When their attention is not centered on encounters In the ring they Indulge in dog fights, rat baiting,and cock fights in out of the way Places on Long Island. Witheut some such gmusement every week the sporting man be- omes a miserable creature, and at regular inter- vais he craves the excitement of witnessing two ehampions trying to knock each other out. Just Row this element of society is in a wild state of excitement over several encounters that are in ot is being made to b si Sullivan is very particular. not to say finical. about the conditions of a match, it is yi doudiful whether the two men will meet each pagilist, but thoroughly and muscles are geod for et.

Mall of tie contests finally take place, the Prize-fizhting mania which reigned sometime Ago will be developed again. THE MODERATION SOCIETY. One of the queer characters of the town is | Col. H. H. Hadley. He is constantly being barged with sharp practices which he denies, most widely known in connection with the Morey letter, of which it is said he is the author. He is a man of fine personal appearance, dresses well, is well mannered and is oily and plausible. | It is impossible to listen to him and doubt his | Bonesty and sincerity—so people say who have met him. He figures prominently in the difi- ealties of the Business Men's Moderation Society, and if what is said of him be true, his setions as secretary of that body will sustain his feputation. This society was organized three or four years ago. it was Col. Hadley’s ‘tdea. In the light of subsequent events, it may almost be —_ inferred that the shrewd Col. Hadiey had a sinister pur- Pose from the beginning. The original object of the society. as its name indicates, was to en- ouraxe moderation. Its efforts were directed ehiefly azainst the prevalent custom of treating bar-rooms. The society also attempted to exert moral force by holding what were termed gevival meetings, in halls and churches, at hes were made by leading elergy- prominent professional men. As-a temperance movement it was regarded as far guperior to those which have total abstinence as their 0! It was not known until its moter. who occupied the position of secretary @f the society, began to deviate from the ori; Ral aim of the movement. It cannot be ADULTERATED BEER. ‘The deviation I refer to is the steps taken by of the beer 2 the:n. and | _ | the citizens’ movement show a determination |is very doubtrul. friend; {t was such rare sport that | so. there will be more | The preliminaries | A match is also being | made by the brewers of this city in order that the unadulterated malt liquors might be known from those which ere impure.

It was agreed that the brew- ers should submit their beer for analysis ander the direction of the society. The brewers were to pay £100 each for the che:niste’ certificate, which money was to be transferred by the so- © y to the cheintsts making the analysig. It | is now asserted by leading members of the so- | ciety that the plausible secretary arranged with the cheznists employed that they should only ive $50 for each analysis. This left a very in. The society did not benefit by it. Somebody did, and that is what has broken | the society to pieces. This feature of the charitable work of the B. M.

However warranted may have been the re- | | fusal of the jury board to respond favorably to | | the requests of the committee of one hundred, the petition of that body is an admonition that deserves more than a summary refusal. None doubt that the judges exercises as much care as would ordinarily be expected of them in filling the jury wheel, and there 1s no evidence that 'the drawing of Jurors has been corruptly di- rected: but it is well known in this community that justiee has often miscarried by reason of corrupt or dependent Jurors. and it calls for the promptest and most exhaustive measures to supply a complete remedy. It is a notorious fact that grand jurors have many times ignored bills for political or other favorite wrong. doers, regardless of the pointed instructions of the courts and of the most con- elusive testimony: and we can recall the dis- creditable instance of the court remanding a bill to the grand Jury, after It had been iznored in flagrant disrezard of testimony, only to have it ignored again. Nor does this evil end with grand juries. Our petit jurors have, in many instances which must be more than suspected the Judges, defied both law and evidence to shield political criminals from just punishment. | These facts have been fretting the people of Philadelphia for many years, and the committee of one hundred simply voiced a great public want when it made an effort to assure a higher measure of care in the selection of jurors. The judges are not entirely free from reason- able biame in the failure to reach the correction ofthe evils in our jury system. The failure to Xhaust judicial powers, when a false perso- nation of a juror was detected in a recent crimi- | nal case, to expose and correct the root of th evil. did much to cause public distrust in the integrity of our administration of justice. A Jury-fixer sat for days ona jury in one of Mouat trials, and when detec iance inspired by the liberal rewards ¢ the Times, it was discovered that he h served with a regular note from thes so n in the | very fountain of administrative authority was a deliberate fraud and affront pnt upon the court in the sanctuary of justice, and one should have been probed to the bottom in | court: but it was allowed to pass witha vi ous judicial admonition, while the sheriff's of- cer who perpetrated the fraud is probabiy y: his public place, ready te repeat it whenever political or personal interests may require it. Sheriff Taylor evidently did not dare to acquit | himself of the fraud, and the court should have compelled him to answer by the exposure and puaishment of his corrupt subordinate. Another reason that has quickened public dis- trust of our jury system, is the apparently sys- tematte exclusion of the more intelligent class of business men from the Jury wheel. Of course, all business men want to be excused trom Jury service, while the {dle, the ignorant and’ the | vicious are_more than willing to serve. It is & degree against incompetent jurors; but it is possible for them to compel the selection and attendance of a considerabie number of inteili- ‘gent business men to discharge the important duty assigned to jurors. A few of that most competent class of jurors are selected to serve, but they are ever ready with plausible excuses for their discharge. This has grown into a grave evil In Philadelphia, and nearly every miscarriage of justice may be fairly charged to it. Indeed, so great has the evil become, that it is now an accepted trath that justice is next | to impossible in certain suits, such as claims | against street and steam railways, and against ether corporations or individuals ’ presumed to be rich while the plaintiff is poor. This goes to | the very foundation of justice, and it shakes the hd ‘stem to its corner-stone. The jury is the | buiwark of safety for boti: person and property, and any assault upon its purity or Its intelligent discharge of its sacred duties strikes at the most sacred rights of the citizen.

D. | Welch, printer, recently: employed in a news- | Paper office at Zanesville, Ohio, * * * at | the end of a prolongea spree.” Major Adding- | ton D. Welch was a man of marked ability, and yet his life, at one time full of hope and prom- ise, was ended in a poor-house. About two | years ago he came to this city and applied to General Walker for a position in the Census Office. General Walker had known the unfor- tunate man almost from his boyhood, and being assured by Welch that he had reformed, and his nce confirming his statement, he was appointed, and for a while was industrious and | steady, and won the confidence and esteem of | his chief and his associates in the office. A little more thana year ago Welch received intelli- ence of the serious sickness of one of his chil- ren living at Turner's Falls, Mass. He has- tened to the bedside of his child, but not until the young life had nearly faded out. The death of the child threw him back into his old habits, | spoonful: and from that time forward he continued on the downward course, and the result was his chief was compelled to dispense with his services. that admonition must be well heeded by the jury board if public faith is to be preserved in Philadelphia trials by Jury —$_——os Ges. Burpank’s Deatu.—Gen. Sidney Bure bank, U.S. A. (retired) died Thursday night at his residence in Newport, Ky., where he has lived for several years. He was graduated from West Point in 1829. He served in the Black Hawk and Seminole wars and iM tasnt frontier and Sul juently he was employed in the Govern- ment Printing Office, but only for a short time, as his habits had unfitted him for service. From that time until his death in the poor-house he. gradually sunk lower and lower. Welch ‘was aman of marked talent, and was a class- mate of General Walker.

D HOME MATTERS, A VARIETY OF USEFUL RECIPES—NEW WRINKLE IN BREAD MAKING—HOUSE DECORATIONS AND CONVENIENCES. Pop-Overs.—One cup of milk, one cup of flour, one egg, alittle salt, This will make one dozen cakes, one teaspoonful to each patty pan. Bake in hot oven. A Goop Remepy ror WARTS aNp Corxs.— Drop a little vinegar on the wart or corn, cover it immediately with cooking soda or saleratus; let it remain ten minates. ; Repeat several times a day for three days and the warts and corns will be gone. Ciirron Loar.—Half a pound of butter, one pound of sugar, one pound of flour, six egzs, half a pint of milk, one teaspoonful of cinna- mon, one tablespoonful of baking powder. Beat the susar, butter and spice together until light. then stir in the milk, the beaten egrs and the flour. Beat well, adding baking powder. Butter and paper the pan and bake in a moder- ate oven. Fis Frrrrers.—Take the remains of any fish which has been served the previous day, remove all the bones, make it fine and add bread- crumbs and mashed potatoes in equal quant!- ties. Mix together half a tablespoonful of cream and two well-beaten egas, some cayenne ‘pepper and anchovy sauce. Beat it all up to a proper consistency, cut it into small cakes, and fry them in boiling lard. This is a nice break- fast dish. SERVIETTES.—New serviettes, or finger-bowl napkins, represent the months of the year, a childish figure, with appropriate flower or fruit in hand, such as daffodil for March and holly branch for December, with the name of the month embroidered beneath the figure. A novel set gives twelve figures from ‘* Patience” on the dozen napkins—Grosvenor, Bunthorne, Lady Jane, ete., ete. They are embroidered on fine plain linen squares, with the edges fringed and hemstitched. Eoyptian HaNctnes.—Double cotton plush, or canton-flannel hangings, for curtains, ecme in rich Egyptian colors, the oriental cross- striped goods; dark crimson, brown, verd- antique and yellow are some of the colors. They also make pretty sofa blankets, pound with brizht ribbon on the raw edges. These goods come very wide, a yard-and-a-half. Cot- ton plush also comes in cretonne patterns, with flying birds and flowers on buff, blue or rose- colored grounds. Oysrer Frrrrers.—Fifty small oysters, two eggs. -one pint of flour, one heaping teaspoon- ful of salt, one tablespoonful of salad oil, enough water with the oyster liquor to scant half pint. Drain and chop the o: add the water and salt to the liquor. Pour part of this on the four, and, whea smooth, add the remainder. Add the oil and eggs, first well beaten. Stir the oysters into the batter. Drop smail spoonfuls of this into beiling fat, and fry until brown. Drain and serve hot. Rice JaMpouaya.—Take some pieces of salt bacon cut in inch squares; put them in a sauce- pan with some slices of onion; fry until both are brown. Pour in enough of the liquor from oysters to cook a sufficient quantity of rice to make a dishful. Add water as it may be needed; season highly with salt, pepper, thyme, sweet marjoram and other herbs you ple: Let the rice stew till it is tender, then put in the oysters, and when they have bo'led for two or three minutes serve on a platter, heaping the rice ina pyramid with the oysters on the top. Cullens or small oystersare best in this dish. Eoyprtan Kanons.—Cut the lean of a neck or loin of mutton into dice about one inch square or larger. Haye some onions and tomatoes chopped together, and rub on these pieces, allowing them to stand in the mixture two hours. Then put about four pie na skewer (six skewers full make a di and them up in the front of the fire or in the oven, and turn as the meat becomes brown, basting with the tomato juice and sprinkling with flour. Pour the tomato juice and the grayy a the obs when served. Make a broth of the scraps and bones that are left In prepar- ing the kabobs. ANewIp Breap Makine.—Stale but per- feetiy sweet home-made bread can be djgposed of fa this wi Soak it in milk or water'till soft, then mix it with your sponge. Squeeze the milk or water from it before adding to the sponge; its presence will never be perceived in the new bread. A somewhat similar economy can be practise gard to buckwheat cakes; take those that are left at breakf break them in small pieces and put them in the fresh batter; they will soon be completely assimi- lated. and the cakes will be even better for haying them in the batter; they will be ofa more decided brown, and have a smoother sur- face. DELICATE APPLE PuppING.—MIXx two table- of arrow root with one pint of cream—milk will do if you cannot get cream; stir in two tablespoonfuls of sugar; let this boil gently, stirring it constantly for three or four minutes, not. longer: meanwhile slice some tart apples very thin and put in a pudding dish, with si dlittle lumps of butter betwetn the layers of apple. When the arrow root and cream have done boiling, pour them over the apples and set the dish in’ the oven; with even and moderate heat the pudding will need to bake for half an nour, though not longer. If you have been generous with the butter and Sugar no sauce is required with t.is pud- ding. 4 BepsiDE TaBLe.—Low bedside tables are coming into fashion. They are made of rattan or upholstered wood. They are roung with two tiers of shelf, and low enough to be even with the bed. y hold a candle-stick of antique brass—or pretty china, a little traveling clock to teli the hours, and a match-pox. The phosphorescent match jars are good inventions, as their weird glimmer enables one to see where the matches are, even, in the dark; they have a striking-pad on which to rub the matches. On the lower tier one can place a fi brush, and that Philadelphia symbol of protection, a watchman’s rattle. A pretty new match-box is in form of a brass gondola, with central partition. When a match is used it can be laid in the empty partition for the house- maid to remove daily. Never throw a burnt match into a paper basket or chiffonier where anything else is deposited. There is always a chance of some heat or sparks igniting in such inflammable compa: A cavalry-boot of tinted bronze is another match device. Cuekse AIGRETTES.—For these will be re- quired three ounces of grated Parmesan cheese, two ounces of butter, two ounces of sifted flour, three eggs (omitting the white of one) and a half pint of water. Boil the water and butter together, stir the flour gently into this, con- tinuing the stirring until the flour is cooked. This will be when it begins to thicken. Take the saucepan off the fire, and throw a handful of the cheese (about a third of the auantity) over the paste; stir and add oneegg. Mix an beat all together; then add as much more cheese as will prevent the mixture from being very liquid; add another egg, mixing and stir- Ting as before. Gradually add the rest of the cheese and the yolk of the third egg. Whenquite light from having being well stirred and beaten spread it on a plate to cool. When cold it should be quite set. Fry in boiling fat, taking up about halt a teaspoonful and scooping it off with another spoon to form it into shape. In the process of frying they ewell and gape before pees are ready; they must be gent to table very ot. _ ——_—_-++-_____ ‘The Inference From Detective Miller’s ‘Treachery. From the New York Sun, » Crime has increased appallingly at the capl- tal. One of the oldest detectives recently ad- mitted In open court that he ‘had afded and abetted the star-route defense against the Goy- ernment from which he was drawing regular pay. In the ordinary course of things he would have got off with a rebuke, and nothing but the demand for an example compelled his dismissal. What confidence can be feit in a force osten- sibly maintained for the public protection, when its members practise this sort of treachery? It is not at all surprising, in view of much experi- ence, that the bellef should be widespread and decided that the police and detectives have con- nived at the numerous burglaries and robberies which have become common at Washington in the last few years. The people of the United States have contrib- uted Ii ly to beautify and to adorn the capl- tal, though comparatively few of them enjoy advantage from this taxation. ‘They have a it to insist on honesty in the conduct of its affairs.

Mrs. Langtry hesitated for a moment, shaking her head thoughtfally, then she said: “It may be that youareright. not cared to say anything about these reports before, for fear that I might make a bad matter worse. But, perhaps, it will be as well to say something.

In the United States circuit court in Richmond yesterday the grand jury found indictments against Robert B. Mumford and others for con- spiracy.

COLLINS’ STATEMENT ABOUT NIXDERMAN'S JOURNAL, | Dr. Collis, brother of Jerome T. Collins, of the Jeannette expedition, has recently published. astatement to the effect that, if Ninderman | should-be compelled to testify before the Jean- nette board, in accordance with a Journal which he kept while in the Arctic regions, facts would made known which would startle the public, In regard to the matter, Ninderman says thet be kept a diary from the time he left San Fran- cisco, until the ship went down, but it contained. only matters pertaining to his business A and that when the ship went down he didn’ try to save It. During the retreat he kept no fournal, and testified avout the retreat the board trom memory. When Belun was reached, he procured paper, aad from that thne kept a journal to fix dates and events connected with the search for De Long. +e. Nearly Ten Thoas2n4 Dollars fer a Py of Petrarc | Everyone knows that the book ot booke— the book which (saviag a Gutenberg Bible, which is ont of the comparison) has fetched the largest priceon revord—is the Valdarfer Boo caccio that was sold in the Roxburghe sale. In that battle between Lord Blandford and Lord Spencer the former won the prize at the cost of £2,280, and by so doing he raised himself to @ Pinnacle as yet unattained by others. But on November 11, at Puttick & Simpson's, a between Messrs. Quaritch, Ellis and Thibaudeau had an ending almost as sensational. The Pe- trarchs of the Sunderland library came on for sale: Book buyers expected some excitement, but it was thouzht that the great price would | be siven for the editio princeps, printed by V. de Spira in 1740, on vellum. This fellto Mr. Ellis at £280. But when the Petrarch of Bernardina di No- vara (1488) came to be sold. that price was in- stanily outdone. The book is rare and beautl- ful. its great attraction lies in the illustra- tions, which resemble those of the celebrated | Poliphilo. After much frantic bidding It fell to r. Quaritch for the enormous sum of £1,950, the second largest price ever patd for a book printed on paper. If Dukes’ books are to go on selling like this, surely in another ten years there will not be a ducal library left in the country.—Pall Mall Gazette, | tee The winners at the Charleston (8.
