SALAD MAKING AS A PROFITABLE BUsI-
NEss.-When many of the French nobility were
refugees in England during the first wears of
that revolution of'93, which has not yet come
TO an end, they found various ways of living.
The most singular man las well as the most sin
guar way OF life on the part of refugee) was
the noble Chevalier d Aubigne In the deepest
OF his distress, he was asked by an EnoIish
friend TO dine at tavern. At that time we
used to eat our lettuces Just as we now do water
cress, with a little salt, and nothing else.
DAubigne took the lettuce that was placed on
the table, and proceeded to make salad after
the fashion of his country. The other guests in
the room curiously watched the work and the
artist They snufed up the refreshing air of a
tldyonndtse, and when the chevalIer and his
Trend mad consumed the delicious mixture

preached the former, and said: "Sir, it is we'll
known that salad is made properly only by
your great nation. Would it be too much to
ask of your courtesy to mix one for me and the
three other gentlemen at yonder tablet" The
chevalier accordingly assented He went over.
mixed the salad 10 their taste, made himself the
while as agreeable as the salad, and just init
mated, by the way, that he was a noble refugee
without means Of buying for himself what he
mixed so well for others. The chief of the
guests whom he had thus served pressed his
hand at parting, and left O guinea in it A
golden idea was dropped at the same moment
into the chevaliers brain; he gave his address
to the donor Of the guinea. The meaning there
of was thoroughly understood. A few DAYS
later DAubigne received letter, inviting him
TO repair to a ducal mansion for the purpose OF
preparing salad for large dinner-party, as it
was understood it was his profession to do.
D,Aubigneipresented himself with alacrity, and
when the task was completed he asked five
POUNDS Tor the achievement. That completed
the conviction of the party that he was an in-
valuable artist in salads He could scarcely
answer the calls made upon him. In brief
| space OF time he was to be seen in little car
rage, with an attendant, in whose care was a
connecting Of various sorts Of salads, according

Hinton R. Helper wrote a book against slavery,
some years ago, which gave him a little reputa-
ton, especially among anti-slavery people. In
that book he was an ardent, Incorporating
abolitionist, and seemed to be an intense oppo-
nent of the slave power and all its works. But,
the impulse that moved him was soon exhaust
ed. He became cool, excepting that his head
was little dizzy in consequence of the frequent
mention of his name in the papers. When the
rebellion was subdued, he made his appearance
among the secession democrats opposing the re-
construction measures. A new impulse had
seized him, and he sought to be recognized as
man Of mark; but he failed badly and finally be-
came disguised. Now he comes out and de-
cares that new party must be organized,-a
Hinton R, Helper party, of course The man
evidently supposes somebody will deem his ut
terances important.

to different tastes and requirements. Subse-
quenty, he sold similar cases as fast as he
could supply them, with instructions for the
benefit of patrons at distance. Fortune, in
a prudent man. The chevalier put away eighty
thousand francs by salad-making. Sixty thou
sand Of that sum he invested in the funds which
he returned to his native country. With the
other twenty thousand he bought castle and
an estate-that is to say, Of course, a country
cottage and a garden, and lived at least as hap.

pillage in war.-Temple Bar.

The Rocky Mountain News says: "The iron has
been purchased, and the first installment will
reach Denver the first of June, when track-lay-

at two manufactures at Wilmington, Delaware.
Several of them will be thirty-three feet long,
six and a half feet wide, inside, and will seat
thirty-four; Others will be eighteen feet long,
and accommodate seventeen. These coaches
will be of two styles, both elegant and convent
ent. In one, the seats will be round arm chairs,
on a pivot, with astoolwhch can be transformed
into table. In the other, the seats are after
the pattern in common use, except that every
alternate one is a single or half seat, giving
sufficient passage way. The cars will weigh

Henry Ward Beecher's prayer meetings are
conducted on a system somewhat different from
that which prevails in evangelical churches
generally. Churches other than those called
evangelical" do not, we believe, hold prayer
meetings to any great extent. Those under Mr..
Beecher's management are probably as earnest
and devotional in spirit as others; but neither
he nor his people have much respect for the
empty forms Of devotion, and the people are
not troubled with excessive Difference for the
clerical Office of their pastor, but talk to him

he is, "a man and brother" and not a being

The Barre and Gardner Railroad.

The senate yesterday refused to concur in the
house amendments to the Barre and Gardner
railroad bill. This bill as reported to the senate
from the railroad committee was first rejected,
and, on reconsideration, amended, by striking
out the section authorizing the extension of the
road to Winchendon, and the bill then passed.
In the house this section was restored, and the
bill as thus amended was passed almost without
opposition. If there are any persons so simple
as to believe that the influence of the lobby is
exaggerated, and that such measures as this are
passed rejected by our Legislators after serious
and disinterested deliberation, unbiased by
other considerations than their merits and their
relations to the public convenience and welfare,
it must be a curious problem to reconcile
the determined opposition of a majority of
the senate to this modest and reason
able bill with the substantial unanimity of
the house in its favor. There is nothing diff
cnlt to understand in the case; there are no dis
puted questions of fact material to the issue;
there is nothing involved about which reasona-
Bile men can be expected to differ honestly. The
newspapers which by their situation are re-
moved from the possibility of being influenced
by local interests, pronounce the request for the
extension to be sustained by unanswerabie ar
guments, making as clear a case as was ever
presented for railroad charter, and argue that
there can be no excuse for refusingit. But the
senate does refuse it. The secret is of course
that the lobby has labored with the senate, and
left the house unassailed, to be guided by the
the reason of its members acting upon the facts
n the 1hic is 10 w
Bile, and there can be no doubt of its correct
ness.
The immediate source of opposition to the ex-
tension now is the Vermont and Massachusetts,
railroad. Besides the general objections to
the nature and methods of such opposition to
an improvement urgently demanded by the COM
munities interested this has the additional ele-
ment of fragrant breach of faith. The man
ayers Of the Vermont and Massachusetts road
last year made formal agreement with the
Barre and Gardner interest, that if the latter
would then cease to press their request for the
Wincheudon extension upon the last legislature
itmight be renewed this year without encounter
ing opposition from them.
The house will adhere to its amendments, and
committee Of conference will no doubt be APP
pointed. The controversy between the two
branches, with which the session annually
closes, will, this year, have the Barre and Gard
ner bill for its subject. We trust that means
will be found to induce some senators to with
draw from their unjusti6able position, and let
the people of this part of Worcester county COM
plete this long projected and most desirable en-
terprise.
