A Lady's Pet Fishes.

There lives in Sandwich, Mass, ON the
borders of one Of the most charming lakes in
America, Mrs. F. H. Burgess. 1t was her
custom once or twice day for quite period
to feed the fish Of this lake, and few days
ago we CHANGED TO be favored with All invi-
tation to witness this novel feast. She first
splashes the water with her hand, when in q
moment there may be seen approaching from
every direction hundreds OF large sinners,
then eels, varying in size from one to about
three feet in length, was seen cautiously ap-
preaching. Next turtles appear on the sur
face, ten, twenty and thirty feet away, their
necks, stretched apparently to see
whether 1t is friend or foe who
is disturbing the waters. In
less than three minutes these various species
had collected before her, and as she com
menced to feed the water was fairly alive
with them. They take bread directly from
her hands, and turtles would allow her TO
take them entirely out of the water, and
while she held them in one hand they would
eat with the greatest voracity from the other.
But the eels amused us most. There was
one she called Ruin, measuring about fee
in length, that came repeatedly to the sur.
face, and would glide back and forth through
her hands, and several times she lifted him
partially out Of the water, but he was careful
to keep his head under. He seemed to fae
that she would take no undue liberties will
him so long as his head was in its natural ella
nient, but tie moment he saw daylight ht
would dart hack as only All eel could. An
other small one, about foot in length
seemed to be PARTICULARLY fond OF her caresse
and could be handled about as she pleased
it being understood that he was to remain
under water, though.

Why we Commence Dinner With
Soup.

The rationale Of the initial soup has often
been discussed; some regard it as calculated
to diminish digestive power, on The theory
that so much fluid taken at first dilutes the
gastric juices. But there appears to be no
foundation for this belief. \ cl ar soup dis
appears almost immediately after entering
the stomach, and in no way interferes with
the gastric juice, which is stored in its sp-
propriate cells ready for action. The habit
If commencing dinner with soup has, with
out doubt its origin in the fact that aliment
in this fluid forni-in fact, ready digested-
soon enters the blood and rapidly refreshes
the hungry mau, who, after considerable fast,
and much activity sits down with feeling of
exhaustion to commence his principal meal.
In two or three minutes after he has taken
plate Of good, warm soup, the feeling OF ex-
haustion disappears, and irrltability gives
way to the gradual rising sense of good fel-
lowship with the circle. Some persons have
the custom of allaying exhaustion with
glass of sherry before food-a gastronou,ic
no less than physical blunder, iniuring the
stomach and depraving the palate. The
soup introduces at once into the system a
small installment OF ready -digested food, and
save the short period Of time which must be
spent by the stomach i'll deriving some nutri-
ment from solid aliment, as we'll as indirectly
rengthenDs the organ of digestion itself for
its forthcoming duties.

A PENNSYLVANIA BOY.

Nearly forty years ago, in South
Huntingdon township, Westmoreland
county, says the Pittsburg 5etegraph,
lived John Hinton. He was an orphan
boy, rude and uneducated. and had
wandered there from the neiphborhood
Of Masontown, Fayette county.
With no known relatives. he was
kicked from one family 10 another ill
manhood, enlisting then in the war
AT its close he helped TO escort the
Cherokees beyond the MississipDi
From Indian Territory be went 10
New Orleans and shipped as a com.
mon sailor on'a vessel bound for the
East Indies. At the bay of Madras
on the western shores Of the bay Of
Bengal, he deserted, and enlisted in a
British regiment. He served many
years, aud during the memorable Sc
ppy rebellion was noted for his daring
bravery. At his discharge be was
presented with a gold medal by the
Governor General himself
He is next heard Of travelling in a
caravan from Delhi, westward across
the Indus river, through Afghanistan
and Persia, TO Turkey and back.
In time, from trading, he became
immensely wealthy, and was the owner
Of five caravans containing over 49,
900 horses and camels and fifty ele-
phanH.
In 1854 he visited Cabul, the capital
Of Afghanistan, for copper, great
quantities of which are there mined
and smelted. His magnificent retinue
attracted the attention Of the Ameer.
and he was invited TO an audience
an honor never before received by a
Christian. A present Of a hundred Of
his best horses aud three tuEked ele-
phant made the Amer his eternal
friend. When, yearly, it was followed
by similar presents, beside camels and
merchandise, John Hinton gained the
monopoly Of trade from the summit Of
the Iiindoo kosh Mountains 10 the
confines Of Belochistan, aud in real
power is second only to the Ameer
himself. About 1870 he was made
Military Commander Of the District
Of Herat, and in 1876 suppressed
local rebellion to the great satisfaction
Of his sovereign. Trained in the arts
Of war among the sayages Of North
America, and aueng the supersti,ious

The LAST ACT.

STEAMER RANDALL LAYS down rHE CAyEt-
In the House at Washington on
Friday. the lth of March, Mr.. Conger
said that it was with pleasure he was
permitted to offer the following rcso.
luton: That the thanks of the House
are due and rendered the Hon. Samuel
J. Randall, the speaker, for the ability,
fairness and courtesy with which he
has presided over its deliberations dur
ing the Forty.sixth Congress. This
resolution was adopted, the only mega.
tive being cast by Mr.. Young.
Mr.. Randall, at high noon, said ;
The work of the Forty-sixth Con.
gress is done. Before uttering the
final words of its adjournment, pre-
cedent justifies few appropriate re-
Elections. In 1874 the Democratic
party, after long interval, obtained
control of this House. With the close
of this session it is again in a minority.
At the outset it had to face a financial
crisis almost unparalleled in our his
tory, labor unemployed, trade depress-
ed, commercial distress, widespread
gloom everywhere. 1t stopped ex.
travagance, established economy in
administration, restored confidence,
and now with gladness it beholds the
republic launched on a career of un.
exampled prosperity. 1t found gold
at a premium and the notes of the
government at discount. 1t leaves
the credit of the United States better
than ever before and unequalled in
the money markets of the world. II
has witnessed the removal of sectional
distrust and the restoration of perfect
unity within our borders. 1t has
given birth to new era of fraternal
concord. Men of all classes and
every section seem nov to strive who
shall best serve the common veal.
With the expenditures of the govern.
ment lessened, and the payment of in.
terest reduced, the crowning triumph
of Democratic administration was the
effort to refund the public debt at
three per cent. Slight laughter on

men. So, after the reprover OF sin,
