GENERAL BREVITIES.
William D«laji*t, one of Tennyson's
immortalized six hundred at lialaklava,
lives in Portland, Me.
In the village of Sheridan, Oregon, they

out the seats and using the floor tor a cro-
quet ground.
Amono recent applicants for charity
turkeys In Boston, was a woman who kept
boarders, and a man with diamond studs
who wanted "one for his brother."
Bdwaxd Alfred Wakrbn, of the Brit-
ish Museum, has just died. Although
only thirty-eight, he had been twenty
years tn the Museum, employed on the
catalogue.
London has a "practical instructor in
pearance, and other accessories of the sort,
A traveler hi Russia speaks of the
serfs as seeming hopelessly Ignorant.
Their faces have a vacant look; many of
those in cities have no homes, but sleep
wherever they can find a resting-place,
and gobalf clad.
A party of gentlemen went, a few days
ago, on a hunting expedition to the hills
in the southern part of Kentucky, on the
banks of theCumberland River, and killed,
between Monday and Thursday, twenty-
one deer, in addition to,maklng large bags
of quail. •
Mr. W. H. Gurnky, a lawyer at Buffalo,
N. V., has been awarded $1,500 in a suit
against the Brie Hallway for forcibly eject-
ing him (Gurney) from their cars between
Forestville ana Periysburg. The case
will probably be appealed by the railroad
company,
A series of experiments has lately been
made by the Russian Government with
reference to the use of electricity for the
head-light of locomotives, a battery of
forty-eight elements making every thing
distinct on the railway track to a distance
of over 1,300 feet.
Colonsl Charles Carey Long, an
American in the employ of the Khealve,
was attacked, while on an expedition, by
four hundred armed men, and with only
two soldier* he resisted the attack of the
entire troop, and Inflicted on it a loss of
nighty-two men; at least, that Is what the
Egyptian Minister of War says in his offi-
cial report.
Peters, a hotel-keeper of Annville,
Lebanon Ceunty, Pa., gave himself up to
the Sheriff recently, alter the last of sev-
eral attempts at committing suicide, and
confessed to having murdered his first
wife sixteen years ago. Her body was
found in the hotel barn with the skull
broken, and it was thought that she hütl
baen kicked by a horse.
A farmer iu Oregon recently butchered
a cow In whose stomach were found a
large quantity of buttons. There were
many large brass ones, which led some of
the neighbors to Infer that she had eaten
a policeman at some period of her exist-
ence, while a large collection of white but-
tons was almost proof positive that, the
animal had been In the habit of robbing
clothes lines.
In England a clergyman had had the
small-pox, but was " so as to be about,"
and Invited a friend to breakfast. His
friend caught the malady and* dftmmunl-
Sted it to ni* wife, whp died. Thereupon
e Mend sudd the parson for inviting him
to breakfast, and recovered damages in £1
and the amount of the funeral expenses.
If Is estimated that the damages done
to sheep by worthless curs in the State of
Ohio amounted to $160,000 aunually for
the last ten years, which makes a startling
aggregate for the period named. Add to
this the cost of food for the dogs, and we
have a pretty sum. With the hope of re-
ducing the number of mongrels, It is pro
posed to place a tax upon all dogs owned
In the State.
An elevator company of Toledo, Ohio,
use no other fyiel for their steam engines
than corn-cobs. Immense loads of corn
on the ear are shipped to them daily and
shelled by machinery. It Is said that this
fuel Is better fbr their purposes than coal.
On the prairies of Illinois when the price
of corn is very low the farmer uses for
lUel cobs, corn and all.
Guizot' aheirs have discontinued the suit
which was the last expression of Guizot's
f>ride. His idea was that neither himself
nor his family should be Indebted to the
Empire, which ho hated.. One of hU fam-
ily wat thus Indebted, and liad accepted
assistance from the Emperor, and the suit
wag that the Emporoni heirs should be
compelled to accept repayment from Gui-
zot. In this material time It is rare to see
a suit maintained on one side to compel
the acceptance of $10,000 and on the other
upholding the right to refuse the sum.
In Kansas and Colorado parties ot men
make handsome suras of money by gath-
ering the hide* and bones ot the sluln buf-
falo and havillng them to market. It Is
estimated that the shipments of hides for
the doting year over the Atchison, To-
peka and Manta Fe Railroad, and the Kan-
tat Pacific, will aggregate ' 125,000
skins. When we take into consideration
that thete hides represent only'a portion
of the animals killed In the groat West
every year, the question quickly suggests
itself. Hew long will it be before the buf-
falo it rendered extinct? It is sfid to re-
' fleet that the majority or the anljnals are
killed In wantonness, and their flesh is
left to rot on the Plaint.
Amono objects of interest lately received
at the National Museum In Washington
and oblong-tongue-shaped, acute, two or
three Inches In length, and so much re-
semble many of the so-called lance and
arrow-heads in collections, that itbecoines
necessary to modify our views as to the
latter articles. The handles aro three to
five inches long, and a notch half an inch
deep at one end receives the stone, which
Is held In place by a tough pitch melted
Into the silt and around the Jolfit, sinew
being sometimes wrapped round in addi-
tion.
The whole number of Signal Service
sUiloas In the United States appears to be
1S5, to which are to be added five In the
Hudson Bay Territory, established with
the assistance of the Hudson Bay Cora-

stations In Hudson Bay Territory, there
are others at Brockvllle, Ottawa and Stay-
ner, In Ontario; at Charlotte-town. Prince
Edward Island; Father Point, Quebec;
and at Sydney, Cape Breton. There are
also some twenty river stations in the Mis-
sissippi Valley fbr the purpose of record-
ing tne varying height of the water. The
total force connected with the service at
present Is composed of 247 sergeants,
corporals and privates. The entire num-
ber of sheets of publications for the year,
consisting of maps, bulletins, different
kinds of press reporte, weekly and month-
y geather chronicles, etc., amounted to
After Twenty Tears.
The Chicago Journal of a recent date
says: "Mrs. Eliza Brookbank, who re-
sides on Western Avenue,is to-day, owing
to a recent surprise of a singular nature,
one of the happiest mortals in this great
city. The Chicago directory states that
the lady in question is the widow of Abram
M. Brookbank, and when this informa-
tion was given the canvasser it was furn-
ished In good faith. When that publica-
tion was compiled Mrs. Brookbank had
not seen or heard of her husband for
twenty years, and it was by no means
strange that she should have considered
herself entitled to a widow's weeds. The
story is a strange one. Twenty-one years
£0 the Brookbanks were residents of
'rlnceton, Bureau County; In this State;
The husband bad previously visited the
Pacific slope, and finding it a difficult mat-
ter to amass riches in the Illinois village,
determined to once more return to the
land of gold. At the time of his depar-
ture the traveler vowed never to return
East unless he did so as a rich man. Dur-
ing the first few months of his absence the.
exile sent several hundred dollars to his
wife, but the remittances suddenly ceased,
and all inquiries as to his whereabouts
remained unanswered. Not the slightest
clue could be obtained as to whether
ha was alive or dead, and as year
after year went by without any tidings
from the missing one, his wife was forced
to believe that her husband occupied an
unknown grave In the far West. He was
mourned nineteen years dead. Less than
a year ago a friend of the family, who was
about starting on a journey to California,
was comiojssioped to institute a fresh
search for the' absentee or his grave.
Every possible effort was made by the
gentleman to secure some information
that would lighten the hearts of the East-
ern relatives. He was about giving up in
despair when it accidentally came to his
knowledge that a man named Brookbank
was the proprietor of two silver mines In
Arizona. The clue was followed up, and
the mutual friend felt so convinced that
the lost had been found that the good
news was at once forwarded to the ex-
pectant wife. Two letters have, during
the last few days, 'been received from Mr.
Brookbank, aud their contents would de-
note that his vow hqd been kepi sacred,
as, in addition to the silver mines, he is
possessed of other valuable property, and
Is, in the vernacular of the Sierras, 'heeled
away back.' Mrs. Brookbank's happiness
was complete yesterday on receiving a
telegram uated San Francisco, and stating
that her husband was en route to the
home of his younger days."
A Plea for Privacy at Weddings.
As the semi-annual bridal season is at
hand, it is the time to plead for a reform in
weddings. Every year this sacredest of
all occasions is turned more and more into
a mere opportunity for'display and for re-
plying to some fancied social obligation.
Instead of the place and time when a few
of the closest friends'gather to witness the
solemnest compact liuman beings can
frame, it is chosen as the moment for
bringing together the larger part of the
family's social circle, to show the bride in
her bridal gat ments; to prove how many
flowers anu refreshments the family can
afford; and, with shame be It said, to ex-
hibit to criticism and light comment the
precious tokens that should have come
with tender regard to the maid on the eve
of her new life.
A wedding must not be uncheerful; but
It must certSnly be solemn to all who re-
alize what it is. On the one side, it is re-
nouncing old ties, promising to begin with
faith anu hope ana love, a new and wholly
untried existence. On the other, it is the
acceptance of a sacred trust, the covenant
to order life anew in such ways as shall
make the happiness of two instead of one.
Can such an occasion be fitting for revel-
ry? Is it not wiser, more delicate, to bid
only the nearest of friends to a marriage
ceremony, and leave the feasting and frol-
ic for a subsequent time? We are sure
there arc few girls who, if they reflect on
the seriousness of tile step they are about
to take, will not choose to make their vow
within the loving limits of their home cir-
cle. All our best instincts point to the
absolute simplicity and privacy of wed-
ding services; only perversion of delicacy
could contemplate tne asking of crowds of
half sympathetic or wholly curious people
to attend the fulfillment of the most sol-
emn of contracts. Let there be.at much
party-making, rejoicing and pleasure-tak-
ing afterwards as hearts desire: but let
the solemn vows be made in the presence
only of those nearest and dearest—Serib-

HOME INTERESTS.
Eoos Dressed Spanish Fashion.—In a
frying-pan toss a slice of rich bacon for
the sake of the fat It will render; take
away the bacon; mix a teaspoonful of
honey with the bacon fat; break into it a
dozen new-laid eggi, and do them slowly;
take them up with a skimmer, place them
in a dish, and almost musk them with
pickled red and green capsicums, sliced.
Fried Oysters are delicious but indi-
gestible, and will therefore seldom be
brought to table by those who value the
health of their family. Select the very
largest and finest oysters for this purpose.
Have ready a skillet of boiling lard. Dip
your oysters, one at a time, in beaten yelk
of egg, then in grated bread crumbs;
lastly, in sifted meal, and then drop irtto
the lard. Turn, and allow them to be-
come only slightly browned. Drain upon
a sieve, and send to table hot.

Frosting—Beat whites of eggs to a stiff
froth. Add sugar, and beat it in well.
Put in lemon juice,and stir again. When
the pie is baked and cold, add frosting and
put plates in oven long enough to make
frosting a good brown color.
Portslade Apple Podding.—Pare and
core half 3 dozen good apples and boil
them in as little water as will cook them;
reduce the fruit to a pulp, add the juice of
one lemon and about a quarter of its
grated rind, and half a teaspoonful of
fresli powdered ginger. Next make a
mixture of 4 well beaten eggs with a J of
a pound of butter, warmed to fluidity, and
6 ounces of bread crumbs; moist sugar
to taste—say 4 ounces—and a good dash of
nutmeg. Lastly, blend all together, and
put into a dish which has been buttered,

bake for one hour. To serve, turn out of
the dish and dust with white sugar.
Chowder.—Fresh lake or river fish,
four slices of pork, potatoes, onions, six
or eight hard crackers, milk, flour, salt,
pepper. Put the pork into a frying-pan.
Fry It out; then take the dry pieces and

over them. Sprinkle it with salt, pepper
and flour. Then add a layer of cut pota-
toes and 3 or 4 slices of onions; then
another layer of fish, and so on. Cover
with cold water. Put the kettle oil the

let it boil 20 minutes. About 5 minutes
before it is done dip the hard crackers in
cold water and lay them on the top. Just
as it is taken from the fire add a little
milk.

L'he Washington correspondent ot the
New York World has been describing some
the notable members of Congress. The
following Is the manner in which he brings
in Alexander II. Stephens :
" Who is that man?" asked a stranger of
a hack-driver, before the National Hotel,
when Stephens came down the steps.
"That'ere man," said the driver with .
undisguised rancor, " is a fraud. We've
counted on a job at his funeral for six
years, antt he keeps a livin' on and livin'
on, and dunno bnt wot he's agoin' to live
for evor." That was before the war; and
the hackmcn are still waiting. Marvelous
little body it is I How can so frail a frame
hold so vigorous a mind? He wears a
black skull-cap; gloves that hang in rags
on his sunken fingers. When he tries to
speak books are piled up around him to
Erevent him from falling down. Hit voice
i feeble and thin. There is no life In any
member but his eyes.
HAND IN HAND.
The path of true lovo, is It clear
And easy to be í o unci y
Lvadu it to wiltlerneases drear,
Or into gftrileu-ground?
In winter's cold and Bummor's heat
I only know 'tis mvpot
When we care naught for weather,
Yon and I together,
To wander nand in hand
Into Love's laud.
Who would not love? Though cynics say
That all the world grows old,
That hearts so passiohat to-day
To-morrow may be cold,
Oh, never heed the biting tongue;
I only know we're ^>ung,
And that with love untiring,
The one thing worth desiring,
We wander hand in hand
Into Love's land.

Dr. K. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.: Dear
Sir—It is with a happy heart that I pen these
lines to acknowledge that you and your Gold-
en Medical Discovery and Purgative Pellets
are blessings to the World. These medicines
cannot be too highly praised, for they hjve
almost brought me out of the grave. Three
months ago! was broken out with large ul-
cers and sores on my body, limbs and face. I
procured your Golden Medical Discovery and
Purgative" Pellets, and have taken six bottles,
and to-day I am in eond health, all those ugly
ulcers having healed and left my skin in a
natural, healthy condition. I thought at one
time I could not be cured. Although I can
but poorly
there' '
God's blessing rest on you and your
ful medicines Is the humble prayer of
Yours truly,
James O. Bellis.
When a medicine will promptly cure sucli
terrible eating ulcers ana free the blood otthe
virulent poison causing them, who can longer
doubt its wonderful virtuw? Dr. Pierce,
however, does not wish to place his Golden
Medical Discovery in the catalogue of quack
patent nostrums by recommending it to cure
every disease, nor does he so recommend it;
but what he does claim is this, that there is
but one form of blood disease that it will not
cure, and that disease is cancer. He does not
recommend his Discovery for that disease.yet
he knows it to be the most searching blood
cleanser yet discovered, and that it will free
the blood and system of all other known blood
poisons, be they animal, vegetable or mineral.
The Golden Discovery is warranted by hiip
to cure the worst farms of Skin Diseases, as
all forms of Blotches, Pimples and Eruptions,
also all Glandular Swellings, and the worst
form of Scrofulous and Ulcerated Sores of
Neck, Legs or other parts, and all Scrofulous
Diseases of the Bones, as White Swellings,
Fever Sores, Hip Joint and Spinal Diseases,
all of which belong to Scrofulous diseases.
There is No Death.—If it be true that
Nature abhors a vacuum, it is equally trud
that the Great Creator abhors death ar.d
glories In lift. There is really no such
thing as death—the term is a misnomer,
used to designate the changes which occur
in life. Life, eternal life, Is created by the
laws of Almighty will-power, which are
as immutable iu their application as is the
existence of the Creator Himself, When
Ood made life, He made everything neoes-
sary to f ustain it, but left it for man's pro-
gressive intelligence to discover, convert
and utilize. Good medicine is to the ailing
physique what good fuel is to the expiring
flame; the better t e fuel the quicker the
fire—the better the medicine, the quicker
comes relief from pain. California Vin-
egar Bitters is life s elixir for old or
young. Use this medicine properly and
you will live to a good old ge without
those physical ailments which make sev-
enty years a burden.
