Living In Italy.

One great advantage of living in
Italy lies in the fact that there is far
less work in the kitchen on account
of charcoal being used instead of
coal. These fires brighten up in a
moment, causing neither dust nor
smoke, and as they are lighted Just
when they are required for cooking
and then allowed to go out this ar
rangement obviates the necessity of
keeping up roaring fire all day
long. Three francs week is suffi-
Gent to spend on charcoal The
dustman comes every day to remove
the refuse, and it is customary
to give him 2 or 8 pence at the
end of the week. It is golden rule
when housekeeping in Italy to keep
as few servants as possible; other
wise gossip instead of work is the or
der of the day, and as their voices
are all pitched in a high key the
noise is considerable. With regard
to washing, it is generally sent out
unless a number of servants are
kept. The ironing, however, is al
ways done in the house Pittsburg

Suffering by Telephone.

Guilty In making himself understood
in ordinary conversation, owing to
some popularity in his speech, had
occasion to can up a friend by tele-
phone. His acquaintance also had
an impeachment in his speech. When
the first question was asked, the one
who received it did not know what
was said any more than he knew
what his gas bill for the next month
would be. He called for a repetition.
The inquirer thought this an answer
to his question, so he also asked the
man to try again. They kept on for
fully 20 minutes, firing the same re-
quest backward and forward, neither
understanding the other. Finally

The greater part of the desert of
Sahara is, it has been ascertained,
from 5000 to 5000 feet above the
level of the ocean. The desert is not
rainless, but showers cover it with
grass for a few weeks every year,
large flocks and herds being main
tanned upon its borders, and the
GASES are depressions in which water
can be collected and stored. 1t was

Soap.

A writer maintains that we cannot
be too careful in the selection of the
soap we use for toilet purposes; that
the modern really fine toilet soaps
are actually beneficial to the skin, as
they cleanse and do not injure it.
Probably there is considerable truth
in this. Certainly such soaps are
much more agreeable than the cheap
scented toilet soaps for which the
makers do not get high enough
price to afford really good article.
Any soap that leaves the skin hot
and dry after washing is not good
thing to use if one has any regard for
the skin. Homeopathic Envoy.

A LIMITED GARRISON.
But the General Found 1t on Duty and
Ready For Action.

But the General Found 1t on Duty and
Ready For Action.
In 1868, while was day in Ports
mouth, n. H., it was given out that
General Wool was to visit Fort Con
stitution, in Portsmouth harbor, and
[ resolved to make an item of it by
going to New Castle and making a
note for my newspaper of the de-
lenses there and witnessing the gen.
erals reception by the garrison,
writes B. P. Shillaber in The New
England Magazine. Instead of the
formidable garrison l had expected,
found the fort held by an old ord
nance sergeant of the Seminole war,
who still retained his rank Sergeant
Davidson = supported by his wife.
He was the perfect embodiment of
soldierly spirit grave, erect, tact
turn-every motion governed appar-
emily by the rules of war, turning on
his heel as if he were the guidon of
platoon.
He received me soldierly, with con
siderable military dignity. and in
formed me of General Wool's expect
ed arrival to visit the fort, whom he
was to receive. A salute being es-
sential questioned him regarding
his ability to give it, but he assured
me that it was all provided for.
There was but one small bow who
seemed available as assistant, and /
marveled greatly how the sergeant
would operate to bestow the accus-
toned honor.
The general and his staff arrived
in carriages about noon, and as soon
as they neared the fort "bangI' went
the first gun from the battery, then
another and another in quick success
sion, and getting in a good position
for observation discovered the gar
rison of one man and a boy spring
ing from one cannon to another, the
sergeant touching the piece off, the
boy following to cover up the vent
with a piece of lead.
Twenty men could not have per-
formed the duty with more precision
and rapidity, The guns had all been
loaded and primed for the occasion.
With the sound of the last gun tie
sergeant was ready to receive his dis
tinguished guest by presenting arms
at the entrance.
Where is the garrison?" inquired
the general.
Here, SIR" was the reply.
Where are the men who fired the
salute:"
Here, sir, indicating himself and
boy.
| The general laughed and made the
old sergeant happy by complimenting
his performance.

The Peacock at the Feast.

Brehm informs us that the flesh of
the young peacock is very delicate
and has "a wild odor" which is very
agreeable. He thinks an old bird fit
only for stewing. The Greeks must
have found it marvellous costly feed
ing if it be true, as Rlian says, that
single bird was worth a thousand
drachmas-nearly 960 The esteem
IN which it was held in the last DAYS
Of the Roman republic did not dimin-
lsh under the imperial regime.
Vitellius and Heliogabalus served
up to to their boon companions enor-
nous dishes of peacocks' tongues and
brains, seasoned with the rarest In
dian spices. In medieval days it was
still held in favor, particularly as a
Christmas dish, and Ministries sang
Of it as food for lovers and meat for
lords"
To fit it for the table was no ordi-
nary culinary operation. After the
skin and plumage had been carefully
stripped off the bird was roasted,
then served up again in it's feathers,
with gilded beak. No, l have forgot
ten that it was first stuffed with
spices and sweet herbs and- basted
with yolk of egg. It foated in a sea
Of gravy, as many as three fat
wethers sometimes supplying the

OLD LETTERS.

Last night some yellow letters fell
From out scrip found by chance.
Among them was the silent ghost
The spirit of my frs, romance,
And in faint blue envelope
A withered rose long lost to dew
Bore witness TO the dRshing days
When love was large and wits were few.
Yet, standing there all worn and gray,
The teardrops quivered in my eyes,
To think OF youths unsaaken front,
The forehead lifted to the skies.
How rough a hill my eager feet
Flung backward when upon its crest
saw the fiutter of the lace
The wind awoke on Helen's breast!
How thornless were the roses then.
When fresh young eyes and lips were
kind,
When Cupid in our porches proved
How true the tale that love is blind
But red and white and poverty
Would only mate while shone the May
Then came q bag of golden crowns
And jingled red and white away
Grown old and niggard of romance,
vince not much at aught askew,
And often ask my favorite cat
What else had red and white to dor
And here's the bud that rose and sank
A crimson island on her breast
Why should burn it? Once again
Hide, rose, and dream. God send me rest

The Office of Register is n that re-
quires a man of quick, active, business
capabilities one whose penmanship
and general business qualifications are
such as will warrant the records of the
office being kept in a neat, handsome.
business like manner, one who will
give the Office his personal and prompt
attention, ever ready to perform his
duties as an officer CT, for and by the
people. And now, after justly o n
sidering the claims and qualifications
of the different aspirants for this Office,
we find that Mr.. Galloway is the most
deserving and efficient candidate. He
is a young man of rare business quail
fications, is self made, from the fact,
he came from poor though honorable
parentage, working hard during boy
hood days to obtain a good educa'
ton that he might fight the battles
of life in an intelligent and honorable
way. He is a staunch Republican ever
ready to make any legitimate sacrifice
for the good of the party and his fell
low man. And now, he asks recogni-
ton at the hands of this party to nom
mate him for an office which he is in
every way, qualified to fill. And the
time has come that the loyal, sober
business young men should be justly
recognized in the division of our
country spoils. And we hope that each
and every Republican will rally to the
polls on the Gath inst. and cast a a vote
for j. NJ. Galloway for Register and he
will make an officer of which we shall
be Justly proud. JUSTICE.
