the Indignation, the sorrow, the sense of

CHICKEN SALAD.-The fowls should be
young and fine, and may be either boiled
or roasted. They must be quite cold. Dis
joint the fowls, and reject all the skin and
fat; cut the meat from the bones in small
pieces about an inch square; wash and
thread white celery, and cut up in the
same sized pieces as the fowl. You need
to use nearly as much celery as neat. Cut
also in small pieces o little lettuce, and
mix the three well together. You can
make the dressing by taking the yolks of
eight hard boiled eggs, one teaspoonful fine
salt, the same Of cayenne, two tablespoon
fuls of made French mustard, a gill OF
vinegar or lemon juice, and ten table,
s%poonfuls Of sweet oil. Mix these ingre-
dents thoroughly Together With : wooden
spoon, until they are quite smooth. The
dressing should not be put On until Just
before sending to table, as it Wits the Gel

A Horrible Existence.

Peter Larkin, the convicted murderer
of Daniel Corcoran, who has now been
in Jail for sixteen months, heavily
ironed, has a weary time OF IT, and
minute description of his daily life must
fill one with pity for any human being
30 placed, no matter what his crimes
NAV have been. His cell is a badly ven
tilated wooden box, air being admitted
only from small hole in the top and an
8xl2 wicket in the door. The box is IS
dark at noon as at midnight, and the
only light furnished is tallow candle.
Each day he is allowed to leave the cell
and walk up and down the corridor for
a short time, dragging his shackles with
him. This is called exercise. Once IN
way, as an especial favor, the jailer
opens the door and let's him into the
outer apartment. Here Larkin can re-
gale his eyes with the daylight AMI
watch through the window the people
passing on the street. The fri nds Of
the prisoners are allowed to bring them
Eastern and San Francisco ne wspapers,
and they thus manage to while away
many a weary hour. But Larkin cannot
read, and he has only his pipe and his
own horrible thoughts for company.
There is dog that makes his home III
the Jail, and the murderer, when allowed
TO have the animal in his cell, spends
hours in petting and playing with his
four-footed friend. 1t is his only amuse-
ment and he aver tires of it. He is
now buoyed up Win the hope that his
friends will save him from the gallows
and succeed in getting his sentence com
muted to Imprisonment for life. His
jailers sa y that he hopes for lifelong
cell in the State prison as ardently az
other men long for riches and all the
pleasures they give.-GOld Hill (Nev.)

The Trade Dollar.

II is curious fact that the trade dol
lar, which, six months ago, would not
be taken even at a discount of 10 per
cent. on the Pacific slope, is now at o
premium of per cent. A San Fran.
cisco broker thus explains the situation
"The trade dollar is simply a piece of
refined and stamped bullion, and is so
looked upon by dealers. The price of
this piece of money, or rather its valua
ton, is fixed by the price of silver in
London. II silver tumbles, then down
go the trades with it, and if silver goes
up the trade dollars follow. The reason
of the trade-dollar scare last spring was
owing wholly to the condition of the
London silver market and the great un-
certainty then existing as to the effect of
the demonetizing of silver by Germany
to the amount of several hundreds of
millions. AS soon as the price went
down here they were eagerly bought up
by spectators and held for the China
and India trade, and suddenly disap-
peared from circulation. Now the coin
has in large measure been shipped,
and the rise in silver and the appreciated
value of trades has led people to inquire
for them again. Should silver continue to
rise in London the trades will command
a slight premium, and their value as
refined bullion will result in every one
of them being exported that can he
found. There will always be demand
for trade dollars in China and India"

Rum Did 1t.

James Plat, the convicted policeman,
sat sullenly on his couch, his eyes fixed
on a spot on the floor. His position was
indicative of meditation, and his pale
face was filed with an agony certain TO
elicit sympathy. He shook hands trem-
blingly. For while the unhappy man
sat silently. Then, to an inquiry, he re-
piled : You see, was irresponsible at
the time the unfortunate event occurred
that put me into this hole, and was
aggravated beside by Craig. twas rum
did it, not /.
The murderer then sank into melan-
choly meditation, which afforded the re-
porter time to look about the cell. A
simple bed, chair, and small table are
the only furniture. The table was Gov
cred with books brought by Platt's
spiritual visitor, and by the members Of
his family. Asked with reference to the
books, Plat replied: eyes, they are
trophies of friendship. My mother
brought them to me. This one was
brought by my good minister"
Theh the unfortunate man reverted
again to his condition with the words
"Rum did it. If my fate sbould be
most dreadful, oh, that every young
man might learn from my end lesson
in life. PhiLodelphia Item.
