Oyster Enters.

Princes. poets, pontilfs. orators.
statesmen. and wit, h&ye gluttonized
over the ovster-bcd Oysters were at
one time, it is true, in danger of being
FORGOTTEN. From the fourth century to
about the fifteenth they were not much
"a use: but from that date to the pres
ent time the demand has never slack
ened Going back to the times which
we now regard IS classic, we are told
that we owe the original idea OF pisci-
culture TO a certain Scrgius Orata, who
invented an oyster-pond in which to
breed oysters, not for his own table but
for profit.
Vitelius ate oysters all day long, and
some people iusinuate that he could
eat as many rs thousand at one sit
dnc-a happiness too great for belief
Callis,heues, the philosopher of Olyn-
thus. was also a passionate oyster
eater, and so was Caligula. the Roman
tvrant. The wise Seneca dallied over
his few hundreds efery week, and the
GREAT Cicero fed his eloquence with the
dainty The Latin poets sang the
praises of the oyster, and the fast men
of ancient Rome enjoyed the poetry
during their carouse, Just as modern
fellows, not at all classic enjoy song
over their oysters in the parlor Of a
London or provincial tavern.
In all countries there are records of
the excessive fondness of great men for
oysters. Cervantes was an oyster
lover. and he satirized the oyster-deal-
ers Of Spain. Louis TX, careful lest
scholarship should become deficient in
France, toasted the learned doctors of
the Sorbonne once a year on oysters;
and another Louis invested his cook
with an order of nobility as a reward
for his oyster-cookery. Napoleon, also,
was an oyster-lover; so was Rousseau,
and Marshal Turgot used to eat a hun
dred or two just to whet his appetite
for breakfast. Invitations to dish of
oysters were common in the literary
aud artistic circles of Paris at the latter
end of the last century. The eney-
clopedists were particularly fond of
oysters Hclyctius, Diderot, and the
Able Raynal, Noltaire. and others
were confirmed oyster-men
Among British celebrities, Alexander
Pope was an oyster-eater Of taste, and
so was Dean Swift Thompson, of
The Seasons" who knew all good
things, knew how good thing an
.oyster was. The Catvcr.

What Makes the Mule 60.

A gaunt and wicked looking mule,
belonging to a countyman, baked in
River street, and the usual crowd gath
cred to offer advice and suggest plans
for moving the animal. Various exper-
iments were tried, such as twisting his
tail and putting dirt into his eyes, ears
and mouth but he retained his COM
posure and refused to notice the treat
ment of the operator even with kick.
They were about to build a fire under
him when a saloon keeper in the neigh,
borhood offered to bet SIS that he could
make him "git," and, there being no
takers, concluded to do it just for the
sake of showing his knowledge of mules.
He took from his pocket flask of River
street tangle-foot," and poured little
into the mules massive mouth. In a
second afterward there was blank aston
ishment in every feature of that mules
countenance, and the next instant he
bumped himself and shot down the
street as if with the intent of eclipsing
st. Julien's record. Theowner watched
him for moment, and then, turning to
the bottle holder, said: "Mlster, ii THAI
stuff amt too pizen strong I'll take
drop OF it i'll my mouth, for I've got i
catch that mule. Nashua Gazette.

"Yiner Men and Momen.n

At Guadalajara there exists an indi
vidual having scaly skin exactly like
that of viper, even to the green color.
He has, beside, the viper habit of
changing or shedding his skin every
year. The skin comes off in a single
piece, and not as might be supposed in
parts. On the mans head there is not
a single hair. A sister of this man, who
died some time ago. manifested the same
phenomenon, and toward the close of
her life began slowly to gr W bind,
owing to the viper's skin encroaching on
the eyes to such an extent that she could
only see through a narrow aperture at
each eye. The same thing is now hap
pening to the brother. He can scarcely
see any object and the head presents the
repulsive aspect of viper. In Cuautla
these unhappy beings have been known
as the "viper men and women" and the
phenomenon is attributed to the fact
that their mother ate an excess of viper's
meat to cure disease of the blood. In
Cuba it is a common practice for people
to eat viper's flesh az a remedy for blood
diseases. Fe Nea0 Merican.

No Strikes in the South.

1t is fact, not without interest, that
strikes do not occur in the cotton mills,
coal mines and iron works of the South
ern States. They are chronic disease
ia the factory towns of the North, where
they frequently last for months, infict-
ing loss upon both strikers and en-
ployers. At Fall River, Lowell and
Lawrence, the female operatives take
part in these movements and support
them with as much vigor and determin-
alton as the men. It will be said that
manufacturing is large and important
business In the North, employing many
thousand men and women, while in the
South it is feeble and incipient interest
without the sharp and precise organiza-
ton it possesses in the North. This is
true, and, perhaps, it is partial expla-
nation of the absence of strike troubles
in the South, but it is probable that the
existence of more kindly relations be-
tween employers and employed in the
South has something to do with it. A
New Englender writing in the atlantic
Monthly on the subject of the man.
ufacturing in the South, while claiming
certain advantages for the business in
the Northern communities, is forced to
admit a certain contentment among
factory operatives in Georgia and
South Carolina which does not
exist in Massachusetts,. The South.
ern operatives, male and female, are OF
a better class; they are more kindly
treated, have better morals and are bet
ter fed than those of New England. The
immortality and recklessness to be found
III the Massachusetts factory towns do
not prevail among the operatives of
Georgia and South Carolina. "The
women and girls are modest and fem
inine in looks and bearing" he says, and
persons of vicious habits are not EN-.
ployed in the mills. They live in larger
and better houses there is no crowding
in tenement buildings; each family has
a house to itself, and this house fire.
quently has a vegetable garden attached,
and In many cases a COW is part of the
family outfit. In short, all the sur.
roundings of the operatives family in
The South are superior to those of his
brother in Massachusetts he is not
segregated in special class, but is a re-
'pectable member of the general COM
nunity, and shares its interests. The
,ontentment which this better condition
brings prevents the sharp antagonisms
between capital and labor which are con-
inually breaking out in the more COM
olex society of the North, and is one of
ne explanations of the absence of
strikes In the industrial establishments

The Pioneers.
BY 8. B. FOSTER.

Alas! for tie daring spirits,
Now past from earth away,
Whose noble forms are resting
Beneath their kindred clay;
Who, spent with toll and hunger,
Lay calmly down to die
With none but God above them
To catch their latest sigh.
Forth went those desert wanderers
As steadfast, true and bold
AS ever beaded pilgrim
Who sought the shrines Of old;
Forth went they in their manhood
To dare the trackless wilds,
But on their safe returning
No friends looked forth and smiled.
Their gaze was on the future,
When meath those western skies
And mid these tangled marshes
Fair cities soon should rise;
When farms and peaceful homesteads
Shor Id shine and nestle there,
And lowing herds and reapers
Make music in the air.
Across tie fertile regions,
With ruddy corn cow spread,
These struggling men first wandered
With slow and weary tread;
And many OF these pilgrims
Fell silent, one by one
Till many weary bodies
Lay fostering in the sun.
OFT as the hosts OF commerce
Ger earth go marching on,
Some whitening bones will show US
Another outpost won;
Yet will each bolder spirit
Still ever seek the van,
Till desert, prairie, forest,
Confess the sway Of man.
So in the path of learning,
or science, liberty,
Will minds of highest mettle
The foremost strive to be;
What though they fail of reaching
Their grand and lofty prize,
At leas. their PROSTATE bodies
Shall help mankind to rise.
Then hail to the noble vanguard,
The worlds great pioneers,
All honor to their courage,
To their memory our tears!
Theirs is the suffering hardship,
The seed-time aud the toll;
For those who may come after
the harvest and the spoil.
Shall we who reap :heir sowing
Think lightly of our trust,
Or bend our heads in silence
And let tur treasures rust?
Nay, let our toll tribute,
Above their tombs be seen,
Whilst we as faithful Stewards
Preserve their memory green.
