FROGS AS A TABLE DELICACY.
A New Down-E.ast Trade.
Boston Post.

Boston Post.
Within the past few years the demand for
frogs as an article for food ha. steadily In
creased and many people to-day rate frogs
very highly as table delicacy. Many Of
these persons q few years ago would have
hesitated for some time before accepting the
delicious batrachians In their bill of fare.
Within the past winter this demand has been
with difficulty met, and from all appearances
the coming season will be very prosperous
and profitable one for the frog dealers. The
catching season has already opened, and Mr..
]. M. Beck, the largest dealer in the State
and probably In the country, has engaged
nearly one hundred men In the several New
England States to catch for him the coming
season, and he estimates that the demand
this summer will be double that of last year.
Many hotels that formerly had frogs only
during the summer are now making contracts
for them the year round.
An attempt was made last summer TO send
live frogs to England and the fn. attempt
was watched with considerable interest, as it
was doubtful II the attempt would result
successfully. The frogs were properly Sc
lected and special attention was given to
their care and feeding during the long sea
voyage. The frst lot Of animals sent arriv-
ed in England In the best of condition, hav-
Ing stood the voyage remarkably well, and
the mortality was very slight. During the
summer several attempts were made and the
results Of all we're perfectly successful.
These lots were designed for hospitals and
were sent on special orders for surgical ex-
periments. Some were dressed and eaten
and q demand In ANAL way was immedi-
ately started. Tho green frog, or, as he Is
generally known, the bull frog, Is hot ma
tive of England, and II Is now desired 10

numbers, sn that they can be used for food

next month to send 70 England the spawn
OF The bull frog to stock pond and rear the

FRESH FROM THE DESERT.
A DOZEN SIHEWY BEDoyIN ARABS
ARRIVE IN NEW YORK.
They Create Great Sensation In the Ne:
tropolis

The steamer Celtic, of the White Sta
Line, arrived April 9th from Liverpool
bringing among other passengers a large
company Of native Bedouin Arabs, who rep
resent several we'll known tribes, and possess
unusual intelligence. Immediately upon
their leaving the steamer, they were sur
rounded by crowds of sight-seers, and the
psculiarity Of their costumes created quite q
seasaticn. So great was the curiosity to get
| even glimpse OF the Orientals as they
passed from the pier to their carriages, the
streets were literally blocksded. The party,
| consisting of twelve neil and women, at
once drove to the Westminster hotel where
they were assigned rooms previously secured
by their manager. Upon inquiry 1t was
learned that the entire band were under en-
gagement 10 w. w. Cole, the famous S..
Louis Snowman, and that they had been IN.
duced tn leave their native land by one Of
Coles agents, who accompanied them on
their journey from Constantlnople. They
were clad in Syrian costume, the males
wearing red turbooshes on their heads, and
trousers, which reached only to their knees,
of dark blue silk. The legs below the knees
were bare, but the feet were encased in
bright red morocco shoes with pointed toes.
The men are unusually muscular in appear
ance, and seem well adapted for the athletic
and war-like performances for which they
are noted. The chief, who Is accompanied
by his wife, is an ancient looking Sheik, yet
full of vigor and agile as tiger. His heavy
beard falls In wavy masses upon his breast,
and altogether be presents most imposing
presence. 1t appeers that this remarkable
band were giving performances through the
southern part Of Russia, whittier they had
journeyed from Jerusalem and the Holy
Land. Mr.. Ernest Cooke, the renowned
French clown, who is also engaged with
Coles circus, heard of their versatile and as.
abilities and following them from
point to point until he finally persuaded
them to accompany him to America. They
will remain In New York for few days, and
then depart for st. Louis. They appear
somewhat dazed by the multiplicity of Cau-
casians, who gather around them at every
turn, yet they take unmistakable pleasure In |
with those who are able to speak |
their native tongue. Quite a number Of
fashion able ladies called upon the Orientals
during the day, and were courteously re-
ceived by the females of the party. 1t is un-
ierstood that these swsrthy sons of the des-
srt are capable of presenting the most re-
performance ever witnessed in this |
their feats consisting of athletic |
pyramids, tremendous leaps ever bayonet |
points, juggling, mimic warfare as practiced
BY the wild Bedouins, and various other
ports dissimilar to any thing heretofore
een. An extraordinary salary for two years
ervices has been already guaranteed them,

General Early Gives His Reasons to Justify
His Action.
The following letter from General Jubal
Early, now published for the first time, Is
the fallest explanation and attempted iusti.
fication he has ever made of his conduct in
burning the town Of Chambersburg, PENN,
during the war. The letter Is an interesting
contribution to the history of the late rebel
lion:
LYScHDuRS, Va, June Q, 1882.
DEAR SIR: In reply to your inquiries, 1
have to inform you that the town of Cham
bersburg was burned on the same day on
which the demand on IL was made by Nc.
Causland and refused. 1t was ascertained
that force Of the enemy's cavalry was ap-
proaching, and there was no time for delay.
Moreover, the refusal was peremptory, and
there was no reason for delay, unless the de-
mand was mere idle. threat. As to the
other inquiry, had no knowledge of what
amount Of money there might be in Cham
besburg. knew that 1t was . town of some
$4,000 inhabitants. The town of Frederick,
Nd, which was much smaller town than
Chambersburg, had in June very promptly
responded to my demand on it for 100000
some Of the inhabitants who we're friendly to
US expressing regret that had not put my
demand at $4,000 There was one or more
natior,.,l banks at Chambersbusg, and the
town ought to have been able to raise the
sum demanded. / never heard that the
refusal wasbased on the inability to pay such
sum, and there was no offer to pay any
sum. The value Of the houses destroyed BY
Hunter, with their contents, was fully $780,
600 in gold, and at the time made the de-
mand the price Of gold in greenbacks had
very nearly reached 50, and was going up
rapidly. Hence 1t was that I required the
s50o, 900 In greenbacks IL the gold was not
paid. to provide against any further depreci-
alton Of the paper money. l would have

POETRY.
THEN AND NOW.

EFFIE NJ. LANE.
A granddame, grooming melody low,
| A quaint, wIerd song of the long ago,
To sleepy child on a summers day,
When the air was perfumed with new-mown
hay.
A time-worn face, with snow white hair,
A face grief-lined and furrowed with care,
A form that is bent with the burden of years,
And eyes that are humid with unsh-d tears.
The voice that is singing is trembling and
low,
And the words of the song fall sadly and
slow -.
From her shriveled lips and her withered
hands
Have almost numbered the hour-glass sands
She rocks the cradle and sings her song
Till the twilight shadows are lensthening
long,
And far-away look creeps into her eyes
As the sunsets glory fades in the skies.
A woman stands by a moss-grown mound,
Where the myrtle and dasies have covered
the ground.
And thinks of the days in the long ago
AS she croons a melody quaint and low.
Again the heat of summers day,
Again the perfume of new-mown hay;
But low in the grave the grandamr is sleep
ing,
And the woman that sings is sadly weeping.

THE MOTTO INAwEDDING RING.

A lover gave the golden ring
Into the goldsmith's hand.
"Give me-" he said. "a tender thought
Within this golden band"
The goldsmith graved,
With careful art,
"TiH Death us part"
The wedding bells rang gladly out,
The husband said, "Oh, wife,
Together we will share the grief,
The happiness of life.
give to thee
Ny hand, my heart,
Till Death us part"
Twas she that lifted now his hand
70 love that this should BEL
Then on it placed the golden band,
And whispered, tenderly:
"Tili death US join,
Lo, thou art mine
And / am thine!
"AEd when death joins we never more
Shall know an aching heart;
The bridal of that better love
Death has no power to part.
That troth will be
For thee and me
Eternity"
So up the hill aid down the hill
Through fifty changing years
They shared each others happiness,
They dried each Others tears.
Alas! alasi
That Deaths cold dart
Such love can part!
But one sad day she stood alone
Beside his narrow bed;
She drew the ring from off her hand,
And to the goldsmith said:
"Oh, man, who graved
With careful art,
It'll Death us part,
"Now grave four other words for me:
'TW Death us jo,n'" He took
The precious golden band once more,
With solemn, wistful look,
And wrought with care,
For love, not coin,
"TW Death us join"

is not only faster, but is cheaper than hand
labor. Tobacco is also grown, only twenty
acres this year; the yield, owing to the high
farming, has been invariably large hitherto.
But we must come to close, not be-
cause there is not much more to tell, but
because we have no room left in which to
tell it. We can only add few additional
remarks. We may say that Col. Young,
with his son as assistant, exercises personal
supervision of all his farms. There are no
renters or croppers. All is his and all re-
ceives his careful attention. He keeps the
run of his hands and the work, and knows
exactly what is being done on each farm
from day to day. Daily visits are made to
every part of the estate. He does not run
to yachts like Gould or railroad stocks like
Vanderbilt, but finds his highest pleasure
in being the first farmer in the land. No
wonder that the Duke of Switzerland, after
going over the place, said he had no idea
there was such tract of land between the
Atlantic and the Pacific. Not only is there
not another such farm or series of farms
in Pennsylvania, but it has not its equal on
the Western Hemisphere. We make the
assertion fully aware of its widest meaning.
We think we have seen some single farms
in Lancaster county where the land was
as well cultivated, the fences as good, the
fields as clean of weeds, the ground around
the buildings as neat and free of rubbish,
the buildings as well kept and the general
order and thrift as good, but we know there
is not another tract of land over 1,4O0
acres in extent, under one ownership, that
will compare with Col Young's in North
America.

('Cruel father, you are the cause of my

hanged in chains at Leith Walk in Novem-

In the case of Shaw strong efforts were
made to set matters right The hanging
of an entirely innocent man became the
talk of the excited town. The magistracy
of Edinburgh, after close and cautious
scrutiny of Catharine Shaw's posthumous
letter, perfectly satisfied of its authenticity

straightway directed that the bleached
bones of the executed Shaw should be cut
down from the gallows, where the chains
still held them, and given to his friends
and family for decent sepulture, while a
pair of the town colors were to be waved
above the grave in token of restitution.
But it was never known that the perfor-
nance ofthoserepentantce of ceremonies brought
back the breath to the body of the poor
wretch hanged by mistake.
