A shriek at intervals told of a cap- tive that had met his doom.

A little wee French midshipman of fourteen lay fearfully injured, but never uttered a sound till a physician of Memphis was about to dress his hurts. Then he said: | “ Can I get well?

A jury of inquest was impanelled, and after due deliberation and inquiry they returned the inevitable American verdict which has been so familiar to our ears all the days of our lives— « Nobody to blame.’” os The New York Tenement House Horro: MYSTERIOUS MUEI A BROTHER AND SISTER.

Ihave had occasion to traverse the city of Boston in the street-cars at least way, which we have Lieve is as inherent in the |: pie tes muse enough to remind one (in one’ with the sad jour of a dying pathos of a failing rose. I affirm that, if women had already their political Tights; if they had thereby made intelligent and effective use of their numerical su) ity in political contests; if they had driven men from active trade; if they had mo- nopolized the pulpit; if they queened it in lit- erature; if they had rivaled and defeated the other sex in science. art, industry; if husbands had long since sewed on’ their own buttons, and fathers, as a rule, had tended sick children, and brothers, for the most part, made the preserves and went to sewing circles, and bloomers were the mode, and Congresswomen in the majority and the rum-shops closed; and if, in short, #li the woes which are prophesied as to follow upon the woman's era were already become familiar facts, the treatment of women by men in public places could scarcely differ from that which they receive to-day. That one may have individually little to com- plain of in such @ matter, only stirs one’s soul to freer (because more candid) expression. [ am +o fortunate as seldom to be obliged to stand in ee conveyance. hetero I receive the offer of a reat trom awoman. As arule, I do not accept one from a man. I do not suggest (be it always understood) that ‘any woman has the ghost of a right to complain that a man does not sacrifice his convenience to her because he isa manand because she is a woman. She has no such right. He is under no such obligation. What I ‘‘rise to explain” issimply that his denial that he is under such obligations is no longer a misty threat but is be- coming a Gxed fact, and this before women h: acquired that position upon the yieldi which he bas made the code of his devotion to their womanhood contingent.

He will don the order of the new knighth while as yet we are taxed to support his colleges and compelled to ‘‘petition ” from him as @ privilege, rather than to vote away from him as a right, the repeal of such laws of his making as that recent enactment known as the shame of St. Louis. Illustrative of some of these thoughts, my offers the following comments on the winter's travel: Pretty, healthy school-girls, well ruftied and humped, perfectly able to stand and perfectly expecting a seat, receive it. ihave ught that, after all. there may be a subtle relic of masculine tenderness tor genuine need in this selection, when one pauses to con- sider the amount of weight carried by these suffering creatures in their panniers, chignons, and kilt-plaiting. I throw this ont as a well- intentioned attempt to be as candid as the cir- cumstances require. Washwomen with bundles stand. Old women, so frequently as to lead one to say, at a venture, generally, are seated by the courtesy of their own sex. ‘A young mother, who always goes down-town with three children and @ bag usually obtains a seat, and usually by the prompt pushing and plotting of another mother, who espiea her a fait a dozen car-lengths ahead A woman with a very little baby in her arms is never allowed to stand by either sex. Anold and feeble gentleman is more likel to yield bis right to a seat than a young ani evergetic one. Little [rish boys will not allow a little lady to stand; but do not offer the courtesy to her ex- pressed gratitude, slipping outside shyly in the dignity and delicacy of unthanked service.

Crrckew SALAD.—This salad is made with a whole chicken or part of it, when it is perfectly cold, and having been either boiled, baked, oF roasied. When cold, the meat is detached from the bones and cut in'small dice; then cat table celery in the same shape, and nearly as mach of it as of chicken; cut also in small pieces a little of lettuce. Mix the three weil togethe add salt, pepper, vinegar, and very little oi iS stir well, and place on a dish ot an oblong shape: give to the mixture the shape of a small mound on the middle of the dish, not quite as wide as the breadth of the dish, and not qmte as long cither, and have it as smooth as possible. Then take a mayonnaise sauce, and by meansofatable kuife spread some of the sauce all over it in a thin layer, just enough to cover the whole salad. When the sance is over it, splita hard-boiled egg in two lengthwise, then again the two halves in two, and again each piece in two, the white side of the ptece being on the table, and commencing to cut on the yolk; yon have then eight pieces ineach egg; cut each piece in two across the middie, put the pieces around the salad, the white part touching it, and the mid- dle part or cut end resting on ‘the dish, each all the shreds of fat, bloody bits, ¢., leaving the inside perfectly clean. Be very careful and not break the gail in taking out the liver—it almost spoils your stuffing, as no amount of washing can remove it from the inside of the turkey. Boil the heart, gizzard, and liver until tender, chop very five, and add to the stuffing, which make of stale bread, if you bave it; if not, of crackers pounded fine. Season with’salt, pepper, sage, and batter. Mix with boiling water, being very carefal not to put in too much, as the beauty of stuffing is to be dry. When right, add one beaten egg. After the turkey is'stuffed, rub it ‘aif over thoroughly with’ salt, under the wings and thighs, that it may be well seasoned when cook- ed, as many are exceeding}y fond of the brown, crisp skin, which is much nicer to be salted be- fore cooking. Bind the wings down with wrap- ping cord. ‘Tie the legs together, and tie them to the body of the bird. I consider it a plan to cnt all the trussing strings half an hoar hefore taking the turkey from the oven, that the heat may reach under the wings and thighs. Lay the turkey upon a cricket in the dripping pan—never upon the pan, as the oily water soaks it and injures the flavor. If no cricket comes with your dripping pan, you can get one made ata tinman’s, or you can letsome of the ‘men folks” make you one of hard wood strips half an inch squere—two, one foot long, and piece of egg touching another; cut thusas many | four, eight inchea long, for cross pieces_—nail egg? as are ni to surround the salad. ther an inch from each end—to used in en cut another egg in two across the mid- | roasting all kinds of meat—must be carefully dle, cut off a little piece from the smaller end of | washed every time and dried. each piece, put those two ends together; Put no water into the dripping pan until the Tun @ small skewer through it, so as to | turkey has cooked long enough to allow the fat keep the two pieces together; scallep the | to drip down and brown upon the bottom of the whole egg all around with a sharp knife; take off aa of the yolk from the top half, so as to make a hollow into it, and then pat into that hollow the centre teaves of a head of let- tuce, after which you put the egg on the middle of the salad. Add a few capers here and there on the leaves, also some all around the salad, and one on the top of each piece of egg. Stone half a dozen olives, and place them on the salad also; then cut red beats, boiled and pickled, in fancy sbapes, and put them on also. Very thin slicesof lemon can be placed all around the borders of the dish, together with petals of roses, pinks, and violets. Pickled cucumbers or any other fruits may also be used to decorate the salad. Lopsrer SALap.—We have os in a pre- ceding number the recipe for boiling lobsters. When the lobster is cooked, cold, and the flesh off the body, cut it im small dice, and mix it with nearly as much table celery, also cut in small pieces; cut a little of lettuce in small pieces, and mix the three together well; then add to the mixture salt, pepper, mustard, vine- gar, and a very little ol]; mix the whole weil, and put itin an oblong dish in the shape of a small mound; spread some mayonnaise sauce all over, as explained above for chicken salad. Finish the salad of lobster the same a8 chicken salad, and serve. Let our readers bear in mind that a mayon- naise sauce must not be exposed to heat, be cause it melts readily, and then gives a bad nce to the salad. As soon as the salad is in asomewhat cool place. it is necessar: to puf the dish on ice or in a cold place until usec—that is, until the time that people will enter the dining-room—when it will be placed on the table. AYONNAISE Savce.—This sauce must be made in a place where the temperature is rather low. It is difficult to make it in hot weather, or hot place. ‘he oll must be rather cool, bat congealed, though. A glass, earthen, or crockery vessel is best to make & mayoanaise sauce, and either a wooden spoon or a pestle; an ordinary kitchen mortar and pestle are very handy for that purpose, both being of white stone or marble. Begin by putting two raw yolks of fresh eggs in a tureen, with a pinch of line salt, one of white pepper, and one of mus- tard, if ed; stir them well on the bottom of the tureen with the spoon or pestle, as if mov- ing the spoon inside of a circle; when well mixed together, take a bottle of sweet oil, cut asmall groove in the cork lengthwise, and let the oi! fall, drop by drop, into the tureen or vessel, stirring continually, as described above. little while the same will become very top pouring oil, but do not stop stirring; add then a few es of lemon juice, whic! inner or more liquid; re- sume pouring oil until it becomes thick again, when do as before—that is, step pouring oil, but pour lemon juice insteal. You continue thus until you have enough sauce. When the Jaice of alemon is used, take vinegar to fin- ish it. that the sauce should turn olly pan. By this means, you obtain th prized brown gravy with less trou usual way of toasting flour for thickening. After you have put water in the pan the towl frequently by dipping it up over it. I dust flour over the top of the turkey and lay on all the fat I have taken from the inside. It elts and rans down and thus keeps the skin from drying too much. Put a turkey weighi ten or twelve pounds into the oven at 8 o’cloc it you dine at the good old fashioned hour of 12; therefore my reason for advising you to get it all ready tostuff the day before, as the morn- ings are short in winter, when we are supposed toeat such things. i ‘When you remove the turkey to the platter, remember to take out the thread used to sew up the bird before roasting, as I have seen the car- ver very much put back by getting his knife tangled in it. After the gravy is thickened «1 cooked, pour it into a bowl, and let the fat rise, and remove every spoonfal of it. Then, if you choose, put it back into the dripping pan and add a bit of butter; I never do, but, after remuving the fat, put itinto the gravy tureen for the table—(S. B. Sawyer, in Country Gentle- man. Fatt or a GyMNast.—Mons. Leotard, the gymnast, who has recently been performing at the theatre in Salt Lake City, Utah, met with an acerdent there on the 13th’ tnst., which the Salt Lake Tribune thus describes: “A crowd of several hundred persons assembled in front of the theatre yesterday afternoon, at 1 o'clock, to witness the ‘performance of Leotard, the gym- nast, who, it was announced, would walk a tight rope extended from the theatre building to the top of a building on the opposite side of Firat South street. At the appointed hour the gym- nast appeared, pole in hand, dressed in tights. avd evilently shivering with cold, as the air was raw and keen. Sixteen guy ropes were at- tached to the main mg, at regular intervals, and were drawn tight by persons in the crowd, instead of being properly fastened to stakes in the ground. Leotard started out from the end of the rope, but had advanced -carcely ten feet, when be slipped and fell for- rd on the rope. He made adesperate but | futile effort to recover his balance, caught the rope between bis feet and hung suspended in mid-air for an instant, head downward, and then dropped upon the frozen pavement below, striking his face upon a wheelbarrow, which was standing beneath. He was picked up in- sensible, with the blood streaming from his mouth, and carried, with some difficulty throu; tue crowd, across the street, to the theater. An examination showed that no bones were broken, and bis injuries are not necessarily fatal. It is stated thatthe accident was caused by one of the men who held ara Tope releasing hold, when the tension of the opposite line immedi. ately jerked the rope from bencath the gym- nast’s feet.” Tue Pork, in his Encyclical Letter of No- vember 21, referring to the conflict in Germany, said: “Beside man: wwe wrongs inflicted last year upon the Cathelic churche the Promlan government bas tubjected te the civil — by cruel and unjust legislation, altogether alien fcom its former conduct, and education of the clergy, in such manner that it belongs to the said Power to inquire into If it hay or liquid while making it, immediately stop the operation; then commence again in the same way in another vessel, and with the same Pro- portions as above, adding now and then, besides irops of lemon juice, a few drops of ice-cold water; then when about half a gill of oil has been used, add little by little the first or com- menced sauce, and if you have not enough when the whole is used, continue with oil.

Moreover, in order to subvert more speedily and completely the ecclesiastical government of the chureh, and the order of Hierarchical obedience instituted by Christ Our Lord Himself, many | obstacles are inte: by the same laws to hinder the bishops in providing with timely measures by canonical censures and pains for the salvation of souls, for the soundnesa of doc- trine in Catholic schools, or for the obedience due to them from their clergy. pods ented A Co-OPRRATION IN GanMany.—Here is the progress of cooperation in Germany: In 1850 | there were 80 societies, with 18,676 members, who had on loan 4,131,436 thalers: share capital, 246,001 thalers; and in 1870 there figures had | risen to 740 societies, 314,656 members, 207 7 od then shake them sothat littleof the crambs | juiirasont and the share during the: Franco. | hall adhere.
