Frog Soup.

The following is from Gan Old Gen
tleman's Recollections," by Horace E.
Scudder, in Horper's Magazine for May:
chant in Boston, who was agent for the
French government, and brought into
close connection thus with the French
officers attached to the squadron which
for time was anchored In Boston har-
Dor. His house was the resort of the
foreigners, who were looked upon with
unbounded curiosity by the Boston
people, brought for the first time into
acquaintance with nation uniformly
traduced by the British. It was in
credible to them that persons who were
popularity supposed to subsist mainly
on frogs should be SO plump and we'll
favored; but the original facts were
stoutly maintained and supported by
the rumOr that they had been discov-
cred hunting for their favorite food in
the frog pond On the Common.
With this last notion in his head. Mr..
Nathaniel Tracy, who lived in beauti-
full villa at Cambridge form erly Wash
ington's headquarters, and now Mr..
Longfellow's house,, made 8 great
feast for the admiral and his officers.
Everything was furnished that could
be had in the country to ornament and
give variety to the entertainm My
father was one Of the guests, and told
me often after that two large tureenB
of soup were placed at the ends of the
table. The admiral sat on the right of
Tracy, and M. De PEtombe On the left.
DEtombe was consul of France, res
ident at Boston. Tracy filled a plate
of soup, Which went to the admiral,
and the next was handed to the consul.
AS soon as SEtombe put his spoon into
the plate, he fshed up a 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 it's hind-legs, and,
holding it up in view of the whole COM
pany, discovered that it was ull-grown
frog. AS soon as he thoroughly in
spected it, and made himself sure of
the matter, he exclaimed, "Ah! mon
Dieu! une grenouille! Then turning
to the gentleman next to him, gave him
the frog. He received 1t and passed it
round the table. Thus the poor cropaud
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 a
frog. The uproar was universal.
Meantime Tracy kept his ladle going,
wondering what his outlandish guests
meant by such extravagant meriment.
"What's the natter" asked he; and
raising his head discovered the frogs
dangling by leg in all directions.
" Why don't they eat them?' he ex-
claimed. Of they knew the con-
founded trouble [ had to catch them,
in order to treat them to dish Of their
own country, they would find that with
me, at least, it was no joking matter"

Armenian Beliefs.

They believe in the unity Of Christ as
one body of nature, and embracing the
Holy Ghost and God. They practice
infant baptism, and admit, after pro-
fession of faith and conversion from
Judaism, adults to baptism. They be-
lieve in ransubstantiation but, strange
say, reject purgatory, and pray for
the souls of the dead. These three
doctrines are at least ineligible when
protested by q Roman Catholic. The
doctrinal belief of the Armenians is at
least illogical. They believe in the
everlasting virginity of Mary, worship
saints and shrines, make confession to
the priest necessary to salvation, and
enjoin modification. The traffic in in
dulgences is unknown In the Church,
and, taken as q whole, the priests are
learned, liberal minded and enlightan-
ed. Without entering upon a sketch Of
the history Of this peculiar Christian
community, the antiquity Of which is
undoubted, we may refer to the pecul-
lar constitution of that branch of the
Church which is established at Constan-
tinople, for in this we find solution of
the apparently anomalous conduct Of
the Patriarch. The Patriarch of Con-
stantinople has probably under his care
about two millions Of people, and it is
important TO bear in emind that the
Armenians are not exceptionally in
dustrious and enlightened class of
Asiatics. He is not only the spiritual
head of his immense diocese, which,
with the exception of Jerusalem and
Sis, embraces the whole of Turkey, but
the civil head as we'll.

His High Hat.
From the Illustrated Weekly.

CIOu tlle IIUSlFateu weekly.
AS John Brougham sat, lately, in the
Union Square Theatre, behind a lady
who wore one of the new tall tower
shaped hats, he was reminded of q
story about Bateman, the manager.
Mr.. Bateman, who is big man with
rich crop of hair, he said, was sitting
IN the theatre one night, with his hat
on, shutting out the view of the stage,
from the gentleman in the seat behind
him, when the latter touching him
lightly on the shoulder, said:
beg pardon, sir; but will you please
take your hat oh?''
Mr.. Bateman promptly complied
with the request, but had no sooner
done SO and thrust his fingers through
his bushy hair, making it stand up like
a wall, than the stranger tapped him
on the shoulder again, and said
( "Beg pardon, sir; but will you please
put your hat ON again ?"

A New Alloy.

DR.. Kayser, of Nuremberg, is said to
have succeeded admirably in coating
metals with a new kind of alloy re-
sembling German silver, thus giving to
them q handsome finish, and making
the surface more durable and perma,
nent than that of tin or silver. He
first melts together one part copper
and five parts pure tin. The alloy is
granulated as usual, but not too fine,
and then mixed with water and tarter,
as free from lime as possible, into
paste. To each two hundred parts of
the granulated alloy is added one part
ignited oxide of nickel, and the article

laid in it. After boiling some time

are laid in it. After boiling some time
they become beautifully silvered. Some
fresh oxide of nickel has, of course,t to
be added from time to time. Brass
and copper articles can easily be silver
ed in this manner without previous
preparation, but those Of iron have first
to be appropriated. BY adding some
carbonate of nickel to the above bath,
or to q common white bath, and boil
ing, g. coating richer in nickel is OBJ
tanned, and darker, varying in color
from that of platinum to blue black,
according to the amount of nickel salt
added.

/ lay close down beside the river,
My bow we'll strung, well file d my CULVER.
The god that dwells among the reeds
Sang sweetly from their tangled bredes.
The soft tongued water murmured low,
Swinging the flag leaves to and fro.
Beyond the river, fold on fold,
The hills cleaned through film of gold.
The feathery osiers waved and shone
Like silver thread in tangles blown.

In lilied pools, alert and calm,
Great bass through lucent circles swan;
And farther by q rushy brink
A shadowy fawn stole down to drink,
Where tall thin birds unbalanced stood
III sandy shadows of the flood.
And what did best lie the river
With bow well strung and wel-flled CULVER?

Tapped in a dream of paradise,
Until heard bow cord ring,
And from the reeds an arrow sing
How quickly brothers merry shout

] knew not what had been his luck,
IF well or Ill his shaft had struck;
But up 1 sprang. my bow half drawn,
With keen desire to Stay the fawn.
Where was it, then? Gone like my dream!
I only heard the fish hawk scream,
And the strong, striped bass leap up
Beside the lily's floating cup.

Across my face with steady flow;
I only saw those thin birds stand
Unbalanced on the river sand,
Low peering at some dappled thing
In the green rushes quiveriug.

WHEN vender of a patent hair.in-

effect OF his solution on different heads,
there is perhaps no better way of es-

AN EPISODE.
BY BARTON GRAY.

And so the hour comes at last
when all the dream is over,
Inc distant, passion haunted past,
Inc rapture Of the lover!
L could not tell that would change
Ihat fair and fragrant fancy.
ana yet, ali me! who counts it strange
That time should kill the pansy?
Our love was but summer flower,
A thing of rings and posies.
frail, sweet bud that bloomed an hon
Then died-like other rcses.
1 dreamed I ne'er had seen a face
SO exquisitely tender,
And all my life to your dear grace
Bent down in frank surrender.
And now what need of vows and
+ And passionate prete ses,
To us who are SO sadly wise
In lordship of the senses?
1t was-it is not-let it pass
Though there has gone forever
The image from the magic glass,
That ripple from the river.
Your life shall flow above the shock
In truer, staadier fashion,
With just that gulver DER the rock
That marks buried passion
And it L sometimes lock behind,
It will not be in sorrow,
For to the heart the heart is kind
Loves Eden blooms tomorrow!
