One of the most laughable stories of a bovine kind that has ever tickled the ribs of the "only animal that laughs," is the one in which Mike Finck describes his ride in the "natural state," on Deacon Smith's Taurus. We defy a cynic, in fashionable trowsers, to Tead it and not burst a button or two off the places to which suspenders are hitched. It is simply "enormous." Mike took a notion to go in swimming, and he had just got his clothes off, when he saw Deacon Smith's bull making at him. The bull was a vicious animal, and had come very near killing two or three persons, consequently Mike felt rather "jubus." He didn't want to caM for help for he?was naked, and the nearest place from which assistance could arrive, was the meeting-house, which was at the time filled with worshippers, among wnom was tne "gai jiiKe was paying devotion to." So he dodged the bull as the animal came at him, and managed to catch him by the tail. He was dragged around till he was nearly dead, and when he thought he could hold no longer, he made up his mind that he'd better "holler." And now we will let him tell his own story. "So looking at the matter in all its bearings, I cum to the conclusion that I'd better let some one know whar I was. So I gin a yell louder than a locomotive whistle, and it wan't long before I seed the deacon's two dogs a coming down like as if they war seeing which wotiM get ther fiist. "I knowed who they war arter?they'd jine the bull agin me. 'So,' sez I, 'old brindle, as ridin' is as cheap as walkin' on this route, if you have no objections, I'll just take a deck passage on that ar' back o' yourn.' So I "warn't very long getting astride of him. . "Then, if you'd been thar, you'd have sworn thar war nothing human in that ar' mix, the sile flew so orfUlly, as the critter and I rolled round the field?one dog on one side, and one on the other, trying to clinch my feet. . "I prayed and cussed, until I couldn't tell which I did at last?and neither warn't of no use, they were so orfhlly mixed up. "Well, I reckon I rid about half an hour this way, when old brindle thought it war "Vo !? ? onrmlv nf wind and Ulllr W Bivp W vaivv IU w w. ? cool off a little, So when we got round to a tree that stood thar, he naturally halted, so * sez I, boy, you'll lose one .passenger sartin. So I jist clihn up a branch, kalkalating to roost till I starved, afore I'd be rid around that ari way any longer. "I war making tracks for the top of the tree, When I heard sumthin' a makin' an orful buzzin' overhead. I kinder looked, and if thar wasn't?well, thar'a no use in swearin'? but it war; the biggest hornet's nest ever bilt. You'll 'gin in' now I reckon, Mike, 'cause thar's no help for you. "But an idea struck me then that I stood a heap better chance a ridin' the bull than whar I was. Sez I, old feller, if you'll hold on, I'll ride to the nest station, anyhow, let that be whar it will. "So I jist dropped about him agin, and looked aloft to see what I had gained by changin quarters, and, gentlemen, I am a liar if thar warn't nigh half a bushel of the stingin' varmints ready to pitch into me when the word 'go' was gin. RWeIO reckon tfiey got it, for 'all hands' started for our company. Some of them hit the dogs?about a quart struck me, and the rest charged 1>n brindle. "This time the dogs led off fast, dead bent for the old deacon's, and as soon as old brindle and I could get under way, we followed, ! and as I was only a deck passenger, I had ' nothin' to do with steerin' the craft; if I had, ' we shouldn't have run that channel anyhow. "But, as I said before, the dogs took the lead?brindle and I next, and the hornets 1 directly arter. The dogs yellin'?brindle ' hollerin', and hornets buzzin' and stingin'. 1 "Well, we had got about two hundred ( yards from the house, and the deacon heard 1 us and come out. I seed him hold up his ' hands and turn white. I reckon he was 1 prayin' then, for he didn't expec to be called 1 for so soon, and it warn't long neither afore the whole congregation?men, women and 1 children?cum out, and then all hands went to yellin'. - 1 "None of them had the fust notion that brindle and I belonged to this world. I jist turned my head and passed the whole congregation. I seed the run would be up soon, ' for brindle couldn't turn an inch from a fence that stood dead ahead. * "\Vell, we reached that fence, and I went ashore, over the critter's head, landing on the other side, and lay thar stunned. "It warn't long afore some of them as was not scared, cum runnin' to see whar I war; foY all hands kalkerlated that the bull and I belonged together. But when brindle walked off by himself they seed how it war, and one of 'em said? " 'Mike Finck has got the scummage once in his life!' " "Gentlemen, from that day I dorpped the courting bizness, and never spoke to a gal since, and when my hunt is up upon this yearth, thar won't be any Fincks, and its all owin' to Deacon Smith's brindle bull." Mistook the* Article*?A young lady stepped into one of the street cars the other day and dropped her handkerchief upon a vacant seat, as much as to say, "taken," while she advanced to the other end of the ear,to deposit her fare. Meantime a nicely dressed young man jumped, in and sat down on the handkerchief without observing it. The young lady, after paying her fare, turned back, discovered to her chagrin her seat was occupied, and sat down opposite, the ladies making room for her. But she did not desire to lose her handkerchief, and so she looked intently toward the place where she had left it, hesitating whether to ask for ft or not. Discovering the direction of her looks, all eyes on the opposite side of the car were soon bent upon the young man. Finding himself the object of so much attention, he himself looked and discovered to his horror something white on which he sat, the end" peeping out. He mistook its character. To cover it with his hand, and to tuck it nicely away was the work of a few moments. None in the car but the young lady knew that the "something white" was a handkerchief, and hesitating still more to ask him, she lost it. 1 An Adroit Answer.?A well known clergyman made a visit to a well known | banker and asked to see him in a private room; /"I have come to you," he said, "with 1 a message from dear Jesus. I am in financial trouble and have been looking round for 1 somebody to help me out. I went to dear ] Jesus and asked him to send me some one who would help me. He named you. "Are ' you sure," said the banker, "that he mentioned my name?" "Oh, I cannot be ' mistaken about it." "I recollect." said the banker, "that when the Lord sent Peter to i Cornelius, he told Cornelius that Peter was j coming. I think that if the Lord had sent j you to me to get money, he would have in- j timated to me that he had done so. As he j has oot said anything to me on the matter, 1J must wait till I hear from him. 1 Wants Only His Own.?A Detroit law-! yer received a letter from Texas the other day j on which the postage stamp was of an issue I current fifteen years ago, and the envelope of which there was a request to "return if not delivered some time pretty soon." The con- j tents read: "Some time in the year 1700 a man by the ; name of Hooten took up two acres of grouud in your town. He "is dead. I am his heir, j I want to find out all about it. I want you to ' search the records and send me all the papers and information you can. If them two acres is there yet I want them. If not, I don't.'

The sick man was much affected, and said, "Well, parson, I think you're right, and I've made up my mind that if I get well, I shall, in the future, live principally honest. ?

Every one who has been in the East knows how beautifully rice is served, thoroughly cooked, yet the 'grains remaining separate and distinct and not in a sodden mass, as is too often the cas? at home. The following recipe has been giveu by a skill fill Japanese cook. It will be well to state that the Japanese rice-pot is only used for cooking rice; its peculiarity consists in a heavy wooden cover, which rests by its weight on the rim of the pot, so as to fit snugly and yet allow the steam to force its way under it. The rice is first washed thoroughly in cold water, rubbing hard with the hand till all the milkiness passes off and the water runs clear. It should then staud all night in water; the amount is indifferent. Next morning, as much water in which the rice has soaked all night, as there is rice to boil, is put into the pot on a quick, even, good fire, and when boiling hard the rice is added, and after stirring the cover is put on and must never be taken off till the rice is dished. As soon as thf> wntpr hoirins to boil again it puffs out freely from under the wood in cover, but when the water is nearly boiled away only faint suggestions of steam come out (the time occupied is from three to four minutes, according as the rice is old or new ; the old rice is better, being drier and takes the shorter time); the fire must then lie taken immediately from under the pot or the rice will burn, but the pot is left on the Tiirnace or range for fifteen minutes to swell evenly ; after which the pot is taken off* the range and left to stand ten minutes more in a cool place ; the rice can then be emptied from the pot without sticking to the sides or bottom. It must not stand more than ten minutes or the rice will become soggyr* When served, the lid is removed for the first time, and the rice will be found to be standi ng up, whereas if the lid has been lifted during the cooking the rice will be sunken. Since all these particulars cannot be easily followed in a foreign kitchen, it is well to note the three essentials: 1. The rice must be thoroughly washed, rubbing it hard, in several waters before boiling. 2. The amount of water used in boiling the rice is the same, by measure, as the amount of rice to be boiled?pint for -pint, or cup for cup. (It will be found almost impossible to cook a very small quantity of rice in this way). 3. When once the lid has been put on the pot, after stirring the rice in the boiling water, it must not he removed till it is ready to be served. If any American housewife is appalled by these minute directions, let her comfort herself by reflecting that to a Japanese matron breadmaking appears as bothersome, if not more so. TAKING COLb'. What do we mean when we say we have taken cold? In a literal sense we have done no such thing, and a modern writer has suggested that what is called "catching cold" would be better expressed by the phrase "catching heat." What actually takes place is something as follows: We expose some part of the body to a draft; the surface becomes chilled and the circulation, to some extent, is arrested; the blood and other fluids are sent in another direction. What should have been thrown out through the surface is turned in 011 the mucous membranes, and as these parts become congested sneezing takes place; there is an abnormal quantity of fluids thrown upon the mucous surfaces and the system makes an effort to get rid of it. This "taking cold" may be caused by sitting for a few moments* in a strong current of cool air; it may be the back of the neck that is exposed ; or it might be some other part of the body. Hdlding the hands in very cold water for a considerable length of Lime,will often cause one to take cold. Or sitting with cold feet will do the same thing, especially if the general circulation isYeeble. Clothing one part of the body too much and mother part too little will frequently give one a cold. Anything that arrests the free circulation of the blood and sends it on the mucous surface may produce this effect. The most frequent causes of all, perhaps, of taking cold is the. one stated?that of "catching heat." Sitting for hours in a room where the temperature is 80 degrees or upward and then going out into a colder atmosphere,frequently produces a cold. This is particularly the case where the air is not only hot, but impure. In fact, we think the impurity has more to do with it than the heat, and the two combined will rarely fail to cause on influenza or sore throat; sometimes a full fledged pneumonia. By exposing one's self to hot, foul air, the whole skin is for the time debilitated, and on reaching a cooler atmosphere the blood is driven from the surface and congestion of the mucous membranes will almost certainly follow; oithor thorp in a "rnld on the luners." or a sore throat, or there is an acute catarrh.? St. Louis Magazine. HOOD ATTENTION. During the next two months stock will need careful attention. The stock will need to l>e confined the greater portion of the time, and if they are kept in thrifty condition good care will be necessary. It is too often the case during the winter that because the stock are idle and confined in the stables, or sheds, it is not considered necessary to feed or water them with any regularity. But if the animals are to be left in a thrifty condition at the lowest cost, it is important that they be fed and watered regularly in the winter, more so than in the summer. In summer they can pick up more or less of their own living, but in the winter they must depend almost entirely upon what is supplied to them. During the winter 0112 of the best materials to use iu maintaining animal heat is good sound corn, and more corn can be fed during the winter than at any other time. And yet it shouid not be depended upon entirely. Stock need a change, and it must be supplied to them if they are kept thrifty. We have no material that supplies all the elements of nutrition in the right proportion, that if fed alone, will, secure the best growth aud thrift at the lowest cost. So, by furnishing a variety, what is lacking in one material will be made up in another. On the average firm there should be no difficulty in supplying a good variety if a little care is taken. Corn, oats, bran, oil meal, hay, straw and corn fodder will furnish a good variety from which complete rations can be made up. Care should be taken to feed regularly, making the intervals between feeding reasonably eveu apart; water regularly. Stock need water during the winter fully as much as in fhe summer, and care should be taken to see that they have a good supply every day. With horses, especially, good grooming is necessary. Keep the stock clean and comfortable by supplying plenty of bedding. It will aid in keeping them in better health, and will save feed. Stock should b? kept gaining during the winter as well as in the summer, and can be if proper care is taken.?The Republic. Celery.?Probably no class of people suffer more with rheumatism than farmers, and yet the remedy for this dreadful disease is, or should l>e, right at hand. If celery were eaten freely sufferers from rheumatism would be comparatively few. It is a mistaken idea that cold and damp produce the disease? they simply develop it. Acid blood is the | primary and sustaining cause. If celery is eaten largely, an alkaline blood is the result, I and where this exists there can be neither I rheumatism nor gold. It should be eaten cooked. Cut it into ' its and boil till soft, in as little water as possible. Add to this half j as much milk as there is water in the celery, j thickened with Hour aid seasoned with but-1 ter, pepper and salt. If you cook it nicely J and give it a fair trial, I am sure you will as j soon leave potatoes oat of the daily bill of fare as celery.

JWisiffUauMMS Reading, i The Last Confederates to Surrender.?According to a story in Mr. Albert Lawson's "War Anecdotes," the last Confederate did not surrender until fifteen months after Appomattox.. The story is that on the morning of the Fourth of July, 1866, the secretary of war, who had planned a fishing excursion at the falls of the Potomac, received a telegram from the provost marshal at Richmond, saying that a squad of Confederate soldiers were at his office ready to deliver up their arms and be amnestied. Knowing that joking of that sort would subject the perpetrator to court-martial, the secretary hastened to the White House to consult'with President Johnson. The re suit was a telegram to the provost marshal: "Who are they and where did they come I from ?" The answer was prompt and to the point: "Sergeant Tewsbury and guard from Dismal Swamp. Did not know the war was over." After a good deal of laughter, the provost marshal was ordered to receive their capitulation, which was conducted in due form. Tewsbury, an old Virginian, ordered his squad, a couple of Georgians, to give up their guns aud sign the.pgpwar reserving himself as the last m&n of all {fee Confederate forces to surrea'der..Jg|e old sergeant's description of ttie wr??|figfound out the war was over was amusirm^Mand his companions had been pofted ow?Rredga of the swamp to watch movements of thh Union troops from Norfolk, with- ocders to remain until relieved.

Bad Results from Lymph.?A New I Haven, Conn., dispatch of the 2d instant reports the following discouraging results from the lymph treatment: Mr. George M. Bradley, who was the first patient in this country to receive the lymph inoculation, died to-day, and a son of Professor Blake, another lymph patient who had been under the treatment for nearly two months, is at the point of death. Bradley was a man but little over 30 years of age and was not in an advaced stage of consumption when he began receiving the treatment ; previously he was not confined to the house, but during the treatment he was. During the last few weeks he suffered intensely, as the treatment had a distressing effect upon his throat, making it difficult and painful for him to take any nourishment. His physicians state that his death was undoubtly hastened by the condition of his throat, as his strength disappeared very fast because of his inability to take food. He had been receiving injections since very early in December.

A glimjise at the annual report of Treasurer Huston shows that the net ordinary revenues of the government amounted, during the last fiscal year, ended June 30th, to the enormous aggregate of $403,000,000, a sum but twice exceeded in the history of the government. The ordinary expenditures of the government were over $296,000,000, or nearly $1,000,000 for every secular day in the year. The post-office department alone required an expenditure of $67,000,000, and th?. transactions for which the treasury was responsible during the entire year, footed up to the fabulous amount of $1,321,000,000. This year, for the first time since the close of the war, the debt, less cash in the treasury, shrank below the billion dollar line. At the close of June last it amounted to a little more than $964,000,000. Tiie "Bai> Lands."?The Bad Lands of Dakota are composed of white clay, which, by the action of rains, has been cut into hillocks. They are not high, seldom more than forty or fifty feet, but it is up one and down another the whole way. There are no water courses, the nearest approach l>eing a gully forty feet deep, with a foot and a half of mud at the bottom. At every few yards you must stop, and, with spade and shovel, cut a path down the side of a hill in order to descend, and then up the side of the one opposite in order to get up again. The mud is as sticky as tar, and in going a few yards the wheels of a wagon become solid round cakes, and all the mules you can hitch to it will not be able to pull it a foot farther. Then the spades are brought and the wheels cleared, the operation being repeated two or three times in a hundred yards. The extent of the Bad Lands in Dakota is probably a hundred miles from north to south, by fiftoen to thirty miles wide. Early Printing.?In the infancy of the art of printing its results were comparatively very rude. The type used was intended to imitate writing, and partook of the character of gothic and script. In punctuating, no marks were at first used other than the period and colon ; an oblique stroke was afterward introduced, and fulfilled the purpose of our comma. Pages had neither running title nor number. Capital letters were not used to commence a sentence, nor in proper names. No rules seem to have regulated the orthogra, phy, and abbreviations were very numerous. I The first presses were fashioned after the | model of the common wine press. For a i short time the paper was printed on but one I side, the blank sides being pasted together. The only forms were the folio and quarto.? Lippincott. The Local Newspaper.?The local newspaper should be found in every home. No child should grow up in ignorance who can j be taught to appreciate the home paper. It is the stepping stone to intelligence in all 1" -i. ... t? i I most* llllllUM'S nut IfUl I1CU III UUUBf, Kill: your children a foreign paper which eon! tains not a word about any person, place or thing which they ever saw, or perhaps ever heard of, and how can you expect tlieni to he interested? But let them take the home paper and read of persons whom tliey meet, j and with whom they are familiar, and soon I an interest is awakened which increases with j every arrival of the local paper. Thus a J habit of reading is formed, and those chil dren will read the paper all their lives and become intelligent men and women, a credit j to their parents, strong in their knowledge ' of the world as it is to-day. i A (.Vaiors Cask.?Little Harry Yoeler, i aged > years, took a mouse from his pet cat. j Shortly afterward the hoy became deathly 'sick. His eyes swelled and shut and he suf1 fered terrible agony. He was fed a quantity 1 of sweet cream and a physician summoned, who pronounced him dangerously poisoned. After twenty-four hours of suffering the hoy was linally saved. The doctor says in hand DO YOU WANT IT ? IT is our purpose to mAke another change in 1 our already very liberal offers to club makers, | and we are convinced that the change will meet j with the approval of the friends of The En- i qttirer. It is now little a more than one month until the clubs will close for the present season, I a nd as an inducement to club makers to put in j some extra good work during that time, we have tn offer a snecial premium to the person who returns unci pays for the largest number of, subscribers, EITHER OLD OR NEW, Between I his date, FEBRUARY 4, and MARCH 9, at 1 p. in. The premium we offer is one FIVE DRAWER IMPROVED SINGER SEWING MACHINE. An accurate description of the machine will be found in another column, and the machine is everything that it is represented to bo. This premium is offered INDEPENDENT of fill other premiums, and if on the Oth of March it Is found thut the person who has returned and paid for the largest number of subscribers between now and that date, has also returned the argest number since our prospectus was Issued on the 21th of October, that person will receive, in addition to^flft Sewing Machine, the first premium of $50 IN CASH. If the person who is entitled to the Machine is found to have returned and paid for the second largest hat since October 29, that person will, in addition to the Machine, l>e entitled to the second premium of i $30 IN CASH, in,i if n,n rummi, who is entitled to tho Machine is found to have returned and paid for the third largest list of sul>s<:ril>erH since October 29, that person will, in addition to the machine, receive the third premium of $20 IN CASH. Jf the person who is found to be entitled to the special premium shall have returned SIXTY or more sulwcribcrs since October 29, including those for which lie receives this premium,' but fafltflQ receive either of the cash premiums, he , will be entitled to ANOTHER MACHINE, and ifTIIIRTY or more to a Machine and a WATCH. It will be seen that club makers run no risk in working for this extra premium. We are satisfied that there is still room for effective work along this line, and we trust that club makers will put in the best work of the season during the next THIRTY DAYS, and we hope that new workers will enter the field in competition for this premium, as they will be on an equal footing with old club makers, and it is well worth all the effort that will be necessary to secure it. Remember that EITHER OLD OR NEW Subcribers count just thesame in competition for this special premium. Enqkihkr is furnished to subscribers in clubs at ONE DOLLAR ANDSEVENTYFIVE CENTS a year.

It is used in every State and Territory and is heartily and enthusiastically endorsed by every former who has ever used it, and they are numbered by thousands. Practical farmers everywhere agree that it is, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, the most profitable implement for cultivating the soil and putting in grain yet invented. It increases the crops, saves time and saves lal>or. The Harrow is made of first-class maierial throughout, and with proper care will do good work for fifteen or twenty years, and will pay for itself a dozen times over. The wheels or disks are mude of the very best of steel, and will neither break, bend or crumble. The disks are not affected to any appreciable extent by rocks, and the Harrow will do good work on all kinds of land. The following are some of the points of superiority possessed by the Corbin Harrow : 1. It jh the only Disk Harrow that is perfectly flexible (i. e. one that will udapt itself to uneven surfaces). 2. It is the only Harrow in which the gangs are independent of each other?eitiier can tit or foli low an inequality without disturbing the other. 3. It is the only Harrow having cliilled lx>xes 1 * ?*? -AS Vvst 11 m ann ami-incnou umn. 4. It in the only Harrow that has a successful Seeder Attachment. 5.
