in was William r. Black, of Madison,
Rockingham county, and the leader of
the gang known as Blacks. He is
about eighty-fve years of age, and
owns most of the town in which he
lives, his estimated wealth being about
S15O,O00. Black is reported to have had
dealings in the queer" " his entire life
time, and it is supposed it was by this
means he accumulated his present
wealth. It is related of him that he
never failed to take back and redeem in
genuine currency any counterfeits which
might be brought back to him. One
person who found himself in possession
of a $50 counterfeit bilI-he did not
know by what means-went to Black
and said, "Mr. Black, this $50 bill you
gave me a few weeks since, I find is
counterfeit. Black, putting on his
spectacles, replied, excuse me; my
eyesight is bad but here is the money
for it, at the same time pIanking down
five genuine tens. These the individual
pocketed conscientiously, though he
had not received a counterfeit from
Black, knowing that that person would
easily dispose of it in his "queer"
When arrested he ex-
pressed himself as entirely ignorant of
the charges against him-knew nothing
about counterfeits-and accompanied
the deputy marshal without a murmur

MEATs-When a Joint of meat comes
from the market, it is well to cut it mp
at once. Separate your roasting piece.
Cut up the part for steaks, and put
away IN your coolest place what IS left,
to cook afterward. Take out the bones
you mean to make soup of, and boil
them soon, as they Will not keep as well
as the meat. 1t is impossible to say
how long meat must be cooked, much
depends on the fire coal gives out more
heat than wood besides, persons differ
in regard to what meat well done means
Redmeat, like beef, must be cooked
rarer than white meat, as pork. A
good way to find how much done 1t IS is
to stick a skewer in near the bone; II
blood follows it 1t is not done. Gravy
for roast meat is made by putting some
Drowned flour IN, also salt and pepper
and boiling water. In frying meat,
lard is better than butter. Mutton
and beef suet are good when the lard
seems hot try it by throwing IN mlJe
of bread. When boiling meat or Poul-
try skim it often, or the meat will be
dark keep it boiling. Put fresh meat
into boiling water, salt meat into cold
allow one quarter of an hour to every
pound of meat. In roasting poultry or
birds be careful to baste and turn often.
The back, having little flesh requires
little cooking.

Here we see a heavy decline in the
gross wheat receipts from Russia dur
ing the first nine months of the present
as compared with the corresponding
periol in the two preceding years. At
the same time there is a corresponding
increase in the supplies from the United
States. There is this year a decrease
in round numbers of 5000, 900 cwts. of
wheat from Russia, and an increase of
no less than 5000, 900 cwts. in the i'm
ports from the United States. The
falling off in Russian supplies is of
course a result of the failure of the
wheat harvest in southern Russia, upon
which western Europe is so largely de-

Is ) 3-5c. ard wheat &c; that the largest
number of days the river has been
closed by ice for a series of thirteen

The English Wheat Supply.
Advices from England by the late
steamers represent that the chief alarm
respecting the effects of the American
panic in that country arose from the
ports, in consequence of the unsalabili-
ty Of foreign exchange in New York. |
This alarm was quite natural, in view of
the pressing necessity that exists both |
in England and on the continent of Eu- !
rope to obtain every available bushel |
of wheat from all parts of the world, |
and obtain it speedily. The margin be- !
tween supply and consumption is very |
close in England, and any serious in
terruption of American exports would .
exercise a very important influence on
prices. Fortunately, both for Ameri-
can producers and European consumers,
our export trade has been affected by
our panic very much less than seemed
probable, or even possible, at one time,
and it looks as if the volume of the sea-
sons trade would not be sensibly di-
minished.
The Importance to European consul
mers of maintaining the American sup
ply may be understood when it is sta
ted that there is q considerable falling
off in foreign arrivals of wheat ships in
although the supply so far
was equal to the demand At last mail
dates there were on passage from the
south of Europe and America to ports
of call, 257 cargoes of grain and seed,
against 338 at the corresponding period
of last year. OF these 121 were wheat,
against IA; n maize, against 80 80
barley, against SO; nil beans, against 6;
1 rye, against IL; % seed, against 40;
and sundries, against 1. There were
also on passage direct to ports in the
United Kingdom SO cargoes of grain,
against 115 at the corresponding period
last year, of which so were wheat
chiefly from California, against 60 81
maize, against 50; and barley against
3, Tat the corresponding period in 1
1872. The English board of trade re-
turns show a falling off in the imports

Diligence, tact, quickness and accu-
racy, good temper, controlled enthusi-
asm, the power to do without sleep and
an imperturbable digestion, all of these
combined in one man, say a civil ser
want, will no doubt save him from be-
ing failure in his career. But they
will not secure him a brilliant or rapid
success. They, or some of them, are
among the conditions of success but
they are not the sole or essential condi-
tions. It is we'll that he should be dill
gent but it is better still that the great
man should think he Is so. He may
strive much to be quick and exact In his
work but he should strive more to
catch and keep his chiefs eye. To hap
pen to be always standing just where
that eye happens to fall to be ready
with his ''Here am I, send me, " when
ever the chief is considering whom he
shall employ on a delicate business, and
then, of course, to do the business satls-
factorily to be about his patron to oc-
cur to him; to observe him to oblige
him; and so, as the last and triumphant
achievement, to become the man of
whom his patron thinks the best and
the kindliest in his particular depart
ment or profession, and whom, there
fore, he means to send to the top of it

To PARENTS run the risk of
losing the love of their children who
put aside their trivial questions as of no
consequence. An interrogation point
symbolizes the life of childhood. ''Why"
and "What" are the keys with which it
unlocks the treasury of the world. The
boys numberless questions seem trivial,
but the wise parent Will never turn them
off unanswered if he can help it. It is
his opportunity of teaching. He IS met
half way, and there Is all the difference
between impressing truth on an eager
one and an uninterested one. The lit

FRENCH OPINION. Monsieur de Cham
bord will probably wait some time be-
fore he signs himself king. The other
evening, in his Free Religious" ad-
dress, Mr.. Rockingham, eloqueDtly
summarizing the guarantees of Ameri-
can republicanism, especially noted the
self-assertion of our people. A little
demonstration at a Paris theater not
long ago seemed indicative of a like
guarantee on the part of democratic
France. Victor Hugo's drama of
&c Marie Tudor being represented,
went on calmly enough until it reached
the dialogue between the queen and her
counselor, when, hearing in the dis
tance the confusion of revolt, she de-
nounces the insurgents as "rabble,"
and hears for reply: You may, mad
am, still call them rabble in an hours
time you Will be obliged to say, the peO-
pie - OF course, at this Hugoesque
sentence the audience applauded, rather
to the disgust of divers oyiJetjanti in the
orchestra, who Immediately attempted
to ridicule the applause. Inspired
by this Philistine opposition, the
democratic element asserted" itself so
energeticalIy that it rose to the height
of a striking popular demonstration.
This is a straw that does something to
show the course of the wind in France.

NUMBER 13.
John Q. Heenan.

John Cable Heenan, the pugilist,
who died the other day of consumption,
in Wyoming territory, where he went
several weeks ago for his health, was
born in West Troy, New York, in 1884,
and in 1849, when the gold fever was
raging, emigrated with the 1" Argonauts'
of that period to California. He set
tied at the town of Benieia, and his
pugilistic exploits among the rough
population there soon gave him the
name, by which his admirers long
knew him, OF the "Benicia Boy"
In 1856 his muscles and pugiIistic
propensities were so fully developed
that, in company with Mr.. James Gu
sick, his trainer, he returned to New
York in search of a fight. He spent
the next two years, however, rather
peacefully in the employ of the New
York custOm-bOuse. In 1858 he entered
his first prize battle with John Norris
sey, at Long Point Island, Canada, and
was defeated. The great event of his
life was the fight with Tom Sayers, in
England, in 1860, for the championship
of the world. The American hero was
lion among the classes who like
prize fights, during his stay in England,
though he was continually kept moving
on by the police authorities, and was
finally arrested few days previous to
the day fixed for the fight. The battle
was postponed in consequence, but Hee-
nan was finally released, and the fight
took place. Itresulted very unsatisfae-
toriIy to those interested in it, the
crowd interfering and breaking down |
the ropes and the referee taking to |
fight. In 1861 Heenan challenged any
man in the world to fight for 80, 600, |
which Jem Mace, of England, proposed /
to accept, but the arrangement was
never perfected. He found Tom King
in 1868, in England, King defeating
him so severely that it was believed he
never recovered his health. He trav-
eIed with shows in England and this
country for several years after that,
but did not appear in the ring again,
himself by his exhibitions
and by a gambling-hOuse in New York.
