Eating Crow"

This well known phrase, which is so
often applied in political articles and
speeches to those who are constrained to
support a candidate whom theydo not like,
or have previously opposed, came into
vogue through an anecdote published in
the Rnickerbocker Magazine over o quarter
OF a century ago.:
1t was n story of a summer boarding
house keeper on the Hudson and of an in
dlgnant patron. Whenever the latter ven
tured to suggest that the spring chicken
was rather tough, or that the roast beef
must have been cut from the cows hoofs,
he was directly told that he was entirely
too pertickerler," and that the autocrat of
the table and the house could eat anything,
even n crow. This settled the matter for
the time being, but the boarder convinced
against his will was of the same opinion
still, at all events, in regard to the quality
of the edibles placed before him. So often
was the remark, 81 kin eat anything; l kin
eat a crow" brought down on his devoted
head that he finally resolved to try the old
man. He went out cunning one day and
succeeded in bagging a very fine, fat, old
black crow. He ven into the kitchen and
by dint of soft words and filthy lucre, in
duced the cook to allow him to prepare that
crow for the table. He boiled it nicely,

all. His heart misgave him; the finty old
cuss would eat it after all. The cook was
a Scotch woman and used snuff. He Dor
rowed all she had and sprinkled it literally
over the crow, gave her another simmer,
and then taking it on a salver brought it
before his host, saying as he sat it down,
Now, my dear sir, you hrve said a thous-
and times, if you have said it once, that
you can eat crow. Here is one very care
fully cooked" 1t is said that the old man
turned pale for a moment, but braced HIM
self against the back of his chair, and with
Il kin eat crow" he began, cutting a good
mouthful. He swallowed it, and then pre-
pairing for a second onslaught, he looked his
boarder straight in the eye, while he ejacu-
lated, give eaten crow and took his sec
ond portion. He lifted his hands mechanic
ally, as if for a third onslaught, but drop
ped them quickly over the region of the
stomach, and, rising hurriedly and UNI
steadily, retreated for the door, muttering
as he went, "but dang me if 1 banker
arter it"

The following statement of William
J. Coughlin, of Somerville, Mass, is so
remarkable that we beg to ask for it
the attention of our readers. He says:
in the fall of 1876 l was taken with
a violent bleeding of the lungs, followed
by a severe cough. l Don began to
losU my appetite and flesh. l was so
weak at one time that l could not leave
my bed. In the summer of 1877 L was
admitted to the city hospital. While
there the doctors said l had a hole in
my left lung as big as a half dollar. l
expended over a hundred dollars in
doctors and medicines. l was so far
gone at one time a report went around
that l was dead. l gave up hope, but
a friend told me of DR.. VIM. Halls
Balsam for the Lungs. l laughed at
my friends, thinking that my case was
incurable, but | got a bottle to satisfy
them, when to my surprise and gratii-
cation, L commenced to feel better.
My hope, ono dead, began 10 revive,
and to-day 1 feel in better spirits than
l have the past three years.
81 write this hoping you will publish
it, so that every N afflicted with Dis.
eased Lungs will be induced to take
DR.. VIM. HALLS Balsam for the Lungs,
and be convinced that Consumption
can be cured. l have taken two bot.
ties, and can positively say that it has
done more good than all the other
medicines 1 have taken since my sick,
ness. My cough has almost entirely
disappeared. and l shall soon be able t.
go to work" Sold by druggists.

Value of Oatmeal.

Oatmeal is n food of great strength and
nutrition, having claims to be better known
and more widely used than it is ut the pres
ent. OF much service as q brain food, it
contains enough phosphorus to keep a man
doing a N ordinary amount of brain-work
in health and vigor. All medical authori-
ties unite in the opinion that, eaten with
milk, it is a perfect food, and, having all
the requisites for the development of the
system, it is a pre-emineutly useful food
for growing children and the young gener-
ally. Oatmeal requires much cooking to
effectually burst its starch cells, but when
1t is well cooked it will thicken liquid
much more han equal its weight in wheat
en- flour. The oats of this country are su-
perior to those grown on the continent and
the southern part of England, but certainly
inferior to the Scotch, where considerable
pains are taken to cultivate them, and it is
needless to point out that the Scotch are
an example of n strong and thoroughly
nation, which result is Justly set
down as derived from n plentiful use of
outmeal. DR.. Guthrie has asserted that
his countrymen have the largest heads of
any nation in the world-not ever the En-
glish having such large heads-which he
attributes to the universal use of oatmeal,
as universal it is, being found alike on the

the evening the traditional cake. The two
principal ways of cooking oatmeal are
porridge and cake %(bannock) which I will
First, then, we will commence
with a recipe for porridge: To three pints
of boiling water add n level teaspoonful of
salt and a pint of coarse meal, stirring
while it is being slowly poured in; con-
tinue stirring until the meal is diffused
through the water-about eight or ten
minutes. Cover it closely then, and place
it where it will simmer for an hour; avoid
stirring during the whole of that time.
Serve hot, with as littlemessing as possible,
accompanied with milk, maple-syrup or
and cream. To make oatmeal-cake,
place in a bowl n quart of meal, add to it
as much cold water as will form it into a
soft, light dough, cover it with a cloth
fifteen minutes to allow it to swell, then
dust the paste-board with meal, turn out
the dough and give it a vigorous kneading.
Cover it with the cloth a few minutes and
proceed at once to roll it out to an eighth
of an inch in thickness; cut it in five
pieces and partly cook them on a griddle,
then finish them by toasting in front of
the fire.

How to Make a PouIticc.

DIR. Brunton, in Brain, the new London
periodical, gives the following useful hints
on this subject: The common practice of
making poultices by mixing linseed meal
with hot water and applying. it directly to
the skin is quite wrong, because if we do
not wish TO burn the patient we must wait
until n great portion of the heat has been
lost. The proper method is to make a
flannel bag, the size Ofthe poultice required,
TO fill this with the linseed poultice, as hot
as it can possible be made, and to put be-
tween this and the skin n second flannel,
so there shall be Mt least two thickneeses
of lannel between the skin and the poul-
tice itself. Above the poultice should be
placed more flannel, or a. piece of cotton
wool, TO prevent it from getting cold. BY
this method we are able TO apply the lin
seed meal boiling hot, without burning the
patient, and the heat, gradually diffusing
through the flannel, affords n grateful sense
of relief, which cannotb be obtained by other
means. There are few ways in which such
marked relief is given to abdominal pain,
as by the application of a poultice in this
ann

your Judgment and to your heart? AS we
stand tonight upon the he ght, after twenty
years Of Republican rule, let us look back
ward for moment over he long line of our
march, described by bivouac, battle field
and camp fires CLEAN. See how grand have
been the achievements of this great Repub-
hcan party. l remember when it broke
camp in 1856 that it was in the interest of
free soil; and the first march it made and
the first victory it won, it gave to the re-
public domain forever consecrated to free
speech, free homes and free men 1t saw

1t resolemnized the nuptials of national uni

lifted up the fallen and insulted banner Of
the republic, and carrying it into the very
van of marching empire, cOmpe led it's enc

the majesty of it's presence. It laid it's hand
upon the fatering, wavering public credit,
and to-day it stands erect in the conscious
ness of its strength, peerless among the ma

there be no wavering or faltering in the line
until we plant our standards on the enemies
breastworks and unfurl our banners in the

A Poet s Neglected Grave.

The grave of William Wordsworth, in
the churchyard of Grasmere, "between
yew tree of his own planting and an
aged thorn is in a deplorable state of
neglect. A writer for the English paper
called the Builder recently paid it o.
visit, and the following is his report of
what he discovered: "We saw path
among the grave mounds, about one foot
in width, and followed it, and it led to a
dirty dark corner, where several blue
black headstones of slate stood. Gould
this be the resting place of natures ten
der lover? It was, and we felt chill
come over us. The day was beautiful,
the sun was shining in cloudless sky,
but everything around the spot we had
come to seek seemed decayed and with
cred, like grave in the centre of dirty
smoky town, not in beauteous Gras-
mere. No green grass was there; all was
dull, dank, and depressing. The poets
corner must be badly drained, for we
could scarcely get near enough to read
the inscription, in consequence Of an ac-
emulation of water that forms trench
at least an inch deep at the base of the
stone curb that held the iron rails sur
rounding the grave"

In a nut Shell.
From Demorest's Monthly.]

A very dainty dinner was given recent
ly on the sea-coast of Massachusetts, in
which each guest was furnished with a
menu card mounted on panels of silk
plush, deliberately decorated in colors.
The cards were beautiful pearl clam
shells painted in the most artistic fashion,
and small bouquet, the central figure
of which was tiny sunfower surround
ed by choice blossoms and greenery.
Among the dishes served were plovers,
dough birds, Spanish mackerel, soft
crabs, and turbot (king of the sea-, but
the daintiest tidbiT was humming birds
in nut shell. When luxury was at its
height in the Roman Empire, the rare
dish was huge turkey or goose filed
with some smaller bird, which was again
stuffed with still smaller member of the
feathered tribe, and so on till last of all
some very small and dainty game bird
constituted the "inner mystery of the
whole dish. Modern culinary art has not
yet attempted to reproduce these won
derful dishes, yet there is no doubt that
a modern French course dinner is far
more appetizing than any of the feasts of
the Greeks or Romans Humming birds
in nut shell, are no doubt nice, but are
not likely to be verv popular dish.
