How HIacaroni was Named.

Macaroni is favorite dish with many
people, and its manufacture an important
industry in many Italian and French cities.
1t is a wheaton paste, prepared in the form
Of hollow tubes Of different diameters, and is
served at dinners in various styles for entrees
or desserts. It is said to have had its birth
and christening in Sicily in this way: Once
upon a time wealthy noble Of Palermo
owned a cock not only accomplished beyond
compare in the practice of his profession,
but gifted by nature with an inventive
genius. One day, in rapture Of culinary
composition, this great artist devised the
farinaceous tubes which all love SO well, and
the succuleht accessories of rich sauce and
grated parn,esan, familiar to those who have
partaken OF ''macaroni alsogon in South
Italy. Having filed mighty china bowl
with this delicious compound, he set it be-
fore his lord "a gourmand Of the first water
and stood by, in deferential attitude, to
watch the effect Of his experiment.
The first routhful elected the ejaculation
"Caril" automatically equivalent to ''excel-
lent" in English, from the illusEious epicura
After swallowing second modicum he ex-
claimed ma cari,n or, Excellent indeed. I"
Presently, as the flavor Of tho toothsome
mess grew upon him, his enthusiasm rose to
even higher flights, and he cried out, in .
voice tremulous with joyful emotion, ssMa,
caroni!- Indeed, most supremely, sublimsly,
superlatively excellentl' In paying this
verbal tribute to the merits Of his cooks dis
coyery he unwittingly bestowed name upon
that admirable preparatio which has stuck
TO II ever since. Golden Argosy.

Agents of the oystermen find them wander
ing around the docks, without money and
searching for work. They ply them with
liquor, and the next time they wake up they
find themselves locked in the foul, vermin
possessed hold Of all oyster dredger, with
the swash of the Chesapeake against the sides
of the vessel in their ears. When the vessel
has gone out on the bay beyond the hand of
the law the captain OF the vessel usually
gives the captured men kicking and club
bing, in order to show them what they may
expect in the future When the oyster beds
are reached the men are compelled to work
from sixteen TO twenty hours aday. II they
show sny signs of weakness or exhaustion
they are clubbed by the captain. Some Of
the men are clad in their summer clothes,
all they have, and the spray dashes over
them and freezes the clothes. They are half
starved. They are obliged to sleep on hard
planks down in the hold, with the rats and
vermin, without blankets, and the horrible
smell of decayed oysters in their nostrils.
When the boat goes near the shore the men
are locked in the hold to prevent any al.
tempt at escape And when they have gone
through all this agony for months. they are
marooned; that is, they are placed on some
wild part Of the Maryland coast to save
themselves as best they may. Some manage
to crawl to town or village. and escape
with frozen limbs. Many perish. Cases are
not unknown where men, who havs become
too i'll to work at the dredges. have been
thrown overheard and drowned .iys dogs.

The wealth Of the Queen.

There was rumor afoat in London to the
effect that an increased allowance would be
asked for on behalf Of the Prince of Wales and
his family during the autumn session. If it
proves true, the proposal will undoubtedly
receive several black eyes. Economists
argue that there is no call for this additional
expense. The queen has an annuity drawn
from the consolidated fund of $1,925, 900,
which is especially allotted to meet those ex-
penses connected with her high position, the
partial weight of which has been transferred
to the heir apparent But that is only por-
tion Of the enormous income which good for
tune and frugal habits have placed at the dis
posal of the head of the royal family. The
new Domesday book discloses the fact that
the queens private estates extend over ST.
872 acres, the annual rental, even at the
lately deprecated prices, being $13O,655
Some year,. ago her majesty, acting under
the advice of Lord Sydney, purchased the
Claremont estate for the sum Of $39O, 700. e.
tinlated at the time as being little over hall
it's market value. It is said to be worth
today at least $75OO 600.
The queen also possesses property at Co
burg and the Villa Hohenlohe at Baden. AZ
to personal property, there was the bequest
Of quarter of million left to her majesty
by Sir James Camden Neild This will was
proved in 1852, and the bequest must now
have reached magnificent proportions Then
there was the property left by the prince
consort, estimated to have reached nearly
S, 900, 900, hut as this will was never proved
and SO escaped probate duty, the exact
amount is not known. These items are over
and above the queens annual savings. The
aggregate money sum at her majssty's dis
posal for family purposes would hence ap-
pear to be, at the lowest computation, such
as renders unnecessary national solicitude on
the subject The Prince Of Wales will
hardly get the new allowance under those
circumstances Cor. New York

Federal Hospitals in 1864.

I am back again in Washington, on my
regular daily and nightly rounds. Of course
there are many specialties. Dotting ward
here and there are always cases Of poor
fellows, long suffering under obstinate
wounds, or weak and disheartened from
typhoid fever, or the like; marked cases,
needing special and sympathetic nourish-
ment. These sit down and either talk to
or silently cheer them up. They always like
it hugely land so do y, Each case has its pe-
culiarities, and needs some new adaptation.
I have learnt to thus conform-learnt a
good deal of hospital wisdom. Some Of the
poor young chaps, away from home for the
first time in their lives, hunger and thirst for
affection; this is sometimes the only thing
that will reach their condition The men
like to have pencil and something to write
in. I have given them cheap pocket diaries.
and almanacs for 1864, interleaved with blank
paper.
For reading generally have some old pic
torial magazines or story papers-they are
always acceptable. Also the morning or
evening papers of the day The best books
do not give, but lend to read through the
wards, and then take them to Others and SO
on; they are very punctual about returning
the books In these wards, or on the field, as
I thus continue to go round, I have come to
adapt myself to each emergency, after it's
kind or call, however trivial, however SOL
emn, every one justified and made real under
its circumstances; not only visits and cheer
ing talk and little gifts, not only washing
and dressing wounds Il have some cases where
the patient is unwilling any one should do

pounding them, prayer at the bedside, ex-
plantations Of doctrine, etc. 4 think / see
my friends smiling at this confession, but I
was never more in earnest in my life.) In

reading or giving recitatlons to the men.
They were very fond of it, and liked declam-

"AuNr MARTHA" GRAYsoN.
An Incident Connected with One of Eggle-

An Incident Connected with One of Eggle-
stOns Characters-A Hearty Greeting.
It seems to me fitting to the story Of ''The
Graysons" TO publish a little incident con-
nected with "Aunt Martha" that came under
my personal observation. The Incl lent Of
which speak occurred when Lincoln and
Douglas we're making their famous tour Of
Illinois, and were to speak at Hayanna, Mason
county, Ills.
About O'Clock on the day previous there
came to the house of the friend with whom
was stopping an old lady, who had walked !
do not know how many miles to see sdear old
Abe" She wore calico sun bonnet and
clean dark calico dress of rather scant pro-
portions and was toilworn and withered, but
withal had such kindly face that one forgot
her homely attire and backwoods manners.
She talked incessantly of MI. Lincoln, al
ways calling him "Old Abe" and was so
eager and trembling in her desire to see him
that could not help wondering what possible
interest she could have in him, or he in her.
learned that Lincoln, years before, had
saved the life of her son, who was accused Of
murder, and no scrap of evidence seemed
possible to save him from the gallows Here,
then, was the mother Of the young man
whose story had SO often heard.
The next morning the old lady was up
long before the rest of us, nervously roaming
about, and scarcely able to control her agita-
tion. II am going to be the first to greet
'Old Abe when he leaves the boat" she said
over and over again; "and I want to tell him
how glad am that he has become so
great"
She did not wait for the steam whistle to
herald his coming. With trembling fingers
she tied the strings of her sun bonnet under
her chin, lighted her pipe-rm sure I'm not
mistaken in this-and hurried nervously
away, saying as she left, 81 must be the first
to take him by the hand" And sure enough
she was The whistle blew, the crowd
surged down to the landing, but the old lady
was already there. No sooner was the plank
thrown out than 'tAunt Martha" stepped
upon it, and was indeed the first to meet and
greet "Old Abe"
She came back to the house shortly after,
her face radiant with Joy, the tears still
coursing down her withered cheeks, and cried
out between intervals of hysterical sobs: ssI've
seen him-he was not ashamed of me-he
took my old hand and wrung it with will,
saying, 'Howdy, Aunt Marthae How are ali
the folksa I'm right glad to see you.' Mrs.

which he considers detrimental to his inter-

every possible way.
The owners of the big boats want to dredge
In the richer beds Of the inlets and rivers, and
that is exactly what they are doing and what
has caused all the trouble. The owners Of
the big boats, for the most part, are men who
carry on an oyster business in Baltimore.
Some of them own many Of these oyster
boats. and as they are quite well aware that
the dredging part Of their business is unlaw-
full, and that in order to carry it on the mas
ters Of their boats have got to do fighting,
and have little compunction or milk Of hu-
man kindness, they employ as captains soma
Of the most arrant rufflans and rascals to be
found on the Atlantic coast.
It is we'll known that there are few honest
oyster boat captaina Honest men would not
answer the purpose of the vessel owners, and
the captains that own their own vessels are
unspeakably cruel and mercileM t

the laughing stock Of oystermen and

In the service, there has been a too plentiful
supply Of commanders whose efficiency was
more marked in political primaries than
aboard ship Aside from this, what could be
done with fifteen paltry third rate boats,
even if they were perfectly commanded and

dreds of oystermen with fast sailing crafts,

with the waters of Chesapeake bay as New

In favor Of the oystermen- until ssthe

the case.
But the men who work on these boats2 Do
they voluntarily offer their services on these
boats for the wintera Are they we'll paid2
How are they treateda
They do not always deliberately enlist in
the oyster service. They are often kidnapped.
Most Of them are not paid at all; those that
are, wretchedly. And they are treated with
an abominable cruelty compared with which
the treatment Of the victims of the Inquisi-
tion or of the French revolution was mercy
itself.
OF course the poor wretches are Of a very
low order of society, but they can feel stripes
and blows. Many Of them are immigrants,
ignorant of the English language, whose pit
iful protestations and prayers for mercy
have no more effect upon the hard hearts of
their torturers than if they were dumb.
They are usually secured, or, as it is called in
Maryland, "shanghaied," in Baltimore.

Medill is in a position to bring con siderable pressure to bear on the convention. The idea of tariff re- form he represents will be more pow erful still. Low tax republican par ty men are in a small minority at present. but the fear that there are many Republicans in the west who cannot be controlled by mere parti- sanship gives the Medl faction weight.
