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.— Adv ce. Philanthropic Gent—“Do you ever wash your face?" Mendicant—“l wash it every morning with great regularity, sir.” P. Gent—“l would advise you to wash it with soap, too.”— Fre Freeei. 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 deformed people, and hints that polite ness is never thrown away.— Life. Sween for the Sweet. Women arc the funniest when they say nothing; but women are so seldom funny. Susan says she enjoys seeing the girls go in bathing. She loves to see them spit the sand out of their mouths. Dm you ever get your girl by an ice cream saloon on a hot day without stop ping, and vet retain her good opinion? If so, how? India long shawls are now made into dressing-gowns for men. That ends the talk about the extravagance of women who cut them up for wrappers. Waiting-maid—Good morning, doc tor. My lady sends me to beg you to come to her husband as quickly as possi ble. She does not wish him to die, without your assistance. It is said that a great many ladies who are enthusiastic homeopathists think that their favorite school of medicine is called homeopathy because they can practice it at home. If you watch a woman's mouth closely when she dresses the children for Sun day-school, you will find out w iere all the pins come from, and of course it must be where they all go. In some paits of France betrothed ladies wear a scarlet bow on the left shoulder. In some parts of America they wear a green beau on the left and right shoulder, alternately. The reason why coachmen are so pop’ ular with the ladies need not be sought very far. Barnum's baby show of twenty years ago awarded the first premium to a coachman’s baby. A boston woman cat her dress from a pattern in a magazine dated 1870 before she discovered that it wasn’t 1880 and it took three doctors to tide her over that long, lonely night. A squaw refused to marry a Canadian Indian, and he took her scalp—a lock of her hair, as it were. She then married him, and it wasn’t long before he hadn't hair enough for a scalp lock. A timid Bostonian hail married a lady whose weight verges up to two hundred pounds. “My dear,” said he to her, “shall I help you aver the fence?” “No,” says she to him: “help the fence.” “Is it fair,” asked Mrs. Easy, “to allow your husband to attend a fair with some other fair, and pay her fare? ” “Hardly fair, and if it was my husband, she’d fare hard,” responded Mrs.Gripcm. A Gebman, complaining of the over shadowing influence of militarism: “See the effect on your children; if you have handsome, well-made boys they join the military; if girls, the military joins them.” 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!” No oini. who gets up in the morning and does the family washing while her mother rests in bed can expect to—be she never so handsome—can expect to—lx: ■be never so learned, and willing, and genteel—can she expect to—let her swing her dress like a Parisian—she can not please the dudes. * ■ M Gronnln* «i a Bed «f Atony, In the throes of rte umutism which has reached the inflammatory rtage, 'he invalid lia> jtut canae lo deplore the inefficiency of medicmia which could mither uproot the disease at its ouis'art. nor avert its dreaded cl max.

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. Sun. 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. A Chicago num visiting Cincinnati was being shown around by a citizen who said: “Now let's go and see the Widow’s Home.” The Chicago man put his finger to the side of his nose and winked, and then said, “Not much Mary Ann; I saw a widow home once, and she sued me for breach or promise and proved it on me, and it cost me sixteen thousand dollars. No, sir; send the widows home in u hack.” Mr.A. Fuegcr, CM Walnut Street, St. Louis, Mo., buffered for two years with lumbago, and was confined to his l>ed for several month*.
