He years editor of. The -ithenowm, the leading weekly literary published In London. aud was educated at Westminster and at Trinity Hall Cambridge. He succeeded to the principal, ownership of The Atheneum, and was for many years editor thereof. He was one of the earliest promoters of the Great Exhibition of 1851, and ucted as a leading member of the executive committee. When rewards were conferred upon ¥arious members of that body for their services, Diike was offered the honor of thood, Vices to be purely honorary. uringing the Hortieultural Society of London to the prosperous condition it has enjoyed for many Queen Victoria, appointed him one of the yal co} with the im- portant duty of organizing the London Exhibi- | fon of 1862.

He has also written sey- eral pamphlets, and doubtless numerous articles in the dAthenwum.

Mary Johnson's Two Husbands, Reaypearance of a Shipwrecked Mariger After a coer Decade Among the Savages. Tustice Lane’s court turn: out an interesting case. Twenty years ago John Carter and Mary Jobnson were married in Philadelphia, John was a sailor, not unfreqtent!y shipped for yoy- ages to india andJapan. ‘The couple lived hap- vily ten years.

The belief of many and the theory of his an- tagonists has been firm that the plaintiff is in | fact Arthur Orton, a man once a butcher at Wapping. In truth, nearly all opinious concur that if is not Tichborne | > must be Orton. ‘The *- baronet or buteher” auernative is sus- tained by ‘plausible cireumstances. On the night of his arrival in London the claimant was known to have gone to Wapping and to have corresponded aiterward with Orton's sisters. The awkward conjecture is supported by other | circumstantial evidence. There have been sev- eral times when it has seemed that the identi- fication of the plaintiff with Orton be conclusively established. But now it” is = his counsel will play a crushing trump. This is nothing less than the production of the real Orton himself, who, it is predicted, will be broyght forward at the proper moment to over- throW opposition. Yet the adverse lawyers are not unprepared even for this. Suppose an at- should he be leged m appears, wh; real Orton? There may be dit culty in establishing borne is an_im- Ais identity. If the alleged Tic poster, it is not impossible to conceive of his claims being backed up by another imposter. It is known that agents have ‘ing with great energy in Australia in the in! -rest of both sides in this action, and we shall doubtiess speedily get decisive accounts of .he result. Pending this it may be useful to give » brief outline of the situation. The case for the claimant is substantially as follows:—He is asserted to be the eldest son of Sir J.F.D. Tich- borse, tenth baronet of Tichborne. The latter was youngest of three brothers, and the others died before him. He subsequently married in 18%. Roger was born January 5, 1829. A second son, Alfred, was born, who married in 186i, and died in 1866. Alfred left a posthumous son, and it is in his interest that the present suit is defended. Roger, the true elder son, had rather eccentric and habits. He fell in love with his cousin, and was refased by her. ‘Then be got drunk and swore to leave home for- ever. He did go off to South America, and wan- dered about there in a reckless fashion, corres- nding at spasmodic intervals with friends in England At last he made his way to Rio Janeiro, where, being quite tipsy at the time, he went on boatd an outward bound ship called the Bella. The Bella went dewn, as was supposed, with every soul on board. But the claimant says that whoever else went down, he did not. He alleges that he escaped in a boat, and was picked up by an American vessel which took him (Melbourne. ils opponents say this isa sheer fabrication. If it is, what the claimant knows of the drowned man he person- ates has been gained and worked up with aston- ishing skill. It is true that he could not on the former cross-examination name one book that he had read with his tutor, Chatillon, and that he knew no more of the Greek and’ Latin ot which the truc Roger had at least a smattering than he does of quadratic equations. But the true Koger when he went away left a seal package with Mr. Gosford, the family steward, which was not to be opened unless certain events oceurred; and the claimant named the tents of that package—never having ba¢ chance whatever of access to detail. Besides this, the affidavits of his mother. Lady ‘Lichborne, ot Mr. Hopkins, the family solicitor, And of two other persons, all attesting under oath the identity of the claimant with the lo These witnesses are dead, but James McCann, Sir Roger's servant when he was in the car- bineers, Calonel Norbury, the commander of the | regiment, and a number of other officers, pri- Fale, and tradesmen who supplied uniforms, helmets, &e., are alive, and their testimony ix the same as that of the others. To rebut this powerful array of proof, in addition to the claims Ant’s astounding ignorance of various matters With which he should be familiar, other wit- nesses as positive as thase who swear to his iden- tity make oath against it. Such Is substantially the condition of this strange trial. The attention it attracts is uviver- al, and itis said there never has been a law Lon the issue of which so much money was at stake in the form of bets. ‘The main prizes at issue are splendid ones. Not only an ancient baronetey and an exalted social position go to the winner, but noble estates in Hampshire and give the means to support distinctions.

This requires attention, or fowls will not keep fat and healthy. | As soon as the fowl is sufficiently tatted it must be killed; otherwise it will still not get fat, but will lose flesh. If fowls are in’ for the market, of course they are or may be all fatted | atonce; but if for home consumption, it is bet. ter to put them up at such intervals as will suit the time when they will be uired for the table. When the time arrives for killing, whether they are meant for market or otherwise, they should be fasted for 12 or 15 hours. This enables them tobe kept for some time after being killed, even in hot weather. A SINGULAR Scene —A singular scene trans- pired in the New York Su ’s Court recent- yin the hearing of the Belden will case.

No cause is assigne | Belden's desertion of bis family. Novet DANGER SiGNAL8.—Men are now en- gaged in erecting novel danger signals at every bridge and tunnel onthe Hudson River Raif- road, to warn brakemen, who are compelled at times to run along on the tops of trains, of their near approach to such dangerous places. A pole is erected by the side of the track, and an arm projects trom it at the top, over the track. From this arm hangs a wire fringe, low enough to strike a brakeman on the front piece of cap or against the face if he is standi up ae the train passes. This perceptibly notifies him that he is only one hundred feet from the bridge | or tunnel, and must lie down atonce. The blow intticted by the fringe is momentarily a stinging one, but produces no evil results.—Syracuse | Standard. | STEAMED PoTarTors.— Potatoes are much more nutritious and palatable if they are prop- erly steamed than they are botled. Wash them | clean and place them in a steamer over boiling water. Ifthe potatoes are of good quality, the secret of having them mealy and palatable is in steaming them very rapidly, as without a rapid condensation of steam and detention of steam in the steamer by a close lid, the potatoes will be hard and appear not to be done, however long they have heen cooking. They should steam a fork will seaily pon. etrate the centre. If not to be brought table soon they should continue to steam until wanted, as steamed veeome solid much sooner than boiled ones do. | CATALOGUE SALE. $130,000 WORTH oF UNREDEEMED PLEDGES FOR SALE BY WH.
