The stratsOrd Bust of Shakespeare.

J. Parker Norris writes in the Phila-
delphia Bulletin of the Stratford bust
of Shakespeare as follows 1t is col
ored in imitation of nature. This ap-
pears very odd to us in these days, who
are accustomed to seeing statues gen.
orally cut from pure white marble; but
in olden times il was quite common. In
1749, the color being then indistinct, it
was faithfully restored by Stratford
artist. The expense was covered by
the proceeds of a performance given by
John Ward, who was grandfather to
the great Mrs. Siddons. "Othello" was
performed for this purpose on Sep
TENDER 8, 1746, at the town hall at
Stratford. This was judicious resto-
ration, and quite different from its next
fate. In 1898, Edmund Malone, the
celebrated Shakespearian editor, caused
the bust to be daubed all over with
white paint, to suit his classic ideas.
What was very valuable and interest
ing relic of old times--portraying as the
colors did the probable appearance of
Shakespeare-wast thus temporarily des-
troyed by Malone. 1t was reserved for
the more correct taste of later times to
remove Mr.. Malone's white paint This
was skilfully done, and it is now said by
many to exactly resemble the state in
which it was left by John Hall, the
artist who restored the monument in
1748. Such is the eventful history of
this bust. We sincerely trust that it
will be left alone in the future, to re-
main for all time the most authentic
representation of him
whose remembrance yet
Lives in mans eyes, and will to Fares and Tongues
Be Theame and hearing ever.
Much has been written about the fat,
stolid, and sensual appearance of the
bust, and it has been said to resemble
an English farmer more than what one
would suppose the great poet looked
like. It has been abused by some and
praised too much by others. With all
this we have nothing to do. It is IN
doubtedly the only correct likeness of
Shakespeare, and as such will always
command the attention and have the re-
spect of those who prefer authentic to
ideal likenesses. To us there is some
thing very noble about the upper
part of the head. It is only the lower
part that one could wish had been diff
ferent. Still, great men will grow fat
as well as others, and there is nothing
that we can see to prevent the suppose
ton that Shakespeare was only man
although he was undoubtedly one of the
greatest, if not the greatest, that ever
lived.

RECIPE FOR CURING MEAT.-The Ger
mantown Telegraph gives the follow
ing: To one gallon of water take one
and half pounds of salt, half pound
of sugar, half an ounce of sa1tpetre,
half an ounce of potash; in this ratio
the pickle can be increased to any guam
tity desired. Let these be boiled to-
gether until all the dirt from the sugar
rises to the top and is skinned off.
Then throw it into tub to cool, and,
when cold, pour it over your beef or
pork, to remain the usual time say
four or five weeks. The meat must be
we'll covered with pickle and should not
be put down for at least two days after
killing, during which tine slightly
sprinkle with powdered saltpetre, which
removes all the surface blood, ETC.,
leaving the meat fresh and clean. Some
omit boiling the pickle, and find it to
answer well, though the operation of
boiling purifies the pickle by throwing
off the dirt always to be found in salt
and sugar. If this recipe is properly
tried, it will never be abandoned. There
is none that surpasses it, if so good.

FEEDING FATTENNG HoGs.-A hint to
feeders, valuable, though not new, may
be found in the following, condensed
from the Boston Cultivator: Warm,
dry pens should be provided for your
swine, and their quiet and comfort stud
led as much as possible. By so doing
we save many bushels of grain. The
best feeders change food frequently,
and find they make a decided profit by
so doing. If salt is occasionally given it
tends to keep up the appetite, as well as
aids digestion. Too much rich food is
injurious; the stomach can only assim-
ilate a certain quantity at once. If an
animal loses its appetite the food
should be at once changed, and very
generally to something lighter, as roots,
pumpkins or apples. Sour milk adds
much to the growth of the hogs land we
have seen it well verified that raw meal
mixed with sour milk was much better
for fattening pig than any other cooked
food whatever). Fermented food is
much preferred by some feeders, and it
is we'll to give it as change if, nothing
more,

APPLEs.-It is stated that by care
full analysis it has been found that ap-
pies contain larger amount of phospho-
rous, or brain food than any other
fruit or vegetable, and on this account
they are very important to sedentary
men, who work their brain rather than
their muscles. They also contain the
acids which are needed every day, es-
pecially fer sedentary men, the action
of whose liver is sluggish, to eliminate
effete matter, which, if retained in the
system, produces inaction of the brain,
and, indeed, of the whole system, caus-
ing jaundice, sleepinesr, scurvy and
troublesome diseases of the skin.

The Council of the City Of Wheeling

POLICE CoURT.-The was good sized
audience in the police court room, yester.
dsy morning. The air was damp and
heavy, and it has always seemed to us
asIi such weather was favorable for a
crowd to gather at such q rendezvous.
There were but two cases on the dock
ct, one Of which was rather peculiar in
It's character. John Hayes and his vile,
two persons pretty well advanced in
years, reached the city several days ago
and having no money sought the hospi-
talities OF the police court chamber. At
night they occupied the room provided
for such dodgers, in the outer court. Gen.
Wallace had noticed for several days that
the husband was drinking stronger fluids
than strict temperance man should
However, he suffered 1t to pass until
Monday afternoon, when Hayes became
rather boisterous and abusive for one who
was imposing himself on the charities o.
the public. Upon being demonstrated
with kindly yet firmly, he became more
obstreperous than ever, rising to the
height Of pretty sublime profanity. Thii
was more than Gen. W, could endure
land SC" he locked him upin one of TIT
cells.
Yesterday morning hO was arraigned
before Judge Rogers on charge OF diSor
orderly conduct. The statement made BY
Gen'l. W. was substantially that giyer
above, whereupon His Honor, in view o
all the circumstances, imposed a fine o
one dollar and costs, ordering the pay
ment to be suspended on condition tha
the prisoner and his "better hall" woulC
leave the city within twenty.four hours
The terms were accepted, and when VI
lett the court room, hayes was busily en-
gagged in hunting up his scanty effects, pre-
paratory to leaving the place in disgust
We thought he looked as if he would
shake the mud Of the city of his feet
with bitter imprecations, from some
prominent point in the vicinity, befor'
the lapse OF one-fourth the time giver
him.
The other case was that OF Ad. Ebbert
charged with being drunk on the streets
Being solemnly callOd, ha came not. Hi
/ trial went on the same, however. The
testimony was brief, but to the point, and
His Honor taxed him two dollars Irregular
price now and costs. The money was
promptly paid, and Ebbert can now du-
plicate the bill.
