The Huron -News -Record Wednesday, October 19, 1887 HUNTING FOR FROGS. How the Croakers aro tepeared and Served up by the Win- conisin Epicures. " Ever go frogging? No ! Well, you ought to go. Talk about a doer. They're no wilder than a ripe frog. You • have to be very cuuning. I like the early Morning best for spearing. Getting in a boat, I ala paddled noiselosaly around "the grassy shores of some lake, where I find the frogs bliuk- ing their big, watory eyes, just pre- paratory to going to rest for the day. The frog is a night bird, you know, and many persons, especially those who hunt thele for market, go • frogging by lantern -light. Some- , times they wade along the shores slowly, but the best way is to use a boat and jack -light. You can go more still and always have better .success." The repor?or dropped into a popular downtown restaurant a few days later and. just in tinge to hear a gentleman in sporting attire ex- claim :- • "Ah there, Charley, a dozen will be 'bout my size to -day." The reporter sought the chef. "Who eat frog .logs ?" repeated he. " Well, you see, the sporting people are particulary fond of them. In fact they are eaten by Americans generally, although it was originally a French dish, as wo all know, and so distinctively so that Franco be- came popularly styled the nation of frog -eaters. To stigmatize aFrench- man as a frog -eater has come to be awn -auerstral'-chestnut. Nr-ar few . Germans' will cat thorn. I don't know whether it is because. of any 'squeamishness or \another they, dis like frogs, just because their hated neighbors, the French, make so much . of. them. , -Whatever the reason, they won't eat them. Our Milwaukee' frog supply is obtained from. the little lakes, marshes and croods over the State, and Wiscon- sin is a great frog State. Just now the receipts of hams are quite Large from Muskego, Boscobol and Prairie do Chien. The supply is larger this year than last, but it is still much short of the demand as so many more people call for them. Big frog legs pleasure from eight to ton inches in length, and for this size we pay from 80 cents to $1.20 tr a dozen. Wo dish them out at from $1.20 to $.1.50 a dozen, and fix' them up so that Seven legs make a dozen. At this size they will run 'about six lees to the pound. We pay from 35 to 60 cents a dozen for the smaller ones, and get from 75 to 80 cents for them on the table,. We • aro going to havo° some monsters in to -morrow. They are on the way, and wish you would call in and see them." " How do you prepare them V' • "There is only one way to dish up frogs, and that is to fry them like oysters, in a batter of cornmeal and eggs. They must'nt bo too well cooked, and if just right, a more tempting dish was never set before an epicure. They aro such a delicacy, too. Why, wo havo num- erous calls from invalids for frog legs, who say such a diet has been proscribed by the attending physi- cian. A sick person can oat, enjoy and digest a dish of frogs, when any other pleat you might uamo would produce almost mortal agony or very harmful results." -At the criminal assizes in Toronto Judge Galt sentenced Jiichard Poynter, convicted of rape on a 9 year-old girl, to fifteen years in the provincial penitentiary. Henery Wagstaff, for assault with intent to commit rape, got two years. Fart and 4bput *omen. DAMN Or TBS Bonn • Woluen will be interested to know that the bustle is of Peruvian origin.

Among the roses, in morn's rosy glow, She would not look at me, but turned aside, Scanning the queenly blossoms in their pride ; And half she smiled and half she blushed to know Herself more fair than all their glorious show; Warmly I wooed to gain a peerless bride, But though my tenderest eloquence I tried, She laughed her silvery laugh and answer- ed "No." But when pale moonlight, in the garden close, Half hid and half revealed their loveli• nese, We stood among the roses, and I chose That shadowy hour my suit once more to press, The darkness gave her courage ; like a rose Sho dropped her head and softly whispered " Yes." A GOOD WORD FOR OLD MAIDS. It is the habit of irreverent scoffers to speak of old maids in words of ridicule. They seen- to think that they remain unmarried because they are obliged to, and that they aro always waiting for a chance to change their names, and to become fairly bound in the bonds of matri- mony. • That's a mistake, of course. Thorn is no greater philosopher in the world ,than the average old maid. She kuolvs what life is. Sho knows that the golden mien of. easy going existence is the secret of comfort. In hor own quiet way she has a good time, and when some folks aro thinking how staid and unsentimen- tal she is her thoughts aro drifting back to days full• of romance and picnics and balls, and moonlight walks. "For say what some people may about the old maid, there is a warns corner in hor heart for tho sentiment of life -sentiment of all the purer because it has boon chas- tened by years otauusolfishuess. We ell know what an angel a nice old, staid is about the house ; how sho discourages disorder and keeps things to rights, in spito of youthful carelessness and paternal forgetfulness. She. is the arbiter of' disputes and the dove of peace ; the awe of the servants and the friend -of everybody. When there is a family contention as to,what kind of dress the daughter shall_ -have, or what kind of hats the boys shall get, 'or what food shall be bought for din - nor, or what people shall be invited to the reception, or what • time the baby shall bo taken out to ride, or anything else, it is the' subdued, positive voice of ihoolidmaid that quells the discussion and assorts the conclusion of all dissenting opioions.• Sho is a jewel, is tho old maid. i\ray Heaven's choisest blessings rest upon her, and may some ' de- serving bachelor . appreciate her worth and act accordingly.

ESQESTRIENNE MATRONS. 'Boston has shown of late that her women are not behind the men in their onthusiasm for out-of-door pleasures, and it is agreeable to note how 11111011 benefit' as well as gen: uine pleasure tho lady riders after the beagles in the Beverly hunts havo got from the sport this fall. Some of the prettiest riding was by the young matrons. Fearless, grace- ful, and daring aro those fine riders, and, considering how little chance the No* England climate gives them, it is altogether surprising that they ride so well. The sparkle in the eye., the glow of health in the cheek, both bespeak tho value of the graceful and healthful exercise. Tho excitement of jumping pasture bars and fences only lends an added zest to Hie fun. No more becoming is known in those days in which to sot oar tho grace and refinement of feminine beauty than the riding habit, and a wonder it is that beau- tiful women are not painted in it. Our aunts and grandmothers re- member the time when it was every society lady's ambition to be painted in the graceful altitude of playing on the harp. Why not now the equestrienne portrait? MR, OF.lfAKMA,U 8..VAST, O.ome Intoroaiiaggrioodeo, Told BF tate SeferetAry of State. The enthusiasm which froua the .first greeted the Hon. Mr. Chap - lean upon his arrival amongst his old party friends of both nationali- ties, reached the highest pitch when the Secretary of State stood once mese before his fond admirers, who had gathered to welcome him back to his native Canada and to hear again that wonderful eloquence peculiar to the member for Terre - bonne. Leading members of the Conservative Association and the Junior Conservative Club, with Messrs. ---F•. I3ontoit--dud•-4tebt:--&- White, the respective presidents, at their head, had gouo to the Wind- sor Hotel early in the oveniug to escort the Secretary' of State to the Conservative headquarters. When the tremendous, cheering which greeted the advent of the eloquent leader had subsided, Mr. Beniot rend an address in French, which was followed by one in English read by Mr. E. J. Bedard, secre- tary of the Junior Conservative Club. Mr. Chaploau appeared the very picture of good health as with that familiar brush of the hair he commenced his address. "My face," ho began, "would contradict mo if I told 'you that I felt no emotion in meeting once more that confiding phalanx of sup- porters whose organization not long since brought , victory to, the Con- servative cause in the district of Montreal. I-como back to you fool- ing bettor than at any period of any life." This the hon. gentleman at- tributed to the articles which had appeared in the newspapers which had reported him in a state far more critieal than that in which he was now. "You say," ho continued, that yeti are glad to son ale back and possessing that renewed vigor which will enable No to fight THE BATTLES OF MY PARTY IN THE FUTURE as I have done in the past." Then with rapid intonation and increas- ing eloquence, Mr. Chapleau pro- ceeded to define the position of the Conservative party, "They tell us that our party is divided. Wo have differences, it is true, and wo have defective spots in our armor. But this, gontlelon, is characteris- tic of our whole lifo. Tho purest diamonds have their rugged cavities, and so our grand old party may have its weak points, and if we are true to ourselves wo will never dis- arm or become discouraged, but rather go in to further conquests and • glorious ' accomplishments." After again tbauking those before hint for the work . they 'had done during the last Federal contest, the chieftain wont on to toll how the Whole of Europe had its oyes turn- ed towards our great North-West. He could truthfully aver that Can- ada . was _naw_ tlttt pct, vo-moro atten- tion than any other country in the world. Frenchmen had said, "if wo only had your admirable system of government!" and so it was over the whole of Europe. "Yes," continued the speaker, "your motto is Jaaperes clans l'urdre, Mind you should be proud of it, ailil-`j`uu;TdlY;' aro worthy of your maxim." The -poli. gentleman said -he would -not make a lengthy address, but would in the near future, avail himself of au opportunity of addressing A LARGE MEETING IN MONTREAL upon the great questions of the day. However, he felt it his duty to touch briefly olio or two subjects of growing importance. With re• gard to commercial union, rho Soceetary of State beloived that it had taken root in the vanity of its author, but neither in Ontario or Quebec bad the idea 'been accepted by the {looplo at largo., "Commer- cial Union is • impossible, partly because the people of the United States, that is, the statesmen and the'thirikiug men, will have noth- ing to do with, it. They say that ,it would bo a foolish policy for themselves as well as ruinous to ns. 'At the International Conference about to bo held on the fishery question the idea of a legitimate exchange of the products of the soil of' both countries will be dis- cussed." • This, lir. Chapleau coutended, had been offered by the Conserva- tive party in years hone by, and would be advocated again, lie also believed that in the person of Mr. Jos. Chamberlain rho English people would have a firm, able and independent representation, and a gentleman well worthy of the charge which had been given into his hands; he denominated the mem- ber fur Birmingham as one of the most eminent men of the British Parliament, and indicated, amidst ringing cheers, that Sir John A. Macdonald, although not yot named would bo THE CANADIAN MEMBER CP TIIE CONFERENCE. Going on to treat of Premier Morcier's conference at Quebec, Mr. Chapleau denounced tho idea of such a movement in very severe terns, and although he believed that the intentions of some of these local men were good, he thought they wore taking a very effective way of preventing strict justice bo- ing done to their respective pro - vi>ilces eft did hot lake co bop the cerltta; l?41toi;, , thus wowed.L.t'\rhab, wo.u'ld ave sag if 'a man's children wero'to conspire together and attempt to coerce the bead of the family in the wise distribution of the gifts which the father was about to main to the young mem- ber`s of that household V' Mr. Cliapleau regretted that the Hon - Mr. Monier had placed his native province iu a false position.. by call• hag together his convention. No doubt great plans and theories would be projected, but nothing practical would tomo out of it in the end. Ontario would never agree, as her treasurer had plainly told them to the disturbing tenden- ote- "' a oI` Tuo'Ciec s First Minister. The speaker contended that Quebec had no reason to complain at the manner she had been treated by the present Ottawa Government; and then shed some light upon the work of the Quebec members a few sessions since *-rich had been brought about, NOT BY REVOLT, as Mr. Blake had said, but by their united, patriotic and intelligent representations to the administra- tion of the.day. With reference b the Manitoba difficulty, Mr; Chapleau said that if the people of that pr'oviuco had been asked in 1880 or pr'ev'ious to the building of the C. P. R. if they would agree to forego the construc- tion of rival lines to the United States for forty or fifty years oven, ho was certain that they would have sworn upon all the Bibles in the country that they would never dream of demanding the construction of such a road in opposition to that great company which had risked so ,much in order to give this country a transcontontal road. "But this is politienl Iifo !` You overload a man with favors to -day and to -morrow he will express the greatest wonder why n heavy addition is not made to the first?" Speaking of the rates of carriage, Mr. Chapleau also stated that the tariff' was from thirty to forty per coot loss on the C. P. R. than on the linos in the adjoining states. He dismissed the question by expressing the certain convic- tion that the difficulty would bo set- tled by the Government iu a manner SATISFACTORY TO THE PEOPLE 010 MANITOBA and all parties interested therein. Tho orator thee took a rapid retrospect of his own life, in reply to a passage of -the address, and in language scarcely ever equalled in brilliancy by any public speaker in the city, he fold how, as a boy of nineteen,, he had gone •into Terro- bonne-from Dec.. 1869, to Feb. 1860 -la assist Simeon . Morin, whole he described es passing like a brilliant meteor over the face of Canadian• public life ; how ho had boon offered and refused, while a poor bcy, a lucrative position in -the gift of the Government; and. of the pleasure he at all times folt in fighting the battles of his party as a simple soldier, rather than accept a higher position bought at t -ho cost of sacrificing dignity and honor, „T11c•aali•u•ister also created some sur- prise by stating that when Jr1'. Jolt', whorl lie characterises- as a patriot and an honest man, was iu o(lice, he, Mr. Chapleau, had been offered a high official position. His answer had been nineteen months of relent- less warfare -waged, NOT BECAUSE MR. JOLY WAS DISHONEST, but because ho considered, the poiicy of the member for Lotbinioro disastrous or the country. He denied 'the correctness of a report in .the Star which made him say that if ho went to Spencorwood it would be against his will. What ho stated was this, "When I go to Spouoerwood it will bo of my own free will" and cheers renewed again and again greeted the follow- • ing words -"I did not. seek the Governorship: 1 do ..not want it." Here the Seci•etar y of State turn- ed to treat of the alleged differ- ences in the Ottawa • Minis- try. JIo denied that any serious • difficulty existed; but' ho said that all those rumors Hurst cease. "I leave for Ottawa to- morrow; and will at once eco my leader and my colleagues. Wo must be a united, 'sympathetic and har- monious Government, for if wo aro not, ruin awaits the Conservative party !" • • -Mr. John Ingram, of Portage la Prairie Man., threshed 4,969 bushels of wheat, the product of a field containing 108 acres, This is an average yield of 43} bushels to the acre. -A rat feasted upon the left ear of Mrs. Greenwood, London, the other night, and the 'ippon t con- necting the oar With the face Was separated by the piercing and nibbliug. -Edward Graham, who on the 12th of August last, throw vitriol in the face of Louppe Silvert, of Toronto, was acntellfced by the Police Magistrate to imprisonment for life.
