done for the Irish that We must, In all SINGER
ify, state that il has comparatively dcne moth
ing. for without the Irish votes the democrat
ic party would soon cease to exist. In poiit-
ical sense, the democratic party owes US
everything, the republicans nothing; YET, IN
al truthfulness, it must be said that we have
got decenfer recognition from the latter
than from the former. Besides. when the
republicans give nominations and Offices to
Irishmen, they do so as reward of merit
and respeciabiiity. while the democratic
leaders, regardless of the moral or social
standing of parties, are Influenced in their
choice solely by the nominees power IN con.

If we go through the Government Offices

While firmly holding that the recognition
of anv nationality should never be permitted
to interfere with the Constitution or rights OF
Americans. we are of opinion that independ-
ence of action and good organization are
necessary among our Irish citizens, in order
to secure the influence and privileges to
which they are eutitled.
The Germans are consolidated by societies.
, and are less subject than the Irish t" party
influences. They are just as ready TO vote
for a republican as democrat if bis record

Terrible Tales OF Famine.

The London PM MI Gi-e.e says:
The famine in Az'rbaeejan and the ad-
joining districts OF Asiatic Turkey, in
spite OF various assurances to the con
trary. has not abatCd Letters from
Uroomieh, Tauris. and other places
speak in narrowing terms OF the suffer
ing of the people. Cases Of cannibalism
have occurred in the neiehborhood OF
Van, where the famine seems 10 be the
most severe. At Khoi and other places
all the dogs have been eaten. This
speaks volumes when ii is remembered
how repulsive an animal dog is to
Mussulmans. The mortality, particu-
larry among the Kurdish tribes Of the
mountain districts is great. Al Selmas
typhus has carried of many lives. A
letter from this latter place says: "The
streets are full OF lead bodies. which
are generally only buried when in a state
of putrefaction. People are afraid OF a
plague adding its horrors TO those of the
famine. Wheat cost $3.50 ton, the
newly y-harvested barley $50" A letter
from Uroomieh says: :" | am very much
afraid Of an epidemic disease declaring
itself here; the mortality is frightful,
dead bodies are left lying in the streets,
and then drawn to the burial ground ike
carcasses OF horses. The ensuing month
will probably be more terrible. The
Catholic mission has expended in relief
about $4,000 (all that it had to dispose
Of, the American mission about $50. .0cC
both sums drops in the ocean. The
Christians here have suffered less than
the Mussulmans. OF the former, con-.
paratively speaking. very few have died
of starvation. The harvest will bring
some relief. but hardly any for the ut
terly destitute, who have not the where
withal to buy even one pound of bread
Another correspondent says: "As the
dogs have mostly died or been killed for
food, the place is divested of its guar
dians, and is exposed night and day to
the attacks of the kurds who come from
the mountains toplunder. We are al.
most in a state of siege, and the firing
of guns never ceases at night; the roads
are very unsafe, bands of famished
Kurds plundering every traveller. Poor
villagers are robbed of their clothes,
which are hardly worth sixpence." The
Persian government does little toward
relieving the sufferings Of the people
for instance. at Uroomeih 1000 Mussul-
mans are receiving daily rations
bread.

A HINDOO HERCULES.
THE WONDERFUL ATHLETIC FEATs o.
BABAJEE TULsIRAM.

An entertainment of novel character
was given on March 6 at the house OF
Mr.. Morarjee Goculdas at Bombay, who
invited large number of guests to wit
ness some extraordinary feats of strength
on the part of the celebrated Deccan
athlete, Babajee Tulsiram. The COM
pany, which included many of the lead
ing inhabitants Of the city, sat in semi
circle, at either point of which were
placed several pretty little native boys
arranged in brilliant and costly apparel.
The picturesque dresses of the native
ladies who were present, the white robes
of the Parsee gentlemen and the gay colors
of Hindoo attire had a remarkably fine
effect when seen in conjunction with the
beautiful surroundings. After some pre-
liminaries in the way Of handing round
for inspection the materials with which
he intended to perform, and having salts
fed the company that there was no de-
ception, the athlete, tall, soldierly man,
some twenty years of age, and with
a magnificent development Of muscle, pro-
ceeded 10 crush a number of cowrics be-
tween the palms of his hands He COM
pletely ground them TO powder in this
manner, uttering during the process sharp,
shrill cries. which were probably intended
to express the magn itude of his exertions.
Then the performer placed cocolnut
upon the head of boy, and with what
appeared to be fearful blow, broke the
nut in pieces and scattered the milk in
all directions, without, strange TO say,
hurting the boy in any way. The next
feat was breaking stout coil of rope by
simply pulling it. One of the most ex-
traordinary parts of the performance was
the following: The athlete placed a
betel leaf between two Of his fingers and
then, by pressing the fingers together,
cut the leaf so as to throw the upper part
several feet high. But the most start
ling feat was the breaking of stone laid
on his chest The man lay down at full
length on some chairs, and a huge stone
weighing four Bengal maunds, was placed
on his chest. which was simply covered
by thin tunic. Two men then struck
the stone some tremendous blows with
heavy hammers, and after one or two at
tempts, the block rolled off the mans
chest in two pieces. He next made
several attempts to break cocoanut with
u handkerchief His mode of procedure
in this case was to roll the handkerchief
tightly in the shape ola ball, and then to
throw the ball upon the nut. Pulling
piece of sugar-cane into two exactly at
the joint, and bending thick iron plate,
were among the other teats performed.
The company then went out on the bal
cony, where the athlete cut sugar-cane
so as to throw up piece thereof 80 feet
high. 1t was done thus: \ man held
out scimitar with the edge dowowards,
and Babajee struck the cane upwards
against the edge of the sword, the piece
thus cut off flying great distance into
the air. This brought the performance
to close, and the performer was then
presented with handsome shawl.

The Strongest Man Living,

Joseph Pospischill, who is now a
prisoner i the Austrian fortress at Ofen,
on conviction of highway robbery, is
said to be the strongest man living.
One of the feats for which he was re-
nowned was to support in the air, with
his hands and teeth, table upon which
two gypsies danced, while third tid-
died. He and one OF his brothers, only
less powerful than himself, were wont
to bear upon their shoulders wooden
platform, shaped like a bridge, while a
cart full of stones. drawn by two horses
was driven over it. The other day, when
the Jail in which he was confined was
undergoing visit from the municipal
prison inspectors, this Hercules volnn-
teered to give the authorities specim IN
of his powers, and, upon receiving per-
mission tn do so, picked up with his
teeth heavy mahogany table, nine feet
long and balanced it aloft for nearly
a half minute.

WHAT EVERY COOK SHOULD
KNOW.

Keep salt in dry place.
Keep yeast in wood or glass.
Keep fresh lard in tin vessels.
Keep preserves and jellies in glass.
Keep meal and flour in cool, dry
place.
Keep vinegar in wood, glass or stone
ware.
Sugar is an admirable ingredient in
curing meat or fish.
Crusts and pieces of bread should be
kept in an earthen jar, closely-coyered, in
dry, cool place.
Lard for pastry should be used as hard
as it can be cut with knife. 1t should
be cut through the flour, and not rubbed.
In boiling meat for soup, use cold water
to extract the juices. If the meat is
wanted for itself alone, plunge into boil
ing water at once.
To prevent meat from scorching during
roasting, place basin of water in the
oven. The steam generated prevents
scorching and makes the meat cook bet
ter.
Broil steak without sailing. Salt
draws the juices in cooking. 1t is desira-
bic to keep these in, if possible. Cook
over hot fire; turn frequently, soaring
off both sides. Place on a platter salt
and pepper to taste.
Beef that has tendency to be tough
can be made very palatable by stewing
gently for two hours, with pepper and
salt, taking out about pint of liquor
when half done, and letting the rest boil
into the meat. Brown the meat in the
pot. After taking up, make gravy OF
