Murderous Hazeltlne.

St. LOUIS, Mo, April 7.-Adyices
from Boisdare. Green county, Mo.
say that Chas. Hazeltine. a brother
of Congressman Hazeltine, living on
Clear creek. a few miles from the
above named town. attempted to
drown his wife in Il deep spring.
Friday last, but was prevented from
doing SO by his daughter.
Domestic infelicitv, growing out
of efforts on the part of Hazeltine to
control his wife's property, led to tie
attempted murder. Hazeltine fed.
and his whereabouts are unknown.
Should he return, he will doubtless
be lynched, as the Indignation of the
citizens against him is very great.

languid, wearied without exertion, the

Roman Cooks and Commands.

In Juvenal's time the salary of a
good cook was ten times higher
than that of a tutor, a man Of learn
ing and ability, who, according to
Lucian, was deemed well paid with
two hundred sesterces a year. The
salary of Dionysia, danseuse, was
100000. The house and establish
ments Of the two players in Panto-
mime, Bathyllus and Pylades, rivaled
those of the richest patricians.--
There were three Romans named
Apicius, each celebrated for devo-
ton TO gastronomy. The second,
who fourished under Tiberius, was
the most famous, and enjoys the
credit of having shown both dis
elimination and industry in the
qualification of his Appetite; 50
much so that his name has passed
into a synonym for an accomplished
epicure. After spending about
fS00,000 on his palate, he balanced
his books, and finding that he had
not much more than $4,000 left,
hanged himself to avoid living upon
such a pittance. Lempriere's YER
sion is that he made a mistake in
casting up his books, and hanged
himself under a false impression of
insolvency. A noted betting man
named Smith made the same mis-
take in casting up his books for the
Derby, and flung himself into the
sea. He was fished out, discovered
the mistake, and ever since went by
the name of Neptune Smith
Apicius unluckily had no kind friend
to cut him down. The outrageous
absurdities of Elagabalus equaled
or surpassed those of Caligula and
Nero. He fed the officers Of his
place with the brains of pheasants
and thrushes, the eggs Of partridges
and the heads of parrots. Among
the dishes served at his own table
were peas mashed with grains of
gold, beans fricaseed with morsels
of amber, and rice mixed with pearls.
His meals were frequently composed
of twenty-five services. Turning
roofs threw flowers with such pro
