SATE THE WATER.
A Litt> Item on the Wnr af Gaad IJvhii u
a Cheap Kate.
In telling the readers of the New
"York .S 'uii how he supports a family of
three in good style on $lO a week salary,
and always, has money in the bank,
■“John Short” gives this item : And if
any one supposes that cheap living con
fines one to a limited bill of fare it is a
mistake. There are any number of very
acceptable adjuncts to the cuisine of a
man on a small salary. There, for in
stance, is macaroni and cheese. I un
derstand the dish was invented for a
king, but even if so it will be found
very satisfactory to a republican, for it
is a palatable dish, and no mistake. And
cheap. I buy macaroni for twelve
cents the single pound, or ten cents by
the quantity. Half a pound we find
quite enough to use at a meal. As for
cheese, we uso grated green, or sapsa
go, in preference to Parmesan, and pay
twelve cents a cake for it. A cake will
last about three pounds of macaroni.
With those articles and some nice gravy
Jennie produces an attractive supper
dish for ns three at an expense not ex
ceeding eight cents. And lam sure no
well-regulated man will quarrel with
macaroni and cheese. But steam it.
Never bake it. That is barbarous.
Steam it well; saturate it with gravy;
bestow on it a piece of butter, and dust
your cheese well through it. So, also,
at an expense so trivial that* it would
surprise a novice, we diversify our bill
of fare with oddities in the "shape of
fried sliced apples; fried sliced toma
toes, cut thick, well seasoned, and fried
brown; stewed German celery; heart
and stems of cabbage leaves, cut in
lumps and served with drawn butter, a
good substitute fof that delicacy, Brus
sels sprouts; barley currys, fried carrots,
and so on, from two to three cents’worth
of the raw material of any of which will
form an attractive and palatable addition
to a meal for three.
Out of respect for the direct wish of
Mrs. Short I must take time to mention
corned beef water. I know many
throw the water they boil the beef in
away, but we would sooner think of
throwing away the beef itself, I believe.'
We buy corned beef at eight cents per
pound, and always boil it in lots of
water, with onions, potatoes, and some
times cabbage or turnips. I always
want soup for dinner; nnd that corned
beef water, from the pot of a boiled
dinner, makes a delicious bowl. Not
only tliat, but it will keep making you
nice soup for three days or so. You will
have much more than you can consume.
Save it. Then, when you want a bowl
of nice soup take such quantity ns you
intend to use, and cut and boil an
onion or two nnd a few potatoes or small
Eieces of cabbage in it, and there you
ave, at short notice, a nice soup, when
properly seasoned. And at what ex
pense ? From one to three cents.
Caught in a Bear Trap.
About a week ago a resident of Antoine
street who lias a fine wood-pile at the
back of his lot discovered that some per
son was helping himself in the most lib
eral manner. Instead of loading a stick
with powder, or of posting himself to
watch, he set a large bear trap where ho
thought it would do the most good.
Nothing came of it the first night, but
soon after midnight of the second a great
noise was heard at the wood pile, and
the citizen roused out of bed to find that
he had a victim. It was a colored man
about 40 years old, and he was taking on
in the most energetic manner. Nothing
was said until the jaws of thj trap were
sprung back and his leg periled
Then he sat down on a leg and coolly
observed:
“I reckon you is kinder curus to know
how I cum to be cotched in dat trap ?”
“ Well, yes,’’
“ Has you bin missiu’ any wood
“About half a cord.”
“Well, dat wood was tooken by my
nex’ doah naybnr, an’ it went agin his
conscience so much dat he axed me to
bring back what he hadn’t burned. I
toted it ober heah on de sled, an’ was
pilin’ it back when dat b’ar-trap jumped
fur me an’ gin me sich a shock dat I
specks to tremble fur a hull week.”
“Well, you can*go, but the next time
you come you may find a spring gun de
fending the wood-pile.”
“Dar won’t be no nex’ time, sah.”
“I think you’ll find it cheaper to buy
your wood.”
“Looks dat way, sah—looks ’zactly dat
way, though I tink I’ll hole on till 1
knew whether you lias de only b’ar-trap
in dis sard, or whether dar am a sort o’
placque-craze an’ eltory family am stock
in’ up to coteli a nigger !’’—Detroit Free

The Rnssian General Skobeleff.
Skobeleff has been called the poet of
war ; perhaps it would bo more accur
ate to define him as the military Byron
of Russia. A more daring, a more in
subordinate, and a more original mind it
has not been the fate of Europe to see
for many a long day. If we want to
find his equal it is almost necessary to go
back to the times of Charles XXL, for
we shall not find him within the limits
of our conventional nineteenth century.
He delighted in battle, yet confessed
frequently that it was not the bubble
reputation, but a soldier’s grave, which
he sought at the cannon’s month. He
went forth to battle clad in his newest
and brightest uniform, mounted on his
famous white charger, and having his
white cap in the air. Skobeleff was a
wonderful military artist. He must
have studied the soldier closely to have
acquired so accurate a knowledge of his
heart. On one occasion, at the third
battle of Plevna, he met his troops fly
ing panic-stricken back to the camp.
On seeing him they drew up and saluted.
“Ah, my fine fellows,” he exclaimed,
“yen have fought like lions!”
The troops recovered their self-re
spect. Seeing the effect his words had
produced upon them, Skobeleff pre
tended only to have discovered that they
were without their muskets.
“Where ore your muskets?” he
shouted. No one dared answer. “Cow
ards ! Ido not want to command such
dogs as you. Come, pick up your mus
kets, and follow me at once 1” and, pro
ceeding in the direction where the Turk
ish fire was thickest, he put them
through their facings as though they
were raw recruits drilling in the quiet
back yard of a provincial barrack. When
-they had gone through their evolutions,
he led them against the enemy, and not
•one of them thought of running away.
A lady stood patiently before the re
ceiving teller’s window in a Broadway
bank die other day, but no one took any
notice of her till she attracted the atten
tion of the money-taker by tapping with
her parasol on the glass. “ Why don’t
you pay attention to me ?” she said pet
ulantly. “I’m sorry, ma’am, but wa
don’t pay anything here. Next window,
please,” was the polite response. —New

Hen. Coster’s Death.
The Miles City (Montana) Journal
■ays:
We have received a communication
from Hunley from an old trapper, guide
and scout, who for many years has lived
among the Indians of the Northwest. He
claims that Custer died fighting, that he
did not commit suicide, and that the
Indians did not know him after he fell.
As there are some new points in the let
ter which have never before been pub
lished, and as we believe the writer to
be sincere in what he writes, we publish
herewith a synopsis of the article. He
says: “I have been requested to write
to the Journal what I know of Gen. Cus
ter'sdeath, and my knowledge of William
Cody. In 1876 I was with Gen. Crook,
on Goose Creek, when the Custer fight
occurred. Cody was with Gen. Merritt
on Platte Piver somewhere. Cody never
saw the Custer battle-ground. He can
not speak the Indian language, nor talk
the sign language; that I am sure of.
He joined us with Merritt’s command on
Goose Creek, and we met Gen. Terry on
the Rosebud and marched in company
to the mouth of Powder River. There
Cody left the command and went to the
States. He has been there ever since, I
believe. Asa scout nnd prairie man he
is seventy-five degrees behind nothing.
I have talked to the Sioux about the death
of Custer, and they knew nothing about
him, only that he was killed. There was
no * massacre ’ about the fight. Custer
attacked the camp and got cleaned up
through the cowardice of Reno. Gen.
Custer was a favorite with all prairie
men ; too good a man to be killed in the
manner in which he was. For my part,
I believe Custer was killed in battle,
fighting like a ‘little devil,’and likely fell
long before the battle ended. ‘ Curley,
the only survivor, a Crow Indian, knows
nothing about Custer’s death. Ido not
believe there is a man living, red or
white, who knows how Custer died.”
The Peacock and the Oyster—A Fable.
One day an Oyster set out to cross a
neck of land to save himself a long swim
around it, and as he journeyed along the
dusty highway, content with the weath
er, the climate and his surroundings, he
suddenly hoard a harsh voice crying out
for him'to halt. As he rolled into the
shade of a pigweed, a Peacock advanced
with lordly strut and demanded:
“ How, now, sirrah ? Where are you
going, and what is your errand ? ”
“ I’m simply crossing from water to
water, and tired enough I am. I be
lieve I have been three good hours mak
ing half a mile.”
“Three hours? Why I could strut
over the distance in three minutes! Ah,
me, but you don’t amount to much for
size.”
“No; a child can swallow mo at a
gulp.”
“And you aren’t the least bit pretty.
" That’s tine. My shell is coarse and
full of ridges.”
“And you can’t sing ? ”
“Not n note.”
“Nor fly ?”
“ Not a fly.”
“ Well, well, I really pity you. Now,
then, if you want to see something
gaudy, just gazo on me.”
The bird strutted up and down, head
up and tail spread out, and the Oyster
was compelled to say that it was a sight
to do sore eyes good.
“ While you creep I walk, strut and
fly.”
“Yes.”
“ While you whisper I sing.”
“Yes.”
“ While yon tumble around in the
mud and sand I reflect all the colors of
the rainbow on the lawn.”
"tX'mntjtlWus iMt,” uighed the Oyster.
“And, while a pig-weed shelters you,
it takes a whole apple tree to givo me
shade. Y'on see— ? ’
And the Oyster saw. An Eagle had
been looking for a breakfast. The hum
ble Oyster, hidden away under the weed,
escaped his piercing glances, hut the
gorgeous Peacock was instantly seen
and spotted. There was a whirr, a
scream, and the Eagle hud ascended
with the vain-glorious bird fast in his
claws.
“Come to think it all over,” said the
Oyster, as he squinted his larboard eye
aloft, “ it is about os well to be an oyster
under a pig-weed ns a peacock in the
claws of an eagle. I guess I’ll move
on.”
Those who were born to stmt should
not exult over tiioso who were bom to
creep. —Free Press.
- Rapid Growth of a Colt.
A yearling colt of Mr. Robert Bonnei’s
celebrated breeding stud, in Westchester
County, New York, weighs 1,002 pounds,
and yet is fine iu all his points, and
promises to turn out a fast trotter. Mr.
Bonner thinks he gets this early excep
tional size from an experiment he tried
w'ith his dnm. Before the colt was
weaned, he says lie had the mother
brought up from pasture every night,
and fed six quarts of oats; and since the
eolt has learned to eat he also has been
fed abundantly with oats, in addition to
goodjpasture in the summer and hay in
winter. Following np this system, North
ern horse breeders may get the same
size at as early an age as is now ob
tained in our Southern States and the
milder winters of California. In the lat
ter country there is good pasture all win
ter, and the colts receive no check in their
growth, as in common with all kinds of
stock unless they receive extra care dur
ing the rigorous winters of the Northern
States. Mr. Bonner’s treatment of this
colt is the same as that pursued by En
glish breeders of race horses. The dam is
not only fed an abundance of oats, but
the colt is also taught to eat them just as
so oit as possible, which he learns to do
at an early age from the same trough as
his mother. At six months old—the
general age for weaning the colt—he has
learned to sustain himself well on grain,
grass, and hay, so that when weanea
there is no check in his growth, but he
keeps steadily along the same as when
sucking his Asm.—Rural New Yorker.
The Star Business.
The nearest of the fixed stars is twenty
trillions (20,000,000,000,000) of miles dis
tant from us. The next in distance is
four times farther removed If we at
tempt to fix an average distance for the
surrounding group of fixed stars nearest
our system, we could not safely give it a
radius of less than 400 trillions of miles.
Yet what does this involve? Light,
which reaches us from the sun in eight
and a half minutes, would take seventy
years in its journey across this vast
domain of space. If the volume of space
included within our solar system were oc
cupied with one huge sphere 0f5,600,000, -
000 miles diameter, even such a mighty
mass would be but as a floating feather in
the marvelous spread of empty space
surrounding. This space would contain
twenty-seven hundred trillions of such
spheres, and would contain the ma
terial contents of our solar system
a number of times indicated by the figure
6 with twenty-two ciphers annexed.
The Toys of Our Boyhood.
The boys of to-day would have a very
poor opinion of the toys that amused us
when we were young. We 'can hardly
find any of the old-time toys for sale in
this luxurious age. Our children would
doubtless turn up their noses at the
primitive toys that amused their fathers
—the Noah’s ark with its painted win
dows and red roof that lifted up with a
hinge, old Noah with a blue coat and a
tendency to tumble down and damage
his wooden features, and his wife with
green legs, a figure built on the chum
pattern —we used to knock them in end
wise through the roof, and drop them
down into the cellar with the elephant,
the crow, and the kangaroo, and fasten
all up securely by locking the roof with
a piece of wire.
And then there wa3 the wooden sheep
with wool glued on his back, and the
pasteboard cat, and the spotted china
dog, and the tin cow with the wooden
tail, and the horse that was mounted on
wheels; how constantly they became un
glued, and how rapidly they tottered into
old age and decrepitude; but we en
joyed the possession of these monstrosi
ties, and thought them the perfection of
human iugenuity. We treasured these
caricatures of the animal kingdom, and
wo honestly believed that we got a great
deal more enjoyment out of them than the
children of to-day get out of the modem
scientific toys that work by steam and
electricity, and that, are constructed with
some consideration for natural appear-
ances.
The little flat books that had pictures
in red and yellow and green, of A was
an-nreher-that-shot-at-a-frog, and B was
a something or other that did something
else equally absurd. What treasures
this linen-paged literature seemed to our
unsophisticated minds; and it exasperates
us now to see the calm indifference with
which our children treat the finest speci
mens of the lithographer’s and wood en
graver's art that appear in the many
publications now prepared especially for
the young folks. This is an age of pro
gress and luxury, but we question whether
a boy can get more fun out of the self
cocking toy pistol that carries a real ball
and cartridge, and will burst and blow
all his fingers off, than his predecessors
got out of the primitive popgun that dis
charged nothing more dangerous than a
paper wad.
A Blockade Story.
Late in the fall of 1862, says M. Qnad
in his stories of blockade running, the
British schooner Francis loaded at
Nassau and made for the coast of Florida.
Just as she had sighted the coast a fish
boat gave her the information that a
Federid gun-boat was cruising in those
waters. The schooner kept on her way
until night fell, and was thou becalmed.
Presently a curious incident occurred.
The gun-boat had been looking into
somo of the inlets and had not seen the
schooner. Two hours after dark she
steamed slowly out to within a quarter
of a mile of the schooner and then shut
off steam and extinguished her lights.
Those on the schooner could at first
make her out with a night-glass, but
presently a fog arose and shut out the
view. The night was still and the sea
perfectly smooth, and those on the
schooner could only wait and hope that
a breeze would spring ,np during the
night and enable her to creep away.
In a calm one vessel is a magnet to
draw another. They will slowly drift
toward oacli other in every case, instead
of separating. Iu this instance those
on the schooner soon discovered that the
crafts were drawing together, but they
were powerless to prevei’W'At midnight
they could hear fcTio talk of the men oh
the gun-boat, though the fog was too
tliick to see anything. At one o’clock
the vessels softly rubbed each other, and
remained broadside on, ns if lashed
together. .The Federals had simply to
clamber ever the rail to capture the
schooner, and the chagrin of her crew
can be imagined, but not described. In
half an hour after her capture a breeze
sprang up which would have carried her
thirty miles before daybreak.
Why He Didn’t Vote,
The following is an unreported exami
nation, says an English paper, that took
place before one of the commissioners
appointed to inquire into a certain elec
tion petition:
“What is your name ?”
“George Jones.”
“Well, what do you know of this ?”
“On the day of the election I went to
the ‘Spotted Dog.’ ”
“What did you do there?”
“I soo’d a man.”
“Well, what did he do?”
“He gave me five shillings, and said as
how I was to vote for Mr. X.”
you vote for Mr. X.?”
“Well, did you vote for Mr. X.?”
“No, sir.”
“What did you do then ?”
“Went on to the ‘Pig and Whistle.’”
“Well—there ?”
“There I see’d another man.”
“What did he do ?”
“He gave me five shillings, and said I
was to vote for Mr. X.”
“And did you vote ?”
“No, sir.”
“What did you do then?”
“I went on to the ‘Red Lion.’"
“And there ?”
“There I see’d a man, too.”
“And did he give you five shillings
and tell you to vote for Mr. X?”
“He did."
“And did you?”
“No, sir.”
“Why, on yonr own admission, you
obtained fifteen shillings to vote for one
of the candidates. Did you not vote at
all?”
“No, sir.”
“Why not?”
“Because I ain’t got no vote; it’s my
father, George Jones, who’s an elector.

Prckllng Children.
An English author, writing of Oriental
matters, among other curious Arab prac
tices, says : “A strange domestic prac
tice prevails among the Bedouins, not
those in villages, but those of the wan
dering class ; they pickle their infants,
after three days old, in strong brine. I
learned that it was a habit consecrated
to them, by a long antiquity, and it is
based upon the notion that the process,
which extends over several hours, im
parts a hardness to the tender skin. The
immersion is said to be fatal to delicate
babies.' Be the effect of the pickling
what it may, however, no labor is wasted
on the children in the way of washing
them afterward. They are suffered to
grow up in utter ignorance of the cleans
ing virtue of water, the superstition be
ing that the Evil Eye might lie at
tracted to their comeliness. According
ly, I have seen them with regular crusts
—thick deposits—of dirt on the tops of
their heads, and their eyes full of flies."
A German lately married says : “Id
vas yoost sc easv as a needle cooa valk
out mit a camel’s eye as to get der be
hindt vord mit a voman’s.”

pecially of a c srta'n Spavin Cure. We have
had dealings with Dr. Kendall for many

with him for many years, and the truth is
fully aud faithfull/ proven, uot only that ha
is a good honest man. and chat this celebra
ted Spavin Cure is not only all that it is
recommended to be, but that the EngVsh
language is not capable of recoinmen ling it
too highly.)
Keuded's Spavin Cure will orfre spavins.
Tnete are hundreds of cases in which that
haß been proven to our certain knowledge,
but, after all, if any person confines the use
fulness of this celebrated medicine to curing
spavins alone, they make a big mistake. It
is the best medicine known as an outward
application for rheumatism in the human
family. It is good for pains and ache*, swel
lings and lameness, and <s just as safely ap*
plied to men, women and children as ills to
lioises. Te know that there are other good
liniments, but we do believe this spavin
care to be far better than auy ever invented.

Advice to Young Men,
“Be somebody on your own account*
my son, and don’t try to get along on the
reputation of your ancestors,” says Bur
dette. “ Nobody knows- and nobody
cares who Adam’s grandfather was, and
there is not a man living who con tell the
name of Brigham Young’s mother-in
law.” The lecturer urged upon his.
hearers the necessity of keeping np with
the every day procession and not pulling*
back in the harness. Hard work never
was known to kill men; it was the fan
that men had in the intervals that killed
them. The fact was, most people had
yet to learn what fun really was. A man
might go to Europe and spend a million
dollars and then recall the fact that he
had a great deal more fun at a picnio
twenty years ago that cost him just six
ty-five cents.
The theory that the world owed every
man a living was false. The world owed
a man nothing. There was a living in
the world for every man, however, pro
viding the man was willing to work for
it. If he did not work for it, somebody els®
would earn it and the lazy man “would
get left” There were greater oppor
tunities for workers out West than in the
Eastern cities, but men who went ont
West to grow up with the country must
do their own growing. There was no
browsing allowed in the vigorous West.
An energetic man might go out into the
far West and in two or three years pos
sess himself of a bigger house, a bigger
yard, a bigger bam, and a bigger mort
gage than he could obtain by ten years'
work in the East. All young men ought
to marry, and no young men should envy
old men or rich men. In conclusion, Mr.
Burdette said that a man should do well
whatever he was given to do, and not
despise drudgery. The world wants good
shovelers, teamsters and laborers, but it
does not want poor lawyers, poor preach
ers, or poor editors.
A Parson’s Text.
The Rev. Brooke Hereford, of Boston,
doesn’t like to be interrupted when he
is busy writing a sermon, and so the
other day, finding himself somewhat
behindhand with his preparation for the
coming Sunday, he retired to his study,
giving implicit orders that he was not to
be disturbed by visitors, no matter who
might call. Pretty soon came along the
antograph fie—, that is, a lady who was
collecting autographs and favorite texts
of Boston preachers, for a charitable ob
ject. She was so importunate that Mrs.
Hereford at last went to the study door
and tapped. “Brooke?” “Yes?”
“There’s a lady down stairs, and ”
“But, my dear ” “I know, Brooke,
but she only wishes your autograph
and favorite text, for dear charity’s
sake.” Hereford yielded, and dashed
down his name and the reference’, Ist
Timothy, v., 13, on a sheet of paper.
There was a grim smile on his face as
he handed it to his wife. She took it
down to the visitor, and she, in turn,
went away rejoicing. But when, in re
viewing her treasure, she looked up Mr.
Hereford’s text, she read : “And withal
they learn to be idle, wandering about
from house to house; and not only idle,
but tattlers also, and busybodies, speak
ing things which they ought not."

the last returns were made, 6,524, while
in Prussia the number of breweries lias

Leitcli Ritchie, in his “Travels in.
Ireland,” relates the following incident j
“ One man, whom I saw sitting on the
ground, leaning his back against the
wall, attracted my attention by a degree
of squalor in his appearance, which I
had rarely before observed even in Ire

ever, with the males—and his face was-*
pale and sickly. He did not

The Reason He Wanted to Sue.
Some time since an Ohio paper got
after a manufacturing concern, and gave
it such a showing up that the President
went to a lawyer and said he wanted to
begin a libel suit.
“What has the paper said?” asked the
attorney.
“Why, that we have never paid a divi
dend.”
“WelJ, have you?”
“N-o, but it said we couldn’t pay our
hands.”
“And you haven’t for the past two
months, have you ?” ,
“I can’t sav we have, but it salu our
stock was down to 14, the concent
mortgaged, and bad management would

“Isn’t it all so?”
“Confound it! Yes, and that’s what
I want to sue for!” yelled the indignaal
