London literati were scandalized
recently by a bit of drunken frenzy
on the part of that erotic and erratic
poet, Algeruon Charles Swinburne.
1t was nothing less than a wholesale
raid on the hats of the gentlemen
Of his club. 1t seems that when
that gifted wooer ofthe Muse sought
his tile, the pleasures of the evening
over, it was not to be found. En-
ragged by the prospect of going home
bare-headed he fell to kicking all the
hats he could lay his hands to-feet,
rather. In a very short time they
were hopelessly ruined, and had it
not been for the large charity ex-
tended to the ''eccentricities of
genius" the irate poet would have
been a tatterdemalion. As it was he
was hustled into a cab and driven
home, only, however, to wake up and
find himself famous-thanks to news
paper enterprise. Was his offense
venal or mortal? This grave ques-
ton is now under consideration be
fore the British court of public
opinion.

Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, was
the scene of another d~isgraceful row
last Wednesday evening. There
we're present Messrs Beechcr, Bowen
father and son, Sherman, Howard
and Ward, besides many others, in
Guiding Mrs. Stowe. The object of
the meeting was to consider the re-
port recommending the expulsion of
Bowen for ''prevarication and other
such conduct" In the course of the
tempestuous proceedings, Mr.. Beech
err declared that all his troubles with
Bowen grew out of business matters
never a word about "moral turpi-
tude," which is the latest name for
it. Thereupon Bowen facing the
audience declared that no man but a
lunatic could imagine that he could
trump up charges against Beecher.
He would get into jail in twenty
four hours if he did. After a little
more of this sort oftalk, Mr.. Beecher
exclaimed, 81 am charged with a
monstrous crime" whereupon Ward
who is editor of the Independent,
chimed in, sand you..are guilty oft"
That was the match that fred the
mine. An explosion followed which
blew Ward out of doors in a twinkle.
Put him out" was the cry, and out
he was hustled, barely having tins
to file a demurrer against exclusion,

New York has a divorce lawyer who
can double-discount any Chicago
shyster of that breed. 1t was proved
the other day that one Baldwin in
duced a lady to meet him on a pre-
text of professional services at a
hotel in that city, registered himself
MS james II. Baldwin and wife, and
then tried to get divorce for her
husband ON the ground that she was
at the hotel with him for a guilty
purpose. Never was the 'strue in
wardness'' Of total d%epravity more
strikingly illustrated. The Judge
reprimanded the monster, but We
hear of no proceedings to debar hin
from practice.

that he appeared as counsel for
Bower, aud had 4 right to make the
remark, but '.get out was the re-
sponse- Soon after the meeting laid
on the table the motion to expel
Bowen, and adjourned until week
from then, when the delightful sub
iect will be resumed.

Russian Immigrants.

The most prominent objects in TOpek
Just now are the newly-arrived Russians
They are somewhat different in their ap
pearance and character from their Men
MONTE fellow -citizens in other matters be
sides their religion. They are German il
blood and language, being German colo
nists in Russia or their descendants, bu
they hail from the Government of Sama
ra, on the Volga, a long distance from tn
district in extreme Southern Russia
which has furnished Mennonite immigra
ton. We Judge that in the Volga cOun
try dogs are not as seduously cultivated
as they are in Kansas, but that the dos
industry is neglected in favor of sheep
raising, At any rate these Russians q
heavy on, sheepskin as wearing4materiAl
The aristocracy wear long sheepskin coats
with skins like a womans dress, which
reach nearly to their heels. On the tor
of this coat is erected a sheepskin collar,
which reaches to the upper edge of their
ears. A round cloth cap, shaped like a
sausage in form, known as the "dabs, u
covers the head of the Russian gentle
man. All of the person not covered with
sheepskin and cloth cap is covered with
high-legged boots of the most substan-
tial character. Arrayed in this costume
our Russian friends might move unharmed
through the midst Of an Irish row-the
flying brickbats rebounding without eff
fort from their sheepskin armor.
AS laborers, the Russians, so far, do not
appear to have 'struck their gait" Some
Of them were sent down to work in the
Carbondale mines, but failed on account
OF the antipathy felt for them by their
co-laborers, the mules. Those coats got
away with the long ears. The frightened
mules stampeded whenever. one of the
long-tailed sheepskin envelopes with a
Russian inside it approached, or if driven
into corner the mules stood on their de-
fense, and kicked every Russian who
came within range.
But the Russians can sing. Every
night they gather in font of the Topeka
House, or around the big paving rock at
the corner, and sing and sing and sing.
The women and girls never join in the
melodies; all the singing is done by men
and boys, the shrill voices of the latter
Ginning in strangely with the heavier
notes of the men. Nearly all their melo-
dies have q strangely plaintive character.
The words are German, but the music is
unlike anything else we have heard, re-
sembling most the airs sung by the Rus
sian imperial singers, a troupe which visit.
ed Kansas some years ago.
Wesuppose the Russian will soon be alb
sorbed in the mass Of our population, and
first the sausage-shaped caps will disap-
pear; then those charming zsphyrs, which
come across the prairies like the balmy
breath of burning brick-kiln, will cause
a shedding Of those Brian OHM coats !;
then in the course of four or five years
those massive boots will disappear, and
the Russian will have nothing to dis
tinguish him from the rest of mankind,
except possibly his habit of travelling
around armed and equipped with an iron
teakettle. - Topeka (KaHsds) Common

How to Save Your Ewes.

When will those working by lamp-light
have the sense to understand the use of
shades to protect the eyes2 We see per-
sons sitting holding their sewing or
other work before and near to lamp,
while the light is blazing full into their
eyes. 1t is plain that the object that
they work upon cannot be seen with so
great distinctness while the field of their
retina is already occupied by blaze.
But they work on for hours, and though
the next morning their visual organs tell
Of the abuse by redness and Inflammation,
the workers are too dull to learn the les
son of experience offered them. Circular
paper shades can be obtained for a few
cents, and those not only protect the
eyes from the excess of light, but serve
as reflector behind the blaze, increasing
the illumination one-.ialf. Besides the
aforementioned evil, there is that of the
varying quantity of light thrown into
the eye By its being suddenly and alter
nately directed toward the blaze or OBJ
liquely away from it, by which the pu-
pill has not time to adapt itself to the in
crease of glare; whereas, with the shade,
the illumination would be uniform. The
number of persons in the community
having spots light or dark, in their field
of vision, arising from injury to the ret
ina by the ill usages which we are
mentioning, is greater than is COM
monty imagined. 1t must be borne In
mind that these spots are serious step
toward amaurosis and gutta serena, such
as plunged in darkness the latter years
of the great Milton, and many Others
more eminent for their talents than their
caution.

The Western Landlord.

Not long since two York men visited
Kansas. They stopped at aNhotel one
forenoon, and after dinner one of them
walked down to the BARRIERS shop to get
shaved. The shop was shut, the barber
having gone off to take his after-dinner
nap. Then the York man walked back
to his landlord and said, "With your
magnificent country, which is the garden
of the world, you ought to be the most
prosperous people on earth. That you
are not, is due to the fact that you don't
attend to business. You don't look out
for coppers. Here's your barber now,
shut up and gone when he might have
earned ten cents by shaving me. Now
he don't get it, for I'm going to shave
myself, and save my ten cents. have
a razor in my valise, and if you will
show me a mirror, will shave myself"
The landlord said the barber was shift
less cuss, who, like most Western men,
compare with Pennsylvania for
attention to business, and patience in
scooping in the dimes; but he hoped
they would all improve in time, and
then he showed our friend into a room
where he found good-sized mirror, and
shaved himself. Soon after he Joined
his companion, and congratulated him
self on the success he had in saving ten
cents, and teaching Western men fnan-
ciering. After tea the pair paid their
bills and went to the depot to take the
train. On the way the man who hadn't
shaved said, pretty reasonable house,
that; only a dollar for dinner and sup
per-" "0nly dollar" said the other,
. why paid dollar and half" and a
little further explanation showed that he
had been charged fifty per cent. more
han his companion. So back he went,
and demanded of the landlord an ex-
and got it in these words,
The fifty cents extra is for the use Of a
-oom. You don't suppose we can have
lur rooms turned into barber shops for
nothing, do you Z" And the maA who
shaved himself went to the depot, a sad
der if not better man. He don't brag
much of his adventure since his return to
York, and it will be some time before he
,dmpts to give another Western man

Scottish Horses.

An English writer In a recent article
on Scotch and English farming, says OF
the Clydesdsle horses:
Although Scotch farmers generally have
something to learn from their English
brethren in the management of cattle
and sheep and require to improve consid-
erably In the selection and style Of their
hacks and harness horses, they stand al
most unrivalled in the breeding and man
agement of their cart horses. There is
no better farmers horse than the Clydes-
dale. He has the power in the right
place; he can move off smartly with two
tons behind him; he walks four miles an
hour; trots, if need be, seven or eight; is
active and hardy; his feet are sound and
good, and Mr.. Pickford and others who
use many horses in large towns assure me
that no horses stand the work of the
stones like the Clydesdales, and none
bear up so we'll against the rough usage
and buffeting to which these big, will
ling van horses are so often subjected.
The heaviest and most valuable Clydes-
dales are bred within about 29 miles of
Glasgow; their style and usefulness have
of late years been improved by breeding
them with finer and less hair about the
legs. 1t is the hay of the ClydesdAles
that enables the Scotch farmer to over
take his work with 50 few horses. With
nearly double the area of arabic land, the
agricultural returns show that in Scot
land there are SO, in England AZ horses
per 100 acres. Three horses are consid-
cred amply sufficient to work 100 acres Of
medium land under four or five course
rotation. The horses are invariably
worked in pairs, pillow an acre day and
are used in single and double carts.
Wagons are unknown in Scotland.

Not DemOnstrative.

When youth provides home for his
mother--she widow, perhaps-and sees
that her material wants are ministered to,
he thinks he has done all, perhaps more
than all, that is required OF him. But she
feels that there is lack; she knows that
her boy seldom gives her caress, he has
forgotten all those affectionate ways that
kept the wrinkles from her face, and
made her look so much younger than her
years; he is ready to put his hand In his
pocket to crafty her slightest request
but to give of the abundance of his heart
is another thing entirely. Of course he
loves her, else he would do less TO pro-
mote her comfort; but he does not know
how the mother heart Graves an occa-
sionAl kiss, the support of youthful arms,
the little attentions and kindly courte-
sizes of life, that smooth down so many OF
its asperities, and make the journey less
wearisome. Material aid isgoOd rs far as
il goes, but il has not that sustaining power
which the loving sympathetic heart be-
slows upon its object. Love your mother,
my boy, and don't be ashamed to let the
world know it. Can you begrudge few
extra steps for one who never stopped to
number those you demanded during your
helpless infancyi Have you the heart to
slight.her requests or treat her remarks
with indifference, when you cannot be-
gin to measure the patient devotion with
which she bore with your peculiaritiesi
Anticipate her wants, invite her conf
dence, be prompt, to offer assistance, ex
press your affection as you did when a
child, that the mother may never grieve in
secret for the e'son she has lost.

MINCEMEAT.-Boil five pounds of lean
and juicy beef until tender, and, while
boiling, keep closely covered. When
cool, chop very fine. Chop we'll three
pounds of nice beef suet, stone three
pounds OF raisins, and chop, three pounds
well-washed and dried currants, two
pounds of citron, cut into thin slices.
Crate the rind of six fresh lemons, two
tablespoonfuls of cinnamon, four good
sized nutmegs, grated, one teaspoonful of
ground white ginger, one teaspoonful of
salt; chop finely fourteen good-sized pip
pins. Mix these well together. IF ne
cessary, use more apples. Put in stone
pot; cover it with good French brandy
and wine. This must be kept in cool,
dry place.
To Cook CODFIsH.-Cut up your fish,
put it on the fire in cold water and let it
heat very gradually, but it must not get
too hot; in about an hour scrape the fish
very clean and get of all the skin, then
put it in clean, cold water; peel your
potatoes and put them on with the fish
and plenty of water in season for them
to get to boiling in time to be done for
dinner; the potatoes are much better for
boiling with the fish. l have seen fish
soaked until it was quite tasteless. 1t
should be served with drawn butter or
pork cut fine and fried light brown,
boiled eggs, onions, beets and squash, or
stewed pumpkin.
A CURE FOR CANCER.-Four different
cases have been permanently cured by
the following prescription; A pure arti
Gle of white vitriol; pulverize fine; put
on the cancer about the thickness OF a
common knife-blade, renewed every two
hours. 1t may, perhaps, take from six
to ten days to kill it. Whenever it is
thoroughly killed you can take the point
of needle and lift it out, but so long as
you find root holding, apply the vitriol
to it until it is killed. Spread the vitriol
on thick linen cloth, or buckskin. or
other soft leather.
BREAKFAST -Housekeepers
will value this receipt as dainty substi-
tute for bread at breakfast or tea: Two
eggs well beaten, with one cupful of su-
gar and lump of butter the size~of an
egg; to this add one pint of milk, with
one teaspoonful of soda, one quart of
-four, and two teaspoonfuls of cream tar
tar; bake in muffin rings on top of the
range, or in gem pans in a quick oven.
COOKING CELERY. "A correspondent
of the american Farmer says that cooked
celery is an everyday dish on his table
in the winter, and sometimes late into
spring. he gives the process as follows
"Cut on the unbleached part; cut the
bleached up in pieces about two inches
long; parboil until tender, then stir in
milk and butter, with salt and pepper to
