Wo hnd livcii iu tlic habit of buying our New Ycar'ii turkey in America, and in comparison the price, in West Kiel Lon don sccutcd .imply extortlonate. A. Colonel Seller. *ayt» about hog., turkey, were jewelry. A Londoner til way. carrfe. home hi. turkey because the fact of hi. being able to buy one sort of establishes hi. financial credit for the coming year. Il i. a good rating by a com mercial agency. However tve thought the regular dealers wore trying to impose on our American greenness, anti so my wife kaid: “You go to Smithlicld Market and buy a turkey." “My dear,” I replied, "the martyr, it-ctl to go to Smillilleld, but this mar tyr don't go. Marketing cornea within the province of a ‘woman', .pear,’ as lb t-y llobbot used to say." Nevertheless I had to go, although I protested that I did not know a young turkey from one of the prehistoric variety. ••I know, l rapoiuiiaiua, "inm after trying my best to pick out h young turkey I will get one ho tough that none of the fmnily cun eat it.” ••Well, In that exso try to get a tough turkey niijl you will bring home a nice one. It's a poor rule that won’t work Isith ways.” After six that evening I went along the crowded Strand, down Fleet street, Ludgatc Hill, along Farrington street, under the O’burn Viaduct bridge, and turning to the right speedily found the great building called Kmithticld Mar ket. ThU market place looks some what like the main building of an ex position, but on the last day of the year, large as it was, it was so crowded that a man had some* difficulty In squeezing through. The* whole place was s Idar.e of light anil a liabcl of found. The blessed company of mar tyrs hung in tempting array at every •tall, prepared for the lire, and thou sands of people were pressing forward to get to the steak. So far it was very like any other large market, hut the Smithtield butchers had a way of rush ing sales that is peculiar to I^indon. At each -tall was a man with a great envelope of an apron covering him all but Ills head, lie held in Ills baud a long knife nnd a steel for sharpening It. Every now and then he would clash these terrible weapons together rapidly a dozen times or sound shout at the top of hi* voice: “Buy! Buy! Buy!” lie never seemed to do any thing hut clash and shout. Busy as sistants did the cutting. The roar of conversation, the shout* of the dash ers. and the good-natured, pushing, jostling crowd, all made up an experi ence that would he ditlleiiB to forget. Not content witli loudly inviting cus tom, some of the venders got lip on the stands and aiirtionod off the fowls. “Now, then, now, then, now. then,’ cried the one in front of me, us he took his place on tho counter above the struggling mass. “Now, then, now, then." Ho seized a plump dressed goose by tho legs and swung it up be fore the crowd. “Now, then; now’s the time and ’era’s the spot. ’Ere's the werry spot. I know you’ve lieen waiting for me and ’ore I am. ’Ere’s the spot whero ye gets yer goose for less than the cost of a pickin’ on ’em. Cos wyP Wy, our ’ouse is a feather ’ouse. IIV don’t go for to make profits on tho birds; our profits is in tbo feath ers. Wo’vo picked this ’ere goose and we’ll sell the feathers and give away the birds. Hut I know ye. You’ro in do| endent -you are. Tom don’t want nothlnk fur nothink. Yon sez, se* you, give us a fair price, Podgcrs, and we takes tho goose. Now who sez ten shillin’ fur tills prime young goose; not a better inliuliSmlthflcld, if I do say it. Thcro’s two men now a tramplin' in ncrccnt children under foot to get here and get this goose fur ton shillin'. Cawn't sell it to both on yo; first man's money takes it. Ten shillin’ do I hear. Then nine and six. NoP Nine shillin’ and take it. Do I hear eight and sixP Eight and six for the lincst. tondcrost, Jncleat, plumpest goose in Smithfield Market to-nigHt. Yes, I’ll give It away for eight shlllln’s. Don’t break down tho stall a nullin’. Who’ll ’avo It for throe ’alf crowns, seven sliilUu's and slxpcnoe for this ’oro goose. Makelt the even seven shlllin’s and take it w ith you. I’m glad this ’ere goose isn t alive to ’oar itself sold for six and sixpence. Who takos it for the even sixP Thank you, air; took a little w'ile to futch you, but I knew you’d cornu. Stop around to our bank ing ’ouse just in the rear and pay your money to the cashier, and 'ero’s wish in’ yrr a ’.nupy Now Year. 'And ns tip another goose, John. I thought I sold the finest goose to tho goose—beg panting, to the gentleman just gone, hut 'ore’s the pick of tho lot.” And tiius he went on rattling off n continuous stroam of talk as fluently a* an auctioneer. At every drop down in the price lie would alnp the goose with the broad palm of Ids linnd with a report that sounded through tho hull and tlion he would tuako a gesture as if be would throw tho bird away. “Now, thou, now, then, ’ore's a goose as i.i a goose. Ah, arn’t she a beauty? Now. Yankee, waft do ye reckon this ’eru goose is worth, ehf J guess.” Tills was to mo and tho orowd lau, ;hid at tho rstined wit and the ex e-.J;led nasal twang; *• ,,<W« get ’em for two shillings In America," I said. This simple statement seemed to take tho vociferous auctioneer aback somewhat, and after that the whole re sources of his “h"-less vocabulary were turned on me. •*‘Ow much docs tho Yankee offer for this 'ere goose? Wot a pair they would make! Wot’ll ye give for tho goose, Yuiiki “1 want a turkey.” “Oh, my eye! 'E wants n turkey, ’o docs. John, ’ore's a London million- I uire as wants a turkey, (loose nrn't i good enough for 'itn, goose nrn’t,” and I thus 1 caught it until 1 was glad to re treat. 1 bought ray turkey at a less crowd ed stand down a somewhat secluded I lane away from the main thoroughfare I of Smlthlbhl Market, for tho market | —liko London itself—lion numerous queer little side streets, lanes and al leys. “ 'Ato an 'timper, sir?" said the man. when I paid him. •*A svliat?" "An ’ninper to carry 'ouio your tur key-only a penny, sir." And with this lie produced i hamper with a couple of handles that was cer tainly very cheap at tho price. And thus the hamper, the turkey aud my self went home to spend New Year's Day.—Lute Sharp, in IKtroil Free Prut. __ COMMON ERRORS. lllumlrr* In Nprrrli Msilr l»jr Eilitralrd People. A few out of many mistakes In speech matte frequently by educated people iu well a* hr those from whom one ex pect* little in the way of grammatical acoimiey are tiui following uken from Matthew*’ “Words: Their U*es and Abuse*:” “Directly" for as soon a*. “Directly In . ai*o-, 1 Mi ne away With him.” “Equally a* well” for equally well. Example: “It will do equally a* well.” “Look* beautifully.” In *pito of the frequency with which thi* impro priety lias been censured, one hear* it almost daily from the lips of educated men and women. The error arise* from confounding “look” In the »en*o of to direct tho nyc, and look in tho sense of to seem, to apjiear. We qual ify what a jHirson dot* by the adverb: what a person is, or seems to be, by an :ulj.‘olive. Example—"She look* cold ly on him:” “»hc look* cold.” “Myself” for "I.” Mm. .fours and myself will lie happy to dim* with you. "Quantity” for number. Example— “A quantity of books." In speak of a collection or ma**. it i* proper to use “quantify"; but in speaking of individual object*, however many, wo must use the word number. “A quantity o! meat,” or “a quantity of Iron,” i* good En glish. but not “a quantity of buuk notes”. “Stopping.” for staying. “The Hon. John Jones is stopping at the Sher man House." In rending such n statement ns thi* we are tempted to ask: When will Mr. Jones stop stopping? The true mean ing of the word "stop” was well un derstood by a man who did not invite his professed friend to visit him: “If you come at any time within ten miles of my house, Just stop.” “Rendition” for rendering. Exam ple: "Mr. Booth’s rendition of Ham let was admirable,” “Rendition” means surrender, giving up, relinquish ing to another; ns when we speak of the rendition of a beleaguered town to the besieger, or of a pledge upon the satisfaction of a debt. “Except” for unless. Example: “No « no, except he ha* served an appren ticeship, need apply.” “Try and” for try to. Example: “Try and do it.” “People” for persons. “Many poo plo think so.” Better, jienioni; people mentis a body of persons regarded col lectively—a nation. “Raising tho rent" for increasing the rent. A landlord notified his tenant that he would raise tho rent- “Thank you,” was the reply; “I find It very hard to raise it myself.” "Waa” for Is. “Two young inen.” aays Swift, “have made a discovery that there was a God.” That there “was" a God? When? This year, or last year, or ages ago? All’general truths should bo expressed by the oso of verbs in tho present tense. ■ ^ • m 11 Family Olaclpllne.

Why, my love, what can you mean?" said Gldaker, quickly, wi*h oyoa Hk® exclamation points on a pester. “I mean that-it would bo so Jolly tqi hk^o a chanoe like that now." i tv '^LUe whut,'toy Gear?” 1 “To Join the plcnld.” “Picnic?" “Yes, picnic, and ono that would last forty years, too, at that Wouldn’t it bo delightful?” “I fail to grasp your moaning, my dear." “I mean that 1 would Uko to have a chance in that sort of n barbecue my self. It would just suit mo to a T, and if another Moses would only como to Chicago and give us a chance to go through Lake Michigan and camp around in Canada for forty year*, and have as nice n time of it all that while os they did on the other side of Jordan, I tell you, hubby, I’d drop into the pro* cession just too quick, and if I didn't have a sealskin coat and a stem-wind ing watch to take along with me it would i>e because I couldn't l*orrow them in tho block before I started.

I'm say In, you dear old blockhead, that comping in tiie wilderness with no housework to do would suit me about as well as any thing I know of. No sweeping and scrubbing; no house-cleaning, carpet* shaking or wearing out knuckle* on a washboard; no piuuhing to uinkc both ends meets, and worrying about tilings you can't afford. If that wouldn’t bo nice, hubby, tell me something tlmt would. No going distracted when you have company unexpectedly and your girl has gono away. No cooking, no dish-woshiug or anything to rnnko you get up early In the morning. Think how nice it would bo to sleep until you got your nap out, nnd then find your breakfast all ready and waiting for you on a bush when you get up; not ouly now and then, but right along for a steady thing every morning for forty yours.

That would bo downright dreadful, as sure as you live.

APOPLEXY. Hymptftma and Treatment of tAU Terrible Affliction. Apoplexy aiguilles stroke or shook. Tho eanse, induced by mental excite ment, muscular exertion or Intemper cuee, U bleeding iusido the skull, amounting to drops or pounds, and oc curring in ono side of the brain. Tho hemorrhage is duo to brittleness or softening of small arteries. They break, and hence the sudden attack. Overfull ness of the superticia! brain vessel, or sudden plugging of a small artery, nro causes. The pressure created stops the circulation of tho whole brain. Attacks rarely give warning, though ringing in the ears and Hushing may precede. Tho full onset may tako a few seconds or a half hour. Bymptamr. Confusion, flushing, llvidity, or per haps pallor of the face; paralysis of half tho faoo and half the body on the ojtporite side; snoring, delirium, vomit ing, unconsciousness, more or less pro found. Movements, If any, are con fined to ono side. Will may be ex erted though Intellect be gone. The lips puff; the pulse Is slow, hard*, full; tho pupils are contracted or dilated, and usually unlike. These symptoms last miuutes, hours or days. If stupor nontinuo ten hours without improve ment, and especially if Increased, the attack Is probably fatal It may be so In a few minutes, hours or sevoral days. Under twenty ycorn apoplexy Is rare, and liability diminishes after seventy. Seme suppose that a short neck and full habit predispose to iL Statistics prove the oontrary. An attack Is gen erally repeated, the third commonly being fatal. Recovery requires months. Do not mistake apoplexy for intoxloa tion. Cases of supposed drunkenness are often lookod np and afterward fonnd dead. Distinguish Intoxication by* the odor of the breath, general hab its, dilated, symmetrical pupils, soft, feeble pulse, absence of snoring. Sign* of drunkenness usually can be forced from the inebriate. In apoplexy the temperature la normal or raised. In drunkenness it U lowered. In opium poisoning tho pntlent can generally be roused for a moment. The pupil* arc very small and symmetrical. Kidney disease, which causes unconsciousness, is usually known already. In fainting there is a cold, white face and no pulse. In case of apoplexy, send for the doo tor. Keep the bond cool and raised. Apply mustard plaster* to the legs, back ami stomach, alternately. Giro injections of oil and warm water and strong purgatives, after tho attack. Shorten or shave off tho hair. A very itrong man, under tifty. might be bled. —qongrHoUfitu&t'... "royal COW^.'

Every town of any or dinary fixe owns its especial oldest in habitant. lie or she, as the case may Ik*, is the bir Oracle or the Miss or Mrs. Oracle of the day. The oldest inhabi tant divides the honor with the oldest Arc engine in the State. The oldest lire engine can not speak, for which a long-suffering people offer up thunk*. But the oldest inhabitant has a thou sand tonguos; ami each tongue has a several tongue from whose diverging tongue other tongues spring up In cloao proximity swearing eternal constancy to the talcs uttered by this multidim istio tongue of the much-advcrtiscd oldest inhabitant. 1 cliug to tho oldest , inhabitant with that tenacity of purpose known only to the knight of the ejnlll. The oldest inhabitant always remem bers about Washington’s crossing the Delaware. If the oldest inhabitant be a woman, she always tells you about how she brained there several redskins with a meat axo as they crawled, one and respectively, through the hole their hatchets had carved in the door. It tho oldest inhabitant bo a man, ho always recalls that little incident of having bceu captured by St. Leger and carried to Canada after the battle of Ariskany. Ho always brains the sleeping redskin and returns to the haunts of his child hood. In this day of genuine, actual wants the oldest Inhabitant is gradually assuming tho guise a la myth. Yet, I am told, tho oldest inhabitant is being daily born. I pity future generations. —Bt. Louis Whip, » ■■ — Velocity Of Gunshot Both sportsmen snd scientists will bs interested in some experiments made by Mr. Alfred M. Moyer on the velocity of shot disoharged from fowling pises*- The guns used wero twelve and ten gauge of the choke bore pat tern with rebounding locks. For the benefit of those unversed it must bs stated that the ten gauge gun has the larger bore.
