Greeley.
Mr. Greeley wu a persistent and un
tiring worker. lie wm wy seldom
ilnTved resting away from bia desk.
lu the Inter year of bis life he did oc
casionally resort to a lounge for nap,
but it was because be had lost bis reg
ular rest previously. When deeply ab
sorbed he committed the most comical
i ts. lie would shout loudly for the
boy. aud then the colloquy :
Dennis, what thief has taken my
tci-ors?"
"Why, Mr. Greeley, there's your
scissors on the chair."
"I did not see them."
He was a late worker, and although
he knew there was a limit to the time
when he could get his deliverances into
the paper, he was certain to be a trans
gressor. Xext day there was a noise
made in the business department over
lute mails aud bundles which were de
layed by getting the paper late to press.
Who was to blame? David Khoades
could tell when the "forms" came
down; the foreman, Sam. Walters,
could tell when he sent them down,
aud when he got his last copy marked
"must" from Mr. Greeley. When the
matter was brought to Mr. Greeley's
attention be promised to- attend to it.
Then he waited the arrival of Dave.
Khoades at night, to ventilate his grief.
Greeley Dave, how was it that the
pajicr was behind this morning?
Dave What's the use of asking me?
I guess you ought to know belter than
anybody else. Why don't you go home
in decent time and go to bed? Stop
ping here all night and losing our
mails!
Greeley .Souieliody's always saying
it's me.
Dave So it is you. You know well
enough it's you.
Exit Greeley.
Theu, as soon as he arrived up stairs:
"Myrou" (Booker, low of Albany),
"you must get the paper down earlier;
Dave Khoades says it's all your fault
up here that the paper is late every
morning."
"Yes," retorted Myron, "we'll get it
down early in the evening."
And Greeley would go into bis room
to grind out some more "lata copy."
What He Wanted.
A fashionably dressed mau, smoking
a fragrant Havana, was currying down
Barclay street to catch a ferry boat and
make his connection with a special
train.
There was a large crowd following
him, aud as he was about to cross Green
wich street a man standing in a door
wav about half a block behind him
yelled :
'Hey, mister, with the drab overcoaj
arid plug bat !'
The man paused a moment, aud look
tug around In the direction from which
the voice came, he was greeted with the
following:
'Hey, mister, come here, hurry up!'
By the way the man in the doorway
shouted, the other supposed that he
wauted something of importance, so he
hastily retraced his steps.
He had but three minutes to catch
the boat aud the crowd was rushing
dowu the street so thick aud fast that
be had a difficult time in getting back.
Reaching the man he said:
What do you want me for?'
'Well, 1 just want to trouble you for
a light.'
'You blasted idiot?' exclaimed the
man, in an ecstasy of rage; 'you've
made me miss a train by your infernal
foolishness" '
How'd I know you were trying to
catch a train?' said the other tellow,
apologetically ; 'do you suppose I kuow
everybody's movements; I just wanted
to trouble you for a light; there's no
law against that, is there!'
The man didn't reply ; but as he hur
ried away he made a kick at the fellow,
whom he missed, and coming in contact
w th a piece of orange skin, he meas
ured himself on the sidewalk.
He missed the train.
Prepared at All Points.
Here Is something that happened on
a railway train somewhere in New
England last summer. A woman clad
in deep mourning entered the cars at a
way-station. She took a seat in front
of an inquisitive, sharp-faced female.
The woman in black had not been seated
long before she felt a slight tap on the
shoulder, and heard her neighbor ask.
in a low, sympathetic tone;
"Lost anybody 1"
A silent nod was the response. A
silent paue, then a second question :
Child?"
A low shake of the bead In the nega
tive. "Parent?"
A similar shake.
"Husband ?"
This time the slight nod again.
"Life insured?"
A nod.
"Experience religion?"
A nod.
Then : "Well, well, cheer up!
insured and experienced religion,
are all right, and so Is he!"

The B iatorv of Torpedoes.
Although it appears that submarine
explosives were devised by the Chinese
a far back as the time of their inven
tion of gunpowder, it is to America
that Europe owes the torpedo. The
first three names connected with its
earlier history are Americans Bush
uell, Fulton and Colonel Colt, of re
volver fame. In 1777 Iiushuell ar
ranged an apparatus for exploding
gunpowder under water, but when it
was practically tried against Lord
Howe's ship Lion it proved a failure,
In 17t7 Robert Fulton took the subject
up, aud showed to Xapoleon in 1801
me nrst success ot winch there is
record. In 1S04 he brought his inven
tlon under the notice of Pitt, who
favored him with warm support, until
a naval authority gave utterance to the
opinion that "Pitt was the greatest fool
that ever lived to encourage a mode of
war which they who commanded the
seas did not need, and. if successful
would deprive them of it." Fulton re
ceived 4.10,000 with an expression of
thanks, and a suggestion that bis ser
vices were no longer needed. He went
back to America, and by 1810 worked
out two torpedo schemes, both of which
depended on the mechanical ignition of
the fuse. Colonel Colt, in 1841. first
suggested the employment of galvanism
to fire a charge of explosives, but noth
ing was done till the Russian war of
154, when both mechanical and elec
trical torpedoes were used in the Black
Sea and the Baltic. Her Majesty's
ships Firefly and Merlin were both
damaged, aud on June 21, 1853, a tor
pedo fished up exploded on the poop of
her Majesty's ship txmouth. In the
American war, torpedoes came to b
recognized on both sides as instruments
of warfare quite as important as rains,
iron-clad, and big guns. In 1SC6
Captain McEvoy invented a buoytnt
torpedo, so arranged that when struck
by a ship the cover, on being tilted off,
fired a chemical fuse aad exploded the
charge. In December last lie also in
vented and patented a torpedo which
could be fired either at will by electric
ity or could be left to act mechanically.
Gunpowder, gun-cotton, and dynamite
are now used as explosives. The latest
improvement is the arrangemeut for
steering a torpedo boat by electricity
from a ship or fort, and exploding it
when iesired. The protection against
torpedoes are networks around a ship
to prevent approach, fishing them up,
or counter-mining and exploding them.
One of the latter developments i; for
the torpedo boats to carry an apparatus
for pumping crude petroleum onto
ships and igniting it by a special rocket.
The mixture of fire and smoke drives
the men from the guns; the torpedo
boat can then approach closely with
out being fired on; can with one tor
pedo break away any surrounding pro
tections there may be, and then can ex
plode a torjiedo under the ship.
A Family Fichu
The W g and the F s are the
two principal families in Northeast
Georgia, and it is a popular superstition
that a man born here is nearly or re
motely connected with one of these two
families. As is usually the case, the
W a are jealous of the F 8, and
the F s make war on the W s.
If a W and a F get into a quar
rel, others are embroiled, aud a personal
dispute oftentimes assumes mammoth
proportions before it is deflnitKly set
tled. They tell a very good story at
Dahlonega of this peculiarity. Circuit
Court was in session and an F was
on the bench. The court and county
officers were about equally divided
among the two families. The court
house in Dahlonega Is arranged with
the court-room in the second story, the
first floor being used as offices for the
county officials. A wide hallway runs
through the building and two flights of
stairs connect the first floor with the
court-room. Court was in session, and
the room was packed. A noise and
hubbub in the hall below arrested the
attention of judge, jury, attorneys and
spectators. Curses and loud words
were plainly heard. It .was evident a
fight was going on.
"Mr. Sherifl," commanded the judge
"take those disorderly parties into cu
tody and bring them up here. I will
teach them to have proper respect for
this honorable court.
Thus directed the sherifTleft the room
but did not return. The tumult waxed
louder and the quarrel was evident!
increasi ng instead of decreasing. Occa
sionally a pistol shot was heard. Sev
eral of the spectators and one or two of
the attorneys left the room. The judge
looked around and espying a deputy
sheriff directed him to hasten to the
assistance of his chief. lie went, but
did not return. The coroner was sent
he, too, remained below. The uproar
grew louder and the reports of pistols
more frequent. A constable, two bail
iffs, another deputy sheriff and the clerk
of the court were in turn commanded to
preserve tiie peace and uphold the dig
nity of the court. Not one of these
officials returned, and the room was
nearly cleared of attorneys and specta
tors, while the "twelve good men and
true" twisted uneasily on their bench
in the jury box. The face of the honor
able court became crimson with shame
and anger : and as the solicitor general
laid down his books and prepared to
leave the room he dismissed the jury
and coming down en the bench was
heard to remark that "he'd see if this
court was to be treated with contempt !'
Flushed with a consciousness of the
great indignity being offered his wor
shipful person by the rioters below, hi
honor hastened down stairs. A crowd
was surging up and down the hall, mad
with passion. Pistols were brandished
bowie-knives nasLed and the air was
heavy with smoke and curses. Pausing
lor a moment on the stairway, the bet
ter to survey the field of battle, the
honorable judge suddenly threw off his
ethcial robe, pulled a murderous seven-
shooter from his belt, and with the cry
of "Give 'em h I boys!" juuiied into
the crowd and lost his ctucial identity
in the general crush. The F s and
the W s were at war, and rot unti
the latter party was at last vanquished
did the judge return to his bench.
A Kmileless Man.
The warden of the Springfield. Mas
sachusetts, prison, tells the following
story of one of the inmates : "He seems
to be a man of more than ordinary
ability, one of the better class of sub
stantial, frugal Irish citizens, who own
ed a small place in one of our manu
facturing villages, where he resided
with his family of grown up sons and
daughters, all permanently employed
and in comfortable circumstances. The
old man had a fine garden on w hich he
bestowed his leisure hours, in a part of
which was a fine lot of cabbages. It
seems that the boys in the neighbor
hood had a habit of tresspassing on tbe
old man's garden, until he had deter
mined on getting rid of them by firing
his gun to frighten them away. One
night hearing some one in his garden,
he took down his gun. and, getting be
hind the hedge, fired into the garden,
as he claims without aim or seeing any
one to aim at. But the report of the
gun alarmed the neighbors, who on
rushing into the garden, found the life
less body of a young girl shot through
the heart. The old man, when told
what he h.id done, was struck dumb
He was arrested and sentenced to im
prisonment for life. He has now been
here fur ten years, and his face has be
come as marble; there is no hope;
nothing but the sad remembrance of
that dreadful night. In Ireland they
have a superstition among tbe young
girls that whoever on Hallowe'en shall
place a cabbage over the door will mar
ry tiie first young man that enters the
door afterwards. And this, it was
proved, was the errand of the voung
girl in the old man's garden. But in
stead of a wedding slie found a grave.'
Color Blindness.
Color blindness is still the subject of
much investigation in Europe, with
somewhat surprising results. On one
French railroad 1,050 men, from 13 to
50 years of age, were examined from
July, 1873, to October, 1876, on objects
of color, violet, green, blue, yel'ow and
red. Ninety-eight, or nearly 10 per
cent., mistook at least one of these
colors. Tbe errors male: Concerning
violet, 78; blue, 50; green, 54; yellow,
14; red, 10. Tw enty-nine gave correct
answers "after repeated hesitations,"
and eight corrected mistakes afterward.
Only 11 of the whole number were re
jected for color blindness.
AGRICULTURE.
A Vixetabd on Evxbt Fabm. We
hare often thought thai the dav is not
far distant when the art and practice of
wine-making will be as familiar with
the people of this country as the manu
facture of cider is now, especially as the
juice ol the grape. If properly managed
is greatly superior to that of the apple
in strength and health giving elements.
It Is no great trouble for the farmer
owning a few vines to provide an ample
supply or wine for bit household at
comparatively trifling cost. A half
acre in each hundred of cultivated land
set with vines of hardy varieties, would
oe sumcient, if well cared for. to fur
nish both fruit and wineenongh for the
number of people occupying that num
ber ol acres.
To be sure there are limited regions
sn our country where the vine will not
succeed but the area is vast where
grapes would thrive to a sufficient de
gree to make the growing of them for
lamlly use satislactory. however un
profitable it might be to raise them for
market. Inany locality where a solitary
vine does well, it is certain that others
will do likewise, and thus the wants of
the population might be supplied. By
such universal planting only can w
hope to see the rural population of our
laud supplied with trim and wine, for
the products of the favored grape re
gions, where the culture is carried on
extensively, will be mostly absorbed by
the cities. Iet every farmer, then
have his vineyard as well as his orch
ard, not for tbe purpose of selling its
products, but for consuming them I
his own family. It is pretty safe to as
sert that where apple trees will flour
isb, there will some varieties of the
grape do tolerably well.
The manufacture of home-made wine
from the grape is practiced in many
parts of the country with complete sue
cess, and is conducted almost precisely
like that of cider. Have the grape ripe
and clean, mash them and press out the
juice with care. Let it ferment for
lew days, like good cider, then rack off,
cleanse the casks thoroughly and refit
them; bung tight, and rack again early
in the spring, and fur the third lime on
the approach of hot weather. If the
casks are sound and sweet, and kept
well filled, and stored in a clean, cool
cellar, the beverage will excel in grate
ful flavor and in its bealthlul exhilira-
ting t fleets when the hard labor and
hot sun of summer tempt its trial. The
yield of an acre or well cultivated hardy
varieties average about four hundred
gallons of wine, as easily n ale as
much good cider.
To Pkkvixt Wormy ArPLEa. A Ger
man nomologist has discovered a simple
method of preserving apples from the
nasty worms which so frequently lurk
at the core or which bore to thesurface.
leaving a trail of filth behind them
1 be moth parent or the worm. It was
observed, oftenest lays it eggs between
the leaves of the calix, and the plan Is
to cut off tbe calix close to the appli
when it bag reached the size of a hazel
or walnut. The prominent situation of
tbe calix at that period of the iruit
growth greatly facilitates its removal,
and several hundred can be done in an
hour. In those instauces in which the
cutting slightly damaged the calix tube
the wound soon healed over and becam
covered with a yellowish green cork
like substance, the latter eventually
closing the tube, and thus creating an
Impassable barrier to the insect. As
regards tbe shape of the apple, this is
somewhat altered by the above treat
ment, so as to milder the variety less
easily distinguishable, but the sligti
diminution m length resulting from
its adoption is more than compensated
for by increased thickness, total absence
of grub, and const quently generally
finer appearance. 1 or the purposes of
comparison, a considerable portion of
the fruit on each of the trees selected
for the original experiment bad been
left in its natural state, and the apples
operated on were chose- quite and ran
dom, regardless of aspect or situation
The fallen fruit under the different
trees was found to consist exclusively
ol such as had been operated upon.
Wheat Raising in Cms. It is said
that returned Chinamen, who have
learned on the 1'acidc slope to prefe
wheat to rice as the staple article of
rood, are introducing not only the taste
lor tt, but also Its cultivation In thei
native land. For the past few years
considerable quantities of wheat have
been exporter! to China; but it is said
that the home production is increasing
so rapiuiy mat there will soon be a sur
plus for export. So careful and close is
Chinese agriculture, that the wheat
never yields less than forty bushels to
the acre, and even at twenty-five centsa
bushel this pays well.

Gallipoli.
Gallipoli, where the last remnant of
the field army of the Turkish empire Is
assembled, was the first town occupied
oy me Auras in Europe, it was cap
tured in 13o6, by Orkban, tbe son and
successor of Oth man or Ottoman, who
Is usually regarded as the founder of the
Turkish empire. Tbe town of Gallipoli
was held by Orkban for two years, and
served as the base of operations of the
first Turkish expedition against Con
stantinople, i be latter enterprise was
in so far successful that the suburbs of
Constantinople werecaptured, and only
evacuated upon payment by the inhabi
tants of a heavy ransom.
With the money thus obtained Orkhan
rebuilt Gallipoli, which had suffered
very greatly during its siege, and sev
eral of the public buildings which still
exist in the town were then constructed
At the same time the Janissaries were
organized by Orkhan, who also assumed
the title of Sultan. The success achieved
by Otbman, the father of Orkhan, in
Asia, and which enabled the latter to
cross the Hellespont and lay the founda
tion of the Turkish power In Europe is
attributed by Turkish historians to
dream.
Othman according to them was visit
ing a sheik named Edebali, with whose
daughter he was in love, but whose con
sent to his marriage he bad not been
able to gain, when one day he dreamed
that he was reposing on the same couch
as his host. Suddenly the moon seemed
to emerge from Edebali's body and enter
his own breast. Instantly there sprang
from his loins an infmeuse tree, rapidly
acquiring fresh size and foliage until its
branches shaded Europe, Asia, and
Africa. Tbe leaves of the tree were
long, pointed, and glittering like sabres,
Suddenly a wind arose and directed the
points of all these sabre-like leaves
toward the principal cities of the uni
verse, but especially toward Constanti
nople, which, placed at tbe junction of
two seas and two continents, resembled
noble diamond set between two sap
phire stones and two emeralds, forming
the precious jewel of the ring of a vast
dominion that circled the entire world.

SCIENTIFIC.
An Illuminating Cannon Shot. One of
the most simple and ingenious contriv
ance for the purpose of investing a
neet with a zone or itgnt through whicn
no enemy could pass without being ob
served has been devised oy u. rerui
nand Silas, of Veinna, whoso experi
ments with life buoys at Portsmouth
have been reported In these columns.
M. Silas' inextineuishable lightning is
made to fit any gun, and can, accord
ingly, be projected any distance. The
pnjectile consists of three parts, one
wii'iin the other. Within the shell
proper is a lining of wet sponge, and
within this a glass bottle, which fills
the whole cavity; the bottom of tbe
shell unscrewing to admit of its en
trance. This bottle is tilled witn
various charges of phosphide, none of
which, however, is to be less than ten
pounds. A small channel is bored
through the sharp point of a shell in
order to allow the air to mix freely with
the wet sponge, and there a couple of
apertures in the head which are plugged
with wooden stoppers covered with
leather. 'Through the movable bottom
of the shell a steel striker is inserted,
which is fitted with a spring and com
municates with the glass bottle within.
When the light shell is fired, the spring
sinker Is driven forward by tbe explo
sion like a gas check, and so bieaks the
bottle; the water then contained in the
jacket ot the sponge penetrates through
the broken glass and saturates through
the phosphide; phospuretted hydrogen
is immediately generated in lance
quantities, by the pressure of which two
stoppers are loreed out and two streams
of illuminating matter are poured upon
the sea. Ihe light burns with great
brilliancy for a considerable time, and
it is claimed to be inextinguishable.
Automatic buoys are provingof peculiar
value as a nautical invention. They are
constructed in a manner somewhat
similar to a fog whistle, and are self-
acting, lhey are forty-two feet in
length, aud that part wherein the
whistle lies in twelve lect in diameter.
aud attached to a long iron tube about
two leet in dianuter. hen in position
the tube descends vertically iuto the
water, the whistle part remaiuing as
nearly upright as the motion ot the
waves will allow. When thus placed,
the swell of the sea compresses the air
in the tube and forces it upward into
the whistle, causing it to give with every
roll a sound like that of a fog horu.
The strength and duration of tbe
sounds are increased or diminished as
the sea is heavy or smooth, and in a
guow storm or tog, these whistles can
be heard some ten or twelve miles' dis
tance. The buoys are for dangerous
localities, where beacons or lighthouses
cannot Oe constructed to answer the
purpose of a warning signal.
The HageM color which ladies so
long have prized so highly has received
a severe blow from an article in the ilt
dietttitte Jnhrbueher, which has been
much commented upon. The relation
is of a case of chronic arsenical poison
ing from thense of Magenta iu the arts.
The deceased had been long accustomed
to color artificial flowers, and moss with
Magenta and iodine green. Alter his
death arsenic was found in his whole
si stem, and samples Magenta, obtained
from various color merchants in Vienna
were analyzed, and ouly one found to
be free from arsenic. It is said that
fatal doses of arsenic mav be absorbed
through the skin by wearing even neck
ribbons of Magenta, but this is probably
au exaggeration.
Mr. J ami en claims for photography
special advantages over optical observa
tion in physical astronomy, especially
with regard to the constitution of the

aud no superposition be produced, the
true relations of the luminous intensity

the luminous action Is short, the photo
graphic spectrum is reduced to a very
narrow baud near U.
A Steamboat engineer has invented a
rotary boiler broom for cleaning boilers

Went off Like a Lamb.
There was a time when It was consid
ered justifiable and human to hurry a
little the departure of afflicted friends,
suffering from utterly hopeless maladies
like hydrophobia, consumption and
black-jaundice. Now-a-days a morbid
philanthrophy has decided against a
practice once adopted by the best of
people, from the best of motives; but 1
for one no more doubt the benevolence
than the resolution and enerev of a
certain Yankee dame, who was one ol

good minister called again to find the
looking-glass and tbe picture of the
Washington family veiled in white
muslin, the village dressmaker cu'ting
up bombazine, and the good wife weep
ing. Then ensued a conversation like
unto this:
"Has our beloved brother departed
this life?"
' Tes; husband's dead and laid out."
'Ah! he is then at rest! Did he suffer
much, sister, toward the last?"
"Awful!" he went out of bis head.

DOMESTIC.
Car op Hands. Ladies who do their
own house-work are apt, if they do not
wear gloves, to have coarse hands. 11
they happen to dip them Into water,
thev do not take time enough to dry
them well before going on with their
work. To wipe the hands perfectly dry,
after their being Immersed in water, is
imperatively necessary, ir they wish
their hands to look white. To keep the
hands from chapping in cold, use
mixture of glycerine, one ounce ; sperm
aceti, two drachms; olive oil, two
ounces. Mix together with the aid of
heat. Apply this every night, and. If
time will admit or It, every morning.
In winter, do not wash them In cold or
hot water. It should be just blood
warm, and no more nor less. Dj not
fo out of doors with them uncovered,
n summer, use cold water, unless the
hands perspire very much, as the hands
of some people do. These should use
tepid water. In warm weather, a good
preparation for tiie bands, is this: Take
half an ounce of powdered alum and
two eggs, and mix together. Then add
enough bran to make it into a thick
paste. Apply this once a day, after
washing, aud, after rubbing the hands
well together, for a few minutes, wipe
off with a wet towel. This will give
them a solt, brilliant hue, and check
any undue amount of perspiration.
What is called cream of roses is also an
excelleut preparation for the hands
either in winter or summer. It is made
as follows, unless yon prefer to pur
chase it at a dollar a bottle:
Take compound tincture of benzoin,
half an ounce; almond aud malaga oil,
of each an ounce; attar of roses, live
drops; honey two ounces; and enough
rose water to make the mixture measure
six ounces. Apply as cfieu as you like.
Duied Apple Roll. Make a nice
dough as lor dumplings, roll out to one
half inch thick, spread with nice dried
apple sauce, roil it up aud wrap closely
iu a well sealed cloth. Lay it in a
steamer over a kettle of boiling water
and steam from one to one and a half
hours, according to size. Eat with any
si.uce preferred.
For rolls or dumplings I prefer cream
of tartar and soda one teaspoonlul of
soda to two of cream of tartar sifted
into a scant quart of dour. A good rule
for using sour muW or butter milk for
dumplings or biscuits, Is to allow one
halt a teaspoonlul or sou to two cups
of milk. A little practice will soon
teach you to use more or less, as the
milk is more or less sour.
Butter Scoicu. Three pouuds sugar
(the "Cotlee A"), one quarter of a
pound of butter, half teaspoonlul cream
ol tartar, eight drops extract ot lemon,
orange, or a little wintergreen. Add
enough cold water to dissolve the sugar.
Boil without stirring till it brenks
readily when dropped In cold. Theu
add the leni-.n, orange, or whatever is
best liked lor 11 ivor, and pour a quarter
of an inch thick iuto a we!l-buttereJ
pan. When partly cold cross off into
squares. If pulled when nearly cold
this is the ice cream camly.
Motc from tub Eyk. Take a horse
hair and double it, leaving a loop. If
tbe mote can be seen, lay the loop over
it, close the eye, and the mote will come
out as the hair is withdrawn. If the
irritating object cannot be seen, raise
the lid ol the eye as far as possible, and
place the loop in it as far as you can,
close the eye and roll the ball around a
few times, theu draw out the hair; the
substance which caused so much paiu
will be sure to come witu IU This
method Is practiced by axe-makers aud
other workers in steel.
Wild Ducks. Pare a fresh lemon
very caretully, without breaking the
thin white skin, put it inside a wild
duck and keep it there for forty-eight
hours, and all of the fishy taste so uis-
agr eable iu wild fowls will be removed.
Ihe lemon should be removed aud a
fresh one put in its place as often as
every twelve Iiours. A lcniuu thus pre
pared will absord unpleasant flavors
irom almost all meat and game.
Ginger Nits. One cup of brown
SHgar, one ol uio.ases, oue of boiling
water, iu which a heaping teaspoonlul
of soda has been dissolved, the bulk of
an egg in beef drippings, -or butter, a
lablespoonful of good ginger, a nutmeg.
yolks of two egs, and llour to make a
stiff batter, which may be dropped with
a spoon on to a tin. Caraways are better
than nutmeg for those who like them.
Usino a Cut Ham. Make a nice
stulhug ol finely crumbled bread, season
with pepper and celery seed, and heat
it with a small bi: of butter. Fill the
open space in the ham with this dress
ing, making it look like a whole ham.
Smooth over the surface and heat iu the
oven slowly, theu bake half an hour.
Then cover with grated bread, sprinkle
over a little sugar, brown aud serve.

molasses, two cups boiling water, ball
cup melted butter, half cup vinegar,
two tablespoon cinnamon, teaspoon

The CIothee-Llne.
Come, uow, what infernal barbarity
is this leaving a clothes-line out after
dark ! A great deal of funny comment
lias been made upon the custom by
thoughtless people, but it is a most se
rious matter, and it is high time the
tomfoolery was abolished. We are just
as ready as anybody to see the funny
side of anything, but we have ceased to
see anything amusing in being unex
pectedly sawed across the neck, or
rasped across the face by a clothes-line.
It is time that there was a legislative
enactment either to hang clothes-lines
sixty feet above the earth, or make leav
ing them out after nightfall a States'
prison offense. It is a most incompre
hensible fact that a clothes-line is al
ways hung across the garden path. If
the yard was ten miles square and a
path two feet wide crept crept along
close to the fence, and the woman had
but eight feet of line, she would man
age to cover the path. Whether this is
because she is perverse, or cannot help
it, we do not know. We only that it Is
so, aid that it is an appalling evil. No
home circle is safe where this custom
prevails. It matters uot how good ua
tured a man is, it matters not bow care
fully he has been educated, it matters
not how lofty and noble are his aspira
tions the moment a clothes-line catch
es him under the chin, especially if lie
has a pan of ashes in his arms, that mo
ment he sinks with awful velocity to
the level of the brute, and proceeds to
act out the conditions thereof at once. In
its proper place a clothes-line is a valu
able companion, but across a path after
dark it is simply a brutalizing force.

HUMOROUS.
Why Buak was DasPONDrwr. It
was noticed that Bijah wore a confused
look as his Honor came In, and the
cause was soon explained. The court
sat down, nulled out the lower left
hand drawer of his desk, and lookidg
straight at the old janitor, he said :
"Mr. Jor. this court used to eat
apples. This court loves the juicy fruit
the biir. smooth Baldwins the hard
Steele Reds the tender-skinned Bell
flowers. Whv did this court cease to
bring apples here, Mr. Joy ?"
"He got cloyed, inebbe," slowly re
plied Bijah.
"And mebbe he didn't sir ! No, sir
be discovered that a certain party-
mind you, a certain party was hawk
ing on every apple accidentally left
over! That' why, sir! Now, when I
left this court twenty-four hours ago I
left behind me In this drawer the fol
lowing delicacies, to-wit:
4 Malta dates.
2 figs.
18 chestnuts.'
20 peanuts.
2 hunks of molasses candy.
"I can now discover only three or
four peanuts and a part of a box of boot
blacking. Mr. Joy, can you explain t"
"Do I look zil I'd steal Maltese
dates?" demanded Bijah.
His Honor looked down on him with
sadness, sternness, pity and determina
tion all mixed up, and finally reached
for his papers, and said :
"If 1 leave poisoned fruit in this
drawer, and a certain man with bit;
feet and a bald head is round dead across
a chair, the coroner's jury mustn't
blame me!'
Bijah involuntarily clasped his hands
across his body as lie went in for the
first prisoner, and hi eyes had a startled
look.
Tuc inventive genius of man con
tinues to excite our admiration. Some
fellow has brought out a stove which,
he says, will "bake, broil, fry, roast
do all the cooking, in fact, tor four cents
a day." The stove is certainly a great
desideratum; but why didu't the in
ventor, while he was about it, get up a
stove that would make the beds, carry
up the coal, split the wood, do the
marketing, wash aud iron, and darn
stockings at an expeuse of about eight
cents per day? It seems to us that
thousands of people would gladly pur
chase such a stove; but no doubt there
would have been found a person here
and there who would refuse to buy be
cause it wouldn t shovel snow on tne
front pavement, kick book agents off
the stoop, spank the children, stone the
neigh bor's chickens out of the back yard,
and furnish the mouey lor marketing.
Thk ordinary incidents of life some
times take a theological turn. When a
lady was half way up the Rigi she aiked
tbe conductor what would happen if
one of the cogs of the track should give
way. He replied that there was a brake
at the forward end of the car. She
magined that tbe brake itself might
give way, and asked what would be the
consequence then. The conductor as
sured tier that mere would be no danger
even iu that extremity, for there was
another brake at the rear eud of the car.
But," the persisted, "supjiose that
should give wav, too, where would we
go iu that case?" The conductor, who
was a Lutheran of the old school, re
plied, "Madame, iu that case it would
depend entirely ou how you have been
brought up."
As old Lady from the country slept
one night away in the house of a friend
in town. Her bed happened to be a
plain hard mattress, so rauch recom
mended as more healthy to lie upon
than a bed of down. Next morning the
old lady was asked how she slept over
night. "No very well, was the reply.
"lor my auld banes are sair wi' that
hard bed o' yours." "Oh, but Janet,
do you not know that ail the grent
physicians say that it is more he.slthy
to sleep on beds as hard as a board?"
replied the host. "On, ay," said Janet,
"au' 1 suppose that's what you toon
bodies ca a Hoard o Health.
"No, I cas't pay you!" exclaimed
he; "sure' 1 tuna here, I haveu't got
a cent of money to my name." And
bringing down his hand ou the side of
nis leg by way of emphasis, he all un
intentionally awoke to the echo the
slumbering dimes, quarters and halt
dollars in his trowsers pocket. Then
as his creditor gazed into his eye, he
wildly tied, while he gasped, "silver
will be the ruin of this country yet."
"Do you know," remarked a rather
fast Newark youth the other day to a
stuttering friend to whom lie was
slightly indebted, you kuow that I
inteud to marry and setae down? ' "1
ao-uon t Know anything about it, was
the reply, "bu-but 1 think you had
better stay single aud set-settle up."
Dickens Lawyers.
Mr. J aggers himself is one of Dickens'
most felicitous, characterizations in the
law department of what we have ctlled
Dickens-land. It is astonishing that
his limited experience as a reporter and
as an appreutice in an attorney's office
should have furnished him with so
many sharply-defined types of the
English lawyer, through all the grades
of the profession, from Sampson Brass,
in The Old Curioitj Shop, all the way
up to the bland Lord Chancellor who
figures so gracefully iu BUak Uoute. He
introduces several lawyers into his vari
ous romances, and shows a superficial
knowledge, at least, of the jargon which
distinguishes their language from the
English language, and of the moral
qualities which distinguish their legal
nature from ordinary human nature;
but he also discriminates clearly between
the different classes into which the pro
fession is divided, and, while preserv
ing the general features of each class,
sharply individualizes every person in
cluded in it that is, every person who
seems deserving of a place in his gallery
of original characters. Thu Strvver
in A Tal of Two Cities, belongs, like
Jaggcrs, to a class of domineering legal
bullies, and they might, upon a super
ficial observation, be considered as
pretty much alike; but, as represented
by Dickens, they are far apart in in
dividual character, and cannot be con
founded by any reader whose imagina
tion has once been stamped with the
image of either. The variation conies
in great part from the fact that the idea,
purpose, and atmosphere of the two
romances are widely different. Stryver
comes Into A Tale of Two Cities, chiefly
as the advocate of an honest man accused
of high treason. Jaggers comes into
(rreai SxpecUitions as the legal centre of
a story which is saturated with crime,
a story where the criminal or worthless
charmers are in the majority, and
where the innocent persons are all in
volved in a mesh of contradictions,
arising from low villainies, of which
tiey are the victims. The offenses iu
the one romance are political; technical
crimes which are universally kuown to
be often the highest expression of noble
virtues. In the other the crimes are
such as all civilized mankind repudiates.
and the perpetrators of whieti are per
sons who can be saved from death or
transportation only by the interposition
of such lawyers as Mr. Jaggers, exert
ing their force and ferocity, their
ingenuity and knowledge of technical
forms, on behalf of the criminal'!
"legal rights."
A Cleveland Traveler's Experiewcw la
meewin Car.
The occupants ofa sleeping coach going
from the Forest City to Chicago reeeui
l were favored with the usual sleep-
;,.. Minleville entertainment. The
performer were few in number, but
made up in quality what tncy lacaeu i
ouantitv. The array of talent was un-
.omr'.oulv brilliant. No programmes
were distributed. This caused no 111-
feelin" among the auditors, for there
wa4 not a person tliat had the faintest
desire to acquaint himself with the
,.. nf an v of the troupe. The first
number upon the programme was a ten
or ballad, eutitled "Awake all ye that
slumbereth," executed byayouug man
considerably under three years of age,
The first notes brought every individu
al but oue in the car ta their full senses.
The one exception was a middle-aged
gentleman who had retired with his
boots on. He slept sweetly on, as
thniiTh nothiiiL' had happened. If the
train had plunged down an embank
ment 300 feet deep he would not have
turned oyer. An empty brand flask
at his side explaiued the whole matter.
At the conclusion of the ballad, the
youngster was the recipient of numer
ous encores, consisting of groan and
curses. The next was an instrumental
number, given by a canine occupying
the rear portion of the car. The dog
was presented with a variety of fath
er medals in the shape of boots and
shoes of all qualities and sizes, from
the rough cowhides of a Verinout Gran
ger to the dainty little No. 3's belong
ing to a Euclid avenue belle. The dog

public for some tim to come, as it will
Like him some little while to gather bis
deas of music together. Number three
upon the programme consisted of a an
instrumental solo, performed on that
sweetest of musical instruments, a hu
man nose, by a geutlou.an of sixty, who
has the reputation from the Atlaulic to
the Pacific of the "champion sleeping-
car snrrist. A nearly luncn. parta
ken of by him before retiring, enabled
him to enter into the spirit of the affair
with unusual zest. After this followed
a very taking duet between a young
baby ami its mother, entitled "Spit for
Spat." The former's voice was render
ed quite soothing by frequent doses of
syrup. The mother, being in a very
unhappy frame of mind about that
time, could not do herself justice in the
singing line; her actions spoke louder
than words, however. Ihe last num
ber upon the programme was a chorus
of male and female voices, all under
two years of age. They warbled " Uni
ted We Stand, Divided We Fall." Their
hearers were also favored with one
verse of "Who Cares for Mother Now ?"
They were accompanied in their vocal
exercise by an old lady suffering with
the asthma. When the last notes bad
passed through the ventilator at the
top of the car, every passenger vowed
eternal vengeance toward the musical
art, and dropped to sleep, one by one,
only to dream of railway smashups ex
press car robberies, three card moute
ludi viduals, and other pleasing subjects
Animated Barometers.
The Sacramento (Cal.) Bee attirms
that while the barometers of the instru
ment-makers have repeatedly failed
in that city this winter, Sacramento
has two natural barometers which are
always reliable. One of them is a cat
fish which Henry Lcinberger keeps in a
water-trough at his house. No matter
how clear the weather may be, Mid lie
fore the barometers have indicated a
change, this fish, always before a
storm, makes it a point to swim about
with his head below the water and his
tail above, which latter he keeps flop
ping until rain commences to fall,
when he goes ont of sight until the
weather changes. The other is a couple
of frogs under the floor of the police
office, which have never yet been see
by any of the officers, but they presage
a storm several hours in advance of the
barometrical indications, by a series of
peculiarly discordant croaks, and no
matter how clear and bright the night.
:he police-officers make it a point to
prepare, in the matter of clothing, be
fore going on their beats, for a storm,
if the frogs are croaking when the night
warcn goes on amy. Anu they have
never yet been disappointed by the
warning notes of the amphibious ani
mals.
