SANCTUM TRAGEDIES. CI-osino i-ctne-* in' the i.ife of a NUMBER oh new 1 oiiii editoks. { | What John Swiuton Who Knew Them 1 Well lias to !Say about Them. There has been widespread grief among the newspaper men of New York over tie tragical ending, a few days ago, of the life of John B. Wood, familiarly known as Doc Wood, the “Great Ameri can Condenser” of the Sun , by shock and exposure through falling into the ice-bound river at midnight. The tragedy of his death brings to my mind a Bcore of other tragedies of the sanctum that have cast a lurid light over the years of my career upon the press of New York. I will tell of a few of the more notable of them, without going far back in my memory. The first editor of the New York World, which was started as an ortho dox religious paper, was Mr. Spaulding, a grave, taciturn man of large frame and powerful intellect. When the World fell into financial straits and threw re ligion overboard, about 1863, Mr. Spaulding took a place upon the editor ial staff of the Times, under Henry J. Raymond, whose first assistant I then was; and there he showed himseif to be the boldest master of nolitical invective ever known on the American press. To recruit his health, he made a voyage to New Orleans, hut on an excursion up the Mississippi his boat met with ill luck, and he was cast on a deserted bank of land where he almost starved to death, The first I knew of his return to New York was at a very late hour of one night, toriifi when, being on duty in the, edi quarters' of the publication a “whistle up the pipe” from that the Mr. Spaulding office, and a message had muttered my name, hurried me down stairs. I found him prostrate on his back upon the stone flooring, entirely evidently struck sciouk. by paralysis, and he upcon In a lew moments caught my voice, and began stammering out Latin words, disjointed quotations from Virgil, Horace and his other favorite an thors/ occasionally pressing his head with his hands and breaking into a sort of wild laugh. It was after mid night by the City Hall clock when I left bis side, hastened oyer to the old New York Hospital, then in Broadway, rang up the young doctor in charge, who agreed to take him in, returned to the Times with a stretcher, called down four compositors, who lifted the prostrate man from the floor, and accompanied them back to the hospital, where I saw him placed safely upon half a cot under a doctor’s charge. It was an hour of the time for going to press when I got back to the editor’s sanctum, and if the editorial'columns of next day’s Times were sliort or otherwise imperfect, the reason is now for tlie first time told. Though Mr. Spaulding was over fifty years old, he had been married but a few months before,and in the wife, morning 1 telegraphed, to his young th*m in one of sugared the towns up the Hudson River, who hour* at the hospital in a very She tended him devotedly during-the days in the which cot, and he could then had not be removed from him taken to her father’s country home, Where he soon afterward bowed his head in death. In this tragical way ended the life of the first editor of the New York World, a man of great soul and honest purpose. Even more tragical was tlie closing scene, in June, himself, 1869, of the life of Hen*y J. Raymond the distinguished founder and editor of. the New York Times. He had been at the Times on the afternoon of the night in which he was found dead, and inquired for me; but I happened to be engaged pit elsewhere in a work which he had upon me writing a criticism of Woolsev’s “Reform Against Nature,” then just published, Leaving word that he desired to see me S °usual his chee-v mood took dinner at _T his ’ house ‘ in Ninth street ’ and then went 1 .... . .• p t j,pi • known of his subsequent movements > 11 ,Hi mirlnirrlif S of tW flnv driwI fTiiiip dS 18) when I k who was S >• k>. iioorinir i l'm'qe found him £^Kfa^ea^ar1efTn €■ir, ?STpr£ lever . P v... clewed Q if ll q trncrpilv fS neierye v et cl— P- the very j 7 years of my manhood, Mr. Raymond had given me my first opportunity on the press by inviting me to his paper, and during the ten years that preceded, included, and followed the great war for abolition, or from 1859 to 1869, when I was his daily associate, he proved him self to be the most amiable of men, as he was one of the most accomplished ed 'tors. But • with the fewest I set out to tell, words, the tragedies of a score of New York editors of my acquaintance, in a single column, and already f. find it near ly full. * The tragedy of the ^ death m a mad house of Horace Greeley, the founder and editor of the New York Trib une — who has not been shocked by the story ot it.

Time fails me fo tell of fhe lesser lights—Chase, of the Herald, Ned Sey¬ mour and Mills, of the Times, Adams, of the Sun, and how many others. What a jjjj e 0 y tragedies of the sanctum is un rolled before my eyes !—tragedies which have shocked my spirit every year since first I stood, as a stripling, within the innermost circles of the daily press of New York.. The tragedy of poor Doc Wood is the latest off the roll. I Beans. The common beau is believed to have be originated in the East, and is still said to found wild in Persia and other parts of Central Asia. In its natural state it is bitter and scarcely edible, being small, tough and stringy, though it quickly yields to cultivation and becomes an ex cellent article of diet. There are a number of varieties grown ! from the several species, the most rc-, markable of which are the French kid-1 ney bean (haricot) which has been raised from the seed of the “ phaseolus vul garis," the sword bean of India foul the Lima bean of America, both of which are of the species known as “ doliches.” The common bean is frequently trained as hut a vine upon frames, bushes or poles, the I | the variety chiefly cultivated is ! bunch or shrub bean, which grows into a small eighteen bushy inches slump, generally twelve to in height; of these ■ the cherry and wax beans are the favor- : ites. . ! Beans require for tlieir successful growth rich, well-prepared they soil, which polls they, do not rounded exhaust; and bear oblong; which with seeds, those are to he used for dried seed; which have thick, fie iliy pods, have flattened seed; these are consumed more 4 or the vegetable nature of the pods than for the seeds vltlifh them, atid are termed string-beans. When they are dried the pods are useless, tftid the seed or the bean proper is the valuable feature. In this condition they are. 'of great value as a food article, having 84 per cent, of nu tritious matter, while wheat, whiifh is looked upon as a gr$atstate 1 of exfstAce, has but 74. They are also excellent food for horses, and are more nourishing than oats. Beans were well known to the ancients, many of whom looked upon them un .favorably. This is supposed mystic to have resulted from certain properties being attributed to them, and from their being occult used in incantations and ceremonies. They were also fre queptly used as ballots, the white for the affirmative and the black for the negative. Ovid gives a description in of an important domestic ceremony, which the master of the family, after carefully washing liis hands three times, throws a quantity of black beans over his head nine times, exclaiming, these “Ire deem myself and family by The exact object of this ceremony is not “ made clear. Pythagoras urged abstinence from beans, believing their use would produce sensuality and grossness; the Egyptian oil! priests objected to their use grounds, and believed that even tliekiglit 0 f beans rendered one unclean ; no one who even cultivated the plant was per mitted to approach a temple or shrine unti Zt l they had performed certain strin ablutions. String and Lima beans have both bo come favorite articles for canning, are T hermetically sealed in large demand quanti w’e t es , which meet with great and consumption. Limas are is especially regarded with favor, as it a matter when properly canned to distill puit Baltimore R them from the fresh article.

His first summer on Long island showed the natives that he was capable of advancing the price of oab bage—£500,000 worth was destroyed in one season in the suburbs of New York. He has followed the tide of civilization and gone West. The problem now is, what will kill the worm and not injure the cabbage ? We would suggest that the deliverance must come by pseveut ing the moth from laying the eggs on cabbage. We have suggested to our neighbors to try tying newspapers, or sacking, or netting of any kmd, over the cabbage plants during the preva h irlce of the moth ; when it disappears the covering to be removed Few of all the remedies so far named bavo given satisfaction Prof. C V.
