Persons Interested to Prevent Publicity.
Although many members Of the Legisla-
ture win recognize the importance of Great
ing some agency which, representing the
State government, viii collect and publish
information of the character here indicated;
and although every one, whose eye is single
to the common welfare, admits that such an
agency viii be Of infinite utility, yet il is not
TO be expected that the average politician
will be aggressive in this behalf unless sus-
tanned by public opinion sufficiently strong
to silence the clamorous opposition Of those
personal schemes which thrive on diseased
condition of the body polite.
The writer goes on to illustrate the neces-
sity ola State agency for the publication of
information by quoting from the testimony
of the b. Il o. and other corporate officers
given before the Legislative committee OF
1850. wherein they refuse to answer certain
questions propounded, and deny the right
of the Legislature to control ITS charges
To remedy these evils the writer Of the re-
port suggests judicial proceedings. Il is
urged that these fragrant violations OF law
could not be carried out were the people IN
formed Of the facts through competent
public servant. .
Illustrations May be Multiplied.

and Ohio managers have been scheming to

Again. We are informed that the coal
and lumber industries in this State, depen-
dent on railroad transportation, have not
urospered because, unless there Is q part.
nership between railroad officials and local
| producers, the rates of transportation are
excessive. The freight on soft coal to
Charlestoxn Goo miles, is $500 per ton
| and the price at the mine Is one dollar. II
| It be true that lower rate win not yield re-
munerstiveinterest on the cost of the railroad,
then both the consumer and tho owner OF
the mine are willing to pay this high rate.
But if It be true land We have every reason
to believe that is is true) that the charge
/ for transportation is very exorbitant, then
both consumer and producer are very un-
| willing that the RAILROAD should extort this
extrayagant freight. There shoVld be an

stand alongside and pick all rags and
scraps of paper out of the mass. What
is then left, after the dust has fallen
below, is passed into washer, in which
all straw. leather, vegetable refuse and
other light material rises to the surface

In answer to correspondent. the
New York Caterer publishes the follow
ing recipes, apropos of the opening of
the oyster season:
Baked oysters: Crate some day-ol d
Vienna bread into fine crumbs and sea-
son them with salt, white pepper and a
little grated nutmeg. Drain the oys-
tiers and dry them between the folds of
a cloth. being careful not to press them.
Now dip them into beaten egg and roll
them In the seasoned crumbs until we'll
covered. Then place them in their
lower shells with piece Of butter on
the top of each oyster and bake for q
few minutes in hot oven. Arrange
them, still in their shells, on a plate,
and, before sending to table, squeeze
over them little of the juice of a
lemon.
TO broil oysters in their shells; After
opening the oysters let them remain in
the deep she'll with their juice. placing
a small piece of butter upon the top of
each and seasoning them with little
salt and cayenne pepper. Have a
good. clear fire; place the shells on q
gridiron, squeeze little lemon juice

pipe has had Its day, and is now satu-

must be replaced by another one. or
be passed through the fire to purify it.
as Is done in the coffee-houses of Hol-
land. Every old pipe, Drowned with
long use, leaves on the lips and tongue
an acrid and strong-smelling liquid,
which irritates the tissues and corrodes
the mucous secretions. When it has
reached this condition the finest meer-
schaum is no better than the meanest
