Some Large Families.

Says a writer in AL tie Year Round:
About the year 100 one Lady Elphinstone
died the mother of thirty-six BARNS, of
whom twenty seven were living at one
time. The late Bishop Bathurst, of Nor
wich, was the twenty sixth child of Mr..
Bathurst, youngest brother OF the first
Lord Bathurst. But this is only part OF
the story; for Mr.. Bathurst, who had
twenty-five children by his first wife,
was destined TO have fourteen by his sec
ond, making a good round three dozen
altogether. Rather distinguished in this
way were the Bathursts; for two brothers
and a sister of his had during their re-
spective married lives sixty four children,
which, with his thirty-six, made just an
even hundred. Another married couple,
Thomas and Helen Urquhart, are ranked
among those who have had thirtY-siX
children. The parents lived at Cromarty
Castle in the early part of the sixteenth
century, their twenty-five sons all grew up
TO manhood, and many of them became
distinguished, while the eleven daughters
all lived to be married, and many OF them
TO be the mothers of large families. The
Urquhart blood therefore, must have beeu
rather extensively diffused in Scotland by
the end of the century. An authenticated
afforded by the Greenhill family in the
closing years of the seventeenth century
Thomas Greenhill, a surgeon, afterward
author of treatise on the art of En-
balming," addressed in 1893 memorial
to the Duke Of Norfolk, in his capacity as
Earl Marshal of England: THAT, in con
sideration Of your petitioner being the
seventh son and the thirty ninth child of
one father and mother, your Grace would
be pleased to signalize it by some particu-
lar motto or augmentation in his coat of
armor, to transmit TO posterity so uncom-
mon thing. The College Of Arms, or
Heralds' College, of which the hereditary
Earl Marshal is the official head, assented
to the application of Thomas Greenhill
by granting an addition TO the armorial
bearings of the family. In the language
of heraldry, which is not very Ineligible
TO outsiders, the addition was in the form
of demi- griffin, powdered with thirty ypine

Capt. BOytOn's Water Voyage from
Basle TO StrasbOurg.

Capt. Boyton accomplished his voy-
age from Basle 10 Cologne on the 4th of
last month, task more difficult even than
swimming the British Channel, where at
least he could be accompanied by friends
who could render aid in case of need.
Some newspaper reporters did, indeed,
think of following the intrepid navigator
in a small boat, but the rapidity of the
current prevented them from doing So
The Captain in his narrative says that
when he plunged into the water a mist
was spread over its surface so heavy that
he could see but short distance around.
For several minutes he was whirled along
by the current, and only got with diff
Guilty to his true course where the two
currents Join. After awhile the mist
cleared away and he found himself near
a village by which some workmen were
busy ON the shore. He took the vertical
position and blew his horn, whereupon
the workmen ran away "as if the devil
was afteI ,hem." People whom he met in
boats regarded him askance, refused to
give him any information, and doubtless
thought him supernatural being. Near
Old Brsach he was seized by whirlpool
and was in great fear lest he should be
dragged down by it, but by working en-
ergetically with hands and feet he re-
gained his course. He then rested a mo-
ment to eat and take some brandy, and when
he struck the stream again he was whirled
from right to left and from left to right in
spite OF all his endeavors to go precisely
in the right direction. This lasted for
some hours, when on a sudden the Cap
tain heard noise, which gradually grew
louder and louder, and presentlyhe found
himself pldnging and completely i'm
mersed in ggrgtte 0dSto amid the whirling
waters of branch of the river, but again
emerged and was borne TRANQUILITY back
to the bosom Of the Rhine, having invol-
UNFAIRLY alf-circumnavigated an island.
Thence to Kehl nothing of moment Oc-
CURED, and at nightfall he found himself
still at a distance from StrasboVrg, with
the trees on the banks nOdding at him
like gigantic specters and gradually all
objects becoming indistinct. His posi-
ton was sufficiently perilous, and he had
been enfeebled by the incessant tossings
in whirlpools and eddies. He feared be-
ing dashed against the bridge, from which
he was some meters distant, when he saw
it too late and was thrown with violence
against boat (the bridge is made OF
boats, and he was hurled to the lower
side, where he arrived safely and blew
his horn. A guard soon reached him and
assisted him, so that in a short time he
was in his hotel.-N. Y. Grdphic.

After MANY Yeara.

A touching and strangely romantic In
cident has occurred recently In the history
of a family living on the West Side. A
husband and wife and family have been
reunited after an involuntary estrange-
ment Of fourteen years. The gentleman,
whose name is suppressed az he shrinks
from publicity, was among The first TO re-
spond to the call for troops at the out
break of the rebellion. He enlisted from
town in Wisconsin in which he then re-
sided early in 1861, and since that time no
tidings were heard from him until few
days ago, when he reappeared among the
members of his family who had long
mourned him as dead. The vlcissitudes
of war early threw him into Andersonville
prison, where he endured the privations
and sufierings inflicted upon persons in
carcerated at that place. He remained
there for thirteen months, and the letters
which he constantly addressed his family
probably never passed beyond the prison
gates, as none of them were ever received.
This long-unbroken silence led his wife
and children TO the painful conclusion
that he had fallen in battle, and after
anxious inquiries as to his fate, none of
which ELECTED n response, they mourned
in common with thousands of other wives
and children the loss of the husband and
father who had taken up arms in defense
of his country. At length the lady re-
moved from the Wisconsin village whence
her husband had departed to the wars,
and, after sojourns in several other places,
came to Chicago, where she engaged in
the occupation of dress maker, and where
she has since resided. She remained
widow, and the vicissitudes through
which she struggled TO educate, maintain
and keep her children with her would
make painful story. In the meantime
the husband was liberated from Anderson
vile through an exchange of prisoners,
and, again entering into active service, re-
maincd in the army till the war was ended.
When his regiment disbanded he at once
returned to his former home, there to find
that his family had departed to where
abouts unknown to any of their former
neighbors. lie visited various parts of
the country in search Of them, but all to
no purpose. Homeless, wifeless and
he betook himself to other
lands, and during his wanderings he has
visited nearly every part of the globe. A
few days ago the progress of his aimless
travel brought him to Chicago, where, up
on his arrival, he accidentally heard his
wife was living. He sought and found
her. The scene at the recognition between
the long-separated husband and wife is
not easily depicted. Care and time had
sown silver threads and left its impress
upon the brows of both during the years
of their separation, but the old aflec-
tionate emotions of their hearts the meet
ing called to life again. The family are
once more united, and the happiness of
the future may perhaps lessen the pain of
the recollection Of its absence during the
many years of the past.-ChtcdgO Times.

books and his large medical experience have
brought him into prominence and given
him a solid reputation. The Times, in the
present issue, presents whole-page COM
munication from DIR. Pierce, and our readers
may gain from it some idea of the vast pro-
portions of his business and the merits of
his medicines. He has at Buffalo NAM

The Worlds Dispensary,' where patients
are treated and the remedies compounded.
Here nearly hundred persons are employed
in the several departments and a corps of
able and skilled physicians stand ready to
alleviate the sutferings of humanity by the
most approved methods. These physicians
are in frequent consultation with DIR. Pierce,
and their combined experiences brought to
bear on the successful treatment of obsti-

storms of midwinter. Already the weather
is turning cold, and before long the snow
and slect and northern winds will con-
spire TO envelop us in q biting, arctic at
mosphere. All the signs presage a hard
winter for man and beast Indeed, we
may say that every winter in this region
is hard on horses and cattle, and that good
shelter is absolutely essential to their
comfort and healthy condition. Notwith-
standing this it is much to be regretted
that many Of our farmers permit their
stock to go through the worst of the win
Ter without any protection from the in
clemencies of the weather save such as
they might find under friendly trees or
under the caves of old barns and out
houses. There are others who provide
shelter but in such an inadequate manner
that little comfort is secured to the dumb
beasts. The annual losses in valuable
horses, cows and sheep from exposure to
the SHOWS and sleets of our frigid
winters are much greater than is general
ly supposed, and would figure up to an
amount perfectly astonishing to the entire
country. IN Western Texas last year the
loss of cattle from freezing amounted to
over 81 900, 900 If the storms of winter
bring such fatality TO cattle in country
MntIt Nilt Nlllnult Is usually CtuuDlt anu
temperate, what must we expect in lati-
tude where the thermometer marks twenty
degrees below ZeroY Besides the large
number of animals that actually die there
are thousands either partially or totally
disabled by the influenza, distemper and
various other diseases which are superin-
duced by exposure. Horses are just as
liable to torheumatism, pneumonia and fever
as human beings, and they need protec-
tion from the heat and cold as we'll as we.
Therefore, humanity as well as self-inter-
est requires that no person who has the
care of stock should neglect to secure am
pie sheds for them during cold or stormy
weather, such as will not only protect
them from the rain and SHOWS from above,
but also the fierce, raw winds that prevail
so largely in the West during certain pc
RODS of the winter.
Many farmers entertain the mistaken
idea that all farm animal requires is
plenty of food and water, and that, so
far as shelter is concerned, nature has
provided a skin and physical anatomy
for beasts which defy the rigors of winter
This erroneous belief, coupled with a
consequent failure to properly care for
stock, is the cause of the lameness, Yheez.
ing and general inefficiency of many
plow.horses during the period of spring
plowing. There are, perhaps, few who
are induced, from feelings of parsimony,
to omit to make the necessary outlaws in
building sheds and stables, but we are
constrained to believe that this class is
quite limited, and that the source of so
much suffering among live stock during
the cold season is either the ignorance or
laziness of the owner.
1t is subject entitled to the serious
consideration of all stock-owners, and a
better time than now to begin the reform
could not be elected.-St. Louis Globe

" All Run Down.0

This is an expression that we hear from
doctors when they are in doubt about
the nature of the disease of their patients
The country seems to be filled with such
cases, and they are trying first one remedy
and then another, hoping in vain to find
relief They generally have the following
symptoms: a general depression of spirits,
with evil forebOdings, whirling sensation
in the head when rising up suddenly, foul
breath, with a bad taste in the mouth
especially in the morning, pain in the sides
and back, urine scanty and high colored,
frequently voided with difficulty, frequent
headaches, a distressed feeling at the pit of
the stomach, food affording no nourishment.
The patient feels tired all the while, and
sleep affords but little rest. After time a
dry, hacking cough sets in, followed after q
time with expectoration, hands and feet cold
and clammy at times, general wasting Of
the body. In such cases we need a remedy
that win act upon the liver, Kidneys, stomach
and blood at the same time, and when we
use such remedy it affords relief. The
best article for this purpose is the SHAKER

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

MANY kinds of hardy flowers should be
sown in the fall, not covered but left on
the surface of the ground, to get an early
start next spring.
To EXTRACT ink from colored articles,
drop tallow on the stain, and then soak
and rub the same with boiling milk. 1t
will prove effectual.
SAusAGEs. Forty. pounds Of meat,
three-fourths of pound of salt, three
ounces of black pepper, half an ounce of
sage and tablespoonful Of red pepper.
Do you know that as much saleratus as
can be scooped up on nickel, dissolved
In q tablespoonful of vinegar, and taken
every morning for nine mornings will
cure chillsP Try it.-AmerScdn Farm
Journal.
BOILING in a well-floured cloth will
make meat white. Cloths for this purpose
should be carefully washed and boiled in
clean water between each using, and not
suffered to hang in a damp place, which
would give bad flavor to the meat. The
same applies to tapes and pudding-cloths.
APPLE MARANGE.- Nine largo apples,
peeled and prepared as for apple.sauce,
three tablespoons sugar; cover tight in
sauce pan, when done strain through
colander; beat the yelks of four eggs, mix
with this the Tind of two lemons, put il
in the pudding dish and cover with the
whites beaten to a stiff froth with table,
spoonful of sugar and Juice of one lemon.
Place the whole in the oven until the
marange is slightly Drowned.
To PICKLE SWEET APPLEs.-To one
peck of apples make a sirup of four
pounds of sugar and one quart of vinegar.
Boil the apples in the sirup until tender,
and then take them out and save that
sirup for other sauce. Put the apples in
jar; boil five pounds of sugar and one
quart of vinegar with some cinnamon and
cloves twenty-five minutes, and pour it
hot over the apples. This pickle is deli
cious.
THE FRENCH BoUILLI.-The most COM
mon dish throughout France is piece of
plainly boiled fresh beef, from which the
soup has been partly made and which is
separately served up as bouilli, accom-
panied by strong gravy and minced veg
etables or stewed cabbage. Now this, as
dressed in the French mode, is ever deli
cate, both in fiber and flavor; while in
the usual manner of boiling it 1t is al
most always hard and insipid. The
reason, says that celebrated cook, Careme,
is this: "The meat is put in the pot
with the usual quantity of cold water
and placed at the corner of the fireplace
where, slowly becoming hot, the heat grad
ually swells the muscular fibers of the
beef, dissolving the gelatinous substances
therein contained and disengaging that
portion which chemists term osmazone,'
and which imparts SAVIOR to the flesh
thus both rendering the meat tender and
palatable, and the broth relishing and nu-
tritive; while, on the contrary, if the pot
be inconsiderately put upon too quick
fire the boiling is precipitated, the fiber
coagulates and hardens, the osmazone is
hindered from disengaging itself, and
thus nothing is obtained but piece of
tough meat and broth without taste or
suCCulence.n

An Imitation Experiment.

In Lawrence County, Ohio, there is
furnace community at Ironton, where
there is nothing doing, no demand for
labor, but laborers who must be kept
alive. They offer to work for their board,
but the furnace owners don't like to have
the name Of employing men for their
board and hence they employ them and
issue to them currency" more cur
rency," in fact. The furnace managers
also keep store, and the currency has on
its face this promise TO pay: Furnace
etore-keeper, pay Qaborer's namel $500
in merchandise, less number of cents
punched out on the border" Here you
have more money" "the currency ex-
panded to meet the wants of trade" and
all that sort of thing. Well, what is the
resulty The happy laborer, rejoicing in
the possession of convertible green
back, !" goes to the store 10 convert" it,
and finds the prices so high when paid in
that sort of money that the proceeds of
days labor only pay his board after all
just as though no I" more currency" had
intervened. But his currency is magnifi-
cent. Foreign nations cannot wrest it
from him, even the rival grocery across
the street won't take tit is his own,
created and expanded TO "enliven in
dustry," "meet the wants of trade" and
develop the resources" of this mighty

Some of the Consequences of InfIa-
tiOn.

1t galvanizes into spasmodic life all that
is reckless, imprudcnt and foolish in hui
man nature by infusing the gambling cle-
ment of pure chance into every business
transaction. This it does by the use of a
medium of exchange as unstable in value
as the mercurial column is unstable in
height. 1t creates for its advocates and
dupes a mental strabismus; they look
where there is nothing, and they think
they see something. 1t gives them one
day of the rosiest illusions and week of
the direst disenchantment 1t makes them
spend that which they have not-mortgag-
ing the future for an hour of spendthrift en-
joyment. In the dreams and reyeries ofmen
ii substitutes the unreal for the real in
the looseness of morals which it engen-
ders it makes the supreme good of men to
consist in the rapid accumulation aud
lavish display of wealth. It is the creator
in its victims of an absolute insanity, so
that they regard the very calamities in
herent in its nature as blessings to be
again sought for and enjoyed. 1t leads
the nation, as it does the Individual, into
the straight road to bankruptcy and dis
honor. These results of an irredeemable
inflated currency have been demonstrated
to be true by the experience of every peo-
pie who have tried it, and by none more 30
than by our own.-RepublEc Hagdzine.

4 Good Omen.

1t is gratifying to see so many of the
honest Republicans who went over to the
Liberal party coming back to the ranks
again-satistied that that they cannot feel
"at home" outside of the Republican
party. 1t is their true place, and moth
ing in political life could be more sad
than to see men who had stood in the
ranks Of the party during all its dreadful
struggles with treason and slavery, who
had shared and aided in its triumphs, and
who had helped in demonstrating the
greatness of its mission, retiring from it
before that mission was completed. Now
they come back and find the party steadily
pursuing its grand work-scorning to
waste that strength and influence which
they owe the country in vain councils
with the enemy. They are welcome back
They will now be more steadlast than ever
TO the true political faith.
With wise and consdcrate counsels the
people may yet avert the results which
menace the country. 1t now behooves
every honest and patriotic citizen to put
his shoulder to the wheel at Once-to for
get selt-and to work with will for the
general good. Thank God there is yet
ample time to save the national credit. We
are forewaned; let us, therefore, forearm
ourselves for the great struggle of 1876

ment that money as the standard of values
