Another dish, common in Shakespeare
day which added at least to the show OF
the feast. was the stately pye,'' that is.
peacock or pheasant pie. In the days
of chivalry the knights took their vows
at common feast, on presentation of a
roasted peacock in a golden dish. This
custom was kept up at Christmas by the
bringing in, on the most magnificent dish
the house could afford, of peacock in a
pie. preserving as much as possible the
form of the bird, with the head elevated
above the crust, the beak richly gilt. and
the beautiful tail spread out to its full ex-
tent. 1t was from this superb dish that
the oath came, ''By cock and pye, sir"
At the supper two servants attended bear
ing fair torches of wax next before the
musicians and the trumpeters, and they
stood above the fire (the fire of seal-coal be-
ing originally in the middle of the rooml
with the musicians till the first course was
served. when they retired, with the music. to
the buttery. After supper, as well as before,
there were revels and dancing during the
twelve days of Christmas, and games in
which all classes joined. One of the
favorite games was known as snapdragon.
Brandy was set on fire and raisins thrown
into it. The diversion consisted of ad-
ventures to plack out the rasins. The
Master of the Revels sang a song or carol,
in which the gentlemen took part at his
command.
The requisites for good Christmas fare
were plenty of good drink. blazing fire

When the company tired of games and
romping sports. it gathered about the
ruddy fire. and had tales of legendary lore,
adventures of knights and ladies and
friars. of strange apparitions and ghosts,
OF coaches on the lonely moors drawn by
a team of headless horses driven by a
headless coachman, with graveyard pas
sengers, of wonderful portents in nature,
stories OF true love wrapped in mystery
and ending in grief. and all sorts of ghost

the dancing shadows which the light OF
the Yule log cast upen the dusky timbers

JurIes and Jurymen.

II Is u current notion that the
reason why so few first-elass business
men are found upon our juries is
that they are excused by the
courts. Tho returns show that such
men rarely get upon the jury lists.
In the exceptional cases where such
men are returned TO serve, IL Is no
doubt one OF the most important du-
ties of Judge TO brace himself up
against yielding to any but the best
OF excuses. Boards OF trade would
do well not only to inculcate IL as u
point OF honor that none OF their
members should seek tO shlrk this

In 1885 there was cholera cpidem-

cisterns in the town, but the expert
ence of that year caused cisterns to be
built Since that time the six cases

But who was the murderer
This evidence clevGA as Ut was as to
the prisoners innocence, did not
reveal the guilty one. An officer
was sent in the interest of Justice To
bring the daughter OF the States
Attorney 10 cOrroborate the truth oi
the witness who had just testified.
She came, and when asked where
she was on the night OF the
murder, burst Into tears, for she
saw plainly by the looks Of all anil
her father sobbing that all WIS now
known.
Nerving herself for the ordeal
she said that on the night of the
murder the prisoner had been with
her all that evening, and that the
cause Of his quarrel with the mur-
dered man was owing to the fact
that Mann, too, was suiter for her
hand. That another, the son of
the Judge on the bench, had also
been suitor, but she had rejected
him just previous to the murder,
and he had sworn revenge. lie no
doubt was. the guilty one, and as
she had been Harmon's lover, as
they were engaged to be married,
he had no doubt Witnessed their in-
timacy and killed Mann in such
way as to throw the blame on Har-
mon.
Her reason for not coming for
ward was because Harmon told her
she must not, and that If she did
he said he would say he had killed
Mann.
The Judges son was arrested and
at once admitted his guilt. He
was identified by Mary Tyson AS
the man who had seized her, and
then the prisoner was discharged.
The severe strain caused the death
of the States Attorney soon after,
and the Judges son was sentenced

the history Of Wall street. So far as
appears at the present writing, that
month witnessed the eliminating

during which time had occurred the
slow recovery from the crash of 1878,
the rise and development of the most
gigantic speculation in railroads that
any country had ever seen, and final

years from July, 1881, and ending in

to the filth of the trial of Hill VS..
Sharon. Let it now be observed what
society will do with Sharon. Here is
a man of wealth, and lately of COM
'uanding position, who contesses,
under oath, that he took upon his
arm q woman he swears was his kept
mistress, and introduced her into So
ciety as a pure woman. He took her
to his daughters wedding; he placed
her upon an equality with his guests;
he smirched the daughter of his loins
by bringing her into contact with a
person he declares was q prostitute
for pagan infamous woman. He
admits under oath that he gave this
same woman the shield of his name
in social gatherings, at public assem-
aud in popular hostelries. H.

WAR TALK.

At the Blaine and Logan ratifica-
ton meeting in this city Judge G. 8.
Warren congratulated the people
upon the fact that they now had a
candidate for president in the event
OF whose election an American citi>
zen could 60 abroad without feeling
like a yellow dog with a tin can tied
to his tail; that Uncle Sam could put
a chip upon his shoulder and chal-
Ienge any power to knock it off, and
that Bismarck would have to eat
American pork, etc. The meaning
of all of which is that if Mr.. Blaine
be elected our foreign policy will be
an aggressive or defiant one, rather
than conciliatory; that foreign ma
tons must mind their FPS" and
"q's" in their dealings with the
United States or the scream of the
American eagle will be heard in their
land, and that the olive branch of
peace held out to every foreign power
will be supplanted by g~littering bay
Onets.
All that kind of talk takes well with
a certain class of people. The adven-
turous, the hot>headed, and those who
can scent a repetition of the days of
'61 to '65. with all their fat contracts
and swindlings of the Government,
and money making will iterate and
reiterate it upon the stump and in
the forum. But there is another and
a much larger class who views the
possibility of war with a foreign ma
ton with different feelings. We
mean the taxpayers of the country
men who would be compelled to sup
ply the sinews Of war, if war be
forced upon us, and whose interests
dwell in the line of peace. These
men will not support Mr.. Blaine for
the reasons advanced by Judge War
rem On the contrary, they will OPP
pose him on the ground that the bus
mess interests of the country are in
condition to be disturbed by q
radical change in our foreign policy.

Two newspapers in Cuba have been
suspended for twenty days each, and
the costs of prosecution taxed up to
the publishers, for having simply re-
produced from the New York World
a dispatch from Washington relative
to the rumored negotiations for the
sale of Cuba to the United States. A
Cuban newspaper is probably more
attractive and more profitable when
in . state of suspension than at any
other time, but it strikes US that when
journals are not permitted to COPY
