and cannon, is tall, fine looking old
man of remarkably commanding pres
ence. He has a beautiful home at Es-
sen, and relates how. as a young hard
working man. be fixed upon the site of
the present house as that of his future
home, if he should succeed in his career;
and how he always used to delight as a
boy, when he got a holiday, to ascend
the hill and look down into the pleasant
and peaceful valley below. He has re-
ceived almost every order from the hands
of the Emperor, and has been offered all
manner of titles, but he refuses them all
content to live and die as plain Herr
Krupp. The following anecdote is told
concerning his marriage One day. be-
ing in the theater at Cologne, he was
struck by girlsh face in the box oppo-
site ; he begged one of his friends. who
was acquainted with the family. to in
troduce him. Next day he was engaged
and the following week the the mar
riage took place. The marriage con-

How TO SELECT MEATs.-Good and
wholesome meat should be neither of
pale rose or pink color, nor of a deep
purple. The first denotes the diseased
condition, the last proves the animal
died a natural death. Good meat has
more of a marble look, in consequence
of the branching of the veins which sur
round the adipose cells. The fat. espec-
tally of the inner organs, is always firm
and suety and never moist, while in
general the fat from diseased cattle is
fabby and watery and more often re-
sembles jelley or boiled parchment.
Wholesome meat will always show itself
firm and elastic to the touch, and exhibit
no dampness, while bad meat will appear
soft and moist, in fact, often very wet,
so that the liquid substance runs out of
the blood when pressed hard. Good meat
has very little smell and difuses a GER
tain medicinal odor. This can be dis
tinctly proved by cutting the meat
through with knife and smelling the
blade, or pouring water over it. Lastly.
bad meat has the popularity that it
shrinks considerably in the boiling
wholesome meat rather swells and does
not lose an ounce in weight.

GARRICK's RoMANcE.-Garrick' first
love episode was amusing. He tumbled
head over ears in love with Peg Voting
ton, and with her and Macklin, another
actor, went to housekeeping. each to be
in turn housekeeper for a month. But
the arrangement did not last long, Foote
declares, on account of David's mean
ness. Peggy made the tea too strong"
said he. The love affair was soon cured,
and not very long after Garrick married
Mademoiselle Violet, the danseuse-a
mysterious person who brought letters
from the Empress Maria Theresa to the
ladies Of the British aristocracy, who
are seen holding her shawl at the wings
while she dances on the stage. Violette's
birth was noble. The drunken incident
seen by play goers of our times in the
play of David Garrick is a true one,
Garrick having promised the lady of
title who protected Violette that he
would disgust her with him, the patro-
ness looking for a higher match. But
SO touched was she by Davy's magma
nimity that the lady relented, and gave
her consent to the match, and dowry
of $4,000 to the bride.-Okve Logan,
IN Harper's Magasine.

Inability Of the stomach to act upon the food
is productive Of serious and speedy mischief
to the entire bodily economy. The circulation
lsnguishes and grows poor; leanness, pallor.
and loss Of muscular and organic power
supervene: but worse than this, the functions
associated with and dependent upon digestion,
such as evacuation and the secretion OF bile,
grow irregular. and the organs whose business
It is to discharge those functions become badly
disordered. This disastrous state OF things is
more readily and thoroughly rectified with
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters than any known
medicinal agent. The stomach being invigo.
rated. the life-gvng principles OF the blood
are increased, the system properly nourished,
leanness and debility overcome, and the bowels
and liver thoroughly and promptly regulated.

A Coon WoRD FOR DOGGY
Ha,dly any animal has become so
thoroughly civilized as the dog. The
domestic cat, with all its love Of To-
cality, has taste for vagabondizing,
and there is hankering for jungles
still IN its blood. The horse is fond
of bis stable, but if he Ia otherwise az
fectioDate he is not demonstrative.-
TO the dog, return of his attachment
seems to be a prime necessity. II the
family leaves its home, the cat stays
behind and makes friends with the
new corners, while the dog follows 10
the fresh domicile and settles himself
quietly in his new quarters. he IS
grateful for kindness, never forgets
benefits, and forgives injuries if they
are inflicted by the bands of Which he
is fond. 1t is needless to say that his
affection IS returned. He is useful
and he knows it, because his useful
ness is so pre- mptly and lovingly com
mauded. He shares sense of pro-
perty, partakes Of the sport, IS glad
when pladness rules the home, aud
melancholy when there is sadness
there. No wonder that he il made
much! No wonder that mems regard
for hun is perpetuated in all ages and
all chimes that. his merits are com
memorated in poems, and his exploits
recorded in history that "anecdotes
of dogs" are quite as common as an
ecdotes of men, and frequently much
more to the credit of the quadruped.

Old Time AnccdOte.

"Halloo, you man with pail and
trork, can you inform me whether his
honor, the Governor of Vermont,
lives here 2" said British officer, as
he brought his fiery horse to stand
in front of Gov. Chittenden's dwelling.
He does" was the response OF the
man, still vending his way to the pig
sty. "Is bis honor at home 7" con-
tinued the man of the spurs. "Most
certainly" replied the frock. "Take
my horse by the bit then,' said the
officer. 81 have business to transact
with your MASTER Without a Sec
ond bidding. the man did as requested
and the officer alighted and made his
way to the door, and gave the panel
several hearty raps with the butt Of
his whip-for he knew that in those
days of republican simplicity, knockers
and bells, like servants, were in but
little use. The good dame answered
the summons in person: and having
seated the officer and ascertained his
desire to see the Governor, departed
to inform her husband of the guests
arrival but on ascertaining that the
officer had made hitching-post Of
her husband, she Immediately in
formed him that her husband was en-
gagged in the yard, and could not very
well wait upon him and his horse a
the same time. The predicament Of
the officer can better be imagined
than described.

The "Isugs.'

The potato bugs are opening the
campaign in vigorous manner. The
number far exceed anything we ever
had before, and they begin their work
of destruction earlier. Their mischief
is not confined to potatoes, but toma
toes are attacked and destroyed us
well, if not prevented. What TO do
for them is great question. 1t seems
to us certain that the brushing OF the
vines In picking them and knocking
them of have injured the crop, and
we have heard some say that the same
is true of the application of Paris
green and other poisons. One thing
seems certain in our locality, which is,
that from their numbers aud continual
flying from place to place, hand pick
ing will DO Cf.nO avail to save the
crop on any considerable area, and
poisoning seems to be the only resort
We urge great care in the use Of SO
powerful and subtle poison as Paris
green, for which we have AZ yet seen
no effective substitute BE careful
not to inhale it and We should prefer
using it in water TO using it dry with
-four or plaster.-[Montpelier Free
