An Old English Highway.

Captain Mayne Reid in his new serial,
The Land of Fire" begun in the
Christmas st. Nicholas, gives the fol-
lowing characteristic description of an
old English coach-road.
One of the most interesting of Enp-
lish highways is the old coach road from
London to Portsmouth. Its interest
is due to the charming scenery through
which 1t runs, but as much TO mem0r-
les OF a by-gone time. One travelling

Ned BuntIIne's" Home.


The wildwood home of Colonel +. Il
Z. Judson, better known as Ned
Buntline,' in the Adirondacks. is one
of the attractions of that famous re-
glon. The house, if it may be digni-
he'd by that name, is constructed of
logs In the most primitive style, and
contains but two rooms. 1t stands
near Eagle Lake, at the foot of Blue
Mountain. AS far back as 1886, "Ned
Buntline" invaded the wilderness and
built his little log cabin in the heart
OF the woods. AT that time he was a
slave to ntemperance, and recognized
the fact that his safety lay in flight
from the busy haunts of men. He
succeeded in clearing a little farm.
and when the cabin attained the ap-
pearance of a home he presented il
with mistress in the form of young
and handsome wife. The furniture
was OF the simplest description, and
the pair were dependent upon their
labor for the necessaries of life. but
Notwithstanding these drawbacks
they lived happily, and "Ned Bunt-
line produced volume after volume of
thrilling backwood stories.
The war of the rebellion called the
author from his wildwood haunt. and
he did not return until long and aIdu-
Gus service had elevated him to the
rank of colonel. In the meantime his
wife and only child died, and they
were laid to rest near the cabin. Four
cedar trees mark their lonely
graves. ''Ned Buntline" is now lee.

New Basis or Representation in the Ma
tionaI Republican Convention.


A Washington dispatch says: To
remedy in some measure what is re-
garded by many as very grave in
justice in the present representation of
the republican national convention,
which gives states and districts all over
the country the same voice, in proper
ton to population, regardless of the re-
publican vote cast, when in some dis
tricts south even the form of nominal
ing republican candidates for congress
is not pursued, Senator Frye, member
of the republican national committee,
will propose at the next meeting of the
committee Oec. 12) new basis of
represent alton, rs follows: Each state
to be entitled to four delegates at large,
as now, and each district to one, in
stead of two as now; to one additional
delegate for each ten thousand votes
cast within its limits in 1880 for the re-
publican candidates for presidential
electors, and to one additional delegate
for majority fraction of ten thousand
votes. The vote for presidential cleo
tors is taken as best indicating the real
strength of the party in any district
being less liable to be affected by local
causes. The effect of this proposition,
if adopted, is shown by the annexed
table, compiled by application of the
presidential vote to the districts as then
existing. The application of the same
rule to the present districts, under the
late apportionment, could not just now
oe readily made out, owing to the lack
OF necessary and accurate information,

relative strength of the several states,

Household Hints.

1t is said by one who is ordinarily
truthful that if you place little piece
of red pepper in the pot where cabbage
or turnip is boiling, it will help to de-
stroy the Objectionable odor with which
these vegetables are likely to fill the
house.
Tomatoes chopped with an equal
quantity Of celery and mixed with nice
salad dressing is an agreeable and easily
prepared dish.
A very simple way to make grape
pickles is to fill a jar with alternate lay
ers of sugar and of freshly gathered
grapes; cover with cold vinegar.
Appetizing dressing for fowls is made
Of mashed potato, well seasoned; for
ducks or for wild game flavor of onion
is desirable; herbs also may be added.
1t is not generally known that
draughts of cold air are as unwholesome
for a canary bird as for a child. Many
pet bird has dropped and died a mys-
terious and lamented death for the lack
of little thought on the part of its mis-
tress. Many birds suffer also from heat;
their cages are hung so high that while
the room does not seem too warm for the
mistress it is very uncomfortable for the
bird. I have known of cages being
hung so near a stove that the wires be-
came so heated as to be unpleasant to
the touch. If one has not the time to
be Thoughtful and careful of pets, it is
more humane to dispose of them to
some one who can.
A little care and expense at this time
of year in cleaning the cellar may pre-
vent sickness later in the season. Re
move everything from the cellar, and if
it is possible to do so, have the walls
whitewashed. This will sweeten the
air, and if some copperas is added to the
whitewash it will prove a disinfectant of
value. Add enough of the copperas to
color the whitewash slightly.

evidently well educated. She declined
to give any account of herself, but il
was learned few months afterward that
she was the daughter of well-to-do pa
rents in a Massachusetts, village, and
was a graduate of a school in Boston.
It was rumored that she had run away
from home, married a man to whom heI
parents objected, and been deserted by
him. This rumor she neither denied no1
admitted to be true.
An intimacy grew up between Miss
Perry and Lucy Ann Lobdell. They
became strongly attached to one another,
although their habits, character, and
antecedents were so widely different.
Learning that the almshouse authorities
had informed her parents Of her where
abouts, the girl resolved to leave the in
stitution, and Lucy Ann Lobdell ac-
companied her. They were not heard
of again in Delaware county until they
wgrB discovered IN IN the the Sit Shrewsbury jail
masquerading as man and wife, and
were returned to the Delhi poorhouse
They remained there but a short time,
and then left the place again, and re-
sumed their roaming life in the woods,
insisting on every occasion that they
were man and wife.
A marriage ceremony between them
had been performed in 1869 by Wayne
county Justice of the Peace, he being
ignorant of the fact that the parties
were both women. In 1876 they ap-
peared in Honesdale, Wayne county.
The husband, it was then seen, was
violently insane, but the "wife' clung to
him with an affection that was remark
able. For the good of both, the luna
tic was placed in Jail. The grief Of the
other at the separation was pitiful, and
she begged to be allowed to share her
husbands" cell.
There is now on the court records of
Wayne county a document which was
uldWu ny bllG u1lOL lu44ulC GDAu lJtAAAoA4
of Lucy Ann Lobdell at this time.
1t was a petition for the release of her
husband, Joseph I. Lobdell," from
Jail, on account of his failing health. It
was written with a split stick for pen,
with ink made from the juice of poke
berries. 1t reviewed the case Of the
"Female Hunter" from a psychological
standpoint. The language used was
clear, correct and logical, showing that
the writer, though a voluntary Outcast,
was a person of superior education.
Joseph I. Lobdell'' was finally re-
leased from Jail, and the couple then
took up their residence on a small farm
in Damascus township, Wayne county,
where they lived peaceably until 1880,
when the husband" wandered away,
and finally became an inmate Of the
Delhi poorhouse again. She is now in
the Willard Asylum for the Insane.
The "wife" still lives on the Damascus
farm, and insists that her name is Mrs.
Joseph I. Lobdell.
