AnecdOte Of Webster.

When Daniel Webster had reached
the very topmost height Of his fame, af-
ter his great speech in reply to Colonel
Hayne, Of South Oarolina-the speech
commonly known as his constitutional
Speech''-he paid visit 10 his old home
in New Hampshire, the neighborhood of
his boyish years and his first manly as
pirations and strugglings. A well-known
citizen was his companion. After going
mp the rough mountain roads for a good
long while Webster pointed out the
nearness of the old parental roof-tree.
"There," said he, sis neighbor"-Jones,
we call him-"there's. old neighbor
Jones. Ill stop and talk with him, and
see if he knows me- So Mr.. Webster
got ont Of the wagon and walked on
ahead. Soon he met the old maMJ ones,
and "passed the time Of day." as they
say in good, rural New England. Web
ster walked lazily, loiteringly along the
road, and finally turning, said to the
scanned, gnarled, rugged old farmer:
Wasn't there a family named Webster
once living near you? knew something
of family of that name said to live in
these parts"
"Why, yes" said Jones Webster,
yes, our old neighbor. He had two like
ly boys. Let's see-Zeke; then there
was-whai's his sname-Oh, Dan'l-Dan1
Webster" And then Daniel, leaning on
the fence, engaged in a long talk with
the farmer about the Webster family,
a talk quite unnecessary to reproduce
here. The farmer was very enthusiastic
about Ezekiel. Ezekiel Webster, il
should be remembered, was young man
of rare promise, of even greater promise
than his famous brother, as we believe
the latter admitted in ripper years. He
died when but a young man. The farm
er could not say too much in praise of
Ezekiel, to all of which, of course, Dan
iel Webster listened with boundless sat
isfact;on. But finally the latter said:
"What became of the other brother
Daniel?"
"Oh, don't know" said Farmer
Jones. "He went away, and believe is
kind of lawyer down in Boston."-M
F., in Golden Age.

Steel Fish TOrpedOes.

An experiment was recently made by
the British Admiralty Department wi h
one Of Whifehead'S fish torpedoes. This
is made of steel, is about eight feet long,
eighteen inches in diameterat The centre,
and tapers off to point at each end.
At the tail end there is three-bladed
screw propeller, worked by an engine
inside the body, and four blnded rud-
der 10 steer it in the direction it il in
tended 10 GO. Ii is constructed in three
parts. The head contains the rocket,
which, heing charged with gun cotton
when required for actual service, il fired
by Conclusion with the enemy ship,
and intended 70 blow up fhe vessel. The
tail end is a chamber which holds the
compressed air to work the engines, and
in the middle portion is placed the en-
gine, with pair of cylinders. These
torpedoes are subjected to the test OF
1900 pounds pressure to the square inch
before they are pronounced safe for use,
and, Notwithstanding this precaution,
one of them recently exploded while
being experimental with at the arsenal,
inficting the most destructive results to
property and loss of life. The torpe-
does are intended to be discharged from
a tube in the bow of a ship, and are ex-

Trichina-The Kaskaskia Bottom
Strewn with Dead HOgs-MOre
Than Ten Thousand POrkers Die
OF Trichina.
Correspondent st. Louis Globe.

CHESTER, I'LL, Feb. %, 1874.
Hogs, great and small, in the Kaskas-
kia Bottom, for the past nine months or
more, have been severely afflicted with
trichina, which has been widespread and
terribly fatal-a genuine epidemic
among the porkers. The fatality Of the
disease has indeed been fearful. For a
time the farmers in the locality believed
their hogs TO be dying from cholera,
which, every now and then, makes it,
appearance among the swine kind, es-
pecially in the bottoms, supposed TO be
caused by miasmatic influences, but the
malady now prevailing is of another
type, and far more destructive. The
Kaskaskia Bottom, an area of some
last fall, and until winter set in, in
many localities, was literally strewn
with dead hogs, great and small, and but
few farmers having hogs left TO supply
the years demand for meat. Ii is esti-
mated that not less than from ten 10 fif.
teen thousand head Of hogs have died
of trichina in that neighborhood within
the past nine months, and though the
disease has in a measure ceased. its terri.
BILE ravages, it has by no means disnp.
peared. 1t can scarcely be doubted but
that nearly, if not quite every hog In
the region of country spoken of is more
or less affected with this loathsome dis.

surprise to speak. Then l asked him if
he knew what his child had grown up

and we'll, at least she was a few weeks
ago, and Madame Dupont, I've heard in
a roundabout way, has behaved awfully
well TO her. Beyond that know moth

"I'm sure l don't know" he replied
rather ruefully; "the whole thing is
rather facer. She mightn't care to
leave Madame Dupont, who has been
like mother to her. Cherie! l wonder
to me now that l could have lived so
many years without seeing and knowing
my own child"
l quite agreed with him on this point,
and before we parted for the nightI told
him all.
He was as much astonished at my con-
fession as l had been at his. When he
learnt who | was, who my father was,
and that / had voluntarily become an
exile from home and family, penniless
exile, too, on account of the love / bore
his child, the child he had abandoned
from fear and motives of interest, the
contrast between my conduct and his

fully; but Englishmen are not demon
strative. For few minutes he was 81

had to relent, and give his consent TO our
our marriage, and Cherie was charming
enough to win the most obdurate heart.
Ny mother was very anxious to send her
to school for year, but would not hear
of such thing. She was fit 10 adorn

Heavystone was enchanted with his 10 g
neglected child. and could not do enough
for US both.

more than a year Edgar Thornton, at
his own urgent request, performing the
part of ''best man" at my wedding), and
are as happy as possible. Since the ar
rival of young gentleman, who made
his appearance on this worlds stage
few weeks ago, the governors last scru-
pies and objections have entirely vanish

daughter-in-law. Colonel Heavystone
has bought us a small house in town,
close to his own, and we live between
London and Downton; but suppose it
will end in our eventually settling in

Wherever we go, dear old Madame

A "KettIedrum." /"

4 Washington correspondent n'en-
toned one Of them a. follows
AT last VIC have had kettledrum.
For year New York fashion correspon-
dents have filled our souls with envy by
their description Of 'kettledrums. They
all said qkettledrnms' were 40 and 50.
Still not one Of these ready writers ever
averred that 'kettledrum had actually
transpired to their certain knowledgr.
They contented themselves with harping
on 'kettledrums-if the expression he
admissible. But Il makes no difference
now. We know how the thing is done.
On Monday night, Mrs. General Meigs
wife of the Quartermaster-General, leii
for few favored friends her yiaitinE
card, with the simple pencil inscription
in ono corner, 'At home Tuesday after

HindOO Bellies.

1.-The Hindoo women" says a writer
in FrazeS's Magazine, ATTRACTED me most
by their graceful carriage; their pic
turesque drapery, consisting of full
skirt and sort of bnrnous, which pass
es over the head, almost completely
yelling the face. These vary in color,
being sometimes bright blue, and pink
and yellow, the skirt often bordered
with hem of some other color, often
very gaudy, but the dark skin harmoni-
zes it all. The most artistic, to any
mind, is the dark indigo blue, but it is
more rare in the Northern than In the
Southern India, where almost all the
lower classes of women wear it. 1t is
pleasant to watch the easy grace with
which they walk, bearing round red
earthen ware or bright copper water
jars on their heads, steadying their bur-
den with one well-shaped, small-wristed,
dusky arm stretched up to its full length,
and covered almost to the elbow and
sometimes with numbers of bracelets.
These are sometimes silver and often
plated metal or red and green lace.
once heard of a school, the pupils OF
which were trained to walk about with
tumblers of cold water on their heads;
and when / saw the firm footed easy
grace of these burden bearing women,
regretted that the practice was not uni
versal, The pale-face race may perhaps
pride itself on its superiority in the use
of the contents of its head, but these
dusky daughters of the sun certainly

Let the Girls Read 1t.

From the st. Louis Democrat.
In Cincinnati they tell a little story
about Mrs. Chief Justice Waite. About
a month before Gen. Grant had broach-
ed Mr.. Waite's name to the Senate
though Gen. Hillyer says Mr.. Waite was
always Gen. Grants first choice-but
before anything was thought of the mat
ter by the Waites, Mrs. Waite wrote an
article on cookery for the Cincinnati
Gazette. The article was signed Yam
kee Cook Girl It was full of sound
suggestions on the cookery question,
and replete with good advice to house
keepers. The article arrested SO much
attention that finally rich,
old widower in Cincinnati wrote
10 Sam Reed, the editor, that he would
be glad to give the Yankee Cook Girl
a situation-not as servant, but she
might preside over his household. In
fact he offered marriage. Mr.. Reed had
TO answer in paragraph that the Yam
kee Cook Girl was not in the market
she having got situation in neighbor-
ing city. The people of Cincinnati
don't know even now that the Yankee
Cook Girl was Mrs. Waite, the sensible
and practical wife of the new Chic
Justice, and that her new situation is tc
be the highest in the land-ehief mis-
tress in Uncle Sans household of Law
and Justice.

Very Remarkable Incident.

From Ihe kaSeLna l're--.
One Of the most wonderful incident.
that ever occurred iu this locality hap
pened al rhe residence cf Mr.. Daniel
Buruham. about a mile east OF the cen
Ter of Roosiown, ON Thursday last
While the family were seated at the din
ner table, Mrs. Burnham was seized
with fit of coughing, and while en-
gagged in the operation her tongue be-
came loose at the roots and dropped
from her mouth into her hand. This
is one of the most extraordinary occur
rences of which we have ever seen,
heard or read of a similar circumstance.
The age of Mrs. B. wedo not know, but
