhaustion following severe winter,

that virulent disease peculiar to the
rabbit may yet be brought to the aid
of the Australian sheep farmer.

A particularly useful application of
the electric motor is that Of giving
easily controlled power to the invalid

Probable the most remark able loco

erpool. 1t was built forty five years
ago, made the great speed of seventy

Panama Piracy.

A correspondent Of the Boston
Bulletin writes from Panama that
the half has not been told about
the condition of affairs there.
About half mile from the road
stead at Colon is a point Of artificial
land on which stards the ruins Of
houses erected at cost OF 100000
for the temporary accommodation
of De Lesseps and his son, The
foundations for the houses and
most of the point were made By
dumping into the mud machinery
purchased for the canal and cover
ing the whole with earth and sod.
De Lesseps is credited with having
spent two weeks at his house.
On the tops of the hills may be
seen the houses built for the engi-
neers and their servants. all elabo
rate, all dismantled, all decaying.
At Colon are some forty or fifty
tugs going to decay. On the sid
ings and special tracks stand lines
of abandoned dump cars and loco
motives. The common report there
is that there are enough abandoned
dump cars and locomotives to reach
twice across the isthmus (forty-fve
miles. Vines grow over these rot
ten vehicles, and the locomotive
boilers are so eaten with rust that
they may be broken with an ordi-
nary hammer.
Acres and acres have been cover
ed with parts Of cars that have new
er been set up and large sheds are
filled with locomotives, both cars
and locomotives being Of special
gauge and useless elsewhere.
The fields are full Of abandoned
machinery and supplies and cars
with hosting engines.
Considerable work has been done
on the canal in patches, but, as ap-
parently the cuts were not even

The Vice-President, in his ad-
dress, upon assuming the chair of
Of the Senate at the opening of its
extra session, made an excellent
impression upon the Senators as
we'll as upon the public. His pop
ularity with the rank and file of
the democratic party is unbounded
and what is more to the point it is
all reserved. He is made of the
right sort of stuff. A newspaper
man was telling him that he sup
posed the dignity of his new Office
would prevent resumption of the
free and easy methods in vogue in
his office, when he was first assist
ant Postmaster-General, and the
"boys" were always welcome. Mr..
Stevenson laughed and said; MY
new Office will make no difference.
You boys will be just as welcome
as in the old days. There will be
no sentry standing in front of the
Vice-President's room. You will
not be forced to dive into your
pockets and fish out card to be
transmitted to me on a salver. The
door will stand wide open. There
are sofas inside for you to occupy.
You will walk right in, and if ! am
not there you will send for me.

dent of the people, and the people

Be NeighbOrs.

The present scarcity Of feed al
fords an admirable opportunity Of
showing what relation humanity
bears to humanity. A majority of
stock owners are almost if not en-
tirely out Of feed. while few have
all abundance to carry them
through. with considerable sur
plus besides. These persons who
have been so blessed providentially
alone, or in part by their own well
directed efforts, should not at this
time when poor dumb animals (the
principal source of our revenue) are
lowing piteously for food, spring
the price of this necessary article
beyond its real value and exact from
those who must buy Cor see their
property suffer- prices exorbitant'
beyond the limits of reason. Why
disregard the maledictions pronOun-
ced in the Holy Writ against the
extortioner? Why not observe the
golden rule and do unto thy neigh
Dor as you would have him TO do

mate manner. 1t is not our inten-

Not since the second Inaugural
ton of Grant has there been such Il
disagreeable inauguration day, but
the only noticeable effect the wealth
er had was to keep few men whose
health was not robust out of the
parade, which was over three hours
long as it was, to disfgure and dis
arrange the house decorations and
to postpone the fireworks. Every
thing else went off according to
programme. just as wonld have
been done had the day been as clear
and balmy as that on which Mr..
Cleveland was first inaugurated.

ladies and gentlemen, among them

The Lexington Development
Company Compromises
Debts.

The following article which we
reproduce for the benefit Of any Of
our readers who may be stockhold-
ers in the company, was taken from
the ROckbridge County Neus:
president Catlett and the board
Of directors Of the Lexington De-
velopment company elected in Jam
nary, have been diligently at work
endeayoring to straighten out the
company's affairs, and rs the result
Of their efforts very substantial
concessions to the company have
been allowed by a number Of its
creditors. The debts of the conf
pany have been reduced by over
$50, 900, and now amount in round
numbers to $4,000.
THE following negotiations in
this direction of compromise have
been perfected: Colonel j. D. H.
Ross has bought back from the
company the balance Of Sunnyside
held by it, sixty acres, and allowed
for it 5000 per acre (the price orig
inally paid The proceeds from
this (SI2,000) covered the debt ow-
ed by the company on the property
and part of what it owed on
Mulberry Hill. Professor A. S.
Nelson bought back from the COM
pony thirteen acres of the land sold
it at East Lexington. and allowed
thereof the balance owed him on
the whole tract which was $500.
The company has now there thir-
teen acres with clear title. Il, Il.
Myers took back the five acres Oh
Hoods creek for So, 300. the amount
Of debt on it. G. NJ. Figgat took
back four acres. lot on Woods Greek
at 5000, the amount of debt on it.
In order to perfect their negotl-
atoms an adjustment had to be made
with the two building companies,
the Highland Investment company
and the Lexington Building COM
pany, which held lots on tie land
to be transferred. All this has
oeen amicably. and satisfactorily a. =
complished.
The company has DOW the Null
berry Hill tract Of ninety acres, less
few lots sold; the White tract Of
sixty acres; the Nelson land Of thir-
teen acres; Peasants and +. I. An
derson's Ex'or, lots on Woods creek
the Alexander and Clifton property
at East Lexington, and the Graham
farm Of aboat 1870 acres at the first
lock. 1t is the purpose of the Lex
ington Development company s
management to dispose as a whole
of all The properties except the first
three. and to sell the lots on the
other properties at a reasonable
price. They feel that what they
have already accomplished fully in
sures the solyency of the company.
Having done about all that they
can reasonably expect to do in the
matter Of compromising the debts
owed by the company, the manage
ment now proposes to devote ear
nest attention to realizing what
can be made from the debts owed
to the company"
