The Healthy Telephone.

The telephone is blessed thing when
it is healthy, but when its liver is out of
order it is the worst nuisance on record.
When it is out of order that way you
can have lots of conversation that you
are not entitled to. For instance, we
answered the bell after it had rung
several times, and sweet little female
voice said:
Are you going to receive, to-mor-
row."
We answered that we were going to
receive all the time. Then she asked
what made us so hoarse. We told her
that we had sat in a draft from the bank,
and it made the cold chills run over us
to pay it. That seemed to be satisfactory,
and then she began to tell us what she
was going to wear. and asked if we
thought it was going to be too cold to
wear a low neck dress and elbow sleeves.
We told her that was what we were GO
ing to wear; then she began to complain
that her new dress was too tight in sew
eral places that she mentioned, and when
the boys picked us mp off the floor and
bathed our temples. and We told them
to take her away, they thought We were
crazy. If we have done wrong in talking

lady friend, we are willing to die. We

Why EnglIsmen Eat Meat.

The Pail Mall Gazette prints the fol.
lowing:
The true reason why we seem to the
visitors of our restaurants to have no
vegetables is that the cooks of Europe
have served an apprenticeship OF thous-
and years on the carcasses of OK, sheep,
deer, goose, hare and other game and
fish in fine variety. We are meat-eaters
because our fathers had little else to eat.
The plains and green hills of the cold
north were dotted with wild grazing ami
mails, as an English park is now dotted
with deer, or western prairie with an
telope and bison. There was no green
meat worth eating. A few generations
only have passed since our now common
est vegetables came from the Continent.
We are adding to their number every
day, and thus by the aid of cultivation
we are winning back our way to sim
pier, healthier food, and one more like in
kind that on which man subsisted in the
the tropical or subtropical regions
whence he origically came. But the
education of the cook bars the way to all
progress. Even when he gives US French
beans they swim in butter! The French
cooks, supposed to be the best, system
atically make the natural flavor of the
many delicate vegetables of their
markets secondary to that of butter
now alas! often only cart grease or hard
ened oil.
In our restaurants the best fish and
meat are always procurable. The vege-
table kingdom is usually represented by
mess of ill-smelling cabbage and
boiled potato. Under the circumstances
one wonders why anybody has the cour-
age to advocate vegetarianism; but at
the very time that this may be witnessed
in the restaurants our gardens are full
of tender vegetables. No doubt we may
have much to do to improve them, and
we ought to grow more than we do.
Nevertheless, it will all be almost use.
less until there is revolution in our
modes of cookery, in the sense of cook
ing and serving for their own
sakes, and in NEST cases with
out the aid of the animal kingdom, the
more delegate green vegetables that are
and may be grown in our gardens. Old
or inferior vegetables require the art of
the cook, and must be saturated with
grease and spices to make them edible.
The true art of cookery is to deal with
the best and tenderest kind of each, and
jealously preserve its flavor; but this
art is in any sense yet unborn. Those
who know our markets best can also
verify that no one connected with hotels
or restaurants ever takes the same
trouble to purchase the best vegetables
that they do with meat, fish or game.
They do not know or inquire after the
best quality, much less pay for it. Our
garden products should not be judged
by visit to any restaurant, however
! good

CONkLING AND CORNELL.
Tho Ex-senator Interviewed Regarding
ScRndalOus Story.


ScsndalOus Story.
The New York Commercial Aduertiser
prints an interview held this morning
with ex Senator Conkling on the article
which appears in tho Albany N. W
Jocrnal of Tuesday to the effect that Mr..
Conkling, in one instance, endeavored i'm
properly to induce Governor Cornell to
sign the bill relieving the Pacific steam
ship company from city tax Of 500, 600,
and, in another, offered the governor a
bribe to sign the bill to exempt the elevat-
ed railroad from taxation. Mr.. Ccnkliug
said, in regard to these charges. that he
had not been in Albany, and that it was
incredible that Governor Cornell could
have been privy to the circulation of them.
He spoke in a very gcneral way of the
attacks, and said until he had read them,
rs he would try to do in the course of a
week or SO, ho could not say anything
further.
Mr.. J. 3. Houston, president of the
Pacific msil steamship company, publishes
card in the Ecening Post, in which he
says: "Mr. Gould was absent from the
city and was never consulted in regard to
the bill referred to, nor did Mr.. C0nkling
have any connection whatever with it"

Senator Don Cameron has just been

of Rhode Island, he having indorsed paper

that the late senator deposited $40, 900 in
railroad stock in tho Riggs bank in order
to secure a loan. Subsequently the stock
was taken up and issued in a new form,
and Mr.. Burnside, wishing to get the new
issue, desired to withdraw the securities
upon which he had negotiated the loan.
This, he was informed, could not be

TROUBLE IN COKEA.

Reported ASSIMILATION OF the King and
Queen by the Anti-F oreiGn Party.
Private kilograms received in London
say that the troubles in COrea have cul
minated in general irsurrectiOn, and
that the king and queen have been as
sassinated. The Japanese legation was
attacked by natives belonging to tho
anti-fOreigu party, Japanese men-Of-war
have been dispatched to Seaul river.
A dispatch to tho press association says
that the report Of i revolution in COrea is
officially confirmed. A Japanese military
officer in tho service is among the killed.
The uprising above referred to is doubt
less the outcome of hostility to foreigners
which has been aroused by the recent con-
clusion of treaties with the United States
and other foreign countries. A year or
two ago similar uprising was started,
but by the diplomacy Of the king blood
shed was arrested. Corea is a peninsula
in tho northeast Of China. It is 600 miles
long by 100 wide, with 1900 miles of
water front, favorably situated for COM
merce, halfway between Japan and China,
rich in soil and timber, weak as a military
power, and without allies or friends. 1t
has has few substantial commercial ad-
vantages to offer to the outside world. Its
total trade with japan during 1881,
at the three opened ports, barely
exceeded 81, 25O.O 900. The area of the
country is only 81, 900 square miles, but
the population is dense, a3d is variously
estimated at from Z, ,OOO, 900 to 10000, 600.
The people are mostly very poor. Budd-
hism is the prevailing religion, having
been introduced from China in the year
372. COufucius is also much esteemed and
has many followers. The language is
Tungusic in its affinities, but has been
corrupted by tho Introduction of q multi
tude of Chinese words and by the general
use of Chinese characters. The govern
ment is organized like that of China, the
sway of the king, although ncminally
subject to China, being almost absolute.
The power of the king is held inviOlable
and sacred, from the. union in his OWL
person of both tho religious and secular
sovereignty.
