SWindlerS.

The successful swindler is usually
man of good appearance and finished
manners; his chief victims are hotel
proprietors and boardihg-house keepers,
their occupation rendering them pecu-
liarly liable to imposition. Not long
since, man in New York, when finally
caught in the act, openly boasted that
for over two years he had lived at the
finest uptown boarding-houses and not
paid one cent during that time for
board; he was gentlemanly in ap-
pearance, we'll dressed, in possession of
fine conversational powers, and very
popular among the ladies. His plan was
to call at first-class boarding house, en-
gage apartments, and before partaking
Of the first meal inform the landlady
that "he could not get his baggage over
the ferry that morning." chad not ar
rived at the express Office yet" "was de-
layed on the road by an accident" ETC.,
always framing some plausible excuse so
as to gain foothold, and in the interim
making himself agreeable to all
the ladies in the house, particularly the
landlady and her daughters, if perchance
she had any, being good pianist, good
reader, charming dancer, and with
such winning ways" that before she
was hardly aware of the fact, he owed
her months board, when he quietly
stepped out, never to return. Swindlers
of a meaner class are those who hang
around large hotels for the chance Of
securing meal. When they think nc
one is looking, they slip into the dining
room. Some of them can tell to nicely
at just what hour and minute they
stand better chance; as matter o.
course where two or three hundred per
sons are sitting down to meal, it il
a hard matter to discern one person wht
has not registered. Still another clas
are those who on stopping at a hotel hav'
a fair show of baggage, but which il
reality is worthless; this class has man,
devices, and generally succeed in victim
izing the landlord, even if he be no
over-credulous. In fact, for ways tina
are dark the hotel-swindler is very pecu
liar.

A COLORADO saloon-keeper said of a
rough crowd: II couldn't get their
whisky strong enough for them; so, after
trying every way, l at last made a
mixture of poison-oak and butternit.
That did the business. I called it the
shepherds delight, and it was a popular
drink. The first Pike tried it on yelled
with delight. The next one took two
drinks, and turned double somerset in
the road before the house. A peddler
came along, and after he took several
drinks of my shepherds delight, he
went off and stole his own pack and hid
| it in the woods"

Domestic Hints.

Cream Crackers.-Onep pint of cream,
six eggs, little salt, flour enough to
form stiff dough. Beat the eggs very
light, mix all the ingredients together,
and pound the dough half an hour. Roll
out thin, cut into any fancy shape, and
bake in modern oven.
Pineapple Pudding.-Take half a
pound of grated pineapple, half a pound
of powdered sugar, and a quarter of a
pound of fresh butter. Stir the butter
and sugar to a cream, then add by de-
grees the grated pineapple. Crate tea
cup of sponge-cake, and mix with it a
teacup of sweet cream; add little
grated nutmeg for favoring. Add this
to the pineapple mixture. Beat six eggs
very light; put all the ingredients to-
gether and stir the whole very hard.
Butter deep baking-dish, put in the
mixture, and bake in a rather quick
oven.
French way of Cooking Lamb Chops.
Cut loin of lamb into chops. Re
move all the fat, trim them nicely, and
see that they are all the same length.
Lay them in a deep dish and cover them
with salad oil. Let them steep in the
oil for an hour. Having drained the
chops from the oil, cover them with a
mixture of finely grated bread-crumbs, a
little minced parsley, seasoned with pep
per and salt, and some grated nutmeg
then broil them over bed of hot Goals
or buttered gridiron, or you may bake
them nice brown in a quick oven.
Have ready some mashed potatoes heaped
high on hot dish, in the form of cone
or beehive, and place the lamb chops all
round it, so that they stand up and lean
against it with the broad end of each
chop downward. Ornament the top of
the one with handsome rose or a bunch
of curled parsley.

Reform in the Indian Department.

Secretary Schurz expresses much
surprise at the statements which have
gained currency to the effect that the
board appointed by him to inquire into
the conduct of certain officials of the
Indian Bureau is treating them un-
fairly in not permitting them to be
present at the examination of witnesses
or to cross-examine the latter, and
that, on the other hand these privileges
are granted TO the accusers. He says
these statements are very erroneous,
and that they do himself and the hoard
great injustice. The investigation for
the present is conducted in secret,
because it is believed that this course
is most conductive to the disclosure OF
information which may lead to impor-
tant discoveries, and that a premature
publication of such testimony would,
in all probability, defeat the objects OF
the investigation. For these obvious
reasons neither the accused parties nor
the accusers are permitted TO be present
at the examination of witnesses by the
board. But the Secretary says that
every person accused will have the full
est opportunity to see every particle OF
testimony brought against him, as well
as free scope to cross-examine witnesses
before the inquiry is closed. Secretary
Schurz also states that two of the three
members of the board are from other
departments lone being taken from the
Department of Justice and the other
from the War Department.; and that
they are gentlemen of very high stand-
ing in their respective departments,
without the least prejudice or bias with
regard to the persons involved in the
investigation or in any way concerned
in it. The Secretary remarks that he
is determined to sift most thoroughly
the charges brought against officials in
the Indian Bureau, and to discover
abuses wherever they exist, but with
equal emphasis he adds that he will
give the accused parties ample opportu-
nifty for defense so that no injustice
shall be done to any one.

A Natural Curiosity.

In the great valley between the North
and South Mountains, in Pennsylvania,
commonly called the Eastern ridge, a
well was dug some years since In
Franklin, and another in Cumberland
county, thirty or forty miles from the
former, which led to discover! afford
ing subject for interesting speculation.
After proceeding in each instance to a
depth of about 36 feet the bottom of
these wells gave way, (but fortunately
when the workmen had retired) and a
torrent of water rushed up. A lead
was sunk with fifty fathoms of line
without finding the least obstruction.
They remain at this time untouched
and of unknown depth. The presump-
tion is, there is a subterranean lake In
that quarter, and how far it extends
under the base of the mountains, situa-
ted between the Susquehanna and
Pittsburgh, will never be ascertained,
unless by some terrible convulsion of
nature they should he precipitated in
the tremendous abyss.

On the night of her benefit, verses In
her praise, printed on tinted paper,
were showered down on the boxes from
the upper tiers in thousands of copies.
All the elite of the ancient Tuscan cap
ital, the nobility and the professional
classes, were present, each one seeming
to vie with the other in the expression
of his enthusiasm. Such scene where
a child of S years Of age held one of the
most refined and intellectual audiences
that ever gathered within the walls of a
theater SPELL l-bound by the exhibition of
her histrionic talents, has never been
seen in any other country. Master
Barry, the English youthful prodigy
was of another style, and not to be
compared in qualities Of mind and
character with Gemma. While she has
brain she has good physique, and body
and mind seem to be fairly balanced,
one against the other. She Is a healthy
child physically and morally. Cavabere
Rossi, the great tragedian, predicts for
her splendid career, and that she will
improve with age until she becomes the
greatest actress the world has ever seen.
Little Gemma has an ingenious am
bition. She plays now to please those
most near and dear to her, but she will
soon love to delight the great world, to
feed on its applause, and to fascinate it
with her maturely developed genius.

A WONDERFUL BABY ACTRESS.
A Child Of Five Years Whose Genius AS
t0nishes the Italians.

There has recently appeared at the
Arena NaZionale Theater, of Florence,
one of the most wonderful dramatic
geniuses that ever trod the stage.
speak of a born artistic, in the person of
Gemma Ounniherti, child of years.
She is lovely creature, with figure as
exquisitely beautiful as if it had been
nodded by a PraXiteles, arms that rival
those of the Venus de Medici, grace
full head, eyes as bright as two stars, a
sweet mouth with pearl-white teeth, and
features that seem capable of every kind
of expression. Young as she is, her
voice is sympathetic, elastic and we'll
toned to an extraordinary degree. The
little angel, for she really seems sup
ernatural creation, is all grace and
witchery. While she is provoking thun-
ders of applause and floral tributes in
such profusion that the stage is covered
with bouquets like great flower garden,
she herself is apparently unconscious Of
the extent Of her triumph. She enters
into her part with such natural Zest
thrt it does not seem acting, and
appears rather the extemporaneous
utterance of her own brain. Less al
tihcial acting has never been witnessed.
She is altogether child of nature. She
memories rapidly, and retains what
ever she has acquired with a tenacity
that nothing can disturb. She has, as
it were, an intuitive perception of
the character she plays, and without aid
or instruction she develops 1t with mar
velous correctness.
Undoubtedly. Gemma is an instance
Of the rarest precocity, but there is no
evidence of over-strained application to
produce extraordinary expects. She
walks the stage with as much ease and
freedom as if she had trod it all her life.
She talks, laughs, mimics, coquets,
makes love, and accepts the homage OF
adorers as prettily as the most accom-
plished actress could do. She enjoys the
performance as much as the audience.
and forgets herself entirely in her part.
1t is difficult to distinguish between the
child and the actress. Off the stage she
is as guileless, as merry and playful as
other children of her age. Nothing
pleases her better than to romp and
sport with her little friends, She Is, in
fact, apparently unconscious of her
power and endowment, and it is
only when studying her part that
she becomes serious and reserved. All
Florence nightly fiocks to see her. The
performers at the other theaters go to
study her and to learn from her. Poets
have written verses in her honor, and
the celebrate writer, Vittorio Bersezio,
has criticised her performances at
length. If she was Ristori herself, he
could not have spoken of her action IN
more laudatory terms. The journals
seems to have forgotten the Eastern
question in their enthusiastic admira.

THE DUTY OF EDITORS.
TATE Spring. Anril 20. 1877
e Editor of the MOrristown Gazette:

To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
AS you and the Hon. E. o. Tate have
come up to the scratch and have taken
the great road "bulr' by the horns, do
not at the present wish to tackle him. l
however wish it distinctly understood
that / endorse all that you both have
said on the subject, and even good deal
more, if by my endorsement the press OF
the State can be aroused to the import
ance of the subject, and theutter worth
less of the present road system.
There is one thing that l wish at this
time to speak of, not that expect to ar
que the subject-because know that l
am not qualified to do so-but simply
wish to call attention to it, and perhaps
cause some person or persons to take up
the subject who are qualified to do 1t
justice The thing is this: we scarcely
ever get copy of newspaper of this
cases of murder, manslaughter, or mali
cious shooting or cutting. Now, sir, l
feel satisfied this thing is on the increase
in this State, not for the want of good
and efficient laws for the punishment of
such crimes, but for the want of good
local officers to enforce and execute the
law as it should be done. Again the
press of the country-as a general rule
merely chronicle these dangerous
transactions without a word of condem-
! r Ii No
sir, this is not as it should be, in my
judgment, for if, as has been said. g the
press controls American thought" why
cannot the press regardless of politics
or previous condition of servitude,
unite in one "grand and eternal storm
of condemnation against those illegal,
uncivilized and disgracefcl practices.
Again the people should be taught
to know that, if it is not unlawful, it is
at least unpopular to harbor one of these
fugitives from justice, "as the manner
of some is" we wot of, much less to will
fully mislead the officer in search OF
such fugitives. Now, sir, hold that
just SO long as such practices on the part
OF 1nQ1V1QuatS are overlooked or W1nked
at by the press, and by consequence the
people, just so long will the commission
of such crimes multiply in the land.
Then, sir, where is our boasted ciyiliza.
ton and our worshipped liberties and
what becomes of that affirmed axiom,
g that CRIME diminishes as education ad
vances." Again would say, in regard
to the law ''made and provided" under
the head of ''small offences" that allows
criminally guilty man to come up and
confess-only confess part of his sin
and to be released upon the payment O
a two or five dollar fine-the witnesses
charging no cost. neither the officers
is, in my judgment, simply legal fraud
cheat and humbug, and therefore an en-
enlargement and premium offered Il
wrong doors, and the sooner it is erased
from the statute book the better.
Yours respectfully,
