A Messenger Boys Long Trip.

A bright-faced, red-headed boy, four
teen years old, dressed in the uniform OF
a messenger lad, called at a pawn store
Saturday and threw a pawn ticket for a
gold chain ON the show case and said:
"Gimme that chain.
Mr.. Lewyt hooked at the ticket, which
he at once recognized. The man to
whom this ticket belongs is in New
York he remarked to the boy.
well that's just where l,came from. )"
The little fellow then said that on Satur-
day afternoon call came to the Seventy
second street Office, East side, New
York City, for a messenger boy. This
lad was sent to a well-to-do gentleman 3
house in answer to the summons. The
caller had pawned valuable chain.
an heirloom, during his visit to Balti-
more few days ago, when he was out
of money. He wanted to wear the chain
on Sunday, but could not get it in time,
as no express would reach him on that
day. The boy was TO bring the pawn
ticket here, pay the twenty-five dollars
advanced on the chain, also.the interest,
and get back IS soon as he could. The
gentleman was to pay his fare here and
back, incidental expenses, and give him
besides six cents an hour extra pay.
The boy was back in New York Sat
urday night with the chain. fifteen
hours after he started = Baltimore San.

wide, none but geese l1yers are usea.
Delicious as toaeS graS is, when proper
ly prepared, it is an exceedingly indi-
gestible dish, and few, even OF those
favored with the strongest stomachs, can
venture to make on it square meal.
Still, as some of my young lady readers
may like to try their fair fingers at COM
pounding a terTine de toae grds with
which to astonish their friends, will
give the following recipe, which is ac-
cording to the formula in French fami-
lies: Place the hvers, five or six OF them,
according to their size, in cold water
for several hours in order that whatever
coagulated blood they may contain may
be soaked out. Then place them over
the fire in saucepan filled with cold
water and bring the water slowly to the
boiling point, after which again place
them in cold water for a few minutes
and remove all fibrous portions, and es-
pecially all portions that may have
touched the gall-bladder. Hash up
about one-sixth of the livers with a
pound of the best bacon, some twigs of
parsley and small quantity of mush-

pepper and place over the fire for fifteen
or twenty minutes until it is thoroughly
melted, and then spread it out on fiat
plate to cool. When it is cold add the
yelks of two perfectly fresh eggs, which
have first been well beaten up. The
ferr1ae is an earthen dish. with close
fitting cover, several inches deep and
able to stand the fire. Spread layer Of
the mixture over the bottom of such q
dish and place on this one or two OF the
remaining ivers, cut in halves; add q
little salt and peper and cover them with
slices of truff1es and then add other
layers of the mixture. More livers, salt,
pepper and truff1es according to the
depth of the terri,se in moderately hot
oven and let it remain there for two
hours When you take it from the oven
pour small glass of old sherry over 1t,
and as soon as it is cold it is ready for
the table; but it gains a great deaf by
being kept over for few days, so that
the flavor of the trufi1es may permeate
the whole dish equally. If the dish is
not intended for immediate use it may
be preserved for several months by not
filling the te7rige to the brim and by fill
ing it up with a layer of fine melted
lard, which will hermetically seal it

Pate lie FCie, Gras.

Ducks and geese have to undergo
very cruel treatment in order to provide
Us ''monsters" with those excellent foses
qras that arefound nowhere so good as
In Paris. The unfortunate amphibious
bird is fastened down to the floor Of a
dark cellar where a high degree Of
temperature is kept up and is fed to re-
pletion on q preparation Of oatmeal,
barley and corn. In a few weeks its
liver attains an extraordinary size and
then the bird is killed II is with this
liver that is prepared one of the greatest
gastronomic delicacies. These hvers
sometimes weigh four pounds apiece.
Such livers readily command from thir-
ty to forty cents apiece for ducks, and
from forty y-to-sixty cents per pound for
geese, These gigantic. hvers for the
most part come either from the south of
France or from Strasburg, those from
the last named place being the most
highly esteemed Some also from Aus
tria, but those do not command such
high prices.
The difference inthe price between the
hvers of ducks and geese is that the
former lose very much in volume when
placed over the fire and not on account
of any difference in the delicacy or favor
of the dish when made.
!, At Toulouse, which is famous in
France for this, duck Gvers are preferred
to those of geese, but at Strasburg,
whose reputation for foies gras is world

Indeed the ARGUS cannot truthfully deny
that the democrats are not actuated large

it is best that the offices should be filled
by men whose political views accord with
those of the party controlling the destinies
of the country, and there are plenty OF
honest efficient men in both parties fol

The Return OF the M.p,eson Opera Company.

The Return OF the MaPiesOn Opera Company.
Col. Mapleson's company began Its short

The audiences are npt to be Mt the lowest ebb.
But the attractions of Verdis most interesting

Aida. were sufficient to fll the house. though
it was with a very lukewarm audience.
Aida is one Of the roles in which Nine. Patti
appears to the best advantage. The presence

something OF stimulus to her efforts. added to
tho fervor OF her impersonation. We have here

in the season with the same cast as last even

was then said. The cast. outside of the part
that Patti and Galassi tako in 1t. is not a very
strong one. The only enthusiasm created was
by the fine finale OF the third act as given by
this company. but really the second act OF the
opera being the triumphal procession of Rha-
danes. The usual presentation of whole hot
houses OF flowers took place at this point. Ar
