Peanuts yield a large percentage of oil which is as good for all purposes as olive oil. It is more palatable than olive oil, and is used extensively for culinary purposes, finding a roady market. A now machine for making: oil-barrels is in successful operation in Pittsburg. The machine will turn out between 700 and 800 barrels per day, doing the work so far that the coopers have only to place the heads, shavo them off, and drive on tho top hoops.

Girardin, tlio French editor, is lodged like a king. He owns ami lives in ono of the mansions near the Arc. His drawing-room is built on the colossal scale of Versailles. It would hold a public meeting. It is very richly furnished, but, being too vast to be tricked out in the ordinary way, its knickknacks are busts, bronzes and 'huge paintings by Delacroix. Punning parallel to it is a long gallery containing more pictures and bronzes, and bookshelves, Hanked, drolly enough, by busts of the post and present Mesdamcs do Girardin.

Last spring they made their first appoarancc. bevoral old family eats, all of them quite aged, gave birth to litters of kittens of a very peculiar appearance. They were long-haired, with large logs and long claws and very heavy tans. One specimen in each litter was raised, so as to see this freak of i n.'ttiira in matiintr. At six nature in maturity. At six months of . 8fie they werevory large. Soraeof them fc f .f . fl t r: - i . . - . -- I l.liinl. Tha f black. The fur is from three to six inches in length all over the body ; a tuft of long hair rims the cars. The head is like that of any cat, except the eyes of all of them have a wild or frightened look.
