The Fetish Of Society.

In the Arcadian there are some sharp OBJ
seryations on ''the parlor of the period"
Among those fetishes which we worship
with slavish idolatry, none is more thorough
ly our master than The pa,lor OF the period.
Coming in from the cheerful glare of day igh.,
the unhappy caller is blndly ushered into the
mysterious chamber Of horrors. Cropping his
way to find seat, he hits his knee against
the sharp corpered ottoman which turks In
ambush on his PATH or catches his feet la the
sprawliHg legs of the large easel on which it
is now the fashion to display engravings and
paintings, or rather the frames which are sup
posed to set off to advantage these works of
art. As his eyes become accustomed to the
dim twilight, he gradually discerns chairs
scattered around at regular distances, more

1t is too dark to read, too dark to examine
the kuick knacks, too dark to do anything
but impatieptly await the tardy hostess. Ten
minutes Of life which ought at least to
share at will in Gods gifts of light and air
are lost every time we visit friend and are

thrust his keen scalpel when be goes onin the

Among the miscellaneous articles is usually
to be found that dreary nfiction, the photo
graphic album, the very apotheosis of family

frowns upon him; your brother in Japan

THE BATTLE of WINCHEsTER.-During
Gen. Sheridan's stay here he was coDvers-
ing with few friends touching his military
experiences and campaigns, when he said:
''There is mighty sight Of romance and a
great many interesting episodes connected
with the war that the historians never got

great deal said about the battle of Winches-
ter, little affair in which had hand.
Well, it was a pretty square fight, but do
you know that battle was fought on the
strength of information which obtained

as to know just when and where to st ike

nally, I heard of Union young lady in
Winchester who could be relied upon If
could get word to her. Her name was Miss
Wright. think she is in the treasury de
partment at Washington now. But the
trouble was to co,nmun cate with her. One
day heard of an old colored man, living nut-
side os my lines, who had a pass to go into
Winchester to sell vegetables. sent for the
old man, and on talking with him found him
loyal, as all the colored folks were, you know.
Finding he could keep secret, asked him
if he would undertake to deliver letter TO a
young lady in Winchester. The old fellow
said he would so / wrote letter on thin
tissue paper and rolled it up in tin foil. 1t
made ball about as big as the end of your
thumb, and told the man put it in his
mouth and deliver to Miss Wright in Win
chester. He went off, and in about two days
came back with an answer rolled up in a
piece of tin foil. l found had struck \
mighty good lead, and followed it carefully

girl gave me more important information
than / got from all other sources, and l
planned the battle of Winchester almost en-

PLEASANT FOR CHARLEs.-The landlady

PLEASANT FOR CHARLEs.-The landlady
of a boarding house on Fifth street, not far
from Plum, few days ago, suddenly opened
the door of one of the married lady boarders,
and found that lady in rather curious posi-
tion. Sitting in chair was well-dressed
young man smoking a cigar. His knees
were stretched apart, and kneeling on the
floor, with one elbow on each of his knees,
and, looking 'laughingy up in his face, was
the married lady boarder. The landlady
stammered, Excuse me, thought, Laura,
that you were alone" She cl sed the
door ard was about to go down stairs, when
Laura came out and said, "You'll exc lse
me, please. but you know Will is an old
friend of the family. He was my beau before
was married to Charley, aud as Charley Is
not likely to live long, when he dies am 60
ing to marry WILL" ''Oh, yes, that's n,
right" said the ira'e landlady, s'but I can't
have such goings-on under my roof. Yon,,l
have to get out Of here" And so the land
lady informed Charley (who IS a ieweler
working on Fourth street near WalruH when
he came home. But the jeweler refused to
move, and the landlady applied to Justice
OF the Peace for advice in the matter. hearing
which Charley ard Laura will pack up. and

Feeding Different Breed, Of Fowls.

The feeding qualities of different breeds of
fowls, as compared with each other, have
been hut little experimental upon. There is.
undoubtedly, as much difference in poultry
in this respect as in farm animals. Field ard
Flctory contains an article on poultry rails
ing. in which we find the results of feeding
several different breeds, the experiment hav-
irg been instituted last year,
''Ten pullets each. of five breeds, each
within week of being six months old,
were placed in yards. square, with CO ,forta-
BILE houses 40 feet. For the next six morths
an account was kept Of their food and eggs
produced, with the following results.
The dark brahmas ate 1863 IL quarts cf
corn, It's. and wheat screenings. lail COS
eggs, and weighed 10 pounds; feed cost IS II I;
eggs sold fer Sl06S; profit S5.41. The buff
Cochins ate 406 quarts. laid sol eggs, and
weighed 73 lbs I; feed, 1884; eggs So 35; profit
1921. The gray Dorkins ate 800 quarts,
laid 424 eggs, and weighed SO I-2 pounds !;
feed S4.S7; eggs, SS.73; profit $3.S6. The
Houdans ate 214 quarts, laid 1888 eggs and
weighed As IA pounds; feed, $3.35; eggs,
$3.50; profit, 500. The Leehorns ate
231 1-2 quarts. laid S07 eggs and weighed
SO l 2 pounds; feed, S3.62; eggs, S13.55

The reader can easily figure for himself the
relative value of the different breeds in thi.
case from the results obtained.
