Wall, year* went by, and during tli ■
yeara oooka and epic urea and housewives
la all parts of Rpgland were besieged for
recipes to be lerwarded to the address of a
certain lady. The lady’s own flittering
tottere or persuasive speech elicited from
the cooks themselves the Information re
quired, o r enlisted the cooks’ masters and
mistresses on liar aide; and tha result of
her eiortiom, carried on for many years
with equal resoluteness and good temper,

Ur. Mctcall, of Pittsburg, a manufactur

Commitee on Thursday, that the ores of
northern Georgia and Alabama, had tumsd
out equally as raluabla for Iks Afsnufsc-'

hitherto exclusively usel. This is very,'
strong testimony and means a great deal,'
so far as the future of iron manufacture in
the South is Concerned.

want to tell you how the mammas away
up in Lapland keep tbeir habiea from dis
turbing the minister on Sunday.
Poor babies I I suppose It le growing
bad style everywhere to take them out to
church. And I suppose, too, the ministers
era privately at thankful aa they can be.
Hut the Lap mammas don’t stay at home
with their*. The Laps are a very reli
gious people. They go immense distances
te hear tbeir pastors. Every missionary is
sura to have a large audience, and an at
tentive one. He can haar a pin drop—that
is, should be cbooee to drop one bimaelf—
bis congregation wouldn't make aa much
noise ss that upon auy consideration. All
the babies are outside buried in the snow.
Aa soon as the family arrives at tbe little
wooden church, and the reindeer is secured
tbe (taps Lapp shovels a tong little bed In
tbe snow, and mamma Lapp wraps baby
snugly in skins and deposits it therein
Then papa piles the snow around it, and
the dog is left to guard it, while tbe pa
rent* go iecorously into church. Over
twenty or thirty babies lie out there in the
enow around the church, and I have nev
er heard oi one that srffocated or froze—
smoke-dried little creatures, I suppose they
are tough t
But how would our soft, tender, pretty,
pink-and-white babies like it, do yon
think f—Wide Awake.
A certain pompeue Judge fined several
lawyers flO each for contempt of court.
After they bed paid their fines, a steady
going old attorney walked gravely up to
tbe bench, and laid down a $lO bill. What
is that for ? inquired the Judge. For con
tempt, your Honor. Why, I have not flin
ed you lor contempt. I kaow that, aaid
the attorney, but I want you to understand
I cherish a secret contempt ior this court
all the time, and 1m willing te pay for
it.

Tbe California Senate has passed two
bills of an extraordinary nature in regard
to the press. One requires that the signa
tures of writers shall be affixed to articles,
and tbe other that a newspaper shall re
tract any statement proven to be libelous.
A* Senator O'Oonnor truly remarked, no
signature law baa aver been heard of before
ia any State of the American Union, In
England, Ireland or Scotland, or any En
glish-speaking St*:* or nation. The two
enactments am aa absurd aa they arc un
ceostituUooal.

“Tbe last Legislature nnlooeed the taloos

bonds, and threw the burden from tbe
shoulders of our honest, hard working tax
payers." Assuming this to be the case,
what has become ef the fraudulent bonds *
Have they fallen into other talons, or have
they bsen destroyed ? And what burden
was thrown from the shoulders of tbe peo
