The inlinbitiuit of the north, who live? within easy reach of steamers n::tl rail ways, can buy his luuianas ami other tropical fmit while the thermometer is feoniewhero down in t lie; thirties, and hi may have a faint longing to ho some whom down south, when' "tho citron blooms," and whore ho may imagine that tho sky must Iks forever blue. But, far from it; hero, as elsewhere, thoro ia always some detrimental elem-nt up setting ono's agricultural expectation's and tho bananas, in bpito or perhaps be cause of tho luxuriant and speedy growth of tho plant, is tho first to mi (Tor from tho heavy storms that sweep down over tho mountains or along tho coast. Wliolo . banana Holds are thrown to the ground by ono severe gale; tho plant has not what might bo termed a trunk; from tho comparative slender root shoot up tho leaves and stem, which, top heavy and fruit laden, is bending tho tree- by its own weight, and if felled to tho ground by u sf.irni it rises no more. This is, however, not the only misfor tune to which the planter must submit. -Even if he is lucky enough to escape tho devastating storms and havo his bananas nttaui the nocr-nsary stale of maturity, lie is then at the mercy of an occasional Bleamer to come and buy his product. Tropical fruits are not like apples and pears, which may bo preserved for months; here almost every kind of fruit must bo cut beforo it is fully ripe; ba nanaa are cut when they aro "three quarters full," and during tho summer even less, to insure their safo arrival after a voyage of ten or twelve days. Strango as it may seem, -bananas left to ripen on tho stem aro tasteless; they must nlways bo cut lioforo they aro fully rijie, only what is exported is often too young and too green to develop tho de licious llavor which they havo hero. "When a steamer arrives in these tropic jiorts where bananas aro cultivated, tho ngent or captain gives out tickets or or ders to tho various fruit growers to cut bo many hunches, each cluster to bo of tho prescribed hoight "soven hands uj" which means so many layers of ban nnas overlying each other. There aro tall and littlo men, so thoro aro hunches of bananas, but a littlo man may bo a man for all that, not so tho bunches of bananas, tho small ones aro counted two, or even three for one. Atn stated hour of tho day, or more frequently of tho night, tho steamer is anchored out in tho bay, and at tho peril of his life each iilanter carries out his fruit in his small mat or dory, to meet with bitter disap lointnient, for very often only one-half, perhaps less, of his fruit will lw accepted and paid for, although it was all con tracted for, but it is so easy to (hid somo fault, and as there is no way of preserv ing the bananas, and 110 other steamer duo for a week or a fortnight, there is no choice and no time for tho planter; either lio takes what he can get or ho throws Ins bananas overboard, and tho tide of tho early morning washes tho refused bunches ashore like so many bodies after I n slaughter. Ono often reads in books of travel that the banana is tho staple article of food of tho inhabitants of tho tropics, but this is 11 mistake: on tho contrary, thev war- tho foreigners from indulging ttx much 111 mis species 01 u nit, winch they never cat themselves, except cooked liko pota toes, while the banana is yet green.

LeUnd Stanford Jnnlor UnlTerslty, "With a Sketch of the Life and Labors of Its Founder. The time-honored metaphor "A Princely Gift," is in fair way to be sup planted by the three words heading this article. It is eminently right, too, that the change should be made; for no gift of Princes throughout history can com pare with the gifts of Americans. There is a marked diflerence, too, in the ob jects of their munificence. Princes give to fawning sycophants. Americans give to their own and to all succeeding gener ations of their countrymen. In this, our men of great wealth have set an example alike honorable to themselves and their country. Europeans fail to comprehend this trait in American character, because of their inability to understand the sen timent which underlies it.

No more conspicuous cxnmplo of the large-heartedness of ourcotintryinen an bo instanced than in tho founding of belaud Stanford Junior University by Senator Leland Stanford. This noble and enobling act of Senator Stanford was inspired by sentiments of love for his countrymen and for his idolized son lost to him by death. Tor his country men he builds and richly endows a University of tho lirst rank, which shall have no rival in either hemisphere. For his idolized son ho builds a monu ment such as no father ever beforo erected. LOCATION AND IlKQUKSTH. Tho University is located in Santa Clara county, Cal., at Palo Alto, a half hour's ride from San Francisco. As a part of tho bequest, a deed of trust con veys s;i,zuu acres oi land, comprising some of tho most valuable estates in Cal ifornia, the ittcomo from which will go to tho University for all time. The founder has also set aside twenty mil lions of dollars as an endowment for the University, the main endowment being by will, in which the trustees are made residuary legatees.

Jt, would bo impossible in a newspaper rtielo, of the space accorded to this one. to give a comprehensive description of the building plana as shown to the writer bv tho resident architect of the Uni- orsitv. Some conception, however, of their magnitude may be had from the number of buildings contemplated and the ground they will cover. The plans embrace sixty-tive buildings, which are to cover ono bundled and sixty acres. Sixteen of tho buildings are already un der roof. Two hundred and fifty men are constantly employed, and although tho University will be far from being completed, it will be dedicated early in tho coining year. It is expected the President of the United States, together with other distinguished people of our own country and Europe, will be in at tendance. In the careful preparation for making his bwntiful bequest Sen ator Stanford has displayed, in a marked in finance caused him to bo made the candidate of his party for Treasurer of the State, and though he was defeated, his canvass disclosed such qualities of leadership and such evidence of sound .ind elevated personal character, that he was nominated for Governor i,: 186'J by the Republican party, then in its weak ness and infancy. The divided Dc'tnoc--acy in the Sate that year cast an agme .'ti te vote of !).1,54.'!, while he received but 10,110, or 0 per cent, only of the total vote of the Stale.
