Whit for Dinner ?
Of the small annoyances of the household,
there is none more worrying than the ever-
recurring question, 44 What shall we have
for dinner ? ” The scope of the edible ani
mal and vegetable kingdom is, indeed, not
bo restricted, bat the ordinary knowl
edge and inventive faculties of oar house
keepers and cooks are so limited that amidst
all the abundance of Nature's supply of food
they have rarely art and ingenuity enough to
contrive and prepare a fresh dinner for each
day in the week. Beef, veal and mntton suc
ceed mutton, veal and beef week after week,
until the palled appetite cries enough, and
demands, with the accent of exhaustion,
“What shall we have for dinner ?” To an
swer this question satisfactorily should be
regarded by every wife or housekeeper as one
of the essential duties of her position.
We here protest against the habitual X
SHUTTING OF THE DINNER QUESTION
by the wife—to whom it properly belongs to
consider thoroughly and settle judicially—to
the husband, who ought to have nothing
more to do with it than enjoy the result and
pay the cost Who$ can be more preposter
ous than to ask a man replete with beef steak,
eggs and buckwheat cakes, the question,
“What shall we have lor dinner?” What,
moreover, can be more impertinent than the
intrusion of the prospective beef and podding
npon the eager man of hardware or dry goods,
whose imagination, with the first puff of his
cigar, has already floated 44 down town” in
advance of his own hasty foot steps, and has
called up visions of the day’s competition for
falling pig-iron or rising huckback.
The provisioning of the household aod al
contingent preparations are essentially, in a 1
private family, the woman’s duty, and she
has no right to shirk it The various pleas
by which she ordinarily ahiits to the already
overburdened man of business a large part
of her own especial work we are not disposed
to admit. Our American women among the
prosperous classes have already
LITTLE ENOUGH TO DO
Without calling npon their fathers and hus
bands to help them to do that little. It is
qoite evident that going to market, the gro
cery, and huckster’s stand, testing the succu
lence of tender loins, experimenting on the
taste and odorousness of batter, and inspect
ing the convolutions of a cabbage, are, or
should be, functions of the wife, and not of
the husband. The indolence of our fine wo
men, or thoir false sense of the decorous,
causes them, however, frequently to delegate
these appropriate duties of their own to
the man, to whom they are in every
respect unbecoming. As a mere matter of
economy, we would advise the wile not to
trust to the husband the daily negotiations
with butcher, grocer and huckster. He be
ing presumed to be unacquainted with the
art of preparations in all its complications,
can hardly be supposed to be capable of
judging of the varied adaptabilities of tbe
raw A material. He does, undoubtedly, from his
forced experience, learn to distinguish the
high in price, and may thus generally secure
by his liberal payments a fair quality of tbe
kind he bnys; hot
KNOWING NOTHING OF THE PROCESS
of cookery, he cannot venture to purchase
anything, the excellence of which is not guar
anteed by its expensiveness. The skilled and
thrifty cook will take the parings and leavings
and concoct them into a more appetizing and
nutritious repast than is possible with the less
manageable and more costly mass for which
the ignorant buyer has paid so heavily. We
dare not presume, however, upon the kitchen
knowledge of our wives. We have as yet
much to hope for from them in regard to the
improvement of our food, appetite aud di
gestion. If, however, we cannot boldly pro
nounce skill in cookery to be an attribute of
our women, we have no hesitation in insist
ing that it should be; noT need they all make
scnilioos of themselves in the course of its
acquisition.
We do not doubt that much of the preva
lent complaint of the expensiveness of tbe
household is justly to be referred to the un
satisfactory solution of the question, “What
for dinner Y*
TO SOLVE IT PROPERLY,
and not only economy, but health aud com
fort, demand that it should be so solved, re
quires a knowledge of the essential qualities
of edible products and a skilled experience in
preparing them for food. Here is a scope wide
enough lor tbe unoccupied faculties of our
women, who are stretching out their hands,
vainly demanding to be lilted to other
spheres of duty, while they have within
reach a neglected vocation which yields
to cone in utility, and, when properly ful
filled, to few in dignity. Science has a natu
ral relation with this question of food, and
even the strongest-minded woman might find
in the study of the chemistry of the subject
full exercise for her most vigorous faculties.
The feeblest, moreover, might greatly increase
her usefulness by devoting herself to the ob
vious and easily acquired practical parts.
With no doubt about its pertinency to tbe
health end happiness of all, we call upon the
women of the household everywhere diligent
ly to study the subject, that they may be able
to give a satisfactory answer to the question,

TRUTH ABOUT THE VIENNA FAIR —EXHORBITANT
CHARGES FOR FANCY DRINKS—DELUDED
BARTENDERS PENNILESS IN A FOREIGN
Correspondence of tbe Boston Saturday Evening
Express.
In regard to the Exposition we have not
much to say; one word expresses all—Ham-
bog. We give such information not accessi
ble to the American newspaper correspond
ents. Take, for.instance, the American bar
swindle. Boehm A Wheil, the proprietors, are
German Jews from New York. Mr. Boehm
himself says that he paid Mr. Van Buren
$10,000 for the exclusive right for an Ameri
can bar and restaurant. At present they
have three bars—the Pavilion, opposite the
American department and near an entrance;
another in the rotunda, called the American
Buffet; and still another near Strauss’baud,
called the American Wigwam.
The firm of B. A W. induced twenty-five
gentlemen to go over to act as barkeepers,
each and every one paying his own passage,
they being in charge of one Israel Boehm.
On board the steamer they fared well of
course, beiog in the second cabin. On reach
ing terra firms he acted his nature aod Jew
characteristic out, nearly starving the boys—
at one place even refusing to supply meals.
He himself went to a hotel and got square
meals, aod only on being lorced to it did he
furnish tlie necessary food to the men.
Up to July 9th they had not received their
salary nor even the $100 due on their arrival
for passage mooey, and they are now waiting
for remittances from their friends in America
to bring them home.
The principal drink they sell is a sherry
cobbler. It is made from manufactured ice,
white as snow, with the following ingedients,
Kashgar and Khiva.
The Berlin correspondent of the London
Daily News, writing under date of August 8,
says: “It appears that the Kashgar Em
bassy is makiug quite a sensation at St.
Petersburg; but the press, though it has dis
cussed the subject with mutual freedom, has
not yet settled the degree of importance to
be attached to it. Some time ago the Rnski
Mir announced that the Embassy had brought
an autograph letter from the Khan of the
Czar, and was charged with the negotiation
of a commercial treaty alone. Until recent
ly this restricted view of the objects to the
mission was generally accepted in Russia.
But a few days since the Boersenzeitung
published an article in which it was positively
asserted that the Khan or Kashgar had sent
the embassy to form a political alliance with
the Czar, with a view to the ultimate incorpo
ration of the Khanate into Russian territory.
In support of this theory, that journal cited
the fact that Kashgar had been trying for a
gcod many years to do something of tbe sort.
Up to the time ot the Khivan campaign the
Khan had been on ill terms with the Rus
sians, and he had sent four different deputa
tions to Calcutta for the purpose of making
friends of England. The result of Gen. Kauf
man’s campaign, it is added, convinced him
that the seat of sovereignty in Central Asia
hod been transferred from England to Russia,
and hence his efforts to conciliate the author
ities at St. Petersburg.
A correspondent of the National Zeitung
seems to accept this enlarged theory of tbe
mission, but will not admit that it is a result
of the capture of Khiva. The Embassy, he
says, has been eight months on the way, aud
its departure so long ago could hardly have
had any reference to tbe Khiva Expedition.
This is, of course, a sufficient answer, so far
as it goes; but, ou the other hand, it may be
nrged that the Embassadors themselves have
viz: Tumbler of fine ice, teaspoonful of auR*'. seen lit to enlarge tbe scope of their opera-
tablespoonful of filthy sherry, manufacture* tions. The instructions of a barbarian prince

They also inveigled about fiftyour col ; of th? K han ttre more likely to date
from the mission of Baron Kaulbar, who was
sent to Kasbgar in 1872, and was very warmly
and frankly received. In acknowledgment of
this mission the Khan sent a deputation to
Taschkend to wait on Gen. Kautmann. The
ored brethren in this magnificent swindle, and
I must say that with the Vienna fair sex they
were the principle objects of interest, in fact,
quite favorites. Business slacking up a little,
£hey discharged two of the aforesaid favor

home with. I took them to the American

served in the United States Navy with me, he
said he could do nothing for them—that it
was none of his business. We then ventured
to ask him what his business was, and he
answered that it was beyond our comprehen
sion; and judging from the fact that Useless
8. G. seut him, we came to the conclusion
that it was far beyond onr comprehension or
that of anybody else.
We next went to John Jay, our Minister,
ana asked him if be could not send the boys
home. He answered, “No, not if they were
starving.” Don’t suppose he would help
them even to the extent of a kreutzer out of
his own pocket. Of course he needs all the
Government fuuds for himself, even if his
daughter did marry one of the cheap nobili
ty. Come to think the mattei over, I am not
surprised. As a general thing there is a good
deal more title than the needful, which would
justify a noble representative of a noble
nation allowing its subjects in a foreign
country to starve for the sake of a tew dollars
to help support the necessary style befitting
the aforesaid noble, etc.
We next called upon the President of the
Wheeler and Wilson Sewing Machine Compa
ny, and stated the case. He immediately
started a subscription, heading the list with a
good sum: Jewett A Tracy, 25 florins; the
Commissioner from Lowell, whom we found
to be a perfect gentleman—we have forgotten
his name—20 florins; a Mr. Kelley, 10 florins;
Mr. Norton, 10 florins; Mr.Dowling 10 florins;
and several of other gentlemen whose names
I cannot remember now. The firm of Boehm
A Wheil, not a red nor their salary.
At last accounts they had obtained enough
to come home by steerage. By the way, one
of the men lives in Brooklyn, N. Y., and is
worth about $12,000.
In Van Buren we expected to find a per
fect gentleman, but are sorry to say that we
were sadly disappointed. Position is every
thing, and I rather think V. B. thinks so, as
since he has fallen his drinks are mixed with
the poorest liquors; he patronizes B. A W.,
who show their natural instinct in their treat
ment of him, although he had an interest in
the Rotunda, the same consisting of what he
wished to drink—in other words, free rum.
We are disgusted; if we think we are tired
and wish to sit down, it costs fifty krentzer
for a cane-seat chair, twenty-five for a wooden
chair, and ten for a settee, and every time
you ask a “gevus” where a street is, five
kreutzer. J. 8. M.

The Tichborne Case.
The proceeding* Is the Tichborne cue on
Aajrnet 11, seem* to have been particularly
lively. The Deily Telegraph report aays: "A
neceeearily dry summary esn give no notion
of the torrent of inveotire which Dr. Keneely
poared forth. Utterly regardless of the pres
ence of the Bench, he addressed himself to
the jury, and at Mr. Bawker, who sat un
moved below him; he made no attempt to
conceal hie meaning; he openly admitted
that conspiracy and perjury were the logical
effect of his eharges; aud once again,
referring to . Lord Bellow’s . private
life, be begged the jury to declare
that the man who bad basely sedncod bis
friend's wile was no worthy to be believed np
on bis oath- A storm was evidently impend
ing. In , few mum tee it burst. A reference
to Chalillun—who seems to have been JUoger
Ticbborse’s paidagoqux rather than strictly
bu tutor—as ‘ a valet, ' drew trow the Lord
Chief Justice the indignant remonstrance,
• That is a most improper remark.' ■ I say it
is s proper remark, said Dr. Xenealy.’ 'Isay
it is net, air.' 'With aU^ubmisaion to your
Lordship, 1 say it is. I do not wish for a dis
cussion with your Lordship.' ■ Nor will I
have a discussion with you,’ was the retort; ‘I
have bad enough of them.' * It was a proper
remark,' persisted Dr. Xenealy; 'it was my
duty to make it.' ‘It is your duty,’severely
interposed Ur. Justice Hellor, ‘to
follow those roles which guide a gentleman
in the performance of his doty.' 'I know
a gentleman's conduct as well as you, my
Lord,' cried Dr. Xenealy, swinging round
toward Mr. Juslioe Uellor; ‘I beg you will
not repeat that observation.’ ‘I repeat it,’
said Mr. Justice Mellor. ‘You shall not re
peat it to me, my Lord,' called out Dr. Ken-
ealy. ‘I will not allow you, sir,’ interrupted
the Lord Chief Justice, ‘to addiess a member
of the Bench in that tone.’ 'If a member of
the Bench,’ cried Dr. Kenealy, ‘forgets his
duty he must be properly rebuked.’ To the
surpriso of all in court, the Lord Chief Jus
tice, instead of ordering Dr. Kenealy’s com
mittal, repeated, ‘Y'ou shall not speak to the
Bench in that way, sir;’ and, as if he were
actually trying to drive his Lordship to com
mit him. Dr. Kenealy again retorted that his
remarks were ‘called for.' ’I say you shall
not eddress them to mo, sir,’ was the reply.
|I address than to you, gentlemen of tho
jury,’ said the learned counsel, turning round
toward the ‘sheep ptu;’ and so ended this
extraordinary altercation.”
Lynch Law in Arizona.
A special dispatch to tbe San Frnnciscg
Bulletin, from San Diego, gives the followino
account of the lynching of four men in
Tucson, Arizona; “On midnight of Wednes
day Vicente Hernandez, otherwise known as
‘Piedras Negras,’ pawnbroker, and his wife,
were murdered by having their skulls crushed
in with a club and jugular veins cut with a
knife. During the day $900 reward was sub
scribed by the citizens. Six men were arrest
ed on suspicion. The citizens believing them
to be criminals, proceeded to extort a con
fession. The principal murderer, a Mexican
named Leonardo Cordova, confessed, fully
exposing his associates, one of whom
subsequently confessed. The three were
compelled to disclose the hiding-place
of the plunder. Next morning a settled de
termination was expressed to hang the mur
derers of Hernandez and wife, and also bang
John Willis, who killed Robert Swope at San
ford, in November, 1879, and indicted there
for in March, 1872. Tbe trial was postponed
till May, when he was found guilty of mur
der in tti- first degree, and ordered to be
hung. The case was appealed to the Su
preme Court. The arrangements were com
pleted n*xt morning. Two post*, forked at
the lop, were planted in tbe ground near the
jail door, and upon them was placed a stiff
pole about twelve feet in length. To this
-pole four ropes were fastened, with nooses to
each, and two wagons were drawn beneath.
The Catholic priest, desiring to give consola
tion to the doomed men, was given tbe time
desired. The lour men, John Willis, Leon
ardo Cordova,’ Clement* Lopez, Jesus Saqua-
rfpa, were brought out; of jail with bandages
over their eyes, put in the wagons, the ropes
adjusted to their necks, wagons drawn out
and all four hung side by aide. A coronea’s
inquest was held, and a verdict rendered that
John Willia, Leonardo Cordova, Clemente
Lopez, and Jesus baquaripa were hung by
the people of Tucson en masse, in view of
the terrible crimes and murders committed,
and the tardiness of justice—the inevitable
result of allowing criminals to escape the
penalties oi their crimes. ”
A Baltimobe Episode.—The Baltimore
American tells the following little story; “An
incident occurred iu this city on Saturday
evening, iu the vicinity of the post-office,
which forcibly illustrates the danger of form
ing conclusions without proper investigation.
A German woman, residing iu East Baltimore,
had written a letter to her husband, and, ac
companied by her two children, had started
out to find the post-office. Not being familiar
with tbe locality, they turned into Exchange
Place instead of Second street, which brougfit
them to tbe rear entrance to the post-office. A
colored boy was standing in the passage way
between the post-office and Ballard's saloon,
and seeing him, the woman told her daughter,
a girl about fourteen years of age to take the
letter and ask him if that was the post-
office. She ran up the steps, spoke to him,
and instantly both of them disappeared
iu the dark pussage. This was about 7;4o p.
m. It waa quite dark, and rain was falling.
The mother waited outside a few minutes, but
the child did not return. She became alarm
ed, and told her fears to some gentlemen who
happened to be passing at the time. Iu a
few minutes a orowd had gathered, and every
body was of the opinion that a horrible out
rage had been committed. Policemen went
into the passage way, explored all the laby-
rinthian branches that lead from it, as well
as all tbe rooms iu the house through which
it runs, but found nobody. The crowd be
came excited, and if the police had caught a
colored boy in the passage-way or in the house,
he might have been lynched on the spot. The
distressed mother, accompanied byaSergeaut
of Police, went home and found her child. The
mystery was soon solved. The girl had asked
the colored boy about the post-office, and he
told her to pass through the alley to S cond
street, and went along with her to show her
where to drop the letter. When she came
out of tbe office Bhe found that she was iu a
strange street, aud not being able to find her
mother she went home. Fortunately tor the
colored boy, instead of returning to the pas
sage-way, he Btrolled off in some other direc
tion, and missed the indignant crowd that
had tried and condemned him ou first im
pression."

She was the head of an amiable aud inter
esting family. She was a member of a large
aud respectable Christian church, aod in good
standing in that church. The son, on ac
count ot whose supposed complicity in Mr.
Lincoln's assassination she was alone sus
pected of having a criminal knowledge of
that deed of Bhame, has been since acquitted.
This female was tried ; was never regularly
defended; her eminent counsel, for reasons
satisfactory to binuelf, had withdrawn from
the case, after entering bis formal protest
against her trial. She was convicted. The
court earnestly recommended the poor wretch
to the mercy of an American President.
Every President from Washington to Grant,
inclusive, would have pardoned bet, I am
sure, without tbe least hesitation. She was
not pardoned. The doors of the White
House were deliberately closed to all applica
tions for clemency. The beautiful and inno
cent daughter of the unhappy victim
allowed evm to enter the portals of the Ex
ecutive Ma sion in order to kneel before the
more than Brutus-like President oi a free
i, while she should plead, with uplifted
aud <lown»Bireaming eyes, for
mother's life. A rumor being prevalent
that a habeas corpus was about to
be applied for in behalf of this forlorn and
friendless woman, an order was issued from
tbe seat of the Executive clemency to tbe of
ficers haring the alleged culprit iu eharge,
directing him peremptorily tbat should such
a writ be served on him to disobey its injonc
tions.
The scene of horror now soon occurred, and

nameahle aggravation.
