Editor Stdr:-I think our beautiful CITY Is
cursed with as many nuisances and annoyances
to the square acre as any city of similar size in
the country, and why some OF them are not
squelched is what "no fellow can find out"
There IL on LIST street, between b and G, s. E.,
an old shanty, formerly used as a school house
which Is now occupied by a so-caled military
company, composed of "grown-up boys' and
others, who for over a year have congregated
almost nightly in and around said school-house.
where they have made night hideous by their
shouts and something presume they call drill
lng-the Chief maneuver OF which seems to be
the dropping OF number of old muskets on the
noor or the aforesaid shanty, with a noise pecu-
Iiariy .oothing to the sick and nervous AiIthis

the addition of two drums to their nOise-pro-

A VERY EXTRAORDINARY STORY Is apparent
ly gaining some credence in Madrid. 1t is
neither more nor less than to the effect that King
Amadeus was party to what is supposed to be
the assassination hoax, and designed the same
with view to the favorable results of the dast-
ardiy attack. He, says the report, was much
chagrined to find one of his instruments killed,
as he had no such intention towards any but his
horses. The prisoners will soon be discharged,
1t is said. Another sensation is that the Aftor-
ney General has discovered evidence duplicating
the Duke de Montpensier in the assassination OF
Prim, and demands his arrest. =

CONDITION OF STEAM BoILBRs.-A boiler in
a Bennington paper mill, which had been car
rying sixty pounds of steam, began to leak the
other day, and man from Sutherland's boiler
works, in this city, who was called upon to
examine it, was able 10 strike his hammer
through ii at the first blow. An interesting fact
in connection with the matter Is that an expert
employed by a boiler insurance company had
examined the boiler only few months ago and
pronounced 1t safe for a year. 1t would thus
appear that not even private interest, as en-
bodied in an insurance company, will insure
thorough examinations in these cases. Only
the other day Boiler Inspector Green, of this
CITY, received notification that a boiler had Just
been repaired, but that it had been thoroughly
inspected by the wOrkmen, and that there was
no use in reinspecting it, his regular fee was
ready ALI the same. lie, nevertheless, made an
inspection and found sc blister upon the
inside, so weakening in its effect that it was
necessary TO remove entire plate OF the
boiler and substitute a new one. Mill-ownerl
seem 10 be ineXcusably reckless as 70 the state
OF their boilers. They often endeavor to pre-
vail upon an inspector to allow them to use
boilers few weeks or a few months longer, as a
favor from the inspector and against his better
judgment. They seem to forget that the lives
of their employees and their own property may
pay the forfeiture of their foolish termity-

The Most VALUABLE BREEDS OF PouL-
rRY.-There is as much difference in the
opinion of breeders or amateurs, as to
which is the best and most valuable va
riety of fowls, as there is any one thing
we know of. On this subject the Prac-
teal Farmer gives its opinion In
this wise:
Zone of our experienced poultry
breeders, after trying most of the new
bre ds, Classics them thus, as regards
value for the million In situations
where eggs for use is or market are more
the object than anything else, the
French Houdan, the Dominique and
White Leghorn breeds. For o foul for
general purposes, and combining large
size, good laying properties. quiet hab-
its, easy fattening and tender flesh. he
prefers Partridge Cochins, dark Brah-
mas, light Brahmas, buff Cochins.
These are all hardy, every way deslra-
bic.

The CORNER LoAFER SKETcHED.-The
young man on the corner, with his hat
a little to one side, the stub. ofa cheap
cigar in his mouth, and a stare for every
lady who passes. is loafer. Do you
know where he gets his money? His
mother earns it for him by taking in
washing. Poor soul l. She thinks her
boy will get work soon. He could find
work to keep him busy fifteen hours IL
day, if he war ted it. But he is lazy
loafer, and don't want to work. Ii he
does get place, he shirks, OR does his
work so badly that he is soon dis
charged. He never works for the same
man twice. Or, perhaps, he is partien-
lar what kind of work he does with his
own hands. He looks down on that
sweaty carpenter who hurries by him
he mods condescendingly at his friend,
the shoemaker, and sends a Whit of
smoke into the eyes ofthe printer with
both hands full OF paint-pots and brush
es. He could not borrow ten cents Of
one of them. They know he would new
er pay it. They earn their money. He
bess his of his mother. Styleish boy,

COOKING EGGs.-It is understood that
eggs are more easily digested if "rare 3"
than "well done - but which portions
Of the egg resists digestion--the
white, which is nearly pure album
en-, or the yolk ? Lately, experiments
have been made in this direction. with
ample opportunity of demonstrating
that healthy gastric JUICE. which the
stomach seeretes for purposes of diges-
tion, will not act readily on firmly coag-
ulated white Of egg. even if cut in pie
ces not larger than ordinary peas that
is as fine as people usually chew their
food y while it acts with facility upon
the more brittle yolk. The reason is
that the coagulated albumen is very
compact and tenacious, and would need
to be ground TO powder " to accept
the chemical affinities of the gastric
iuce. Pour into basin boiling water
sufficient to cover the eggs, put the eggs
into the water and let them remain
eight or ten minutes. according to cir
eumstances and your own taste keep
the water nearly up to boiling tempera-
ture, but don't boil the eggs. Old eggs
will cook more quickly than fresh ones,
and of course small ones quicker than
large ones. By this process you will
find the yolks well cooked, while the
white is left in condition to digest rea-
dily,-Er.

How TO MIX MUSTARD Mustard
should be mixed with water that has
been boiled and allowed to cool /; hot
water destroys its essential properties,
and raw, cold water might cause 1t fe
ferment. Put the mustard in a cup
with small pinch of salt. and mix
with it very gradually sufficient boiled
water to make it drop from the spoon
without being watery. Stir and mix
well, and rub the Jumps well down with
the back of a spoon, as mustard proper
ly mixed should be perfectly free from
these. The mustard pot should not be
more than half full, or rather less, II II
will not be used for day or two as the
mustard is so much better when fresh
made.

How TO Cook BEETs.-Beets are very
nice cooked in the following manner ;
Slice cooked beets quite thin, put in a
sauce pan with some vinegar, water and
o piece of butter, with sugar enough to
make palatable. Any rule is impossi
bic. Taste it, and if any ingredient is
lacking, add more of it ; salt very little.
and pepper: thicken the whole slightly ;
serve hot. Beets may be skinned much
easier by rubbing over with a cloth i'm
mediately in taking them from the wa
ter in which they are cooked, than by
usirg knife and fork.

The MUsTY CoNsTITUrIoN.-Gov. Pal
mer, of Illinois, has recently delivered
a speech which Is denominated great
by all the Greeleyite lgans, and we are
free to confess there are many strong
points in it. Among them we find the
following:
Presidents and Governors are but
servants to the law. We have no mas
ter in this country, thank God, and
trust the time will never come when d
Governor of Illinois will not dare to say
to a President, "obey the law" and az
long as 1 am Governor of Illinois,
whether its laws are violated by Pres
ident or by anybody else, l will invoke
the power of the State to punish them,
if can. l have no faith iu men to pro-
tect human liberty. 1 do not care who
the man is, am willing to trust him
with my rights. 1 propose to trust
them with the Constitutions which the
people have prepared and settled as the
rule for the government of those who
serve them. I said, General Grant,
your order violates the Constitution
and the laws, anu Task you to correc,
it," He refused. That was my whole
offense of which Governor OglesbS
speaks when he says that 1 looked
over the musty, the n,usty leaves of the
Constitution. If it was not read and
studied more than these gentlemen read
it it would be musty indeed. ea

DoNT TAKE Down THE STovEs.-Keep

pleasant or healthy. But do not think
because you have fire you must shut

The RITUAL Law OF THE CHURCH.
Mr. Murry Hoffman, whose pre- ious
writings on ecclesiastical Jurisprudence
are well known. has compiled with great
learning and care a work, designed spe-
cially tor the body of the Iaity of the
Episcopal Church, on the Ritual Law,
with its application to the commnn-
ion and baptismal offices, and Messrs.
Pott, Young & Co. have published it in
handsome volume. This book meets
a want long felt by many intelligent lay
men who have had only the vaguestind
most unsatisfactory ideas of the bind
ing obligation of thu rubri', the force
of the forms, or even the entire signi6-
canoe Of the sacraments. Herein all
these matters are set forth with such
fullness that the work may be consider
ed as exhaustive of the subject. In the
introduction Mr. Hoffman S churchman-
ship and loyalty to the creeds are mani
fest IN every para yraph, while his pro-
test against the changes within the pale
of the Church itself, which modern I'M
belief would bring about, warns into
eloquence.
Though Mr.. Hcffman's researches into
the legal lore of the Church would be
uninterestine to the general reader. or
to protesting Christians who reject
forms altogether, they will be accepted
as of great value by all students of ec-
clesiasteal history, and the chapters
which refer to Llturgical revision in the
United States are of exceptional inter-
est in showing the differences between
the forms of the Church of England
and the American Protestant Episcopal
Church ......--....-- e..
