A Queer Court TO Try Them.

If the Judges should hc impcachcd. their
trial by the senate of this state rs il is at
present constituted, will be one of the
guccrest things in all history.
In that trial is it not possible that WILL
LIAM NJ. TWEED will take his sCaty
But whether TWEED is there or not,
JANIS WOOD will be sure to onicptc.
WooD has been proved guilty of taking
bribes, but his associates i'm the Senate have
decided that il is not of any consequence.
The great reason for this decision is said TO
be that WooD is wanted in the Senate to
vote next winter for the reelection Of
Roscoe CuNKLING 10 the Senate of the
United States. Another reason il that
some other Republican Senators are afraid
that If the business of eNpelling Senators is
commenced they may not be left in their
seats at the end.

natives was equal to the demand, the enter
prising fishermen of that hamlet managed
to control the bulk of the business. But
this source Of supply was exhausted some
years ago; and recently many of the Fair
Haveners have transferred their opera
tions to Baltimore, thus saving the ex-
pense of transporting the oysters from
Virginia in the she'll, and much Of the cost
of sending them TO market.
The old notion that oysters are not pnla-
table and wholesome from the first of May
To September has long been exploded.
For city uses, il is perhaps a. well that this
idea should he maintained. But il is well
10 know that, eaten directly out of the
water, they relish as wen and are Just us
Wholesome in July or August as I'm Octo-
her or March, provided they are not i'm q
milky state. There is a period of two or
three weeks, in the life of every oyster,
when it is not fiji for the table: and for
short time after il has come out of the
milk IL lacks that fatncss and solidity
which are necessary to its perfection. This
IL well understood at the shore houses
along the Sound and elsewhere. Oysters
spawn Mt different periods i'm different To-
'N'i'i'of f'N'ihiiE w AiiN Nl'IAn anu fblb-
ness of the water and other conditions,
familiar TO the fishermen. And thus the
tables of places of resort at the seaside are
supplied nearly all the summer with excel
lent oysters of high flavor And there can
he no more nutritious or better food. II
Is indispensable that they should be taken
from the bed Immediately before using
and reach the hands of the cook without
exposure to the sun.
The best oysters of which we have any
knowledge, as well IA most other kinds of
shell fish, are found along the north
shore OF Long Island Sound, from
City Island rs far east rs Guiford
The theory is that a mixture OF fresh
and salt water is necessary to pro-
duce perfect oyster. And when large
beds of fine oysters have been found in the
deep waters of the Sound-sometimcs at a
depth of nearly ten fathoms-much specu-
lation has arisen as TO their origin. 1t has
been supposed that fresh water springs ex-
iSted in the neighborhood of the beds.
Others have accounted for the phenome-
non by alleging the loss of a vessel loaded
with oysters in the vicinity years before.
The problem is still waiting solution. Per-
haps the great and good DIR. GREELEY
might be induced TO tell us what he knows
about oysters.

About Oysters.

The oYster-plantiug season Is now at It's
height. The demand for oysters ha, reached
such an extent that the native growth of
oysters in Long Island Sound, the c-tua-
Iics, and rivers where they flourish in the
greatest perfection in this vicinity, Is quite
inadequate for the necessary supply.
Hence the oystormen are constrained 10
import oysters from the waters of Virginia
and Maryland.
They are planted here i'm the spring,
chiefly in the month of April, and after
lying on the beds a sufficient time to con-
tract the peculiar flavor impaired by the
mixture of fresh and salt water, they are
fiji for market, nearly equalling those OF
native production. The larger portion of
these planted oysters are taken up in the
autumn, having lain through IA single sum
mcr. Generally they are better the second
year, having higher relish and partakirg
more of the favoritc flavor of the native
article. The choiccr qualities of the south
en- oys ter, such rs Lynn Haven Bays, san
dy Points, Chcrrystonos, and y ork Rivers.
are held at too high price to be proiita-
bly, planted. They are sent 10 Washing
ton, Baltimore, and Philadelphia, where
they are highly appreciated, being esteem
ed by many as quite equal to Saddle Rocks,
or any other of our best oysters. Those
brought North for planting are taken in the
RappuhunnoCk, the NanticOkc, and other
localities - fair, mcTchantahlc oysters,
which are bought at moderate rates, and
after becoming acclimated in our waters
are sold all over the country, unpractised
palates not distinguishing them from the
higher favored bivalves of native growth.
The best oysters are sold in our markets
IA Saddle Rocks. This is general term,
aud includes those taken in the East River,
ana all along the north shore Of the Sound
ps iarus Bridgeport For cooking in certain
modes, the best Southern oysters are fully
equal 20 the choicest native varieties But
they are not 80 good for roasting on for
| eating raw. They are not rs salt, general
! ly, IL Northern oysters, ana require more
condiments to give them az high relish.
they are more tender, do not live as long
out of the water ana are only Wholesome
when recently taken. And, as American
tuste llns not been cultivated up TO that OF
GEoRGE H., who preferred his oysters after
thcy mad lost their liquor and began to get
thcir mouths open, the Northern oysters
urc generally TIA" fuyoIitcs.
The extent of the oyster trade the
amount Of capital, and the number Of per
SONS engaged in the business are something
I'surpri,ihR. Baltimore is the great dis
tfiIutng point, whence oysters are sent all
through the Western country, and the
quantity sold there would astonish those
who have not given the subject particular
attention. Fair Haven, formerly known
n Dragon, III the ncighborhood OF New
Haven, was once n great place for the
sale OF oysters, ana go long as the supply of

1t Is likely TO be n long time before we
hear the last Of TiCmoHNE The trial of the
pretended Sir ROGER for Ieriury will probably
result In the introduction OF great deal 81 new
evidence relating to his life. From the manner
in which the Indictment against him has been
drawn, It would seem that the prosecution in
tend 10 90 to work to prove, not that he Is not
Sir ROOM TI,uEonNE, hut that he Is ARTHUR
ORToS. This is sensible and will simplify the
matter; for II IL IS couclusiycly proved that the
man Is ORruN II vii not be difficult to cun,l lnce
a jury that he cannot be TICHBORNE. One as
signmcnt OF perjury is based on the prisoner
having sworn hat in iss2, at Castlcmainc In the
colony Of Victoria he Lad been charged, In the
name Of THOMAS CASTRO, with horse stealing In
company with AL1UIH ORTON. This leads to
The belief that the prosecution intend to go into
the particulars Of the mans Australian career
II this Is so, some interesting Developments may
be anticipated. But assuming that the pre-
tended Sir ROGER Is proven To be ORToH, and IL
convicted Of perjury, the end Is not yet. The
penalty provided by law for the crime Of per-
jury would be considered an insufficient punish
ment for AN impostor who has made go much
trouble. In order to raise means for prosecut-
ing his suit the self-stylcd TICnBORAE Issued

he IL convicted Of perjury it Is probable that
prosecution for forgery, which carries a much
heavier penalty, will immediately follow, 80 he

The management of the Pacific Railroad
appear tp have great deal Of difficulty Ia COM
pretending the meaning Of the word terminus.
They have hardly yet arrived at clear under
standing as to whether their eastern terminus Is
IN Council BluT or Ia Omaha. And now they are
in diniculty about their western terminus. The
act Of leG2 required the Pacific road to establish
It's western terminus at san Francisco. Tho

constitute the Pacific line, and the Central
Pacific sou-ht and obtained suhsldioa to the
amount uf$Gj0,0O0 from the ,ity of San Francisco
under this condition Now the managers of the
road say that ferry landing ia san Francisco,
Ave miles from the end Of the road constitutes a
terminus; bu. the san Francisco people are un-
able to view the matter In that light. They say
that the cars oftho Central aud Southern Pacific
railroads should cnterthe city by bridge, by the

date says: Yesterday young girl
applied at a drug store, and after con-
siderable diilldence whispered to tie
clerk that her mistress. theatrical
lady. had sent her for 10 cents worth
OF love powders. 1t was queer mix
ture for this apothecary to compound.
and ne must needs know all the symp-
toms Of the disease that demanded such
curative agencies. \ young man had
been calling and calling tor months
past. Either diifidence or lack OF
warmth had prevented him from talk
ing business, aud now her. mistress
wanted something to soften bis heart
and bring him TO terms. The clerk
consulted his pharmaceutical works
without relief, and finally from his
own resources compounded Of pow
dercd rhubarb, sweet quinine, ASA
fetlda. ETC., IA mixture that will GER
tsinly bring matters to a crisis, either
fayorably or otherwise. The result Is
vet to hear from.
