THERE WAS NO BUTTER, No SUGAR, NO BREAD IN THOSE DAYS - SOME STRANGE SAUCES AND QUEEIt�IADE DISHES - THE HONORABLE OBLIGATION OF ''SUB ROSA." lluulans, with all their splendid civilization, bequeathed to 1.18 but two price Iess and enduring legacies -their law's and their cookery. Through both we have been Molded, but subtle as has been the influence of the Reinert law, it pales before the significance of the Roman cuisine in shaping modern character, in forming the Modern mind through. the stomach. Plagiarists and gross iiiiitetors in tl,e field of religion, literature, and art, as the Romans undoubtedly were, they were epien- dill cooks. Much of their original thought found expression in the art and invention of the kitchen, and its influence is present to day in our soups and salads, in our mauaages alio entrees. The authority of Apicius, the Roman epicure, has been no less potent than that of Justinian, the lawgiver. We are accustomed to conceive the Roman dinners aa visions, for- ever departed, of gorgeous revelry and splendor, of delicate ease and refinement. But history very often ueglects to tell us that the senators of unbending dignity, the private citizens of traditional refine• went, ate with their fingers and indulged, during dinner sufficient cleansing to constitute an ordinary bath. From under the splendid canopies there was noisome smoke no less than the strains of sweet music. The Roman dinner was of bar- baric grossness. Intermingled with its pleasures were trying discomforts. Associated with palatable dainties were gastronomic outrages that would repel the modern epicure, disturb his temper, and offend his taste. An Augustan supper was, consumed hastily ; it w as always a gross and fantastic enjoyment. The Romans were voluptuaries incapable of experiencing the finer delights of the table. They were gluttons, never epicures. The strongest appeal of the Roman cook was to the fancy, not to the palate. His ideas, which found expression in his cookery, wore grotesque, even repulsive. He appealed to en appetite of cruel fancy, to one like that of the Roman sensualist, who could not relish a lamprey unless he imagined it to have been fattened on human flesh. He appealed to ostentatious extravagance. He peppered his master's drink with powdered pearls. He paid what would be equivalent to $5,000 of our money for a pie made from birds whose singing was supposed to imitate human voices. But, with all the boasted art and perfection of the Roman cuisine, the ancient masters of the world had no sugar, no butter, no bread, as we understand the words. The ancient peoples of the south es a whole were without these primary elements of food, the substantial basis upon which the fanciful superstructure of the well order.. ed table is built. Butter -the fancy substance which enters so minutely into most of the delicacies which plsasu our palate -wan to the ancient„ Greeks and Romans a thing of curiosity rather than of service. Iia oae f(tr any dietetio purpose was confined to a few old races neither melte the iuflueucee of southern climate nor of Occidental customs. In all the southern epuntriee of the ancient world oil served the purpose of butter. It was one of the woat con- stantly used elements in the kitchen -to our notions, one of the wost abused. Another of our seeming Reeeesi'- ties of life, sugar, was unknown to the ancients. Honey was its single substitute, and in most remarkable combinations and under strange cuuditious was it ueed. Upon meats, stewed, fried, boiled, and baked, it was poured. with wine, Kum, and spice, it Made the ilitta- tory whet to appetite at the regular meal. Da purposes and re.latious were eviduutly but poorly known, and it was moat outrageously used. The Rowans necessarily were ignorant of the aubtler excellences of fermented grapes. Wine was their constant and best loved drink, but it was, like themselves, gross. Oysters and honey in conjunction will, under average circuwetances, make a modern epicure shudder. They were esteemed a delicacy by the Romans, who increased the flavor by the introduction of pepper and vinegar. Sweet and sour ib COnatant Contact was but one of the a1101ILtl lea Uf Roman cooking. When we hear of bread in the annals of the Rowan state it in in connect ion with plebeians and their riots and (Juniors, 'rile excavations et Pompeii have laid bare to the modern world the entire interior of a Roman bakery. There in full view are its ovens, its great, open fireplace, its kneading troughs, its primitive flour gulills, its bread, somewhat well done after the bak- ing of ven(uriea. Upon each loaf is slaulped the i•aine of ire maker or the sign of the shop. We know the size of the loaves, great and smell, but both in the eyes of a dyspeptic would be intolerably heavy. Bread, in our hens() of the term, light, wholesome, palatable., was unknown to the ancients. Coarsely ground grains, wheat or corn, leavened by an inadequate process, were the substitutes which the poor of Rome were compelled to accept, which the rich very seldotu' used. Not for centuries after was there much improvement. Not until the reign of Elizabeth, the virgin queen, did bread assume its important position in the eyes of men. Fruwenty, wheat boiler) in milk, took largely the place of bread in the cuisine of the refined Romans. It was a constituent of meet foods, but, like all the elements of a Rowan dish suffered a transforma- tion which completely disguised it in the final stage, when it was pre- sented to the :,onsideration of the imperial epicures. Thin biscuits like wafers, sometimes broken into tiny fragments, tickled the palates of Roman gentlemen. Pork was the purlieu of the Ro- man epicure The pits, grid -iron, fry pan, oven, boiler, and stewspan were utilized for its preparation. Imagine the"delicacy or flavor of a baked pig, stuffed with thrushes, beccaficos, dates, onions, snails, mal- lows, beets, leeks, celery, cabbage, coriander seeds, pepper, pine nuts, eggs, and genies. Down the back of the porker a great opening was Mado,end into it was poured a mix- ture of bitter rue, sweet wine, hon- ey and oil,tlli, keued with.frunlenty. That was a dish that would throw a Roti sn into ecstasy. He was a devotee of sauces and seasonings. He )tad many coldimeuts,but garum was his favorite. He obtained it from the intestiues, gills and blood of fishes, groat and small, which was stirred together with salt and exposed to the sun until fermented. Wine and spice Iterbs were added. It watt strained and poured Liberally on fleeh, fielt, game and fowl. In- ferior kinds were prepared for the poor, it was prized above all other sauces. No thought of its repustive, nauseating ingredients entered the Minds of fastidious epicures. It gave piquanco to barbaric pleases of fifty incongruous elements, in which sweet and sour, hot and cold, saline and mucilaginous compounds enter- ed, with alarwing disreguard of sub- sequent consequences. The Romans could relish what was offensive but they revolted against what was°tough. With pes- tle, mortar, and knife the Roman chief chopped, diced and dissected infinitesimally until meate ' and vegetables were pounded into a deli- cate pulp. Haggis, as the Scotch call it, was a favorite preparation. It was boiled pig's stomach, filled with fry and brain, raw eggs, and pineapple beaten into a pulp, and flavored with the never absent var- um. Asafoetida was no inconsider- able element in the flavoring of foods. There were extraordinary mixtures of oil and wine, honey and pepper, and the disgusting distilla- tion from the fish. There was fru- menty in broths, stews, and hotch- potches. There was an extravagant love for birds of fine plumage, for roast lobsters, for sweetened oysters. e a favorite pastry was a Mixture of ruse leaves, well beaten, hraiu, and eggs, Mingled with garuni, pepper, and wine, all lightly fried. There were also uelicioun 6gs, frees herbs, anchovies ; fruits, outs, sweetmeats, tarts and confectionary in fantastic fabric. The Roulette had many ale. vents of food which to our sense we disgusting and nauseating ; they ee teemed as delicacies Crone which we feel offend the taste to the last de- gree. Yet they were courteous, luxurious in judgment and desires, honorable in their relations. Nut the least eignitieant in the banquet - room of thelRowans were (twee fes- toons cf roses which drooped over the gorgeously frescoed ceilings. Very seldom was thespirit it quits) lized violated. No guest would be- tray the indiscreet words spoken un' der the rose. 11 URDERED HIS SISTER. A GIRL TIt1E8 TO STOP A QUARREL AND 18 KILLED. May Hanley, of Chicago, 23 yeti's old, tried to stop a quarrel which was being carried ou between her father and l7•year•old brother last evening, and received a knife thrust in her left side,from which she diel) two hours later. The murder occurred at No. 112 Elbourne avenue where the family lived. The son, Thomas, had asked pertuiesion of his fattier to attend the theatre last evening. IIe wits re- fused, and hard words followed which finally led to blows. Dur' iug the fight father and sou retreat- ed from each other and quickly each drew a kuife from his pocket and prepared to Huish the tight in true border style. Just as the combatants started at each other with the keen edged weapons Miss May opened the door and rushed betwoeu the Maddened fighters, Her brother's knife had started on its downward course and she got between then) just in time to receive the blade in her body. It penetrated her left side just above the hip and severed a large artery. Thu wounded girl fell to the floor, and both father and son stood ever the prostrate forst horror stricken. It was ouly for a moment, however, and without even a word of pity or consolation for the sister who had jeopardized her life in hope of sav- ing his, the boy turned and fled. The dying girl was picked up and tenderly laid upon a bed, and Dr. Mott,ofNo. 661 WestPwelfth Htreet, was hastily summoned. He exam- ined her wound but pronounced her came hopeless, and she died at 8:30 o'clock. The police were notified of the oc' currence, and an hour later Officer Jarrett Hartigan, of the West Thir- teenth Street Station, found the young murderer and locked hint up, charged with murder. Both father and and son bear bad reputations in the locality in which they live, and are well known to the police. 'I'lle murdered girl was plea - ant mannered and much liked by. tllome who knew her, and the feels big in the neighborhood is very bitter against both father and son. The father is under surveillance and the police are working upon the case and will doubtless place flim under arrest as accessory to the crime. SUNK IN THE ' ATLANTIC. The steamer Iowa (British), Captain Owens, of the Warren Line, 4,328 tons burden, sailed from Boston on Tuesday, Feb. 17, haviug on board a general cargo and 422 head of cattle, a crew of sixty, fourteen ,cattle men, four re- frigerator mon and one stow -away, total seventy-nine souls. All went well with her till Saturday, Feb. 21, and at noon on that day the ship's position was latitude 45.43 north, longitude 48.18 west. 5 p. m. -Wind north, moderate clear weather, long northeast swell, entered choppy ice. 7 p. m. -Thin field ice. 7:40 p. m. -Ice. -a little thicker, went dead slow from then till 11:40 p. m., pasted through more or less ice, and at midnight found the ship making much water: forepeak and forehold full. 12:30 a. ill, -Sunday 22nd found serious leaks in after cross bunker, tried to stop the leaks by hanging sails over the presumed holes ; got pumps to .work, but with no effect. The leaks gaining, and steered southeast to cross the track of vessels boend east or west. Swung our boats, watered and provisioned them. One man named Michael Dannelly, an able bodied seaman, was injured in so doing. At day light saw smoke to the south, steer- ed for it, and came up with THE STEAMER CHESTER, (British) an oil -tank steamer. The steamer Iowa was then listed heav- ily to starboard and water had got into No. 2 compartment and the situation was desperate. Had in- tended making for the Azores, but saw we could not do it. Lowered the boats and left the Iowa at noon in latitude 46 north, longitude 45:50 west. Captain Tolle, of the steamer Chester, treated els with the utmost courtesy and kindness. On Feb. 24 boarded the steamer Dominion (British), from Portland for:Bristol, and obtained provisions. We entered the ice in latitude 45.26, longtitude 47.25, and loft the ice in latitude 46.36, longtitude 49.20. The Iowa was sinking rapidly when abaudoued. Captain Tolle, of the Cheater, whu was seen' to day, made the following etatetlleuta. "We left Rotterdam for this port on Feb. 7. At 8 o'clock on tho wo'uiug of the 22nd we sighted a four -masted steamer, which seemed to be brokuo•down. We kept on toward the vessel. We made her out to be the Iowa, from Boston. bound to Liverpool. Captain Owens, of the Iowa, reported that he had been in the ice the previous uight, and was very badly injured. The steamer was still covered with ice, and ft large piece of canvas at the bow shower) where the crew had sought to patch up the injury to the vessel and slap the iuward flow of water. \eVe sigu'llled to the Iowa, oll'eriug assistance. Captain Owens report td that he wished to be reported and intended to proceed on the way to the Azores. We remained near the sinking vessel for a time, when it became apparent that she could nut longer retuaiu above water. We went alongside, and Captain Owens decided to ab tudou the craft We sent over four boats and transferred the crew to the Chester. "Among those rescued was a atewr.l'deea awl an injured sailor. The work of rescue was begun at 9 o'clock and coutiuued till noun, when we left the wrecked ship, tvhich was sinking at the rate of twelve inches in eighteen minutes, and iu all probability the Iowa went 70 the bottom six or seven hours after we left her. This was in latitude 461 north, longitude 46 31 west." A PATRIOTIC ORDER. Pittsburg Conmtercial: Within recent years there has been a very gratifying revival of popular interest in the anniversary of the birth of Washington. Several causes have contributed to this resnit, not the least of which have been the active efforts of the Junior Order of United American Mechanics. Since the separation of the senior from the junior order, now about twenty years, the growth of the latter has been most remarkable. It is cont• puaed of not've•buln Americans, be- twe`•b the ages of 16 and 50 years, and among its distinctive principles is the support of the public school system of the country. The total membership is now about 100,000, but it is growing rapidly, Pennsyl- vania being in the lead. It was in this order that the movement was inaugurated to have the American flag displayed over every free school in the land, and which promises the most beneficial results. Every school child in the labd should be made familiar with the National emblem and thor- oughly instructed in the important lessons which it conveys. The un- veiling of a monument to Washing- ton in ,the Allegheny Park yester- day, and its delivery to the city authorities as a gift from the Juniors, was the chief feature of the day's celebration in this vicinity. The project originated in Allegheny Council five years ago, but was soon after extended to include all the councils in Western Pennsyl- vania. The corner -stone was laid a year ago with appropriate ceremon- ies, and yesterday witnessed the successful consummation of the patriotic undertaking. DROPPED FROM THE SKY. AN EXTRAORDINARY PHENOM- 1NON. MADISON, Me., Feb. 25. -About 4:15 o'clock yesterday morning a large meteor, apparently about the size of a full moon, was observed iu the sky. It burst with a loud re- port over Madison village, blazing fragments scattering in every direc- tion. Houses were shaken as though by an earthquake, and hundreds of people were awakened from sleep by the concession, which reverberated for some moments, sounding like heavy, rolling thun- der, while the shooting particles seemed like so many flashes of lightning. AUGUSTA, Me., Feb. 24, -At two minutes before 4a. m. yesterday the sky was lit up with a dazzling brilliancy, such as was never be- fore seen in this State. Those awake saw a huge ball of fire fall from the sky and burst when near the earth. The glare was visible all over the State. No noise was heard except in Somerset County, where the people heard a rumbling as of an earthquake, and the more super- stitious thought the world had comp to an end. It is thought the meteor, which must be of unusual size, fell about twenty-five miles northwest of Madison. Searching parties have been sent out.
