Justin Mccarthy.

Justin Mccarthy, whose death is an
nounced by cable, from London, though
first and last journalist, was chiefly
knownin this country as magazinist and
novelist. He was born at Cork, in 1880,
but after receiving a liberal education,
became attached in 1858 to Liverpool
paper, removing thence in 1860, to Lon
don, where he at first served as Parlia-
mentary reporter for the London Morning
Star, but three or four years later was
made its chief editor, resigning that posi-
ton, in 1868, to visit this country. Here
he spent three years in extensive travel,
meanwhile contributing tales, sketches,
etc, to the Galaxy and other'periodicals.
His first novel, "The Waterdale Neigh
bors, appeared in 1867, and since then he
has published several others which have
received considerable critical attention.
His last work of this kind, Miss Nissan
thrope," has been for some time appear
ing as a serial in the Galaxy. OF late
years Mr.. Mccarthy, who was Liberal
of the Radical order in politics, had been
engaged as political writer on leading
London journal, vigor of thought and
clearness of expression marking his work.
He was invited, in 1874, to stand as a
Radical candidate for either of two Irish
burroughs, but having no hunger for
parliamentary honors, declined.

I think better than those boiled, besides
being healthier. Make them in the same
way as those for boiling; place them in a
baking pan with small Jumps of butter
and grated nutmeg on each this makes
them brown nicely. To be eaten with
cream, sugar and nutmeg.
Relief for Frosted Feet.--For frosted
feet, take pure faxseed oil, battle your
feet, and heat in by the fire well before
going to bed; wrap some old cloths
around the feet to keep the oil from rub
ing off, and battle again in the morning.
A few applications will remove all sore
ness and itching.
Delm0nicO Hash.-Take cold roast
lamb or mutton; throw away the fat
portions; chop very fine, and add water
enough to make it quite thin; boil in
frying-pan; add butter, salt, and pepper,
to suit taste; have ready hot toast which
has been well buttered and dipped into
cream or rich milk, and spread the
hash over the toast, and serve immedi-
ately.
Kentucky Corn Cakes Take one
quart of corn-meal and two tablespoon
fuls of common wheat -four (not pre-
pared) add salt to taste, and mix thor
oughly with sufficient quantity of but
termilk to form better. Next melt a
heaping tablespoonful of lard, stir it
with the batter well, and bake on hot
griddle, pouring them thin. By this re-
ceipt the full flavor of the corn-meal is
obtained, unmixed with the taste of mo-
lasses, which some people mistakenly
deem necessary to cause the cakes to
bake brown.

BREVITLES.

Hay sprinkled with little chloride
of lime and left for an hour in closed
room will remove the smell of new
paint.
Unpuritled petroleum at the rate of
two ounces per quart of water, destroys
all kinds of insects even rats and mice
cannot resist when the solution is
sprinkled in their vicinity. Domestic
animals, if washed with it, and soaped
few days later, will be freed from
vermin
For cattle that cannot raise their cud, >.
hold three or four at time of ordinary
sized stalks of white pithed elder be-
tween the grinders; pass them up as
they grind them; keep the animals
grinding the elders for ten or fifteen
minutes; then put some small ears of
corn or little hay into their mouths.
Few if any cases occur that timely APP
plication will not cure. Cattle that have
lost their cud are not likely to take food
into their mouths.
Offensive breath can be easily got rid
of, for six or eight drops of the concen-
trated solution of soda in a wineglassful
of pure fresh water, taken Immediately
after the additions of the morning are
completed, will sweeten the breath by
disinfecting the stomach, which, far
from being injured, will be benefited by
the medicine. If necessary, this may be
repeated in the middle of the day In
some cases the odor from carious teeth is
combined with that of the stomach. If
the mouth is well rinsed with teaspoon
full of the solution of the chloride in
tumbler of water, the bad odor of the
teeth will be removed.
Direct experiments by Durham,
Hammond and others show that sleep in
the brain is promoted by absence of
blood therefrom. This is proved also,
indirectly, by the greater quantity of
blood which circulates in the skin and
extremities during sleep, because there
is greater radiation of heat from the
skin. Whatever tends to abstract blood
from the brain favors sleep; hence, diges-
ton tends to cause sleep, as do hot
drinks, ETC., by drawing the blood sup
ply from the brain to the stomach. So,
conversely, whatever tends to keep up
the activity of the brain cells and the
circulation, tends to prevent sleep; this
being, therefore, the effect of any stimu-
lus applied to the senses, sights, sounds
thought, anxiety and the like, while the
opposite tends to favor sleep.

GLEANZNGS FROM THE MUSE.
A PORTRAIT.
BY CLARENCE cooK.

know not wherein lay the charm
She had in those remembered days.
The Olympian gait the welcoming hand,
The frank soul looking from her face.
The manly manners all her own
Nor yet coquette nor cold, nor free:
She puzzled, being each in turn;
Or dazzled, miagling all the three.
Out of those gowns, so quantity rich
They grew, unshaped by Milan's shears!--
Rose, like tower, the ivory throat
Hinged with the rings the Clytie wears.
But, when you sought the Roman face
That on such columns grew--and growsl
You found this wonder in its stead
The sea-shelPs curves, the sea-shelPs rose!
Her eyes, the suecory's way-side blue;
Her lips, the wilding way-side rose
But, beauty dreamed prouder dream,
Throned on her forehead's moonlit SHOWS.
And over all, the wreathed hair
That caught the sunsets streaming gold,
Where, now, a crocus bud was set,
Or violet, hid in the braided fold
But, she, so deep her conscious pride,
So sure her knowledge she was fair
What gowns she wore, or silk, or serge,
She seemed 10 neither know, nor care.
She smiled on cat, or frowned on friend,
Or gave her horse the hand denied.
To-day bewitched you with her wit,
Tomorrow snubbed you from her side.
Loyal to TRUTH yet wed to whim,
She held in fee her constant mind.
Whatever tempests drove her bark,
You felt her souls deep anchor bind.
In that dark day, when, fever driven,
Her wits went wandering up and down,
And seeming cruel, friendly shears,
Closed on her girl-htad's glorious crown,
Another woman might have wept
To sec such gold so idly spilled.
She only smiled as curl and coil
Fell, till the shearer's lap was filed;
Then softly said: " Hair-sunsets fade
As when night clips days locks Of gold
Dear Death, thy priestly hands / bless,
And, nun-like, seek thy convent foldp'
Then slept, nor woke.
o niser Death,
What gold thou hidest in thy Dust
What ripest beauty there decays,
What sharpest wits there go to rust
Hide not this jewel with the rest
Base gems whose color fled thy breath
But worn on thine imperial hand,
Make all the world in love with DEATH
