OYSTERS.


This useful article offood will soon
be out of season. But at the present
time they are peculiarly enjoyable.
Most people can take them in any
shape. A few rules for their prepare
ton will be in order. Always serve
raw oysters on the half shell. They
should not be opened until just before
serving. Six or seven large oysters
should be given each person with
small piece of lemon that can be squeez-
ed without covering the fingers with
the juice.
To make oyster croquettes, take one
half pint law oysters, one-half pint
cooked veal, one heaping tablespoonful
softened butter, three tablespoonful
fine cracker crumbs, yolks of two eggs.
one teaspoonful onion juice, one salt
spoonful salt, one-half saltspoonful
pepper. Oysters and veal should be
chopped fine, the cracker crumbs sifted
using the dust. This is good way of
using up cold veal. The recipe is re-
commended by Miss Leonard, of the
Boston Cooking School.
For roasted oysters on toast the Home
Department of the Brooklyn Times
says: Take eighteen large oysters,
or thirty small ones, one teaspoonful of
flour. one tablespoonful of butter, salt,
pepper, three slices toast. Have the
toast buttered and on hot dish. Put
the butter in small saucepan, and,
when hot, add the dry -four. Stir un-
til smooth, but not brown; then add
the cream and let it boil up once Put
the oysters, in their own liquor into a
hot oven for three minutes, then add
them to the cream. Season, and pour
over the toast. Garnish the dish with
thin slices of lemon and serve very hot.
oysters are very nice roasted in
the shell. Place them in baking pan
and keep them IN a hot oven for about
twenty minutes. Take them from the
oven and serve them in hot dishes. BY
this mode of preparation the first and
best flavor of the oyster is retained.
For oysters stewed in escalop shells:
Drain all the liquor from a quart of
oysters into stew-pan. Let it come
to boil and skim. Then add half a
pint of cream or milk with which two
tablespoonful of flour has been mixed.
tablespoonful of butter, if cream is
used; but if milk is used then take three
tablespoonful of butter, season with
salt. pepper, and grating of nutmeg;
Last of all add the oysters. Take from
the fire Immediately. Have the shells
buttcred and sprinkled lightly with
bread crumbs; about one pint ofcrumbs
will be necessary for all. Put the shells
in baking-pan and bake fifteen min
utes. Serve very hot on large plat
ter and garnish with parsley The
quantity given will fill twelve common
sized shells.''

Again ReAnIted.

Riel, the leader of the Northwest half
breed rebellion, was notified the Goth, that
he had been again respited, this time to
Nov. 18th. He expressed disappointment
because it was not reprieve, as he ex-
pected. However, he is reported as in
good spirits, and confident he will not be
hanged.

Riel Must Hang.

The English privy.. council the 22d, dis
missed the appeal of Louis Riel, the leader
Of the late half-breed rebellion in the
Northwest. This action leaves Riel's case
in the hands of the Canadian government,
either to carry out the sentence Of death
against him, or commute him as it shonld
deem advisable. Up to the present time
there has been nothing to indicate any dis
position or intention on the part of the
Canadian authorities to interfere with the
carrying out of the sentence. Riel was
greatly aggitated when informed of the
decision, and deep feeling was manifested
by the lf-breeds.

This publication has led to a great con-
troversy and is, for the time, the absorbing
topic of the daily papers. Interviews with
out limit are being printed pro and con
johnson and Grant respectively. Gen.
Sherman at first refused to talk but has
finally given an interview substantiating
Mr.. Depews statement. Surprise is quite
generally expressed that such proposition
as that of Johnson's should not have been
brought out upon the impeachment trial
and also that Gen. Grant should not have
made public in some more authentic form.
The agitation bids fair to continue until a
good deal Of what has heretofore been un-
written history of tho final days of the
rebellion becomes q matter of permanent
record. AS Col. Fred Grant requested the
statement from Mr.. Depew he may have
some written record of his fathers substan-
tiating the story.

Ivy Against the Walls of Dwellings.

We have frequently heard it main
tanned that it is injurious and unwise
to permit ivy to cover the walls Of
dwelling houses, as it must necessarily
occasion an internal damp, prejudicial
to human health and comfort, by ar
resting the rain and conducting it into
the crevices of the walls, OBTAINING it
there until it oozes through and occa-
sions such injurious dampness rs il,
must be most desirable to prevent, even
ut the expense of sacrificing such an
ornamental covering as luxuriant and
evergreen or variegatcd ivy. Now en-
perience and reason testify to the very
opposite of this, and they are found
boldly asserting that no covering what
ever is better calculated or more pow
erfully and uniformly tends TO effect
the desirable object of keeping the
walls of a house dry, both internally
and externally, than a general coat OF
ivy on the outside. Let any one cx-
anime any UNCOVERED wall, and they
will discover the leaves hang down, one
over another. from the highest point to
which the plant attains to the ground,
forming an ornamental shield that casts
off the rain and prevents its beating
against the wall, conveying it from
leaf to leaf downward, preventing its
ever coming i'll contact with or moist
ening the walls; while the clinying na-
ture of the plant, intended for the pur-
pose of adhesion. thrusts its shoots in
to the creviccs rs roots and claspers.
according rs it ascends and acts as so
many sucking engines. extracting ana
drawing away for the nourishment OF
its own luXuriancc whatever moisture
the walls may be supposed to attract
or imbioc from the atmosphere. No
walls are dryer, or SO dry, as those to
which ivy forms a permanent external
covering. Inside the shoots and next
the wall will be found. III addition y
coating of dry dust and cobwchs, keep
inc the walls perfectly dry i'll the wet
test of weather, and that. too. on
aspects mostly exposed to the rain and
least to the cheering smiles OF the SUM-
Depend upon it, ivy clinging against Il
wall is Il protector from DAMP not
cause of it. Let our readers plant ivy
against their dwellings without any
fear of inconvenicnt results. 1t is q
warmth-giving agent also. as many can
testify. The old prejudice against the
employment of ivy as an external coV-
ering to buildings is rapidly dying out
and will at no distant date cease to be
put forward as worthy OF attention.

Diet and Food,

l. Foods are divided into /, water: 2
meaty or albumenous substances: 2
starches or carbohydrate: 1, fats: :
mineral matters; 6, accessory foods
All of which have their REPRESENTATIVE
in the body ITSELF A human body is ~
'watery' that the corpse of a man
weighing 150 pounds, and carefully
drled, would come out a shr;veied mass
OF about fifty pounds in weight; tho
meaty substances are represented by
muscle, the starchy by -lvco-cn found
in the liver, and by 4 sugar (jnositaS
found in the muscles: tat is present
padding angular parts and GIVING a
roundness to the frame: mineral mat
ters abound, especially in the bones
and teeth.
IL. The composition of the human
BODY is somewhat rs follows:
ADULT MAN.
Wmscio:s NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. ..i6 per cent
Organs in the chest and abdomen er per cent cent
ra1 ana skin..... - per cent
~ ...'.................. ....... = Oer cent
Therefore, supposing person weigh
ed 100 pounds, 63 pounds would be
muscle, 372 pounds would be skin and
tat, "a pounds would be bone. and
pounds would be brain.
III. More than half the weight of the
body is bone and muscle.
Nv. The amount of water in food is
very large. A bcefsteak contains 75
per cent of water. In buying pound.
only one-fourth of that pound is dry
solid meat. Cabbages contain s. to so
per cent of their weight of water, and
succulent fruits sometimes more than
so per cent. or substances most COM
monty eaten, rusks or biscuits are the
drlest and watermelons the most watery
of foods.
V. When water is taken into the
system it assists without doubt in the
building up Of new tissues, in the re-
pair OF old. According to this view it
is not merely Il dilutcnt Of fluids. it
does not simply play an inactive part
like lubricant OF machinery, but is in
the truest sense food.
vi. Life cannot be maintained on
pure starch, sugar, or fat for Il long
time; on the other hand. Il purely meat
diet can maintain life indefinitely.
VII. Sugar cannot be made the basis
VI u'c0' ouC IIce cau, SO ln;tt taxing
complex foods, rice heads the list. vi
the three great foods on which, with
very little addition, millions of human
beings live--viz., rice, bread, and pota-
toes-rice is nearly all assimilatcd, fine
wheaton bread being almost equal to
rice, while with potatoes there is near
ly 40 per cent of waste, OF substances
which pass away without being utiliz-
ed. So that in point of economy. and
considering the relative price of the
three, rice stand first. -Amcrican Gro

l. speaking of the appointments of Presidential Postmasters, Postmaster General VIlas said in addition to the re- movals for offensive partissnship ths. there were many more cases in which. after consideration, it had been decided not to remove postmasters- If those eases, although the evidence of oifen- sIve partisaEshIp hsd been presented 1t was regarded as insufficient, the PresI- dent not being disposed to seize the op- portunity for removal, but D recuire the existence of partisanship to be shown as an uudenisble fact. As show ing the spirit of fairness and delicscy that has actuated the President in dealing with the Presidential Post masters, the Postmaster General said that thsre were eighteen such Presi- dential appointments made by Pres ident'Arthur in the last days of his term Tn cases where vacancies had occurred, and which had been confirmed by the Senate, hut no commissions had been issued. Tn all these cases as a matter of legal right, President Cleveland could have made appointments, because the act of appointment had not been com pleted by the issuance of commissions. but be thought 1t only considerate and fair that he should give commissions in completion otthe act of appointment, and it had been done in all cases but one, and in that case there had been res ignstion by the sppoIntee before the commission was issued.

 In winter we snow balled, slid down bill, an skated- In summer we swan in the creek and boated in the pond. There was village debating society. and We had district spelling schools.

THE ARMY IN ARIZONA,

Judging from the reports we are re- ceiyinR from Arizona and New Mexico it Is the Indians who are hunting the Unit ed States troops and not the troops who are hunting the Indians. It seems odd that seventy Indian bucks can chase 1000 United States soldiers up and down the defiles ID the mountains, but they appear to be doing 1t. Last week the hostiies captured Captain Lavton's sup ply camp, just across the border, and en Indian scout testifes that but for the assistance of the scouts Geronimo would have cut of the troops who were sent Tn chase of him t0 8 man. From Guadalupe canon the story comes that the troops are "out of provisions aud cannot move till they get fresh supplies" From another point We hear that Tt is impossible to to much on account of the lack ot transportation" From vet another we are told that "the experience of this campaign has demonstrated the inability of the troops t. dislodge the Indians Tn any instance" The savsges, We know, have neither supplies nor transportation, yet they manage to get along aud to murder a man or two s day without polestation.
 Officers of the army must not be sur pri7ed fl this campaign yields fruits that will not be palatable to the profession. It Is strengthening to the bellef, which has long been current in AriZous, that the army does not want to punish h. dian outbreaks; that if deals with them gently, because If they were wholly sup pressed, the occupation Of the army
 would be gone. and the large eIpendi- ture of money for army purposes ID Arizona would cease. It may be sssum- ed as a matteT bscourse that the whole subject of this last Indian uprising will be taken up in Congress. and that the lukewsrm policy of the army officers ID Arizona will strengthen the position of that large and increasing body os mem- berS wno opPo,e any appropriations and insist on s reduction of our standing army tO some 10000 men. l. can cer- tGinly be urged that the money which has been thus far spent in the pretense Of hunting the @ ChIricahuas has been practically thrown away, and the views Of the enemies of the United States army will command the more weight If they are studied in the light of such comments as those which lately emaDBte1 from the Presidio.
 The American army in time of peace has never been a popular institution. A feeling prevails that it is officered by | men whose citizenship IS smothered by | their devotion to their caste. The op- position to tue West PoInt sppropri- atlon appears togsln strength each year. Various motives are assigned for uppos- ing It, but the real reason is that people | have got to thinking that the Military | Academy Is a nursery for g military ar Is; s;ocrRcy, which r-sent with scorn civi- iisn criticism. IL would not require much of Rn effort to defeat the Bppro- prIatloD altogether and to close up an institution winch appears to be main tsined for the benefit of the sons of E. Chronicle.

sam Patch's Leap.


 l must dispose of one or two little things in Rochester without recOllecting precisely the year in which they occurred sam Patch. the famous jumper and diver. came there in the fall. We will say, of lo-s. and proposed to leap from the falls in the heart of the village On the day fixed sam appeared The banks of the river as far as the eye could reach were lined with spectators. He was dressed in a suit of white and will state for the benefit of other fools of the same class that before he leaped he placed his hands firmly on his lOins. then sprang from the shelving rock, and went down as straight as an arrow He came up feet foremost, and swan ashore amid the shouts 1f thousands A few days later he proposed to leap again He erected a scaf. fold twenty tve feet high on the brink of the falls. making the descent l35 feet.
 On the day named another immense throng assembled Mir Weed and hap pened to meet at the foot of the scaifold atch came dressed as before and. appar- ently. a little under the influence of liquor. As he ascended the scaffold Mr W ced left, but l remained As Patch went down his arms were all in a whirl and he struck the wafer with a stunning splash The crowd waited for hours. He did not rise. The next spring the mangled remains of the poor wretch were found al the foot of the falls at Carthage four miles below.

Several dozens of newspapers, aided by several scores of correspondents, are busily engaged turning out remedies to be applied to the hostile Apaches in or der to make them peaceful and law abiding citizens of the country, and to properly punish them for their crimes. In view of the fact that the aforesaid Apaches are kicking up their heels and prancing around the country in the un- disputed enjoyment of all the liberty and license they could possibly desire, and daring the whole United States army, with the militia of two territories thrown m to catch them if they can, it would seem that these numerous sug- gestions are just little previous.
