"a Slat Sob* ©raters.”
There is a weird story of an oyster-eater
, I which still floats around the wharves at
Baltimore, where oyster l oats do congre
gate. One morning, ’twas years ago the
sloop Martha Mary came from some oyster
bed on the Chesapeake, laden gunnel deep
with prime oysters, alid was moored safely
alongside of a Baltimore wharf. The skip
per, pleased with the prospects of the
voyage, lounged on the wharf, awaiting a
customer.
There come to this captain a lean, lank,
and sallow.faeod man, who said, with a
cavernous voice. “I would eat some oys
ters."
‘•Plenty on board, there! ’ was the bluff
reply.
“But I would pay for what I eat, inter
posed the stranger.
‘‘All right, go aboard; eat your till for a
quarter," cheerily replied the skipper, for
in those early times oysters were worth
not more than fifteen cents a bushel.
“Willingly,’’ said the thin man, produc
ing with alacrity the old Spanish quarter
with the pillars on it, the coin of that time,
aid drawing a large, rusty oyster knife
rom liis pocket. Then the thiu man open-
id tho 1 latch of the little vessel and
lived below.
The captain went to liis breakfast. The
neal over, he returned to his sloop. Be
] ow ho heard tho measured clink of an
oyster knife. He thought little about it.
only said, “He has a good appetite.'
Oysters were not rapid of sale that day, as
two more oyster smacks had come in, and
purchasers were slack. “Makes no mat
ter, saiil the captain; “the weather is cold,
them oysters is sound, and they will keep
in prime order for a week.,’
That captain went to dinner. Again he
paced his little vessel’* deck, and still lie
heard the monotonous, incessant “click,”
click,’’ from l>elow, working away with
mechanical regularity. Anxiously, then,
that captain strode along, and was full of
foar. As the sun set, still the click of the
oyster knife was hoard. In terror the
captain fled from his smack. Next mor
ning early, as ha approached the wharf,
still his affrighted ear hoard the click. He
could stand it no longer. Rushing be
low, scattering aside whole heaps of empty
shells, he found the lean, lank, and cada
verous man still op suing awayjat the very
bottom of the vessel.
“They are good,” said the cadaverous
man, svallowing with artistic flirt a sing
ularly largo oyster, “but scarce as salt as I
like ’em,- ef Ihadha.lacracker,orjust adash
of vinegar, mebbo I might have ongyed
’em more. See here, Oapting it’s just a
case of knife with mo. This ‘ere oyster
knife,” and ho hold up the attenuated blade
worn now to the size of a ponknife, “was-
n t good steel, or I might have had my fill,
and saying this ho slowly and deliberately
climbed up the hatchway, and still lank
and loan disappeared in tho distance.

is now a raving
stall or any other name you please ” Here
he warmed up and went on vindicating
tho salary increase, saying $7,500 per
anuma was not an unreasonable amount
to enable a Senator to receive his friends
and have decent apartments, and in this
his points fell strongly upon the Senate.
He closed by vehemently insisting that if
any part of the compensation was to be
disgorged at all it should all be disgorged
and to this end offered an amendment
which seemed to bo lightly regarded by
the legal minds and was finally snuffed
out by a reminder from Conkling that,
there being already two amendments to
the original bill, a third could not be enter
tained. But tho grand and stricking
feature of tho day’s debate now camo on
in the appearance of tho quaint and jo
cund Senator Flanagan from Texas, who
.as he arose to speak, when the Senate
thought the debate was ended on tho sal
ary question, gravely called for a glass of
water, and throv#ng his white handker
chief imposingly* on his desk, squared
limself grandly for tho work before him,
liis two watch chains strikingly displayed,
and eclipsed only by a quality of finger
rings which are worn by no other Senator.
He good-naturedly yet humorously de
fended tho salary increase. Tho Senate
did not relish the plain, homespun argu
ments of Flanagan, who pronounced “liar'
for there and “war” for were, but tho
climax was capped when he triumphantly
drew a roll of greenbacks from his pocket
which he slapped down before him saying
that there was tho back pay he had voted
for and ho was ready to fight for it, too,
now if necessary. This raised a nest of
hornets, and before tho flush of excite
ment was over Conkling, Carpenter and
Edmonds started into tho stinging war
fare, and a prettier piece of diversified
statesmanship and characteristics has not
beenjoften seen than now occurred between
these athletes in tho forensic arena. Car
penter with Western dash said that if they
wanted to get back the increased salary
he had received it was no affair of his but
a matter between tho United States and
his creditors. Conkling, in his clear style
as a jurist, and Edmunds, kind and
dignified in his sincere and polished way,
closed the debate amid the pleased mani
festations of their colleagues.
The Age of Fowls.
The following will give our readers
who are interested an idea of tho way to
judge the age of fowls:—
If a hen’s spur is hard, and the scales
on the legs rough, she is old, whether you
see her head or not; but her head will
eorroborateyour observation. If tho under
bill is so stiff that you cannot bend it
down, and tho comb thick and rough, leave
her, no matter how fat and plump, for
some one loss particular. A young hen
has only the rmlimonts of spurs, the scales
on tho legs are smooth, glossy, and fresh
colored, whatever the color may bo; the
claws tender and short, the nails sharp,
the under bill soft, and tho comb thin and
smooth.
An old turkey has rough scales on the
legs, callosites on tho soles of the feet,
and long, strong claws; a young ono tho
reverse of those marks. When the feath
ers are on tho old turkey-cock has a long
tuft or beard, a young one but a sprout
ing one; and when they are off, the smooth
scales on the leg decide the point, besides
tho difference in size of the wattles of neck
and in the elastic shoot upon the nose.
An old goose when alive is know by
the rough legs the strength of tho wings,
particularly at tho pinions, the thickness
mil strength of tho bill, and the fineness
d the feathers; and when plucked by the
egs, tho tenderness of the skin under
' ho wings, by the pinions and bill, and the
coarseness of the skin.
Ducks are distinguished by the same
means, but there is this difference that
- duckling's bill is much longer in prop-
ction to the breadth of its head than the
old duck’s.
A young pigeon is discovered by its
pale color, smooth scales, tender, collap
bed feet, and the yellow, long down
interspersed among its feathers. A pigeon
that can fly has always red-colored legs
and no down, and is then too old for use.
A father in consoling his daughter
who had lost her husband, said: “I

I hav saw dogs akt just azsensibel. I
havsawa rattarrier watch the simp-
ton.s ov a knot-hole in a board-fence

and no rat didnt cum forth.
One rainy Sunday a number of
strangers crowded into Surrey Chapel
for shelter, whereupon the eccentric
Rowland Hill said: “Some people are
blamed for making religion a cloak;
but I don’t think those are much bet
ter who make it an umbrella.”
“What are you drawing, Anna ?”
“I’se making your picture.” So the
gentleman sat very still and she
worked away very earnestly for a
while. Then she stopped, compared
her work with tiie original, and shook
her little head. “I don’t like it much,”
she said. “’Tain’t a great deal likeyou,
I dess I’ll put a tail to it and call it a
log.”
Cresian, The Roman Farmer.—An in
dustrious Roman named Cresian,who liv
ed at a more libcr.u rate and had better
crops than liis neighbors who resided on
the same soil, was accused by the poorer
class of having enchanted his grounds for
said they, it is impossible that he should
have a more plentiful harvest than wo
that sow tho same seed and employ the
same ground, and yet live in the most
extreme poverty.
Cresian made but short defence for him
self and then introduced his daughter, an
able-bodied girl inurod to labor; he also
produced his carts, plows, oxen, and
utensils of husbandry, saying: “Here
noble Judges, are all the magical arts and
enchantments used by Cresian, and if my
neighbors and accusers would take the
same care ond pains in employing these
creatures and implements, thatmy daugh
ter and I do they might have the same
increase and live as well but they must
not expect that idleness and sloth will
procure them happiness or riches.”
