The Ivoiy Nut Paiii.
A writet otates that in 1813 Mr. William
Purdie was dispatehed to New Oranada to
collect plants for the loyal Gardens, Kew.
Ile was specially insthicted to find a few
special plants, one of which was the ivory
nut palm. In his account of this, Mr.
Purdie says: "In a journey of 600 miles,
from Santa Martha to Ocana, in New (Ira
unada in the village of Semena, seventeen
leagues from hence, and near the great
river of Magdalena, I entered the mountains,
aud saw for the first time the ivory nut
palm (PhYtClcpha- maerocar-pa), called
iagau by the natives. The habit of this
palm is to have little or no stem, what
there is is decumbent; it is not a robust
'treo. Old plants have from fifteen to
twenty primato leaves, which when fully
grown measure nearly twenty feet in length,
of a delicato green color, very graceful,
and sinilar to those of the date palmn. The
malo and female flowers are borne on sepa
rate plants. The male flowers are prodti,
ced in six clusters from the bases of the
leaves and on short footstocks. The clusters
are compact and form a nearly glohose
head, which, on account of the style-like
projections resembling the rigid hair of a
negro, it is not inaptly called Cabeza det
negro (negro's head.) Theso heads lie
close to the ground, each cluster containing
four of five seeds. Tho seed contains at
first a clear Insipid liquid, which afterwards
becomes milky and sweet, and ultimately
hardens and becomes the "vegetable ivory"
of commerce. Each of these nuts is about
the size of a green walnut, and Is covered
with a yellow, sweet., oily pulp, which is
collected and sold under the name of i'po
(cl Taglua. A spoonful of the latter with
a little sugar and water imakes the celebrat
fd Chiholde Taf/ua, said to be the most
delicious beverage of the country. The
stein of the male is larger and more crect
than that of the femalo, and the singularity
of its infloresenco Is only equallcd by its
beauty. The fragrance is most powerful
and delicious, exceeding that of any other
plant, and so diffusive that the air for many
yards becomes alive with myriads of in
sects. Mr. Purdlio states that he ld to
carry som of these twelve miles, and
though ho killed a number of the annoying
insects that followed him, yet the next day
a groat many still hovered about the flowers,
having conic all the way from the woods
where the latter grew.
Opening of the First, iaRsenger itinwiay.
Fifty years ago-that is, Sertemlber,
1830-tihe first passenger railway In
England, the Liverpool and Manchester
Railway, was opened with great cereinony.
A year before a prize of .500 had been
<ffHted for the best locomotive engine,
which had been won by Robert Stephen
son's Rocket, upon which were subsequently
modelled the old grasshopper enginles of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, their appearanco
being suggestivo of their namie. Eight lo
onotive anlgines had been completed and
placed upon the line. and all hal lbeen
tested wilti entire success. To every engite
was attached four pasenger carriages, each
containing twenty persons. The fIrst en
gine, the Nortiunbrian, drew tihe most dig
tinguished guests-the Duke of We!ingtonl,
Sir Robert Peel, and other nembers of the
Ministry. It had one line of the double
track to Itself. The other seven locomo
lives with their carriages, followed each
other on the other line. The )rocssion
started from Liverpool at I1 o'clock, with
flags, music, fino weather, and great. entlu
sliasm. Seventeen miles from I iverpool
they stopped to take in water, and i order
to afford the D)uke oif W~ellihngton ani oppor
tunity of seeing the procession, the seven
locomotives, with their carriages, were or
deredl to pass slowly by the Nort humbrlin
standing on its track. Severnd gentlemen
had alighted while the locolmotives w~ere
takidng in water, and one of them. Mr.
Iluskisson, member of Parliament for Liv
erpool, and an earniest supp)orter~ of tI e rail
roadl cause, catching sight of the D)uke of
Wellington, between whom anid himself
there had been somne polit ical coolness, ran
eagerly across tho track to shake him by
the hand. At that moment the order as
given for the seven engines to move for
ward, Mr. H uskisson w"as bewildered. The
Rlocket, which was the lenading engine,
struck him while lie was still in dioublt
where to flee. Trho wheels went over his
leg andt thigh, and lhe expired that eveing.
TIhe accident cast a decep gloom over tfhc
day's festivity. Th'le trip was concluded,
that people witing alonig the line miight
noet he disappointed, but all rejoicing andc
gaycty were at an end(. TIhe next (lay the
railway was openedc for palsseniger trailic,
and carried 140 persons from Liverpool to
Mainchester in two hours. Th'le original
calculations of the construction had1( been
based on probable returns from h'eavy meri
opened before aii av'erage of 1,200 persons
daily were willing to trust it with their
lives. In a fewv:years it was found that
the enormous traflic wvas too heavy for the
original rails, aiid it became necessary to
relay the road at considerable expense.
But though September 15, 1830, is thme
greatest (lay in railroadl annals, beimig that
on which the world's first railroad was
opened complete, the Maryland Itail
road preceded the Liverpool and Manches
ter in utility. The first sod of the halt

-constructIon July 4, 1828, and( by the next.

Our cauliflowers and cabbages, which
weigh many pounds, are largely developed

and do not weigh more than half an ounce

AGRICULTURE.
IHARIESrINa ToBACCo.-A very good
way I to cut C,ho plants just at night,
andtf take tm to tm shed early li the
morning after tho "dewv Is of.'." The
plants are then cool and loss liable to
polo rot or sweat by adopting this me
thod of harvesting. In hanging the
plants avoid crowding, as space is as
much an object with tobacco growers
as with newspaper mon, and If the
plants are over-crowded, tho leaves are
nr to swoat and rot. In about two
Iweeks however, the danger is passed
and the leaves will have commenicod to
"curo dowi," changing at first from
green to yellow Ild from yellow to
brown, th natural color of the loaf.
Too rapid curing is not desirable, sice
the leaf is apt to be dry and husky,
rather than soft and silky. Keep the
sheds as dark as possiblo If dark-color
ed leaf is sought for, and open the doors
if a lighter shade Is wished for. Close
th- door.s next the s1u at ll times, and
openl on the other side, but openl all
during the night, unless the weather is
very mnggy-a llost dangerous time
tor the curting process and the time
when pole rot and sweat will ensue.
After the plants or leaves are all "cured
down1,' close the shed.; tight so that
the color may even up, but should a
dlamp spell como oil, oion the doors,
but not if rali beats in oin to the leaves.
Before cutting the plants see that all
rc t,horoughly suckered,as the ofishoots
are liable to grow when hung up, and
the curing leaves como In contact with
them are apt to rot and bo otherwise
uijured. Tobacco plants may be hung
either with twine or string, on laths,
as may be thought best. Both modes
of hanging In the sheds have their ad
vocates, many claimingthat wlen hung
on laths the eaves cure better and are
loss liable to sweat or rot. Well-ripen
ed tobacco will cure faster than when
only partially ripe; hence there is less
danger from rotting when tile plant is
thoroughly matured. Havana seed to
bacco must not be cut unless well-rl
pened, as the leaves wilt be bitter in fla
vor If cut when green. The plants of
this variety should stand in the nield so
long as there is no danger from frosts,
say from eighteen to twenty-four days
after beIng topped, and in some cases
evel longer. On low grounds, where
the early frost nips the vegetation, the
plants should be carefully watc d
and cut, even if not ripe; since k -
Vero frost, or any frost, oven a ''white"
onie, unfilts the leaves for use, and sico
unripo tobacco Is better than that touch
ed by this merciless foe of the weed.
RATs. -Tile damage by rats is one of
the most serious losses to which farmers
are subjected. On the whole, this loss
Is doubtless greater than that from all
the fires whileh occur upon farms. We
havo tried a preparation oalled ' Pol
soned Wheat," put up for the purpose
of destroying vermin, and find it very
et'ective. The rats disappear; that is,
all that Can be notleed. But poison of
any kind should be used so thiat fowls
or other ailillals Cannot get it. ro de
stroy the rats is nowv a tlimely work,
anid will preveit much future loss of
graiin.

forec. 830mol Ilowers wvill r'equire wveeks to
dry, while otheors will become suflciently
dry to pult awvay in a week or tell days. By
arr'aniging these0 with grasses anid Puatting
them onl wire stemls they wvill make1c a pretty
bouaquet mlixedl with pressed ferns. A prletty
way to preservo cut flowvers is to pla1ce a
vase conltaining tile cut flowers in tile cOnl
tre of a flat dlish, into whichl a little water
hils bleen p)oulred ; Insert a bell glaiss over
tihe vase(, so thaIt tIhe rhui of tIhe glass is cover
edi by tile water', thuIs forming an1 ari-tighit
chambilIer. Tile air sulr0runding the flowers
wvilh be kept constantly moi0st, and0 wvill re~
main so as long as thec supply of water In
tile (1181 Is kept und(Iiminlished. I recoin
mendl( those wvho love to see plenty of [fresh
flowers in thleir Bitting roomis m1 dry
weathler to adopt this lan. The experi
men'Rt cani be tried Onl a smlall 8sca1e by invert
ing a tumlibler over a rosebud In a sacer of
water'. If some camphor hlas been dissolv
ed1 in the saucer It wvill greatly assist In
keeping tile flowers fresh. Viohets amay be
preservedI for a long time by stclig thaem
with shaort stems1 lito a glass dish filled with
damp silver sand, and then ianvertiang a tumli
bIer over them. -Flowers miay be preservedi
for many mlonlths by dipping them careful-i
ly, as soon1 as gathered, In perfectly limlpidl
gum1 wvater ; after allowing theam to drain
for two or three milintes, ar'ranige thlemi In

monts, professors of muso and others, whose
high charaeter and prominence as musicians
it this community cannot be questioned ; and
they all attest, as to its merite, tbo puro rich
tones which it givem are perfectly exquisito,
and its Malliushok's scale give it an attraction
and value which is not possessed by instru
monts of other tuake.
We can but congratulate you on the h'gh
standard which your most excellent pianos
lisvo attained, and ninat bonpr ak for thein a

this Company for our own pot sonal friends,
and having found them to be all that was
cla mod for them after years of th<.rouglh trial,
and having repeatedly visited their factor-. in
Ncw York city, we are preparod to assert, from
our own knowlego of the manufacti:rere and
organs, that their work is not excelled by any
manufacture now in the market.-N. Y. lude
pondent.
8o thorough is the Inspeation of the various
pa' t8, and (f the whole, that when an instru
ncnt goes out of the house a guarantee for
live years-long enough to break down and
wear out two common organs-is given the
purchaser. The JuLilee Orgais is eminently
an ortan for tht poo, l.- Louisville Ky., Com
