LOSSES.
fpon the white sea sand
There sat a pilgrim band,
Telling the losses that thrlr lives had known;
While evening waned away
From bre*zy cliff and bay.
And the strong tides went out wlih weary moan.
One spoke with quivering lip
Of a fine freighted sh.p
With ail Lis household to the deep gone dowr.
Bat one Lad a wilder woe
For a fair lace aVcg ago
Lest in the darker depths of a great town.
There were who mourned their youth
With a most loving ruth.
For is brave 1 opes and memories ever gn on;
And the one upon the west
Tun ed an rye that would notrest.
For tar-off hill* where its joy had been.
ome talked of vanished gold,
Borne of proud honors told,
Some talked of trlends that were their trust no
more;
And one of a green grave.
Beside a foreign ware.
That made him sit so lonely on the shore.
But when their tales were done,
spoke among them one.
A stranger, seeming from ailsortow free.
"Sad losses have ye met,
But mine is heavier yet;
For a believing heart hath gone om me."
“Alas !” these pilgrim • said.
"For the living and the dead—
For fortune’s cruelty, for love’s sure cross,
For the wrecks of land and sea I
But however It came to thee.
Thine, stranger, is life’s last and heaviest loss.”

ROMANCE IN A RAILWAY.
BY .TCSTIN M’CARTKT.
Two young barristers, traveliug from
London to Liverpool, took their seats one
evening in a firm-class carriage of the five
o’clock express at the Easton Square Sta
tion a station known, I venture to think,
to every American who has ever invaded
the old country. There were only two
other seats occupied in the compartment
entered by the two young men. Two la
dies—at least, a lady and her maid—were
the other occupant-. The laay was young
and pale and pretty; the maid was a fresh,
blooming, round-eyed north country girl—
the moment she spoke a word her accent
made it plain to one of the two advocates,
himself from the lakeland of Northern
England, that the girl came from dear old
Cumberland. Two gentlemen, one appa
rently theyoung lady’s father, attended her
to the carriage door, and waited at the door
until the train actually moved off. They
both, especially the one who seemed to
exercise parental authority over the young
lady, kept incessantly casting expectant,
eager, suspicious eyes about the platform,
as if they looked tor or dreaded the arrival
of somebody. These little facts the two
barristers, accustomed to note email things
and construct them into evidence, observ
ed almost unconsciously, end by the shter
force of bub.t.
The older man, whom both the youths
learned in law assumed to be the father of
the departing young lady, at last nodded
significantly to the other, and said, in a
low tone: ‘Tt is all right, Cunningham.
He is not here. Thank Heaven!’’
“He can'c come now,” said the other.
“It would not have mat'ered much even
if he did,” the elder observed. “He should
not have exchanged a word with her - not
one word ! But I’m glad to escape scenes
and fc-ars and contusion tor all that.”
The lady in the carriage had heard noth
ing of this. She sat at the further side of
her compartment. Doubtless what was
said would never have been spoken were
she near enough to hear it. One of our
lawyer friends, however, did hear it—m
tact he could not help himself; be had no
choice but to hear.
I'tie elder of the two speakers had taken
a farewell ot the girl when he put her into
the carriage—that is, he kissed her very
coldly, and said good-by, and added ale w
whispered wurds, which seemed to be
t ometbing n the nature of a caution or a
menace. Now, as the train moved off, he
only nodded a farewo 1 1. He had a formal
ly handsome face, regular, cold, and harsh,
with thin lips and very white teeth.
1 he train then wei ton. and soon whirled
through the pleas >nt suburbs of that side
ot Loudon, and away into thoopen coun
try. Iho young lady seemed very melan
choly and absorbed. Bhe replied grace
-1 filly t ; a few civilities and attentions of
ten il oy the two barristers, but was evi
dently not much inclined to any manner
ol conversation. She exchanged a few
words now and then with her maid, but
f r Ifio most part remained silent.
It was growing to be late in Autumn, and
dusk soon began to come on. The even
ing was soft and beautiful; the face of the
country looked lender and poetic, with
all its autumnal charm and melancholy
grace around it
Oat two friends talked together on many
sn l jects, at tirst in a low tone, then, us
the yonng lady appeared to he asleep, or
wholly absorbed in her own thoughts, they
began to speak a JiUle more freely and
oudly. Son- ( 1 dug or other, perhaps the
gray poetic su luess of the evening, set
Hum talking of the old world ghosts—tlfh
dear, delightful, torturing, hair-lifting,
blood-chilling spectres who need to haunt
our childhood. They actually began tell
intr card other ghost stories, and did rot
observe t ie shuddering terror of the Cum
berland lass, who could hardly sit still in
her si at. so groat was her interest, ex
ciUnu r.t, and superstitious dread.
“1 don’t know,” said one of the two
young mi n, Lewis Rossmore by name,
"why railways sbonld be sn; posed to have
necessarily banished ghosts. I can quite
imagine a ghost making bis appearance in
this very train, for instance.”
"Can yon’” replied Fred Sargent. "I
confess I can’t; but I think you Northmen,
near the Scottish border, have more imug
iiiitiou than we prosaic cockneys.”
At the same time he happened to glance
at the young lady in the corner, and her
pale, saa face soemtd ghostlike enough in
the gray evening light. Sargent thought
tor a moment of the legend of the company
h)io sal one evening telling ghost stories
until at last the turn came to a pale, young
1 oly who had bet n silent ali the time, and
v now, when invite, and to contribute her
share to the entertainment, said, in a low,
toneless voice, ‘‘l have no gbos* story to
tell, but lam a ghost myself!” and so
vanished.
"Yes,” pursued Lewis Rossmore; "lean
easily imagine it; and I think it could be
done with rather fine effect Look here,
Sargent, take a note of this idea, and make
s .methitg of it for one of the magazines.
Two people are traveling alone in a rail
way —the express and have just passed
one of the only stopping-places. Rehold,
as the t ain is rushing at lull speed across
the open country, fifty miles an hour, and
the evening is growing dark, like this, they
suddenly perceive that one of the seats has
an occupant, whose presence was notch
served bet ore — n
"Gtd’s sake don’t yo go on in tbut wav,”
broke in the Cumberland girl, unable*to
contain herself auv longt-r. "Don’t ye go
on. gentlemen; it’s enough to raise a ghost
right i’ (he midst of ns all!”
1 he young men laughed at first, but the
superstitious fear of the poor girl was so
obviously gunine and profound that |
Rossmore discontinued bis goblin inven
tion, and they reassured her and talked
fora few moments of something else. ]
I hi u the train stopped for five minutes at
the only station where it was to make any
halt during the long journey. No one got I
out of the compartment in which our i
friends were, and no one got into it; and
when the train had fairly moved off, and!
cur two friends felt secure against further
disturbances, they settled themselves for |
sleep. Ihe young la.ly appeared to be al- j
ready asleep.
Roth yonng men slept. Suddenly a loud 1
shr.ek caused both to start up and jnb I
their eyes.
It was the Cumberland girl who Lad ;
given the alarm.
"I ’e a ghost ? it’s a cbos r !’’ she cried, j
"That 1 - what comes of your deviltry and
jeni talk you’ve br ia imoog
uj r
The evening 4 had sank into almost com
plete darkness; the one lamp, the highest
luxury in the way of illumination, to which
even & st-class passengers in an English
express are treated, was burning very dim
ly; but it needed little light to see that
there was a filth figure in the carnage—the
figure of a man. There be was assuredly;
a tail, slender man, stooping because ot
the lowness ot the roof, and apparently
about to take his seat, which was vacant,
opposite to that on which the young lady
was seated. Bhe had started up with a
half scream ou hearing her servant's alarm.
but the back of the mysterious intruder
whs turned to her, and she, perhaps, saw
nothing surprising in his presence.
Both the young lawyers, however, saw
something very surprising in it. An Eng
lish railway train cannot possibly be enter
ed by any one after it has moved from the
station. Nor has it any outer platform,or
means of communication, by which pass
engers cam go from one carriage into ano
ther. The carriages open at the sides, end
each first-class coach is a room closed up
and complete in itself. Nobody had enter
ed this compartment when It stopped at
the station; nobody could have entered it
since then; yet, here was a fifth occupant
where only four were present before.
"Hallo ! who are you T' exclaimed Bar
gent
"How did you get in—where the devil
did you come from ?” fiercely demanded
Rossmore.
"It’s a ghost !” sobbed the Cumberland
girl, faithtal to her original hypothesis.
"Don’t be alarmed, gentlemen,’the in
truder very calmly observed. “You have
not a ghost among you; although, if I had
remained under cover a little longer, it is
quite possible you might have had a ghost
in the carriage before the end of your
journey."
But the sound of his voice created anew
agitation. The young lady sprang from
her t...at ami cried out: "Ob, Aarold !my
dear, dear Harold!” and threw herself upon
nis neck, and sobbed and laughed, and
sobbed again. and committed other extrava
gances. to which the intruder lent himself
with great apparent cordiality,giving back
embrace for embrace, and with compound
in ereat.
The Cumberland girls said, "God be
gmd to us—it’s Master Harold himself !”
The two barristers resumed their seats,
and looked on much amazed, but with that
outward calmness which distinguishes your
true Briton under almost all conceivable
circumstances. The intruder, whoever he
might be, was clearly neither ghost nor
robber,
"Ob. Harold !” exclaimed the young la
dy; "how did you come here? Where
did you get in; and what have you come
for?”
"Come for ! W T by, to see you, love, of
course. They thought ibey were quite
safe, I believe, when they saw the train
fairly off, but they were a little mistaken 1
We’ll surprise them a little more yet,
Alice!”
‘ Bat how did you come here, Harold ?”
“Do satisfy our curiosity, sir," Sargent
i interposed. “It really is quite legitimate
I on our pint, seeing that your sudden ap-
I pearance looks very like a fraud upon the
railway company, of which, for aught you
Know, my friend and I may be leading di
rectors—and tncn you are positively accus
ed of being a ghost.”
The young man laughed. “Gentlemen,”
he said, “you shall have a full explana
tion. I Lave been for years engaged to
this young lady. Lately her mother, who
was a widow, thought lit to marry again,
and her new husband, this lady’s step
father —you saw him at the station to-day
—detests me, has poisoned his wile’s mind
against me, and has persuaded her to re
fute her consent to our maniage, of which
she quite approved two years ago—per
haps because we were then too young to
marry. I am going to the West Indies,
and may be absent, Heaven knows how
long; and they had set their hearts upon
preventing me from seeing Alice before I
go. Now 1 bad, very naturally set my
heart on seeing her; and yet I didn’t care
to ask her to do anything directly in oppo
sition to her mother’s commands.”
“Quite right, sir,” said Kossmore, with
a look of infinite solemnity.
“Very commendable indeed,” added Sar
gent, paternally.
“So,” Harold continued, “I found that
she was being sent back to the country to
day, in order to get her quickly out of my
way—and my course was clear.”
“Don’t see it yet, ’ murmured Sargent.
“Don’t you see it ? I came to Euston
Station, took a ticket to Liverpool—so you
perceive there is no question ot fraud on
the company-used audacious efforts in
the way ot bribery, and thus induced the
guard, first to allow me to bide under the
seat, and next to manage so that the young
lady, whose photograph I showed' him
should be conducted into this particular
carriage. Gentlemen, this was done—and,
in short, here lam.”
“Lucky that you were not smothered,”
said Sargent.
“Or shut as a robber, on emerging from
your hiding-place,” said Rossmore.
“Dear Harold,how you must have suffer
ed,” Alice whispered, Ha pressed her band
tenderly.
“Why did you not come out before?”
she asked.
Harold smiled. “Blame these gentle
men for that,” he said. “They will not be
offended if I say that I thought them just
a little de trap; and I fancied, from some
thing they said, they were about to get out
at the etati-'ii we have just passed, and so
I waited. But when 1 found they were
coming the whole way, i saw it was useless
waiting any longer, and came out, and
nearly frightened poor Polly there” (the
servant) “out of her senses.”
“Very sorry we should have bten in
your way, sir." said Sargent. “But it may
interest you to know that 1 am the very
profoundest sleeper who ever traveled m a
train, and that I feel terribly sleepy al
ready."
“And I,” said Kossmore, “can hardly
keep my eyes open.”
So the discreet barristers at once turned
round in their seats, coiled themselves up,
closed their eyes, and were apparently
buried in slumber deep enough for the
Emperor Barbarossa or the bleeping Beau
ty in her immortal wood.
Then Harold sat beside Alice, and took
her hand in bis; and the rervant, Polly,
seemed to follow the example of her 1-gal
traveling companions, and sank into sleep,
bo \lice and Harold talked and talked,
ami were happy. About to part, apparent
ly, lor jears, yet they were happy in the
present Surely tnat is one ot the most
txecUent and exquisite properties of love
—exquisite in its delight and in its pain
that it never looks beyond the present
hour, but finds happiness now in a mo
mentary meeting, though the agony of a
long parting threatens near at hand—
agony now in a momentary parting, al
though the hope of a speedy reunion may
smile and offer consolation
These two then wore happy for the hour.
Hut the whole journey trom London to
Liverpool by express is only some five
hours’ affiir; and two hours had been
wasted before our adventnreous lover
emerged from his concealment. So the
prospect ot Liverpool and separation be
gan to look very threatening and imminent;
and Har. id. dreading and detesting the
thought of such a parting, began to nrge a
wild proposal. Why should they not
escape at Liverpool, take the first train in
the morning-only a very few hoars t©
wait—and go on to Scotland and be married
there? Then let the family do its worst;
and Harold would not go to the West
Indies, but would push a career at
home. Or, even if be had to go, he
would at least leave behind him a
wedded wife, whom no ill-conditioned step
lather could take irom him. “Be my wite
—come and be my wife—that first; that at
all hazards !” So rang the refrain of the
passionate outpouring which for nearly an
hour Harold kept whispering in Alice’s
ear.
Ice girl had spirit enough, and was not
unwilling to yield. Indeed, there were few
risks life could offer which she was not
ready to encounter rather than go back to
the dreary and odious home life, with
Harold far away. Now she was being
sent, as she perfectly well knew, to the ;
custody, the mere cu.-tody, of an uncle and
aunt in Liverpool, in order that she might
be kept onto!' the way until Harold should
have left London and gone out to the Ws‘.
Indies, where he bad relatives, and where
he uoped fo make a fortune.
"But, Harloddear,” the girl whispered,
"the thing is impossible. My uncle will"
be at the Station waiting for me with the
carriage. Do you think he would be likely
to fail into our plans ?”
"No, Alice; I have thought ot that. If
you have courage—and I know you have—
and are very, very quick, we can escape and
defy him. Now listen, and don’t be afraid.
Just before we get to Liverpool, the tram
enters a tunnel, and inside the mouth of tho
tunnel vre stop for a minute— a bare mo
ment—to make sure that all is clear. I will
have the door open, and I will take you in
my arms and get out: it will be perfectly
easy and safe; and Polly shall follow with
out one instant of delay. Then we hold
our breaths, and stand in the darkness
close up to the tunnel wall for only a mo
ment, until the train rushes by; and then
we get quietly out, take to the road, and
get a carriage at the nearest inn, and drive
to any station on the line, where we can
wait for the Scottish mail. Your undo will
only suppose that you have put off coming
for a day; he will grumble and wait for to
morrow without doing or even suspecting
anything, and then it will be too late.”
"If we .re killed—”
"Dearest, do yon think I would expose
you to any danger?”
"No, Harold, it was not that. I was ou
iy going to say that it we are killed—l
mean even if we are killed—we shall be
killed together!”
Harold embraces his intrepid and des
perate fiancee, and the plan was resolved
on, A few whispered words conveyed the
whole to stout-hearted Polly, who had a
romantic heart, and would have gone with
these lovers any where—leaped with them
out of an express train flying at full speed
rather than desert thorn. The moments
went by; the tunnel was near; the two
young barriters had long since been fast
asleep in good reality; Harold softly open
ed the door, and stood close to it with
Alice in his arms; the faithful Polly loaded
herself with such ot her mistress’s cloaks
and shawls and things as she could attempt
to carry; the train began already to slacken
its speed; they were at the mouth of the
tunnel; Harold said, iu a whisper, "Now
love!” And Alice shut her eyes, and
pressed her face against his shoulder.
The train rattled and crashed through
the echoing tunnel. The hollow, hideous
reverberations aroused our sleeping barris
ters. Sargent started up, and rubbed his
eyes.
"Hallo, Rofesmore, Ibis is the Edgehill
Tunnel! We shall be iu Liverpool in a
moment. Shake old boy?”
"All right,” replied Rossmore, yawning.
"Glad we’re in. But I say, Sargent, look
here—why—did we stop anywhere?”
• ‘Of cov :se not. Why do you ask ?”
"Then where are our fellow-travelers? ’
"Good Heavens ! To be sure, where are
they ? I forgot all them. But they
were here—that’s certain; and we stopped
at no station, and now they are gone !”
"Confound it, 1 nev r knew any thing
like that! That man, Harold, whoever he
was, came in mysteriously, and now he
has gone oat even more mysteriously, and
spirited awav the two women along with
him!"
"I say, Rossmore, how if your sugges
tion of this evening should have turned out
a prediction? Have we had ghosts incur
railway train?"
Both laughed—both were incredulous—
an i tho train rushed into the crowded,
bustling, blazing station at Liverpool. Our
friends spoke to the guard of the train, who
was much amazed at first to hear of the
disappearance of the three passengers; tut
he seemed to think that, in the case of so
audacious a lover as Harold Rivers, any
thing was possible; and then, there was a
momentary stoppage in the tunnel
So the barristers made no further inqui
ries, but took it lor granted that all was
right somehow, and went to their hotel.
They heard the end of the story, how
ever, even before they returned to LoTidon,
for they met Harold Rivers and his young
wife in Liverpool ten days after. The pair
had just returned trom Scotland, where
they were married. They had, of course,
written off at once to Alice’s mother, an
nouncing ‘heir marriage, and they were in
good hope that she would soon accept the
situation. They could afford to wait a
little, for they were married and happy,
and Harold had mad up Ids mind that he
would not go to the "W. si Indies.

The lively melodramatic vein of the
French character is continually breaking
out in unexpected places; the worries of
war serve occasionally as the s imber
background for tableaux vivants which to
u wear a semi-ludicrous air. A ather
stagey incident is elaborated in Orl aus

of wounded sweetheart and devote nurse
with a talent for beef-tea and tears. Read:
A graceful!, beautiful peasant girl oi 17

A Country Without Hretabtcks.
The Overland Monthly tells how the
Mormons manage to get along without
greenbacks:
Hundreds of farmers, living in reasona
bly comfortable circumstances, and having
large families to clothe and educate, will
not see a dollar in money for years. Such
a farmer wishes to purchase a pair of
shces for his wife. He consults the shoe
maker, who avers his willingness to furnish
the same for one load of wood. He has
no wood, but sells a calf for a quantity ot
adobes, the adobes for an order on the mer
chant, payable in goods, and the order lor
a lead ot wood, and straightway the ma
tron is shod. Seven watermelons purchas
ed a ticket of admission to the theatre. He
pays for the tuition of his children seventy
fi\e cabbages per quarter. The dressmak
er receives for her services four squashes
per day. He settles his church dues in
sorghum molasses. Two loads of pump
kins pay his annud subscription to the
newspaper. He buys a “Treaties on Ce
lesial Marriage” for a load of gravel, and a
bottle of soothing simp for ihe baby for a
bushel of string beans. In this primitive
method, until the advent of the railroad,
nine-tenths of the business of the Territory
was conducted. And even now in the
more remote settlements, a majority of all
transactions are of this character.

The Relic of the tar.
Recently a torpedo boat was discovered
in Charleston harbor, and it has a history.
She was built in 1864 of boiler iron, and
impervious to water or air. Her extreme
length was about thirty feet, with five or
six feet beam, and about five or six feet
depth of hold. In general contour she re
sembled actgar, sharp at both ends. Sho
was propelled by a screw, the shaft o
which ran horizontally along her ho!s, al
most from stem fo stein, and was turned
by a manual force of eight men, seated
along it on either side. Desiring to use
the dangerous cratt against the Ironsides,
volunteers to mao her were called for, and
Lieut. Payne, a Virginian, and eight sailors
responded They were soon ready for ac
tion; and one evening the last preparation
had been made.
The torpedo was lying alongfide the
steamer from which the crew had em
barked; sho was submerged till the comb
ing of her hatch alone was visible above
the water. Her commander, Payne, was
standing in the hatchway in the act of or
dering her to be cast off, when the swell of
a passing steamer rolled over her and sunk
her instantly, with the eight men, in several
fathoms of water. Lieut. Payne sprang
out of the hatchway as the boat sank from
under him, and he alone was left alive.
In a few days she was raised and again
made ready for service. Again Payne vol
unteered, and eight men with him. The
embarkation for their second attempt was
made from Fort Sumter, and, r.s before, all
having been made ready, Payne, standing
at his post in the hatchway ordered the
hawser to be cast off—when the boat ca-
I reened ano sank instantly. Payne sprang
| out; two of the men followed him; the
! other six w-mt down in the boat and per
ished.
. Again the bolt was raised and made
ready for action and her owner, Caotain
Hundley, took her for an experimental trip
into the Stocc River, where after going
through her nsu.l evolutions, she dived in
deep water, and let hours, r.nd for davs,
the return of poor Hundley and his crew
was watched tor ana looked fur in vain.
Alter near a week’ search she was found
inclining at an angle of farty-five degrees;
her nozzle was driven deep into the soil
mud of the bottom. Her crew ot nine
dead men were standing, sitting, lying
about in her hold asjbyxiaied. Hun lev
was standing dead at kis post, a caudle in
one band, while the other had grown stiff
with death in his vain efforts to unclasp
the hatch. Others had been working at
the keys of the ballast, but the inclination
at which the boat had gone down had
jammed the keys so that the men could
not oast off the heavy weight which held
them dow u. Their death had been hard
and lingering.
Again this fatetul vessel was made ready
for action, and volunteers being called for,
Lieut. Dixon, Twenty-Arid Alabama Vol
unteers, a native of Mobile, and eight men,
volunteered to taka her against the ei ui y.
The new and powerful war ship Hous
atonic was selected for attack, and on a
quiet night, the cre.v sot out from Charles
ton in this terrible, nameless torpedo boat.
We all know the fate of the Housatonic.
Dixon guided the torpedo fairly against
her, the explosion taro up the great war
ship’s sides, so that she went down with
nearly all her crew within two minutes.
The torpedo vessel also disappeared for
evr from mortal view. Whether she went
down with her enemy, or whether she
drifted out to sea to bury her gallant dead,
was never hnown, am th<dr fate was left
till the great day when the st-a shall give
up its dead.
But within a few weeks past divers in
submarine armor have visited t he wreck of
the Housatonic, and they have found the
little torpedo vessel lying by her huge
victim, and within her arc the Lone; of the
crew.
A Beautiful Superstition.
In Poland every individual is supposed
to be born subject to some particular des
tiny or fate, which it is impossible lor him
to avoid. The month of hm nativity has a
mysterious connection with one of the
known precious stouts, and when a person
desires to present the object of his affec
tion with an acceptable pr s.-nt a rug is
invariably given, glittering with a j >wei by
which the fate of thtt object is imagined
to be determined and described. For in
stance, a lady is born in January, i; r ri g
must, therefore, be Jacinth or G-um for
these stones belong to that peculiar month
ot the year, and express “constancy and
fidelity.”
The following is a list of the different
stones, corresponding to each month in
the year:
Jauuary Jacinth or Gar net. Constancy
and fidelity in every engagement.
February—Ametbyit. This month and
stone preserve morUls from strong pas
sions, and insure them peace of mind.
March Blood stone. Courage and suc
cess in dangers and hazardous enterprises.
April-Sapphire and diamond. Re-
I pentance and innocence.
May—Emerald. Success in love.
Jane—Agate. Long life and health.
or Ruby. The forget
fulness of the cure o: evils springing from
friendship or love.
August—Sardonyx, Conjugal felicity.
September—Chrysolite. Preserves irom
or cures folly.
October—Aqua marine or Opal. Mis

; Nowlnre, perhaps, says Prof. Agassiz, ie
j the physical and moral deterioration of
I pure races so clearly shown as in Brazil.
I The hybrid between tae Indian and the
I negro, called cafuzo, has none of the deli
I oacy ol the mulatto; his complex!--m is
j dark, his hair long, wavy and curling and
his character, instead of being fconfldiug,
but indolent is described by Agalssiz as ex
hibiting a happy combination between the
jolly disposition of the negro and the ener
getic, enduring powers of the ludian. ihe
hybrid between tbe white aud half breed is
called mameluco, aud is described as being
pallid, effominat--, feeble, lazy and rather
I obstinate, the Indian influence having
I apparently obliterated the higher charac
teristics of the white, without imparting
its own energies to tbe offspring. Notice
able exceptions to this picture may be
found in the half-breeds of the semi-civil
ized communities of our Southern Indians.
It is very remarkable that the Indian,
crossing with either a negro or a while,
makes a deeper impiCNS cn his progeny
than the other races, and, in accordance
with this fact, it is observed that, iu fur
ther crossings, the pure Indian character
acteri-ffics are resumed and those of the
other races thrown off. “Let any one,”
says Professor Agassiz, “who doubts the
evil of the mixture of races, and is in
clined, from a mistaken philanthropy to
break down all barriers between them,
visit Brazil.”
An Infatuation— No milder name can
be found than this for tbo habit ol climb
ing among the glac.ers of the Alps, to
which English and American travellers,
male and female, are addicted. An English
lady, only two months married, perished
with her guide, by failing into a crevasse
on Mount Blanc on tbe 2d ol August. An
other lady escaped only by the breaking ol
a rope, to which all three were attached.
The husband, who had gone hither to re
connoitre, and who had enjoined on bis
wife to await his return, was recalled by
the cries of the surviving lady, to find that
his wife had passed probably forever from
human recognition. Sniveling with cold,
the ladies had attempted to descend, with
out waiting for the gentleman. Impres
sive funeral services were held at the Eng
lish chapel at Chamounis. We do not
find that in his touching address the chap
lain enjoined upon his hearers to cease a
useless exposure to danger, which, after
past experience, amounts to suicide.

FA KM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Hints to Housel iepers— How to jßhj
food.
Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher, who, like her
husband, knows h f -w to wield a fluent ptu,
gives these practical bits of advice to young
housekeepers:
“ lu buying beef remember that ox-beef
is the best. The animal should be five or
six years old before it is killed if you would
have the best beef If well fed it will be
fine grained; the lean should be a bright
red color, and well mingled with fat. If
there is not a good quality of tat running
through it the beef will be tough, and not
well flavored. The fat should be a rich
clear white, just tinged with yellow,
and firm, and the suet also.
Heifer or cow beef is paler than ox beef,
firmer grained, the fat a clear white, and
the bones smaller, but it is not as rich or
juicy. When the animal is too old, or
badly fed, it is of a dark red. the fat skin
ny and tough, and in very old beef a horny
substance will be found running through
the riba. When it is pressed if the nuat
rises quickly from the finger it is good;
but if ihe finger dent rises slowly, or not
at all. do not buy it; it is poor meat.
The sirloin and the middle ribs are the
best for roasting. If you by a sirloin
have it cut from the “chump end,”
which has a good undercut or fillet.
The rump is often preferred by epioures,
but being too large to roast whole, a roast
is usually cut from what is called the
‘champ end.’ Porter house steak is the
best for broiling, but not the most econom
ical. One rib is too small for baking; it
dries io cooking, and is cot good econo
my cnless you take out the bone, roll the
meat and stuff it, when it makes a nice
dish lor a small family.
Veal should be small and white, the kid
ney well covered with fat. It the calf is
o*er ten weeks old, the meat will be coarse.
The tl sir should be dry and white. If
coarse-grained, moist and clammy, have
nothing to do with it. The fillet, Join' and
ehouidcr are the best for roasting. The
breast, well cut and jointed, makes a flue
stew or pot-pie, and is better economy than
when baked or roasted. Veal is excellent
to make ‘ stock” for soups; the Knuckle or
poorer parts of the neck arc just as good
for soup aa the more expensive parts.
Mutton should be dark colored, and
have plenty of fat. The color determines
the age, and age is considered a mark of
excellence in mntton. It should be five or
six years old to satisfy a lover of mutton.
All the joints mar be roasted; but the sad
dle, and next to that the haunch—the leg
and loin undivided—are the best. Chops
are cut :rom the loin, cutlets from the leg,
the best end of the neck or thick end of the
loin. The leg and neck are often boiled.
L '.rub should be small, pale red and fat.
Best roasted. The leg. whenjthe lamb at
tains a good size, is excellent boiled.
Pork should never be bought except from
a butcher whose honesty you are sura of,
and who knows where the pork was fat
tened. It is not n very healthy meat at
the l est, and none should be used unless
corn-fed. There is much bad or diseased
pork sold, and it is very dangerous food,
it the flesh feels flabby or clammy to the
touch it is not good, and should not, on
a y account, be need. If there are kernels
in the fat, let it alone. The fat should be
hard, the lean white and fin. in the grain,
and the rind thin and smooth.
As soon as your meat of any kind is
brought home from the butcher, wipe it
with a clean, dry cloth. If ia summer you
find any “dy-blows,’' which is very com
mon. cut them out at once, and no barm
will be done. In the loins a long pipe runs
bv the bone; that should be taken
out immediately, or in a few honrs
it will taint and spoil the whole
joint. It the meat is not to be used at
ones dredge it with pepper. Powdered
charcoal dusted over meat will help to
Keep it sweet, or will remove any taint
already begun. It is wise to keep charcoal
on hand during warm weather; it is won
derfully efficacious in preserving meat, and
if dusted over it while hangiug,it can all be
washed off when you are ready to cook it
Most meat is m re tender and easily digest
'd it kept hanging some time, and charcoal
is an it and reliable aid in preserving it.
Lamb and veal cannot bo kept as safely as
beef and mutton.
In choosing turkey ami fowls Lear in
mind that the male bird, if young, will
have a smooth log and a short spur, eyes
bright and full, feet supple. The hen may
be judged by the same signs, and if these
are no: found, be sure the birds are stale
and old.
pucks, geese and pigeons should have
pliable feet; if stiff, they are old. Ju all
ue vent should be firm; if discolored or
dabby, they are stale. This last sign
should bo remembered in judging of all
poultry or game.
'The eyes of fiffi should be bright, the
gills clear red, body stiff aud smell not un
pleasant, or rather, not stale, for we im
agine that fish can never be ol a pleasant
smell, however palatable they may be to
the taffo.
As far as possible buy all stores by the
i quantity; it nothing else, you save the
weight of paper, no small item in tne
course of a year; but theie is always some
reduction when an article is purchased at
| whole sale. You save the retail commis
-1 sion, it nothing more.
How thu Premium heese was Made,—
At the l.de fair of the Kt-nosha County Bo
i cieiy, the first premium on cheese was
i awarded to li. S. Huston, of Pleasant
i Prairie. The following is his statement in
relation to its manufacture; “Thomilk that
is brought in at night is set in the vat to
cool; before adding warm milk the milk in
the vat is skimmed; the milk is then heat
ed to 84 degrees, the cream that has been
taken off' is made limpid by adding water,
either warm or cold, and returned to the vat
| when sufficient rennet isadded to coagulate
the miik in from thirty to forty minutes ;
colored v> • h annetto to a good butter color,
when tin curd n cut crosswise, let it stand
until it - IPs two or three inches below
the surface, then raise carefully and run
up the heit to 90 degress; then cut again
to the size of corn; let it settle; then raise
the heat slowly to 100 degrees; then let it
stand till the acid is sufficiently developed,
which is deternrned by applying a piece
of curd tc a hot iron, when u will draw out
m threads resembling fine silk about an
inch long, then we think it ready for the
press, then drain and salt the curd 2A
pounds to 100 pounds; curd and press 24
hours.’
Our Poor Dairy Season. —From conver
siiion with dairymen at fairs in different
| portions of the northwest, the past season,
is represented by all as a very poor one for
the dairy business. The drought, which
was general during the months when most
milk is expected, was very severe, greatly
lessening the supply of feed and in some
sections producing a scarcity of water. As
a con-equence, the failing off of milk is
variously estimated at from a fourth to a
third of the ordinary amount produced.
But aside from the small amount ol milk
this season there has be n another draw
back. The mid summer months were
extremely hot, and a vast amount of cheese
has been ruined or its value greatly reduc
ed during the caring process. The
late rains have brought up the feed
in pastures; but the cows were dried
to a ureat extent before this change came,
a; and too lata to recover from the drawback
of the earlier portion of tbe season.

TLe use of a mother to a popular actress

The first time I went behind the se mes
| at the Phoenix was in the morning. Unused
I to the place, I stopped at the green-room
; door, wondering if that was where tne re
! hearsal was, and if there I should find the
; manager, with whom I bad business to
transact. Four ladies—elderly, dingy,
and of severe aspect—were wildly gestic
ulating. I supposed it was a scene from
the new piece, and stood observing them.
“How impressive,” thought I, “is the
devotion to art! These women, absorbed
in their characters, forget the existence of
the outside world and do not notice my
presence, absorbed as they are In the
ideal.”
It was at this moment that tne door
keeper touched me, and said:
“The manager is this way, at rehearsal,
sir.”
“Why,” said I, in some surprise, “isn’t
this rehearsal ?”
“No, sir,” said the doorkeeper, with a
smile.
“Who are these ladies f” I asked. “I
thought surely they were acting, they
seemed so earnest.”
Tiia doorkeeper grinned. “Them,” said
he, “is mi's of different ladies in the com
pany, and they going on about their daugh
ters. They almost always does when they
gets together.
It was then, for the first time, that I
