tfHE OMATTA DAILY BEE : MONDAY' JUNE 27 1881. A DKINK FROM A DIPPER. | TicBovorr RoThivtaTonritFonncl f In a West VlrRinln Trxvoni' I spent a few days in the moil of West Yirginm , where I did mosl of my traveling on foot. I was ou iho road bright and early ono day , having started without my breakfast with tlio expectation of a good meal at a town four or five miles nhcad. * Imust have nlisnod my way , for nftor ajtwo hours jaunt I had not reached imy destination. I came to ft cross roads , and n tavern. The whole scene I jras like what wo imagine the scene vrna where the true knight found the Sleeping Beauty in the wood. There was no brcero ; there was no sound of any sort. The tavern roof was thick with green mosij the tavern donr and windows were closed , stnmed , cracked and , like every other part of tlio Imildinff , 80 l ° ft "l U8 ° i nni so I ° n8 without paint that they seemed to have bceli built ol cork rather than of wood , Tlio well house had rotted nnd fallen into n mound of rotting t timber encircling the well ; the sheus had become a tatiglo of 'old disordered beams between' which a few young trees and n jungle of bushci had forced their why. The old signpost stood oructi but the sign itself was used to cover the collar tlodr. I must have had u u ihl craving for food and drink , or n Bupornatmal ill- Blind to lead md to pound on that forbidding door , butluid so. And moreover I kept on pounding and pounding against all reason and all hope. Presently a groaning , wheez ing noisu overhead warned me that a rusted hiii' o was turning. I saw that I some ohe * within , was straining i sttib- | born aliutter " , and * pfiscjtlly ! it' flew ' * open. . "What do you want ? " the man who had opened the window growled down , at mo. Lu' "Want something to bat , " said I. ! 'Wall'i , the man , an , old , white- haired , yellow-skinned fellow in a woolen shirt , replied , "yor can't got iiothin' here , an' you had better clar out. " "I'd bo much obliged for anything , " said I , "a bit of bread or " "Now , thar ain't no use yor stan'- ing tlmr an1 arguing1 the tavern- IfoopcK answered , ' ' "clar out aiid lot - 'iuoWA - . " ' I was in earnest , and infernally hungry. Ho was closing the shutter. I threw all the fooling I could master jnto my voice. "Hold on , " naid I. "I want to get in. I want to speak to you. I'll give f you a dollar if you'll como dbwn and Jut mo in.1 The shutter banged , anil I stood there ignorant of the ollbet of what T had said. I moved away to got a full view of the tavern. Soon there wan a lumbering noise indoors that told mo I had disturbed the old mountaineer , * if nothing more. In an instant tlio lower half'of ' thtf old-fashioned double * door swung inward , and the tavern- keeper's voice grullly bade mo to "Como in. " I didn't half like that. I bent double , and saw nothing but ab- Koluto darkness ahead. 1 ' 'Open the door , " said I , when I stood up inside the room. "Ijb , I won't said ho , as ho moved heavily away into the thickness of the darkness. While ho walked away from mo I hastily told him of my hunger and of my loss of way. Ho snapped out a few wonts to the effect that I couldn't got anything to oat , and I'd bettor "gii'long. ' " I got accustomed to the darkness. I saw the faint outlines - lines of a table a stool , and a conn- * * tor , the top of which was about oven * -\-ivith my chin. 3" ' , 'Got anything to drink1' ? ' tt askod. * yjlobbo'j said my host. "Sell mo a drink ? " "Dunno why I should , " said the inan ; 'I hain't ' sold no ono nothing' forihigh on to sb yeara , and ) then before - fore nhat for nigh onMo two years. 'Foro that I used to sell moro'n you uvor see. " jj-4 1 paid nothing J saw it did no good Tharf ?

" I asked , presently. ' 'Hain't that good enough for yor ? " "Yes ; but I'd spill half of it , if I tried tp drink out of it. " It weighed j ( * tw'onty-fivo 'pounds , and its mouth 7"rwaa a foot'higher ' than inin'o. ' ' ' "Tnko tlfo. dipper , " said , the tavern- 1 Ir'ooper. ' "Whoro is U ? " I asked. "R tiifdj1 J gups ? , ' " Koansworod ; "it used tB be , soinewliores' . " * I clambered and poked ab'c ut. and accidentally hit the dipper with my foot. It was coated with dust , I mud BO. tp . - ' 'By. 1 Baid ray host ; "thought you wanted a drink , What air you , " "anyhow ? * King of Foorow , and got to have a chaynoy teacup !

Finally I monpod it with a clean handkerchief. Then I poured throp fingora of the liquid from the demijohn into St. I tasted the stud' . Then I took a mouthful ; then I liniahod what was'in the dippor. Hero , if I was as modest if I should Lo , this story ought to end. I can't begin to describe that whisky. It had the aroma of flowers , tlio nutty taste of ruro sherry , the softness of a cordial , the smoothness of oil , the huu of Abyssinian gold. "Can I taste that again ? " I asked. "I reckon HO , " said my host. "Won't you drink , " I asked. "Mobbo , " said ho , lifting the demi john and drinking from its mouth. I had no warning of ita atroncth ; it didn't taste like whiskey. It foil into / iho tin dipper with the sound of music ; it melted on the palate like , utraincd honey ; it Budueed ono'a I physical system with the first feelings that inh fuil/her .provokes.

ThoquaiiHty of irbpicnl fruit con- .mined in this city it constrmtly in- creasing. Wo arc beginning to receive in market sonio of tlio choice varieties of oranges nnd bananas , tvhilo innti * goes , Bapodlllas , star applet , cliirhnoy * as or custard apples , sournopB , mam- moos , pomegranates , broad frtlil , and occasionally guavas and fresh cocoanuts - nuts arc included in the lists of the fruit ( stalls , Mangoes from Jamaica nro among the most delicious of these laro fruits. They nro pcar-nbaped , with a thick golden , rod-chocked rindtindnndranRo colored pulp. A largo pit like n peach- stone take up Imlf the fruit , and con tains a bitter kernel. The specimens of this fruit brqiight to market nro said uy % those who' 'liavo oaten it in South America and Jamaica to bo ox- collont. It is ripe , as tlioso that ripen after they ro picked arc dovolct of llafdrhnd worthless. I t'fa consequently - ly n purislmblo cargo , and fully 20 per cent , of 'thoso brought to this market spoil bofolo they reach the country. The Bwoot mango is the species usual ly soon hero. There is a slightly a6id kind sometimes Bold , which is very pleasant to the tasto. In selecting mangoes , cliooso these that are haul and firm ; the thick , loaUiory rind re tains its Bhapo long after the fniit is soft , and is considered spoiled. Fresh mangoosaro worth from60 cents to 91 a dozen. The Bwcet mangoes nut up at Bom bay are n famous Kast India chutney , and n popular accompaniment of cur ries in England. Though seldom used , in this country , they should not bo confounded with pickled muskmelons , which nro called mangoes by Now England housekeepers. The sapodilln is a brown fruit , the size and shape of n largo plum. It is aorycd for desert , and is cxtrumoly juicy. The variety brought hero from Jamaica is the nispero of South Aid- urica. It has auveral stones like date stones , nnd its taste is of a cloying Bwoetnuas. Ripe sanodillas arc of- iored inour markets in fair condition at 40 to 50 contu a dozen. Canned sapodillaa from Nassau are 30 conta a can. - An enthusiast , speaking of the fruits of the Antilles , calls the custard apple the "spiritualized strawberry.1 ' The rind when rino is a grayish-green , and the snow-whito pulp resembles in appearance a firm custard , and is thickly sot with black seeds. It ia described - scribed as a happy mixture of swoet- JIOSB and acid. The sweetsop is spok en of by travelers us a fruit having "the flavor of perfumed ureanij frosted with sugar. " The gtianabana or sour- , sop is slightly acid , and ia considered by creoles the mimt delicious of all fruit an opinion which few Ameri cans who linvo eaten it in Jamaica and elsewhere are ready to indorso. It is populafrly served in the West Indies soaked in wine. The only fruit in the ilnitod States of the same family as the cliirimoyiui , tuvoctsop nnd souisop , is the pawpaw of _ the Mississippi val ley. Custary npplos and aoursopa are sold in our markets , but they are the most didicult of all fruits to transport , and specimens which answer the do- scrintion of persons who have resided in the trophies are rarely soon. Cus tard apples can bo bought for from 10 to 20 cents apiece , and soursops from 20 to 40 cents. A. few lots of clilri- moyns have reached this country in fine order , but were brought in ro- frigorutara. The caimito or star apple is of the same family us the sapodilla. It is ft favorite fruit ' of Cuba , though its peculiar taste , or lack of taste , rarely pleases anyone who is not ac customed to it. Its pink nnd white flesh , however , it very cretty. Star apples nro 40 to 50 cents a thuon. i The liard red mammoo is the variety of * this fruit of toncst brought to our market. It is gray streaked with red , and when cut is a rich yol- lo\y , and gives forth u fragrant,1''nag - nolla-liko odor. It is used in Cijba as a pros'ervoj and ( hough sometimes eaten raw , ia too hard to bo easily di gestible. The soft mameo 'is aweot and wholosoino , a'nd is n favorite des sert fruit. Mammeo nro from 10 to 15 cents apibco. The guava , u tiny species of promo- granato , is unfortunately u most perishable - ishablo fruit. A few specimens have como in refrigerators , but they nro ollbrod in our markets. They nro Biuall , poar-fllmpod , canary-colorud and pink inside , and extremely fragrant and luscious , The Jolly , which is so woll-kjiown totconundrcoj Ja sold in tiny boxes at 25 cents , and in larger pockauoa at ? 1. Canned guavaa are 30 cents a can. The rod nnd yellow banana are not difloront pocies. All bananas nro naturally yellow and nro made rod by grafting. The effect of the graft runs out in soyon years , when , wo have sometimes bananas that are red , spotted or Btronked with yollow. There are over forty or fifty varieties of thin fruit. The little guinoos or fig banana is not unknown to our fruit stores , It is not over a linger low , and is one of the fmost species , It is delightful in odor and taste , and soils in our markets , despite its small size , at ? 1 u do on. The plaintain and banana are of the Bamo family. The Oriental Christians aenrching * for the Garden of Eden believed tliut the banana wus the forbidden fruit , and named it the "treo of paradise , " though the "forbidden fruit" sold in Paris fruit stalls and in our own mar kets is a species of orange , the grape shaddock It is of no special value , is acid , and is kept more for display than for any. thing olso. The legend says } t waa good till Eve tasted it , but it has boon bad ainco. The deep doproBsions near the stem of the fruit like the mark of tooth arc supposed to bo the origin of this claim. The mandarin oranges are a small Bpecio of fruit with a dark- colored perfumed rind hardly thicker than brown paper , The tangerine i n variety of mandarin. It is the thin- oat-skinned species of orange known , Mandorino and tangerine oranges which are in nuuket during iho winter months , mo Bold from 75cents to 81 a dozen. The seedless St. Michael or.inges are brought from the Azores , and though cointnoU in England are Buldoin scon in this country. They are a small , light-colorod fruit , with scarcely niiy aoods , and uro excellent in tlayor. In this city they bring from 0 cents to 76 cent * n dozen. Fresh cpcoajmti [ or thy ; immuluro cocottiiuU picked when thoy' are half ripe , are the favorilo food and bever- agrfof the tropics. They are occasion- ftfly brought to tliis market ) but a largo proportion spoil before they Arrive. The stem and green cup at the base dropping ofl' is the external indication that they have soured , The natives me a hugo knife called n machete , as largo as n butcher's ' cleaver , to OJKJII the nutj which they strike on the stem. A hole is thus made through the husk and shell , and the soft pulp of the nut is scooped out , and placed in a goblet. The milk , which at this stage ia as clear as spring water , is poured orvcr the pulp , and jt is thus served to guests with orange flowers in the gob lets. It is drank and eaten with a spoon. It is declared by most people who have uaten it to bo the most delicious ; licious form of this well-known palm fruit , which the Coyloncso believe will not grow out of the sound of the hu man voice. "Tho Indian v , ill bo indolent dolont , " says the Houth American pro verb , "sobng M the defado fish floats in the river1 or the qocoanut palm yields its fruit. " " Sportiiic Notcn. Aranza , Mr. P.
