The Food We Eat.

Lovers of half-raw beefsteak are per-
haps aware that they have excellent
chanceso of swallowing the Tenid inermiS
in their favorite food, the tenia being q
parasite of the OK which knows how to
make itself perfectly at heme in the hu.
man stomach. Nor, in spite of its dis
tinguishing epithet, is it by any means a
pleasant guest. But DR.. Normand, OF
the French naval medical service, has
made the discovery, as he thinks, of a
still more insidious enemy of man, tc
which he has given the pleasant name OF
AnguilIulG stercordtiS 1t is about 8
quarter of a millimetre in length, and
but for its extreme leanness would bt
visible to the naked eye. 1t is absorbed
into the system either in animal or vege,
table food, and is believed to be the cause
of the terrible disease known as the
Cochin China diarrhea, which has com
mitted fearful ravages among the French
troops stationed in the East, for so long
as the worm remains in the body the
malady continues, and frequently ends
in death. The best remedy hitherto dis.
covered is milk, but it is far from being
so efficacious as could be desired.-Patl

The Mother of the James Brothers.

Last evening Mrs. DR.. Samuels, of Clay
tention of seeking future home in
Texas. A Times representative met
Mrs. Samuels upon the Fort Scott train
just before it started out. She was just
taking farewell of number of her old
friends and acquaintance who had ac-
companied her to the train.
She said she had concluded to take the
advice of the Times, and leave this Sec
tion of the country. She did not know
where she was going, but if there were
those who desired to know where she
was gone, she wished it known that a
letter addressed Mrs. 2. Samuels, Sher-
man, Tex, would find her. AS for her
sons, Frank and Jesse, she had nothing
to say, further than that they were at
least thousand miles from Kansas City,
and were hard at work, making an honest
living.
The old lady seemed rather detected,
and shed few tears as she exhibited
the stump of her arm blown off by the
detectives in one of their raids. She
said: -" l hope shall at last find peace
and rest in the new home hope to find.

was thirteen years ago, when trouble
came upon me and mine. with the war.
My husband was hung by the Federals,
and Jesse, then boy fifteen years old,
was whipped by the same gang until
speechless because he could not tell
where his brother Frank was. AS for
my family, here is all there is of 1t. DR..
Samuels is old and helpless. My little
boy is unable to make living yet. He
is the next to the boy killed by the de-
tectives at the time they threw in that
hand grenade. Then there is my
daughter She was brought home from
school to do the sewing for the family
when lost my arm. Besides these three
helpless members of my family, have
an old darky who has lived with us on
the farm over there in Clay County for
thirty years. She will never leave us;
she is too old to do for herself, and will
not take her freedom. Then l have an
old paralyzed negro belonging to the
family. must keep him as long as he
lives. And then little negro child
adopted by me, and old Aunty, make up
my family. There, you see, are eight of
us, all helpless and all harmless, and
why we must be hunted out of the home
we have lived in for thirty years can
not understand"
The old lady was assured that it was
better for her to leave this section Of the

"I know I'm not grown up, and
oughtnt to have gone to a grown-up
party. never had been at one BEFORE
sobbed Christy, pitifully.
"Why, my poor little girl, l never
thought of laughing at you. You dance
like fairy. Who could have told you
such thingS" he exclaimed, distressed.
No answer All the sorrow of the
past weeks seemed to be crowded into
the moment, and Christy cried as If her
heart would break.
"I'll never go to dance again till l
am a young lady"
Probably il she had been young lady
Mr.. Ross would not have acted just as
he did. In a moment he had taken her
hand, drawn her down on the settee by
his side, and was vainly conjuring her
not to cry.
"It is too hard of you," he pleaded
II have stayed two weeks for no reason
in the world but to see my little river
gypsy again, and now she won't look at
me-"
She did look at him with wide eyes of
wonder.
"Stayed to see mel Oh, you don't mean
so!' -
"Why do you say thatP"
You're laughing at me again, as If l
didn't know"
WellY" was the patient query.
Poor Christy was crimson to the waves
of hair on her forehead, but she finished
bravely from behindher screen of curls--
AS If l didn't know that you are
Bellies beau"
There was pause. If Christy had dared
look up at the young mans face, she
would have seen first bewilderment,
then amusement, then another express
sion harder to define, as he said, rather
mischievously:
Yes, Bells beau-Christabel' beau"
Christy uttered little cry, and hid her
face. Mr.. Ross began to think he should
never see the face again, it was so per.
sistently concealed.
Won't you look at me2 Christy
won't you tell me if have offended

Silence, till he was fain to ask again
won't you tell me whether you care
for meS"
"Oh," was the almost inaudible an
swer, "you know l do"
81 don't know how know. l can't
see anything but your curls, and want
to see your eyes. Christy, your mother
is coming in at the front gate"
The last sentence was effectual Chris
ty sprang to her feet with the idea of es-
Gaping, but found herself detained
:" She is not here yet. Stop just one
moment and tell me if may ask your
mother if she will let you marry me
some day. Christy, may II"
And Christy, blushing like a rose, an
swered low;

That magnificent piece of architecture, the
new Brick NJ. e. Church of Freedonia, erect
ed at a cost of $4,000, was presided over for
two years by that able and eloquent young
divine, Rev. A. N. Craft He was transferred
to Titusville in the autumn of 1873, and
there, as In Fredonia, his eloquent and fear
less sermons are listened to by multitudes
All who have visited the mp-ground on
Chautauqua Lake have been impressed with
the power OF his logic and the beauty of his
speech. From overwork and anxiety con
nected with his mission M. Craft is occa
sionally subject to bilious attacks. Sensible
in this as in all other matters, he does not
hesitate to use for his relief what his judg
ment and experience dictate. Neither is he
willing TO "hide his light under a bushel, y
but speaks out in this, as In other matters
on the side Of truth, in tones that cannot be
understood-though brief, yet to the
point. Here is what he says:

The lovely twilight shadowe;
While fades away departing day
Along the slopes and mcadows.

And in the peaceful valley;
The homely inne within the shine
OF the last sun-rays daily.
~ A softened light ie on the height,
And, with the cleaning blended,
The shine and shade together laid
Tell that the day is ended.
The farewell ray that fades away
Touches the earth with glory,
And bids good night to vale and height,
SO ends the days short story.
Ohour divinei whose softened shine
Precedes the night and shadows,
K Whose mellow light fades from our sight,
Creeping across the meadows;
How softly falls along the walls
The heart's-ease OF thy bringing,
While on the hill the whip-poDr-wili
Its evening song is singing.

Brings back old forms and faces,
And at the hearth our lost Of earth
Fill up the vacant places.

Come at thy gracious calling;
They gather here. our loved, our dear,
While sunset shades are falling.

Along bfe'e track they come not back
At sunsets hour recurring.

Machine Politicians Installed.

In the last few days large number of
employees OF tho Custom House, known or sup
posed to be lukewarm supporters of the party
Of Addition. Division. and silence, have been
summafily dismissed to make room for sub
servient Hayes aud Wheeler voters. The leaders
Ia the various Assembly districts in this city
and Brooklyn received lists OF all the office-
holders credited TO their organizations, with In
structions to inquire Into their antecedents
ana political Affiliations. Those who were
found TO have weak hackers or had failed 20
contribute to Zach Chander's corruption fund,
had sent TO them the stereotyped notice, " You
are Informed that your services are not required
after this date" Among the removed officers
have been several clerks, inspectors, and nieht
wntchmon. who have hitherto been retained
solely because Of their merit and efficiency.
Three OF the number have been regar ed as
among tho best and most capable officers in the
entire revenue service. and their removal has
leen generally denounced by the importers and
steamship owners. None OF the employees who
got their appointments under the civil service
rule in 1873 nave been spared. Their places have
