An Expensive Dinner.

An American gentleman paid Q round sum for O dinner he gave to six friends at a fashionable Paris restaurant few weeks ago. The menu contained noth- ing extravagant and the wines were not the choicest. After coffee and cigars he asked for the bill, and the waiter, bow ing with great deference, presented 1t to the host, who ran his eye over the sew eral items. Asking pardon of his guests he showed them the bill, and desired to know if they thought 28O francs ($56) Q reasonable sum to charge for the dinner they had had. The opinion was unani- nous that the amount asked for so or dinary dinner was more than exorbi- tant. The proprietor was called in. He entered with a pompous bearing, and after hearing the case, regretted that It was not the custom of his house to re- duce any of the charges made. Two hundred francs ($40) were offered him and refused with great dignity, and when he found that the American gen. tleman was inclined to argue out each item with him, he waived his hand deprecatingly, told his customers that he was unable to give them any more time, and asked them, since they ap- peared unwilling to pay the amount Of his bill, to do him the favor of consider ing themselves his guest. He left the room the POO francs were sent down to him, but were refused, and the party quilted the place, furious at the imper- tinent manner in which the dinner had been offered gratultously. In the morn ing the 200 francs were offered him again by public notary and he accepted them. A correspondent of the Globe (London) tells the story.

AMMONIA FROM MANURE HEAPS. The sickness and loss of sight in horses kept ln city stables are largely due to tho escape of ammonia from the manure. Wherever stables and manure heaps emit ammonia it is a sure sign not only that valuable n anure is being lost in the atmosphere, but that it is iniuring any animal that may be in the stables.

HOME AaAIN.-Nine years ago 8 boy of twelve ran away from his New Jersey home, and nothing was heard of him thereafter until the evening before Christmas, when he suddenly walked into the home of his parents and announced himself as their long-lost son.

The great gold discoveries in Calf fornia and Australia undoubtedly contributed as powerfully as any other causes to the extraordinary prosperity of the genera tion that is now drawing to close. In the same way the working of the mines of Mexico and Peru ill the sixteenth century promoted the outburst of com, mercial activity then witnessed"

Keeping Potatoes.

An Alsace-Lorraine journal is re- sponsible for the following description of a method of preparing potatoes for long-keeping, which is largely practised in many parts of France: "A large kettle or boiler of water being placed over 5he fire, and its contents being raised to a boiling point, the potatoes, previously we'll washed, are placed, $ few at time, in small baskets or nets, which are then rapidly thrust under water and there re- tained for about four seconds. Of course, the introduction of so considerable a bulk of cold matter lowers the tempera- ture of the water somewhat, and care must be taken that it rises to the boiling point again after each immersion before fresh netful of potatoes is introduced. As each batch is withdrawn it must be shaken, and spread out on the flooring to dry in some well aired place. When all the stock has thus been treated and is thoroughly dry, it should be slowed away in some dark room, of course free from damp. The potatoes will be found to have lost all tendency to germinate, and will remain sound and well-havored till next years crop comes in."

The Bristol and Paris Literary met
on Friday evening at the residence of
Daniel Marsh, Esq. There was a good
attendance and the exercises were in
teresting. An Essay by Maud Pierce
on the Bright and Dark sides of
country life" showed them up in a
lively manner. A Defamation, "The
country School Ma';m" by Fred. w.
Brande, was particularly noticeable on
account Of the clear entlnciation Of the
speaker, pronounced by teachers pres
ent to be a model for imitation. The
question for debate, Resolved, THAT
capital Punishment should be abolish
ed," was discussed in a commemorate
manner, Messrs. c. H. Waldo, FL. A.
Bullamore and w. III. Flett taking the
affirmative, and Messrs C. L. Marsh,
F. Waldo, alsel J. H. Petrie the mega
tive Decided III favor of the negative.
On Saturday, the teachers meeting
was held at the NeWbury school, house.
There were but few teachers present.
Either there are very few live teach
ers in the E. d. or they fail to SEE
where the practical benefit of a teach
ers' meeting comes in. Teachers pre-, -
ent ut the afternoon session, Messrs
W. Ell. Fiett, j. j. SywartZ, J. N. Evi a.,
Lyman Carpenter, ID. s. Gib5on. H. d.,

The evening meeting which was held
at the Is. & P. Congregational Church
was a pronounced success. and the peo-
pie went home feeling that it was one
worth attending Much credit is due
to the resident teacher, Mr.. w. III. Flett
for his efforts in securing music, etc,
for the occasion.
The great feature Of the evening was
the lecture on the Signal Service OF
the q s. by J. J. Swartz. The speaker
showed very clearly the manner III
whieh storms are traced and the ben
eft obtained thereby Your scribe
would recommend to the people OF
other neighborhoods in Kenosha Co.,
that they secure Mr.. Swartz AS, a lee
'turer on this subject. 1t is one of
practical value to every farmer.

THE PENN YAM MYSTERY.

The first number OF the Penn Yam
Mystery, published by Leon and Har-
riet Lewis, Penn Yam, New York, with
the date January 4, 1879, was received
some time III December. 1t is d very
valuable number, about the size Of the
New York Ledger. and perhaps some
what like it, us both Leon and Harriet
Lewis are writer's for it, as they had
been for the Ledger. II the Work had
been continued equal TO what II com
menced it would have been equal, per-
haps superior to any OF its day. And,
judging from its appearance and con-
tents, there were ilo apparent reasons
why it should not be continued. There
Was3 something singular, herhaps
strange, in it. Leon Lewis stated, as
he said it w;ls we'll known, that Har-
riet Lewis died in May 1878, but as
their plans were all made for publish
ing the paper jointly before her death
he thought it right ner name should
appear with his DIS intended before her
death, as she continued to live and was
still his wife.
But th, Slngularity and s5rangene5S
would not Indicate that the first nunl-
Der was to he the last. Thus far how
over we have not received lie second /.
And we have seen Il state
ment in the Inter-Ucean that Leon
Lewis, with a niece OF his Wife, had
taken passage for EUROPE, with about
100000 obtained for subscriptions for
,he Penn Yam Mystery, VI otherwise,
having gwen al equivalent.
w ere it not that the second number OF
,he paper should have been here be-
fore now and has not been, we should
lot believe the statement, but as it IS,
,here may be reason to believe IL true.

music and diversified uniforms Of the
different corps, made a spirited and
pleasing appearance.
After Coy. Hoyt delivered his ad-
dress the great crowd was dismissed
with the benediction and Il salute was
fired.
The inaugural address rejoices ut
specie resumption, and says that hence
forth we are to produce and exchange
actual things, and not gamble in ticti-
tious values. With regard to the matt
tellance Of the government by ballot.
with legal political rights for all, the
