Farmiug Under Llie Sea.
'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 United States department of

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¬

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

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

‘Doyou think that lie took them?’

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.’
