About Oysters.
AZFBENOIIMAN OBITIOlSIS BOTH OUROYSTER
OPENERS AND OYSTER EATERS.’
“Among all the hundreds of persons who
opens oysters in this city, there is not one
who opens them ‘on the European plan’"
said an exasperated Frenchman to a Sun re-
porter. “I have lived in your country twcn«
ty-six years, and during all that time I have
seen only one oyster opener who knew his
business. That man was at the famous old
Maison Dorec, iii 14th street. (Here the
Frenchman heaved a sigh. j Martinez, poor
fellow, had to advertise for weeks before he
got him, apd I’m not sure but that at last the
oystcrvopcner had to be imported. There is
a correct way for doing almost everything,
and generally the correct way is the easiest,
as in this matter of openingoysters. This
way to open an oyster so as to save all the
liquor, which, to connoisseurs, is a valuable
part, is‘ not to smash it and murder, it, as
most of our young oyster :opcners do, nor to
‘stab’ it, as they do in Boston, Baltimore,
Washington and other places. And then
your oyster openers always lay out the oys-
ter on the flat or convex shell, so that by the
time your plate of ‘raw on the half shell'
comes to you what little juice that was not
spilled in the slaughtering has all run away.
The living oyster opens and closes its shells
at will by means of a tough little membrane
or ‘hinge,’ about a quarter or a third of an
inch in length. This hinge is at the small
or narrow end of the oyster. It follows that
all that is needed to be done to separate the
two shells, whether "the oyster is alive or
dead, is to sever this little hinge. It is in-
visible when the shells are closed, but those
who understand the business (and any one
can learn it in five minutes) know exactly
where and how to find it. '
‘fI have showed this little trick to scores
of oyster openers, but because it is a little
difficult at first they go on with their maul
ing and stabbing. "Now when Martinex had
finully secured this French pyster opener
who knew his business, he set him at work
at the side of the’man who opened after the
barbarous fashion still in vogue in this coun-
try; What was the result? Why, be open-
ed two oysters while the other man was
opening one, and every oyster that he opened
was laid out on the deep shell without a
drop of' the liquor. being lost. It is one of
the? greatest pleasures in the world to eat
oyspers opened in that way. But you
Americans alwaymgo; in for appearances.
An'd when'I ask an oyster opener why he
doesn’t give me my oysters on the deep shell
even if he must open them in the wrong
way, he always says he presents them on the
flat or convex shell because they look better
so ? ' ‘ '
' f‘Then there‘s another shameful outrage
upon us lovers of the oyster. I mean the
exorbitant price we have to, pay for them
Now, nothing less than half a dozen . of oys-l
ters on the half shell will satisfy me. So
you see at twenty cents'a plate—half adozen
to the plate—it costs me sixty cents every
time I eat oysters. The original cost of
these eighteen oysters would be about ten or
twelue'cents. It is really too bad that oys-
ters cannot be obtained cheaper in this
country, so that the poor and especially the
sick, might get more of them, for I consider
them about the best article of diet that we
can get. An oyster is the only thing that I
know of that can be received with impunity
into a collapsed stomach too feeble to secrete
the digestive fluids. I’llysiologists_have dis-
covered the singular faet that the oyster
contains these fluids in itself, so that when
eaten they digest themselves. I have eaten
oysters with a keen relish when the mere
sight or even the thought of any other kind
of food would make’ me sick.” ~

A New Treatment for Diphtheria
New York Times.
In many places diphtheria still prevails to
an alarming extent, and has been so malig-
nant the past winter as to bathe the skill of
the best physicians. There are, of course,
various modes of treatment, some of them
directly ,opposed to one another; but all of
them have repeatedly failed. Any method
which seems reasonable or plausible is worth
trying, and what purports to be anew dis-
covery appears tobe deserving of consider-
ation. A .young man in the west, whose
arm had been amputated, was recently at-
tacked with the disease before the Iimb was
healed. To the surprise of his physician,
the matter incident to diphtheria appeared
on the arm where it had been severed, in
place 'of depositing itself as usual in the
throat, and the case proved to be a very mild
one. The doctor profited by this strengin-
timation from nature, to whom many of his
profession pay very little heed, and when
next called to visit a diphtherctic patient,
blistered hisxchest. There most of the de-
posits showed themselves, and the patient
speedily recovered. Hence it is inferred
that the disorder generally affects the throat
on account of the thinness of its lining, and
not because it is any part of its morbid law
to do so. When the blister breaks the ep--
idermis, the tenderness of that portion of
the body draws ,the- virus in the system
thither, instead of to the throat, as ordinari-
ly. This may prove to be of vast advantage
to the medical‘fratcrnity. If it should, it
would be only one of many instances in
which what we call accident has reyeuled
more than any amount of science.

New Iron Pier at Concy’f's‘féii'dzi '
' A SURPRISE.
H
Brooklyn Eagle, April 51h.
It would seem from what can be gathered
in relation to the matter, that there will be a
keen rivaling between the new Iron Steam-
boat Company and the other steamboat own-
ers for the passenger traffic during the com-
ing summer, between New Yorkand Brook-
lyn, and Coney Island and Rockaway.
Yesterday afternoon the principal stock.
holders of the rew Iron Steaznlnxil, and
Concy Island Iron Pier Col‘rlparly met at illi}
offices of Scott & Purcell, No. 2‘3 Broad St.
New York, and, in addition to other busi—
ness, passed a resolution that. none-but iron
stealnboats should be allowud to land at the
Concy Island iron pier. After the meeting
adjourned it was learned that Mr. R. Cornell
White and Mr. Rufus Hatch had resigned
their positions in the abovcsnamed compa-
inics, and the rumor gained credence that
these two gentlemen had sold out their entire
interest in the twin corporations.
" To—day an EAGLE reporter saw Mr. Cor-
nell White, who made substantially the fol
lowing statement: '
Mr. White said it was a great mistake to
think that his action in resigning yesterday
was caused by the passage of the resolution
excluding any but iron steamboat: from
landing at the pier at Coney Island. On the
contrary, although he had only submitted
his resignation yesterday, he had written it
READY son Pnnsxurivrrou
at any moment on last November 17, and
had prepared it at that time, because he
plainly said that it was the intent to raise the
fare by boat between New York, Brooklyn
and Coney Island to much more than it ought
to be. He had taken time by the forclcclr,
and finally himself and others had formed
a company to build a new iron pier, and a
week ago the land and all the privileges were
bought and paid for.
be located about 1,200 feet east of the preli-
ent iron pier, was to be 1,200 feet in length-—
much longer than the old one—and‘would be
in every way a more pretentious and better
structure. While he could not give the
the details, and it would be, perhaps, prema-
ture to say who were concernedzlin the new
movement, he could say that the capital
stock of the company was $250,000, all of
which had been paid in; that the plans
were being perfected and work be begun
at once. He desired it to be stated that he
had not been frozen out of the Iron Steam—
boat and Iron Pier Company, hilt he and his
friends had taken the first action. The pier
was, of course, to be constructed of iron, and
would be an improvement on all the old
methods in pier building. The St. Ann’s
style of ornamentation would be abandoned;
the roof would be more overhanging, so as
to better protect visitors from the sun or
rain, and greater conveniences would be
given for landing and taking on passengers.
In fact, the steamboat men ,liad had to fix
the other pier before they could use it to
advantage, so little did the projectors know
of the necessities of the traffic. He would
actas manager of the Iieamboat portion of
the pier only,and the beat arrangements were
being made to carry passengers to and from
Coney Island and Rocksway. The pier
would be constructed a little to the can of
Culvcr’s railroad, and
warm) as noon Loxose
than the present one, the view from which
would be cut. off on one side entirely by the
new pier. His action had been provoked by
that of the Iron Pier Company last year.
Two years ago he had been able to land pai-
Iengers at Concy Island, going to and coming
from Rockaway, but last year, although he
and his passengers were willing to pay for
the iron pier priveliges, they had not been
allowed to die it. He claimed that the new
movement was in the interest of the people.
The fares of course had been decided upon
by the parties in the new arrangement, but
his own idea was what it had always been, 'to
put dewn the fare as low as possible, as his
experience had taught him low rates always
paid carriers better than high and exclusive
fares. His boats he claimed would be even
safer than the iron shells now being construct-
ed for the traffic. His steamers were fire
proof and absolutely could not sink even
were they to be knocked full of holes.
When asked whether Mr. A. D. Culver
was in the new arrangement- Mr. White did
not desire to answer, but finally said he
might be.
When interrogated in relation to Mr. Ru-
fus Hatch’s connection with the movement.
Mr. White said Mr. Hatch was certainly in
' svurarnv WITH IT,
and had yesterday sold out his entire interest,
Steamboat Company. In fact,Mr. Hatch had
been the father of that company, but he
presumed like (himself had become dissatis-
fied with his partners in the enterprise, who
consisted of two or three yacht owners and
alfew brokers, who thought they could not
7be taught anything pertaining to the steam-
boat business. He, Mr. White, sold out his
interest in the twin corporations yesterday
but declined to tell what amount he was in-
terested in them. In concluding, Mr. White
desired to have it known that he was against .
anything like a monopoly of the Island and
Rockaway travel, and that he believed the
people would appreciate his efforts, as they

Dead After Forty-Seven Days.
Iowa CITY, April 11.—Miss Hattie Deucll
has succeeded in cohimitting suicide by star-
vation. She died at 12:45 this afternoon.
Her final decline began on Saturday, and
from that time she has not had strength to
write her wishes. By signs she indicated
chat she did not wish to see any more
strangers and that she was only anxious to
die. Last night she had a high fever, but by
merning it had abated and she lay quiet until
the hour of dissolution. At noon she com-
pleted her forty seventh day of her fast. It
is said her last “square” meal was eaten on
Washington’s birthday. ' -

How the General Assembly was
Adjourned.
Hartford Courant.
There was a story going the rounds last
night that the manner of adjourning the
general assembly yesterday was not exactly
as reported in the papers. This account had
it that after the five houses had met in joint
convention, the governor arose and looking
around inquired, “Is Mr. G——— present?”
Some person-responded, “No, but Mr. F—
in here." The governor then inquired, “Mr.
F—~, have you any more companies that
you desire to have incorporated f" Mr. F—
replicd, "There are no more ready at pres-
ent." Thercupon the governor turned to
, Mr. Searls and said, “Mr. Secretary, let the
general assembly be adjourned.”

The failures in Connecticut during the
first three months of this year are reported
to number forty-two, with actual assets ,—,of
$80,540 and liabilities of $228,460.
The fact that the Connecticut legisla-
ture has adjourned just as the shed have
struck the river leads the New York Herald
to exclailn: “How lonely the poor fishes
will be? ,
Ari Arkansas girl refused to marry her
lover unless he ‘ would perform some heroic
action. And he went and staked half his
property on two pairs. That’s the Arkansas
idea of heroism. .
Err-Secretary Sherman says: “I heartily
approve of the plan for refunding as an—
nounced by Secretary Windom, believing it
to be the very best thing. to be done under
the circumstances.
One of the two new bridges over the Har-
lem river, by which it may be possible for
the New York, New Haven and Hartford
road. to obtain independent access to New
York, has been completed.
Some of the newspapers are discussing the
question, “Can a minister marry himself ?"
Suppose he could, which he can’t, he would
be u blooming idiot to do it when there are
so many pretty women to be had for-tho
asking.
V'I'he Rev. Dr. Stuart Robinson of Ken-
tucky, says: “'I‘llc_grcat American Sunday

of the age, for if it can go where the church

These Shingle are of last year’s cut, have
been well housed and covered, and arein
good condition for use. I will fully warrant
them equal to any made, and far superior to
the great majority of brands that are manu—
factured in what wouldbe called hero, “thun—
der shower" mills. As is well known to the
trade, such shingles are cut from butts, rotten
hearted and refuse logs, are sent to shipping
points, traded for mill supplies and then
branded with the merchant‘s names, are sold
through the country as a. first quality article.
They are the refuse of creation and a swindle
from the stump to the consumer. Such shin-
gle arc dear at a dollar per thousand under
the market, and at the same price is simply
a. fraud upon a confiding public. Come and
examine a genuine article.
