Goat Milk and Sleeve Milk.

In the southern portion of Italy goats
milk is very generally used by the poor
er classes, who cannot afford the milk of
COWS. This kind of milk is frequently
required also by wealthy people, as it is
said to be efficacious in the cure of vari-
GUS diseases. Difficulties, however,
often attend even the procuring of goats
milk, although the vendors drive the lit
tie animals about from door to door, and
deliver the article done up in it's original
package. A case in point occurred
where friend of the writer's, desiring
some goats milk for his sick child, d-
rected that goat should be driven up
each morning, three flights of stairs, and
be MIXED at his apartment door, in
order to be safe from fraud.
One morning member of his family
stepped suddenly into the hall when the
process of goat milking was going on,
and her eye caught a glimpse of two
streams of fluid gently flowing
from the natural source and the other
from a syringe partly hidden up the
milkmaid's sleeve. It is hardly neces-
sary to add that one stream was milk and
the other a tolerably fair quality of wa
ter, both of which we're harmoniously
eomminglng.

The Shipment of Beef to Europe.

Nearly 1000 head of cattle, or about
$50, 600 pounds of beef, are now shipped
abroad each week. The dressed meat
exported is that of the finest Western
corn fed cattle, which is said to be pref
erable to that of the Texan cattle. One
of the principal results of the exporta-
ton of American beef to Europe has
been the reduction made there In the
cost of meat. The price of beef has
been lowered in England and Scotland
during the past two years nearly twenty
five per cent. The average price of beef
in London in March, 1875, was eight
pence (sixteen cents) per pound; in
March, 1876, seven pence fourteen cents)
per pound; Sin March, 1877, six to six
and one-half pence twelve to thirteen
cents) per pound. The prospects that
this branch of business will become
much more extensive are considered very
encouraging by the prominent stock
dealers of New York. Within few
years, it is predicted, the vast grazing
pastures of the West and Southwest will
furnish meat for the masses in Europe,
who are now unable to purchase it.

The Condition Of Our Navy.

The following is the deliberate iudg-
ment of Admiral Porter, our highest
naval authority, concerning the present
state of our navy, and occurs in COM
munication addressed to the late secre-
tary of the navy and by him transmitted
to Congress
In case of a war between this nation
and England, the English navy could
batter its way into any of our harbors
and destroy them; and any ordinary
ship in the British navy could blockade
any of cur harbors, could keep in every
ship that was there, and keep out every
ship that was on the outside. One sin
gle vessel of the English navy could
whip every thing we have got. It is no
exaggeration to say that the Infexible,
for instance, could go through our whole
navy. Our ships might fire at her all
day, and not hurt her. Her people
would go down to their dinner quietly
while we were firing at her. And our
ships could not run away from. her, be-
cause she makes her fourteen knots an
hour on measured mile, and the fastest
of our monitors only makes eight miles.

proudly; emo such thing is known in
the English army. We never retreat. {"
Good" exclaimed the emperor.
"You are brave lad, and may reioin
your own army"
Then turning to those near him,
Napoleon gave directions that the drum
mer should be conducted back in safety
to the English lines. Fortune is, how.
ever. O tickle jade, for at the battle Of
Waterloo this humble hero met with a
sad death. He had been out with a
body of skirmishers, who were suddenly
attacked by cavalry, and driven back on
their supports. The latter formed
square, and the earth shook beneath the
feet of the advancing cuirassiers as they
rode right up to the points of the
bayonets. Beneath that rampant of steel
lay the drummer, who had been too late
to seek the shelter of the square. Hewas
safe, however, and when the horsemen
were driven back, he jumped merrily
upon his legs, and shouted "Hollo,
comrades! here I am, safe enough ~
These were the last words he ever
uttered for at that moment round
shot carried his head off his shoulders,
and bespattered his comrades with his
brains. Such is the fortune of war.
In the Crimea, on the evening OF the
day on which an unsuccessful attack had
been made upon the Redan, drummer
was observed to leave the shelter of the
trenches with his can of tea in his hand,
and in the midst of a fearful shower of
shot and shell from the Russian batter
les, he threaded his way among the
wounded, giving a drink here and a
drink there until his can was emptied.
Then finging the empty can toward the
enemy with gesture of defiance, he
walked cooly back to hispost. BY the
means of this timely assistance some of
the wounded were able to bear their suf-
ferings until darkness enabled them to
be rescued from death. The drummer
boy who did this brave deed received
the Victoria Cross from her maiesty's
own hand.

A Notable Institution.

Not the least interesting of the public
buildings of New York is Ludlow street
Jail, the place where VIM. NJ. Tweed was
confined previous to his escape. 10 the
student of human nature it is well worth
visit. The visitor on entering is shown
into the warden's Office and reception
room. This is dingy sort OF place, but
withal comfortable. In one corner Is an
office where the books are kept, and
around the room are chairs and benches
for visitors. Then he is shown up a mar
row, winding staircase into the main cor
ridor, and to the right is the dining
room-large and airy. Here those pris-
oners who cannot afford to buy their own
meals are supplied with food at,the ex-
pense of the city or general government.
Others, called boarders, pay stipulated
price per week for their meals and re-
ceive their lodgings free. Returning
from the dining room, the visitor enters
the corridor. This is the prisoners gen.
eral room, and is their only promenade
except when the state of their health rem
ders fresh air necessary. Here they are
seen lounging about, and one would
scarcely conclude from the air of con-
tentment that prevails that they are pris-
oners. Among them are counterfeiters,
forgers, and fraudulent voters. They
are always glad to see stranger who
will talk with them, and are always ready
for conversation. 1t seems strange, but
it is a fact that they are all hopeful of
speedy release. They are watched over
by keeper who, though small in stature,
seems to have perfect awe over them.
A word from him is sufficient to quiet the
most noisy: At the further end of the
corridor is the chaplain's library, small
room with marble floor and embellished
by few decorations in the shape of flow
ers, woodcuts and chromos. The books
are plainly bound and are loaned to the
prisoners whenever they want them. In
this room are also chess, checker, and
backgammon boards, which serve to
while away the tedious hours. The
celebrities of the place are wont to con-
gregate in this apartment, and while the
writer was present the amount of "chaff"
which was passed there was sufficient to
make the most despairing prisoner
merry. The cells are apparently very
comfortable. They are about twelve by
fourteen feet, and contain two beds each.
The walls and ceilings are whitewashed,
and the only thing of which complaint
might be made is the darkness. The
windows are large enough to light the
room fully were they not covered with
some stuff which excludes the light in
great measure. For the invalids or
those who have influential friends there
is a yard with walks around it, ana here
they can take fresh air and exercise them
selves.
1t is generally supposed that Ludlow
street Jail is terrible place of confne-
ment, but it is much more comfortable
than the Tombs, and though confne-
ment is irksome, there are many free
men in New York to-day who would be
glad to change places with the poorest of
the prisoners there.

"Dear Brother Grannis." 1"

A New York letter to the Baltimore
Bulletin says: An editor has just been
discovered here, whose personality and
surroundings are worth mention. 1 al
lude to E. B. Grannis, editor, publisher
and proprietor of the Church Union, o
large quarto of the size Of the Inde-
pendent, devoted to breaking down Sec
tartan walls. Grannis bought the paper
when it had 500 subscribers, and has
raised it to 10000 and valuable prop
erty. Grannis publishes the paper,
edits it and canvasses for advertising,
and does all the heavy work, with the as
sistance of young and bright eyed girl
who keeps the books. In fact, Grannis
has become a power in the religious
journalism of the country, and receives
scores of letters every day addressed to
Rev. Mr.. Grannis, Rev. DR.. Grannis, D.
D., Elder E. B. Grannis, ETC., and be-
ginning MY dear sir, or i" Dear Broth
er Grannis." Grannis, ought to ex-
plain, is woman-a' little, nervous, ac-
tive, black eyed woman, who weighs
about ninety pounds, but represents a
hundred horse power.
asked her the other day {: "Do all
your correspondents recognize you as
man?" eyes, almost invariably" she
said. "My subscribers, agents and
contributors think I am man. The
question of my sex is nothing to them.
1 have men working for me in every
State, who always address me as Dear
sir. I have hundreds of ministers in
my parish and they all think OF me
and speak of and to me as brother. 1t
seemed odd at first, but I have got used
to it."
"What is the object of this dis
guise ?" I asked.
"I have never intended to mask my
SELF" she said, "but I have felt
that if the paper suited, my sex
was nothing to anybody, and
that perhaps my recommendations
and arguments would seem weaker and
less weighty if it were known that lit
tie woman uttered them. So I have
never intruded my womanhood on the
readers of the Church Union. 1 think
it would not disturb their confidence
now" She called my attention to pile
of letters on the desk, almost all ad-
dressed to "Rev. Mr.. Grannis, )" and she
added: 81 had letter the other day

bow, she manages to do: great deal of

that persons who were popularly sup
posed to subsist mainly on frogs should
be 80 plump and well favored; but the
original facts were stoutly maintained
and supported by the rumor that they
had been discovered hunting for their
fayorite food in the frog pond on the
Commons.
With this last notion in his head, Mr..
Nathaniel Tracy, who lived in a beauti-
full villa at Cambridge formerly WASH
ington's headquarters, and now MIR.
Longfenow's house,, made great feast
for the admiral and his officers. Every.
thing was furnished that could be had In
the country to ornament and give va
riety to the entertainment. Ny father
was one of the guests, and told me often
after that two large tureens OF soup were
placed at the ends of the table. The ad-
miral sat on the right of Tracy, and ID.
De l'Etombe on the left. L'Etombe was
consul of France, resident at Boston.
Tracy filled plate of soup, which went
to the admiral, and the next was handed
to the consul. As soon as L'Etombe put
his spoon into the plate, he fished out
large frog, Just as green and perfect as
if he had hoped from the pond into. the
tureen. Not knowing at first what it
was, he seized it by one Of its hind legs,
and, holding it up in view Of the whole
company, discovered that it was full
grown frog. As soon as he had thor
oughly inspected it, and made himself
sure Of the matter, he exclaimed: !" Al!
mon Dieu uae grenouille :" Then
turning to the gentleman next to him,
gave him the frog. He received it and
passed it round the table. Thus the
poor crapaud made the tour from hand
to hand until it reached the admiral.
The company, convulsed with laughter,
examined the soup plates as the servants
brought them, and in each was to be
found q frog. The uproar was universal.
Meantime Tracy kept his ladle going,
wondering what his outlandish guests
meant by such extravagant merriment:
"What's the matter? ?" asked he; and
raising his head, discovered the frogs
dangling by a leg in all directions.
"Why don't they eat them?" he exclaim.
ed. eff they knew the confounded
trouble I had to catch them, in order TO
treat them to dish of their own coun-
try, they would find that wit. me, at
least, it was no joking matter. ."-Hor-

Ladies in Persia.

A traveller in Persia thus describes the
dress and appearance of the ladies OF
that country:
A few women are seen. We met one
sitting astride Oh horseback, as all East
ern women ride. We believe them to be
women because of their costume and
size, but we can see no part OF them, not
even a hand or an eye. They are
shrouded from the head to the knees in
cotton or silk sheet of dark blue or black
the chudder, it is called, which passes
over the head and is held with the hands
around and about the body. Over the
chudder is tied around the head yard
long veil of white cotton or linen, in
which before the eyes is piece of open
work about the size of finger, which is
their only lookout or ventilator. The
veil passes into the chudder at the chin.
Every woman before going out of doors
puts on a pair of trousers, generally OF
the same stuff and color of the chudder,
and thus her outdoor seclusion and dis
guise are complete. Her husband could
not recognize her in the street. In this
costume Mohammedan women grope
their way about the towns of Persia.
Their trousers are tightly bound
about the ankles above their col
ored silk stockings, which are invariably
of home manufacture; the slippers, with
no covering for the heel, complete this
unsightly, unwholesome apparel OF these
uncomfortable victims of the Persian
readers of the Koran. The indoor cos
tune of Persian women Of the higher
class appears indelicate to Europeans.
Tile chudder and trousers are the inya-
riable walking costume. Indoors the
dress of Persian lady is more like that
of ballet girl. In the ante-rooms OF
Persian royalty my wife was received by
the princesses thus attired, or rather un-
attired,

Brave Drummer BOYS.

In one of the battles of the Peninsular
war, drummer, whose name and corps
have both been unfortunately lost to
history, having wandered from his regi-
ment, was taken prisoner by the French,
and brought before Napoleon as spy.
Bonaparte frowned heavily upon his
prisoner as he demanded his rank in
the British army. On being told it was
that of drummer, the emperor, to test
the truth of the reply, caused drum to
he brought, and requested his prisoner
to beat " "the charge!''
The drummer's eyes sparkled with
enthusiasm as he gave the terrific roll
and rataplan demanded.
"Now beat retreat" said Napoleon.
"I cannot" replied the drummer,

"The Law of Kindness"

The influence of q good wife cannot
be too highly priced. Many husband
has. been rescued from destruction by a
true and prayerful wife. The effect of
the contrary was lately narrated thus
The man was out of work, and could OBJ
tain none. He with his wife was sup
ported by her relatives; this 80 exasper-
ated her that she loaded him with re-
proaches ard declared that she would not
live with him unless he was enabled to
support her by his own exertions. The
consequence was he gave himself up to
drink, and in one of his fits murdered
his wife and then killed himself In her
tongue was not the law of kindness. In
stead of up'.raiding she should have ell
couraged him to bear up aud persevere,
and help would come at last. Drunkards
have been reclaimed by the exercise Of
this law. The writer knew an instance
of young man Of high prospects and
excellent business capacity. He became
intemperate in his habits, lost his posi-
ton and was deserted by his friends,
who gave him up as hopeless case, an
inebriate asylum failed to restore. He
became so shabby in his dress that he
could scarcely be recognized. But q
friend, not related. actuated by the gen.
erous impulses of his nature, expostu-
lated with him, reasoned with him in
many conversations, treating him with
delicacy and kindness, bought him new
suit of clothes, and by constant efforts
brought him to sense OF his condition,
and he is now considered fully reclaimed
and has been reinstated in his former
lucrative position. "Oh, he is going to
destruction; he has brought it on him
self, and no one else is to blame" Such
is the general cry. Not so the good Sa'
maritan, whose deeds are registered on

Frog Soup.

Mr.. Breck's father was rich merchant
in Boston, who was agent for the French
government, and brought into close con-
nection thus with the French officers
attached to the squadron which for
time was anchored in Boston harbor.
His house was the resort of the foreign
ers, who were looked upon with un-
bounded curiosity by the Boston people,
brought for the first time into acquaint-
ance with nation uniformly traduced by
the British. It was incredible to them
