The democracy of New York, backed up
by the solid South, intend, if the election is
decided forHayes bya majOrity of one or
two States, to put in a claim of fraud and
dispute it. That this is their purpose is
evident from the expressions that have
been msdeion the streets- and in their news
papers, whenever the returns indicated the
success of the Republican ticket. Desperate
mencan make trouble, but it is difficult to

., ,, _ ‘ BalanvaLLu, Cos’x.,Nov.’76.'
DEAR Gamgam-While Sukey’s wise,

sitting opposite me, blithly llums a tuneful
ditty, I again galls up my pen. The day is
bleak enough and the wind, as it gathers it-
self together on a neighboring hill and de-
scends upon the house with a rush and a
whirl, rattling the blinds and tossing, wildly,
stray feathers and rugged leaves, has a very
depressidg‘eifeot, fer which our brave fire,
and the chrysautbemums, blooming in th
windows under the ivy’s festoons hardly com-
pensate. Sukey says, with dignity, that she
trusts I will not harp upon the Exposition in
this letter, but I iw‘ould'lik‘e to say a few
words more on the subject, else I might feel
called upon ,to write on politics, which I
humbly confess I know very little about,
and, besides, it' does seem rather absurd to
see girls trying to hang on the skirts of either
party, boldly rushing into argument quoting
their fathers and brothers largely, and dis-
playing, their own- ignorance generally. So
when I want to talk or write politics, I shall
study the subject carefully in all its bearings
before _I_ begin. V However, I shall wait
awhile until the study shall be less corrupting,
for, surely, politics now-a-days seems only to
beget envy, hatred, malice and all unchnrita
bleness, to say nothing of darker crimes, and
I congratulate myself that I know as little of
it all as I do. Where ignorance is bliss.

So, if I do not write on politics, what else
but a letter on the Centennial will be read in
these times. To be sure there is the good old
threadbare subject of Thanksgiving, which
will interestus all in good earnest shortly,
but I fear my pen exhausted that in my com-
position days. After this long preamble I, at
least, bring my mind and pen to bear upon a
brief mention of the elegant and tasteful fur-
niture displayed in the English department of
the exposition. One could not help contrast-
ing it with a gaudy set from New York,'up-
bolstered in blue and brown satin. The col-
ors were ugly and the shapes unwieldy; the
sofa, in particular, was a bloated monster.
Sukey mildly fears that I do not show my
usual modesty jil. writing so strongly, that
many people willili'ot‘ be of my opinion, and
that I am netipa'triOtic in preferring an Eng-
lish sofa, or cabinet,to one made in America.
But, indeed, the English furniture, at the
Centennial, surpassed that of all the other de-
partments, to my mind: To be sure there
were many curious and beautiful pieces, (es-
- pecially screens and cabinets) in the exhibits
Of” China and Japan, and, now .and then, in
the .Other departments, one came upon a
- graceful piece, but the furniture of England
_-;ls,o_kgd so-cosey, so home-like, and, withal,
sqelegant,,that one could never tire with gaz'
:ing upon it. How could we do otherwise
;t§:a’lr;c0me home dissatisfied with our taste in
’gfujl‘niture heretofore, and with a conviction
that one must study the different styles of
furniture and decoration if one would'have'a
tasteful house. In thinking over the A draw-
ing-rooms, libraries, etc., we know we find
that-only one or two are furnished in really
V-hlfldlic taste. There were also in the English
department a number of beautiful mantles,
isn'd' grates with dainty frameworks of tiles,
the latter are so incxpensive,and add so much
to the beauty of a room, that I wonder all
people, who rejoice in the comfort and cheer
of hearths and fireplace, do not decorate
them with fascinating, painted tiles. We in-
Our hearth
is broad and deep, thank heaven, and we
'would part with anything in the house sooner
than the comfort we derive from it. Damp,

rainy evenings in summer there is nothing
like a bit of a fire, which does not heat the

room, but dries the dampness and cheers the
sight. Through the fall, and in the spring,
on lonely nights what'can be more altogether
lovely~than a softly-glOwing bed of coals,
with the'light chasing the shadows of a twi-
light room. Ah, how many nights do I recall
when my dog Fritz and I have grown pensive
foster the fire, ‘

“When each flick’ring, dying ember
Wrought its ghost upon the floor,”

; ,‘In'iust not forgerto speak of the fee-simi—
,les' of English armor at the Exposition. To
me there is a wonderful fascination about an
iold English weapon, or a bit of ancient ar-
mor, and, consequently, the fac-similes,
which were very beautiful, proved intensely
interesting. What a. history of the ‘ in-
dustry and progress of nations was the pot-
tery and porcelain at the Centennial. The
study of ceramics is interesting in a hundred
ways. It is connected with many great names
in history. Many a crowneddlead and many
a famous artist was interested in this art, and
‘what wonder that the world of fashion raves
'over a bit of costly faience I think a lovely
piece of china is beautiful and appropriate on
a mantle or side-board, but I do not admire it
suspended from the walls of a room. A pas
sion for porcelain and china seems to be as
much the rage now as it was in the days of
Lady Mary Montague, when Pope satirized
the expensive folly.

Not the least‘interesting part of the Cen-
tennial were the crowds cf people, some of
whom were irresistibly comical. Sukey and
I, much to the latter’s disgust, were question
ed continually. One old gentleman asked

numberless personal questions beside. Some
friends of ours had quantities of amusing
._c_oufabs with curious people in street cars.
One western gentlemen, after asking an indi:
vidual of the party her name, wanted to

terrified friend was rescued by the police.

and plaid shawl) standing before the superb

Hoping I have not exhausted your patience,
I will close the letter and the subject, saying,
in conclusion, that the Centennial was to
Sukey and me a liberal education. Crxrur.

. Rather Serious Gas.

A very pretty miss of about seventeen
went toa Dr. R—to have a troublesome
tooth'extracted, and after dreading it awhile,
at length resolved to take a dose of laughing
gas to take the sharp edge off. A lady friend
accompanied her, and was quite anxious to

charming and vivacious companion. She
did not have to wait long, for no sooner had
the influence began to manifest itself, than
she threw her plump, dimpled arms aroulld
the neck of the susceptible dentist, exclaim-
ingas she visited his lips with her own:
“Oh, you dear darling duck of a man, you
are good enough to eat !"

Of course she knew nothing about the
laugh which followed, or the confusion on
the part of the dentist, any more than she
knew what she had done. But the doctor
was somewhat flattered, and used the most
skillful manipulations in extracting the teeth
that could offend so sweet a month]

In reality, the job was finished sooner than
he wished.

When she recovered from its cfiect her
friend asked her how she liked it, and she
proclaimed the effect delightful, and even
asked the dentist if he would not give it- to
her again. '

“Yes," said be, “if you will go through

the same performance you went through just
now.”

She was then'iilformcd by her companion
what she had done, and colorin up slightly,
and casting rather a dubious loo at the den.
tist she said :

“Never mind. I guess I won't have any

The Agricultural Experiment
Stations of Europe.

The character, the successand the useful-
ness of Agricultural Experiment Stations in
Europe are but littleunderstood by farmers
in this country. A late report of .the Shef-
field Scicntific School at New Haven, con-
tains an article by Prof. Johnson on this sub.
ject, which we wish every farmer in Con-
necticut might read. All intelligent farmers
'are to a greater or less extent experimenters,
but comparatively few have the time, means
or scientific requirements needed for the
most accurate work in this direction. In
Europe men specially trained for the purpose
are employed to do just this work in Experi-
ment Stations. These consist of chemical
laboratories generally connected with stables,
fields, gardens or greenhouses. Here are
made experiments on the relative values of
different kinds of fodder and methods of
feeding-stock, of the action of fertilizing
materials on different crops, experiments on
soils, fertilizers, fodder, materials, &c.

One important function of the Experiment
Stations is the examination of fertilizers and
establishment of fertilizer control system.

The first Experiment Station in Europe
was founded in Saxony in 1852, by farmers,
and an agricultural society. The number
has since increased till at present there are
over eighty stations in active and successful
operation in Europe, and their number is
rapidly increasing from year to your. The
majority of them have been instituted by
farmers or agricultural societies with the aid
of government appropriations for the pay-
ment of expenses. Thé direct benefit accru-
ing to agriculture, from these stations is in-
calculablc. The surest possible evidence of
their value is found in the fact that they are
emphatically farmers' institutions, that they
have been founded by farmers, from whom
they receive enthusiastic and increasing sup-
port. There is a vast need of Agricultural
Experiment Stations in this country. The
first and only one in the country is that at
Middletown which has been in successful
operation for a year, and of whose useful
labors the farmers of the State have already
been made aware. '

 

A Tramp.

“They tumbled fifteen of us out of a box-
car about two miles from here, and we
trumped it in,” said a lithe-looking, compact-
ly built, red-headed man who was lounging
about the elevator near the Union depot
yesterday morning. The tails of his coat
stopped at the waist, he had no vest, and a
red-flannel shirt gleamed through a rent in
his outer vestmcnt that once was white, but
that had been converted by hard times into-a
di brown. His pants were as much too
i or him as his cost was too short, and
there Was a brazen, shiny look about his
wardrobe that spoke loudly of an intimate
acquaintance with the oil and tar of empty
honours. But’ the voice came out in familiar
accents, through all ~tllat cloud of dirt and
misery, and an intent look at him discovered
Frank Gardiner, a man who has lived a life of
adventurous extravagant as any ever pic-
tured by the most reckless yellow-covered
romancist. - Commonplacc as the name is, it
describes aman who has a score of times
balanced himself upon the scales of fate
when the slightest adverse tremor meant
death to him. When the writer last saw

'him he was a nabob on California street, San

Francisco. He had a clear title to 100,000
good gold dollars, and he ate expensive din-
ners at the “Poodle Dog 1” Yesterday he
scrubbed a bar-room and a kitchen, and car-
ried off the refuse of a tenementehouse tak-
ing a stale" loaf of rye bread for a reward,
upon which he feasted ravenously.

Gardner’s life has been a nightmare. With
fortune’s chances he has shot into aflluence
with the speed and giddiness of a. rocket,
and with the same chances he has fallen, as
precipitately as the stick of the discharged
fire-ball. At sixteen he was matriculated at
Oxford, and in his freshman year in a boyish
fight he threw his adversary so as to dislocate
his neck. The unfortunate youth was of
noble family, and Gardner was transported
for life. Within theZfirst year of his confine-
ment at New Zealand he escaped to the bush,
where he was joined by a number of his
miserable companions, and for years the
band was a terror to the settlements. A
price was put upon his head, and his com-
panions were offered a free pardon to deliver
him up to the authorities. He escaped to
Melbourne, where he was apprehended, and
again escaping, he a second time took to the
bush. In Australia the shepherds were
friendly to him, and one of them one day
brought him the first intelligence be had
received from home in over fifteen years. It
was a notification of his pardon, and in
August,1873, he left the colonies a free man
and celebrated his Christmas in San Fran-
cisco.

For a while his luck seenied to change in
this country. Though in the colonies he had
various times, been possessed of a fortune,
he held it in constant fear of apprehension,
and being careless of what became of it, his
vicissitudes were often fearfully sudden. He
brought money with him to the coast, and in
the stock excitement of 1874 he made large
profits. With his gains he purchased a small
ranche in San Joaquin vally, and there he
lived quietly until the Bonanza ehcitement
of the fall of last year. In that speculation
be identified himself with the Ralston or
Bank of California party, and he was carried
with them into the river. He tried mining
in Virginia City for a while, but $4 1i day,
corned fifteen hundred feet under ground,
did not suit him, and he struck out for the
East. He could not go back to San Fran-
cisco, where he never suffered poverty, and
he did not have money enough to go any-
where else, so be resolved to take a two-tie
pass; in other words, to beat his way along
the line of the Central and Union Pacific
railroads. While he was in that portion of
the State of Nevada near Virginia he was
well treated by the conductors and brakemeu
of the freight trains, but after that time he
began to appreciate the difficulties of the
task he had undertaken. At a watering
place, a station beyond where he had parted
from the last friendly conductor, he’ laid in
wait for the next eastern freight, and acting
upon the advice of the railroad man, he

crawled upon the platform, resting his back
against the hot crown sheet of the boiler.

In this way he rode overs. whole division,
about 125 miles, and what his sensations
were, sitting on the face of the rushing loco-
motive as it plunged through the darkness at
fifteen or twenty miles an hour, can be more
easily imagined than described. At the end
of the division he was discovered, and forced
to loaf around until the next train passed.
When this train arrived at the station several
empty box-cars were invitingly open and
Gardner felt that his luck had not yet deser-
ted him. He climbed into one stealthily,and
when the train moved off and he was not
disturbed, he fairly hugged himself for joy,
and disposed himself comfortably for a sleep.
His happiness was not of long duration. In
the midst of a happy dream two sturdy
brakemen awoke him and asked him what he
had. He replied nothing, and they proposed
that he should trade costs with one of them
and ride to the end of the division. His
coat was comparatively new and had been
costly. The brakeman's coat was in rags.
Bllt he traded, and at the next station the
whole force of the train was mustered, and
he was put off the train and left thirty miles
from a settlement, in the midst of an alkali
desert, with a white section boss and six
Chinamen for companions. This was a fair
sample of his experience from that time
forth, and when Gardner arrived in Omaha
his garments were as picturesque as Joseph’s
coat, and, as he said with grim humor, they
have stuck to him yet.

He traveled from Chicago to Pittsburgh
just as he traveled from Nevada to Chicago,

and when the writer saw him his spirits were
as high as when he was a power on Califor-
nia street. Plans for the future 2 He had
none. His sole aim was to reach New York.
And them—then, he said, “if nothing turns
up I shall take the first vessel, and go before
the must to Australia, where I have friends

her life. Del Valle says that at their ac-
quaintance she was not injured but walked
home and met him the next day by appoint-
ment opposite Stewart’s on Broadway,-aud
recs-Mid a ring that day and that her conduct
throughout was certainly not that of bashful
innocence. The mania said not to be rich
himself, but as trustee for his children ad-
ministers a large property left by their
mother. Altogether the case is attracting a
great deal of vulgar interest, though pools
have not yet began selling on the result.

A young man in Cincinnati, who had his
vote challenged on election day on account
of disputed residence, was told that there
would be no trouble if he was a married
man. He acted upon the suggestion at
once, and before sunset he had got married
and had voted. The country is safe as long
as the young men will make such sacrifices.

“I've got another, my dear,” said Mr. Dor-
kins as he hurried into the house. “If you
were on the top of Trinity church spire on
the back of a oose, how would you get
down ?" Mrs. orkins thought she (1 jump
down, slide down the lightning rod, fly down

pick it off the goose," sai Mr. Dorkins ex-
ultingly.

Rhymes For the Kitchen.

 

Always have lobster sauce with salmon,
And put mini sauce your roasted lamb on.

Veal cutlets drip in eggs and bread crumb,
Fry till you see a brownish red come.

Grate Gruyere cheese on maccaronij;
Make the top crisp, but not too bony.

In dressing salad mind this law,
With two hard yolks use one that’s raw.

In venison gravy,currant jelly,
Mix with old port—see Francatelli.

Roast veal with rich stock gravey serve;
And pickled mushrooms, too, observe.

Roast pork, sans apple sauce, past doubt,
is Hamlet with the Prince left out.

Your mutton chops with paper cover,
And make them amber brown all over.

Broil lightly your beefsteak-to fry it
Argues contempt of Christal' "a diet.

Kidneys a fine flavor gain,
By stcwing them in good champagne.

Buy stall-fed pigeons; when you’ve got them,
The way to cook them is to pot them.

Wood grouse are‘dry when grumps have
marred ’em—
Before you roast ’em always lard ’em.

To roast spring chickens is to spoil ’em—
Just split ’cm down the back and broil ’em.

It gives true epicures the vapers
To see boiled mutton minus capers.

Boiled turkey, gourmands know, of course,
Is exquisite with celery sauce.

The cook deserves a hearty cufiiug,
Who serves roast fowls with tasteless stufilng

Smells require eggs and biscuit powder—
Don't put fat pork in your clam chowder.

Egg sauce—few make it right, alas !
Is good with bluefisll or with bass.

N ice oystex’saucc gives zest to cod——
A fisll, when fresh, to feast a god.

Shad, stuffed and baked, is most delicious;
'Twould have electrified Apicius. .

\
Roasted in paste, a haunch of mutton
ii .I make ascetics play the glutton.

 
 

of One might rhyme for weeks this way.
And still have lots of things to say.

And so I’ll close, for reader mind,
This is about the hour I dine.

 

 

“Mary Had a Little Lamb.”
[mun WILLIAM stomps]

Gunhild of Bathstend,—-daughtcr of Gudann‘,
King Eric’s Bonder, of the upland farm—
Numbered ten summers since the hawthorn
spray .
Made white the church-yard on her christ’n-
ing day.
What time an eight days, infant to the font
They bore her, as was ancient use and wont
Among Norse-folk, whoever used to say
Ill-hops as gossips waited on delay.
Now lithesome, gleeful, fair was she and tall,
Able to range alone, and loving all ,
Innocent pastimes. Most she counted dear,
A snow-white lamb,which followed her anear.

So to the little lowly cot, where came

Unto the tendance of an outland dame

The many children of the neighbor farms,

Blithe-voiced, light-footed, bearing on their
arms

Their satchels filled.
fared,

While after her, cropping the green,unscared

At sound of voice. with recognizing blcats,

Followed the lamb. Then to the oakcn seats,

Greeting, as in she went, the Domino.

With these Gunllilda

Short time endured the lamb such loneliness

Waiting without, and presently 'gan press

His forehead ’gainst tllc unlutchcd door, and
then

Pushed with impatient foot,and pushed again,

And ere the earliest tasks were duly said,

Thrust in a head and neck engarlanded.

Then with uncertain, patter-ing steps, began

To tread the floor, at seeing which, there ran

A half-hushed titter on from lip to lip

Of all the rosy, fresh-hued scholarship;

And shy-faced little ones pccpcd up and
caught

Glee from their elders’ eyes and looks dis-
fraught.

But when one lloof uplift the lamb and laid

Upon the dance-stool, as if he essayed

Thercon to mount and show his lack of wit.

Yet knew not rightly how to compass it,

Then bubbled up the laughter unrestrained,

And e’en the Domino. no longer feigned

The formal sternness which beseemed her rule,

Seeing such unused presence in her school.

Yet bade she put him forth, and bar the door
Securely, till at noon the tasks were o’er.

So did the school resume its drowsy head,

Of numbers droned, and syllables y-rcd.

Bilt when the hot noon called them out of

door,

Cropping the daises was the lamb once more,

Who, with brisk bounds, to his door mistress

cam'e,

Much marveled then to see the beast so tame

The rest, and questioned the Domino,

“ why loveth so the lambkin Gunhilda ?”

Whercat the dame, seeking amoral nigh,

Made answer to the eager children's cry:

“ Gunllid dotll love the lamb. you know, and

hence '

You still may bind in loving confidence

Each gentle animal, if it hilt find

Unto its gentleness that you are kind.

And in such ways is given the device

To win once more the Earthy Paradise.”
