WEEKLY GAZETTE Established 1870. For Terms, see Fourth Page. A MODERN BASTILE. [Havana Letter to Boston Herald.] Who enters Castle Morro leaves all hope behind. To pass between its portals involuntarily, for any reason, is considered equivalent to a sentence of death, and many who have gone there can not even be traced beyond the iron doors. If any record exists of prisoners who enter the castle, common rumor lies, for it is generally said and believed that only in heaven are the books kept. No one on earth has ever seen them, and none ever know positively where they are. Some say that the records of arrest and confinement are sent to the Minister of Justice at Madrid. Others suggest that the daily reports of the Commandment are sent to Spain and destroyed after perusal. But, however it may be, the common understanding is that whoever enters Morro Castle loses his identity, and never comes out again, for the bodies of the dead are said to be cast over the parapets into the sea. This castle stands at the entrance to the harbor of Havana; a picturesque, but gloomy pile, massive masonry resting upon the crest of a rock which rises about 200 feet perpendicularly out of the seas. It is the point of a peninsula which embraces the harbor of Havana, and makes the latter, when once entered, as safe as any in the JUSTICE IN NEW ORLEANS. The "mistrial" in the case of Recorder Ford and four others, charged with the brutal and unprovoked murder of Capt. Murphy in New Orleans, will not increase respect for the administration of justice in that city. Murphy was politically opposed to Ford, though both were Democrats. While sitting on a door-step at noon in a public street, Murphy was suddenly surrounded by Ford, his brother, brother-in-law and two of his court officers, all of whom opened fire on the defenseless man. After Murphy was dead witnesses swore that Recorder Ford fired two bullets into his body. The murderers were all arrested, but Ford being a prominent figure in the ring politics of that State, his conviction was thought to be doubtful. The jury was said to be packed in the interest of the accused, which attracted unusual attention to the trial. One of the chief witnesses against Ford was looked up to secure his attendance. That witness was subjected to hardships in the prison from which he contracted disease, and he was allowed to die without medical attendance. The papers of that city have been unanimous in declaring that the case was proven against the accused. The Picayune says that it "has never known the community so unanimous in its judgment as to the guilt of persons accused of a capital offense as it has been in this instance." The States says that the evidence of guilt "was overwhelming, convincing and corroborative." But the jury stood eleven to one for a verdict of not guilty as to Ford. The presiding Judge, finding that Ford had been in communication with the judge, THE RHUBARB PIE. In June the medicated tropical fruit known as the rhubarb pie is in full bloom. The farmer goes forth into his garden to find out where the coy, old setting hen is hiding from the vulgar gas, and he discovers that this pie plant is ripe. He then forms a syndicate with his wife for the purpose of publishing the seditions and rebellious pie. It is singular that the War Department has never looked into the scheme for fighting; the Indians with rhubarb pie, instead of the regular army. One half the army could then put in its time codrt-martialing the other half, and all would be well. Rhubarb undoubtedly has its place in the materia medica, but when it sneaks into the pie of commerce it is out of place. Castor oil, and capicum, and dynamite, and chloroform, and porous plasters, and arsenic, all have their uses in one way or another, but they would not presume to enter into the composition of a pie. They know it would not be tolerated. But rhubarb, elated with its success as a drug, forgets its humble origin and aspires to become an article of diet. Now the pumpkin knows its place. You never knew of a pumpkin trying to monkey with science. The pumpkin knows that it was born to bury itself in the bosom of the pumpkin pie. It does not, therefore, go about the country claiming to be a remedy for spavin. Supposing that the gory, yet toothsome steak, that grows on the back of the twenty-one-year-old steer's neck, should claim for itself that it could go into a drug store and cure rheumatism and heartburn. Wouldn't every one say that it was out of place and daily reports of the Commandment are sent to Spain and destroyed after perusal. But, however it may be, the common understanding is that whoever enters Morro Castle loses his identity, and never comes out again, for the bodies of the dead are said to be cast over the parapets into the sea. This castle stands at the entrance to the harbor of Havana; a picturesque, but gloomy pile, massive masonry resting upon the crest of a rock which rises about 200 feet perpendicularly out of the seas. It is the point of a peninsula which embraces the harbor of Havana, and makes the latter, when once entered, as safe as any in the world. Covering many acres with its walls and dungeons, the castle is one of the largest and most formidable fortresses in the world, surpassing even Fortress Monroe in its extent. The present castle is not so ancient as some others on the island, as the English captured it and blew it up 100 years ago, compelling the Spaniards to spend a million or two dollars in its re-creation. Modern artillery would batter down the walls, but would make no impression upon the eternal rocks, among whose crevices and ravines the dungeons of the castle have been placed. There is no prison in Europe so secure from capture, either by exterior or interior attack, for the corridors constitute a labyrinth in which it is said the commandant himself needs a guide. No pen will ever record and no mind can ever correctly imagine the horrors which have taken place within those walls. The iniquities of the Inquiaition did not surpass them, if the stories that are told are true, and people say that the cruelties still continue. The life of every citizen of Cuba is the property of the Captain General, to be disposed of as he chooses, and he has chosen that many of them be spent within these castle walls. Nobody knows how large a number are in confinement; nobody knows who they are or what they suffer; all the public ever knows is that Senior So-and-So has been "denounced" and taken to the castle, and his friends keep mighty quiet last they may have to join him there. These Seniors so-soldom, if ever, come back from the castle, and it is better for his family and friends not to ask why. The castle is for political prisoners exclusively, and when we were over there our guide told us it was full. He showed us two places—a little parade round—where the executions take place, and the precipice over which the bodies of the dead are cast into the sea; but could give no clue to the number annually shot, or the number who die in the dungeons, and the officers and guards on duty were quite as uncommunicative, if they were not as ignorant. To all inquirers they have one answer. If you ask them how many prisoners are in the dungeons, the same reply will be: "Dios sabe" (God knows.) "How many ever come out alive?" "Dios sabe." "Do they ever secure release?" "Dios sabe." And the words were true. Heaven, and eaven only, knows all that has transpired within those gloomy walls. The officers on sardar are changed often, and while they say it is their business to learn as little as ships in the prison from which he contracted disease, and he was allowed to die without medical attendance. The papers of that city have been unanimous in declaring that the case was proven against the accused. The Picayune says that it "has never known the community so unanimous in its judgment as to the guilt of persons accused of a capital offense as it has been in this instance." The States says that the evidence of guilt "was overwhelming, convincing and corroborative." But the jury stood eleven to one for a verdict of not guilty as to Ford. The presiding Judge, finding that Ford had been in communication with the jury while it was locked up, entered the case as a "mistrial." Ford is still a Judge and the others accused are still court officers. The Mayor of that city has submitted an impeachment message to the Council. Five of the witnesses for the defense have been arrested for perjury. But it is doubtful if any harm comes to Ford. At this particular time the New Orleans people are unusually sensitive on the subject of political murders. This same Recorder Ford was a conspicuous agent in the last November election in committing to prison 500 colored men, arrested as vagrants simply to prevent them from voting. While 115 colored men were in the Recorder's court room watching to see what would be done with their friends who had been arrested, the doors were suddenly locked, and the colored men present were all committed as vagrants, and imprisoned until after the election. But that outrage passed unnoticed in New Orleans, except for the indignant protests of a few Republicans. Only recently the Tax Collector, J. D. Renato, who is known as the democratic boss, in company with the Registrar of Voters, went into a newspaper office to punish the editor for his criticism of them. Few persons acquainted with the men and the circumstances believe otherwise than that murder was intended; but the assailants got the worst of it, one of them being killed. The Mayor thereupon, according to a recent dispatch, suppressed the newspaper. Whatver may have been its character, that is a procedure that would not have been permitted in any Northern city. It is significant that the one juror who stood out for conviction in Ford's case was a colored man, while the other eleven jurors were white. Federal officials have frequently complained of the difficulty in getting white jurors in the South to regard a political murder as a crime. New York Tribune, Feb. 12th. Extensive Decorations An English policeman arrested a man who was climbing a lamp-post for the avowed purpose of getting a drink. It was found on searching him that he was very handsome tattooed from neck to heels, among his decorations being a ship, a house, pigeons, an anchor, a hay-stack, fishes, trees, a man driving sheep, a pig, the union jack, the Prince of Wales, a Highland girl dancing, a Highland soldier, another soldier, flags and bayoneta, a drum and sticks, a pile of shot, several guns, pipes, a jug and glasses, an ensign, sailors, a cross, a woman waving gin and aspires to become an article of diet. Now the pumpkin knows its place. You never knew of a pumpkin trying to monkey with science. The pumpkin knows that it was born to bury itself in the bosom of the pumpkin pie. It does not, therefore, go about the country claiming to be a remedy for spavin. Supposing that the gory, yet toothsome steak, that grows on the back of twenty-one-year-old steer's neck, should claim for itself that it could go into a drug store and cure rheumatism and heartburn. Wouldn't every one say that it was out of place and uncalled for? Certainly. The back of the tough old steer's neck knows that it is destined for the mince pie, and nature did not intend otherwise. So also, with the vulcanized gristle, and Arctie overhoe heel, and the sheostring, and the white button and all those elements that go to make up the mince pie. They do not try to make medicines and cordials and anodynes of themselves. Rhubarb is the only thing that successfully holds its place with the apothecary and yet draws a salary in the pie business. I do not know how others may look at this matter, but I do not think it is right. Still you find the medicated pie in the social circle everywhere. We guard our homes with the strictest surveillance in other matters, and yet we allow the low, vulgar pie plant pie to creep into our houses and hearts. That is, it creeps into our hearts figuratively speaking. The heart is not, as a matter of fact, one of the digestive organs, but I use the term just as all poets do under like circumstances. Many, however, will always continue to use the rhubarb pie, and for those I give below a receipt which has stood for years—one which results in a pie that frosts and sudden atmospheric changes cannot injure. None but the youngest rhubarb should be used in making pies. Go out and kill your rhubarb with a club, taking care not to kill old and tough variety; give it a chance to repent. Remove the skin carefully, and take out the digestive economy of the plant. Be specially careful to get off the "furry" coating, as rhubarb pies with hair on are not in such favor as they were when the country was new. Now put in the basement of cement and throw on your rhubarb. Flavor with linseed oil and hammer out the top crust until it is moderately thin. Then solder on the cover and drill holes for the copper rivets. Having headed the rivets in place, nail a zinc monogram and silently tie the pie slowly. When it is cooled, put on two coats of metallic paint and adjust the time-lock. After you find that the pie is impervious to the action of chilled steel or acids, remove and feed it to the man who cheerfully pays for his whisky and steals his newspaper. A Genius for Finance Rev.

In default of seven shillings, he was sentenced to hard labor for seven days, the magistrate making no question as to the justice of taxing works of art. The Cheapest Way The Boston Transcript says of Indian education: "It has cost in time of actual war about $1,000,000 to kill an Indian. To train and educate that Indian for a period of five years would have cost less than $1,000. The support and maintenance of a single soldier of our army involves an annual expenditure of about $1,000 from the treasury. The average expenditure each year in feeding, teaching and clothing each Indian, and providing the necessary accessories and helps to civilization, is but $25. Of this a very large share is from funds belonging directly to the Indiana, so that there is an annual expenditure outright of funds from the treasury, not already belonging to the Indiana, of but $7 per capita, or less than two cents per day." Foundlings in France France has 30,000 foundlings. The abandonment of so many children is due to an iniquitous statute in the French code, which is all to the advantage of the stronger and to the disadvantage of the weaker sex. For the support or acknowledgment of a child not born in wedlock, no man is legally responsible. The mother alone has to hear, not only the eduans, but also the financial expenses connected with the fault she has committed, unless the father prohibits his paternity at the marriage in which one he is bound to maintain his offspring. A law to do away with the injustice has been before the Chamber of Deputies for the past two years; but the legislative machine works at such a slow rate that several more women may clap before it is passed, although this majority of the Sangladesh as well as Deputies are known to be very much in its favor.

A Genius for Finance Rev. Dr. J. P. Newman delivered a very entertaining lecture at the Howard-street Methodist church, San Francisco. The subject of the lecture was "Jerusalem," illustrated with large stereopticon views. While the doctor was describing the tomb of David, he said that he had no doubt that great treasure was buried in the tomb, as that was the custom in those days. Dr. Newman then related the following story: "While in Saratoga last summer," he said, "I met a venerable Hebrew and I asked him how he accounted for the fact that all Jews got wealthy. He replied the Jews were the chosen people God had given them the talent of finance. He then illustrated this by the following anecdote: A wealthy Jew was on his death bed, and called his only son to his side. He told the young man that he had but one request and that was that $2,000 should be placed in his coffin when he died. The son with tears in his eyes promised to carry out his father's last wish. But when his father died, he failed to place the money in the coffin. A few days later a friend met him in the street and asked why he looked so sad. The young man said that he had not done as he promised his father. His friend replied at once that that was easily mended, as the grave might be opened and the money placed in the coffin. The young man replied joyfully that he would follow his friend's advice. A few weeks later his friend met him again and inquired: "Did you place the money in the coffin?" Yes. Was it gold? No. Was it silver? No. Was it greenbacks? No. What was it? asked the friend in astonishment. "I put in my check payable to my father's order," was the answer. A little pair of gloves that yet retain the smell of clover. And just a touch of unguentate... I turn them vaguely over. And wonder how the girl I knotted. That might she promised to be true. Could join a number seven flat. Into a pulp number two. We however don't wonder because we in the Sangladesh will probably learn nothing and never complain.

SCARLET PEVER. [The Sanitary Engineer.] Scarlet fever is spread by contagion—by the transfer of particles of living matter from a person suffering from the disease. These particles of living matter come from the skin, from the membrane living the mouth, now, and throat, and perhaps also from the intestines and urinary organs. It is a disease which it is specially desirable to prevent the occurrence of in young children, partly because the susceptibility to its cause diminishes greatly with increase of age, and partly because it is much less dangerous in adults. There is reason to question the wisdom of using costly and troublesome methods of preventing the spread of measles, because the susceptibility to the cause of this disease remains in adult life, and it is, if anything, more liable to result in dangerous lung complications in advanced age than it is in children; but there can be no doubt as to the wisdom of restricting the spread of scarlet fever as much as possible. The precautions to be taken when a case occurs in a house are in many respects the same as for a case of diphtheria, viz., to isolate the patient in an airy room having the least possible amount of furniture. The room should have no carpets or curtains, and no upholstered furniture, such as sofas, lounges, stuffed chairs, etc. All the secretions and excretions, and all articles soiled by them, should be disinfected thoroughly and promptly while they are yet moist. A special and important precaution is to keep the whole surface of the body thoroughly anointed with some bland fatty matter, such as camphorated oil, vase- HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Lemon Drops—Lemon drops if made at home furnish fun for children; squeeze the juice of any six lemons into a basin, and add sugar until you can hardly stir the mixture; set the basin into a mesopotamus of boiling water, and let it cook for five or six minutes. Then drop from a spoon upon thick paper; they will harden at once. PAN-AWAYS ON SOUTHERN BISCUTTER—Emb four ounces of batter into one quart of flour, sifted, add a saltspoonful of salt and make into a paste with one-half a pint of milk. Knead well, handling lightly, and roll out till they are as thin as paper and the size of a common cancer; stick here and there with a fork, and bake in a moderate oven until they look flaky and white. BEATEN BISCUTTER—One tablespoonful of butter and lard mixed, one egg, one quart of sifted flour, and one teaspoonful of salt. Make up with half a pint of milk, or, if milk is not to be had, plain water will answer; beat well until the dough blisters and cracks; pull off a two-inch square of the dough; roll it into a ball with the hand; flatten, stick with a fork, and bake in a quick oven. TABLE DECORATIONS—It is said that bright-colored satins are not now fashionably laid on the center of the dinner table; that dark plush scarfs, undecorated, but edged with a heavy silk cord, are more popular. In one fashionable house the floral decoration is confined to small ferns growing in pure white vases upheld by cupids of the same colorless substance, other fanciful designs being utilized for these same receptacles. A new fancy is to lay the thin and narrow slices of bread in the serviette. EVERYTHING. Services in the churches of Thomas have been discontinued, owing to their small porch.

The room should have no carpets or curtains, and no npholstered furniture, such as sofas, lounges, stuffed chairs, etc. All the secretions and excretions, and all articles soiled by them, should be disinfected thoroughly and promptly while they are yet moist. A special and important precaution is to keep the whole surface of the body thoroughly amounted with some bland fatty matter, such as camphorated oil, vase-lin, or cosmolin, and especial care should be taken to do this when convalescence has set in, and the peeling off of the skin has commenced. All toys, books, etc., handled by the child are dangerous, and had best be destroyed in the room by fire or by putting them into a vessel containing a strong solution of bichloride of mercury or of chloride of zinc. No clothing, bodding, towels, or other woven staffs should be taken from the room while dry; they should be placed in a tub or wash boiler containing scalding hot water, and thoroughly boiled before they are allowed to dry. When the peeling of the skin has entirely coased, the patient should be thoroughly bathed—using warm soap and water—be dressed in entirely fresh clothing, and the room and its contents should be thoroughly disinfected. The average period during which complete isolation of the patient is required, and during which he should not go out of his room or receive any visitors, is five weeks. Usually six weeks will be required to acquire absolute freedom from danger. The walls and ceiling of the rooms should be rubbed with damp cloths, which should be at once burned or boiled. The floor and all woodwork should be thoroughly scrubbed with soap and water. The windows, fireplace, doors, and all other outlets of the room be tightly closed, and sulphur be burned in the room in the proportion of one pound of sulphur to each thousand cubic feet—that is, if the room is fifteen feet square and eleven feet high, about two and a half or three pounds of roll brimstone will be required. Put the brimstone in an iron kettle, and place the kettle on a tray of sand three inches thick, or on a platform of bricks; pour a wineglass of alcohol on the brimstone and set fire to it, leaving the room immediately, as the fumes are dangerous. Let the room remain tightly closed for twenty-four hours, then open all windows and the fireplace, and let the fresh air circulate in it for from twenty-four to forty-eight hours. A Cure for Headache The Physicians' and Surgeons' Investigator says a solution of the bi-sulphide of carbon is a specific for certain kinds of headache, particularly those of a nervous nature. A white-mouth, glass-stoppered bottle is half filled with cotton or a fine sponge, and upon this two or three drams of the solution are poured. When occasion for its use occurs the mouth of the bottle is to be applied to the temple or as near as possible to the seat pull off a two-inch square of the dough; roll it into a ball with the hand; flatten, stick with a fork, and bake in a quick oven. TABLE DECORATIONS — It is said that bright-colored satins are not now fashionably laid on the center of the dinner table; that dark plush scarfs, undecorated, but edged with a heavy silk cord, are more popular. In one fashionable house the floral decoration is confined to small ferns growing in pure white vases uphold by cupids of the same colorless substance, other fanciful designs being utilized for these same receptacles. A new fancy is to lay the thin and narrow slices of bread in the serviette. A white satin ribbon is tied around the whole, and a spray of ferns and white flowers laid above. A SIMPLE WAY OF PREPARING BONED TURKEY OR CHICKEN. — Ingreients: A chicken or turkey, seasoning, bread crumbs, and a quarter of a pound of butter. Boil the fowl in as little water as possible, until the bones can easily be separated from the meat. Remove all of the skin, slice and mix together the light and dark parts; prepare a dressing as for roast turkey, put upon the fire to melt the butter, then mold into a round ball and put the meat all around it. Boil down the liquid in which the turkey or chicken was boiled; then pour it on the meat; wrap it tightly in a cloth, press it with a heavy weight for a few hours. When served it is cut into thin slices. BALTIMORE OYSTER PIE. — Make a good puff paste, grease the bottom of a baking-dish, cover it with paste, then season two quarts of raw oysters (without the liquor) with spices to your taste; add a quarter of a pound of butter and a heaped teacup of grated bread; put all together in the dish, then cover it with your paste, out in strips, crossed or otherwise ornamented, as your fancy suggests. A pie of this size will bake in three-quarterts of an hour, if the oven is in good order; if the heat is not quick, allow it an hour. If in baking the crust is likely to become too brown, put a piece of paper doubled over it, and the desired color will be retained; when taken from the oven, if it should look dry, pour some of the liquor that was drained from the oysters in the dish, having previously strained and boiled it. As pastry always looks more beautiful when just from the oven, arrange your dinner so that the pie may be placed on the table as soon as it is done. Small-Culture The taste for snails as food is growing in France. The mollusksa says a writer in the Popular Science Monthly, are regularly cultivated in some parts of the vine-growing districts of the country, but the greater part of those with which the markets are supplied are raised in the Department of Aude. Toward the end of the summer the snails are picked up and collected in small parks which are made in a corner of the garden or field, and are surrounded with an enclosure of sawdust and dry briars, which is stocked with aromatic plants. The park must be regularly visited, particularly in rainy weather, to drive in estrays. Toward the end of fall, bunches of moss and dry flowers have combined to resist the expulsal process. A German paper states that eggs must kept perfectly fresh for a year by rushing them with vaseline which has been mixed with three-tenths per cent. of salicylic acid.

A wile-mouth, glass-stopped bottle is half filled with cotton or a fine sponge, and upon this two or three drams of the solution are poured. When occasion for its use occurs the mouth of the bottle is to be applied to the temple or as near as possible to the seat of the pain, so closely that none of the volatile vapor may escape, and retained there four or five minutes or longer. For a minute or so nothing is felt, then comes a sense of tingling, which in a few minutes—three or four usually—becomes rather severe, but which subsides almost immediately if the bottle be removed, and any redness of the skin that may occur will also quickly subside. It may be reapplied, if necessary, several times in the day, and it generally acts like magic, giving immediate relief. A Terrible Family Affliction The family of Bernard and Mary Farrell of San Mateo, have been distressingly afflicted. On the 16th inst. their son, Thomas M., aged over twenty-five years, died. His death was followed by that of his sister, Kittie G., aged thirteen years and six months. Subsequently another son, Peter F. C., aged eighteen, and another daughter, Clara Josephine, aged a little over twelve years, died, making four deaths in the family from apparently the same disease, within one week. The mother also was taken down at the same time and was very low, but now is said to be convulsent. Health Officer Dr. J. L. Maares and Dr. Buckley of San Francisco were called in consultation by Dr. J. R.

The mollusks, says a writer in the Popular Science Monthly, are regularly cultivated in some parts of the vine-growing districts of the country, but the greater part of those with which the markets are supplied are raised in the Department of Aude. Toward the end of the summer the snails are picked up and collected in small parks which are made in a corner of the garden or field, and are surrounded with an inclosure of sawdust and dry briers, which is stocked with aromatic plants. The park must be regularly visited, particularly in rainy weather, to drive in estrays. Toward the end of the fall, bunches of moss and dry leaves are scattered around, in which the snails may hide themselves after they have closed their abella. The animals are then captured, packed and sent to market. The ancient Romans cultivated these gasteropods on a quite extensive scale. Their parks were large and surrounded by water, so that the snails could not escape, and an abundant supply of moisture should always be at hand. At fattening-time the animals were put in earthen pots pierced with holes and rubbed on the inside with flour mixed with wine. Some of them grew to be very large. The Romans liked snails because they provoked thirst, and gave an excuse for drinking wine. Cure for Rheumatism.
