y substance called aseptin has recently
been introduced into trade by a Swedish
dealer as preservatiye material for milk,
meat &c. This is said to be simply borac-
lc acid, or boraX, the double aseptin CON
sisting of two parts Of borax to one part of
alum. Putrefaction is said to be prevent
ed by the addition of this preparation, but
mOldlness in animal substances is not.
Although very short time has elapsed
since aseptin has been brought into notice,
thousands Of pounds are now sold almost
daily in Scandinavia and Germany. 1t
has also, under the name of sepan, been
patented IN our country. The compound
is said to consist Of bOric acid, alum, sugar,
common salt, gum tragacant and cholric
acid. 1t is said to be an excellent food

THERE was always something irresisti-

about "a foppish passenger on Mississip-

jumped on shore at landing, and, drawing
a bowie knife, rushed up to gawky-look-

a Bridal Dinner.

\ dinner party given by wealthy citi-
zen OF New York to a bride and her brides
maids, is thus descrbeI: The table seat
ed sixteen, served on each side with the
lady and gentleman of the house at head
and foot The table cloth was of rich.
heavy white silk, with fringe half yard
deep, and was elegantly embossed Along
the edges of tie table under the plates Of
the guests, were spread lengths of the finest
and costliest linen damask, the width of Il
napkin. There We're no meats or vegeta-
hleS on the board. 1t was st and orna
mented for dessert. At each place was a
small silver vase, Of exquisite pattern, hold
ing few rare flowers. These, with
knife and fork, the five wine-glasses of diff
ferent sizes and patterns, and the bill of
fare, printed in gold on white satan, were
all. In the center Of the table was a rich
ly chased plated tank, filed with moss and
flowers. Running up from this was ii stem
which was twined with vines and held a
stand little less in size than the tank,
which was perforated with holes. On this
stand stooda block of the clearest ice, which
sparkled and looked rainbow-hued in the
numerous gas-lights, and as it melted sent
little streams of water trickling down
among the plants, making beautiful
fountain. The fruits were in elegant
stands, garnished with the most beautiful
flowers. The whole table presented very
elegant appearance. There were FIVE
courses, at the end Of which the narrow
table cloths on the edge of the table were
dexterously rolled up and taken of by the
walters, showing fresh ones beneath, and
clean napkins were supplied to the guests

a Radical Nest OF COrrHptiODis1s
Closed up in Wisconsin.

An article over the initials of Charles
Seymour, Esq, in the La Crosse Lc0dc.
announces that the Eau Claire land Office
has been closed by peremtory order from
the Secretay of the Interior, AMI that
Waldo Brown has been placed in charge Of
affairs there till an Investigation is had into
the management of the Office. This action
has been taken in consequence of deyc-
opments that are decidedly startling.
The article in question states that a
powerful Pine Land Ring has hid the
management Of this Office for many wears
past. This Ring has controlled the appoint
ment Of officers and the management of
the Offices after the appointments were
made, and 1t now owns million acres of
pine land which it has succeeded in mo
nopolizing within the past few years The
Land Office has been so conducted that
outsiders could seldom buyan acre of vaIua-
bic land No information or false infor-
nation would be given at the Office in an
swer to inquiries as to whether tracts of
land had been entered. Fal Sc books have
been kept; land has been noted as entered
for which no application had been made,
and every unfair and rascally device was used
to ascertain what We're the best timbered
tracts of pine land, and to withhold from
purchase till the ring got ready to buy and
pay for them. Fraudulent prescriptions
were registered, and other tricks to mis-
inform and mislead inquiry were habitual-
ly practiced, and had been for eight wears
past. 1t is charged that one Ii. c. Putnam
has been the active deputy of both the
Register and the Receiver, that he has
thus been without cheek on his method
OF transacting business, and that he has
carried things with remarkably high
hand. Among other results of the false
entries Of land, the authorities Of Chippe-
wa county have taxed thousands and thous-
and9 Of acres of land that now proves to
have belonged to the government, and the
tax OF Cheppcwa county for those years is
lnyalldated III consequence.
1t Is proper subec: of remark that all
the parties to this audacious and gigantic
frauds are radicals. Further DEVELOPMENTS
Will be looked for with interest

DURING the recent fires in Wisconsin, a
little four-year- girl resolved to try tho
efficacy of prayer, but having pious moth
er and proiane father, the result of her
early training was manifested in the follow
ing highly improper manner. "Oh, good
Lord, send us rain. Send us lots of rain
right away, Lord, we're having hell Of
time here. '-4Mtraukee Ne,cS
This little four year-old evinces CON-
mendable spirit in accepting the training of
both parents, while evidently believing in
the necessity of prayer from her mothers
teaching. The strong descriptive powers
of her father gives an unorthodox ending to
her devotions.

Judge Mallory, in discharging the boy
Foechtel, Yesterday, remarked upon the
great number of boys that were ALWAYS
hanging around saloons with no visible
means Of support; that there was Il crop Of
crime growing up that was frightfui to
think Of; that there ought 10 be some
officer appointed, or sufficient power
given to the present officers, by which such
boys should be arrested whenever SO found.
Amen to that Judge. 1t would be but an
act OF mercy to arrest any boy when lie is
found hanging around saloons. 70 such
boys when commencing habits of that kind.

ultimate result, no one need to predict
other than bad enl, and it is often be-
cause in the first instance such BOYS re-
ceive no check, perhaps no advice, or re-
stralnt from their parents, that so many
young men end in ruin and premature
death or disgrace, by incarceration IN state

4 Connecticut OpiaiOa.

When mans pocket is picked in a
railroad ear, and the passengers agree to
submit to a search, 1t Is sometimes the case
that one man will refuse to be searched, de-
handing that his word Of honor be taken as
sufficient evidence that he is not the thief.
The observers will most naturally conclude
that one Of two things is true: either he
has the stolen property, or he is ashamed of
the condition of his linen, aud wants to
keep his coat buttoncd over it. In Just
such suspicious position the President is
placed by his oycr-zealous friends in the
senate, Who have defeated Senator Trum-
bulls bill for thorough investigation of
the Administration.-Eate Ame,f-
