Fish Pie.—The idea should tie dis
carded that fish is only an adjunct to
meat. Fish can very well stand alone
and make a meal. Fish pies, covered
with snct-crust, make a good meal The
fish requires, however, a little bacon put
to it, or a little finely chopped-up beef or
snusAge-meat, say a quarter of a pound,
onions finely chopped, and jiarslcy, with
the flavoring of pepper and salt and a
spoonful of catsup. Well-arranged fish
pies are very relishing. Huet crust is
lighter than lard crust, but the suet must
lie chopped very fine and the crust bo

At a store on Barronne street, just ad
joining (Iruuewold Hall, is a lady's solo
leather Saratoga trunk, of the largest
size, which, although entirely inoffensive
iu itself, and perhaps as negative a com
bination of sole leather, steel spriugsand
linen lining as the average receptacle for
feminine raiment, is nevertheless, by as
sociation, not without its history.
This trunk was made U]>on the order
of a very handsome young woman, who
called nt the store and gave specific
directions as to its interior arrangements.
She appeared to lie in affluent, circum
stances, and diil not object to the price
charged, which was SIOO. The money
was paid and the trunk sent home, its
owner proving to lie Miss Bessie Mi sire,
a young woman of pronounced bounty,
w hose career and method of earning a
liveli hood are not usually adopted by
those of the gentler sex who consider
themselves iu the best society.
It appears that Miss Bessie Moore
found that the trunk was not entirely to
her satisfaction, ami sold it back to the
store at a libera} discount. She subse
quently left the city for Jefferson, Texas,
in company with a miscreant named Al>e
Rothschild, from Cincinnati. He used
ii(i her money, and with placid deviltry
put a pistol to her forehead and blew out
her brains. The laxly lay for two weeks
undiscovered, and wns identified by a
gentleman of this city who happened to
lie in Jefferson at the time.
Hiugularly enough, this gentleman sub
sequently committed suicide. Abe Roths
child was arrested in Cincinnati when in
the act of attempting to commit suicide,
and was sent back to Jefferson, Texas,
for trial, where he now lies iu jail, every
influence being used to delay the trial.
The trunk was sold to a gentleman
who had it thoroughly repaired. Before
this gentleman hail paid for the trunk
he also committed suicide. It is now for
sale, and, of course, is considered a
prize, inasmuch as no fine who lias had
anything to do with it, excepting the
maker, has not lin'd hv violence.—AVu-

It must l>e fun to be a miner in the
Butro Tunnel. The rats and the bats
have it all their own way. The miner
who brings- his lunch basket is not at all
sure that he will eat its contents. If he
leave it for a few minutes the rats cat
lunch and basket and all. Nor is his
chance for dinner much better if instead
of the basket he takes the ordinary tin
kettle. A party of rats will steal a ket
tlo before its owner's eyes and roll it
away dowu into a hole w here no man can
follow them. Then they rip off the lid
and devour the contents at their leisure.
There are millions of those rats, nnd
many of them are larger than kittens
and much more muscular and rapacious.
The hats bother both the miners and the
mules. When one big bat flies against a
miner’s face and another bat equally as
big flies in the face of that miner’s mule
there is a complication of troubles. The
man cannot see which way the mule is
going to kick and the mule, which cannot
see either but goes it blind, kicks at
random and is apt to hit the man where
the bat hit him. The bats are ns large,
as numerous and as powerful as the rats.
For a man to have his dinner stolen by
rats, then to be hit by a bat and kicked
by a mule is a combination of infelicities
calculated to make him wish himself at
work in almost any other field of labor.
A connKsroNDENT writes to the Herald
as follows: “An incident, occurred at

the superstitions existing among the at
taches. It ajqx'ars that; whilo the an
nouncement was being made that a large
photograph of the tragedienne, which
was displayed on Twenty-third street,
hail been destroyed, a costly mirror hang
ing in the manager’s office fell to the
floor with a crash, and was broken in
pieces. Manv now religiously believe
that these accidents were premonitions.
Reference is also made to the curious
fact that the chief attraction for her
•farewell tx*ncfit' given in the same thea
ter in May, 1875, was the balcony scene
of Romeo amt Juliet, with Miss Neilson
as ‘Juliet,’ Miss Mary Wells as the
‘Nurse’ and H. J. Montague as ‘Romeo.’
Not one of these noted players is now

tho girl would tell? He simply took his

If a man goes into the dry goods or gro

It was dinner time in a select board
ing-house when the new boarder arrived.
He was a venerable-looking gentleman,
with silvery hair, and his face beamed
with a sweet repose betokening a pure
and holy life. As lie joined the table the
landlady said: " Would you ask a bless
ing ?" The venerable stranger shouted,
•‘You’ll have to talk louder, marm; I'm
so d—d deaf.

Crons Behaving Like Hunks.
In this part of the oountry heretofore j
tho crow has been associated with corn
fields and not with chickens, but tho re
port now comes from Flushing, Ij. 1 ,
that crows have developed bold ami ra
pacious qualities and make repeated on
slaughts on the henyards of that neigh
borhood. This is a thing never before
heard of in Flushing, and it lias caused
much const* million among tho house
wives whose chickens have been taken.
Mrs. Flanagan early in the season had
350 chickens; now she has.hut 250. Al-|
though she does not think that all of the
missing 100 were carried away by the
crows, yet she lias repeatedly seen crows
take the chickens, mid thinks that many
of them wore lost in that wuv. The crows,
she says, 'use much strategy in their
movements. At times two will visit the
yard together, one mounting guard while
ithe other reconnoitres. If any enemy
appears, the guard gives warning by a
wild screech. Some of tho crows are rc
marknhly bold. They will porch on a
fence close to the house, nodding their
heads in a most unconcerned manner.
Scarecrows are of no avail. Nothing less
than the throwing of some missile suf
fices to (h ive them away.
One woman thought it so novel a sight
to see a crow pick tip a chicken that in
stead of frightening him sway she allowed
him to make off with Ids prize. The
birds are most numerous in the morning
and evening. One man made an attempt
to get rid of some of them by stationing
himself in the yard with a gun. Asa
scarecrow he was a success, but as tokill
ing any of the birds ho could accomplish
nothing.
During this season more crows have been
Been on Long Island than for many years.
The new characteristic which .some of
them seeni to have developed might bo
explained by the fact that they find it
difficult to obtain the usual supply of
corn on account of their own increased
number and the severe ravages of the
army worn during the summer. They
are thus compelled to have recourse to
the small fowl. —New York San.
Is There an Average Young Man ?
Indeed, the classes of men are so im
mensely varied that Ivory much doubt if
there is an average young man to he found.
Why, man ! he is everything. He comes
in as many different patterns as summer
silks do. He is a delicate aesthetic who,
through his very cultivation, may have
acquired deeper capabilities for commit
ting certain social crimes ; lie. is an ordi
nary man of business, faithful to his
wife and accounting himself responsible
for the future of his eons and daughters;
the undisguised blackleg, libertine and
gambler, or ho who hides those vices
under a cloak of extremely moral and
dignified cut ; a social vampire seeking
what women he may destroy with his
breath ; a frequenter of clubs, an irre
sponsible retailor of slanders; a thieving
politician whose life is spent in climbing
through acres of mire and filth in search
of the ollico that he will contaminate ; a
religious fanatic or a free-thinking one;
a manly, good-hearted fellow enough
without any particular end or aim in
view; a Christian gentleman who be
lieves that as his life is on earth, so will
his future be when eternity sets,in—
anil oh, dear, do you think you could
count up half as many uifferent kinds of
woman as that ? Well, I tell you, I
couldn’t. As far as i can see women are
divided into two kinds, the civilized
and the uncivilized. And that word,
civilization, is capable of a dozen mean
ings, and it takes in a dozen differ
ent conditions, too, from (’hri‘tiamty

A Chicago saloon-keeper named Mc-
Mahon, who had retired to bed and
closed ii(> his place, was awakened a i< w
nights ago by burglars boring out the
lock of the door, and ho put his head
out of the window and told them to go
away. That was every word he said,
when the burglars leveled a revolver and
shot him dead. It is getting so in Chi
