The Late Mark Lemon,

Mark Lemon, whose death is announced
by the cable, was, we believe, a Jew by
birth. He held a conspicuous position
among the journalists of London, by reason
of his long connection with Punch. When
Punch was established, in 1S41, he became
one of its editors, and two years later he
was appointed sole manager, and so re-
manned till the day of his death. The OBJ
vious comic relation of his name to the
name of the paper suggested that the acid
ity of Punch was the ingredient he suppli-
ed, but there was nothing sour In his ma
tdre, and no professional satirist was ever
more kindly spoken of by the world.
Besides conducting Punch he was a fire.
quent contributor TO Dickens Household
Words before it was merged into All the
Year Round, and of late years has been the
literary editor of the London Illustrated
News. Though he wrote industriously, his
contributions to literature were mostly of
an ephemeral character. His most popular
work, perhaps, was the play of 1.-THE Sc
rious Family" which was not a good basis
for an enduring reputation. He wrote
several extremely dull novels, not n of
which had wen a moderate success.
In person Mark Lemon was large and
corpulent. For several years past he has
been afflicted with deafness, and when Mr..
Dickens resumed his readings in st. James
Hail in 1865, after a long intermission see
ing Lemon in the audience, the reader
would not begin until a chair near the plat
form had been specially set apart for his
friend.
Mark Lemon died in his sixty-irst year.

Reckless Marriage Contracts Warn
ing to Clergymen.

The Rev. J. II. Noble, of Troy, married
a runaway couple, the other day, not stop
ping TO inquire as to the wishes of the
friends of the parties, though the girl was
but sixteen years old and being acquainted
with her family, he must nave known that
there were serious objections to her private
marriage. And it seems that he had been
equally indiscreet on other occasions. VIM.
Densberry writes to the Troy Wing to con-
denim him. 81 experienced, he says, ''the
same deep wTithing agony only a few years
ago when the announcement was made tome
by a neighbor that my little girl, only16 years
old, had been clandestinly married by this
injudicious, unfeeling reverend in question.
NV feelings can better be imagined than
described when l learned that the cere-
mony of my daughter had been performed
in a dwelling of very questionable charac-
ter, in a secret and cowardly manner
There S something very strange In the
fact that such marriages are by no means
uncommon, and that the clergymen who
perform the ceremony are frequently men
of the highest respectabilIty. 1t is hardly
possible that familiarity with marriage
services can breed for them a certain
contempt in the eyes of these clergymen.
The relation is perhaps the most sacred
of any which it is in the power of men
and women to enter into, and should never
be lightly accepted, whatever the circum-
stances of those who aspire to it may be.
Yet girls and boys, running away from
their parents, find no difficulty in getting
themselves united. Disparity in age,
feebleness in intellect, drunkenness, even at
the time of the acceptance of the bond. ap-
pear to be no bar to marriage, though in
addition, it may be apparent to the otfieiat-
ing clergyman that the parties have es-
capped from those who have the right to
protect them. This is all wrong, and a
clergyman who so imposes upon the sacred
ness of the bond ought to be severely pun

A New Story on Tom COrwin.

Dom Piatt, in one of his Washington
letters, relates the following anecdote Illus
trating the politeness and humOr of the
late Tom Corwin, of Ohio:
He arrived at Dayton, Ohio, late one
night, very tired from a long stage ride
during the day. The great humorist anc
statesman retired to bed, observing as he
did so that some one occupied another bee
in the opposite corner. The Honorable
Tom wa soon fast asleep, and snoring ire
mendously. The other traveller bore the
infiction as long as human endurance
could go, and then he sang out:
'Ohl sir, sir, sir"
'sHello, hello" cried Tom, sitting NJ
wildly in bed; s'what is the matter 2"
'.Oh! sir" exclaimed the sufferer, ''yoT
snore, sir"
"Did 1 snore?" demanded Corwln. '1sl
possible? Ireally beg your pardon, sir.
And so saying, he dropped asleep again
and again the dreadful snoring went on
The pool man in the next be3 again com
planned.
''Sir, sir; oh sir"
81 say, what is it ?" responded Corwin
''You are snoring again, sir"
'tWhy really, sir, l am ashamed of my
self. l beg a thousand pardons for impo
litenass."
And again the Senator sought repose
but the snoring was worse than ever, anc
the sufferer once more called attention tc
the offence.
Look here, sir" cried the Senator,
''you have wakened me up three times, and
twice 1 have apologized, what more can q
gentleman ask? Now I am tired and
if you disturb M again, I'll brain you with
a bootiack."

Two Cubans Meet Their Fate Bravely.

The last victims of Spanish vengeance,
two bro hers, Gaspar and Diego Aguero,
paid with their lives, on the 14th inst, the
penalty of their patriotism to b cause of
Cuba-and, like the brave Goicouria, met
death as only the heroic can-without fear
and with perfect calmness and serenity.
Both were young men of superior educa-
ton and noble birth, belonging to the old
blueblood families of Camagney. The
elder brother was the more obnoxious OF
the two to the Spaniards, having been once
before captured by Valmaseda and sent to
Spain. from whence he escaped and re-
turned to the Insurgent ranks. The next
morning after their capture they were
hastily tried by drum-head court martial
and sentenced to die by the gar
rote. Before being taken to execution the
irons were removed from them that they
might bid each other farewell. AS the
chains dropped from their limbs they en-
braced each other; the elder looked firmly
and lovingly in his brothers eyes, quietly
remarking in French, Mon frere, mOurOns
~trdnQuiUeS et sans pdTler"-let us die tran
gully and without saying anything The
procession was then formed. The brothers
thanked some of the gentlemen present for
acts of kindness, and both mounted the
scaffold, Gaspar, the elder, with a smiling
countenance, smoking a cigar as uncon-
cernedly as if he was going to a party, aid
ed the executioner to tie his hands. The
usual movements were then gone through
with by the hangman, a death-ike silence
ensued, a twist of the iron screw by the
masked man was given, a ~convulslve
twitching of the muscles was seen, and the
souls of the unfortunate victims had sped
into eternity.

WATCH FOB TIL UGs.-Almost every
plant cultivated in our gardens is infested
with some IA or more species of insect.
A constant watch is required to keep oul
enemies in check, and dry lime, ashes and
sulphur should be provided in season., and
kept where a handful OF more can be used
when required. We kept the asparagus
beetle in check last year by the use o flime;
and the white-pine worm was entire
ly destroyed by the free use OF
the same material. There are few
insects that can Withstand an application
of caustic lime, particularly if applied
when they are wet with dew or rain. The
common gray cut-worm, which are SO de-
structive to almost all kinds of vegetable
plants at this season of the year, will not
crawl over fresh lime; but the best way to
get rid of the pest is to look for and kill
them. They usually iced at night, or on
dark, cloudy days; but ar early bird will
usually find the rascal taking his morning
meal. Young shoots of raspberry, black
berry and similar plants, are destroyed by
the thousands every spring by cut-worms,
and quite often the planter cannot account
for his loss.

The Trade i'm HOLSTERS.

Boston is the great lobster market of the
East, and supplies a very large home trade,
as well as an inland and Western trade,
with palatable stock for salads and other
rare dishes. The vessels are from twenty
to sixty tons burden, and each has an open
well or compartment amidships into which
the sea water is let by holes bored through
the bottom of the vessel. Into these wells
the Holsters are put as fast as they are
caught, and they are, therefore, preserved
alive-a very important consideration, as
we shall show by and by. The apparatus
used for catching a lobster Is called a
trap" sometimes a pot" 1t is about
four feet long, eighteen inches wide and
the same in height, the end section
looking like O D. Altogether it bears
some resemblance to a long bird cage.
On the bottom and sides it is formed of
narrow Stats, and on the ends is a narrow
network of stout Irvine, inclining inward,
in which is a hole about five inches in
diameter. This trap, well baited with
fresh fish, is put down by means of a rope,
it having sinkers attached, and the rope
tied to a buoy. A number of these traps
are thus secured in different places upon
the lobster grounds. The VESSELS anchor
ed in a central position, and the traps are
visited at stated times by men In yawls or
doreys, hauled up and emptied of their
prisoners, and the latter transferred to the
well of the vessel. After an average fare
has been received the vessel runs into port
and discharges her living cargo into long,
floating boxes, called ''cars." These
cars are about twenty-five feet long,
ten wide, and four or five feet deep, and
lave openings on the bottom and sides to
allow the water to pass in and out, but not
large enough to allow the smallest lobster
to escape. The cars have a capacity for
holding about twenty thousand Holsters.
Flom the cars they are taken as wanted,
and boiled ready for market. They are
transferred from place to place in large
scoop nets. HOLSTERS, like other fish, mi
CRATE to deeper waters in the winter sea-
son, and are caught in from twenty to forty
fathoms, and sometimes, we hear, as deep
as seventy fathoms. The spring trade
usually opens the first of March, though
Holsters are caught in greater Or less
quantities throughout the whole of the
winter. For shipment, they are usually
boiled and barreled up, and sent off
by rail. In the winter season they vii
keep good for a long time, but like all fish
will spoil in summer if not kept OF ice

How TO MAKE CoFFEE-The American

it. and let us know the result: First, sol
EMMY determine in your mind never to al
low an ounce of ground coffee to enter the

berry is about twice as large as
when green, depend upon it the scalawag
Great Humbug Pea and Coffee Company
have defrauded you. Get the earthen pot
you cannot make good coffee or tea in a
tin vessel-and put the ground coffee in a
clean white flannel bag and be sure to put
enough in, and drop the bag into the pot.
Pour on boiling water and let it steep; do
not boil it. The coffee will steep in twenty
minutes. Never break an egg into coffee,
and never fill up with water the second
time. Pour on in the beginning the
amount of water needed. An ordinary tea
cupful of ground coffee is sufficient for
three persons. Use Java, Mocha, or Java
and lilo mixed. Follow this receipt, and
you will never complain of poor coffee"
IT is a waste to overstock pastures in
which mich COWS Craze. Abundance of
grass is what COWS need. They should be
able to get all they will eat without work
ing too hard for it. Five COW in plentiful
pasture will make as much butter or cheese
as ten on the same field; so that $500 in
five cows will yield as much profit as 5000
in ten COWS, with one-half the liability to
loss by disease,

Pneumatic Tube 400 Miles Long.

had occasion to send a telegram to Lon
don the other day, and in a few minutes re-
ceived a reply which led me to suppose that
a serious error had been committed by my
agents, involving many thousand pounds.
I Immediately went to the telegraph
Office aud asked to see my message.
The clerk said. 1--WE can't show it 10 you,
as we have sent it to London. "But," /
replied, ''vou must have my original paper
here: I wish to see that" He again said,
''No. we have not got it; it is in the post
office at London" ''What do you mean? ?"
[ asked. 'Pray let me see the paper I left
here an hour ago" "Well," said he, eff
Won must seq it, we will get it back in a few
minutes, but it is now in London" He
a a bell. and. in five minutes or so, pro-
duced nv message rolled up in pasteboard.
1t seems that for some months there has
existed a pneumatic telegraph between
GLASGOW and London and between London
and the other principa cities of the king
dom. which consists of an iron tube into
which the messages are thrown and sent to
their destination. Inquired if might see
a message sent. ''0h, yes, come round
here" He slipped a number Of messages
into the pasueboard scroll. dropped it into
the tube and made a signal. 1 put my ear
to the tube and heard a slight rumbling
noise for seventeen seconds, when a bell
rang beside me, indicating that the scroll
had arrived at the general postoffice, four
hundred miles of. 1t almost took my
breath away to think oft.
If 1 could only go to Boston with the same
relative speed, you might count on my
passing an evening every week at No. Ia
Beacon street, and returning home to sleep.
Who knows but we may be conveyed in this
marvellous manner before many years?
Perhaps you are aware that there has
been a large tube placed in the general
post-ofice in London, and the stations in
Euston square, in operation for a number
of years. The mail bags for the north are
all sent by this conveyance, so that the
post-ofice receives letters up to a few mo-
ments before the train leaves, three miles
of. The transit takes less than two sec
onds ! Surely this is an age of wonders. "
