ippi urtuj L10IIT DRINKS AND DISHES. Posset, Bnttered Ale, Bristol Milk, Lamb't-VVocl and the Like. In Shakespeare's day tho fare of country gentlemen was "four, te and six dishes when they bave but small resort." Dinner was served at eleven in tbe morning, supper at six, but was generally protracted to a late hour, and there was always the posset, also not Infrequently buttered ale, Bristol milk and lamb's wool. For the posset, as used In ancient times: Beat up weli ihe yelks of eight eggs with reflnod pulverized sugar and a grated nutmeg; then extriict tho Juice of the rind of a lemon by rubbing sugar lumps on it and put tbe sugar with a piece of cinnamon and a bottle of wine In a saucepan. Place It on the fire, taking it off when It boils; then add a single glass of cold white wine, put the liquor into a spouted jug, and pur it gradually among the yelk's of eggs.

Keep stirring well while the liquid Is pouring In. If it be not sweet enough add sugar; and, lastly, pour the mixture as swiftly as possible from one vessel to another until It yields a fine froth. Observe, If the wine bo poured boiling hot among the eggs, the mixture will curdle and the posset be spoiled. The beverage must bo drunk hot. Lamh's-wool was made of roasted apples, bruised and mixed In ale, nutmeg, milk or wine.

On tho 1st of November It was an ancient Ci'ltio practice to indulge In a feast called La Mas Ubhal, tho day of the appie-fruit. Bristol milk was rnilk punch. Buttered ale was composed of sugar, cinnamon, butter and beer brewed without bops. Ale was universally popular with all classes. Regarding the subject of wines.

American home-made wines may tie added to the wine-cellar without at all being regarded ai plebeian by their foreign neighbors. The four requisites Tor fermentation are sugar, malic acid, vegetable extracts and water. For a sweet wine tho cork Ltiould not bo closed until the sound of fermentation has nearly ceased. It a dry wine, a barrel must be In readiness 'which has been subjected to ihe fumes of sulphur; draw off tho wine It, rack It off, clearing It with Isinglass and bot-tlo ten weeks after. To make excellent noyau: To one ounce of large apricot kernels add one pound of loaf sugar, an eighth of bo ounce of cinnamon and the lami) of coriander.

Pound all well together in a mortar and lnfuo them In a quart of the tiest brandy. Cork It up for three weeks, shaking it every day; then lot it settle, and filter It until fine. Noyau should bo ma le entirely of peach, apricot, nectarine or plum--tone kernels. If almonds are ued the flavor is not so fine. There Is a variety of drinks which could be made at a moderate expense Infinitely belUr than poor or intoxicating wines and liquor: for instance, cold punch made In this way: Peel six lemons free from pith, cut them up in small pieces and put them in a bottlo with two cloves, half a pint of hot water, and place in a stew-pan with boiling water; let it stand back near the fire, but do not let It boil, for two hours; then take h-iif a pint of lemon Juice, half a pint of capillaire; if without tins, use sugar, which will make the same quantity of syrup; add twenty drops of orange-flower water and the infusion of the rind: stir well together, aud add two quarts of cold water.

The acidity of some lemons Is greater than others. SVhen those used are very B'ur. and also if using lime Juice, more capillaire must be used. This will be the simple lemonade, which, if desired, will make also a fl'e punch by the addition of one pint of capillaire, half a pint of lemon Juice, one pint of pale brandy, one Dint of pale rum, oat table spoonful of arrack and five quarts of cold water: let it remain some time before it is decanted.

Dolfield, Wm. Schwarz and George K. Willis, has made an exhaustive report on tbe subject of exemption of manufacturing plant from taxation, which states that "to repeal tbe ordinance is to take a long step backward. To allow it to remain, to give it the stamp of permanency by quieting the agitation for its removal, to bring about other public schemes in co-operation with it, among others the removal of the water tax, to improve by public enterprise our transportation facilities and to secure the establishment of uniform rates, is to inaugurate a system of business-like energy, by which alone we can ever hope to build up a prosperous community or maintain our present position among the manufacturing and commercial cities of the East."

Father Keller of Youghal, county Cork, was arrested today. He had twice declined to receive summonses ordering him to appear In court and answer questions respecting bis alleged custody, as trustee under the plan of campaign, of monevs belonging to the tenants on the Ponsonby estates. Father Keller on his Journey to Dublin re ceived an ovation at all the stations. He was met at Tnurlea by Archbishop Croke and twelve priests. The Archbishop assured Father Keller of his sympathy and approval, and he warned the tory government that the attempt to crush the priesthood would fail.

On his arrival at jjuoiir Father Keller was enthusiastically received. Ho was not conveyed to Jail. Entering the lord mayor's carriage ho was driven tnrougn the city to the Imperial Hotel. The carriage was followed by thousands of people with banners, bands of music, The lord mayor, in a speech, said that thousands of priests were ready to follow Father Keller to Jail. Addresses were presented to Father Keller by the municipal authorities of all the towns through which he passed.

Several members of the House of Commons were In the crowd that awaited Father Keller at tbe Dublin sta tion. The poiioe were obliged to retire before the people, who stormed the train and bore Father Keller to the lord mayors car riage. Upon arriving at the Imperial Hotel raiia-r iveuur wm preaeuieu wnn an aauregs by the lord mayor, to which be replied that his journey had been more like tbat of a conquorer than of a humble pastor. Standing in the midst of noble leaders, he was ashamed and humiliated to be made the recipient of such an address. He would never become an inrormer against his flock, not if he had to suffer imprisonment, or even death.

Cork. March 18. When Father Keller reached Cork in the custody of the police ho was met at the depot by the mayor of the city, tne municipal council and a large crowd that filled the streets. When the priest aliuhtod from the train he was greeted with a great cheer, followed by music from the band engaged for the occasion. The mayor and council then, on behalf of the people of Cork, presented Father Keller with an address.

London. March 18. Mr. John Dillon. in the House of Commons this evening, protested airainst the arrest of Father Keller at Youghal today.

Mr. Balfour, chief secretary for Ireland, denounced Mr. Dillon's violent language and his partisanship in accusing the lr isii police ot misleading tho magistrate in the case, and goading tho people to resistance. Mr. Balfour declared that the Irish agitators were really responsible for goading the peo ple of Ireland into rebellion.

After a prolougd debate a call for a di vision was made, and tbo members on the front opposition bench left the House in a body, amid ironical cheers. A motion to adjourn was negatived 220 to 88 and the debate oil ihe cloiuro rules was resumed. The first rule was adopted. The Czar's Murder Planned by DegaieflT. London.

March 18. It is now supposed that last Sunday's plot to assassinate the Czar was planned bv Degaieff, alias Jablonski, the famous nihilist leader, who was the author of the conspiracy which resulted in the killing of Sudekin, Russian chief of police, three years ago. Degaieff was trans ported to Siberia, but it transpired last Octo ber that he had escaped and gone to Switzer land. Lvery effort has beeu made to secure Degaieff's arrest for last Sunday's crime, but he has been able thus far to completely bailie tbe police. The police have become alarmed at St.

Petersburg in consequence of reports that numerous widespread bands of nihilists are ready for immediate action. It is rumored in Vienna that a rising was attempted in Moscow, but was suppressed. Arrests of persons suspected of being implicated in the recent plot to assassinate the Czar have been made lat Cronstadt and other garrisons. The police of Odessa have arrested a gang of nihilists and seized a quantity of explosives and tools used in the manufacture of ibombs. Two girl students bave been flogged to insensibility for their connection with tbe nihilist conspiracy.

Poutilin, the chief of the St. Petersburg detective force, has been handsomely rewarded for the zeal displayed by him in thwarting tbe designs ot the plotters against the Czar. The Russian minister of education has de creed tbat students shall henceforth belong to no society whatever even those sanc tioned by the government as experience has shown tbat they are liable to be misled by political agitators. It is reported that shells loaded with seven pounds of dynamite and 200 strychnine-poi soned bullets have been found in conspira tors lodgings. The London Investigation.

LoNDON.March 18. The parliamentary committee appointed to investigate tbe charges against the London corporation held its first session today. Lord Hartineton presiding. Mr. irtb deposed that he had examined the accounts of the corporation.

He founa that a special committee had been appointed in 1882 to oppose the reform bill, and that there was expended by the committee a total of 50.000. He said tbat practically the city accounts had never been audited, notwithstanding the fact that the corporation employed so-called audi tors, who, the witness added, were liverymen without practical knowledge of their duties. Meetings held in support of the reform bill were raided by roughs, who haa been supplied with thousands of forged tickets of admission by corporation officials. Mr. Scott, city chamberlain, being sworn, presented a written official protest against the production of tbe corporation's accounts, on the ground that the House of Commors exceeded its rights in demanding the accounts, and acted in a manner derogatory to the rights and privileges of the corporation.

What Bismarck Said to De Isseps. 18. The Voltaire publishes an interview today with M. de Lesseps in relation to his visit to Berlin. M.

de Lesseps professed complete disregard for the attacks upon him by the radical press, and main tained tbe truth of bis assertion that Ger many and France were natural friends, having common interests. He said Prince Bismarck told him he was glad to see France great and strong, and would wish Germany to be the same, so that the two nations might be able to gauge the uncertainty of a fresh conflict. "May we some day exclaim," continued the Prince, "that we would be stupid to kill each other; let us join forces and be masters of the world. We would then be able to work for the progress of civiilzalicn. The day our forces are equal we will again be friends.

Our geographical position makes it our duty to neglect nothing to that end which will insure the peace of the world. Thai is why I congratulate you upon possessing the energetic and soldier-like General Boulanger. I repeat that when our forces are equal the two peoples will fraternize." Proposed Release of Zobehr Pacha. Cairo, March 18. It is reported tbat the Egyptian government is meditating the release of Zobehr Pacha.

He is a prisoner of state at Gibraltar, where he baa been in cap tivity since March 30, 1885. He was arrested on March 14, at Alexandria by order of the Khedive for alleged treason, it having been charged against him that be was a secret ally ot El Mahdi, and had been largely Instrumental in securing for the False Prophet the fall of Khartoum. Zobehr Pacha preceded Gen. Gordon as Governor of tbe Soudan. Gordon admired bim, even after his removel from the Governorship, and insisted that he should be restored to power as the only man capable of maintaining order in the Soudan.

The arrest and transportation of Zuliehr were attributed by a large and Influential party in Egypt to intrigue, and this party has always insisted that be was a true patriot, and that the charges against him, which effected bis downfall, were pure inventions. The New Consul Arrives at Tangier. Tangier, March 18. The United States steamer Quinnebaug has arrived here and has exchanged salutes with the city forts in celebration of the installation of tbe new American consul, Mr. Lewis.

A crowd of natives today visited the residence of Mr. Ion Perdicaris to thank him for having as an American citizen secured their release from prison, in which tbey had. it is alleged, been confined by usurious creditors through the influence of foreign consuls.

Among the begging letters recently received at the office of a benevolent society was one running thus: "This unfortunate young man is the only son of a widow wuo died childless, and bis earnings maintain his aged lather and infant brothers, whose whole support ha is."

A Jury Secured In the Cleary Cae Fur ther Investigations In ISrooklyn. Special Disoatch to tho Baltimore Sun.l New York, March 18. A Jury was obtained today In the Cleary case at last.

Never in the history of the criminal oourts here has It been so difficult to prooure a jury. To get this Jury the prosecution exhausted eighteen peremptory challenges and tbe defenso twenty, the latter being the full number The jury-box was filled altogether forty times, only one of the first twelve Jurors obtained romnlns in the box to try the case. Fifteen special panels were drawn in all one thousand and fifty Jurors of whom 594 were sworn and examined, and 53 qualified and took their seats in the bix. or ine 6J. J3 were retired by pre-emptory challenge, and three were excused by consent of counsel on both sides.

It has taken fourteen full court days to get twelve good and true jurors, which is at the rate of sixth-sevenths of a Juryman a day. Tho case will now proceed more rapidly. The jury seems to be a rainy intelligent one. During the trial the court will sit from 10 A. M.

to 10 P. taking recess for lunch only. Mr. Dougherty objected to the hours, sHvinir that the strain would be too great. He did not wish to break down like Col.

Fellows. Judge Barrett did not see how it would injure ihe defense more than the peoples attorneys. The defense had four attorneys, while Mr. Nicoll stood alone for the people. Mr.

Dougherty told a reporter that he should break down before the trial was half over. Cleary, during recess, was in custody of a deputy sheriff. After recess Mr. Shafer, without Implying any disrespect to his honor, entered a gen eral exception to tne nxlng or the hours of court from 10 A. M.

to 10 P. M. on the ground that the defense could not get the minutes extended from tho stenographer's notes each day. Judge Barrett thought there was no room for an exception, as the matter was entirely at the discretion of the court, but granted the motion. Assistant District Attorney Delancey Nicoll then began his address to the jury.

Upon tne cunclusion or Mr. JNicoll speech, ex-Alderman Fullgraff was put upon the stand for the prosecution, and told the story as on former tria's. Upon the cross-exami nation, Mr. Shafer made FullgraDC ac knowledge that he had committed per jury before the Senate committee. Then bo thundered at him.

"Have you been indicted bv the federal courts for that perjury?" "Have you been Indicted for perjury by tne district attorney in the State courts?" "Didn't you come forward and turn State's evidence to save yourself from State prison?" Fullgraff answered "Yes" to each question, and tried to say more, but was cut short oy the lawyer. "Why didn you re turn that $10,000 you got for the Broadway vote?" shouted the examiner. "I want to return it to the man I got it of Mr. DeLacy." said Fullgraff. 'If he will come back here and call for it I'll return it to him." The redirect examination elicited nothing new.

Mr. Shafer moved to strike out the evidence of Fullgraff on the ground that he was a self-confessed perjurer. The motion was denied and ex-Alderman Duffy was called. His story as told had nothing new in it and was a repetition of Fullgraff s. At the end of Duffy's evidence the court was adjourned until tomorrow.

An interesting case is being investigated by the grain committee oT the Produce Exchange. Gbstav Amsink, an exporter, bought from Mclntyre Wardwell a cargo of wheat, which was loaded Into a vessel at the Brooklyn warehouse of E. B. Burtlett. Amsink, it is said, discovered that a spout from a bin of screenings was run into the wheat being loaded into his vessel, which was thus receiving a mixture of wheat and screenings.

He reported the matter the Produce Ex change. Mr. Bartlett said that it was an accident, and that be was absent when it occurred, and that he would be willing to settle for any loss. The case excites much interest at the Produce Exchange. The Brooklyn investigating committee to day examined into the condition of the local civil-service commission, with a view of showing that the commission had been worked in the interest of Brooklyn demo cratic politicians.

Alexander C. Evangelides, secretary of the commission, testified that he did not think it was the rule that men appointed to office in Brooklyn in 1886 were those who had the backing of men well known in democratic circles. The men who Tailed in their application for office had as much of that backing as the men who succeeded. Of tbe 209 successful candidates for appointment last year 27 were recommended by Register Murtha, 2u by William A. i urey.

Id by Hugh McLaughlin, 10 by Alderman McCarthy, 13 by Michael Coffey and 14 by Hayes. The witness knew that some of the men he had named were active democratic politicians. but he did not knew about the others. Cotton was less active today, and prices declined 3 to 4 points. The sales were 99,250 bales.

Coffee was quiet and a points higher. Wheat opened higher, with but light export demand, end closed easier at '4 to cent advance. The option sales were 9,000,000 bushels. Corn was quiet, and cent lower. The death of Geo.

G. Sickles, at bis home in New Rochelle, last night, removes one of the most UDique and interesting characters of the Metropolis. His 6on. Gen. Daniel E.

Sickles, has achieved a national reputation by his record in the civil war as minister to Spain, and as one of the reorganizes of the Erie Kailroad. rather and son are two of the most interesting men New York has pro duced. Everybody has heard of the domestic tragedy iu hich Gen. Sickles figured, and of the great trial that ensued some 30 years aeo. One of the most familiar figures at Jerome Park in the racing season and at the theatres during the dramatic season is Gen.

Sickles and his crutches. He left a leg on the field of Gettysburg. His father was less celebrated, but more eccentric. He was born in 1800, and has voted the democratic ticket at every election since James Monroe was made President. He made a fortune of several million dollars in the printing business, in Wall street, in real estate operations, and in law.

Stories of his eccentricities can be told without number. As a member of Tammany Hall during the "twenties" he nominated Gen. Jackson for President. During the war he supported the Union. The most interesting act of his life was his second marriage in lb81.

when he was 81 years old. Tbis created a sensation at that time. During his long life he has been identified intimately with the most prominent men New York has produced, and en joyed their confidence. The will of the de ceased is understood to diSDOse of about $5,000,000 worth of property, each of his daughters receiving $50,000. his widow a third.

Th Proposed Underground Railway An Important Privilege Withheld. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.l Philadelphia, March 18. City councils have passed the ordinance permission to the Metropolitan Railroad Company 10 build an underground rapid transit railroad through the city. The project is a very big and costly one, and there is a little skepticism as to whether the road will actually be built, but the projectors declare that they intend to begin work at once. They are limited to seven years for the completion of the road.

According to the scheme, there would be double lines underground throuirh the entire length of Market and of Broad streets: another north and south on Third street, and a branch out Ridge avenue and down Diamond to Third. The Market-street line is to be first built. Councils have definitely killed for the present the proposition for a lease of the waterworks, but the company has evidently not yet given up hope, as there is a bill before the Legislature which if passed will permit it to increase its stock capital to $20,000,000. A good deal of scandal has been occasioned by the action of councils in refusing to pass ordinances permitting the Bell Telephone and other similar companies to lay their wires underground according to the terms of a general ordinance, while special favors are shown to the Penn Electric Light Company, which is authorized to lease its conduit to other companies. The privileges are not in words exclusive, but after the Penn Electric has put down its conduits there will De no room for the regular telegraph and telephone companies, and they will be obliged to rent spaces from the Penn Company or Keep their wires overhead.

By a codicil $5,000 is given to the Church of the Holy Trinity, $2,500 to the Home for Blind Men, $5,000 to the Children's Hospital, $2,500 to the Church Home at Angara, and $500 to the Bible Society, these amounts to be deducted from the $100,000 named.

Miss Bohler left an estate valued at $600,000. The colored people iu the neighborhood of Richards street, where Wakefield Gains was murdered, have become so excited over the alleged appearance of his ghost that the immediate neighbors have had to ask for police protection from the mobs that gather in the street every night.

Deatli of Mother Euphemia. Mother Catherine Euphemia, superioress of the order of the Sisters of Charity in tne United States, died vesterday morning at Mount Saint Joseph's Academy. Emmitsburar, in the 71st year of her age. She had been ill for several months. Some time ago Prof.

Alan P. Smith went to Emmitsburg to consult with her attending physicians, and gave it as his opinion at the time that she could not recover. Mother Euphemia was a daughter cf Peter Blenkinson, the only Catholic book-s Her in Baltimore in 1815. At the age of fifteen years Miss Bleukinsop entered the order, and a few years afterwards became a professed sister. Her extraordinary executive and administrative ability coupled with her many beautiful traits of character, brought her into prominence at once in her community.

As age ripened her faculties, her worth became the more apparent, and she was promoted from one position of trust and responsibility to another, until finally, 1866, on the death of the then supenoiess. Sister Euphemia was elected Mother Superior of the Sisters of Charity in the United States, with St. Joseph's, Emmitsburg, as headquarters. Under her direction th academy there has become one of the most famous institutions of learning for youns ladies in the country. Mother Eupnemia golden jubilee was celebrated in 1SS1.

It is understood that parties have purchased LOOO acres of land at Sparrow's Point, on the Pa-tapsco, near Baltimore, including the Holly Grove or Tivoli resort of 1S2 acres, and that thev contemplate the starting of a large steel works industry there.

The first reports that Northern Central or Pennsylvania Kailroad people were negotiating for the purchase were erroneous. The owners of the Tivoli property have sold to the parties for cash, and it is said that options on adjacent properties to make up the 1,000 acres have been accepted, and the transaction closed at about $30 to $50 an acre. The Pennsylvania Steel Works, or persons connected with them, have been named in connection with the project, which, if carried through, will eive an advantageous addition to the manufacturing interests of this city. The gentleman who is negotiating tne purchase of the property said yesterday that in a few days he will be in a position to give a statement of tbe facts. He said an important industrial enterprise is contemplated, but it is not yet in shape to be explained.

Several British steamships chartered at this port are now overdue, and their prolonged passages, while causing some anxiety, are attributed to the bad weather reported at sea and the continued westerly winds.

Lund, which left Shields the same day for iltimore.

Food for Thought. Mr. T. A. Symington sends Thb Sun a drawing of an insect about the size of a pin's head, of wnieh he says he has found several specimens in every glass of water drawn in his house in the city.

The drawing is of the insect as shown by the microscoDe, magnified to about an inch in length. It is rather a hideous-looking monster for people to be drinaing, but as they are devoured and do not devour, and as nobody has been hurt in the least by them, the insects must be innocuous, though so frightful-looking. Tbe insect looks as if it were of the fish family, as it has a tail, fins and two prickly horns branching from its head, each longer than its body. Sfew Buildings.

Kimball, a leading business man of Atlanta, has written a letter portraying the business benefits of prohibition in lhat city. Mr. Kimball did not vote for prohibition, but as a leading property-owner of his city, be refutes tbe statements widely published that business has been depressed by prohibition and that many business men bave moved from the city. He says that not one of the buildings formerly used as a liquor store is vacant, and that only one former bar-room is unoccupied in tbe business portion of the city, and only fourteen in all, most of which are cheap tern porary structures. He adds that every really tenantable building in the city now vacant, two new ones bave been erected since prohibition." A special feature pre sented by Mr.

Kimball is in the fact that of the new nouses recently begun many are being built for mechanics and laboring men. and that colored men are now buying lots and preparing to build their own homes. He adds that population has increased since prohibition instead of diminishing, as has been charged, and that prohibition does prohibit In Atlanta, as law. Is enforced with much success as any law upon our statute- books..
