At the next stage a bargain was struck. The Sweeps were liberated and dismissed with a gratuity, the seats shaken and brushed; the sons of the university made up, among themselves the expenses of the postchaise; the young doctor violated, for once, the rules of hy- giene, by taking a middle seat; and all journey- €d on together without turther quarreling or grumbling. except from coachee, who declared that ‘‘to be kept over time a minute and a half atone stage and only three seconds less than three minutes at the next was enough to. try the patience of a saint; that it was!" —At/an- huineo eee InstRANce IN CHICAGO—The Chicago ‘Times says: An important movement in on icot among many of the leading merchants and Capitalicts of this city, for securing relief from the present exorbitant insurance rates char, by the companies that are members of the Chi- cago board of underwriters.

They are generally Butritious and palatable soup when coo’. alone. Like beans they must be cooked a long time. It is wellto put them soaking in warm water at night. In the morning drain off the water and cover them with a good deal of fresh water, as they absorb a great quantity while = and cooking. Cook them slowly the whole forenoon; and if the peas are good they will be entirely broken up when the soup is done. Season it with salt, also with cream or milk and butter. I have seen peas which it seemed im- possible to cook, and peas that had a flavor of all sorts of barn fodder; but good peas are mach liked in our family. The most common mistake in cooking them is not giving them time enough. If I cooked them with beef-soup I should give them much more time than the recipe-books say, for peas that, so to speak, have ‘‘dissolved” in cooking are far better than those mashed through a colander. Drip Peas.—Any peas (minus insects) well cured are good for making soup. Wash them, soak them, and cook them the same as split peas. These, however, should be strained to free the soup from the skins. Split peas have had the skins removed by machinery, which, of course, caused them to split. Peartep Bariey.—This makes an excel- lent thickening for a meat soup, as you would use rice, only you must cook two or three hours. It is good boiled alone and eaten with sweeten- ed cream. Boil it about three hours. Roast Dvck.—Wild duck often has a strong flavor when cooked which is very disagreeable to many. Marion Harland speaks of i “fishy flavor,” and says it may be remed P oiling the dressed duck with a raw carrot or anonion inside. The onion imparts some flavor, and should not be used unless there is onion in the dressing. A more impor- tant point is to remove the oil-sacs from the back of the fowl. A very important point (with al! poultry, and indeed with allanimal food) the removal of the entrail. A very nice way to stuff and roast a duck is the following: For @ moderata-sized duck take three potatoes, a quarter of a good sized onion chopped very fine, half a tea-spoon each of summer savory and majoram, a table: spoonful of butter, and 4 little pepper and salt. Put it, with a piece of butter, in the drpping-pan in the oven, and baste with the butter once in every ten minutes.

IrnvstRtaL.—The Philadelphia Ledger of Monday says, speaking of the Baldwin locomo- tive works: There are 100 men at present employed in the boiler department, which is 250 less than the number employed before the panic. The fore- man states that —_— cases of suffering have been found among discharged workmen. Thir- teen hundred men were employed last weck at the works on three-quarter time. This week they will work on half time, but itis stated the old. Young person need little exhortation to exercise, since, by nature, motion is their chief desire, but they stand in need of advice and woderation, since. as they do everything mod- erately, 80 they are accustomed to take too much exercise, and of an improper character, a course of proceeding not without danger. On the contrary, with older men, the increasing weight of the body and the loss of the so-called “animal spirits," induces the desire of repose, wd they need an increase of exercise beyond thatwhich inclination enjoirsen them. Thus they are brought within the province of the gymnastic code. It has been said that nature is an all-sufficient guide in this respect. This is true of our Eve rational nature, but not of mere individual inclination, to which the apo- ‘thegm is more frequently applied. Children, who by reason of the tenderness of their age are incapable of reason, live indeed a to nature, but rather to that of brutes than o! min. This element of superiority which we porsess over the rest of the inanimate creation tellg, or was intended to tell, men of advanced years, if they would but listen to it, that exer- cise is nece: to the:r increased age, since the natural heat of the body then becomes weaker, and it is less able to el itself of those super- fluities,which, by gathering and resting therein, canse, at first, considerable inconvenience, at the last, decay and dissolution.—Cornkill Maga- zane. Russta.—In a letter toa friend United States Minister Jewell gives government is of its kind perfection and clock- work itself. The emperor is a man of brains, force and progress, and I think has areal love for his people. They certainly appear very fond of him, all classes. He appoints the council, senate and conrts, and these make and execute the laws. His displeasure is not a pleasant thing to ingur. e people may be no more honest than ours, but exposure is too risky. So the shells are never filled with sand nor do the troops run. The most werful man here after the emperor is Tripoff, chiet of po- | lice—a man of -wonderful executive ability—al- Ways at a fire, a row or a parade. He ts always just behind the emperor when out, and says who may come and who may go, and who shall be tried too, I think, and perhaps who may be emvieted. He ee runs this city, and does it to perfection. He is accountable to nobody but | theemperor. Tsendto him to get Americans out of scrapes, or out of the country, or to do anything else. All I know is that it is done. His dispatch to the frontier lets anybody in or cut or stops them for examination. He is said to be a very just man, as he certainly is a very active one.
