The Bologna Sausage.

A correspondent of the San Francis.
co Chronicle who has been investigat-
ing the sausage, writes as follows from
Bologna: Il had noticed that there
were few pastures on the plains of
Lombardy, and taught me that with
few pastures there could be but little
beef. AS for sheep and pigs, had
seen even fewer than of cattle. The
questions of all questions to be deter
mined was: Where did the sausages
come from had seen figs pressed
into boxes and grapes crushed in wine
vats by the dirty feet of the peasants l
had seen wine packed into pig skins
and rats skinned for gloves, and l was
prepared for anything, but must ask
my readers to permit me to leave Bolo
gna without saying another word about
its sausages. The details, as the story
book says, are too horrible for mention.
can only advise them to eschew the
tempting dish, and if they must have
sausages, to make them at home. The
Percy anecdotes relate the story OF a
barber who used to cut his customers
throats and drop their bodies into pit,
whence they were conveyed next door
to the baker, who had become so fam
Gus for his mutton pies. This is a
delicate story compared to some that
heard in Bologna. Let the evil of an
impenetrable mystery continue to hang
over the ever dubious Bologna sausage

A Remarkable Bridge.

Distant about an hours ride by rail
from Avignon is the Pont du Gard (or
"Bridge of the Gard,") great bridge,
or aqueduct, built here by the Romans
at time when this part of France
was occupied by the soldiers and col
onies of that people and next to the
Colosseum at Rome, it is considered
the grandest and most perfect piece of
Roman architecture now standing in
the world.
1t is an immense stone bridge,
stretching across the whole valley, 1t
consists of three rows of arches, one
above the other In the lower row
there are six very large arches above
this is longer row of eleven smaller
arches; and over this, thirty-fve arches
still smaller. On the top of the upper
and forming the summit of the bridge,
is covered acqueduct, or waterway.
At little distance this vast bridge
seems almost as entire and perfect as
when first built, and we can hardly rea
lize the fact that it has stood there for
| nineteen centuries. 1t was erected sole
ly for the purpose of carrying water
across the valley, and was part of al
aqueduct, twenty five miles long, con
structed by the Romans to conduct tn,
water of the springs of Airan to thsil
town of Nemausus, now the Frencl
town of Mines,
Great stones project at regular inter
walls from It's sides, to the top of thu
second row of arches. These served
as supports to the derricks and othe
machines by which the massive stone
were raised us the building progressed

The Model Doctor.

The Archbishop of Canterbury dis

the Medical College at St. Thomas

is somewhat of high one "a good

A Peculiar Hebrew Tribe.

Between Damascus and Jerusalem is
a tribe of about three thousand He
brews, which has been there probably
since the beginning Of the Christian
era. They have neither city nor town;
they live in camps, The temple is
represented by more spacious tent.
They have never admitted among them
person of different race or religion.
Their ordinary language is Hebrew
In their relations with others they
speak Arabian. These relations, how
ever, are very few, for they have re-
mained, like the primitive races, exclu-
sively tillers of the soil and warriors.
They cultivate the ground, armed from
head to foot, always ready to defend
their portion of earth, from which,
with great difficulty, they derive a
meagre sustenance, They live on lit
tie and are content to thus live in this
sort of native country which they have
occupied for centuries.

Vegetables Which Have Been Grown and
Eaten for Centuries.

Most of the species of vegetable we
now cultivate have been grown and
eaten for centuries. Even before the
Christian era many of them We're in
use. Lettuce has been used at the Ia
BILE for thousands of years. Herodo-
tus tells US that it was served at the
royal tables centuries before the Chris
tian era, and one of the noble families
of Rome derived its name from this
plant. Spinach, asparagus and celery
have been cultivated and eaten among
the Eastern nations for thousands of
years. Jesus took the mustard seed as
the exponent of a parable, showing
that it was esteemed among the Jews.
Radi.hes were known and grown by
the Greeks, and were offered at Apol-
los shrine, wrought in precious metals.
Parsnips were grown and brought
from the Rhine to add to the luxuries
of Tiberius' table. Beets were most
esteemed centuries ago, and carrots
were in such repute in Queen Eliza
beth's reign that the ladies of her
court adorned their huge structures of
false hair with their feathering plumes.
Peas at Elizabeth's court were very
rare, and were imported from Holland
as great delicacy. Fruits were also
in great repute among the ancients.
The currant was cultivated centuries
ago in European gardens, and was
called the Corinthian grape. One old
writer speaks of his berries as Corinths,
hence the name of currants. The dam.
son plum was extensively cultivated at
Damascus, whence its name. The
Crosus, city of Pontus, and the de,
licious peach, king of fruits, was first
known in Persia. The ounce was g
holy fruit, dedicated to the goddess Of
love, and was called cyndonian apple
Pears are as ancient as apples, and are
mentioned among the Paradisal fruits
Grapes were known at very remote
period and are often mentioned in tn,
Bible,-.San Francisco Chronicle.

A DEMOCRATIC OPINION.

The Cincinnati Enquirer, one of the
most Influential Democratic papers in
the country, rises in the following ar
ticie above the bigotry Of partisanship,
aud thus formulates its conclusions
touching the nomination of James &.
Blaine:
the national Republican convention
selected Hon. James G.. Blaine, of
Maine, as the candidate of the party
for the presidency of the United States.
In nominating him the convention has
acted in accordance with the wishes of
nine-tenths ofthe Republican voters of
the country The nomination was there
fore a popular one to make. BY this
nomination the Pharisees and hypo-
critics of the party are routed and COW
cred with confusion. They made
bitter and unrelenting fight against
him, but their black flag had to come
down. The idol of the Republican
masses has achieved most decisive
victory. The politicians, tricksters, ma
nipulators and professional schemers
Tor power and place have been over
thrown, and The man of the people
chosen.
