A PEPPERMINT KING.
Account of a Unique Industry
ofWayno County, N. Y.
A Small Area Where Seven-Eighths of
the World's Peppermint is Raised.
Along the banks of the Garnnguii
I! ver, which flows through the southern
portion of Wayne county, N. Y., may
seen large fields of green-colored
plants about eight indies in height ex
tending over nn extensive area. To a
botanist rrentha peperita is the name by
which it is known, but to the world iti
general it is peppermint. In this small
area seven-eighths of all the peppermint
in the world is raised. The low, mucky
land is plowed in the spring. It is then
laid off in furrows eighteen inches apart,
and sets, portions of old plants, are
planted closely together in the row.
This is done early in April; the roots
are transplanted every other year. It
takes about eight square sods of roots as
thev lie upon the ground to plant an
acre. The roots that arc planted this
rear after the crop is gathered, will be
transplanted in every other row for next
year's crop. The first year’s crop is al
ways the best, because the plant is then
freest from weeds. Usually they are al
lowed to run only two years, after which
the ground is ploughed under. When
the plants have grown to about
two and a half feet in height they ri- .
pen.
The harvest begins usually in the last
of August. It is cut like clover, with a
cradle, and raked into cocks, when it is
allowed to wilt a little before it is taken
to the distillery; the process of distilla
tion continues until the last of October.
The plant is brought from the fields in
large wagons and tightly packed in
steam-tight vats; the steam is let into
the bottom of the vat, and the oil from
the plants volatilized. The oily vapor
and steam pass through a condensing
worm into a receiver, where the oil, be
ing lighter than water, is dipped off,and
is then put up in tin cans,holding twenty
pounds, and taken to the refinery of 11.
G. Hotchkiss of Lyons, where it is refined
and put into twenty-one-ounce bottles,
eighteen bottles in a case, labelled
and shipperl to all parts of the civilized
world.
Mr. Hotchkiss is justly styled the
“peppermint king.” “The average crop
peryearin Wayne county,” he said, “is
between 80,003 and 100,000 pounds, and
yields on an average about twenty
pounds to the acre in a good season.
Seven-eighths of the whole crop in the
world is raised in Wayne county, and
that principally in the towns of Lyons,
Arcadia, Palmyra, Sodus and
Wolcott. A large proportion of the oil
is exported. /
“Oil of peppermint has many uses. It
is used for medicinal purposes in general;
is an important agent in cholera. It is
also used in flavoring confectionery and
in perfumes, essences and peppermint cor
dials, the latter being a favorite drink
with Europeans. It is used as a house
hold medicine all over the world,
and for childrens’ complaints is unrival
led.”
“How much of the oil do you handle?”
“More than three-quarters of the crop
raised in 'this county, and more than
any other one man in the world. I have
been in the business since 1839 and had
a varied experience. In 1879 the yield
was the largest ever known, aggregating
150,000 pounds. This year it will be
hardly one-third of that.
“The market is now at a standstill,
owing to the uncertainty of the growing
crop. Last year’s crop is nearly all
marketed. Tne average price paid for
the last three months has been from
$3.75 to $4 per pound for the crude oil.
In 1879 it was down to $2. I have known
the market to jump $1 per pound in a
single day.
“One farmer last year brought into
our refinery a common sleigh-load, which
was found to be worth S4OOO.
You can see from this how much money
there is in peppermint.”— Buffalo E.c
preis.
Diet of Strong Men.
The Roman soldiers, who built such
wonderful roads and carried a weight of
armor and luggage that would crush the
average farm hand, lived on coarse
brown bread and sour wine. They were |
temperate in diet, and regular and con I
stant in exercise. The Spanish peasant
works every day and dances half the |
night, yet eats only his black bread, 1
onion, and watermelon. The Smyrna
porter eats only a little fruit and some ,
olives. He eats no beef, pork, or mut- ,
ton, yet he walks off with his load of i
800 pounds. The coolie, fed on rice, is '
more active and can endure more than
tho negro fed on fat meat. The heavy
work of the world is not done by men
who eat the greatest quantity. The fast
est or longest winded horse is not the
biggest eater. Moderation in diet seems
to be the prerequisite of endurance.—

Hard on the Boot.
We had one chap, David Gintncr, whe
was the luckiest fellow to get out of a
fight you eyr "aw. He would get hold
of the first wounded man and conduct
him from the field, but he did not return;
or he would catch some galloping horse
and “take care of it” while the battle
lasted. His dodges were numberless.
Threats of court-martial had no terrors
for Dave; he was always tn line when
fighting begun, but Smilingly managed
to get out in a few minutes. Os course he
was a subject of ridicule, but he was able
to meet the taunts of his comrades with
“didn’t Igo in with you?” “Wasn’t I
there?” etc. At Gettysburg he was in
his place, and though he had managed
to dodge so long, he sa.d: ‘'B >ys, you
won’t miss me to-day unless I get hurt.”
We went into battle on the second day.
The third corps were flying from Round
Top like a flock of sheep. The fifth
corps and the first division of the second
corps moved up and took their places.
Colonel Norris knows what he is talking
about. Well, Dave Gintner went into
the fight, saying to the boys, “I admit I
have taken every advantage to get from
under fire, and so would you have done,
only you didn’t have the wit, but now,
here in Pennsylvania, I fight it out as
long as I have a cartridge left.” No
mortal was ever more delighted than
Dave; he got a shot in the leg and went
hobbling off the field. He was so
ecstatic that he plied every one with the
question: “How many shots did you fire
before you were wounded?” In answer
to their reply he would say: “Well, 1
got off sixteen.” When the surgeon came
to examine him, “I am wounded in the
leg, doctor.” The effort to get off his
boot was so painful to Dave that the sur
geon at last grasped a knife and split the
boot clean down to the toe. Blood had
soaked his stocking, and blood streamed
out of the boot, and Dave’s leg was very
gory. He groaned as the surgeon
sponged the blood and sought for the
wound. At last he found it. The bail
had passed through the boot, just
ploughed p furrow through the calf ol
his leg, deep enough to start the blood a
little freely, and that was all. “Am 1
badly hurt, doctor?” said Dave, exult
antly. “Humph!” said Dr. Wishart, “I
pity your boot, but deuce take your leg,”
and off he went. — Phi'udelphia Jfewn.
Washing the Eye wiih Soap Water.
A physician over on the west side has
a peculiar theory about the eye. “Eyes
need washing out just as much as the
rest of the body needs bathing,” says he.
“In a windy town like Chicago, where
soft coal is so generally burned, and the
air so filled with flying particles, the na
tural cleansing mechanism of the eye is
overtaxed, and the result is soreness, or, at
least, a state of low inflammation, which
renders the organ peculiarly susceptible
to fatigue and predisposed to dimness or
confusion of vision. I have been troubled
a good deal in this way, especially when
reading at night, but one evening I
accidentally made a discovery. While
washing my face I got some soap water
into my left eye, with the usual smarting
and tearfulness. This lasted only a few
minutes, and I then found that eye in
better shape than for a long time before,
and with stronger and clearer vision than
the other one. Since that evening I
have regularly washed out my eyes with
a mild decoction of fine toilet soap and
water just enough to make a little
smarting and always with relief. The
bath not only cools the eye, bu. moistens
and cleanses it after the day’s exposure
to the dusty air. I believe that soap
water is as good for the eyes as it is
for the ears, neck and face.— Chicago
Herald.
Pickled Rabbits.
Rabbits appear to be as numerous and
destructive in the California valleys as
they are in Nevada, and an exchange tells
of a novel and effective method of deal
ing with them in the San Joaquin Valley.
One of the settlers there had occasion to
be out in his alfalfa one night, carrying
a lantern with him, and he found that the
rabbits seemed to be fascinated by the
illumination, and made no effort to run
away, but sat and stared until the man
almost stepped on them. Acting on this,
and fastening a light to the crown of
his hat, so as to give both hands free ac
tion, he was enabled to shoot large num
bers of the pests at small expense. Here,
now, is a suggestion. Out in the eastern
part of this State untold millions of the
finest and fattest of hares and rabbits
roam thickly among the fragrant sage
brush, far mure numerous than ever be
fore known. By means of the old “fire
hunting ” style mentioned above, two oi
three ordinary shot-gunners could shoot,
clean, and pickle a barrel a day of real
nice rabbit meat, such as would sell
readily in the East at SSO or SIOO per
barrel most anywhere as a N rvada lux
ury.— Virginia City Enterprise.
The Cam<-1 and the Goat.
A goat one day met a camel and said:
“Hello, old fellow, you seem to have
your back up this morning.” “Oh!
you are too low flung for my use,” re
terted the cjunei, as he kicked the goat
forty yards down a steep hill.
Moral: This fable teaches the bad
policy of laughing at the afflictions ot

It is said that a great many ladies who

The reason why coachmen are so pop’

A Singular Discovery.
At the end of last October, a Paris
correspondent says, a landslip occurred
at Chaucelade, in consequence of which
a quarry befow fell in, burying a number
of workmen. For some days afterwards
sounds were heard, and smoke was seen
issuing from the quarry, which it was
believed came from a fire lighted by the
men as a signal. Some time, however,
elapsed before any explorations were un
dertaken. At length passages to a cer
tain distance were opened, but no vestige
of human remains could be found.
Further investigations were subsequently
made, but with a like result, and the
conclusion arrived at was that the bodies
must have been crushed by the falling
rocks at a greater distance inward than
could be reached.
Not satisfied with this conclusion,
however, several of the victims’ comrades
resolved a few days ago to attempt to
penetrate into a portion of the quarries
which they judged not to have been suf
ficiently examined. The result was that
two bodies were found, together with
the clothes of at least five men. Among
them were those of a man who had gone
into the quarry after the disaster in
search of his son. The intricacies of the
approaches seem to have been such that
this man was unable to find his way back
and conduct the men through the
passages by which he had entered. The
emaciated bodies found appear to have
been gnawed by rats. What has become
of the bodies of the other men whose
clothes were found is not known. Two
skeletons were found lying at full length
with the faces turned towards the
ground.
The engineers are severely blamed by
public opinion for not exercising greater
promptness in their attempts to reach the
interior of the quarry, and the magis
trates have opened an inquiry on the
subject. It is certain that air was not
excluded from the quarry, and, there
fore, that the men died of starvation.
After the Quartz.
“Gentlemen, Arizona is a great coun
try; lots of gold, lots of fresh air. You’d
ought to see the mineial! quartz
everywhere.”
A red-nosed toper edged his way to
the bur eagerly.
“Scuse me, mister, but is them quartz
frequent in ’Zona.”
Frequent! why, man, every settler has
quartz to give away ; and on the river—
the bars are full of it.”
The tramp seized his bundle.
“I’m going after them quartz you tell
about. No more thimble drinks for me.
Quarts at every bar! If the walking’s
good I'll get thur; don't forget it!”

THE LATE GEN. SIBLEY.
A Gallant I'a-Conlederate wha I'eaervcd a
Belter Fate.
Thia distinguished soldier, late of the
Egyptian army, previously of the Colt
federate, ami originally of the United
State* army, died lately nt his residence
in Fredericksburg, Va., aged seventy.
He had suffered for years with a painful
and wasting malady, and death cline to
him as a fescue ami a friend.
Henry 11. Sibley was born at Natehi
toelies, La., July, 1816. He was gradu
ated nt the military academy. West Point,
in 1838. ami served with distinction in
the Florida ami Mexican wars and in the
Utah and Nevada expeditions. At the
breaking out of the rebellion he had been
promoted to be major of the Ist Dra
goons. On May 13, 1861, however, he
resigned and entered the Confederate
army. After the collapse of the reltellion
he went to Mexico and thence to Egypt,
where his conspicuous military ability
at once secured him a high jtositjon in
the khedive’s army.
He was one of that brilliant galaxy
with W. W. Loring, Thomas (). Rhett
and others, who exiled themselves after
the downfall of the cause in which they
were engaged, and who in the prime of
their powers and the ripeness of their ex
perience, lent prestige to the arms of
Egypt, Rhett died, Sibley soon fell a
prey to disease and had to seek an asylum
at home. And now, after long and
weary years of suffering, intensified by
poverty and want, the broken old man,
once so gallant and so gracious, turns his
face to the wall forever.
General Sibley was the inventor of the
tent by his name, and at the time of his
resignation from the army in 1861, held
a contract with the government by virtue
of which the United States is to-day
very largely his debtor. He has never
been able to obtain a recognition of bis
claim, or even secure the privilege of
submitting it to judicial inquiry. He
lay a bed-ridden invalid for years, plunged
in direst poverty. He died, leaving a
penniless and helpless family. But the
thousands standing to his credit in the
treasury, representing many times that
amount of profit derived by the govern
ment from his invention, have been de
nied him, and we assume will be with
held from his successors.
There will be many of the class of
1838 to recall the brilliant and dashing
young Southerner, and to breathe a sigh
over the pitiful close of a career that be
gan under such brilliant auspices.— N. Y.

The Spoils of Politics in England.
I have been analyzing the list of Min
isterial appointments. I find that forty
seven members, either of the Peerage or
of the families of Peers, or of the un
titled landocracy, have received places,
carrying with them fat salaries. To the
victors belong the spoils. It is not so
very surprising that the privileged classes
should wish to clutch at ofliee, in view
of the booty which, under such circum
stances, accrues to them. Besides these
appointments, a number of Peers are
given an addition to their incomes by
their wives receiving salaries for being
lay figures in court tomfooleries. This
is the apportionment of the spoils to
Peers and to Peers’ sons:
Lord Salisbury, £5,000 per annum;
Lord Halsbury, £10,000; Lord Ash
bourne, £8,000; Lord Cranbrook, £2,000;
Lord Iddesleigh, £5,000; the Hon. E.
Stanhope, £5,000, Lord Randolph
Churchill, £5,000; Lord George Hamil
ton, £5,000; Lord John Manners, £2,000;
Sir R. Cross (with a peerage), £5,000;
the Hon. F. Stanley, £5,600; Lord Lon
donderry, £20,000; Lord Dunraven,
£2,000; the Hon. W. Broderick, £1,200;
the Hon. 11. Northcote, £1,200; Lord
Charles Beresford, £1,200; Ixird Lnthom,
£2,000; Duke of Portland, £2,500; Lord
Mount-Edgcumbe, £2,000; Lord Arthur
Hill, £1,000; Lord Lewisham, £1,000;
Lord Folkestone, £1,000; Lord Onslow,
£700; Lord Limerick, £1,000; Lord
Henniker, £700; Lord Hopetoun, £700;
Lord Elphinstone, £700; Lord de Ros,
£700; Earl Waldegrave, £700; Lord
Beauchamp, £1,000; Lord Harris, £2,-
000; Hou. S. Herbert, £1,200; Lord
Coventry, £1,700; Dord Barrington,
£1,200: Lord Kintorc, £I,OOO.
Total, £IIO,OOO to Peers and sons of
Peers. Besides this, the duchess of
Buccleuch receives £SOO as Mistress of
the Robes, and eight Peeresses£sooeach
as Ladies of the Bedchamber.
