'The fact is not generally known that within threo hours’ ride of Bos ton a large and profitable business has been carried on since 184o along the seashore, and is nothing inure Dor less than ‘farming under the sea.’ Everywhere upon the coasts of Eastern New England may be found, ten feet below the water¬ marks, the lichen known as. carttgeen the ‘Irish moss’ of commerce. It may be torn from the sunken rocks any whore, and yet tho little seaport ofSciluatois almost the only place in--the country where it is gathered -and cured. This villAgo is the great center of the moss business in Un country, and the entire Union draws its supplies from these beaches. Long l-akes arc used in tilling this marine farm, and it does not take long to fill tae many dories that nwnit the lichen, torn from its salty rock-bed. The husbands and lath ers gather the moss from the Kea, End the wives and daughters prepim it for inai'Kut. Soak it iu water and it will melt away to a jelly. Iloil it in milk and a delicious while and creamy blono mango in tho resu't The annual product is from 10,000 1G,000 barrels, and it brings into the town, which sum is shared by 150 families. Its consumption in tho nicking of lager beer is vtn large, and the entire beer in'crest of the country draws its supplies IV um Scitualo beaches, as tho importation from Ireland lias aim at ceased, li is not generally known that (la moss, as an article of diet, is called ‘soa moss farino.’ The Tricks of the Cotton Busi ness. ‘How do you dink do cotton pis ness vill come oud dis year, Minder Hoffenstein T anid Hoi man, uh hi dusted i- fl'a shoo box and at ranged an overcoat on a pile of clothing, ‘Veil, dot vas u pisness,’ respond¬ ed ^Hoflenstein, ‘vat I don’t tiko to exbress myself aboud, uml veil efer ] dink uf do money 1 advanced, uu*i vat I uefer get any more, I get so mad 'lot I feels I vill die rigbd avuy tail do ultobli-xy.’ ‘ Vho vas it Bviudled you, Misder H|m»tein Tt ?' vas a nigger, Herman, und his name vas Isaut.

The United States department of state has reclevedan interesting re port from Consul Da Negro, ot St. Paul de Loando, West const ol Ain on, in regard to the trade of that country und the barbarous customs of the natives of Doudo in tbc pro¬ vince of Angola. The following is an extract from the report: When dead thu common negro is buried anywhere, may bo a few yards from the door of his cupula, or the middle of Itio routl. Solms, or native ohieb are interred with inure cerentt ny. For three months the corpse is kept above the ground sitting in a chair, and daily enveloped in new pieces of cloth, which are stolen in the night by his former subjects. Alter this lapse of time he is deposited in hit, grave, two grown-up slaves being decapitated and their bodies being interred with him, as well as a boy and girl both alive, the toimer hold mg (be Sobas pipe ami the latter a vessel with water. Another barlm firm not yet abolished is judgment by fetish, viz , the accused man to show his innocence, deiiberateb swallows a certain amount of deadly vegetable | oison; if he vomit it, he is innocent, but if lbs stomach retains it ho is guilty of the crime imputed to him ami <1 es. • <n^- ---- He Was a Stumbling Block. Negroes arc sometimes very cave fill not, to say anything to injure the reputation of a neighbor. A g< title man stopped at a cabin w in re an old negro woman lived, and while wait¬ ing for one of the children to gel a bucket of water, entered into a con¬ versation iviili her concerning tin crop prospects. ‘[ did hub fo* or five fine hogs,’ said II ci old woman, ,‘bnt dat’s dwin died down till I ain’t got but one now.’ ‘Somebody nteid Hum?’ ‘I nebor talks ’bout my neighbors, an’ doan like ter say what became ot de shouts. Inciter makes mischief 1 doesn't.* ‘Dili tho hogs die ?’ ‘Da mu-ter died ; hut. ycr ain’t a gwine ter git. me say nothin’ agin my neighbors. De man what libiid u. lar is dead now, an' I ain’t gwmelei my nut bin’ agin him.’ ‘Doyou think that lie took them?’ ‘.Ulster, dat, man’s dead, an l 1 dean wauier say nuthin agin him; but lemine toll ycr, while dat man was l bin’ he was a powerful sintub in’ block ter hogs .’—Airkanmi Traveler. Beef tea lias boConm a popular bn / room beverage in Omaha. Tho d- - mund, which begun to bo lively early in the autumn, has now attained siv-lt proportions that tho prohibition folks are perfectly delighted Said a pliilosphie.al barkeeper to a reporter ihe other day : ‘At first, we langhe ; ■it the idea of going to the trouble ot making it, but now we laugh brcuin-u wo do make it. Vo soil over 100 drinks per day, nnd as it is a fifteen cent drink there is no reason why \vc should not smile. Who drink, it do you ask ¥ Why everybody ; th< man about town who has been out with tho boys comes in ihe ulieruooi and braces lus system with beef tea ; the temperance man who drops it with a bibulous tricnd takes beef tea, and, in tact, everybody is becoming a sluvu to it.’ In England Ihi re is niuro land ly¬ ing idle in sporting grounds, gum. preserves and landlords’ park, tlmi the whole kingdom of Be'gimu which supports, in happiness an< prosperity (1,000,000 peoplt>, and sore large food exports to London.
