Tho fruit doce net easily pull from tho stem
and, in order to ship a long dlstsnoe, the stem

and continues until the first week in July.

The manufacture of “buffalo-horn" fornl-
luro has become an industry In Now York.
Tlio horns aro not tlioso of the bison, as Is
commonly bcllovod, but are from cattle killed
in tho abbatolrs. They are sold at the alaugh-
ter houses for a little more than what the but
ton manufacturers give, aro cleaned, dried,
scraped and polisbod. The cost of making
these horned goods is loss than that of carved

although ho was a Hanker Democrat,
he hud been sheltering a fugitive slave
from Maryland in his house for two

Growth of Population.
It Is exceedingly instructive to observe tho
growth of populution, estimated, In different
parts of the country. The Sanitary Engineer
publishes the weekly mortality statistics of
thirty-one eitlos, with estimates of population,
percentage of deaths, cto. From the last issue
it appears that Boston now has 435,000 inhabi
tants, a gain of about 75,000 ainco 1880.
Brooklyn is put down at 070,000, a gain of 104,-
000. Chicago is placed at 650,000, a gain of
nearly 160,000. She is picking up on Brook
lyn fast, and will bo ahead In a week or two, at
prevailing rates. Even at theso high estimates
of population, tho mortality in Brooklyn and
Chicago is terrib}e—about 380 per week, or at
the’rato of 30 per 1,000,000 of population per
annum. St, Louis is modestly put down at
875,000 inhabitants, being an estimated in
crease of 25,000 since tho census year, yot tho
deaths arc conBidorably less than half as bany
as in either Ohioago or Brooklyn. It is worthy
of note that the river cities show a lower rate
of mortality than either the lake cities, eastern
cities of Now York, Pennsylvania, and Phils-
„uj>hia or the Now England cities.
The Origin ot Ike “Ulile Book."
Peter Force, a Now York joui ucyman prin
ter, came to Washington in 1815, became tho
proprietor oi a printing office, and originated
and for some yearn uumpilod without charge,
tho "Biennial Register,” better known from
tho color of its binding as tho "Blue Book," of
which the government purohased a small num
ber of copies. Fond of American history, ho
in time collected a largo quantity of rare books
and pamphlets, many of whioh had been
thrown away from tho oxocutive departments
as rubbish, and purchased by him of the deal
ers in waste paper. In 1833 ho originated the
idea of compiling and publishing a document
ary history of tho country under Iho title of
"Tho Amorican Archives,” and in order to
secure the necessary appropriation from Con
gress ho associated himself with Matthew St.
Clair Clarke, the olerk of the House of Repre
sentatives. This publication was a "Job,”
wliioh distributed considerable sums of money,
for a number of years, among the politiciansat
Washington, but it waa the only way in which
Mr. Forco could carry out his plan, and he was
list enriched by it. Ho was instinctively a
gentleman and a worthy diBciple of Faust-
tall, stalwart, with a buahy head of hair and
keen eyes, which would beam with joy when
»iyono brought him » r«e autograph ?F
pamphlet. The slmpltolty of his maimers,
bearing an expression of the gentleness and
purity of his heart, made him beloved, ae wwll
** rovored, by all who knew him. After hi*
death Congress purchased his collection of
hooks and manuscripts, aud it now graces the
Congressional Library.
A New Fire Extinguisher.
A number of the chief offloers in the New
York Fire Department witnessed a most suc
cessful exhibition of a new fire ektlnguishor in
that oity a fow days ago. Tlio experiment is
thus described) In «largo lot somo soautling
had been stacked up liko the rafters of a high
caked roqf, twenty feot long by five wide. A
man had been at work smearing the coantllng
with tar and soaking it with kerosene oil
Next he feathered the cost of tar with a couple
of harrclaful of shavings. He then osme for
ward with a flaming torch, and, upon word
being given, applied it to the eoantling. In a
second tho flames were all over the pile, tearing
away liko mad. After it had burned thres
minutes the oxtluguishor man appeared, carry
ing a small six gallon flro extinguisher on ills
book. He gave a valve at the top a quarter
twist, and turned the stream on the ground
cndB o< tlio scantlings. He kept this up thirty-
five seconds, and then tho last lams ou the top
end of a scantling in tho middle died out.
Ho then Invited tho crowd to placo their hands
on tho charred timbers. They were cold, and
tho oporator claimed that they could not
again ho ignltod. Next a barrel of tar and a
can of koroseno oil were smptied on the
ground and set fire to. The flame and tiest
drove everybody twenty feet away. The opera
tor got a Iftlle nearer, with tho extinguishor on
his hack, gloves on his hands and a mask on
his faco, and put out tho fire In nineteen sec
onds.

What Se Knows About the Charges
of Cannibalism,
A Portsmouth (N. H.) dispatch to tho New
Ych-k fittits nnysj Lieutenant Greuly says of
the disclosures regarding tho condition of
Lieutenant Kislingbury’s body that it is nows,
horrible news, to him. AH tlioso disclosures
and dreadful charges, ho says, came 111*011 him
with awful suddenness, and have mused him
more mental anguish than all the ex|H>rion,v*
from which ho suffered ill tha North.
Tlio lieutenant says that I10 can but report
that If there was any cannibalism, and ho ad.
mits that there now soonn to lie no doubt
About it, tho man-eating was done in secrecy,
without his knowledge and contrary to hit
discipline.
“I can give no stronger denial,” says tin
lieutenant. *'l haVo demanded an Investi
gation, and it will como in time, hut 1 call
■nv nothing more than I liavo already stated.
All tttjr papers. Kislingbury’s diary, 1/ock-
wood’s diary* end, in fact, every scrap of
pa|»er relating to the ox|w*ditio» are In cluirgo
of the war department at Washington.
“Tlio crow of the Thetis can testify that tho
liody of the last man dead.Hcliiiohler, was not
mutilated in any way, and tho fact that wo
kopt Ellison alive in tho !io]h*Icks stato wo
were in ought to convince anybody that wo
tire not cannibals—at least not mi organized
body of cannibals. When I increased |>oor
EllisoH's Hit ions, to tlio detriment of all tlio
rest of us. not a man complained, nit hough
knowing tlmt It decreased our spans of life in
a terrible degree.”
Regarding the story of the trouble between
Kislingbury and hlms ilf, Lieutetiant (Jreely
■ays it occurred in IH8I, t he first, year of tlio
expedition. Kislingbury desired to U» re
lieved from duty, uud Lieutenant Urccly, not
wishing to retain 11 man against Ills will, gave
him iiis llliorty. Ho wont southward, hut tlio
Proteus was sunk, and ho ret urned to duty.
The lieutenant says there were not two fac
tions, with Kislingbury at tho bead of one of
them. When Lockwood died. Kislingbury
was given the second place in the cX|Nvlitioii.
Lieutenant Greoly add* Hint since his re
turn to Iiis cottage hero from Newbury port,
every man of the survivors lias called uimui
him ami assured him separately that*they
knew nothing about the condition of the 1 tod
ies of their fallen comrades. Each man sol
emnly swore that ho was innocent of thodoed’
"I cannot say,” the lieutenant said,
“whether they told tho truth or not, and 1
doubt if an investigation will rovonl who lire
tlio cannibals. Perl in | is those who died lust

The dissent ions among tho Givoly party,
which were more or less marked during all
thoir long stay in tic* Arctic regions, ended
at last, says the Timrit, in a complete divis
ion of the survivors. As timo pes o l at tho
camp 011 Cape Haiti no, anl tho outlook be
came more and more gloomy and luiinnii flesh
WnA finally resorted to as food, tho stronger
ones obtained the lion’s share.
Lieutenant Ureely, Hospital Steward Bicvl-
erbeck and Private (’onnoll were tiie weakest
ones of the party when tlio relief ships arrived.
Nergoant Brainord hail a little strength left.
He stood by (lie »ly as noun the others did.
and supplied him with a share of the
food. Sergeants Ijonff and Fredericks
wero quite strong. Tlio former was
able to go about on short hunting
ex(>editioiia, in which lie was accompanied by
Sergeant Fredericks. The game secured was
shared by tiie two, so selfish had they become
by the desperate extremity to which they were
reduced. The sufferings of tho «tliers did not
apiieal to them. Tlio two sergeants deter
mined to live together and tlio others might
die. All discipline was gone, and it was»
struggle as U» who should live tho longest.
A statement was published from 1/oigh
Binitli, of 1/oiidon. the famous Arctic oxplorei*,
iu which lie wild tliesurvivorsHliould not liavo
i>eon so weak and prostrated if they lmd been
living on human flesh. Tho truth is that tho
first reports of their condition seem to have
been much exaggerated. es|»ociully with
regard to Long, Frtslei icks uml Brainord.
Tho first named walked unassisted
to the stoain launch in a gulo
that tried the sailors of tho relief ships to keep
their feot. Tlio others wero unite weak some
of them too weak to walk. It is also true flint
tho pangs of hunger were not such ns to lead
Long, Fredericks or Brainord to overeat even
lmd they been given the chance. Besides the
duck which Jjong was eating when rescue
came, two other ducks which nod been shot
by him were found liehin 1 rocks near the
winter camp. Here was food for a day or two
carefully put away.
Tho men wore i>oor and thin, hut not re
duced as much as many behove, mid tho
three strongest would undoubtedly have lived
many weeks more without relief. Brainord.
Ijoing by himself, would have been the first
or tiie three to succumb. But I/ong and Fred
ericks, banded together and against thn
others, ns they wero, could have dragged on
their wretched existence. When one of the
party became too Week to got about the in-

Tlio body of Private Williatii Whistler, of tho
Greely arctic expedition, was interred in the
graveyard in Kockfleld, fmtinnn. In the presence
of several surgeons and u iiunibi r of relatives
the grave was opened. It took only 10 minutes
to loosen tho 52 lsfits and rniso the lid of the
casket. The body was wrapped ill tot to It
waste, around Whhilt was a hemp cord. Dis-
I Haring these, a blanket was found noxt to tho
>ody. When I his blanket was removed tho
ghastly sight of a mere skeleton wus seen.
There was nothing of the body left, savo the
head and trunk. All tho flesh had been cut
from the limbs. The arms, logs uml shoulders
wero hare lames.
Strips of flesh had also been takon from the
breast. Tiie left foot, which had been froHoil,
was not touched, attd tho 1 ft hand whs un
harmed. I’lio face was sunken, but uotuuliko
tlio ordinary corpse, and tlio red hair and
short heard made it easy fur Whistler’s friends
to identify him. It wus particularly notice
able that the bones wore picked entirely clean;
not a vestige of flesh is left on thorn. The hack
has nothing on It. In fact, the only things
left of the mnn are his head, breast, intestines,
and the left hand and left foot.
The nppearauco would show that an expert
had done the cutting of the flesh. A thorough
examination by tho physicians showed lhat
the stomach was entirely empty. Tlio head
and neck wore unharmed by blows. Tho bond
was Incased in a knitted cap?, over which was
a sealskin. Tlio skeleton hands wore mils—a
mitten covering Half tho hands. When the
coffin was opened thore was a strong odor of
alcohol, but no further very bad stonch.
The physicians mado no report and will not
unless asked by tho Government officials. They
say that they can report merely a iloshless man
picked as clean as if his bones wero to bo var
nished. The aged grandparents took a look at
the body for a minute only before it was again
fastened in tho casket. They said that tlio
faco was easy recognizable, and as to the hor
rible condition of the body they had but little
to say.
