London Clubs.
People may Wt as they please of,
the pleasure of the Continental capitals
but the club life which is sc institution
of London, offers unrivalled aUractions
to the bachelor ho is impecunious and
unattached. If he has any sort cf pre-1
tensions, he is sure of finding a footing
somewhere. Payment of the entrance i
money may be "a pull, as Mr, TraJ-j
dies in " Dvid Copperfield" remarked
of his fees at the bar; but the annual
subscription is relatively Insignificant,
and it secures Mm a mansion on the
joint stock principle which otherwise
would be far beyond the means of a
man of twenty times his income. It is
true that the life in public has its draw
backs. It is the nature of all animals
when suffering from ailiueuts to with
draw themselves from the company of
their kind aud sulk and mope iu their
lairs. But if the club bachelor is sick
or sorry, there is no lielp for him.
Keeping to his apartment through the
day would make a disagreeable sensa
tion in the establishment, giving rise to
all kinds of sinister rumors, while the
dismal Influences of his den would in
fallibly confirm him in the blue devils.
Vet if he goes forth to his club he will
be surrounded in.his melancholy mood
by a crowd of lively and unsympathetic
acquaintances who will either innocent
ly bore him to death or offer him "chaff"
for consolation. And even if his health
and spirits are unflagging until they
finally go with a crash, he must break
himself to be the slave of his habits if
he is to make the routine of his existence
endurable. Every club man must be
familiar with certain members whose
presence may be counted upon all the
year round more confluently than that
of the waiters, who sometimes are in
dulged with a holiday. Each day of
the year from January to December
these men are to be seen in the places
they have appropriated. How sick they
must become of the little table where
they daily breakfast, lunch and dine!
How weary they must be of the menu,
varied as less frequent visitors may Dud
it! The very patterns of the curtains
and carpets must have worked them
selves into their souls; and, if they are
sensitive, they must have an uneasy
feeling of the detestation in which they
are held by the servants. Too often
they are tyrants; but, however unex
acting they may be, their invariable
presence must make them the hardest
of taskmasters; aud they have doomed
themselves to haunt the house like
weary spirits, even to the point of din
ing there on Christmas Day. A melan
choly routine of this kind must inevi
tably engender dyspepsia and aggravate
those inevitable maladies to which all
flesh is heir. And when their health
begins to break up it is horrible to
picture their condition. The doctor
may prescribe change and recommend
cheerful society ; but possibly they are
tethered by the lack of means, and, at
all events, they are hobbled by confirm
ed habits. It Is long since they gave up
trying the country, having lnund the
oppression of it intolerable. Their ut
most change latterly has been a Sunday
at Brighton, and then it was with in
tense relief that they hurried back on
the Monday. The chief excitement of
their monotonous days was to be found
at table or in the smoking room. But
now they are put upon a regimen and
stinted in the quantity of their food.
Severe injunctions, under pain of death,
cut them down in the favorite indul
gence of smoking. Sherry at odd times
and brandy and soda of an evening are
peremptorily forbidden. They have
neither intellectual nor other resources
to console them under the restriction of
stimulants and narcotics; and, worst of
all, the privations to which they are
condemned seem to do nothing toward
repairing their shattered constitutions.
They grow more hopeless and unhappy
as their health becomes more precarious
and their frames more feeble; until,
finally, they perforce are made prison
ers in their lodgings, and one day it is
announced in the club that old So-and-so
Is gone at last.
Itarnegat shoals.
Along this aeeolale coast so many
vessels have come to grief, and so many
bodies have been washed ashore, that it
Is known among fishermen as the grave
yard. Treasures from manylands are gath
ered from wrecks, and a fisherman's
family is often helped through a trying
winter by the provisions which the sea
casts up. When an orange schooner in
wrecked, there Is dessert after every
meal in the cottage; or should the cargo
be prunes, that fruit becomes a common
article of diet. A visitor is something
surprised to see foreign brands of olives
and canned stuffs on the shelves of the
village stores ; he learns that they have
been secured from a wreck, and the
host of one inn at which we spent a
night and had some excellent Maria
Benvenuto claret, labelled, with grim
suggestiveness, "Importation direct tia
Barnegat Shoals."
Much queerer things than these are
occasionally picked up. A forlorn old
parrot, feebl ;tl from its un-English com
plainings, drifted in on a spar; and at
auother time a pair of Manx cats were
saved from a wreck by a noted old bench
man, Caleb Parker of Harvey Cedars,
'near the Barnegat Light, who has raised
a family of eleven more, and meets a
visitor at the door of his cottage with
purring retinue of his furry friends,
one of tnein perched on bis cap, two
others playing on his shoulders, and
the rest brushing his lsgs. "Dad"
Parker is one of the heroes of the coast,
and carries a silver medal presented to
him for life-saving.

AGRICULTURE.
Carst o Shut Losing ihiie Wool.
There is no method or medicine no
feed or treatment that will arrest the
arnnl from falling from the sheep when
once it has begun, for the reason that
the Injury is done to tne nore 01 toe
wool long before it begins to fall out.
The wool, bv some sickness or disease,
or maltreatment in feeding has been ar
rested in its continuous growtn, ana is
broken or rotted, and when the new
growth of wool starts, it pushes the old
wool out till It urops. n e nave oinen
beard wool growers say, "I wonder
what makes that sheep cast its fleece or
drop its wool, it has been treated as
well as the rest." But the fact is it had
a bad spell of some kind some time In
the fall, ana nas oeen ovenooaeu un
the fleece tells the story. All the grain
it will eat, and the best hay, won't
make the wool unite again when It is
once broken. Of course, the sheep that
are getting into the best condition with
the grain feed are only nurrying up w
grow a new fleece, and are shedding
their old rotten fleece faster than those
that are not so w ell fed. That Is the
whole secret. The only way to save
the wool is to shear it now and blanket
the sheep, or keep them under cover
till mild weather, with good feed. If
they have any skin disease, or are
troubled w ith ticks, you will then see
it, and be prepared to apply the proper
remedies. . --.
Balkisg. As to the matter of balk
Inc. no ceneral direction can be given,
or rule established. If the education of
the colt has been conducted in accord
ance with correct prin iples, he will
not balk. Balking on the part 01 tne
colt is, tor the most part, the result of
the trainer's ignon.nce or passion.
Veiling and whipping on the part of
the traiuer or driver, overloading, sore
shoulders, or ill-titting collars these
are the causes that make horses balk.
But if you have a horse or colt that
balks, while one cannot, without a per
sonal knowledge of the subject, tell you
what to do, we can tell you what not to
do never whip. If he won't go let him
stand still and think over iu ue win
very often think better of it, and rfter
a few momenta' reflection, and a few
tosses of the bead, go on of his own ac-

than one vicious horse gentled into
good behavior by a few pats from a
lady's gloved haud on the moist neck

watering horses immediately after a
full feed of grain, a writer in the Stock
Journal says: "The first effect of this
is to largely distend the stomach, and
the result may be as serious as if the
material used were masticated grain
saliva. But should this danger be
avoided matters are not necessarily left
in a better state. The sudden and ex
cessive influx of water is likely to wash
much of the contents of the stomach
into the intestines before the nitrogen
ous principles have been digested, and
fermentation, extrication of gases, over
distension, colics and inflammations re
sult. Even this is not all. The appli
cation of an excess of cold water on the
mucous membranes of the stomach and
intestines causes vascular congestion
and violent muscular contractions, so
that all tend to digestive disorders of a
dangerous nature." Here you have
the matter in a nutshell, aud to avoid
foundering a horse he should never be
watered beyond a few quarts, when
heated. In tact, it is not safe to give a
horse any water when much heated.
The grain of rye, on an average,
yields about twenty-four per cent, of
bran and seventy-six of flour. Rye
flour is much darker than wheaten flour,
and when baked furnishes a wholesome
and nutritious bread, wbich keeps Ion
ger moist than bread made of wheaten
flour. '1 he fine flour is not so nutri
tious as the whole grain, and it is for
this reason that in Northern Germany
the laboring classes never sift the flour,
but use rye in the making of bread,
husk and all. The grain is merely
coarsely ground, and baked into a dark
brown colored hard bread. Dry rye
flour contains 10. o per cent, of gluten,
64 of starch, 3.5 of fatty matters, 3 of
sugar, 11 of gum, 6 of salts, aud 2 per
cent. loss.

An Old Residence Burned,
The historical mansion of the Living'
stou family railed "Aliuont," the old
residence of the family at Anandale,
was destri ed by fire recently. The
fire is supposed to hare originated from
a stove in an upiier room. All the fur
niture in the lower floor was saved,
but everything on the floors above was
consumed, including clothing, jewelry,
silverware, fce. The building was
almut one hundred feet in length, and
was owned by Roliert Livingston, aud
valued at $10,000, on w hich there was
considerable insurance. It was built
by Colonel Ie Veaux. a retired British
ofticer.affertliereTuluiioii. In Lossing's
"Book of the Hudson,' however, special
reference is made to it. Among other
things the book savs it is called "Mont
gomery place," and is "the residence
of the family of the late Edward Living
ston, brother of the Chancellor, who is
distinguished iu the annals of . his
country as a leading United States
Senator, the author of the eiial code
of the State oi Louisiana and Ambas
sador to France." The elegant mau.-ion
(the book says) was built by the widow
of General Richard Montgomery, a
companion in arms of Wolfe when he
fell at Quebec, and w ho perished under
the walls of that city leading a storming
party of Republicans ou the 31st of
December, 177". When, he gave his
young wife a parting kiss at the house
of General Schuyler, at Saratoga, and
hastened to join that cilice r at Ticon-
deroga in the campaign that proved
fatal to him, he said, "Vou shall never
blush for your Montgomery." The
wife of Montgomery was a sister of
Chaiicellor Livingston. . With ample
pecuniary means and good tasteat com
mand, she built this mansion and there
spent fifty years of widowhood, child'
less but cheerful. The mansion and
its four hundred acres passed into the
possession of her brother Edward, and
there, as we have observed, members of
his family resided when it burned. Of
all the fine estates alonir that portion of
the Hudson, that is said to have been
the most perfeet in its beauty aud ar
rangements. Waterfalls, picturesque
bridges, romantic glens, groves, a mag
nificent park, one of ihe most beautiful
of the ornamented gardens in this
country, and view of the river and
mountains unsurpassed rendered
"Montgomery Place" a retreat to be
coveted even by the most favored of
fortune. It was a square built struct
ure, two stories and attic high, and
had immense .broad piazzas in front
and rear, and the approaches to it were
in the grand old style of years agone.

In clearing what was once the site of
Pye corner for the erection of a new
library and museum two stone sar
cophagi were exhumed. They were
eleven feet from the surface, situate
some fifty feet from the new buildings
in Windmill court, and at no great dis
tance from the line of the city wall.
They lay east and west, are about seven
feet long, of coarse oolitic stone, have
massive lids or covers, and can at once
be identified as Roman. In one two
skeletons were found; one of a man
with his head to the west the other of
a woman with hers lying towards the
east. Both the skulls and the teeth are
in good preservation. In the other
tomb a leaden coffin had been placed.
It is much corroded, and has been con
siderably injured by the effects of the
finders to convey it away piecemeal for
sale and the melting pot. It has for
tunately been saved, and sufficient re
mains entire to identify the ornamenta

moulding disposed in a diamond pattern
and resembles similar coffins found
years ago at Old Ford, Stratford, Bath

The sarcophagi both resemble that
found a year or two since near to Sea
coal lane and on the bank of the old
Fleet river. This is now preserved in
the Museum of.the Corporation of Lon
don at Guildhall. At the head of one of
the tombs appeared a short stone pillar,
a portion of a column with sufficient of
the moulding remaining to indicate its
origin. It is such as have been fre
quently seen among the debris of
Soman buildings, and probably served
as a headstone or other memorial the
forerunner, doubtless, or the "Shattered
Column" so familiar in our modern
cemeteries. Smithfield has long been
known as the site of one of the extensive
cemeteries attached to Roman London.
The remains, however, usually found
are simply bones, charred or otherwise,
cinerary urns, and broken pottery.

A Relic of Nelson.
A curious memento of Lord Nelson
was offered for sale at Christie and
31 an son's London, on the 17th inst.,
and purchased by Mr. James Griffin,
bookseller, the Hard, Portsmouth.
When the Admiral received his fatal
shot at Trafalgar, eighty-four guineas,
mostly of the spade ace pattern, were
found In his purse, and these, with
other effects of the hero, were sent to
Mr. Alexander Davidson, Nelson's in
timate friend and navy agent. David
son had the guineas soldered together
and formed into a pyramid roof, with
the obverse and reverse faces alternate
ly uppermost, the whole being support
ed at the angles on the shoulders of
four full-length weeping female figures
ia dull metal gilt, a polished gilt ball
Intervening between the supports and
the corners of the roof. In the center
of the canopy thus formed is a metal
gilt miniature sarcophagus, which
stands upon a plinth, formed of four
steps, and is surmou ntcd by a Viscounts
coronet resting upon a cushion. The
handles of the sarcophagus are compos
ed of the stem and prow of an Admiral's
barge. The trophy, which is capped by
a trident, bears on its front the follow
ing inscription : "These guineas were
in Lord Viscount Nelson's purse at the
time he received the fatal wound off
Trafalgar, Oct. 21, 1835." The back
and sides are inscribed thus : Battle of
St. Vincent, 14-.h February, 1797;"
"Battle of the Nile. August 1, 1793,"
and " Battle of Copenhagen, 2 J April,
1801." The trophy became the property
of the late Mr. William Joy, of Cheain,
in whose possession it remained forty
years, and by whose executors it was
put up at auction. It is satisfactory to
know that the relic is now within sight
of the old Victory, Nelson's flag-ship,
and at the center of the naval service.
Re-Opening- a Thoroaglilare.
In order to guard against results utterly
sabre bits of health, it it absolutely essential
that the grand thoroughfare or arenas of the
system, the bowels, shoa.d be re-opened as
speedily aa possible when they become ob
structed; if tbey era not, the bile is misdi
rected into the blood; tbe liver becomes tor
pid; viscid biliont nutter gets into the stom
ach, and produces indigeatinc , headaches en
sue, aud other symptoms are produced, which
a proionga ion of tbe ncitiifc cause onlv tends
to aggravate. The aperient properties of Hos
tetter's Stomach Utter eonst.tute a most use
ful agent in overcoming constriction oi the
bowels, and promoting a regular babit of body.
It ia infinitely superior to tbe drsst e cathar
tics frequently nsed for the purpose, since it
does not, ha them, act violently but pro
duces a na nraL painless effect, which does
not impair the tone of the evacuafory organs;
wnicn u invigorates instead or weakeuinic. JTie
stomach and liver, also, indeed tbe entire sts
tem, is strengthened and regulated by it,
