VISITORS.

VISITORS.
One cricket match at Staten Island and two
three unimportant matches in and around Newark
sum I'D the whole of the cricket IN the neghbOrhood
of New-York last week. The reasons for this
quetude were not far to seek The death OF General
Grant. the shockngy sudden death of O popular
member of the Staten Island Club and an equally
popular member of the International I ila Company
CLUB, coupled with the heat sufficient reasons
for tho cessation of the game.
Saturday was frightfully hot day, and the men
who played in the broiIng ut Staten Island that
Clement Chell and Charles CheI were both pros
trated, ~ was also X. A. Ogilby. Clement Chell de-
spite all efforts never recovered, and died early OH
Monday morning. Fears also entertained for
the life Of his brother, but he happily out all
right
1t is not ut all unlikely that.had it not been for
the illness of the two Chels. who were both unable
to bat in the second innings Staten Island wOuld
have lost the game. As II was 1t the excit

season.

Saturday morning cast gloom over the east shore

Stephens Clam ChOWder.

Carefully wash two quarts of clans
after they are taken from the shells,
and chop them in quite small pieces;
strain the water in which they were
washed through a clean fac towel to
free it from sand, and save it for use il
the chowder; peel and slice one pint of
white onions and two quarts of potatoes,
laying the potatoes in plenty of cold water
to keep them white; peel and slice one
quart of tomatoes or use one can; chop
fine four ounces of fat salt=pork; first
fry the pork and onions in the chowder
kettle until they begin to brown; then
put in the sliced potatoes and two quarts
of hot water, and boil for ten minutes;
season with level tea-spoonful each of
the leaves OF parsley, hyn1s, swoet-ma-
ioram and celery seed; instead of the
celery seed a cupful of finely chopped
celery may be used; next put in the
clam Juice and tomatoes, together with
q palatable seasoning of salt and pep
per, and boil the chowder for about ten
minutes, removing all scum as it rises,
last of all, add the chopped CLAIMS, and
continue the boiling for about five min
utes: see that the chowder is palatably
seasoned; if it seems too thick put in q
little boiling water; serve the chowder
with sea biscuit.

Boston Brown Bread.

Make this by substituting two parts
Indian meal and one part rice -four
for wheaton flour, adding rs we'll as
yeast, a small quantity Of soda saIera-
tus. It requires we'll kneadiDg, and
must rise for five hours at least, and
after it is made into loaves they should
rise an hour longer. Bake four pound
loaf quite three hours; the oven must
be slow. Ordinary family bread from
white flour is generally mixed with
sponge" made over night. A very
good recipe is as under: Half a dozen
potatoes boiled and mashed while hot,
a quarter pint of brewers yeast, two
ounces white sugar, two ounces lard, one
teaspoonful soda, three cupfuls flour "a
pint), quart of warm water-that in
which the potatoes were boiled. In
mixing add the soda last of all. Cover
lightly in warm weather and tightly
in winter. This quantity will make up
from two to three quarts of -four suffi-
cient to bake at time for a small family.
The inexperienced in bread making from
sponge in place of yeast must remember
that it requires to be twice kneaded-
first when the sponge and flour are we'll
amalgamated, then the most thorough
kneading is necessary, and again after
the dough has risen, when ten minutes
or 80 will suffice. Then, after putting
into the creased tins, or making into
rolls and laying them in one large tin,
again leave the dough near the fire for
an hour previous to baking.

1t was a temptation, such as only
homeless ones can understand; but,
after moment, she shook her head,
and then, reading the questioning look
in those keen eyes, she said, while the
color deepened in her face:

The door opened, and the brakeman
called out the name of the place where
she was to stop, and the next moments
were spent in gathering together her
belongings. He helped her off the
train, and grasped her hand Heartily as
he stood one instant there:
"I shall always remember Tou and
your happy ways of looking at tie, aud
your faith will help me-" and then he
swung on to the slowly-moving train,
and she walked away into the cleaning,
a tear or two falling as she thought of
the lonely days to come. e.-Ihe Current

An Eskimo Gambling Game.

A favorite Eskimo amusement, says
Lieutenant Schwatka, in st. Nicholas,
is to take one of the long handled musk
OK cups and, partially filling it with
soup or stew, whirl it around on board
or fat rock in the center of a group col
lected to play the game the person to
whom the handle OF the cup points when
it has stopped turning is the victor, and
can appropriate the contents of the cup.
This game is not so much played by the
children as by the old women of the
tribe, and, / am sorry to say, that this
simple game is often used by them lis a
means of gambling. When the person
to whom the handle has pointed has
taken out the article placed in the cup
COR alongside it, if it be too large), some
other article must be placed in it or
alongside it, and q brisk twirl is then
given it that sends it spinning around
again for four or five times before it
settles to rest and the handle desig-
Mates the new victor. l have said this
Is II hlGu VI SathDilHB, DeCduSe tue lucky
one often puts in the musk-ox horn cup
things much more valuable than are
taken out, the only idea of value among
the Eskimo being the present necessity
for au article. A needle that is wanted
for use Immediately is more valuable in
their eyes than the horn cup which
holds it, although it may have taken
them a month to make the cup,

FlOgging a Dead Woman.

A curious story, showing the way in
which the bodies of suicides are treated
in China, appears in the native paper
Sheal Pao. A woman, about thirty
years of age, VINO found that her good
looks were rapidly disappearing, threw
herself off bridge in Pekin, and was
drowned. Next morning the officials
ordered the corpse to be carried on to
The bridge from which the deceased had
thrown herself, and forty blows with 4
whip were administered to it by the sol
diers. To punish a body after death
seems alike horrible and opposed to all
common sense. Yet it was but few
years ago that the law in England or
dained that the body of suicide should
be buried at cross road and a stake
driven through it. Indeed, i'll many
countries the fear of mutilation after
death is often greater than that of death
itself. In all our little wars, it is looked
upon as point of honor with our
troops that mono of our dead should fall
into the hands of the enemy, while most
savage people are ready to make des-
perate efforts to carry off their dead
The Arabs of the Sudan, the aborigines
of America, the Kaffir tribes of South
Africa, are animated alike by this spirit;
and senseless and revolving as the Chi
nese fogging of dead woman may APP
pear, there can be little doubt that it
has strongly deterrent effect upon the
living, and in that respect stands ON pre-
ciseIy the same footing as capital pun
ishment. -LOnGOn Standard

How They Elect President.

A member of Sorosis says Perhaps
the general public would like to know
how Sorosis chooses her president. L
will tell you:
At the annual meeting, first of all the
outgoing president recapitulates what
she has done for the past and weeps.
Next the vice-president implores the
club to re-elect the president, because
she had been SO sick, and requests
the opposing candidate to withdraw.
Then the members say Poor thing |
let's give it to her another year." and so
the president is again elected, and the
majority are defeated because they can't
agree on a candidate who is firm enough
to resist entreaty.

Il SONG IN THE NIGHT

The dry leaves dropped upon the way,
With constant sound, like falling rain;
would give much this weary day
To hear that sound again.
Behind, with sharp and even rim,
Black hills of cloud possessed the sky;
A star was glimmering far and dim
Through faint light on high.
The woods were dark, and all abroad
The fields were dark, the pathways dim;
Ny soul yearned for the living God
Thro' the thick cloud which foldeth Him.
When all at once, up scared the moon,
With sudden flood of tender light
A gracious flood; and 10 right soon
Woods, fields, and ways were bright.
The solemn trees stretched out their boughs
And caught the light. With quiet mind,
''Surely," said, ''this is Gods house;
And where men seek they find"
Tears filed mine eyes, but they were sweet;
Aud, standing ON the shining road,
knew what Spirits led my feet
By darksome ways to God.
Good Words.
