HOW THE BERRY IS CULTIVATED IN NICARAGUA — COST OF LANDS, PLANTING AND CULTIVATION. A number of gentlemen, resident here and in the East, among them W. T. Brown of the lumber yard, have in contemplation the dispatching of an agent to Nicaragua to investigate the prospects of coffee culture, with a view to purchasing land at some point in that country and embarking in the business. Inquiries have lately come to Mr. Brown from various sources regarding this interesting venture and its government, $2,000. Fifty cents a coffee, product of fourth year, and seventals, product of fifth year, which we have cost $1,200 to pick, clean and delivery in Leon, where it is today worth, owing the high exchange, $30 per cental, making the account stand at the end of five years thus: Cost of plantation, $3,220; of co-marketed, $1,200; total, $4,220. Premium from government, $2,000; value of co-marketed, $4,500; total, $6,500. Leave a balance of more than $2,000 in favour of the enterprising planter for his time trouble and privations. Gold is worth about 70 per cent premium. The circulating medium is principally of Chilean Peruvian sales. Wages are from 30 to 60 cents per day, and labor so far abounded and the old Spanish peon laws being in force here, makes the planter, to a certain tent, master of the situation. I expect that later we will have to import labor to which there is no doubt the government will consult, jealously exacting their exportation as soon as they may have complied with their contracts. Of course, a man coming from the Station here to plant coffee will have to feed a clothome himself, and will have many other expenses that cannot be included in calculating the cost of a coffee plantation, he can add nearly 100 per cent to the cost as I have given it, and still at the end of five years have his place free, and no opinion is that an American who cannot this bad better not try, undoubtedly best better fitted to till the bill as a street-corner loafer. This jurisdiction is quite extensive with a population of about 2,500 souls. About 1,000 are whites and foreigners. Soils 5,000 are Cadinos (mixed white and Indian) and the rest are pure Indians, with perhaps a dozen Zambees and darkies from the Mquite coast. The Indians are peaceful, not over-inclined to work, rather given a drunkenness, but far advanced in civilization, and much given to the pump and shear of religious ceremonies. The soil here is rich vegetable mold, with an occasion stony-point hill obtruding, which accounts for the mud, and in the timber land an fading green smiles the year round.

A number of gentlemen, resident here and in the East, among them W. T. Brown of the lumber yard, have in contemplation the dispatching of an agent to Nicaragua to investigate the prospects of coffee culture, with a view to purchasing land at some point in that country and embarking in the business. Inquiries have late! come to Mr. Brown from various sources regarding this interesting venture, and in order to supply them, as far as possible, with the necessary information upon the subject, we publish the following letter, which recently appeared in the San Francisco Bulletin, written from the jurisdiction of Matagalpa, Nicaragua: There has been so much interest awakened latterly in the cultivation of coffee that your host of readers may like to know something about this portion of the coffee-producing world, and especially as there are a number of the citizens of the Golden State, including myself, residing here, and forming permanent homes. The city of Matagalpa lies in the mountains northeast of León, which latter place is connected by a railroad thirty miles long with the port of Corento, and is distant from 100 miles, with a good summer-cart road connecting them. It is the center of the new coffee district of Nicaragua, which is just being opened up to the use for which Providence intended it. It lives 2200 feet above the sea it a granite formation. The water is pure and cool, and the climate unusually healthy for a tropical country. During twenty-seven years residence here I have never known the mercury to mark less than 62 degrees nor more than 86 degrees Fahrenheit, which is a very equable climate. It rains much more here than it does in Southern or Central California, but the heat is much less oppressive. There are nearly fifty foreigners here, nearly all interested in coffee planting, and better yet, the majority of them are Americans. All appear to be satisfied and prosperous. We have an American club here in a first-class condition, where newcomers can find information and get a helping hand in securing a location and starting in as coffee planters. The need of such an organization was much felt, for "in union there is strength," and as an association we can give a stronger impulse to any measure that we may wish to bring before the government in our favor as agriculturists, which otherwise they might not concede. The membership will be largely increased soon, as there are very many Americans expecting to come here in the near future to cast their lot with us. With a railroad to this city from Len (already begun) and a break-up of the Pacific Mail and Southern Pacific Railroad monopolies, which actually make the cost of a journey from here to your city or New York about one-half of that for a trip around the world, this part of Central America would become popular as a winter resort for the blizzardized birds of passage from the Northern and Northwestern States. We naturally, all of us, are in favor of the Nicaragua Maritime Canal and the San Francisco Traffic Association. THE COFFEE BELT. There is a prairie belt running through the country, from east to west, from two to better fitted to fill the bill as a street-corner loafer. This jurisdiction is quite extensive, with a population of about 2,500 souls. About 1,000 are whites and foreigners. Soil 5,000 are Cadinos (mixed white and Indian), and the rest are pure Indians, with perhaps a dozen Zambes and darkies from the Malique coast. The Indians are peaceful, not over-inclined to work, rather given a drunkenness, but far advanced in civilization, and much given to the pump and shade of religious ceremonies. The soil here is rich vegetable mold, with an occasion stony-pointed hill obstruction, which accounts for the mud, and in the timber land an unfading green smiles the year round. Earth quakes are unknown in Matagalpa. Our solid Laurentian foundation seems to be firm as the much-meantitioned "Rock Agas." In the lower country, with picturesque line of volcanic peaks reaching from the Gulf of Fonseca to Costa Rica, passing near Chinendega, Loos Managua, Granada, Masaya and Rivas, a quite populous cities, they got an occasion shaking up, about as severe, but not quite as often, as they do in your beautiful city notwithstanding that two or three of the peaks are inveterate smokers. SOCIETY AND POLITICS. The people of Nicaragua are without doubt putte the most pacific of all the Spanish American peoples, and foreigners, especially Americans, are well thought of and received. Walker's conquest did not pose dispose the great majority of the inhabitants against outsiders. His opponents were among the wealthy class who had always governed the country, and did not like being relegated to obscurity. The law revolution that occurred here was in 1860 and did not last quite four months. I cannot say, the same for our neighbors, particularly Honduras. They have just been at it again, and after months of bloodshed and destruction what have they got? The same President, only a change of Minister, and in the course of time we will be able know whether the change has not been for worse. Here politically we are at right, and I don't believe anybody will fail enough to try and upset the present order of things by force. At present the government has found itself straitened for funds. The treasury is suffering from a very severe attack of "echlorosis metallica," but all's well that ends well, as I learn from the last wedding card I received, as if I keep on it may not be applicable to the letter, so I make my bow and retire. ELISOF R MACY. An Enemy Baffled. There is an enemy with whom thousands are familiar all their lives, because they are born with tendency to illfulness. With this enemy they are constantly battling with ineffectual weapons. Hot tetter's Stomach Bitters will baffle it. Me purgatives will not reform a disordered condition on the liver, indicated, not by constipation alone; but also by sick-headaches, yellowish of skin and eye balls, nausea; furred tongue and ureases more particularly upon pressure on the right side open and below the short ribs. Avoid drastic purpureives which gripe and weaken the intestines; an abatement will wilt; antifalloria which likewise removes material; stomach ache as a laxative of the bowels; painless but effectual it improves appetite; sleep and the ability to digest and possesses the additional advantage of standard tonic.

We naturally, all of us, are in favor of the Nicaragua Maritime Canal and the San Francisco Traffic Ascociation. THE COFFEE BELT. There is a prairie belt running through the country, from east to west, from two to six leagues wide and reaching from the low, hot coast lands of Mosquitia to the Pacific side. The city of Matagalpa lies in this prairie belt, but near the brushy and timbered coffee lands, the nearest plantations being about two miles distant. In fact, the land right in the city is splendid coffee land, and almost every resident has some few trees planted in his garden. Within the last three years there have been planted in plantations more than 5,000,000 trees and twice as many in nursery in this city's jurisdiction, and half as many in Jinotega, a neighboring town, twenty miles north of here, and the work goes bravely on. The coffee lands are almost unlimited in extent, the first comers having the advantage only of locating nearer the city and nearer the prairie, the advantage being from the mud during the rainy season. The government charges $1.50 per manzana (nearly two acres). The survey, made at cost of purchaser, will about double the price. Trees for planting are worth about $4 per 1,000; clearing the land and planting, $12 more; cleaning off plantation, about $2 per 1,000 yearly, and a workman to live on the place, $200 per year for four years. The government pays to each planter of upward of 5,000 trees a premium of 5 cents per tree, one-half payable at two years from planting and the other half one year later. For a plantation of 40,000 trees the account would be something like this: Sixty manzanas of government land at $1.50. Survey of same... $200.00 Clearing of forty-five manzanas of land for 40,000 trees... $90.00 Cost of 40,000 trees in nursery... $65.00 Cleaning out of plantation for five years at $80.00 Clearing and planting in grass twelve manzanas... $150.00 Two miles for riding, $100 each, and two open for cargo, $64.00 Shanties and buildings required for use... $200.00 Workman living on the place four years at $200 per year... $690.00 Twenty per cent added for contingencies on $1,859.00 Total... $3,620.00 THE PRODUCT. The product would be: Premium paid by Saved From Death by Onions. There has no doubt been more lives of children saved from death in croup or whooping cough by the use of onions that any other known remedy; our mothers use to make poultices of them, or a syrup, which was always effectual in breaking up a cough or gold. Dr. Guinn's Onion Syrup is made by combining a few simple remedies with it which make it more effective as a medicine and destroys the taste and odor of the onion Fifty cents.

About whites and foreigners. Some albinos (mixed white and Indian) are pure Indians, with perhaps oceans and darkies from the Mosquito Indians are peaceful, not to work, rather given to but far advanced in civilization given to the pomp and show ceremonies. The soil here is a fine mold, with an occasional hill obtruding, which accounts and in the timber land an unmilious the year round. that has grown up in the name of gratitude to the nation's defenders. The present army of pension drawers, rightful and fraudulent, exceeds by hundreds of thousands the whole fighting strength of the Union armies actually engaged in military operations at any time during the four years while the fighting was on. No wonder the New York Sun's assertion of this stupendous fact has set the country a-thinking. No wonder, either, that the supporters and apologists of the outrageously extended system should deny it; or that it is demonstrated and they can no longer deny it, they should try to break its force and obscure its significance. New they are saying that the comparison between the fighting army and the pension army signifies nothing after all; for although there may not have been more than 700,000 men present for duty at any time during the fighting, the total of enlistments from first to last was more than 2,700,000. They try to create in the minds of the public the impression that the total number of men who at one time or another during the war were actual soldiers and possible pensioners was about 2,800,000. "The pension list is large," said the Press recently, "because in the course of that tremendous contest the loyal States put, first and last, something like 2,800,000 men into the field." This of course is sheer misrepresentation, deliberately intended to deceive. Everybody at all familiar with the statistics of the civil war knows that the record of enlistments is one thing and the number of individuals enlisted quite a different thing. A man enlisted for sixty days, re-enlisted for three months, re-enlisted for three years, and in the record of enlistments he figures as four men and therefore as four possible pensioners. The aggregate of enlistments during the war was 2,780,478. But the aggregate of individuals who enlisted for service, whether they actually saw service or not, is very much smaller. Owing to in which the records were kept it can only be estimated. The most careful and generally accepted estimate is that which Mr. Blaine presents in an appendix to his "Twenty-year case of disease as recorded upon the finger-nails. When we look at the patient's nails we see on each of them a distinct ridge, showing that the portion of the nail which has grown since the acute attack is much thinned out. Take, for instance a man who has had an attack of pneumonia. There can be seen on his finger-nails the ridge showing the acuteness of the illness. If a person has broken his arm within eighteen monts' the ridges of the nails on the nails of the hand of the affected arm may be seen, while they will be absent on those of the other hand. The more acute the illness the sharper will be the ridge. Extreme anxiety and mental depression have the same effect on the nails as physical disease. The fingernail is a very enduring evidence of disease. If there has been acute pneumatism in the system, with a temperature of 104 or 105 degrees, the nail will cut down sharply. In typhoid fever, where the disease comes on gradually, there is no such sharp cutting of the nail. There are several well-known sayings with regard to the paring of the finger-nails, and amongst them are the following: "Cut them on Monday, cut them for health; cut them on Tuesday, cut them for wealth; cut them on Wednesday, cut for a letter; cut them on Thursday, for something better; cut them on Friday, you eat for a wife; cut them on Saturday, cut for a long life; cut them on Sunday, you cut them for evil; for all of that week you'll be ruled by the devil." The image contains a historical newspaper page with text in English. The content discusses the expansion of the French Empire and its impact on the nation's development. It mentions various historical events and figures, including Napoleon Bonaparte, Louis XIV, and Emperor Napoleon II. The text also includes references to French policies and military strategies during the Napoleonic Wars. Here is the transcription of the text: "THE HONOR OF FRANCE. (Translated from the French by C. H. Gosch.) The well-known editor of the Paris Figaro, St. Genest, publishes the following in his paper about the Panama canal: "For the sake of the honor of France, make haste to finish. What remains standing, what is loft of the empire, of the monarchy of the Republic? The men that have 'kept unsullied' may be counted today. How will you cross tomorrow, the frontier, defend your national honor; how refute the terrible charges daily hurled against you? You will recollect those big maps, those maudit maps, that during the war of 1870 explained the German foundation, and those black spots and streaks that gradually covered our poor provinces—designating the enemy's armies. Similar maps could now be made with the difference that now its black spots would mean the corruption that is expanding over every part of French society." "The new maps it would have to be explained how a part of France was soiled after the last empire, and how then with President Grevy and Wilson and General Boulanger, the black spots enlarged until finally the Panama filth wiped out the last remaining white spots. And mark the fact, it is our own people that caused this terrible inundation, and they may glory in being much more successful than the Germans, because we ourselves have succeeded in submerging the whole of France in a sea of filth. This time we lose not merely two provinces, but our entire heritage of probity and honor. Every one is now ready to sling dirt at another, and no one sees that the filth thrown in his own face still sticks there. It is a strange sight; every Franconian, soiled with dirt, busy harling impressions and insults at others—and howling for joy if they see their adversary dirtier than themselves. But when from the other side of the Rhine any offensive remark is heard they all turn around and cry: 'What do you want, you miserables—France is an honest country.' And then they start against themselves again, voiciferating at each other: 'Get away, you liar, calumniator, sold deputy (Congressman), vile judge,' etc. And now the most remarkable part of all this, is that is not true, and I maintain to the end of my life that our country is one of the most honest in the world. It is only our politicians that dishonor us, because this fifth seems necessary for the success of their paper or their election, in which they see their life's vocation, regardless whether their country is dishonored. Stop to calumniate or I will stop to write, for now it is more important to know how to wield the 'sewer broom' than the pen." The most surprising part of this cry of indignation of the good man: "St. Genest," is that the great Parisian Boulevard paper, Figaro, for which he works, is also implicated with the highest sums in the checkbook of the poisoned Baron de Reinach. SEVENTH ANNUAL PAYMENT OF TAXES. The biennial report of State Controller E. B. Colgan has just been issued, and from it we take the following remarks on the semiannual payment of taxes, a bill for the repalce of which will probably be introduced into the present session of the Legislature." From Death by Onions. No doubt been more lives of old from death in croup or bigh by the use of onions than own remedy; our mothers used pieces of them, or a syrup, which actual in breaking up a cough Gunn's Onion Syrup is made a few simple remedies with it more effective as a medicine the taste and odor of the onion.

It has been computed that the average growth of the finger-nail is one thirty second of an inch per weak, or a little more than an inch and a half year.
