NOTHING NEW IN H. C. 0.
People of the Long Ago Raiand the
Same Wall, Apparently to At
L.ttle Purpose.
It is always soothing to learn that
ancestors were Licking about the
same things that rile us today. Next
time you are Inclined to believe that
high prices have been sent by the pow
ers above to vex this day and genera
tion alone, just ponder upon these
words written by John F. Watson of
New York city In 1843. under the head
.ag "Changes of Prices," in a book of
his published in 1847:
"It is curious to observe the changes
which have occurred in the course of
years, both in the supply of common
articles sold in the markets and in
some cases in the great augmentation
of pricesfor instance, Mr. Brower,
who has been quite a chronicle to me,
has told me such facts as the follow
ing, viz.:
"He remembered well when abund
ance of the largest Blue Point oysters
could be bought, opened to your hand,
for 2s a 100 such as would now bring
from three to four dollars. Best sea
bass were but 2d a pound, now at 8d.
Sheepbead sold at 9d to Is 3d apiece,
and will now bring $2. Rock fish were
plenty at one Shilling apiece foi good
ones. Shad 3d apiece. They did not
then practice the planting of oysters.
Lobsters were not then brought to
market
"Mr. Jacob Tabelee, who is as old as
8*7, and of course saw earlier times
than the other, has told me a sheep
bead used to be sold at 6d, and the
best oysters at Is a 100. In fact they
did not stop to count them, but gave
them in that proportion and rate by
the bushel. Rock fish at 3d a pound.
Butter 8d to 9d. Beef by the quarter
In winter 3d a pound, by the piece 4d.
Fowls about 9d apiece. Wild fowls in
great abundance. He has bought
twenty pigeons in their season for one
shilling a goose was 2a Oak wood
was abundant at-2s the load.
Thus Mr. Watson of the early nine
teenth century thinks longingly of how
easy It must have been to live when
Brother Tabelee was young. He con
tinues:
"In 1763 the market price of provi
sions was established by law and pub
lished in the Gazette. Wondrous
cheap they were, viz: A cock turkey
4s, a hen turkey 2s 6d, a duck Is, a
quail l%d, a heath hen Is 3d, a teal
6d, wild goose 2s, a brant Is 3d, snipe
Id, oysters 2s a bushel, sheepbead and
sea bass three coppers per pound,
milk per quart 4 coppers, clams 9d a
100, cheese 4%d.
"Those celebrated 'Blue Points*
were destroyed by an intended kind
ness. A law was passed to exempt
thn from continual use, and by not
being continually fished up they got
embedded to Je mud and wholly died
out I"
WAS FOILED BY A VULTURE
Lieut. Etienne Poulet, French filer,
might have beaten Capt Roos Smith
|in the race to Australia had it not
jbeen for a fight with a huge vulture
while flying over the mountain peaks
of Siam near the town of Moulmaln.
The vulture circled for a time over
the aircraft, which was making little
speed because of weather conditions,
then dived straight down, striking and
shattering the right propeller. The
lieutenant searched the mountain tops
for over half an hour before finding
ia suitable place for landing. He had
Ito abandon the race.
Helpless and in the power of
a maddened Beast who won
her in a hand-to-hand fight,
a lovely maiden is saved
from deathand worseby
