A CODFfSH'S BILL OF FARE.

A fruitful source of specimens were
the carcasses of fish. Many scores Of
curious creatures could sometimes be
collected from the stomach of Goldfish.
Indeed, the cod may well be dubbed the
Alderman of the deep, SO voracious is his
appetite and so omnivorous his taste. A
list Of the luxuries which have travelled
down the lane which leads to his capa-
cious NAV may remind one Of the menu
of fish dinner at Greenwich. The cat
alogue comprises huge number OF little
crabs and Holsters, served whole in their
shells by way of tickling the palate.
Then come, if not tishy omelct, at
least some eggs of fish, those of the dog
fish being eaten in their transparent pot
OF capsule, to give them q nice crispness,
like the cracking of roast pig. Next
may be counted some sea cucumbers,
served in lieu Of salad, with quart
Or SO of shrimps. Then dainty dish Of
zoophytes, followed by few sea-urchins,
which seem to give smack of cannibal-
ism by way of further relish. For game
there appears the skeleton of part
ridge, plainly gulped down in its feath-
ers while cluster of ripe beechnuts
serve for the dessert. Finally, there
figures in the list of luxuries little bit
of pewter, with the fragment of some
cloth, as if the glutton in his haste had
swallowed his spoon and napkin while
waiting for his soup.

win Not so Through Natchesp

The Democrat says It seems that
the committee who went to New
York to secureIthe passage Of the
Mississippi Valley Road through
Natchez had failed in their mission
1t says that it regrets shat their
mission has not had more success
full termination. The passage of a
through road twenty miles east Of
Natchez will necessitate extra exer-
ton on the part of its people to Sc
cure trade that will replace that
which may be cut off from this city
by the Wilson road. That they
are capable of this exertion there
can be but little doubt. The bust
ness of Natchez is based upon its
own capital, and its merchants and
business men are not dependent up.
no the assistance of the capital Of
other cities. The credit of the city
and county is such that they would
have no difficulty in negotiating fol
any amount of money that would en-
able them to construct any paying
road, and the traffic in freight is
good enough to induce othe,
through roads to give it probably
more consideration than Mr.. Wilson
has accorded to it. ..

State Lunatic Asylum at Merida

State Lunatic Asylum at Meridian.
There has been so much talk in
the newspapers of late about the
Lunatic Asylum building to be
erected at Meridian, with the adj.
verse criticisms of the management
of the commissioners, that we have
felt it our duty, as an honest jour-
nalist. to learn the facts and give
the public the advantage of them.
We could thinksof no better way OF
doing it than toaseek, Information
of the commissioners themselves.
We called on Hon. H. NJ. Street,
resident commissioner, and at our
request he furnished us the follow
ing statement:
The commissioners are endeavor-
ing to carry out the wishes of the
legislature as they understand it.
We have adopted a plan for an asy-
lum with capacity for two hundred
and fifty patients, and have con-
tracted to have it fit for occupancy
with the money at our disposal.
The contractor has been paid so far
IS, 1876. He has been directed to
lay 10 more brick until all danger
Of freezing has passed. We are de-
termined to have building that
will be credit to the State. The
threat of a legislative investigating
committee will not move US from
our purpose. We not only expect
it, but we will demand it. The
commissioners have an interest in
common with other tax payers of
the State. If errors are committed,
we alone will be held responsible,
and having to bear the responsible
ty we will do what we think right.
There is not mem Der of the COM
mission that would not gladly be
relieved of this responsibility, or
that would not place bis resignation
in the hands of the Governor upon
the slightest intimation that it was
wanted. They accepted the APP
pointment as a public duty, and I'M
til relieved will discharge that duty
with fidelity. We will be able to
show more work for the money ex-
pended than can be shown on any
asylum in the Uuited States.
What about the delay?
No asylum has ever been con-.
structed in one year. We could
have had building of some kind
last year but not a suitable
one. There are modern improve.
nents calculated to add to the
health and comfort of the patients.
Il required time to learn ali these
letails. Dr.. Moore, member OF
he commission. was requested to
iisit and inspect several asylums in
he North and the one at Tnscaloo
ia. The information obtained was
,ery valuable. We could not have
lctcd intelligentiy without it. We
lave endeavored to make no mis-
axes, and rely confidently on the
outcome Of our work for complete
indication. Meridian Mercury.

1f0Iy THE H1YRGxAHss BURGLE.


HOW THE BuFGLAIsy BURGLE.
The modern housebreaker ii, how
ever, . far different person, and plays
for q far higher stake. Hehas probably
boon in prison, ana learned the tricks Of
the trade in tho hours 81 combined labor
while undergoing penal seryitude at
Dartmoor or Portland It is here that
he receives the first smattering Of his
scientific education. He may have been
o clerk. or u discharged foetman, or a
small shopman, or an errand-lad-some
one who has embezzlol or purloined--
and the discipline Of his prison career
has resulted In nothing mere than pre-
pairing him for the exciting trade of :,
professional thief. Society, he argues,
has injured him by depriving him of his
liberty, and heintends 70 be revenged
upon society. He becomes compsn-
ion Of old thieves, and he is elected a
brother In the freemasonry OF CRIME.
he is told where property can be found,
how it can be stolen, and where it can
be disposed Of Stories Of robberies,
and burglaries, and midnight advent
ures, sound as fascinating as the yarns
of miners at the diggings. Chance may
decree long course of ceaseless work
and no reward ; but Fhen the "turn-up
does come the prize is worth the win
ming. Thus edueaaod theoretically III
thieves knowledge. the felonious nco
phyte comes out Of prison to be oon-
Meeting link betweea the "lagged ard
"lucky." He knows what policemen
can be bribed, whe information is nee
essary for his undertaking what public
houses and other haunts are frequented
by thieves, and what should be the gen
eral plan of the cammign on which he
has entered. He does not so rashly to
work, but bides his time, setting his
traps and snares with the care of an old
sportsman. Unconstiously, domestic
servants, male and female, drift into this
world of roguery, and, before they are
aware of it, are led to betray the conf
dence of their employers. They are
plausible fellows, these modern burglars;
they can tell o good story and sing a
good song they can firt with the silly
maids, and will "walk out with them !"
on Sundays they bet little and play
cards; and gradually they inmesh o
household by the agency of the indoor
servants, who have not the faintest idea
Of the real objects of the crafty fellows
who have made themselves SO agreeable.
People express themselves surprised at
the constant success Of the confidence
trick, and all the devices in which good
acting and plausibility are opposed to
selfishness and vanity; and yet they
cannot realize the fact that agents of the
intelligence department !" of knavery
are constantly on the alert.-London

POOR arFx,s KfYEs.

The trouble Is, mono Of our young
women are willing to become poor mems
wives, professedly, even though they
may be 20 in reality. The girl who
marries upon 1000 a year looks forward
to q life spent in second-rate boarding
houses, from which she will squeeze
out o certain cheap domesticity and
some expensive pleasures. The children
which Heaven may send are not thought
Of nor provided for. It is o question
whether the young wife can make her
self dress, or prepare herself whole
some meal Of victuals. She marries
for freedom, 10 have good time, to
spend money which she neither earns,
nor helps to earn-for Heaven knows
what-but certainly not to make COM
Portable, if humble, home for her hus-
band. In this respect we consider the
British girl has an immense advantage
over the American. From the highest
to the lowest circles Of society in Brit
ain, girls are trained to make good and
useful wives, inasmuch as ladies preside
over the departments Of their household
and see that everything is kept clean,
and the food is well cooked; SO also in
the lower classes mothers teach their
daughters to do the same for themselves,
without suffering any loss Of dignity in
the doing of it. Many of our
American girls will be surprised
to learn that the Princess Louise
frequently makes her pastry-and
makes it well, too. On one occasion,
some apricot tarts OF her making being
praised by guest, the royal lady wrote
out the recipe, with the words under
lined, eff you desire to have an apricot
tort properly cooked, always make it
with an upper crust!' The story has
point, and the point is that one can
never know how to do thing too well.
One Of the great hindrances against get
ting a good wife arises from the false
basis upon which society is constructed.
The idea that equality is the peculiar
birthright Of all Americans is erroneous.
Where. every person thinks he or she is
as good as the next, there is always the
opposite proof of incompetency. A
person is neither better nor worse than
another except in the degree of worth
which is honestly sought to be attained.
But the dispositions Of young women
of the present day (and the same may
be said largely OF young men, though
perhaps not to the same extent) Is to
think they are as good as any one else,
without taking the trouble to be so.
From this erroneous belief arises many
of the evils from which society suffers.
