INSTRUMENTATION many quar-
rels would be made up were it not for
interlopers? 1t sometimes happens
that men who have cut each Other on
some foolish retext for monies OF
years, fuding themselves standing
close to each other in society, and are
on the point OF swallowing their
pride aad shaking hands, when an
idle fellow begins conversation with
one of them, and the opportunity Is
gone, perhaps never to return. Again
how many marriages are prevented
by interlopers? An interrupted pro-
posal is not always continued. An
innocent person entering a room In
order to write note may spoil all by
appearing at the critical moment ; and
sven a servant with a coal-box has
been known to put to fight a nervous
sutton. Indeed, servants are muct
given to interloping. If a wife is te
be consulted, a child scolded, or ar
awkward question preached, an over
Jealous domestic is sure to become
interested in the condition of the
drawiug,room fire, or commence prep
srations for afternoon tea. But Oh
what triAes important matters depend
We remember a boy losing a fine
estate by jumping over flower bee

What singular cases we hear Of in
the newspapers. The death cf Miss
Sarah Smith in Washington county
Pa, last week, was an extraordinary
case of involuntary starvation. Her
stomach became SO disordered that
after food passed from her tongue to
the palate it became bitter and was
instantly rejected, not affording any
nourishment. In every other respect
her health was good. She was thus
unable to take TODD for forty.three
days and her weight was reduced to
fifty pounds.

Down in Massachusetts, along BY
the sea, they treat summer visitors t(
a clam. bake as a most royal feast
The way of making it sounds a little
rough but that is all forgotten when
it comes to eating. They dig capa
cious basin in the sand. This they
make with cobblestones. Then they
build a fire on the stones. When the
stones are hot enough for cooking
they pile on CLANS about a foot or two
deep. Then sweet corn in the husk
potatoes and blue fish, each sewed VI
in bags, are put on top Of the clans
The pile is covered over with sail
cloth and over that covering Of sea
grass. The operation has of course
been superintendent by veteran cook
He knows when it is done and pro-
eeeds to uncover and serve it out
The walters take the delicious COM
pound on pine board plates to the
guests who stand along rough tables
in big canvass tent. The blue fish,
corn and potatoes are cooked by the
steam from the clans. One can easily
imagine that clam bake with other
"Gxens" might make very palatable
lunch with the ocean air giving an ap'

EVENTS AND GO MMENTS.

The great aare.up in the Sprague
family has evidently not done any
substantial injury to Senator Conk-
ling among his political brethren in
New York. He won his most bril-
liant victory last week. He presided
at the State convention and the con-
vention nominated his particular
friend, Mr.. Cornell, for Governor, in
face of the fact that Cornell was de-
cidedly distasteful to the Hayes adj
ministration. Meantime the Sprague
sensation has broken out afresh. Mrs
Sprague made sudden flight from
her husbands mansion few days age
taking with her three Of the children
Sprasuc made frantic pursuit on al
The roads but the right one and O.
course did not succeed in capturing
her. The next thing will probably
be divorce. The Sprague couple
are evidently troubled with incom'
patlbility Of temper.
The dollars of the daddies, which
is silver, gives the government good
deal of trouble, because it will moi
circulate freely. Of course any per
son would rather take silver dollar
than nothing, especially for a bad
debt. But still it is an unpopular
coin. AS for the trade dollar it is re-
garded as only nuisance by business
men. 1t was recently ordered thai
all the clerks in Washington shoulc
take ten per cent of their pay in sill
yer dollars and the same order viii
apply to members Of Congress. Bu'
still the pesky coins will find theil
way back to the treasury. Silver dol
lars appear to be very unpopular IL
fact all the world over. In Germany
France and England the governments
have tho same trouble keeping then
in active circulation. Every body
likes money but they growl as if the,
hated the very sight Of it in the shape
of silver dollars. The silver craze il
over.

control over the deliberations of the grand

the climate of this country does not agree
with him, he straightway applies for a posi-
ton as invalid consul or consumptive minis
ter In some warm or sunny climate which
will prove beneficial to his health. This idea
OF our diplomatic service became prevalent
early In Hayes reign. Comfy, of the Ohio
State Gazette, has played no unimportant part
Hayes nomination, and was requested by
the latter to select any office he wanted.
Comfy was suffering, he stated, from bron-
chial affection and wanted place that would
prove beneficial TO his weak lungs He first
proposed Nice, but upon the suggestion of
friend that the Sandwich Islands afforded
just the climate he wanted, withdrew his ap-
plication for the Nice consulship and asked
for the position of Minister to the Sandwich
Islands, which was, Of course, given him.
Everybody remembers the case of Jim An
derson, who wanted consulshp In "a warm
climate, and was promised a position at Fun
chal for the benefit of his weak lungs
The latest case of invalid craftsmanship is
that OF the retiring Michigan Senator Chris
tiancy, who has just been given the position
OF Minister to Peru, because his lungs were
too weak for the rigorous climate of Michigan
or Washington, and " no now goes to Lima to
recruit his health.
Evidently, In Hayes eyes, our diplomatic
service is only Intended as a hospital or asy-
lum for decayed politicians, whose weak
lungs and bad health are to be recruited
abroad at the expense of this government.
