Eating Crow.

The origin of the phrase "eating
crow" is appropriately revived in these
convention days. An old farmer on
the Hudson below Albany took sum-
mer boardeIs to exc out the profits of
his farm. He sold the best of his farm
products, however, and often palmed
off on his boarders "storer articles
bought at lower price. To their muir
murs he replied, 81 kin eat anything. 1
kin eat crow" This remark was re-
peated so often that one of the guests
finally shot crow and got the cook to
prepare it for dinner. Fearful however
that the farmer might have stomach for
even such a dish, the bird was literally
seasoned while cooking with Scotch
snuff. The farmer was rather taken
back when the dish was placed before
him, but had too much pluck to give in
beaten without trial, and attacked
the bird with the remark, 81 kin do it."
At the second bite he repeated, 81 kin
eat crow" and as he suddenly suspend
ed the operation of cutting the third
mouthful, and hegan a retreat toward
the door, he added, "but dang me if 1
banker arter it !"

Editor .Nar:-As humble member OF genteel
society. l am not little puzzled to know how
to act in certain cases, and wish Mrs. d., Mrs.
r., or some other Of our leading society ladies
would deign to enlighten me. You may call me
Mrs. Green, if you please, but that is not my
real name, although you may think it ought to
be. Well have large calling acquaintance,
and we wish to give an elegant party. Our
parloTS are not large enough to accommodate
comfortably over two hundred and fifty per-
sons. l sit down to run over the names of those
we should like to invite, ana before / am half
way through my list / have checked OFF more
than we could possibly entertain. OF course,
am careful not TO overlook any to whom we are
indebted for similar hospltalities. Is not this
an imperative duty? l ask this question be-
cause we have occasionally felt sighted from
having been left out by those who had accepted
and received like attention from us. Now, it Is
impossible 10 invite all or even One-half our
friends with whom We may have exchanged calls.
or who may, perhaps, have been present by inyi-
taion at some informal gatherings at our house
when no. refreshments were provided. What
where. Unayoidably we are obliged to pass
over many whose company We should like
equally as well as that OF others whom we in
vite. This is source CT regret; but this is not
the worst OF it. We meet some Of the former,
and Immediately discover. by their looks or
actions, that they have taken offence because
not invited. Some will even turn away without
recognition. They have no special claim on us,
and yet they make us feel that we are guilty OF
a wrong toward them. What should we do to
make amends? Must we give series OF enter
talnmentS, in order to serve all alike? with few
only is this practicable; and even were it other
wise, it would be impossible to guard against all
Jealousy. Seeing, then, that none are overlooked
whose hospitalities we have ourselves enjoyed
and you know we feel under obligation to re-
ciprocate such ospitalities-should we not be
allowed the liberty, without offence, of making
our own selection, and inviting only8uch num-
Der OF our friends as we are able to accommo-
date? Yours truly, p. GREEN.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1O.-The Post in its financial
article to-day says: The stock exchange mar
kets are quiet, except for Z. S. bonds, which are
active and strong at yesterdays remarkable ad-
vance, Railroad investments, both bonds and
shares are strong and higher. Speculative
bonds are slightly lower with the chief activity
comes. The net earnings of the Iron Mountain
for the year 1879, it is said on good authority,
exceed 81 800 000 while the interest on all classes
of the bonds amounted to about S2e0, 900. The
recent rise of the Sa10 per cents in the
Iron Mountain incomes rest on the belief that the
back interest on them up to December 81 will be
paid. Chesapeake and Ohio bonds have been
notably strong. The market for speculative
came strong before the first board, and has so
remained up to the time that we write. The
leading stocks have been Erie Wabash and Pa

THE DISTRESS IN IRELAND.
Millions Lost by the Failure of the
Potato Crop.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1O-A special from London
says:-The Duchess of Marlborough writes to
the lord mayor that there is no eyaggeration in
saying that millions have been lost In the west
Of Ireland by the utter failure Of the potato
crop. But for benevolence numbers must
endure the greatest misery. Nor does the
Duchess think that the fearful loss is entirely
Que to the elements. 1t is also due to the dete-
rioration Of the potato plant, from the fact that
for years the best potatoes have been eaten and
The worst sown. The supply of potato seed for
next year must be an anxious thought to ALL
SO that narrowing recurrence of the distress
may be prevented. Blankets, clothing, and
CASTOR clothing for children are much desired.
