eat but one meal a day; that about noon.
They fill their bowls with maize meal or

Lord Stradbroke, in a letter to the
TsmAs, calls attention to the trade in
pheasants eggs. and expresses his Opinion
that "in all cases the receiver is worse
than the thief" He states that recently
box containing pheasants' eggs was sent
from station in East Suffolk, addressed
to the gamekeeper of noble earl in
Scotland; 81 can PROVE" says he, "that
such boxes are often sent by notorious
receiver to different places in England.
He keeps very few hen pheasants, and
sells thousands Of eggs" His lordship
adds How any person, assuming to be
II gentleman, and perhaps sitting on the
Bench in Petty Sessions, can purchase
such eggs, and at the same time punish
poacher for sharing hares, or netting
winged game, is beyond my cov,prehen-
sion. They know we'll that the London
dealers purchase nearly all they sell from
country receivers of the worst possible
character" The law does not permit a
gamekeeper to search an egg-stealer, even
if he finds him in the middle of covert.
The nefarious trade will only cease when
game preservers discontinue to purchase
pheasants' eggs, except from Legitimate
dealers who raise them in their own
pheasantries.

The Diamond Necklace.

Parisians are. as rule, fond of spend
ing money, and like to make q great
show IN the result: but sometimes their
spendthrift habits force them to resort to
odd shift, to retrieve themselves. Some
years ago, well known gentleman of
fashion called upon his jeweller with two
necklaces, one of diamonds, the other OF
paste, but exactly alike. The jeweller at
once recognized the diamonds, for he had
sold them to the grandmother of the gen.
tleman's wife. The gentleman said: II
want you to examine carefully these two
necklaces; one of them is made Of dia-
monds, the other of paste. wish you
would make the paste look SO precisely
like the diamonds that nobody can tell
the difference between them. You would
oblige me by buying the diamonds. The
paste necklace shall put in my wife's
casket whence I have taken the dia-
monds.' The jeweller was embarrassed.
He knew the gentleman to be great
gambler, and that if he refused to take
part in the proposed transaction the gen.
tleman would 90 elsewhere and find less
scrupulous jewellers; so he asked twenty
four hours time t. compare the two neck
laces. This was granted and he inmedi-
ately went to the grandmother with a
statement of the facts, and asked her ad-
vice. The grandmother replied: "Give
him the ten thou sand dollars he wants,
and keep the paste necklace for me. In
this way my granddaughter will not wear
paste, and her husband will not be
tempted to sell her diamonds again" A
few months afterward the wife come,
bringing the diamond necklace. She
said: II owe my mantua-maker y large
sum of money. want you to make me
a paste necklace so exactly like this that
nobody, especially my husband least of
anybody, will detect the substitution of
paste for diamonds" The jeweller re-
piled that he thought he could execute
her order, but asked for twenty-four
hours before returning definite answer.
He visited the grandmother and related
the foregoing dialogue. The grand
mother said: "Pay her the money she re-
quires and give her the diamond neck
lace and bring me the paste. So my
granddaughter will wear diamonds, and
neither she nor her husband will again
be tempted to sell the necklace, for they
will both be certain it's paste" That
grandmamma was fairy godmother in
disguise.

HEALTHFULNEss OF MILK.-If any
one wishes to grow deshy, u pint of milk
taken before retiring at night will soon
cover the scrswniest bones. Although
nowadays we see a good many fieshy
females, there are many lean and lank
ones who sigh for the faslio nable meas
ure of plumpness, and who would be
vastly improved in health aud appear
ance could their figures be rounded with
good, solid flesh. Nothing is more COW
eted by thin women than full figure,
and nothing will rouse the ire and pro-
woke the scandal Of the ''clipper builds
as the consciousness of plumpness in q
rival. In cases Of fever and summer
complaint, milk Is now given with ex-
cellent results. The idea that milk is
"feverish" has exploded, and it is now
the physicians great reliance in bringing
through typhoid patients, or those in too
low state to be nourished by solid food.
1t is mistake to scrimp the milk
pitcher. Take more milk and buy less
meat. Look to your milkman, have
large-sized, well-hlled milk pitchers on
the table each meal, and you also will
have sound flesh and save doctors bills.

happened to speak to the Car about the
"most considerable persons" at his
court.
understand, SIR" said Paul, "that
there is no considerable person here,
except the one to whom l am speaking,
and while am speaking to him."
This was the despOtism which it soon
became necessary TO "temper by assas-
sination," as the French wit said. 1t
seems there are now 653, 200 "hereditary
mobiles" in Russia. 373,00O "personal no.
bles," 696 000 persons belonging to the
clerical classes, 4,76S, 900 to the military
classes, and that the rural population
makes solid mass Of "a ,000, ,0OO-while
in the whole empire there are only 153-,
l35 foreigners. Among the peasants the
common style OF address at a public
meeting is not "Gentlemen," or "Fel-
iow-ciLIZens," but "Ye orthodox"
Heresy is crime in Russia, unless
man is a native-born hereto, like the
Mahometans-but an orthodox Chris
tlan may believe anything, and scarcely
need 30 to church at all. Yet there is
plenty Of fanaticism and blgVtry in the
country.

VANCEBURG, KY, June 21.-There is
great excitement here over the report
of a severe fight in the interior of this
county, on Monday, between two rival
factions of half desperadoes. George
W. Stamper commanded one party and
George Underwood the other. Twenty
five men under Stamper, and about the
same number under Underwood, Sr.,
met on Laurel, and "had 1t out" with
guns. Some horses had been stolen
from Stamper, whereupon he organized
vigilance committee, and went In pur-
suit of the suspected offender. He found
him on Laurel, about seventeen miles in
the interior, among the kinniconnic
Mountains, and opened fire with direst
effect, wounding G. Underwood, Sr., in
the head, Alexander Pendulum in the
hips, and another man, whose name our
informant did not know, was shot
through the body, and had not yet been
found. Still later advices say there was
some seventy men engaged on each side,
that nine were killed, among whom was
the notorious George Underwood.
