suicides and given by murderers to
cause death. In some of the Southern
provinces there exists particular kind

serve either purpose as occasion may re-
quire. Quicksilver, which is also used
with fatal effect, is, either swallowed,
or, like the aiuice OF cursed habennn'
which sent Hamlet's father to his ac-
count, is poured into the ear. The tor
ture necessarily consequent on this last
method of using il must be so excessive
that it may safely be assumed that it
finds favor only with murderers. Swal-
lowing gold, on the other hand. seems
TO be the favorite way of seeking death
with wealthy suicides. 1t has been held
by some writers that the expression

Dean Connor,s Good Place.

The iamented death of Dean Conner
again vacates a most desirable piece of
preferment. The Deanery of Windsor
is nomnallv worth $4,000 year, but
the Dean usually gets more than this,
as there are various prerequisites and
fees connected with the Garter. of
which order he is Register, and tere-
monies in her Majesty 5 Free Chapel OF
St. Georges involve large payments to
the chapter. The fee for funeral il
E250! The Dean, moreover, is resident
chaplain to the Queen, which means
that when the Court is at Windsor he
has TO walk up to the castle every morn
ing at 9 o'clock to read prayers in the
private chapel, and, besides, he usually
takes part in the Sunday morning serv-
ice in the same sanctuary. He has also
to provide bed and board for dignitaries
and royal chaplains who come to Wind
sor for ceremonies, or to preach on Sun
day-unless, indeed, they are invited to
stay at the castle. The allowance for
these services is, believe, $500 year,
and il the Dean is unable to perform
the duties at any time he has substi-
tute in the Queens Reader, u post usu-
ally held by the Vicar of New Windsor.
The deanery is a most delightful house,
comfortably and well arranged inside,
and with terrace commanding one OF
the finest views in England, while be-
meath, on a level with the slopes, in the
Queens private grounds, the Dean has
a large and prettily-arranged garden,
where DR.. and Mrs. Wellesley used &c
give afternoon parties. The work i.
very light, for the Dean has four Can.
ons leach FL ,000 year, and four mi
nor Canons (each G20O) to assist him in
doing the chapel dirty-perhaps the

obtainable in these days. London

Jellies That VIII Jell.

al have heard of 'jellies that qcou'd

trouble myself, so would like to give my
recipe for the benefit of those who suf-
fer. For currant jelly, squeeze the
freshly-picked fruit; add to II pint of
juice pound of sugar Put juice in
preserving-kettle to boil, and at the
same time put required amount of sugar
in the oven in large dishes, that il may
be thoroughly heated, but not upon any
account let. brown. When juice has
boiled twenty minutes, remove to n
cooler part of stove, and stir in hot sugar
until melted, and then pour into glasses
as quickly as possible, or it will be jelly
and hard to manage. 1t is well to have
the glasses on wet table-cloth, doubled
many times, not allowing the glasses to
touch; then the jelly can be poured in
boiling hot without danger to glasses.
I have tried this recipe for years-al-
ways with success. 1t is so little trouble,
requiring no standing over hot stove.
The Jelly has just the taste of the fresh
currant, is also just the color, and will

THE NORTHWEST.

THE most tcontemptible piece of news
paper dirty work of the present age is
that now being done by the insignifi-
cant administration organ of Washing
ton, in its frantic effort to revive the
bloody shirt in connection with Ma
homes defeat in Virginia. George C..
Gorham who, through his utterances in
this same sheet was more than any other
man responsible for the conditions that
led to the murder of Garfield, is the
author Of the blood-curdling tales from
Mahone's graveyard, and it is said he
also wrote that ridiculous, lying address
sent out over Mahone's signature. Cor
ham has been the Godfather of Malone
in the Republican party. 1t was he
who arranged the bargain by which the
vote of that unsavory individual was
given to the Republicans in the Senate
in consideration of certain patronage,
and it is he who has kept the adminis-
tration to its part of the bargain, hold
ing out to Mr.. Arthur visions of a di-
vided South in the next contest and
solid delegation from Virginia for the
present incumbent. And this frantic
effort to ''fire the Northern heart" is the
last desperate resort of unscrupulous
men who know that unless something
of this kind can be made to work "their
goose is cooked" for all time.

How They Conquer.
New York Cor. Utica Herald.l


1t is often matter of interesting in.
quiry how performer conquers an au.
dience. To this it may be replied that
John Philip Kemble rendered Hamlet
in such solemn majesty that it won ad-
miration. Garrick on the other hand
mastered the sympathies of the public
by the intensity of Lear's misfortunes.
Mrs. Slddons enchanted every one by
stately dignity combined with her pow
er over the emotional nature. Cooke
had so much natural mischief that he
made an inimitable Iago. Kean was
master of the passions and electrified
the audience by displays of this char
acter. Forests greater power was
his fine figure and tremendous voice,
which indeed rendered him often a
mere ranter. Booth, like Kemble, gives
US the dreamy, meditative Hamlet in
all the fullness of dignity awakened to
Indignation. Miss Cushman had a
strong magnetic power, which made
her very ugliness fascinating Coming
down to other performers, ii has been
said that Mary anderson attracts audi
ences by q peculiar ease of glibness Of
voice, while Fannie Davenport's power
is in her fine personal appearance.
Rose Eytinge works upon the sympa-
thies. Maggie Mitchell's forte is syouth.
full vivacity, while 1t is said of Clara
Morris that she has tears in her voice.
Hence she finds no difficulty in max
ing the audience weep. Kate Claxton,
on the other hand, is always burned
out, or else in some other danger Of
the fire king, and this, of course, rem
ders her an object of curiosity. The
dramatic stars thus differ in glory to
a degree that often surprises.
