LONDON, June 10, 1877.
General Grant eclipses most other
sensations just now, by the intermina-
BILE array Of breakfasts, dinners and
receptions in which he is figuring as
the lion. The common people take
the greatest interest in the hero of
your civil WAL, and wherever he goes
| they flock in crowds to see him. The

The ex-President was much affected

having just returned from Bath. But
why enter into these details with the
pen, when the nimble lightning keeps
you posted daily regarding everything
the General does and says. In the
latter respect it is a little unfortunate
that he is not a better speaker.
Although he has spoken at more
length here, while upon his post-pran-
dial legs, than he did in the United
States, his want of the graceful gift Of
after-dinner 0ratOry-so priced by
Englishmen-is painfully apparent.
It does not improve matters either to
have him continually ringing the

Next to Grant comes Gladstone in
the occupancy of the public eye. The
speeches which he has made on the,

AN OLD ENGLISH DUEL
BY THos. HOOD.

BY THos. HOOD.
In Brentford town, of old renoWn, ar
There lived a Mister Bray, -
Who fell in love with Lucy Bell,
And SO did Mr. Clay.
To see her ride from Hammersmith
BY all it was allowed,
Such fair outsldes are seldom seen,
Such angels Oh q cloud.
Said Mr.. Bray to Mr.. Clay:
You choose to rival me,
And court Miss Bell. but there yolW 00urs
No thOroughfare shall be.
Unless you now give UP your suit,
You may repent your love;
who have shot a pigeon MATCH
Can shoot turtle dove.
So pray before you WOO her more,
Consider what you do;
If you pop aught to Lucy Bell, 55l
I'll pop it into you.
Said MI Clay to Mr.. Bray: aa
Your threats I quite explode;
One who has been Il volunteer
Knows how to prime and load, yta
And SO say to you unless 3
Your passion quiet keeps, otG
I, who have shot and hit bull'SGyeS
May chance to hit a sleeps.
Now gold is oft for silver changed,
And that for copper red;
But these two went away to gTe
Each other change for lead.
But first they sought friend apiece,
This pleasant thought TO give
When they were dead they thus should have
Two seconds still to live.
Tomeasure out the ground not long
The seconds then f0rebore,
And having taken ole rash step,
They took dozen more.
They next prepared each pistol pan
Against the deadly strife. r
By putting in the prime OF death
Against the prime OF life.
Now all was ready for the foes;
But when they took their stands
Fear made them tremble, so they found
They both were shaking hands.

Health on q Sure Basis.

In order to establish health on a sure ba-
sis, the enfeebled system must acquire addi-
tional vigor. And yet, patent as this fact is
and widely known as 1t is, too many people
neglect this vital point in the self treatment
of disease, and physicians are very often
equally remiss, resorting TO the use OF pallia-
tives which affect symptoms only and fail TO
accomplish the chief end In view, which is,
or should be, inauguration. The main reason
why Hostctter's Stomach Bitters are so sue
cessful in overcoming disease Is that they
impart vitality where II Is deficient, and thus
build up a superstructure for exhausted ma
ture to recuperate upon. The Bitters also
improve the appetite, soothe the nervous
system when over. strained, and are genial
and agreeable medicinal stimulant, with a
basis Of pure spirits holding in solution bo-
tanic elements Of the greatest efficacy.

Irving's Japan csc Paper Carpet
ing.

Among the many novelties at the Mechan-
les Fair, San Francisco, the well known firm
Of Armes Il Dallam exhibit some Japanese
paper carpeting. While IL has the general
| appearance of oil cloth, II is handsome and
has no offensive smell, and rs they cost only
| fifty cents per square yard, II must sooner or
later have an extensive sale. 1t Is claimed
that II is even more durable than oil cloth.
Its frmness OF texture certainly gives ere
dence to this theory. There is nothing about
ii to friZ and tear, as there is in oil CLOTH and
those who know anything about Japanese
skill In making an almost incredibly firm,
strong and tough paper, will readily credit
this As they lay down smoother than oil
cloth, they obviate serious objection to that
material They do not crack, and the colors
are printed into the very her Of the paper.
No Goubt some people may have prejudice
against it from It's name, but If any one will
examine the specimens on exhibition, they
will see that the fiber and body OF the mate
rial has more Of the toughness and appear
ance of leather than anything known under
the name Of paper, made in this country. We
have seen some of this carpeting, which has
been In m Office where II is much used, and
it shows hardly any signs of wear, although
| IL has been in use fifteen months. Armes x
Dallam, dealers in wood and willow ware, at
2l5 and 2l7 Sacramento street, San Francis
co, are the sole agents. People should ex-
anime this for themselves. Armes n Dallam
will supply samples upon application.

Queer Punishments in Germany.

A common punishment was that of
going in procession through the streets
of a town or village in dress covered
with images Of swords, rods and other
implements of corporal punishment.
In Hesse, women who had beaten their
husbands were made to ride backward
on donkey, holding his tail, on which
occasion the animal was led through the
streets by the husband. This custom ex-
listed in Darmstadt up to the middle of
the seventeenth century, and was so COM
mon that donkey was always kept ready
for the purpose in the neighboring viii
lagos. If the woman struck her husband
in such me nner that he could not ward
off the blow, the donkey was led by the
man that had charge of him; if not, then
by the husband himself.
At ST. Goar a miller was allowed a
certain quantity of wood from the for
ests belonging to the town, in return for
which he was bound to supply donkey
to rhe municipality whenever required for
the chastisement of a scoding wife. An
other very old custom was that of punish
ing henpecked husband by removing
the roof of the house, on the ground that
"a man who allows his wife to rule at
home does not deserve protection against
the weather" If two women fought in
public, they were each put in a sort of
closed sentry box, which only left their
heads exposed, and then posted opposite
to each other in the market-place, where
they remained for an hour face to face,
but unable to use their hands or feet.
A common punishment for scolding
women was the shameful stone," which
was hung around their necks. This stone
was usually in the shape of bottle. At
Hamburg, libclers and slanderers were
compelled to stand on block and strike
themselves three times on the mouth as a
sign of repentance. This custom still
existed thirty or forty years ago. In
some towns the shameful stone" was in
the shape of loaf, whence the German
saying, "a heavy bit of bread" (ein
schwerer bissen brodD. At Lubec it was
in the shape of an oval dish, and in other
places in that of a woman putting out her
tongue. Such stone was usually very
heavy; according to the law of Dortmund
and Halberstadt Q34S) they were to
weigh hundred weight. Those who
were wealthy could purchase exemption
from this punishment with bag full of
hops tied with a red ribbon.

SOuthdOMn Sheen.

To MIR. WILLIAM Cisco, White River,
Kings Co., Washington Territory In
reply to your query about Southdown
sheep--it is certain the pure-breds are
the best mutton in the world, without
any exception, and the other Down sheep,
which have been produced by crosses
with other breeds, are also valuable, bat
they are one or two degrees removed from
the peculiar flavor of the Southdowns,
which good judges among mutton-eating
communities pronounce to be unrivaled.
Probably all this exquisite taste and in
comparable flavor is lost on population
not accustomed to having their meat
cooked in the same way as those do who
so highly appreciate pure Southdown
mutton. The Lincolns, Cotswolds and
Leicesters are all much larger sheep and
shear much heavier fleeces, and in this
country, where the primest meat is not
paid for in proportion to its fine quality,
thought by great many to be equal to
any other.
Mr.. Cisco should obtain, through some
friend of English birth, a sight of some
of the newspapers, wherein he would see
the quotations. The best way to escape
being cheated is either to visit the focks
of prominent men or to write to parties
of established reputation, who would
send what was desired. 1t would be ad-
visable to correspond with some of the
breeders of the kinds mentioned, who
exhibit their stock at the great shows in
the East; and they would send catalogues
containing pictures of the animals. l
would then advise start with rams only,
at first, and this is just the time to get
them.
have friend, an old school fellow,
who has imported Cotswolds and South
downs, and has bred them both, as also
Short Horn and Hereford cattle, ETC., start
ing about thirty years ago or more, and
who was never known to do dishonor-
able action. He has at the present large
flocks and herds, but never advertises of
late, because he has such demand it is
difficult to breed enough to supply it.
In fact, he goes to England every year
and obtains animals to help him out in
supplying customers. l think he will
not thank me for mentioning his name,
but it is Mr.. Fred. VIM. Stone, of Guelph,
Ontario, to whom l allude. There are
many more breeders who would scorn to
cheat any one, but don't know enough
of them to give their names; and ia this
instance l distinctly avow have no 9TH
or motive, in speaking of Mr.. Stone, but
to give Mr.. Cisco the name Of one of a
class of men who can be trusted.
After ram or rams have been proved
and the extraordinary results of their use
have been seen on the lambs from common
ewes, some pure-bred ewes can be had to
breed pure rams for neighbors, and event
ually to bcget large pure-bred flock

upwards of fifty years altogether, and for
twenty years in the United States and
