The English walnut is at home

better than sowing seed is 10 pro.
cure the plants from the nursery.
The Memphis nursery can furnish
them. They come into bearing
when eight or ten years old, and
continue uninterruptedly Just as the
pecan aud hickory do, and il gets
to be at its best when 100 years old.
Although a native Of Europe, yet
shey perfectly adapt themselves %
the soil and climate oi the pecan,
hickory and black walnut, being all
Of the same family. After the third
year they require but little care, and
are subject To no i'll, whatever. No
Insect troubles them. Their fruit
brings the highest price Of all nuts !;
their yield is enormous. Young
men who have land and little means
can thus make their bed and pillow
on which 10 repose when age comes
on. The supply viii mt meet The
demand for English walnuts in the

looked as an argument in behalf of the

"Under anything like favorable eli

ana tho anti-Vcgetarian argument
founded on their lack or muscular de-

ALesson IN Silver.

Col. John Mcguire, United States
Consul at Tampico, Mexico, who
has been at home in Mobile on q
short vacation for the benefit of his
health, and expects to return To his
post, leaving to-day, tells OF some
things in his experience as consul
to a country with only silver as its
currency that should open the eyes
of silver inhaticnists as to the fall
lacy OF their position. Colonel Ma
guIre says that the Mexican dollar
is worth at Tampico (and at every
port in Mexico) 81 cents in Ameri
can or foreign exchange.
The days wages Of the laborer in
the vicinity Of Tampico, on the
farms or in the port, IS 81 cents, in
in the deprecated currency of the
nation, and the practical result is a
pitiable stagnation of the general
business and productive industries
Of a country that is one of the rich
est on the globe in its natural ad-
vantages and fertility Of soil. Col.
Mcguire thinks that a months Wis.
il to Mexico at this time and an in
vestigation OF the results of silver
initiation would cure the delusion OF
the widest silverite in tire United
States.-Mobile Register.
