Good Old Times i'm Berlin.


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 prop
erty; citizens accused of theft or muir
der were put to the torture and hanged
if they confessed their guilt; even fraud
ulent bankruptcy was punished by hang
ing. A boy 10 years old was hanged
for stealing a lantern. The weather.
citizens were ordered by the King to
build houses in the Friedrichstadt, and,
as these houses generally remained I'M
occupied, their proprietors were often
nearly ruined. The punishment for
driving too quickly in the streets was
twenty-five blows with stick, and the
King himself used to beat the people OF
his court, including the Princes and
Princesses, with long knotty stick OF
whitethorn, which has become histori-
cal. 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 dishonorable. All ap-
| pointments in the civil service had to
be purchased. The price of PRIV
couneillorship was 500 thalers, of an
ordinary councillorship 500 thalers, Of
a private secretaryship 200 thalers. Fol
salaried posts the price was higher
thus, for an appointment the salary 0.
which was 10 thalers the price was SOC
! thalers.

A Grave Deception.

1t was melancholy funeral, despite
the circumstances-that of Michael o.
Loughlin at French's Prairie, Oregon.
The deceased had quarreled with his
wife, had been divorced, and in his dy-
ing moments, it was stated, had re-
quested that the coffin be not opened, as
he did not want his wife to take last
look at him. The request was compli-
ed with, and the funeral services were
held in a church. A few days after the
funeral the wife asked Mr.. Gregory to
wind up the business of the deceased.
Mr.. Gregory began to do so, but soon
rumors reached him that O'Loughlin
was alive. The grave was opened, the
coffin-lid was taken off, and there, in
the bottom of the coffin, lay a dead
sheep! 1t is thought that O'Loughlin
was the author of the heartless decep-

National Thanksgiving.
A PROCLAMATION BY THE rEEsIpEN1

A PROCLAMATION BY THE PRESIDENT.
The completed circle of summer and win
ter, seed time and harvest, has brought us 20
the accustomed season mt which religious
people celebrate with praise and thanksg1y-
ing the enduring mercy of Almighty COD. rms
deVOut and public confession OF constant de-
pendence of man upon the Divine Father for
all the good gifts of life and health, and peace
and happiness, so early in our history made
the habit of our people, finds IN survey OF
the past year new grounds for its joyful and
grateful manifestation for all blessings which
depend upon benignant seasons. This mas
indeed been a memorable year over the wide
territory of the country. With all ITS dlNer-
sity of soil, and climate, and products, earth
has yielded bountiful returns to the labor OF
the huSbandman. The health OF the people
has been blighted by no prevalent or wide
spread diseases. No great disasters OF snip
wreck upon our coasts or to our commerce
on the seas have brought loss and hardship
to merchants or mariners, and clouded the
happiness of the community with sympa-
thetic sorrow. In all that concerns our
strength, and peace, and greatness as ma
ton; iii all that touches the permanence ana
security of our Government, and the Denen,
cent institutions on which II rests; IN al
that affects the character and disposition OF
our people, and tests our capacity to enjoy
and uphold the equal and free condition OF
society, now permanent and universal
throughout the land, the expert
encc of the last year is conspicuously
marked by the protecting providence OF God,
and is full of hope and promise to coming
obligations to the Great Ruler OF times ana
seasons and events, let humbly aScrlbe TO
our own faults and frailties, if in any degree
that perfect concord and happiness, faith and
justice which such great mercieS should dlf-
fuse through the hearts and lives OF our peO-
pie, do not altogether and always and every
where prevail. Let us, with one spirit and
one voice, lift up praises and thanksgiving to
God for His manifold good to our land, HIS
manifold care for the nation.
EENow, therefore, l, Rutherford Il. Hayes,
President of the United States, do appoint
Thursday, the 29th day of November next, as
a day of national Thanksgiving and prayer,
and ] earnestly recommend that, WITHDRAW
ing themselves from secular cares and labors,
the people of the United States do meet to-
gether on that day in their respective places
of worship, there to give thanks and praise
to Almighty God for His mercies and to de-
voutly beseech their continuance.
In witness whereof have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United states
to be affixed. Done at the City of Washing
ton this 18th day of October, in the year OF
our Lord one thousand eight hundred and
seventy seven and of the independence of the
United States the one hundred and second.

The "Pin Man" of Chicago.

He seems to be always on the tramp.
From early morning till dark he is on
the march, and at all hours of the day
have met him or seen him in his soil
tary wandering. His special mission
seems to be picking up pins. Not one
escapes his eye, and the lapel of his
coat, where he sticks them, is always
covered. Occasionally when he meets
a little child he will stop it, take a pin
off his coat, and with benignant smile
hand it to the youngster and resume his
walk. Upon meeting him day or two
since / fancied look of pain upon his
face which had never seen before, and
[ learned that he had quite little sum
of money in one of our broken savings
banks. He lives alone in cottage neal
the southern limits of the city, ano
seems to have no kindred or friends
He will not be interviewed as to his pas
history; the only hint ever given, so fal
as known, was his answer to little CIR
upon the street who innocently asked
him where his wife was. g She is dead, ,
and then sadly turned away.-1rog

Black Hills Highwaymen Captured.

A Cheyenne dispatch of the LIST says:
The coach that left DeadwoOd Tuesday
morning, coming south, was stopped
and robbed last night within three miles
of this post, by two road men, supposed
to be Blackburn and Wall, the notori-
Gus road agents. There were seven pas
sengers on the coach, among whom was
Uuited States Marshal Sweesy. The
robbers took every thing of value that
could be found-money, blankets and
overcoats. The same men, about day
light this morning, robbed a freight
outfit, consisting Of four wagons, taking
all the blankets they had. They took
from a Chinaman who was in the train
every thing he had, then administered a
sound threshing with whip. Lieut..
Chase, with detachment of the Sd Cav
airy, accompanied by VIM. Reid, an ex-
perienced man at tracing thieves and
catching them, started this morning in
pursuit of the thieves, and followed
them nearly all day, hearing of them
often Just ahead, they having robbed
six different men during the day.
They finally captured the men
u miles above the Government farm,
and about SO from Fort Laramie. A
hot chase was kept up for about five
miles. After the robbers discovered
their pursuers they threw away gun
and some heavy articles in their fight,
but were finally brought to bay by sew
eral shots being fired at them, and sur
rendered. They are now in the guard
house at this post. One of them is
identified as Webster, the murderer of
Deputy Sheriff Quincy. They would not
give their names, telling the officer of
the day that they had a dozen names
each, and there was no use in giving
any names. The two gray horses they
rode are identified as the two horses
that belonged to the CHEYENNE and
Black Hills Stage Company, and were
stolen from them some time ago. Mr..
Ford, agent for the stage company here,
has two overcoats that were taken from
the coach last night, and some Other
articles that have been recognized as
property of passengers in the stage
Great credit is due Lieut.. Chase anG
command for his long, hard, and sue
eessful pursuit, sc miles ride altogether
and to Mr. Reid for the able manner il
which he discovered and followed theil
trail.

And every minstrel voice Of spring

Resides the canned goods. catsnp

Besides the canned goods, catsup is
manufactured from the skins, and the
refuse that is rejected at the hopper.
The whole mass first passes through a
mill, which separates the pulp from the
skins. From the vat of the mill the
pulp is pumped up stairs into reser-
voir When sufficient quantity has
accumulated, it is drawn from the
reservoir into the cooking tank, and
cooked three hours. 1t is then drawn
off into barrels, and allowed to ferment
one week. The pulp settles at the bot
tom, free from impurities, and the
water at the top is poured off, and the
barrel filled again with the tomato pulp.
1t is then returned to the cooking-tank,
and heated; the spices are added, and
the catsup is barreled and sent to
market, where it is bottled, labeled, and
sent to the retailers. One New York
man takes all the catsup made by this
company, at Is cents gallon.
Apples will follow tomatoes in due
order, and have already begun to come
in from the neighboring farms in limi-
ted quantity. These are packed in gal
ION cdns, anu are ueSlSHeu loF pies anu
sauce in family use. There is large
demand for canned apples in the Euro
pean markets, and it is not improbable
that they will supersede the Shipment of
apples in barrels, which are greatly ex-
posed to decay and loss, both on the
voyage and after arrival. The canned
goods are a safe article for shipment,
and, if necessary, can wait a long time
for market and consumption, without
damage.
The large piles Of apples in the store
house, the streets about the factory
crowded with teams waiting TO unload,
the platforms filled with tomato crates,
the busy crowd inside the factory, and
the daily shipment of canned goods look
like the revival of business in this COM
munity.-W. Cliff, Mystic Bridge, co.,

How to Tell the Age Of a Horse.

Up to the period when "a colt has a
full set of teeth the peculiar character
of them is good indication OF the age
of the animal. After that the age of the
horse Is indicated by the wearing down
of the teeth. When a colt is year old
he has cut u nippers and 16 grinders.
During the second year the permanent
teeth begin to appear and the nippers
become worn. During the third year
the milk or first teeth fall out and are
replaced by permanent teeth. which are
larger than the first ones. The grind
ers are also increased to six in each jaw.
AT years the mouth is complete. AT
ter years no precise reliance can be
placed on the teeth as an indication of
age, as it is obvious much depends on
the manner of feeding the horse. If he
is pastured to any extent the teeth be-
come worn down sooner than if he had
been fed on soft food.

A GOlden.Leafed Oak.

A North Carolina paper says that
there is, in Watauga County, n. c., a
flourishing oak tree of vigorous growth,
the leaves of which, when they first
burst forth from the bud in the spring,
are of a bright, golden yellow color,
and retain this color during their whole
growth and maturity. In autumn, when
the coming frost dyes the other forest
leaves in the wavy brilliant hues which
give such wonderful beauty to the noun
tain sides, the leaves on this remarka-
BILE tree begin at length to turn green,
adopting as its own the fresh tint just
deDartinp from the others.
