Chinese Cookery.

Americans who have dined with the
Chinese r surprised at the perfection
to which they have carried their cook
ing. During a recent Chinese banquet
at San Francisco, an orange was laid
at the plate of each guest. The orange
itself seemed like any other orange,
but on being cut open was found to
contain within the rind five kinds Of
delicious %jellies. One was at first puz-
zled to explain how the jellies got in,
and, giving up that chain of reflection,
was in q worse quandary to know how
the pulpy part of the orange got out.
Colored eggs were also served, in the
inside of which were found nuts, %jellies,
meats and confectionery. When one
of the Americans present asked the
interpreter to explain this legerdemain
of cookery, he expanded his mouth
in a hearty laugh, and shook his head
and said: "Melican man heap smart,
why he not findee out"

Iron Railway Sleepers.

A contract has just been let at Am
sterdam for the delivery Of 10000 iron
sleepers to the Netherland State rail-
roads. Three Belgian firms-the Mar
cinelle and Couilet, the Sclessin and
the Monceau sur-Sambre-took part in
the competition; but some German
works-the Phoenix at LIAR, near Rah-
rort-carried off the contract. The
price named in the accepted tender was
e6,499, the 10000 sleepers weighing
about 800 tons. 1t should be observed,
however, that the sum named in the
contract comprises the delivery and
laying Of the sleepers, so that the price
of the sleepers at the German works
may be estimated at about g5 per ton.
The Monceau sur-Sambre company
came very neal the accepted tender, the
difference having been only e32. The
sleepers to be laid on the Netherlands
State lines are on the Vautherin says
TEN, 10000 of which were recently
tried on the Belgian State system, and
rejected after a careful trial. 1t is,per-
haps, a little strange that the Dutch
authorities did not take account of this
circumstance. 1t is stated that the
Great Central Belgian Railway Com
pany contemplates a total discontinue
ton of wooden sleepers upon its sys-

Some years since lin 1870, Emily
Faithful reported for the Revolution
the following extract from a lecture on
WAR" addressed to the Royal Mill
tary College by Mr.. Ruskin. The dis
tinguished lecturer addressed these
earnest sentences to English woman
then present: "You may wonder, per-
haps, that l have spoken this night in
praise of war, but truly, if it might be,
l for one, would fain join the cadence
of hammer strokes that should beat
swords into plowshares, and that this
cannot be is not the fault of us men. 1t
is your fault-wholly yours. Only by
your command, or by your permission,
a any contest take place among us.
And the real final reason for all the
poverty, misery and rage of battle
throughout Europe is simply that you
women, however good and religious,
however self-sacrifcing for those whom
you love, are too selfish and too thought
less to take pains for any creature out
of your immediate circles. You fancy
you are sorry for the pains of others.
Now, l must tell you this: that if the
usual course of war, instead of unroof-
ing peasants houses and rayaging peas
ants fields, merely broke China upon
your own drawing-room tables, no war
in civilized countries would last a
week -

Humors Of Smuggling.

A writer in Chambers Journal says:
The chief evidence of smuggling as it
has existed within the present century
is furnished by certain articles which
have been seized from time to time, and
which are now lodged in the Custom
House Museum. 1t is to this museum
that we now intend to direct our
readers attention, and more especially
to a certain large cabinet in the r
of the room, the contents of which sup
ply a title to this article. The first
thing which is pointed out to us is a
ships s'fender," which we may remind
our readers is a block of wood with a
rope attached, slung over the bows to
prevent the abrasion which might be
caused by contact with another vessel.
This particular fender was found to be
hollow, and to contain several pounds
of compressed tobacco. The officer who
thought of looking for the soothing
weed in such a receptacle must have
been an extremely cute individual. But
here is a still more extraordinary hiding
place, and one which must have in
volved a journey aloft for its detection
"a ships block, the sheave or wheel of
which is actually made of solid tobacco.
Here is an ornamental pedestal which
once adorned the corner of a Captains
cabin, and would perhaps adorn it still,
had it not been found gorged with
contraband cigars. Another commaIl-
der appears to have been a more mod
crate smoker, for he was content with
only two pounds of cheroots, which
were found inside a sham loaf on his
breakfast table. Here we have a
number of cigars knotted singly on a

wore dropped between the inner and
outer timbers of a ships side, whilst
holes drilled in the ends of an egg-box
furnish lodgings for several more.
A broomstick does not at first
sight to offer much room for conceal
ment, but here is one which, acciden-
tally broken, revealed a core of that
ropelike commodity known to those
who chew the weed as ''pigtail." Cakes
of tobacco formed to fit IN the sole of a
boot, show another ingenious mode of
disposal. But the prize for inventive
talent must certainly be awarded to the
clever rascal who compressed snuff into
slabs, and stamped them to exactly
initiate the oil cakes on which cattle
are fattened. Whether the discovery
of the deception was owing to moral
objections on the part of some expert
enced COW to chew anything stronger
than cud does not transpire; but the
real nature of the food vas somehow
a~scertained, and what might have
proved the staple Of a lucrative trade,
was transformed into the original dust
from which it sprung. ....
The stewardness of a New Jersey
steamer is the next delinquent who
comes before our notice. On various
occasions the petticoat has been found
to be a useful auxiliary to the smuggler,
and the one which was taken from this
lady sufficiently proves the truth of our
remark, for twenty-seven pounds of
tobacco were hidden in its folds. Two
more garments of the same nature con-
tanned respectively eighteen and
twenty pounds of cigars; whilst another,
with the help of q number of fish
bladders hanging from the waistband,
was charged with several gallons of
brandy. Bladders of cognac have also
been found attached to a ships keel,
several feet under water. 1t is to be
presumed that the discovery of these
last was not made in the Thames, the
water in that river not being celebrated
for its transparency. Artificial lobster
pots thrown overheard with corks
attached, also afford favorite recepta-
cles for various articles. Another
stewardess, in this case belonging to a
Rotterdam boat, did a little ostensible
trading in pigeons. Here is the box in
which they were Gagged, constructed
with a false bottom, below which were
hidden a few cakes of Cavendish. 1t is
q question whether birds ever before so
we'll deserved to be called carrier
pigeons. The journey to Rotterdam is
but a short one, SO that although this
lady did not indulge in such wholesale
doings rs her sister of Jersey, h
worked on the principle that "many 4
little makes n nickel" Here is an APP
parently well bound volume which a
studious individual carried under his
arm during the transaction of his daily
business Mt one of the docks. 1t was
found to be made Of glass, moulded into
the form of Il book, and covered with
leather. That 1t was n work of much
spirit was proved from the fact that it
was full of eau de vie. Another book
is exhibited, the leaves of which are
punched through with round holes from
cover to cover, for the reception of
watches.
We are told that the discovery of
most of these c~ontriyances for conceal

The Republican Senators on Louisiana.



Early last winter the Returning Board If
Louisiana declared that Packard was duly
elected Governor Of the State, and they gave
him Legislature 20 match, aud this LegisIa-
turc elected Kellogg senator In Congress,
and Packard furnished him certificate 10
that effect.
But Il became necessary that the eight
electoral votes Of Louisiana should be stolen
for Hayes, In order 10 count him into the
Presidency. Thcreupon "A bargain was made
and contaminated whereby Hayes was to he
permitted 20 keep the eight stolen votes on
condition that he would hustle Packard
and his legislature aside and would rccog-
nize Nichols as the lawful Governor, aud
allow the Legislature chosen with him 20
act. In pursuance Of this arrangement. the
Nichols Legislature, In March last, elected
Spoffnrd senator In Congress, and Spofiord
took 10 Washington certificate OF election
from Nichols M Governor.
And now, In the face Of these facts, every
Republican In the Senate, after long debate,
has voted 70 seat Kellogg In preference 10
Spohord. thereby recognizing Packard and
his Legislature as the genuine Government
Of Louisiana, aud regulating Nichols and
his Legislature as q sham. But more signi-
ficant thar this, these Republican Senators
by their votes on this vital point, have set
the stamp OF their disapprobation upon the
corrupt bargain In pursuance Of which the
eight votes Of Louisiana were taken from
Tllden and given 20 Hayes. II the issue
should be squarely made I'm the Senate. then
these Republican Senators who placed KEEL
logg In his seat must either adhere 10 Pack
ard as the lawful Governor 81 Louisiana or
declare that Hayes holds the Presidency by
n fraudulent title. They can not recognize
HAYES and ignore Packard. Both must stand
or fall together.

A CURIOUS case As TO the rights Of the
Under Of lost property, whose owner Is
unknown, is reported from Rhode
Island. The plaintiff bought an old
safe and offered TO sell il to the defend
ant. The defendant would not buy II.
but agreed 10 take II and sell il II he
could, using Il himself in the meantime.
While II was thus in his possession. he
found roll Of bank bills inside the
lining. No one knew TO whom they be-
longed. The defendant therefore con-
cluded 10 keep them. The plaintiff. M
on learning Of the discovery Of the
money, demanded the return Of the safe
just as Il was when delivered. The de-
fendant returned 1t, but without the
bank bills; whereupon the plaintiff sued
for their value as money found. The
supreme Court held that the finder was
entitled 70 retain the property as against
the party who put the safe into his hands
for sale; and the authorities generally
maintain the right Of the finder, IN this
class Of cases, as against all persons ex-
cept the real owner.
