Those Good Old Times.

A curious book on "the good old
times in Berlin has been published by
Prof. G. Langenscheidt. In the middle
of the eighteenth century no one could
leave the country without special pass,
on penalty of losing the whole of his
property; citizens accused of theft or
murder were put to the torture and
hanged if they confessed their guilt;
even fraudulent bankruptcy was pun
ished by hanging. A boy ten years old
was hanged for stealing street lantern.
The wealthier citizens were ordered by
the King to build houses in the Fried
richstadt; and, as those houses generally
remained unoccupied, their proprietors
were often nearly ruined. The punish
ment for driving too quickly in the
streets was twenty-five blows with a
stick, and the King himself used to beat
the people of his court, including the
Princes and Processes, with a long
knotty stick of whitethorn, which has
become historical. The officers thrashed
the sergeants, the sergeants the privates.
employers their servants. Street fights
were of daily occurrence, and the victims
were most frequently the police, whose
office was considered dishonorabie. All
appointments in the civil service had TO
be purchased. The price of Privy

Sad TRAGEDY.

A few mornings ago, Mrs. Way, of
Mechanicsville, n. Y, arose from bed,
and, taking four children with her, pro-
ceeded to the creek, and threw the little
ones in. She then jumped in herself.
The Oldest child, girl, succeeded in
getting out, and ran to the house. Her
father was yet asleep, and she awoke
him, saying: "Mother threw all of us

and some neighbors joined him on the
road. With the assistance rendered by
the neighbors, Mr.. Way succeeded in
rescuing his wife and one of the chill
dren, but two of the little ones were
drowned. Mrs. Way had been thought
for some time to be slightly insane. but
not sufficiently so to be deprived of her
liberty.

Westward the Pestiferous Inse ct Takes It's
Course.
DIR. A. S. Packard, Jr., Secretary of
the United States chronological Com
mission, returned early in October from
an extended journey in the western Ter
ritories and the Pacific coast, which was
undertaken for the purpose OF ascertain
ing the western limits of the migrations
of the Rocky mountain locust, and to
determine whether it was this locust or
similar specimen which, for two cent
uries past, has periodically made rava-
GEES in certain localities in Oregon and
California. His trip has been success
full in settling both of these points. 1t
was found that the Rocky mountain To-
Gust had migrated from the region about
Boise City, in Southwestern Idaho, into
Northern Nevada by way of Bruneau val
ley, where they were abundant and des-
tructive in July. During the first week
in August they invaded Nevada, proving
very annoying ia the Owyhee valley,
near Cornucopia, New. They ate up the
crops, even filling wells, such was their
abundance. They had never been seen
or heard of by the settlers previous to
this summer. In Oregon the Rocky
mountain locust migrated from Montana
or Idaho into the Burnt river country
about the 10th of July, destroying the
crops on severalranches, and it is feared
by the farmers that another year they
will reach the vicinity of Walla Walla,
where a good deal of wheat is now
raised. This is the first year that they
have been seen SO far west, though
from the nature of the country there
seems no reason why swarms of locusts
should not extend as far west as the
Dalles of the Columbia, or the eastern
tank of the Cascade mountains. It APP
pears as matter of fact that the locust
ravages as far west as the Goth meridian,
and extends from latitude 55 degrees to
81 degrees along this meridian. 1t was
found that grasshopper closely resem-
bling the Rocky mountain locust, but
smaller and with shorter wings, abounds
OH the Pacific coast, on both sides of the
Sierra Nevada, and extends northward
into Oregon and Washington Territory.
1t is believed by the commission that
this is the locust which has in former
years, in certain localities, devastated
wheat-felds in Oregon aud California.
Many facts were collected regarding the
cricket which has devastated Idaho. Ore
gon, and Washington Territory. In one
locality in Nevada, in 1876, $4,000 worth
of wheat was devoured by these insects.
The commission has made a general sur
vey of the locust region during the past
season, and accumulated large mass of
information regarding the habits of the
locust and the best means of preventing
its ravages, which will be presented to
Congress early in the winter. The CON-
mission and their assistants have been
everywhere aided and encouraged by
farmers and others directly concerned in
agriculture, and it is hoped that the re !.
suit of the work thus far accomplished
will be OF lasting value to the agricult-
ure of the West.

Thomas Castro, the Orion claimant,
has been removed from the prison at
Dartmoor to Portsea. He did not get
on well with the officials ut Dartmoor,
and it is thought change of scene
would be of benefit. At Dartmoor he
operated sewing-machine; at Portsea
he will devote himself to making and
mending clothes for the convicts. He
wears suit that he made himself, and
is quite proud of his proficiency as a
tailor.

How to Cook the Thanksgiving Turkey.

Young housekeepers may find the fol-
lowing hints useful in preparing for the
Thanksgiving roast:
The turkey should be we'll singed and
freed from "pin-feathers, and thor
oughly drawn by opening one side just
below the breast-bone. Be sure to take
everything out that is inside, not for
getting the parts lying between the ribs
and the "soul." Wipe dry, after wash
ing well in cold water Then dip the
turkey two seconds into boiling water,
and Immediately two seconds into ice
water. This will give it very plump
appearance. Cut the neck off close to the
body, leave the skin longer, draw it over
the neck, and tie; also tie the legs
close to the side, having cut off the
first Joint. Fasten the wings to
the sides with fine skewers, having cut
off the pinions. Put the gizzard, liver,
heart and neck to boil in quart of wa
ter; allow two and n quarter hours to
roast a turkey weighing ten pounds. If
the specimen happen to be one of many
summers, boil it one hour or so before
resting. Basic with salt and water once,
then cover with Jumps of butter, and
afterward basic with the drippings.
The Dressing.-Take three pints of
bread-crumbs for medium sized turkey;
chop finely, with one-quarter pound of
salt pork, a good lump of butter, salt,
pepper-sauce and savory or majorum,
and break in two or three eggs to make
it of the right consistency. Fill both
the breast and body, and sew up.
Riched mashed potatoes also make a
good stuffing.
oyster Dressing. oysters with
out their liquor, and just bread-crumbs
enough to make them of proper consis-
tency;a blade of mace, alittle pepper and
salt.
The GraUy.-Having boiled the glib
let's in a quart of water till tender, strain
the broth thus obtained into dripping
pan, having removed tie turkey. Take
the liver and mash it very fine with the
back of spoon and return to the gravy.
Then chop very fine the heart and giz-
zard, and add to the gravy, and thicken
with Drowned flour; stir and season we'll;
boil five minutes.

Turkeys.

At this season of the year, great
many people, young and old, are think
ing of turkeys, or rather of tawkey;, for
it is not 80 much as fowl, but as the
chief dish at dinner, that we think of our
gobbling friend. Perhaps, though, it is
but fair that the tables should be turned
now. and he who has through the sum-
mer frightened many child by his COB
bling should himself be "gobbled" by
others.
/ think some of you will be surprised
to learn what superior bird the turkey
is in his wild state. Most of us are i'm
proved by becoming domestic, but it is
not so with the turkey; he is neither as
fine looking, nor as wise, when domesti-
Gated. Benjamin Franklin held that a
wild turkey, instead of an eagle, ought
to be the emblem of the United
States; and, perhaps, if you could see
fine specimen of the turkey in her
native haunts you would not wonder at
his choice. Certainly, when Franklin
was alive, turkeys were far more plenti-
full all over the country than ever eagles
had been, yet think we all cling to the
soaring flight" of thateagle. 1t seems
so much easier to rhyme about him, too.
How many poets, great and small, have
sung of the eagle But think Robert
Southey alone has sung of the turkey.
AS his lines will tell you of one of its
peculiar habits, they are worth your
reading: can .oo lfef h

A scailold Romance.

Newspaper readers may recall the exc
cution of the murderer of Charles Ster-
ling, mt Youngstown, Ohio, for assault
ing and numbering little girl. Awoman
claiming to be his mother went on to
Youngstown from Canada, and fully
identified him as her son; but he refused
to acknowledge her, and declared that
he had appropriated the name of her
son, whom he had met while travelling,
and for whom he had often been mis-
taken, SO striking was their resemblance
to one another, to conceal his own iden-
tity and preserve his family's name from
shame. Though he coldly repulsed the
woman, it was shrewdly suspected that
he was her son, and that he refused to
admit the relationship to avoid bringing
disgrace upon his friends. He was
hanged after an attempt at suicide by
inhaling gas and desperate struggle to
escape, begun, he avowed, with the in
tention of forcing his guards to kill him,
and his dying request was for permission
to ascend to the cupola of the Jail and
view the surrounding country. The ro-
nance connected with his execution has
been revived by the arrival at Youngs-
sO"h, ~ tS" "6O, VI WV hohuoouiC
and .richly-dressed women, both of them
young, who made pilgrimage to the
murderer's grave in the Potter's Field,
and strewed it with flowers. The elder
of the two threw herself ON the grave
and sobbed passionately, while the
younger stood by, and, though weeping,
seemed more under control. A man
who had directed them to the spot then
approached and inquired whether they
had known Sterling On their saying they
had, he inquired further whether they
were relatives, but this question they
evaded. Finding that the young man
was acquainted with the details of the
case they continued the conversation at
some length, the while weeping bitterly.
At the conclusion the elder of the two
cried, ooh! L would give my life to
God who made me if could be satisfied
that he was guilty" The women soon
after returned to the hotel, and later in
the same day left on the Atlantic and
Great Western railroad, having bought
tickets to Buffalo. Who or what they
were, or whence they came, is equally
mystery. Cincinnati Commercial. 'o''"
