A Profitable aud Easy Crop for Farmers to Grow. We clip the following from the Jacksonville, .Fla., Times, but per haps it may be of interest to North Carolina as well as Florida farmers : In. casting about for profitable crops iObe grown in Florida, the castor bean, or palma christi, should not be overlooked. One firm in New York city, H I. Baker & Co., man ufacturers of the oil, import yearly from Ceylon an average of 500,000 bushels of .these beans for their own use." A bushel weighs 40 pounds, and costs, laid down' in that, city, from f 1.30 to $2 per bushel, and the price has been known to reach $3 per bushel. This firm does not manufac ture much more than one-half the oil made in the United States, and thus the amount required cannot be lees tnan 750,000 bushels. In 1880 there was reported a product of cats tor oil of 893,802 gallons in the Uni ed States, 436,302 oallons of which was made m Missouri rroni oeans ;rown in Kansas. Illiaots and Mis nvnnt,T hA fllftftnlu snuri - use made of the oil wa3 in medicine. Since that time it has grown into use for lubricating slow running machi nery, wagons, carriages and buggies. It has nearly superseding fish and neat'sf 'f oot oil in dressing leather of all descriptions, and proves far better i l- A. I . . ... , U . I. nearly superseded. The firm above spoken of purify the oil and.-deodorize it for toilet pomades. and fancy soaps, and for U3e in lamps where sperm and other oils have been used, m all of which it has been lound equal if not superior to them Attention has been directea to the oil and the increasing uses and de- rnand, for the purpose of urging the cultivation of plant as a highly re numerating crop for the farmers of Florida to raise. . It can be grown in all parts of the State on any ordinary corn land, and is the reverse of ; an exhaustive crop, inasmuch as all the leaves and stems can be returned into the soil. In those portions of the State where Killing frosts occur, it may be grown at a distance of four feet each way, or 2,360 plants to the acre, and allowing one pint of beans o a plant the yield would -J eighty the nlants survive the distance mav be 66 inches or 1,440 plants to the acre, the yield bemg as high as a pint and a half the nr3t year, and two quarts the second, or a yield per acre of 70 bushels the first year, and 180 bushels the second year. The plants would require no culture after they had reached the height of four feet. unless in the second year it might be required to cut up some large weeds. The plants should be cut down and buried, in the sou as soon as they are killed by frost, and when killed it is advisable to cut down the plants, After the winter crop is tak'en the second time cut them up so that all can be buried in the soil, and follow with either acorn or a second croo castors. If the yields are as above stated, then the value of the crop at only $1 a bushel, is from $70 to $180 per acre. It is desirable to grow a variety or the beans that will readily shell from their outer coverings. For that pur rose it will Drobablv be found best to I " ' use tnosenavmg rea stems, leaves t in r a. a.1 and flowers in preference to the green ones with yellow flowers. The gathering is done by cutting the panacles of seeds off the plants and placing them in bins raised from the ground, with tight floors ; and sides, and without a cover, so that the sun may shine on the beans with full force (though they should be covered to prevent dew or rain fall ink on them,) and they should be often stirred, beaten and turned till they have shelled out, - when the bin can be again filled. .They; are fitted for market by winnowing and sack ed like corn. -; ',. . r ? ' . ' The seed, stems and shells should be returned to the land, or the com- Dost pile, as they, contain valuable elements of manure. The oil cake, although not nt ror reeding to any stock, must oe aoout as ; vaiaaoie ; as cotton seed case for fertilizer ' Considered in all views, we have little or no doubt of the profitable ness ot growing the castor beans by Florida farmers for market. Prosperity ol a California Editor Merced Express. , Some of our creditors intimated to us this week that the printing basi ness must be good. We wish to say that if they have discovered ' any signs of prosperity it was not brought about in any' legitimate business.

C," in the Chicago Tribune recalls in an interesting way a talk he recently had with one of the clerks of the Congressional Library. Said the librarian : "The Supreme Court Justices use the library a great deal both on the bench and off of i . They are continually calling for books of all sorts to aid them in their cases. Now it is a woTk on chemistry, now one cn navigation, and now cnV on American bisccry or Sume mhani cal art. All sorts of questions enter into their cases and they make tx haustive studits in th consideration of them; They also take many books from the library for private use, and it is curious the turn S3me of their astes take. Justice Gray, for in stance, reads French novels a:.d has drawn a thousand within the last" five years. He calls for from six to ten at a time, reads both ' old and new ones, and complains that he can't find enough. It takes him about three ,days to finiah a lot, when he 5ends back for more. Juc'ge Biad ley reads all kinds of books and he reads a great deal. He is fond of looking up curious questions of hia- tory, and has a hobby every now and then which he wants to hunt up. He invents calendars, for instance, for telling the days oc the week and month years ago, and can tell you what da of the week the 5th of No vember, 1601, came on. He is a very learned man, and is possessed of a wide range of information. Judge Harlan is quite a reader. Judge Field is much hke Judge Bradley, without the hobbies. He reads books of. travels, the classics, and is much in terested in the Chinese problem. A day seldom passes that he does not call for some book of reference. The readers of the Senate," this man went on in response to my question, "iare many. Senator Voorhees has often from sixty to one hundred books out of the library at a time. and he reads a great deal in prepar ing for his speeches. He likes the biographies and speeches of states men lives of Clay, Calhoun, Web ster, and their speeches. He reads more for business than amusement. Secretary Bayard is much like Voor hees in this respect, though he does not read as many books. Senator Logan is now reading on the oivil ap. while . working at his book. which is about completed. He has out now thp 'History of the War,' by the Comte de Fans; 'bberman s Me moirs' and , 'Badeau's Grant.' Mr. Biaine read a great deal in preparing for his first volume. He devoured all ihe literature relating to the imes of whic he wrote, and he came to trie norary ana spent nours in reading the newspapers of the peri od. Mr. Cox got a number of books from th Congressional Library, but be did not do any work m it. Cox is a great reader, but his drawings efore this were books of travel argely. Senator Hoar, of Massachu setts, is one of the most learned men in Cbngre-s. . He is very accurate in his knowledge, too, and ho knovv almost as much about books as the ibrarian. He knows the different editions, is up on biography, of Americans especially, and 13 a great student of American history. Sena tor Edmunds is a very learned xnan, and reads books in foreign languages as well as the English. Senator In- galls js a classical scholar and a read- er. sotn ixariana ana Jtcansom are great lovers of, the classics. Ransom is always quoting Virgil, and Gar. land is fond of hunting up the on- in of quotations from Greek and iatin. Senator Vance reads good books. Senator Sherman reads on financial questions, and generally for special purposes ; such as for political and legislative speeches. He reads everything relating to finance. Sena tor Joe crown sometimes reads re ligious matter and also American history." Henry Ward Beeclier aiid a aml. New York World. Some years ago a bright girl came to live in Henry Ward 5echer's ram ily as a domestic. ; She was the daughter of Protestants, who had been devoted in giving her careful religious training. She took another nlace in time, when for the time Mr. Beecher closed his home in Brooklyn The family in which she obtained a situation were composed of devout Catholics. She became interested in their faith, and finally was con- vinced that she too. should be a mem ber of the. Roman Catholic church. Her parents were much annoyed, and they sought by persuasion, argu ment and other means to prevent her purpose. Finally, in their trouble thev visited Mr. Beecher, and - be sought the intervention of his influ- ence Sena her to me," he said, ana the girl presented . herself to him. "Are you persuaded that you are doing right in joining the Catholic church?" he asked. Shewas sur3 that her convictions required her to take that step; she felt, she said, that she could be a better . Christian and get more comfort out pf religion in the Catholic church than in any other.' "Then," said Mr. Beecher, .take this letter to Father Pi3e, of the church of St. Charles Berromeo." Father Pise and Mr. Beecher were old friends. His letter ran thus: "Here is a lamb who thinks she sees better pasture on your side of the fence than she does- on mine. Take good care of her.v.Ymrs in Christ, Henry Ward Beecher." - ' .:" . Mi Lis . - r.. : .' WITTKOWSKY WITTKOWSKY WITTKOWSKY WITTKOWSKY WITTKOWSKY WITTKOWSKY.
