THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
creased; but as German Immigrants are among 
the best accessions to our population, there Is lit¬

Stlckney, the latest Fall River defaulter, has 
been bankrupt seven years, yet ho went on spend¬ 
ing other folks' money freely. He gave a $ 2 ,coo 
reception while he was in Europe last year, and 
his house was fitted up In regal style. People 
had so much confidence In him that, his credit was 
almost unlimited, and the facility with which he 
could borrow money probably encouraged him In 
his extravagant expenditures. 
A rich sugar refiner of 8an Fanelsco, has 
bought twenty thousand acres or land in the 
Hawaiian Islands for the cultivation of sugar¬ 
cane. He will Irrigate the dry lands, drain the 
swamps, build railways, and spare no money to 
make the thing a success. The same man, when 
the reciprocity treaty making Island sugar free 
of duty appeared safe or confirmation, slipped 
over and corralled all the sugar for three years 
ahead. 
Though always kind and courteous In female 
society. Bismarck has never distinguished any of 
the numerous beauties he has met In his life, so 
as to authorize suspicion that he paid special 
attention to any one woman, still less that be 
courted any. He has had affectionate and re¬ 
spected female friends—among whom the Grand 
Duchess Helena of Russia must be reckoned—but 
the only women who, to all appearances, have 
found room In his heart and occupied it, are his 
mother, his sister, his wife and his daughter. 
The statement that W. H. Earle, of Worcester, 
had obtained more than $ 2 ,ooo from three acres of 
strawberries was confirmed by Mr. Hndwen. He 
planted three rows to a bed, with plants twelve 
Inches apart In the row. Three rows eighteen 
inches apart form a bed, with an alloy of two feet 
between. He cultivates deeply and manures 
highly. His fruit Is always clean, bright and at¬ 
tractive. He waters heavily. Late In autumn 
the plants are mulched well with fine leaves, hay, 
or straw, and a part Is left on late, keeping the 
berries unsolled. Everything la doue In the best 
manner. 
The talk. In Leadvllle, Col., Is about a vagabond 
of a miner, Basslck, who tramped Into town with¬ 
out a cent In his pocket and Jumped Into an In¬ 
come of $2,000 a day. He began to dig In Tyndall 
Hill, and three feet below the surface struck a 
rotten, chalky substance that formed the entire 
eminence. Everybody laughed at the beggar and 
derisively called his find *• Basslck's Whitewash 
Mine." But Basslck found the stuff rich In car¬ 
bonate of lead carrying sliver, and, digging down 
round boulders and pebbles that were coated with 
silver chloride. From the surface down 200 feet 
the mine has paid richer than any other in the 
county, yielding thus far $64,000 a month. 
The earliest notice of yellow fever Is chat or 
Llgon, In his " History of Barbadoes." He there 
states that It broke out early In September, 1647, 
and that before tbe expiration of a month "the 
living were scarcely able to bury the dead. ’ 
Thereafter It did not attain any very remarkable 
hlght until 1793, when It destroyed not less than 
0,000 men of the garrison of Port Royal In the 
course of a few months. In 1804 It. was brought 
tothe south of Spain and visited Cadiz, Malaga, 
and Carthagena. But Its greatest force fell upon 
Glbralter, where out of the civil population of 
the town amounting to nearly 14,000 persons, 
only twenty-eight escaped attack.

The Eclipse Wind-Mill Co’., informs us that 
a cablegram from Paris is the source of their in¬ 
formation that the Eclipse mill liaB taken the

THE MARKETS. 
PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS 
New York. Saturday, Oct. 19, 1878. 
Beans anti Peas.-T he feeling in beans is weak¬ 
ening; prices are exlreo/e for new and they now 
supply the trade. Old mediums m ui no commer¬ 
cial importance. Marrows of ',7 remain but quoted 
materially below ’78s. Red kldnet# are firm without 
muoli demand. Black beans dull with a wide rauge.

BUTTER. — The easy tone which prevails In the 
butter market is quite discouraging, espe billy as 
oue-halr ot the second fail mouth is gone. Dealers 
look tor fall sales to compensate in a measure pre¬ 
vious stuck times. Creameries are ofi in price. State 
halt tubs mid choice full Welsh are the Miongeal 
grades in market, but are quoted as high as they 
will bear. Full dairies are quiet as a rule; a tew 
peifect ones have brought 21c.; out 20o, is full Iota 
miuked choice.*.Foreign lltiauclul troubles do nut 
encourage shipper!), and a long lull in sales tor ex¬ 
port ts to be feared. Exporters who Mill have orders 
are paying Ice fur State firkins ut good quality. A 
•shipment to Europe of over 2,000 pkgs, Oleomar¬ 
garine Is reported. The practice of putting suit in 
each Inside, and of pkgs.. is condemned hy the trade. 
It should be left off the hottoiu, ami merely a brine- 
wet cloth put ou top- Western daliy and other 
grades are weak In sympathy with Suite. Factory 
has a very slow sale Even quality should be more 
carefully considered t>y packers amt shippers of 
Western.

The Chicago Drovers’ Journal of Oct. 18, says; 
•• Tho Chicago packers ure trying to introduce a new 
feature in transportation of hog products-one which 
will curtail greatly their expenses and entitle them 
to additional credit for being tho most enterprising 
uf business men. They now nave lu process of con¬ 
struction iron tanks which are rest upon rftUroad- 
ears and to Contain 20,(180 pounds or more of lard. 
These curs are to be taken into the lard-rooms of 
the packing-houses and there tilled with the hot 
lard When closed they will be ready for transpor¬ 
tation to any Part of tile country where railroads 
are. There will be uo breaking of bulk, and tho en¬ 
tire cost of Loopentgu.sumo $1.26 per tlurce, together 
with the freight on the same and the cost of hand¬ 
ling, will be saved. It is easy to see that this Isa 
most important movement.
