the reaction from Sundays deDnuch,
so commonly felt during its hours, may,
in part account for the title. Billing
ham, who murdered Mr.. Percival, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, in 1872,
was hanged on Monday, and so Was
Comwisier, the assassin of Lord William
Russell, who WINS executed twenty oight
years later. Wainwright, executed in
London three years ago, for killing his
mistress and cutting up her body, met
his fate on Tuesday, and n glance at
other cases would show that every Sec
ular day has been similarly employed.
A former Governor of the indignant
minister's own State deliberately chose
other days than Friday for enforcing tho
extreme penalty OF the law with the
hope of freeing Friday from supcrstitious
associations and bad luck. and, 50 lar as
these are dependent on thoughts of the
scahold, he acted wisely. The need of
this precaution may 10 doubted by
some, but tho stupid criticism of one
who claims to be- MI instructor of the
people shows that il was not superliuous.

the Minister Of State. In 1871, twenty
three foreign papers were not allowed to
enter the empire, and fifty-two Austrian
Hungarian papers Were debarred from
being sent by post. Moreover, the Aus
trian press has to submit to stamp
duty, abolished in Hungary, but not in
the remainder of the empire, though
many efforts have been made to obtain
its total abolition; and this adds not
only to the cost OF tho papers, but
necessarily restricts the number OF
readers. 1t is, therefore, not to be Won
dered at if these newspapers cannot live
without some sort of extraneous sup
port and the want of independence OF
n considerable part of the continental
press may be traced to the constant ill.,
reference of the authorities, and to a
limited circulation, which renders it i'm
possible to secure the services of men
Indifferent to outside influences, and
satisfied with the fair earnings of an uu,
fetterod pen.

TIE FRIDAY PREJUDICE.

A Philadelphia clergyman has object
ed to the execution of the death penalty
on any other day than Friday, ON the
ground that. as Christ was crucifed on
Friday, the selection of that day for
hangings affords collateral evidence of
the event. 1t il difficult to see any his
torical coroborations in this were tho
statement true, which it is not. A usage
has grown up of late in some of our
States to carry out all death sentences
on Friday. 1t has not been universal,
however, in this country, and it has
never prevailed in England. Up to
about forty five years ago, only forty
eight hours were allowed to intervene
between the sentence and execution of O
criminal. As trials were likely to begin
toward the middle of the week and to be
continued near its end, it happened that
u large proportion OF the hangings took
place on Monday morning. To this cir
cumstance the appellation "blue Mon
dav" owed its existence In part, though

TURNIPS ~ FOOD.

To cook turnip, says the Caterer, is
so simple matter that there should be
very little said about it. Generally
speaking, however, this wholesome veg
etable is presented in washed-out
state, 30 that it is quite seldom We dis
cover its real flavor.
Many will, perhaps, say that the real
flavor of the turnip is too strong, and
this may be an argument in favor of the
reduction OF its flavor in the process of
cooking. DE 9uStiJtts non est disp,t-
tdnduD1, and those who cannot endure
the full flavor of this root will have no
trouble in subduingit. But it should be
known that the saccharine and gummy
constituents that ara removed and
therefore lost in the customary modes of
cooking, are the most nutritious por-
tons, and communicate to the dislt
when it is cooked, ON what we may call
conservative principles. far finer flavor
than the majority of people have any
idea of. That we may be understood,
we will ask the reader to cook two tur-
nips i'll two different ways. The first to
be peeled and sliced, and left to soak in
cold water for an hour or more. Tho
slices are to be boiled until quite
tender, and then are to he drained and
nicely mashed with butter. This is the
most common method of cooking, and it
has the demerit of washing out the gum
and sugar and other fine constituents OF
the root, and consequently the flavor is
very much reduced. The other root is
to be washed quite clean, but is not to
be peeled, or cut, or soaked. Boil it
whole in its "jacket." 1t will take
twice as long to cook as the one that
was cut. When, by trying it with a
fork, you find it quite tender, take it up,
peel 1t, press it moderately, and mash it
with butter. You will be surprised at
the difference. Instead of being, as
perhaps you will expect, strong
frank" or "bitter," it will be de-
licious, full.aavored, and will contain all
the nourishment that was in it before it
was cooked.

NEWSPAPERS IN AUSTRIA.

In Austria Hungary, every newspaper
appearing more than twice month has
to deposit caution-money, if politics are
treated or mentioned. For Vienna, aud
surroundings, thi, deposit is fixed at
$1,000; for towns of 10000 inhabitants,
at $1,000; for towns of 10000 inhabi-
tants, at$2, 900, and for allother places, ut
81 900; but papers only appearing three
times week need only pay half the
amount. By an infringement of the
press laws, the coution-money may be
partly or wholly forfeited, and NIL fines
are levied ON the amount, which has
again to be made up to thu original
sum, if the papers are to go on. To fa-
cilitate Governmental control, the print
er of every paper has to forward copies
of it to the local police, to the public
prosecutor, to the chief of the local gov.
eminent, to the Minister of State, to the
Supreme Police Department, beside
supplying the Imperial Court Library
and the local court or national libra
ries. The publication of paper can
be stopped either by the police, or by
decision OF court OF law; but the
transmission of foreign papers by the
post can only be prohibited by order Of

BUTTER IND oLEoMI RG IRTyE.

There is movement on foot to dis
criminate between the butter and the
oleomargarine which the United States
ships to Europe. There was time
when butter was plentiful everywhere,
for the agricultural and working clnsses
never thought of using any except on
f,stivc days. The English peasant still
cats bread and dripping, or bread and
lard, when he can get it. But the
dwellers i'll the towns, down to the very
poorest, insist upon having bread and
butter, and the street children begin to
consider this n staple article of food.
The yearly consumption of butter il
London Inns been estimated at ten
pounds per head of the population, or
&C, 1000, 900 pounds por year, without in
GLIDING some 1900 tons necessary for
victualing ships leaving port. Keeping
i'll view that tho price of all other pro-
visioSs has been steadily enhanced, and
that meat has doubled III price within
the last twenty-five years, while butter
has made but slight advance, it be-
comes evident that some substitute has
taken the place of real butter. higli&4

attractive places to be seen it Ralti-

Washington our party returned to
Baltimore, some going to Philadel-

took in Gettysburg and other histor-

out was a grand one, and one, too,
that tie Georgians thoroughly en-
lCyed. On our return, the party
stopped off to visit the Laray
cavern5 and the Natural Bridge, both

After an absence of ten days, our

Bainbridge Democrat.

A reporter of the Morning News
called yesterday on Capt. Fleming,
Superintendent of the Savannah,
Florida and Western Railway, to
ascertain what truth there might
be in the rumor that the Savannah,
Florida and Western was negotiating
for the purchase of the Brunswick
ant"Western Rlilroad.
Capt. Fleming remarked that they
were all the time originating rumors
at jacksonville which was probably
the s0urce Of the rumor in this in -
stance, aud that If any such negotia-
tons were in progress he had heard
nothing Of them and knew nothing
whatever concerning them,
The Jacksonville Herald Of yester-
day states that it learns from pt4sate
sources that the Savannah, Florida
and Western has negotiated for the
purchase OF the Brunswick ard Yves
tern. Having before heard such q
ramon in Jacksonville, its reporter
called upon Capt. Ives, the agent of
the Waycross road, but the latter, it
is reported, prudently declined, at the
present, to say anything about the
purchase or transfer, but confessed
that he had heard such rumor him
self. The Herald goes on to say
"thare seems to be no doubt, from
all thar can be learned from other
reliable sources, thai such a sale is
pending and highly probable, bat
whether it has been closed yet, it
cannot say. The Brunswick. and
Western Railroad extends from
Albany to Brunswick, Ga, and
forms portion Of TIE Central
Railroad system from Atlanta to
Jacksonville via Albany, making
the shortest route between the two
latter named cities.

Thereport that there are hundreds
of Mormon polygamists in the
mountains Of Tennessee and Alabama
who aie TOO poor to go to Utah is
probably an exageration. A poor
man is the last person in the world
who would want more than one wife
in the localities named, unless the
wives could be made a little more
than seif-supporting, and the ginseng
crop in the mountains is not large
enough for that to be accomplished
in many instances.
