CHEESE. A laslaht Into a Orrnl tndatrr-l'eio brated Baropraa Product. . A crust of bread and cheese lias long beeu a, proverbial phrase imlicntive of penurious hospitality ; but continental agriculturists bid fair to reverse its ap plication, judging from the elegant and - tempting varieties of cheese now reach ing the London market in increasing consignments. From the chalet high up on Alpine meads, from communes of sunny France, from Scandinavian fiord and forest, low-lying Holland, and even instant Italy, this easily portable pro duct of the dairv finds its wav to the English metropolis. Some few of these have long been known to the epicure, but have only recently become articles 01 comparatively common consumption. Such is the Gruyere. which by right of size comes naturally foremost a groat oheese weighing one hundred pounds, rich and luscious, from Switzerland. It sometimes measures a yard in circum ferenoe. But upon this twelve mouths' attention have been lavished, to bring it . to the exact consistency of a species of firmer butter, disappearing, as it were, upon the tongue. Xho process is corned on in summer almost beside the glacier - and avalanche, and one part of the sys- t-em is Bnm to bo a repeated gentle sim mering of the ourd. it sells in ixmiloii at about a shilling a pound. Unite a contrast is presented by the Mont d'Or oheese from France a yellow disk, say five inches across, like a cake of solid honey. The taste is delicious, aud it has a tempting appearance upon the table. These cheeses are usually ob tained by the dozen, costing ten pence each ; which is also the value of the Oamembert, still less in diameter, but thicker. A oheese commanding a wider sole is the Roquefor (French), the price of which (2s a pound) indicates a super ior quality. It is a cream cheese, coated with tinfoil, and weighing about four pounds. It is made from the milk of sheep, and wheu out open is flecked with the peculiar decay so dear to the artist in eating. This mouldiness is the chief object of the maker, who assists its development by the use of a little barley bread. The cheese is matured in a se ries of natural caverns, the draught through which effects the ripening. Ro quefort and Oorgonzola (Italian) much resemble Stilton ; the latter is also made from cream only, is very rich, and about the same price. The flavor of some of the continental cheeses is varied by the addition of car raways or cummin ; others are prepared with herbs, as the Schabzieger.'from Switzerland. France also sends the Fromage de Brie and Boudon (cream), Pont l'Evecque, etc., not all, perhaps, quite attractive to the English nostril ; and Switzerland the Neufchatel cream, like molten Stilton, and eaten as butter ou a slice of bread. Parmesan andStroo chino, from Italy, are well known ; the latter is a soft cheese, and only keeps a short time. Emmenthal cheese comes from several countries Austria, Switz erland, etc. The Limburg is a German cheese ; Edam and Gouda.one round and the other flat, are of Dutch make ; and all these are either kept in stock now, or quickly obtained to order by London merchants. In addition, the Caccioea vallo, from Tuscany, a oheese half of goat's and half cow s milk, from n town in Piedmont ; a Turin cheese of goat's milk ; a white variety from Sicily ; Ro matour from Bavaria, Oolomnier, Ge rome, etc., have at least been seeir in London. In Russia they are copying the English Cheddar aud Stilton, per haps with a view to the foreign market said to be open for larger consignments of that character than have reached it from England. But this by the way. In home produce Devonshire cream has long been a luxury ; York cream, New Forest cream, Victoria cream, and the little Aylesbury said to be delicious are hardly perhaps so well known as they deserve. There seems, indeed, a sin gularly wide scope for invention and in dustry in the treatment of mUk ; and the subject is not without an interest to those who are pondering upou the problem of female employment. When the gov erness of an English farmer's family is paid 15 per annum, the lady who super intends the dairy the professional cheese maker receives 25, 30, aud even more, liviug as one of the family and enjoying complete liberty as soon as her work is done. The governess has " never finished ;" when the children are in bed, she may be persuasively re quested to assist in sewing ; but the " cheese maker " after tea simply puts ou her bonnet and walks forth to tnke the air. The life ia decidedly more in dependent than that of a "iady-help," and the science of the dairy seems nearly as worthy of schools aud teachers us that of cooking. English cheese is invariably made from the milk of the cow ; but many foreign kiuds, as mentioned above, are manufactured from that of sheep and goats. Those made of goats' milk are usually small and oddly made some like tablets rather than cheese. It is scarcely probable that sheep's milk will ever be used here for this purpose; but goats have received an increase of attention of recent years, not so much for direct profit as with the view of sup plying a rich, fresh milk for children. Persons who have not the space for a cow can sti 1 keep a few goats and possi bly may make a little oheese as a fancy. Goats' milk butter has beeu exhibited. Butter, by the way, comes more and more from abroad Germany, Holland, Denmark, Sweden aud especially France, contributing largely. Brittany butter is a favorite ; another brand comes from Normandy, and during the winter Italian butter may be had. This article has been sent to London, on the other hand, almost from the arctic regions i. e., from Finland. Many continental butter merchants' names are aa well known here as in their own countries ; in fact, foreign enterprise, assisted by the re spective governments, is doing its best to take possession of the English market. In Germany, Russia, eta, butter aud cheese making is taught in institutions directly subsidized from the government, and capital is largely drawn to this profitable investment Factories and companies whose main object is the English con sumer are common on the continent as the Scandinavian Butter Preserving Company (Danish), the well-known Caves Reunies of Roquefort (France), a society for the manufacture of cheese, etc ; indeed, there are companies in all the countries previously named. Some -English butter is believed to be colored with a dye manufactured and used abroad ; it is quite harmless, yet the fact seems strange. Saxony and Bavaria are making great efforts to insure the eoonomio and scientific production of butter and cheese, and there are dairy laboratories in Italy for chemical experi ments. The Germans have actually a mechanical appliance for getting the cream out of the milk by steam power. The ordinary system is to simply set the milk, aud let the slow process of nature raise the cream, which takes many hours. "This singular invention apparently cou fiista of a kind of hollow wheel, into which the milk is poured, and which revolves several hundred times a minute, Causing a vortex motion in the liquid. aud separating the particles of cream by centrifugal force in a very short period. rail Mall (Jasettc. A Father's Long Search Rewarded. One of the strangest circumstances of life, more like fiction than the truth. came to our notice this morning, says a recent issue of au uttumwa (Intl.) ex change. It seems that several years ago a family of German people, consist' lived in New York, where the wife aud mother sickeued and died, leaving the man with but little money and the two children to care for. The father had two sisters in that city, who, like him self, were strangers in a strange land, and to each he gave a child, The children separated from their father and mother and from each other, fretted themselves sick, and it was thought best to place them in one of the various or phan asylums of that great city, where they could be together. Here they seemed to thrive, and the father by his labor was able to support them in a style that guaranteed them a home and com fort for the time being. This was nine or teu years ago, and the children at this time were about seven aud nine years of age. The father wandered out West iu hopes of bettering his condition, and final ly found himself in St. Louis, where, soon after his arrival, he was prostrated with the typhoid fever, from which he only recovered to take the small-pox. He was a long time in recovering, and found himself without money for his own support, and in the long time in tervening no money had been sent for the support of the children, and the managers sent them with hundreds of others, to this State and elsewhere in the West, finding homes for them, wherever they conl J, in the best families. After his recovery, and when money matters were better with him, he wrote in regard to his children, but could get no word from them. As soon as possible he mode his way back to New York, but was refused information as to where his children could be found. After searching the city in vain he started out West again, and finally found himself in Louisiana, where he undertook farming, but was drowned out his partner losing his life. He sold his farm for $5,000 and, with the pro ceeds, returned to New York. This time he tried the potency of gold, and by the offer of $500 to the manager, he learned that the children had been sent out West, to Ottawa, Iowa, where they had found homes with a man by the name of J. W. Carpenter. This place he visited, but without avail, and des pairing of ever seeing his children again, he went to St. Louis. In that city he was relating his' life history to some of his German friends, when some of them suggested the idea that as the names were somewhat simi lar, Ottnmwa, la., was meant. He im mediately wrote to J. W. Carpenter, Ottawa, la., and also to the same gen tleman, Ottnmwa, la. In due time the mail brought him the good news that his children were here and in good health. As may be expected he was not long on the way, and a day or two ago arrived in this city, where he found his children, nearly grown occupying a good home with Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter, to whom they have become greatly en deared. Such is the story he tells him self. The children will remain with their foster parents, while Mr. Miller will probably make his home in this part of the country. Chinese Farmers. We doubt if a happier race exists than the Chinese farmers and peasantry. The farms are small, and so the owners are not wealthy, but they are very respecta ble. .Each farm-house is a little colony. consisting of some three generations namely, the grandfather, his children, and his children's children. There they live in peace and harmony together ; all who are able to, work on the farm, and if more labor is required, the stranger is hired to assist them. They live well, dress plainly, and are industrious, with out being iu any way oppressed. The female members of a farmer's household have much more liberty than those of a higher rank. They have small feet as usual, but they are not so confined to the house, or prevented from looking ou and speaking to strangers, as are the higher olnsses. If a stranger enters the court of the house unexpectedly, he will see a number of ladies, both old aud young. sittiug in the verandah, all industriously employed on some work spinning. some sewing or embroidering, and one probably engaged iu culinary operations; and if the stranger be an unknown for eigner, the whole will rise hurriedly, and disappear like a covey of partidges, overturning wheels, stools, aud anything else that may be iu their way. This," says a writer ou Chinese customs, "was a frequent sceue iu my earlier visits, but it gradually wore off when it was found I was a civilized being like them selves. These same ladies afterward would often ask me to sit down, and even set a chair for me, and bring me a cup of tea wtth their own fair hands ; aud while I drank my tea, they would go on with their work, laughing and chatting as freely as if I had been a thousand miles away." The Battle Field of Plevnn. The correspondent of the Loudon Daily News, writing from Plevna on the day of the surrender, says : All around me the grouud was covered with grim relics of battle. Here and there the earth was uptorn by the explosion or shells. Near me lay a horse groaning and struggling in death. Close by an ox, silently bleeding to death; his great, round, patient eyes looking mournfully at us. Just before me was a cart with a dead horse lying in yoke as he had fallen, and a Turkish soldier lying alongside whose head had been carried away. An other man was lyiug under the wagon, and around were four wounded men, ly ing gazing up at the murky sky, or cov ered up with the hood of their ragged gray overooat drawn over their faces. Not one of them uttered a sound. They lay there and bore their suffering with a calm, stolid fortitude which brought tears to my eyes. Just behind the wagon the ground was ripped to pieces by shell-fire, telling how these unfortu nates had met their fate. The road and its edges were dotted here and there with dead and wounded Turkish sol diers, oxen, horses, and shattered carts, and a few hundred yards north of the road, the ground over which Osman Pasha's sallying column Lad made that heroic charge, was literally covered with dead and wounded. Russian ' doctors were already going about ou the field looking after the wounded and giving them temporary dressing, while wuiting for the ambulances to oome up. There is nothing by which I have, through life, more profited than by the just observations, the good opinion and the sincere and gentle encouragement of amiable and sensible woman, Jltmilly. A Stamp-Collection Story. : Some time in October last, says the Boston Pont of a recent issue, an Aged lady in New York city, finding herself without the means to procure the neces saries of life, made application to vari ous persons for assistance in obtaining admission to the St. Luke's Home for Women in that city. One gentleman to whom she applied asked hpr if she was willing to make a great effort to obtain the desired end. She replied that it was not much that she could do, but her will was good, aud she would try. The gentleman then replied: "If you will collect one million of old postage stamps I will give you the $300 needed to ob tain admission to the Home," The old lady was at first discouraged. However, as she was a person of much energy and courage, she went to work in earnest. She first sought the assistance of some friends of better days, and was fortunate in finding two ladies noted for their energy in works of charity, Mrs. Gib bins and Mrs. Halstead, of New York, who promised to aid her. Their plan was as follows: To call nt many of the offices iu the city and ask that all the stamps on the letters received might be saved. Mrs. Gibbina also wrote to the wife of Mr. E. G. Champncy, the artist, of this city, requesting her assistance. Mrs. Champney at once began work. She informed her friends of the scheme and requested their assistance. The enthusiasm with which this idea was received was wonderful. Children began to watch for letters that came to their houses with almost as much im patience as any .lover watches for dainty, perfumed notes. Men and women on receiving letters would proceed to cut off the stamp before reading the epistle. From hundreds the number became thousands and ten thousands. Last week all that was wanted to complete the amount was ninety-four thousand. On receiving the contributions from various sources this week it wbb found that they had one million and five thou sand, and cn informing the gentleman who takes the stamps of the fact he offered to give another free bed in Dr. Burghart's Hospital for a second million, the bed to be disposed of by Mesdames Gibbins and Halstead to the most de serving person known to them. On being informed that her home for life was ensured the lady expressed her gratitude to the kind friends who had assisted her. Although having had the assistance of many, the lady has gather ed by her own personal efforts over three hundred thousand stamps in the past ten weeks, or an average of thirty thou sand in a week or five thousand in a day. The stamps on being received were counted and tied up in packages of one hundred each, and then ten of these packages were tied together, and in this form they were sent to the gentleman who has agreed to furnish the money. What final disposition was to be made of the stamps was for a long time a mat ter of much curiosity. It was at last ascertained that they ore to be sent to Europe to be used in the manufacture of papier-mache goods, the paper of which the stamps are made making them very desirable, and the mucilage also adding to their strength. The million stamps packed in the manner described, fill an ordinary Saratoga trunk. Hook's Practical Jokes. There is a story told of Hook carrying off a splendid wooden Highlander from before a snuff shop, throwing a cloak round it, and thrusting it into a cab. " My friend," he said, addressing the driver, who looked rather astonished at the figure, " a very respectable man, but a little tipsy. " Not even the passers-by in the street were exempt from his cool impudence. Observing a man of most pompous air strutting down the Strand, ne stopped him with " I beg your pardon sir, but may I ask if you are any one particular 1" Then, without waiting for a reply, he walked off, leaving the strauger transfixed with amazement These, however, are but poor specimens of his effrontery. Strolling one day arm-in-arm with Daniel Terry, the actor, up a street iu Soho, his nostrils were as sailed by a most savory odor. Looking down an area, he saw the servants in the kitchen below dressing up a very fine dinner. "A party, no doubt, said Terry; "jolly dogs! what a feast! I should like to make one of them." I'll take a bet I do," replied Hook. " Call for me at ten." Leaving his friend, he mounted the steps and knocked at the door. Believing him to be one of the expected guests, the servant conducted him to the drawing-room, where u num ber of persons were already assembled. Making himself perfectly at home he had half-a-dozen people about him, laughing at his bona mota, before the host dis covered that a stranger was present. " I beg your pardon, sir," he said, ad dressing the uninvited one, " your name? I did not quite catch it ; servants are incorrect." "Smith, sir, Smith," re plied the unblushing Theodore, "don't apologize ; you are quite right, sir, ser vants are great blockheads ; I remember a most remarkable instance of their mis takes." "But, really, sir," interrupted the host mildly, "I did not anticipate the pleasure of Mr. Smith's company to dinner. Whom do you suppose you are addressing?" "Mr. Thompson, of course," auswered Hook, "an old friend of my father's. I received a kind invi tation from yJu yesterday, on my arrival from Liverpool, to dine with you to-day, family party, come in boots, you said." The host at once disclaimed the name of Thompson, or any knowledge of the vivacious Smith. " Good heavens 1 then I have come to the wrong house," ex claimed the hoaxer, " my dear sir, how can I apologize ? so awkward, too, and I have asked a friend to call for me." The old gentleman, probably thinking so witty a personage would make an excel lent addition to his party, begged him to remain. With a profusion of apolo gies, Hook at first pretend! to decline ultimately accepted. Everybody was delighted with him ; all the evening he Kept up, a constant are ol wit and re pai'tee, and ultimately sat down to the piano, and sang extempore verses on every one present In the midst of these the door opened, and true to his appoint ment, in walked Terry, at the sight of whom, striking a new key, be sang ; "I'm very much pleased wltb your fate, Your cellar'! as fine as your cook ; My friend'i Mr. Terry the player; And I'm Mr. Theodore Hook."

Luther Martin was one of the most famous lawyers of his time. He was a little alwve the medium height, and was slovenly in appearance. His dress was a compound of the flue and the coarse, and seemed never to have felt the brush. He wore ruffles at the wrist richly edged with lace after every one else had aban doned them. These ruffles were con spicuously broad, and were always dirty with tobacco juice. Judge Tauey said that in his speech he used vulgarisms, and that he heard him say " cotch " him, instead of caught him, and we sot down, iastead of sat down. His genius was frequently clouded by the excessive use of strong driuk. Beiug engaged in an important case,' he promised his clients the day before the suit was to be tried not to drink any liquor. He retired to his room, but could not resist his desire for stimulants. He sent for a bottle of brandy and a loaf of bead, and after saturating the bread thoroughly with the brandy, he ate it, and his nufortunate appetite was satis fled, and he claimed he had kept his promise not to drink. He tried the cause iu the ablest possible manner, but on being reproached by his clients for his virtual violation of "his promise, he remarked : "I did not driuk a drop ; bo sides, say no more about it. Had it not been for the breod,I would have lost the case." He had a uaralvtin stroke, and having squandered his large earnings at the bar as fast ns they were acquired, in his old age, uuder the goadings of penury, he removed to jNew xork. and received the hospitalities and kind attentions of Aaron Jsurr, whom he had ably defended at Richmond. Before his death the Legis lature passed a resolution that every one on being admitted to the bar should pay one dollar cash for his use. He died on July 10, 1826, when he was eighty-two years of age. Snipe Shooting Extraordinary. The greatest shooting exploit ever performed in this country, says the New Orleans Picayune, was recently achived by a gentleman, long a resident of this State, and the owner of some of the largest plantations, sugar and cot ton. For years past the exploits of this gentleman have been regarded with the nignest aamiration and wonder in all sporting circles. Leasing out his splendid sugar estates ou the Teche, he has reserved the privilege of occupying a shooting box, which he calls his snipery, where he spends every year a month or so, to enjoy without dis turbance his favorite amusement of shooting this fine and agilo bird, which abounds on his own and the adjoining plantations. The results of his sport and skill in past years have been fre quently referred to as wonderful.- To bag three hundred Buipe on the wing, of course, a day has been a common achievementcommon for him, but never accomplished by any other sports man. In his last enterprise, however, he surpassed his previous exploits by devoting six successive days to this sport The result was a bag of nineteen hundred and sixty snipe. Allowing six hours per day for the hunt, this would give a snipe a minute, which is about equal to the hog-killing operations of the great slaughter-houses of Chicago. Besides the pleasure and pride of such au achievement, the robust appearauce of the gentleman by whom it was per formed, when we met him on our streets. attests the happy effects upon his physi cal condition of the exercise and excite ment of his Nimrodiau enterprise. He will return to his enjoyment of the luxuries and pleasures of his family residence at Biaritz, France, with a keen and invigorated relish and capacity of enjoyment. The Pocock Brothers.

I gradually grew worse, and no one can know how much I suffered or what a miHPi-aMe being I was. My 'head ached over my eves so that I was confined to my bed for many successive days, suffering the 'most in tense pain, whioh at one time lasted continu ously for 108 hours. All sense of smell and taste gone, night and hea ing impaired, body shrunken and weakened, nervous system shat tered, and constitution broken, and 1 was hawk ing and spitting seven eighths of the time.
