Hunting the wild turkey is con-
sidcred very good sport, but as they
are only in season during the cold
months it requires a hunter Of en-
durance to find them. In the
mountains they have curious way
of getting shot. After building a
"blindn Of boughs to hide behind:
the hunter throws q quantity OF
grain upon the ground within easy
gunshot, and drops few grains in
lines radiating probably for a hun
dred yards in every direction through
the woods. There is then a plan on
the ground like the hub and spokes
of a wheel Early in the morning
the wandering flock of turkeys will
find one of these spokes and run
along it. eating as they go, until
they reach the feast Of corn at the
hub. This is where the hunter is
concealed, and you can imagine the
rest.
Another device for Turing them
within gunshot is the turkey call,
sort of whistle made often from a
wing bone, and with which the
voice of turkey can be very well
initiated. The male birds answer
the call and gradually approach,
amid breathless interest on the part
of the sportsman, until bang, bang!
off 90 both barrels, and it frequent
happens, off go the turkeys with
only the loss of a few feathers.
The gobbler is an ill-natured fell
low, and will break up his wife's
nest and smash the eggs every time
he gets an opportunity. Worst OF
all he kills the young, and not alone
of his own family, but also of his
neighbors. This teaches mother
turkey to hide her nest away and
to guide her young SO they will not
be discovered by the male. The in
stinct clings to them in domestica-
ton and they require close watching
to prevent the nests from being hid
den away.

Fees For the Garter.

Among the miscellaneous votes
which will shortly come before the
House of Commons, is an item OF
some fS00 for expenses connected
with the admission of Prince George
of Wales to the Order of the Garter.
The fees amount to about f400, and
the remainder of the charge is for
the extravagant and quite useless
outfit" of royal knight. Last
year similar payment was made for
Prince Albert Victor. l do really
think that when members of the
royal family are created Knights
either of the Garter or any other or
der the expenses should be paid by
themselves, or at least Parliament
ought not to be asked to defray the
outlay; for it is altogether monstrous
that the taxpayers should have to
pay for such costly puerilities, and
l know that these sentiments are
not confined to Radicals, but are
fully shared by many Tories. Why
too, should a number of harpies re-
ceive f400 in fees each time per-

Dr. Lewis ON .Our Digestion

Biliousness is a sort of respectable
cover for piggishness. Reader,are you
bilious? Let me prescribe for you.
First, on getting up and going to
bed drink plenty of cold water. Eat
for breakfast, until the bilious at
tack passes, a little stale bread, say
one slice. and a piece half as large
as your hand of boiled mutton or
beef. If the weather is warm, take
instead a little cracked wheat or
oatmeal porridge. For dinner take
about the same thing. Go without
supper. Exercise freely in the open
air, producing perspiration. once or
twice a dav. In few days your
biliousness is all gone. This result
will come, even though the bilious
ness is one of the Spring sort, and
one with which you have, from year
to year, been much afflicted. Herb
drinks, bitter drink, lager beer, ale,
whiskey, and a dozen other such
Spring medicines are simply bar
barous.
l had friend, a lawyer, who once
or twice a month had an attack of
bilious headache, and sometimes
was obliged to ask the postpone
ment of an important suit. At last,
tired and disgusted, he came to me
and asked if nothing could be done,
for really it was getting to be the
torment of his life. | told him how
to eat and drink and exercise, and
promised him if he would follow
my prescription he should never
have another bilious sick headache.
Ny prophecy proved true as to two
or three years. but after time he
got back into the ale, strong coffee,
sausage, melted butter, and other
denominations, and of course his old
headache. But he knew the rem
edy, and when it became too hard
to bear he fell back upon the pre-
scription, and has never failed to OBJ
tain relief
A great many persons seem to be
quite willing to suffer constant de-
preston, constant indigestion, with
its innumerable torments-entirely
willing to suffer all this for the mo-
mentary pleasure of slipping down
their throats something that tastes
good. l can think of nothing else
which so strikingly exhibits mans
undeveloped condition. Is it not
funny to see dyspeptic whose life
is one of unbroken torture, who
wishes himself dead, who never has
a good nights sleep and never a
single happy, social hour, whose en-
tire life is a failure. both as to en-
joyment and usefulness, but who,
three times a dav, shoveIs into his
stomach a quantity of hot, greasy,
indigestible trash, 10 keep up the
flame, producing and reproducing
the suffering ?-Dr. Dio Lewis.

He Wanted to Slaughter Arabs.

A rather good story is told at the
expense of a gallant General COM
manding one of the English out
districts. At the time when the Su-
akin expedition was being got ready
he was summoned by telegram to
London No appointment as Com
mande--in-Chief of the Suakim
forces had as yet been made, and he
went to the War office full of high
hopes These hopes were further
raised by the first words the Duke
said to MIN. Il have sent for you,
Gen. --, to ask whether you are
prepared to take command Of
The Generals face beamed in an
ticipation of the high honor about
TO be conferred upon him. The
command, went on the Duke quiet
lly, "of the volunteers at the Bright
on review" | believe the now dis
appointed General declined the
honor. What made the disappoint-
ment the more bitter was that this
gallant officer had, as matter o.
fact, been talked OF for the Suakim
command, and he knew it; but the
selection was not approved of in
certain high quarters.

What Happens to Man.

About the age of 36 the lean man
usually becomes fatter, and the fat
man leaner. Again, between the
years AZ and so, his appetite fails,
his complexion fakes, and bis tongue
is apt 70 be furred upon the least ex-
ertion of body or mind. At this pc
Rod his muscles become flabby, his
joints weak, his spirits droop, and
his sleep is imperfect and unrefresh-
ing. After suffering under these
complaints . year, or perhaps two,
he starts afresh. with renewed vigor,
and goes on to 81 or 90. when a
similar change takes place, but with
aggravated symptoms. When these
grand periods have been successive
ly passed, the gravity of incumbent
years is more strongly marked, and
he begins to boast of his age.

Lincoln as an Advocate.

Lincoln was, upon the whole, the
strongest jury lawyer in his State.
He had the ability to perceive, with
almost intuitive quickness, the de-
cisive point in the case. In the ex-
animation and cross-examination of
a witness he had no equal. He
could compel a witness to tell the
truth when he meant to lie, and if a
witness lied be rarely escaped ex-
posure under Lincoln's cross-exam-
ination. He could always make a
jury laugh, and often weep, at his
pleasure. His legal arguments adj
dressed TO the judges were always
clear, vigorous and logical, seeking
to convince rather by the applica-
ton of principle than by the citation
of cases. A stranger going into
court when he was trying a cause
would, after a few moments, find
himself on Lincoln's side, wishing
him success. He seemed to mag
netize every one. He was so straight
forward, so direct, so candid, that
every spectator was impressed with
the idea that be was seeking only
truth and justice, He excelled in
the statement of his case. However
complicated, he would disentangle
it, and present the real issue in Sc
simple and clear a way that all
could understand. Indeed, his
statement often rendered argument
unnecessary, and frequently the
court would stop him, and say, d" II
this is the case, brother Lincoln, We
will hear the other side" His illus.
trations were often quaint and home
ly, but always apt and clear, and
often decisive. He always met hi:
opponents case fairly and squarely
and never intentionally misstated
law or evidence. Fl

The following letter was written
to one of the two biographers OF the
late Alexander H. Stephens, of Geor.
,ria, who were chosen by himself to
write his life. The gentleman, who
now resides in Chicago, was present
with Mr.. Stephens in his last hours
and knowing how Mr.. Stephens es'
teemed the General. felt sure the re-
gard was reciprocal. His own ac'
lquaintance with General Grant hav-
ing been limited to one interview
across the lines at Vicksblrg, and to
letters, the request to which the fol,
lowing is the reply, was sent by their
mutual friend, General James Long

New YORK, June II. 1868.
( Dear Sir Your letter Of the 18th
of May, inclosed to me by General
Longstreet, in which you ask q few
words from me in regard to my esti-
mate of the late Alexander II. Ste
phens, reached my office during my
absence in the West. Since that
time | have been in my Office but
three or four days, and finding an
accumulation of letters, which | am
not yet through the disposal OF, is
my apology for not answering you at
an earlier day. / never mad the
pleasure of personal acquaintance
with Mr.. Stephens until he, with
Mr.. Hunter and Judge Campbell,
visited my headquarters at City
Point, Va, during the last year OF
the civil war. | had, hoSever,
known him BY reputation for many
years, and placed high estimate
upon his character and ability, as
well as craftsmanship Our person
al acquaintance, though we differed
so widely in matters affecting our
common country, only served to in
crease my admiration for the man.
As ] understood, without being a
man Of large means, he devoted
largely from what he could earn to
- the greatest good of the greatest
number" Through him many a
deserving young man has found the
means of acquiring fine education
to give him a start in the world, and
in most cases, if i am correctly in
formed, he has been compensated
for his generosity by seeing those
who had these favors conferred do
honor to their benefactor.
"In all his public utterances Mr..
Stephens impressed me as a man
who was never afraid to speak his
honest convictions, without regard as
TO whether they would be popular
ly received or not. To the day of
his death | retained the high esti-
mate of his life and character form
ed before / knew him, increased by
a personal acquaintance.
Very truly yours.
