How to Carve Meats.

IL is considered an accomplishment for h. dy or gentleman to know how to carve well at his or Der own table. IL is not proper to stand in carving. The carving knife shold be sharp and thin.
 To carve fowls (which should always be laid with the breast uppermost,) place the fork in the breast, and take off the wings and legs without turning the fowl then cut the carcass in two. Divide the joint in the leg of turkey.
 In carving a sirloin cut in thin slices from the side next to yod it must be put on the dish with the sirloin underneath, then turn it and cut from the tenderloin. Serve the guests to both kinds.
 In carving a leg of mutton, or ham, begin by cutting across the middle to the bone Cut a tongue across and not lenthwse, and serve from the middle part
 Carve fore-quarter of lamb by separating the shoulder from the ribs, and then divide the ribs.
 To carve a loin of veal. begin at the small CT end and separate the ribs Serve each to piece of kidney and its fat. Carve pork and mutton in the same way.
 To carve a filet of veal begin at the tor and help to stuffing at each slice. In breast of veal, separate the breast and brisket ana then cut them up, asking what part Is pre- ferred.
 In carving pig it is customary to diyid, it and take off the head before it comes or the table, as to many persons, the head is re yolting. Cut of the limbs and divide tn ribs.
 In cutting venison, make deep incisiol down to the bone and let out the juices; thei turn the broad ends towards you, cuttin. deep m thin slices.
 For a saddle of venissn, cut from the tai toward the other end, and on each side, il thin slices. Warm plates are very necessar, with venison and mutton, and in winter ar very desirable for all meats.

The Old 0aken Bucket.

"The Old Oakcn Bucket was written by Samuel B.

NEWSPAPER writers often make appeals to ''the intelligent reader" If that individual still has an existence among us, he is having a hard time of it now. He has need of all his intelligence to sift the false from the true in the partizan appeals of the day. What to read and how much to believe, are questions which might puzzle Solomon. The trouble is that in too many cases the appeal is not made to the intelligence of the reader, but to his presumed ignorance, prejudice or self-in- terest. It is fortunate that the schoOl-mas- ter has been abroad in this land, or the peo- pie might be left to believe lie. Some of our politicians seem to agree with Sheridan that conscience has nothing to do with poli- ties. They profess great love for the peo- pe-

Government COuntersign.

The countersign of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is now a somewhat more serious well difii- cult business than 1t was a few years ago, each bottle of the genuine article being authenticated by the official indOrsement of the United States Revenue department in the form of stamp en. graved on steel, to counterfeit which is felony Sec, therefore, that this Government Countersign, well the engraved label and note of hand Of the proprietors, Is attached to the bottle. The h. bel is embelished with a superb representation of st George on horseback in the act Of spearng the Dragon, and underneath is a shield Or escutch- con, bearing warning inscription, which coun- terfeters are advised to read before they encoun. ter the penalty which is set forth. Below this again Is Hostetter S Smiths note of hand, the signature of which it would be rather serious business to forge. If the public will look these verihcations Of the genuineness Of the article be- fore they purchase, they cannot be deceived The proprietary label and Government stamp are both executed on steel in the most elaborate style of bank-note engraving, and are probably the most expensive specimen of graphic art ever attached to any medical preparation.

4 Horrible Affair." JsOther Accused Of
Poisoning -Four OF Her Chlidre Gu
IhEee Ol Them DEAD.

From the Pittsburg Republic, 14th.1
Yesterday evening We were informed
by a railroad officer of a most horrible
poisoning affair which occurred IN Up
per Sandusky, on the Fort Wayne
Road, SURPRISING in atrOcity and fiend-
ing cruelty even the Mrs. Grinder
scenes of poisoning in this city. The
following are the circumstances, as re-
lated to rs:
The woman accused of poisoning
her children is a widow, aged from
forty to forty-fve years, and has been
for a long time a resident of Upper
Sandusky, Ohio. Her husband, by
whom she had four children, died some
years ago. She never married again,
but since his death has given birth to
three, Legitimate children, who have
been living with her. The reputed
father of these children lives Ia the
city of PittsburP, it is said. 1t is re-
ported that some time since he pro-
posed to her that If she could get rid of
her legitimate children, he would pro-
vide for her and raise and educate the
illegitimate ones.
Soon after her eldest daughter, aged
about IL years, aud living in a family
some distance from Upper Sandusky,
was suddenly taken sick and her moth
er sent for to see her. She grew rapid !,
IL worse after the mothers arrival. and
died In great agony. The physician
could not account clearly for her symp.
toms, but having no suspicious of
poison at the time, the body was
buried. In abOut six months after tue
second daughter died suddenly with
the same symptoms. A few weeks ago
the next In age died In the same man
ner, aud last week the last child Ia boy)
of her marriage was taken down, and
by late accounts was at the point of
death. These repeated singular and
sudden deaths, all colnciding In symp-
toms aud manner together, aroused
terrible suspicious IN the minds of the
neighbors, which were strengthened
by her loose and immoral course of
life
The county authorities took the mat
ter in hand for investigation, and last
week, by their order, the body of the
eldest daughter was disinterred, the
stomach taken out aud subjected to
chemical analysis. The analysis dis
covered large quantity of arsenic in
the stomach, more than sufficient to
cause death. AS soon as this terrible
discovery was made the bodies of the
other two victims were disinterred, and
the stomachs subjected to the same ex-
animation, which resulted in the dis
covery of arsenic IN each of them.
Since the discovery of the fact that
the children were poisoned, it is said
that the mother, IN the case of the eld-
est daughter, who was about to be
married, sent her as present pois on
ed cake, which the daughter received
and ate, and that fearing that this
would not be fatal, she FASTENED to see
her, and finding her PROSTATE, mixed
more arsenic in the food she admins
tered. Such horrible depraYity seems
too great almost. for belief.

How they Punish Thieves in ST. Louis.

From the st. Louis Democrat, 1Othl
For long time the police have been
troubled by a set Of thieves and pick
pockets who are so expert in their pro-
fession that they manage to avoid ar
rest while IN the act OF committing
depredations. These men are known
10 the detectives, and many of them
have been arrested as Migrants. "shoWn
up" and fined, but they still remain In
the city and prey upon the community.
A new expedient was tried yesterday to
get rid OF a suspected thief, and that
was to march him through the streets
with q pastebosrd placard on his back,
on which was inscribed the terrible
sentence: 'FThis is q thief and a safe
blower" The name Of the victim is
Tony Craig, who is said TO belong IN
New York, and Is represented as one OF
the most expert men IN the business.
A sergeant escorted Tony, and he was
followed by az officer carrying four iron
rods about ab inch thick and each about
two feet long. These rods could be
screwed together and used as a crow
bar for prvInR open safes, two of the
pieces / eing provided with a curved
claw at the ends, made of hardened
steel. With this apparatus it is said
that man can break open almost any
safe in use.
Tony was marched mp Fourth street,
no Fifth and Broadway, stopping at
the Express Office and other places, to
make the acquaintance of the clerks.
| A crowd OF several hundred people fol-
loved, and the general exclamation
was that he was served right. On
taking him to the Southern Hotel,
Tony objected to going IN, saying he
''did not board at q first-class hotel. y
he was then taken TO the calaboose.
We understand that the iron bars be-
| longing to the man had recently been
repaired and sharpeDed at blacksmith
shop, the owner telling the smith that
he used the implements for tearing the
bark from trees and girdling them, and
called it q ''deadener." A number of
other well-dressed gentry will be served
In the same way, unless they shake the
/ dust of the city from their feet. There
are about twenty on the list, aud they
will be trOtted out one at time.

The Last Duel m Europe.

There is mixed railway train daily
going through TO Aix-la -Chapelle by the
northern line. A few days ago some
three or four gentlemen were seated IN
a first-class carriage of this train. One
was the Count 49,, Prussian noble
man, going TO Berlin. He was con
versing in loud voice with a gentle
man next HIM, giving full account of
some of the political and warlike events
of last year, and in that arrogantly
offensive tone which is very character
istie of the Prussian of the modern Bis
mark school, he staggered overmuch
at the expense of Austria.
Another gentleman in the opposite
corner of the carriage could not help
overhearing this language, and he was
naturally much disgu ted, being the
Baron -, an Austrian Colonel
Indeed, at last, the Baron, to get out
of earshot, or to cool his rage, opened
the window and put his head out. The
Prussian complained of the cold, and
at last peremptorily requested that the
window be shut. "You fear the cold,
said the Baron, more enraged than
ever. I'VE shall see by-and-by whether
You fear the fire." The Count under

countrymen travelling on the train, who
