TITLED AMERICANS

Lucy Roper writes from Paris to the
Philadelphia Telegraph: And by the
by, think we shall soon have to set I'D
an American peerage, iftitled Americans
continue to increase in number. do
not refer to the ladies Of our land who
have become lrincesses, duchesses. of
or countesses, by the simple process of
marriage, out to those more fortunate
individuals who bear upon their erst re-
publican brows the round and top of
Continental nobility. There is quite
g0odly group of these transatlantic mobiles
in Paris at the present time. First in
order of seniority of rank comes the
Baron and haroness D. Oyley, originally
DR.. and Ms John Evans. The Baron is
one Of the mo t Furnishing and popular
dentists of the American colony. and
:lme originally, believe, from Pbiladel
phia, deriving his title through his mother.
who was 4 Miss Doyle, her surname, as
any one can see, being a corruption of
the name Doyley. There is branch of
the Doyley family still Furnishing in
England, the head of which is the Adj
miral of that name, but whether they are
on intimate terms or not with their
Franco-American cousins I do not know.
They ought to be, for the Baron by reason
Of his title is Of course the chief of the
house. [ am told that the Baron was
recently created Marquis by the Pope,
but that he hesitates to assumes his high
er title while in the active practice of his
profession. Then we have the Baron and
Baroness de Hoffman, the Baron formerly
hoy
think his title descended to him from his
father, but have never had any precise
information on the subject. The Marquis
and Marchioness Murphy, who usually
reside in London, but who are at present
stopping at the Bristol, are from California,
the gentleman's title having been con-
ferred upon him by the Pope. So
really think the above instances form
quite a sufficient nucleus for the COM
mencement of an American peerage.

SHIPWRECKs IN BRITISH w ATERs-
Great Britain leads all other nations
IN the number of its shipwrecks, as well
as the extent of her commerce. This is
to be expected, Of course, considering
the excess of British shipping. But the
total of losses on the ocean, compiled by
the wreck Register, is nevertheless start
ling. During 1880 there were 2,519 YES
sells of all nations wrecked. During the
last twenty six years the number was
81 ,515. The number of lives lost was
1850, almost equal to the whole num-
Der of men required to man the present
British feet. The improvement of life
saving apparatus on shipboard, and the
watchfulness maintained on shore are
reducing the percentage of fatalities to
life from shipwreck-which is the only
encouraging feature of the record:

THE Democratic party is beginning to
find out what ais it. The Buffalo Cour-
Ter, an old dyed-in-the-wool democratic
journal, propounds the conundrum: "Is
there not some degree Of imbecility about
the management of the democratic par
ty?" Henry Watterson, Of the Louis
vile Courier-Journal gives vent to SINH
lar suspicion. He says: Eve want no
more pig and puppy campaigns, sand no
more now-you-see-it and noW-you-don' t
tickets. It is hard to die, but to die OF
a chronic nausea, an incurable self-tooth-
ing, is very uncomfortable.

AHUGE DEVIL-FIsH.-Sr JOHNS, N.
B., November 11.-Your correspondent
visited Portugal Cove last night for the
purpose of seeing a monster octopus
or devil-fish which ran ashore near the
mail steamers wharf, and was captured
by some fishermen. It is thirty three
feet in length from its tail to the termin-
alton Of the long tentacles. This is the
first fresh, complete, and unmutilated
specimen that has been secured and
landed of this monstrous fish, described
by Victor Hugo as "a huge glutinous
mass, with demoniac will. "-Ncv York

Fatting Turkeys.

The following is taken from the Amer
Jean Agriculturist:
The turkey Is one OF the finished pro-
ducts of the farm, and one of the great
est luxuries in the market. The farmer
should do his best in preparing his Hook
tor the shambles. The main business
now is to lay on fat. and the bird should
have. every night and morning. full
supply of nutritious and fattening food.
Instinrtively the turkey follows his feed,
and if the supply is abundant at the farm
ward, he will not stroll far from home.
Boiled potatoes, mashed and mixed with
meal, and fed moderately warm, are a
verv excellent iced, both to promote
growth and to fatten. If the pigs can be
robbed of part of their milk. and if it be
mixed with part of the hot potatoes and
meal. it will very much improve the dish
1t is very desirable to supply the place
of insects with some kind of animal food,
and butchers scraps are one of cheapest
and most desirablel HORNS of food for poul-
try. Grain should be given at least once
n day with the soft and warm feed. Moth
ing is better than sound corn. Old corn
should always be used tor this purpose.
The new corn keeps them too loose. In
feeding, only so much corn should be
thrown out as the birds will eat up clean
