A Dainty Dish

One day last week we read in q New
York paper that Col. Tom Ochiltree
and several other members of the New
York nobility had partaken of a Chi
nese banquet aud that among the
tempting viands was bird snest soup.
The newspaper account of the banquet
stated that the guests were treuted to
bird snest soup. We should prefer
being treated to something else. No
body can persuade us. not even with a
shotgun, that bird snest that has done
duty in raising a brood eff feathered
songsters, and that has been lying out
in the rain for wet season or so. is
the best possible material out of which
to construct nice. palatable soup.
We should infer that the gourmand
who telescoped a plate of bird snest
soup would be obliged to taste the
flavor of the pin feather for a week or
so afterward. If, however, he liked
that kind of taste, perhaps, after all,
that would be no objection.
Chopped up in a feed-cutter and the
taste diguised with bran and potato
parings, it might be palmed off on a
sick COW whose palate was out of order,
so that she couldn't distinguish what
she was eating. But whenever q
smoking bird'snest is brought into the
dining-room, accompanied by all the
unpleasant associations that cluster
around it, we want to 60 right away
and conceal ourselves in the stables or
in the chaparral until the feast of
reason and flow of soup has somewhat
subsidized
1t doesn't make any particular differ
ence whether tue bird snests are
brought from China or Chicago, or
whether the original fowls that con-
structed them were BIRDS of paradise
or sandhill cranes. All we ask is that
when the bird snest soup is brought in,
and we catch the first Whit of the
aromatic fluid we may be allowed to go
off to lodge in some vast wilderness.
where we can be alone with our grief,
while the other guests are gorging
themselves on u high tariff diet. i'm
ported ut al enormous expense.
Persons who are inclined to Judge
harshly may term us peculiar, capri
cious and somewhat sensitive in the mat
ter of last years bird snest. Perhaps
we are, but we do not propose to resort
to any such nourishmenL as long as we
can get ordinary United States food.
Bird'snest soup may be rare deiicacy,
but we don't banker after it.
We have seen bird snest made of
sticks foot and half long, and lined
with pieces of an old buffalo robe. 1t
had been the nursery of nine broods of
young eagles. The idea of boiling
that thing into soup and offering to set
it up for free born American citizens
who pay poll-taxes and vote, is absurd.
There is too much of the MAN in
humanity to man" business about that,
and the ranker the soup the ranker the
injustice. If we had any tickets for
bird snest soup we would cheerfully
give them to the poor. Teas SJtings.

Raising Orang es in York state

Raising Oranges IN York State
Queer and interesting things find
themselves in Fulton market, says The
Buffalo Express. Live sea-turtles and
ocean fish swimming in their own brine
have been seen there. Last Saturday
the curiosities which attracted most at
tent on were three innocent-looking
oranges, nestled in small basket of
moss Apparently their size and beau
ty were what attracted attention, for
each weighed two pounds, and they
were of the Mediterrani an or Valencia
variety. "Fhose oranges grew at &C.
neva, n. Y, on q tree not over four
and a half feet high, said one of the
pretty young market-women to GUS
TONER. They grew in the dollhouse
of Mr.. j. w. King" Mr.. King was
the founder of the King iron-works,
which once fourished in Buffalo, and
his home was then here. He is now
ret red from business and lives in an
ideal home on Geneva lake. He de-
votes nearly his entire time to his flow
ers and his dollhouse. where bananas,
pineapples, and Strawberries grow, as
well as oranges and lemons. He has
a deer paddock and a number of royal
peacocks, and in summer time his home
is tile paradise.

And Such is Fame!

Amusing incidents occur even Oh
such solemn occasions as funerals.
Senator Evarts was one of those pres
ent at the obsequies of Mrs. Aston in
New York last week. He was about
to enter by the center door of the
church when young reporter caught
him BY the sleeve, saying: xviii you
obi &c me with your name. sir?" The
United States senator looked at the re-
porter with glance of surprise and
almost of disgust as he answered.:
William M. Evarts" The reporter.
with "thank you, sir, +" put down the
name and asked 3 bystander what Mr..
Evarts was, TO look at him in that way.

ANNEXATION OF CANADA.

Th" bi.H>frons Attempt 60 Accomplish
~ ffJ Foree-A Famous Etstreat.
The present agitation concerning the
relations between Canada and the Uni
ted States recalls the time when the an
neXatlGn OF that country was proposed
20 lie brought about by force OF arms.
The project was entrusted to the brave
General Montgomery, assisted by the
lannon's PATRIOTS, Colonies Ethan Allan
and Seth Warner. While engaged in
this invasion Ethan Allan was taken
prisoner by the British and sent to
England, where he experienced very
harsh treatment.
1t was Colonel Warner who twice con-
ducted his men safely home, though the
march was constantly surrounded by
dangers. Once Montgomery sent them
home because their time was out, and
though they were willing to continue in
service, they were without sufficient
clothing, and none could be had in that
country.
Colonel Warner had hardly arrived
home before he heard that Montgomery
had been killed, and the cause, as well
rs the lives of the men, were put In
great jeopardy. He collected his men
again and at once started for Canada to
assist his countTymen in their extrem-
ity. But his efforts were of no avail,
and it was soon found necessary to take
up the line of retreat.
1t was the dead of winter, and only
necessity sanctioned moving the troops.
The terror of pursuit and the rigor of
the season furnished sufficient cause for
alarm and haste. Colonel Warner
remained with the rear of the army,
and aided them in many ways most eff
fectually as he was man well
rosted in caring for the sick and
this knowledge now came into excellent
use.
He must keep the army in motion,
not day must be lost, and yet he was
without any chest of medicines. But
he understood the medicinal use OF
roots and herbs, and of proper care at
critical times, and with these allies, he
made an effectual fight against disease
among his men.
When Ticonderoga was reached and
the roll called, thanks to Seth Warner,
but few vacancies in the ranks ap
peared.
Col. Warner saved the lives of hun
dreds of men in this way, and he did
noble work, but it remained for his
namesake, II. III. Warner, head of War
ner's Safe Cure establishment, to give
the same kind of remedies then used to

General Harrison ON the Chinese.


Rev. j. B. Brandt of st. Louis wrote
a letter to General Harrison in Feb
ruary last, inclosing newspaper clip
ping concerning his OIarrison's) posi-
ton on the Chinese question. He re-
ceived the following reply:
Mn Dear Sir Your kind letter of Feb
ruary 90 has been received. / am very
much obliged to you for the kind interest
which you take in my behalf. You knew
me well enough while here to know that
am no schemer for place, and l have not
fallen from grace in that respect since you
left here. did vote with the great body Of
the republicans in the senate against the
Chinese restriction bill, as it was called. 1t
seemed to me then to be in violation of
our treaty with China and it was little
hard for me to let go of the old idea that
this was the free home of all corners. l
think there has been a very general change
of sentiment on that subject since. We do
not need to ask anybody to come to this
country now, as we formerly did, and |
think we have right to preserve our insti-
buttons by exercising fair selection as to
who shall come here. / do not like that
class of immigration that comes in gangs,
that can be driven into pens and on ship
board, and hired, not by personal contract,
but by bosses, and the Chinese immigration
is very much of this sort.

In the Swiss silk which came into our
half-protected country last year in
those seven hundred millions of imports
was the skilled labor of men at al cents

competing with the silk weavers of Pat

The one room for family of father,

wages are in Scotland and how they
drag humanity down into beastiality
and misery.
Brothers, the Mills bill to reduce the
tariff is the first step to that one room
for an American family. Fight it
without delay and fight it to it's death
and then make your tariff so protective
as to shut out cheap foreign labor in
the form of manufactured goods.

"Distinctly for Its Good"

Journalism in Vermont, a state with
out cities, is not subject to the trans
formations which so many of the news
papers of the rest of the country have
suffered. The people of the state still
regard their weekly Montpelier WATCH
MAN very much as they do their Bible.
The WATCHMAN itself, however, is sub
ject to the changes, at least in owner
ship, that all other businesses are SUBJ
ject to; and it has just undergone a
change which will be distinctly for it's
good For some time an excellent
paper, The Rural Vermonter, has been
conducted at Montpelier by Mr.. Arthur
Ropes, who is man of principle and
genuine liberality of views, as well as a
competent journalist. The WATCH
MAN and The Rural Vermonter have
now passed under the same ownership {;
the Vermonter suspends publication, at
least temporarily, and Mr.. Ropes takes
editorial charge of the WATCHMAN.
The Vermonter has been republican in
politics, independent in its expression
and sturdy in its opposition to monopo-
lies, and it has been as refreshing as a
cool breeze in summer from the green
hills where it was published. 1t is suf-
ficient guarantee for the WATCHMAN,
under its new management, that Mr..
Ropes promises that the spirit of the
Verm0nter shall be breathed into it,
