Alleu, whe was then governor of Louisiana, de scribes the depeudence of the people upon him, and the unceasing efforts tc keep them from starvation. A friend stepped into Allen's office at Shreveport, and found the governoi seated before the fire, between twe couutry-women?soldiers' mothersall three taking a comfortable smoke with their pipes. Allen was too courteous a gentleman not to conform immediately'to the custom of "ladies.' So, as he rather enjoyed a pipe, he would join them very socirlly. His companions nan a iripie ciaim upon him?they were women, soldiers mothers and Louisianians. "Well, governor," said one of his callers, "we come to bother you again you are such a friend to us poor women. Now, governor, we got the corn you sent us; but we ain't got nc hoes and no plows to plant with." The governor took his pipe from his mouth, and turning to the secretary said: "Mr. Halsey, gives these ladies ac order for a plough and two hoes, free of charge." "But, governor," they continued, "we want some meal and molasses." "Mr. Halsey, give the order for these articles." The women received the orders, knocked the ashes from their pipes, shook hands with Allen, and started out of the door ; but halting at the door, said : " 1?1? Weil, govemer, we uute uv? uvmci you so much. You are the best man alive. We are all going to name our next grand-children after you; but we forgot, we want a well-rope and a? Pig"Ladies," said the governor, kindly, but with a perceptible smile curling round the corners of his mouth, "you shall have the well-rope ; but at present we are out of pigs."

"Oh, that, my dear," he answered, beaming over his spectacles with the good nature of superior wisdom, "is known as argon." "Oh!" "Yes, its discovery is one of the most remarkable triumphs of the age. It has revolutinized some of the old theories, or at least it will revolutionize them before it gets through." "What is it?" "It's?er?a?did you say, 'What is it ?' " <4T cniH t.Vini',." "Well?ahem?you see, we haven't as yet discovered much about it except its name."?Washington Star. A Slight Misunderstanding.?A lady employed a young girl about 15 years old, to assist her about her house work, and one day she was making some cake, and wished to put some kind of plums in it; so she set a dish down on the table with some plums, and told the girl to stone them, and to show her, she took up a plum and took the stone out, with the remark? "That is the way." Then, thinking the girl understood what she meant, she put the plum she had into her mouth, instead of the dish, and went away. WThat was her surprise a short time after, to have the girl come into the room where she was and tell her she bad eaten all she could. When the lady went into the room where she had been at work, she found she had put all the stones into the dish, and eaten all she could of the plums; she thinking that the hard pieces?meaniug the stones?would soften up when baked in the cake. The Lawyer Solved it Quickly. A famous lawyer once had a singular case to settle. A doctor came to him in great distress. Two sisters, living in the same house, had had babies oi equal age, who so resembled each other that their own mothers were unable to distinguish them when they were together, and it happened that by the carelessness of the nurse the children naa necome mixen. now were iue the mothers to make sure that they received back their own infants'? "But, perhaps," suggested the lawyer, "the children weren't ehauged at all." "Oh, but there's no doubt that they were changed," said the doctor. "Are you sure of it?" "Perfectly." "Well, if that's so. why don't you change thera back again? I don't see any difficulty in that case." Setting Hens.?In answer to a correspondent who wants to know "How to keep hens from setting," a Western editor thus rises and explain* There are several very good ways. One plan is to make them into pot pies about 17 days before they exhibit any such evidence of chicken-heartedness. Another good way is to watch the hen and when she begins that peculiar clucking, indicative of a desire tc matriculate, wash her in sweet milk, put mustard poultices on her feet and hang up by the neck in a dark clothes press for 93 or 94 hours. Should the demoralized biddy be cut down before the time for setting, she will probably set out for some other locality. Another good way would be to read the riot act; then, if they will not disperse, wallop them gently over the head with a brick, shoe, chunk ol stone or a horsehoof with the shoe on, and if the old hen won't behave herself, why?le t her set!

Joseph Bonaparte, ex-king of Spain and Naples, and elder brother of the great Napoleon, lived for a number of years at Bordentown. He and Commouore Stewart were close friends, and it was on the advice of the latter that the Frenchman made his home for a number of years on the bauks of the Delaware. One day a workman of Rnnanarte's was attacked so violently with neuralgia that the attending physician said he could not live more than a day or two, uuless he obtained relief. The sufferer had the agonizing ailment all through his body, and was in such torture that death would have been welcome. At this crisis the proverbial old woman appeared, and the poor fellow, by her directions, was swathed from head to foot in the common burdock leaf. Twenty-four hours later he resumed work in the hayfield. Sometime afterward neuralgia siezed Stewart's right leg, and forced him to bed. He suffered excruciatingly, and when Bonaparte sent the same woman to him he told her he would submit to any experiment that held out hope. The woman came with an armful of burdock leaves, from which she had removed the ribs, and the limb was bound in them. After a time Stewart fell asleep, and did not awaken for hours. When he opened his eyes there was no pain in the limb. He supposed, however, it was because he had secured an easy position, and he lay for a lone time without moving. Finally, by way of experiment, he timidly twitched his great toe ; there was no answering twinge. Then he worked the ankle; still there was no pain. Then the whole limb was swung back and forth with much vigor. The next moment the happy victim emmitted shout and leaped out upon the floor, for the neuralgia was gone. Commodore Stewart was later in command of the Philadelphia navy yard, and he told his brother officers of the wonderful remedy. "Some months afterward," said he, "I was surprised by a call from several ladies, wives of the officers whom I , knew. I inquired to what I was indebted for the honor of the visit, and , they replied that they had called to thank me for my remedy for the neu- , ralgia, which I had told their husbands, and which in their cases had , produced the happiest results. I as- , 3ured them that I was very glad to ] learn that such was the fact; but when they said the neuralgia was in their j heads, I expressed regret that they n must have been obliged to part with h their hair. 'Uh, no,' they raaae nasie to answer, 'we just put it on over the < hair, and it answered perfectly.' " I The commodore always resorted to j the burdock, for, of course, the neural- < gia was liable to return. He found, < after writing a good deal, that it was < liable to attack him in the wrist, in ( which event a never failing remedy i was at hand. There were always a i large number of the plants growing j during the seasou on his place. ] The method is to remove the ribs from the leaves aud then simply to < bind them over the part affected, every | portion of which should be covered. ' The remedy certainly can hurt no one, i aud may be the means of preventing a ( great deal of sufferiug. i COLIC IN HORSES. As the remedy is highly recommend- ' id by several writers of high authority, < and as colic is the disease most com- i along among horses, and sometimes s proves fatal, we deem it a matter of J sheer justice to our readers that we call < attention to chloride of lime as a rem- < *dy for colic which is claimed to be I speedy and unfailing. 1 Colic is produced by some fermentiug food that causes a rapid accurau- ' lation of gas in the stomach, which < distends the paunch and entrails, caus- ' iug pain and finally inflammation and < death if relief is not had in time. It is ' this gas that must be got rid of, and 1 chloride of lime is the proper remedy. < It neutralizes the gas, and brings speedy relief. It is, so it is claimed, * one of the most effective remedies, 1 known. And being cheap, and safe to ' uou iii ouiuii ^uuuiiucoj 10 yai cavwhvuvv the remedy for the family to haudle. ( A heaping tablespoonful of the lime 1 in a pint of warm water, or half pint of < spirits, is a dose for a full grown horse. Every farmer should keep some of the ( chloride of lime always on hand. It ' is very useful about privies aud other I places of offensive smell, manure piles, ' etc. It is good for bloat or hoven, as ' well as colic, either in cattle or horses. ' Indeed, the two diseases are very near- 1 ly allied, and result very often from ] the same causes. There may be colic without bloat, but not. often bloat without colie. And as colic is a disease of quite frequent occurrence every one ' should keen a remedv ouite near bv 1 thc-m. From what is said and claimed for chloride of lime, we are disposed to look upon it as the remedy for this ailment. In the first stages, whisky or some other .spirit may be used with the ilrench, say half pint of the spirit and half pint of the water. But if the disease has been on long enough to produce inflammation, should prefer something less irritating than spirits if at all strong. In general use, we should use nothing but water to dissolve the lime and make a drench. Keep some chloride of lime in the barn and never be without a reliable remedy for a sudden case of colic. The lime is good to drive away rats, sprinkled about where they run. They will leave for other quarters.

The addition of an educatioual test is the next thing to be done to give us a better class of immigrants. <[hc ^tont seller. UNLUCKY MIKES LAST BET The Silver Dollar lie Found 011 the Duy Hi: Children Were Orphaned. From the New York Times. A big gang had gathered at "Japan ese Tommie's" gambling pavilion, ii the Creek Indian country, a few week: ago. The place was filled with men ii all stations of border life, who wen trying to carve out a fortuue througl: the high card. Hardly anyone HO' ticed the entrance of a seedy, brok en-down man, who took a seat at th< faro table and began to play. He hac the unmistakable look of a man wh< had been pushed to the wall, and was staking his last cent. An old soiubrert shaded his eyes that were underlaic with heavy, dark rings, and the gam bier dropped iuto his seat as thougl his body had been weighted with lead He threw a silver dollar on th< high card, slouched his hat down ovei his eyes and became motionless. The high card won, and the dealer paid the bet, pushing the money over towarc the player. He let it remain, and the high card continued to win until a bij. pile of money lay in a heap before the forlorn-looking stranger. Still the player never moved. The deal weni steadily on, and still the high carc won. "Shake the fool up," swore the deal er at la9t. "A half breed Indian first shook the player and then polled off his hat The face of a dying man greeted hi: close scrutiny. The dealer reachec for the heap of money, and a dozen Distols were drawn upon the instant. "He's as good as dead," said "Fare Dick," the dealer. "Money won't dc him any good, and no one knows him." "I do," said "Cherokee Sam," at Indian police officer. "His name is Mike Donald, and they call him 'Unlucky Mike, the Mover,'on the border His wife and family are camped dowr on the creek near here, and I hearc today that they were literally starv ing." "In 10 minutes Donald was dead Apoplexy had killed him. At once a half-dozen willing bauds bundled the winnings of the corpse into a handkerchief and started to the wife's camp to see the widow and turn the money over to her. One or two stopped tc buy some provisions for the distressed ones. They found the forlorn little camp without much trouble. "Unlucky Mike's" wife was there ; but she was dead. She had died of starvation and exposure. The rough bordermen? many of them professional gamblers and killers, perhaps some of them were express robbers?were horrorstricken. They brought the husband to the creek and buried the two together in one grave, a converted Cherokee Indiau preached the funeral sermout Four little children, hungry, lirty and cold were taken in charge by a committee, the money won in the the faro bank by their dead father * ? - At i A. a A i was piacea 10 meir creuu, anu uiey ire now being furnished with good lomes. Mike Donald was a noted border jharacter. Six or eight years ago he 3rst appeared in the West with his wife, rhey had a good team and a new wagon. Whenever a new country was jpened to settlement they were there, eady to make the run to secure a iome. Down in No Man's Laud, in L888, Mike became a squatter sherill aear Beaver City. The United States iid not recognize that there was such i country as No Man's Land, and the settlers organized themselves into a government of their own. They select}d their sheriffs, judges and other ;ourt officers. Outlaws from all over :he West flocked in, and soon No Man's Land became a mundane paradise. > f ; 1? T"\ 1.1 L? vv une iUiKe L'ouaiu was siicnu, ue tilled "Whisky Dick," at Beer City, jver a gume of cards, and from that ;o the time of his death he was unfortuuate. His stock died aud he ivas never able to keep a good team ol liorses. Either they were stolen or lisease carried them off. He left No Man's Land and traveled up to Kansas. An uneasy demou appeared to possess him. He became known as 'Mike the Mover," because he was ever in one place. He was one f an army of people who had been flitting about over the border in covered wagons for years past. When the old Oklahoma country peued Mike secured a good claim on the banks of the Canadian ; but he lost his title because he was a "sooner"? that is, he had gone into the country before it was legally opened to settlement. He next drifted down into Greer county, a piece of land claimed both by the United States and Texas. There he tried to build up a home. He became involved iu trouble with a Mexican herder, and, while he killed the cowboy, the latter's friends murJered Donald's oldest boy. Again the restless fever caught the 'mover." and he left Greer county for the Cherokee Strip. His wife, though she was a pretty woman when he first iame West, had grown old and haggard. Mike lost his dignified manner af dressing and became as slouehy looking and disreputable as his team af skinny horses. Even the yellow log that had followed his fortunes for years deserted the man now and took jp its residence with a roving baud of Domanche Indians. Deputy marshals and Indian police lame to speak of the mover as "Unlucky Mike." Everything he turned his hand :o was unfortunate. When the Cherjkee Strip opened he made the race, tnd located a town lot at Perry. The text day he learned that he had taken i lot in the public square and that the joverumeut owned it still. Discouraged and disgusted he tried to find some land claim that had not yet been :aken. None such could be found. So le hitched up his old skinny team tnd trundled oft" down into the Cheyinne country. A year or to ago, when old Whirlwind's baud of Cheyennes killed several settlers and were ou the warpath, "Unlucky Mike" was near at hand, and was arrested by the Federhl officers, charged with selling the Ins diaus "fire water" and inciting them to a rebellion. It took him a month to clear himself of these charges, and by . that time his family had wandered j away and were lost to hitn. j Ou foot he trailed them over the In* j diau country. Once he got track of ; the wagon it was no trouble to follow , its meanderings. Any one who ever . saw it would not soon forget it. The . wheels were held together with wire > rope wrapping; the bed was in splintI ters, and the old canvass top was a ) mass of shapeless ribbons. By some i of the settlers the outfit was called , the "Flying Dutchman," in compari) son to the old legend of the old Dutch . ship of the ocean. It was considered , a misfortune to run across "Unlucky Mike" and his prairie schooner when out on a business trip. By the superstitious the man became isolated from humanity. When he found his family down upon the banks of the Citnaron river, they were almost starved to death. Together they continued to wander over the 5 wild country like a rudderless ship at ; sea. Mike had three old crow-bait H horses when he first went into his last I camp, but it is said that he killed one of the animals for food. On the day . of his death he found a silver dollar on the trail leading to a town near by. 5 With this money he determined to tempt Dame Fortune for a last time. 3 It was this dollar that he risked at [ "Japanese Tommie's" tent, i His little daughter Nellie told the committee of the finding of this dollar ) and her father's starting to town after , something to eat. Once upon a time 3 Mike had been a gambler in a'small way, and doubtless when he was pass, ing the gambling house his desire for 5 play drew him in. The wife died soon . after he left the little camp, and it is probable that consumption had some, thing to do with her death. "Unlucky I Mike" and his unfortunate weather . beaten prairie schooner will no longer prove a nightmare to superstitious border officials and Indians. POWDER Absolutely Pure.
