Old Tim Beaseley, of Coffee county, Tennessee, came to Chicago the other day, 1 says a writer in the Arkansaw Traveller, I for the purpose, as he declared, of finishing s his education. "You see," he said to a i hotel clerk, in answer to a facetious remark i made by that resplendent gentleman, "I t fit through the war, had the break-bone 1 fever in Texa9 in '86, wa9 flung down and s rftfttledinto a loblolly by a feller that was i a-rimnin' for the legislator', passed through t a season uv hog cholera, come putty nigh s sgeezln' my head off with a new-fangled ; c baa cold that the doctor called hay fever? 11 went through all that, an' then 'lowed that' < Wy^pdycation was about finished, an' I t recKoAT wbnlder stopped right thar ef our , i county jedge hadn't er told me that I'd 11 hatter see this yere town before I could [} make my book9 balance with any sort of 11 credit to myse'f; so wife she stuffed a few i uv mv duds Inter a carpet-bag, baked me t up a few pones of co'n broad, put a tract? i trnU? TTm1?? rvf TntnniM in m\r quIo. \ XUO UtIU Ut 1U11JUIHJ iu IUJ uiuu pocket, kissed me, an' turned me over ter t the especial care uv the Lord." ? "Yoa'il.meeftflspecial care of supernatu- s ral bowers if you stay in this city," the t clerk replied* * . 1 , "Yas,I reckon so, an'wife she 'lowed 1 ao, too." t "You must look out for sharpers." > "Yas, that's what I'm goin' to do the c vervfupt thing.!' ? When Beasley had gone out, the clerk, c speaking to an acquaintance, said: ? "We can have some fun with that old c feaow," ? "How ?" i "You noticed his big silver watch, didn't 1 you? Well, suppose you follow him s around to-night, and if he happens to get 1 out of the crowd go up to him and a9k the s time. Then, when he takesout his watch, i snatch 1t away from him and bring it ^ . here." * f "That would be a good idea, but I'd ? rather you'd do it." s "There is no danger," said the clerk, a "Why, before he could recover from his f surprise we could have his watch in the 1 drawer, here. You 9tand watch for me ? after awhile, and I will work the old fel- c low. I would like to have a photograph c of the expression that will come over his 1 face when he realizes the loss of his watch, i Such a picture could be sold for a large c amount of money." c , The hour was growing late. Old Beas- t ley stood on a street corner. " There were j no saloons in the neighborhood, and con- i sequently there were no policemen. A 1 man, wearing a slouch hat, approached a Beasley, and said: c "Mister, will you please tell me what c time it is?" "/? va? that. Time is a mighty . cheap article with me." * Beasley took out his watch with one s hand, but with the other hand he took out ? a pistol. "Hold on, now; don't get skeered. c Don't try to run away, for if you do I'll ? shoot* you, sho. Now, let me see. Pod- J ner, it is now fifteen minutes ter twelve. J Does that suit you ?" 1 "Yes, sir." " 'Bout ez good time ez you ever seed, J I reckon." : "Yes, sir." : "Like to own this watch, wouldn't you ?" [ "Sir?" f Beasley repeated the question. 1 "Yes, sir," said the man. J "Well, you shall have it. You shall 1 trade yourn fur it." . 1 "Hold on, now (Beaseley held up the 1 pistol.) Don't try*to get away, fur if you 3 do I'll hurt you, sho. Take off your watch. J (The man obeyed.) Now, here, take ; mine." : When Beasley went into the office of the J hotel he found a clerk with a solemn face. [ "Wall, I'm gittin' along putty well," said the man from Tennessee. "Cleverest,folks . up here I ever seed in my life. I thought c the folks down in Nashville was good, but v these folks lay over any I ever seed. W'y, I tell you what one of 'em done. Found > out somehow that I had a ole bull-eye 4 silver watch, an dinged efhe didn't give i me a gold one fur it. Best folks I ever * seed." t The clerk did not reply. His countenance was sad, and his nervousness be- < spoke great anxiety. "Here," said old Beasley, taking out a * gold watch and putting it on the counter, "gimme my sun-regulator." ( Nothing to Eat.?A careful housewife, t who prides herself on "setting a good 1 table," often acts as if her "company" had < come to see her for no other purpose than to ?et something: to eat. She makes such t an ado over the dinner that a sensitive f guest is tempted to say that he will never ( repeat a visit which causes so much trouble. c A gentleman went with a few friends to 1 visit a family iving some distance in the ? country. The mistress of the house was a * famous cooir, and noted for her hospitality. J When the unexpected guests arrived she * greeted them most cordially, but professed ( to be greatly chagrined because, as she s said, there was "nothing to eat in the house." "Here, Bobby," she cried to one of her t boys, "you run and kill three fat Chickens. Mary, bring up a ham from the cellar. I c declare, I'm clean out"? i "Now, please don't go to any trouble on our account," said one of the guests. J "No trouble at all?not a bit. But I de- t clare if I'd only had word you was comin', t I'd got up something fit for you to eat. } Mattie, you run down cellar and bring up { a jar of them peach preserves and one of spiced pears and a can of cherries, and a t glass of currant jelly. You'll have to take what J've got on hand, for I"? "Now, Mrs. H ," urged one of the . visitors, "please don't"? "Well, well, I'll try and piece you out a bite of something in the shape of a dinner, : though I ain't got but two kinds of pie in . the house. I declare, if you folks don't go . home hungry I'm mistaken. Seems as 4 though I never icas quite so put to it to get up a dinner." _ A Series of Misfortunes.?An Englishman of the last century, Sir Thomas 1 Robinson by name, was famous for nothing * but being a great bore. He made a great 1 many visits, and sometimes many public 1 men had to resort to. all sorts of expedients to avoid him. At the house of a certain -j high official where he called, the servant's J announcement, "My master and mistress are out," often had no effect on him. "Oh! well," he-would say, "I will just drop in and have a chat with the children." 1 Sometimes he said he "would have a talk 5 with the parrot," or "I'll just take the op- ( portunity of setting my watch by the great * clock on the staircase." \ Ore morning, when it was really impos- 1 sible to admit him, Sir Thomas appeared \ bright and smiling, at the door. The servant looked down from an upper window. 1 "My mastor and mistress are out," said the servant, as soon as he saw Sir Thomas. ] "Ah! Well, I'll just step in and" ? "The children are all asleep, sir!" "Indeed? Well I'll"? \ "The parrot is dead, Sir Thomas !" 1 "Ah ! that's bad. At any rate I'll"? ' "The clock is stopped, sir ! It's not going since last night." ? Completely battled, the tiresome gentleman was compelled to withdraw without getting in. _ , Not a Regular.?In a country village ] not ten nines irum vjuafiguw, a awccy auu a candy-man had taken refuge for a night in a barn-loft above the meeting-place of the Salvation Army. One night they all met for the purpose of worship, and the captain began to preach, which awakened the sleepers in the loft by his saying, "O Lord, blow thy horn, that we may hear." The sweep listened, and said to the candy-man, "If he say3 that again, blow your horn." It was repeated, and the candy-man blew his horn. The captain of the army then said, "O Lord, show thy face, that we may see you as you are." The sweep, hearing this, shoved his head out of the thatchhole, the look of which ' soon emptied the place, as they thought it j was the devil. Among them was an old, ) decrepit woman, who could not get out soon enough, and cried out: "Don't meddle me, don't meddle me, ; for I am not a reg'lar attender." S&- A lady tells this: "We needed eggs ' one morning, and old Maggie was sent to the grocery to get some. Later in the day Maggie volunteered the general remark that 'eggs is high.' 'Are they ?' I ' replied. 'How much?' 'Forty cints a j dozen, mum. Sure I'd be after buying no eggs at that price, mum, and so I borried them of the neighbors.""?[Buffalo Ad- , vertiser. _ "Poor Jenny!

A horse can be made to "fret its life out" iy the inadvertency of man. Many agood lorse is sold as worthless because it is ipoiled by bad management. Most drivers use the lines and whip the horse too nuch, and are too careful about having iny object come in contact with the animal, earing it will frighten the beast. 1 will limply give my own plan. I familiarize ny horse to being hit unexpectedly about ;he body, back and legs, and teach it to stop short when spoken to, even if a vehi:Ie is crushing down at its heels. Some fiink this cannot be done, but I have failid to see the horse yet that cannot be faniliarized by right management if the vork is commenced early enough or before ricious habits are formed. A lady eighty rears of age has driven a spirited horse of nine over extremely hilly roads, with 10 hold-b&ck straps or irons upon the hills, and in perfect safety. I take special >ains to hit my horse?carefully at first? vhen not expecting it, on different parts of he body,ana to push the buggy against it, ind dangle the thills about the legs and illow the vehicle to run agalnst.it until ;he animal learns that it is not to be njured by these sudden attacks. It is a >ad plan to talk to a horse, in what some erm a quieting tone. A tremulous voice vill awaken suspicions, and agitate instead >f quiet. A strong, positive whoa, with t firm drawing in of- the reins, will bring i steed to a stand-still?after training? md attract its attention from whatever toneerned it before. It will become so iccustomed to the obedience of voice that t will come to a sudden halt if rods away. Che owner should drive the animal himelf, generally, and instruct others as to lis manner of management when neceslary to change drivers, and insist that the nethod be adopted. Never whip a horse vhen he is frightened or nervous, or try to orce it up to the object that has caused the tlarm; draw in on the reins suddenly, peak out with assurance that you are not Lfraid, then, turn the animal a little away rom the unpleasant sight and bid it go. in an instant all is forgotten. A blow of i whip upon a frigthened hor3e gives it louble cause for violent action, and if it iont't run it's a fool. A naturally timid lorse may be made passive by familiarzing it with all sort of strange sounds and Iueer looking objects. The most spirited :ity horses seldom get frightened at anyhing they hear or see. In loading never )ut on more than the animal can pull readly. Good fitting harness and reasonable oading, with right mastership, are proofs igainst balky horses, i. e., animals thus lared for will never know other than obelience. Sewing on Buttons.?"When I get a >right idea, I always want to pass italong," aid a lady, as she was watching a young firl sewing. "Do your buttons ever come >ff, Lena?" "Ever!" They're always doing it. Dhey are ironed off, washed off, and pulled >ff, until I despair. I seem to shed butons at every step." "Make use of these two hints when you ire sewing them on, then, and see if they nake any difference. When you begin, >efore you lay the button on the cloth, put he thread through, so that the knot will >e on the right side. That leaves it under he button, and prevents it from being voru or ironed away, and thus beginning he ldbsening process. Then, before you begin sewing, lay a arge pin across the button, so that all rour threads will go over the pin. After rou have finished filling the holes with hread, draw out the pin, and wind your hrand round and round beneath the but on. That makes a compact stem, to susain the pulling and wear of the buttonlole." "It is no exaggeration to say thai ray rattons never come off, and I'm sure your's vont if you use ray method of sewing." How to Extinguish Fire.?An inteligent physician said to me a few days ago, 'I think I can give you a good item," and replied that I was always on the lookout or useful information. He then said that le had studied the subject very carefully, rad was convinced that it would be well or every house to keep its own fire extinguisher, and it could be easily done. It ,vould certainly be invaluable to persons iving in the country and far removed iven frou neighbors. The doctor then old me that he would give me the exact *ecipe of the solution now used in the fire ixtinguishers now being offered for sale: rake twenty pounds of common salt and eu pounds of sal ammoniac, (muriate of immonia, to be had of any druggist) and lissolve in seven gallons of water. When lissolved it can be bottled and kept in each oom in the house, to be used in an emergency. In case of a fire occurring, one or ;wo bottles should be immediately thrown vith force into the burning place so as to >reak them, and J;he fire will certainly be ixtinguisnea. rnis is an exceeuingiy liraple process, and certainly worth atrial. We give it, hoping it may prove successul to any who may take tne trouble to ry it. Over-Eating.?It is a decree that while :ivilized man cannot live without dining, te might live a great deal longer without to much dining, or rather without dining to extensively. Sir Henry Thompson says hat he has been compelled by facts to think hat more mischief in the form of disease ias accrued to civilized man from errone>us habits in eating, than from the use of dcoholic drink. He also declared himself 0 doubt whether improper and inordinate mating were not as great moral evils as inirdinate drinking. Many of our best phylicians say that the habit of over-eating is it the bottom of most troublesome diseasjs. Doubtless this hahit is most often laid n childhood. How many mothers feed heir babies as often as they cry, taking it or granted, in the most imbecile manner, hat her baby cries for food, when more )ften the helpless little victim cries because it already has had too much food. When the stomach once becomes accus:omed to being crowded with food, if the supply is cut short there is at first a gnawing sensation that is frequently mistaken tor hunger.. Persevere a little longer in pour abstinence, and you will find yourself benefitted by it.?[Hall's Journal of Health. ?aTlt seems strange that at this age of he world anybody should think of bringing up girls without having them acquire some means of self-support. And yet we iften see a whole family of girls who read 1 little, play a little, aud do a little family svork, and other things about half way, blissfully unconscious of any ability to ?arn a cent even if they were starving. Fhey are expected to get married, but are not even taught housekeeping and sewing. Dh, what recklessness for their future happiness and prosperity! No girl's education is "finished" till she has a knowledge )f some trade or business which will enible her to support herse'f. And she canaot even be a lady in the best sense, without that ability.?[The Housekeeper. Planting Sweet Potatoes.?Nothing is gained by very early planting of sweet potatoes, except to insure a larger area from a given sized bed by drawing and setting the first slips that appear and getting them out of the way of the next crop. Slips planted out in April require more jultivation and rarely produce so well as those planted in May and June. The ground for the first and each successive planting should be kept in mellow condition by occasional plowing and rebedding. By no means should slips be set out after i rain until the beds have been freshened t>y rebedding, or ai least listing. Slips set in a sodden bed rarely do well.?[Southern Cultivator. ^ ? I Preservation of MEAT.*-The Journal P Agriculture states that itis customary in LTpper Saone, France, both on farms and :n villages, to preserve meat in summer by placing it in large earthen pans or pots illed with curdled milk, or even with skimmed milk, which soon curdles, and storing the vessels in the cellar. In order ,o keep the meat beneath the surface of ?he milk, it is loaded with clean stones. Meat Is preserved in this way for over a week without the least change in its flavor. When it is needed for use, it is simply washed and dried. The milk is fed to swine.?[Scientific American. Chicken Lice.?Mix one-half ounce of parbolic acid with a gill of fresh lard and rub some of the mixture well into the breast and body, and under the wings ol the mother hen. Do this just at night. Coal oil may also be used on young chicks if used sparingly. Dip the linger in the pil, and just touch the nead and under the wings. If care is taken to have the hen md her chicks come from the nest free from lice and the coop is well dosed in evary crack with coal oil, the chicks will not be troubled with lice. In this case, as in many others, prevention is easier than jure.?[Prairie Parmer. ^i.scfUanrous Heading. WHAT OF MAINE ? As Maine is quoted by both parties, and made to do service in the interest of prohibition and anti-prohibition, wo introduce an unimpeachable witness. Hear him. The venerable Dr. Cyrus Ilamlin, whose name is the synonym of all that is noble and wise, has recently expressed in the New York Observer his knowledge of the operations of constitutional prohibition in Maine. Heis an expert witnesi and should be given entire credence. But he best ' speaks his own strong and discriminating words: | "I am a Maine man; and I know the ; State, north and south, east and west, and J the 'experience of Maine' is before me and i before the world. There is not a distillery nor an open, undisguised drain-shop in the State of Maine. What is there in this that should frighten Boston believers in j total abstinence ? The farms in Maine are | generally free from mortgages, the houses I are painted, shade trees are cultivated, tne ! roads are good, the people are temperate, j industrious and happy. What is the matj ter with Maine? Oh there is drunkenness and rnm-selling there still, and worse than ever. A big lie is made out of a very small amount of truth. There is rum-selling as there is thieving in the cities. But it is driven into secret places. It is carried on by the vilest and basest of men and fallen women. The grip of the law is not tight enough yet to stop it entirely, but the State is saved. Nineteen-twentieths are delivered from the curse. The curse creeps and wriggles and hisses in places foul and festering with all moral fllthiness. But it should be remembered by all the advocates of the Maine law that it doe? not undertake to interdict drunkenness at home. You may be as drunk as you please at home, and, if you can keep from killing wife and children, and from other outrages, the Maine law does not concern itself about you. It proposes to stop the manufacture and sale of intoxicants in the State of Maine. That work it has done gloriously, though not to the satisfaction of certain conservative temperance men. They must be a curious set. They are probably in harmony with him who was in favor of the law, but against its execution." A Champion Liar.?We had a man named Burrows in our raining camp, and he was without doubt the most notorious liar that Nevada will ever shelter. His fame as a liar spread for a hundred miles around, and men used to stop at our camp to get a look at him. He wasn't a wicked man, and he had no malice abouthim, but he was a natural born liar. He lied about his father, his mother, his wife, brothers, sisters, and everybody else, and for every hour in the day he had a new falsehood. He had a claim of his own and was fairly industrious, and so we had no excuse to drive him out, although his lies were continually kicking up ill-feeling among the men. One day a lot of earth and rock caved in on him and innictea ratal injuries, and a number of us knocked off work to be with him in his last moments. You would have thought the shadow of death would have brought a change of sentiment, but it did not. Lying there with only an hour of life left to him, he told us that he had been a pirate on the Pacific and where he had buried a large amount of plunder. We all knew that he was from Ohio and had never seen any ocean ; but he stuck to it. One of the men finally felt it his duty to say: "Burrows, you have only a short time to live. You had best spend that in preparing for eternity." "I've always been good," he quietly replied. "Yes, but you are an awful liar, you know." "Yes, I suppose so. I've tohl a million of them ; haven't I?" "No doubt of it." "And every one has been laid up agin me?" "Very likely." "And my chance is rather slim ?" "Rather." "Well, boys; it's my way and I can't change at this late day. Just as the cavein came I struck a nugget as big as ray head. It would value up a clean $1.1,000. II you'll ue Kinu enougn to pun n, out arm sell it and send the money to my wife I'll die feeling better." He went off soon after that and we said to each other that he had given us the greatest yarn of all. No one took his claim, which was accounted a poor one, and it lay for three months before one of the boys dag into it one day for the pickaxe buried and forgotten. He hadn't got the pick when he came across a lump of gold that balanced $13,280 in coin, and every shilling of the money was sent on to the widow, as directed. It got there to find there was no widow, but six months later went to a sister. In his dying hour Burrows told the truth about his find, but, alas! he repented of it and lied about having a wife.?[New York Sun. Governor Gordon and Ex-President Hayes.?From an interview with Governor Gordon, of Georgia, published in the New York World, a day or two after the centennial celebration, we take the following: Said Governor Gordon: "I have always felt that justice to President Hayes was not accorded by either party. It was my fortune to have opposed his inaguration to the last moment, and as long as there was any hope of inaugurating Mr. Tilden. But after his inauguration I had been asked by Gov. Hampton, who had been elected, but not inaugurated, in South Carolina, to remain in Washington and look after the interest of that State. "The condition of South Carolina at that time was deplorable and alarming. There were in the house of representatives two legislatures, each claiming to be the rightful house of that State. One was a negro legislature, the other white. Upon the same speaker's stand sat two speakers?one white, the other black?both with gavels in their hands. Through the corridors and around the capital were United States troops. "This double body sat night and day, week after week, and there was constant danger of a bloody collision, the result of . which no man could predict. It therefore became a matter of great consequence that this condition of things should be altered and that the United States troops should be removed, leaving Gov. Hampton to take the seat to which he has been chosen. "I made an appeal day after day and week after week to President Hayes to sign the order removing the troops. Finally, after along and laborious ettort and in the face of opposition by his own party followers, ho said to me, using language of this import, which struck me as worthy of any man, who ever tilled that high seat: "(Jen. Gordon, if I take this action, my own party will not sustain me, nor will your party uphold my hands. On the contrary, the Democratic party will be glad of the opportunity to strike a blow when I am deserted by any portion of my own party. The action, however, is right and I shall sign the order, knowing that my course will cause me to fall between trhe two parties." "I repeat," continued Gen. Gordon with much emphasis, "that such courage, such singleneas of purpose to discharge a high obligation without reference to personal consequences, have always impressed me with the belief that great injustice had been done u good and brave man." ? The King of Slam is supposed to own the people, and each man in the realm has to serve for three, six or nine months as a servant of the government. At a certain time of the year the entire population is marked off to particular noblemen, or government masters. These masters are required to furnish workmen for government, and the men under them must obey. All kinds of work are demanded. Some men are required to give all their ! time to the government, and in this case I they get nominal salaries. Those who give half their time work for the king tlf- ! ] teen days, and then have fifteen days off. j ' The three months' subjects get no pay,} : and during the time they are in Bangkok j they have to find themselves food and I j lodging.
