Eorwex an Table Etiquette.

Table manners are at a low ebb in Nor
way. Consistency does not seem to be re-
garded as a jewel. The same people who
bow so very tremendously to each other and
express sympathy and interest in the veriest
tribes of life, and who dance and grimace
fully FIVE minutes at an open door before
they can determine which shall enter first,
are exceedingly ill-bred during meal time.
Their knives wander so far down their
throats that one must at least admire
their courage, though failing to appreci-
ate its objecf. In these feats they rival the
professional knife-swallowers OF Bombay.
They hold their forks like pens. Even a
four-tined fork i. notconsidered too unwieldy
to use as tooth-pick. All knives are put
promiscuously into the butter-dish, which

John w. Gniteau says in reference to his
knowledge of the Snyder affidavit that he
has compared the names of the four jurors
written on the margin of the newspaper with
the legitimate signatures written in his
album and finds the similarity such that
would warrant anyone ON making an affidavit
that he verify believes the writing on the pa
per was by the jurors. His sister also has
an album with the signatures of the jurors
and others connected with the trial.

The four jurymen whose signatures, it is
alleged, appear on copy OF the Critic, APP
pended to the affidavits filed by the defense
in the Guiteau case Saturday, with a motion
for new trial, deny most positively that n
copy of that or any other paper was ever in
their apartments at the hotel, and declare
they never had pen in their hands during
the whole course of the trial except to write
autographs for outside parties, and that this
was always done in the room occupied by the
bailiffs and in the immediate presence of
those officers. The general impression with
those who have examined into the matter, is
that 1t is a clever piece of forgery.

The Mississippi Overflow of 1874.

Lille IN the Mississippi swamp is
unique, but perhaps never so much so
as during that Snemorable summer The
skallowest wafer. for indefinite miles in
any direction, YVES two feet deep. the
nearest land, the Hills of the Arkan-
saw" thirty miles away. The mules
were quartered on the upper floor OF
the Clubhouse; the cattle had been all
drowned long ago; planter, negroes and
overseer were confined in their respect
i've domiciles; the grist-mill was under
water, and there was no means of pre-
parIng corn for culinary purposes ex-
cept wooden hominy mortar The
hog and hominy diet $50 highly extolIed
by some people who never lived on it,
was adopted of necessity, the former
being represented by mess pork, salter
than tongue can tell.
There were no visitors except now
and then a sociable snake, which, no
doubt, bored by swimming around in
definitely in the overflow, and craving
even human companionship, would glide
up on the gallery Of some of the houses.
There was no means of locomot;on ex-
cept the skiff and the humble but ever
serviceable dug out-nowhere to go and
nobody within days journey otherwise
or more comfortably situated. The only
sense of sympathy from without was had
from remote and infrequent glimpses
of the gallant steamer j. NJ. White,
which, leaping from point to point.
made better time from New Orleans to
st. Louis than was ever made before or
for many years after.
That year nineteen plantations out of
twenty failed to produce single pound
of cotton or single bushel of corn, and
when the food was over and the swamp
Noahs came out of their respective
arks they were, to say the least, malcon-
tent. They were not ruined, of course,
but they had lost whole years gross
income.
Moreover, the prestige of the swamp
as cotton country was wofuIly dimin-
ished. The planters in the Hills" as
the uplands are denomiuated, began to
hold up their heads, no longer over
crowed by the extraordinary crops al
legged to have been heretofore produced
in the swamp.
The swamp planters set to work to
redeem the disaster and to provide, as
far as possible, against it's recurrence.
With the purpose of retrieving their
financial fortunes they took some unique
measures. There is tradition that, at
public meeting held in GreenviIle,
Miss, in October, 1874, among other
more commonplace resolutions one was
gravely and unanimously adopted to the
effect that demand of payment within
twelve months from that date of any
debt, great or small, upon any planter
who had been overfowed that year
should be considered distinctly "per-
sonaln-a clear case for pistols and cof-
fee. The code was certainly a curious
institution, but, probably, this is the
only instance in which it was expected
to do duty as stay law.

The Great West.

At the opening of this century Buffa-
10, between Lakes Erie and Ontario,
the West, and Cleveland and Detroit
were the Far West; the wild creature
that gave its name to this town might
still be heard Of here and it was a great
Jer exploit to visit Niagara than to ex-
plore the Rocky Mountains is now.
From that time to this the West and
Far West have been steadily receding,
until the Pacific Ocean has put stop
to their retreat and now they are COM
ing back upon us from California and
Oregon. Let rs call our empire on the
Pacific coast the New West, as Mr.
Bowles named it, and let us term that
wonderful basin of the Missouri and It's
tributaries, and the region of "the I'M
salted seas" the Great West--for such
it is-indubitably West and unspeak-
ably great7-beyond even the ifnagina-
ton of an American orator to picture its
grand possibilities. Stretching from
the Gulf of Mexico to Lake Superior,
and from the Allegheny to the Rocky
Mountains, this enormous imperial
meadow is to be the home of so many
millions of a race SO fast developing
that fancy gives up the cOnundrum in
despair when asked what it will be like
hundred years hence For it is to be
observed that the march of civilization
changes even what one called the nat
ural features Of this realm Vast tracts
that were once deemed malarious and
almostuninhabitable are now the abode
of healthy and comfortable millions;
other vast regions that were set down in
the maps and written about by the.
learned as deserts, are now becoming
the most fertile portions of the earth;
while the planting of trees and digging
of canals in the prairie States give them
an aspect which the oldest inhabitants
can scarcely recognize. While we are
complaining in the Eastern and Middle
States of the destruction of our wood
lands, the West is burning its own coal,
and allowing its millions of square
miles to grow up to trees of hundred
varieties; SO that in fifty years the whole
appearance of the country from Chicago
to Colorado will be altered by thequiet
and immeasured growth of trees.
Meantime, new mineral wealth will be
discovered-as they are now finding
new deposits of strontium about Lake
Erie, and of iron west of Lake Superior
and thousand new manufacturing in
dustries will spring up where agricul-
ture is now the only art of labor. New
instrumentalities of commerce will be
be developed-perhaps superseding the
canal, and the whole activity of man
may be thrown into new channels. i
