Mr.. Budkins is spry old gentleman
of sixty, but having never been married,
passed off for forty five, aud would like to
take ten of of that During the cold
weather, when the Newly York Central
Park poad was in fine order for skating,
the old gent got splendid pair of sinners
and undertook to display his youthful
agility in the midst of lis friends and the
public generally 1t was hard work to
get them on; but he was ready at last,
and boldly striking out, one leg went north,
the other south, and down be came, as
solid and square as judge on the bench
Blaming the skates, he strapped them
up, rose to his feet, and with new -four
ish, came up, all standing, on the same
cushion that received him before Try
ing again, he met the same fate, when a
" Young America" coming up and be-
holding him sitting at his ease on the
CLASSY surface, called out to him, II say,
old cockad0odle, you've got those skates
on the wrong place put them on your
coat tails p Budkins grinned a ghastly
smile, and then called to the boy, who
glided off in an instant, and would not
come back to get quarter. Budkins
took off his skates, and went home, a
wiser and sadder man.

In the Wrong Pew,

An old gentleman from Kentucky left
his hotel in St. Louis to attend the meet
ing of the Old School Presbyterian Gen
eral Assembly, at the corner of Fifth and
Walnut streets. BY mistake he found
himself in the Olympic Theatre, few
doors below the church. Taking seat
in one of the elegano cushioned "pews'
he inquired ofa gentleman sitting near if
"old Bob" was expected to speak. ooh,
yes" was the reply, "he will be out in a
minute" Ia a short time Aymor, the
clown, made his appearance, and com
menced political speech. "That's the
man you are looking for," said the stran-
ger to the Kentuckian. "Who, is that
old Bob !? Well, he's little more ring
streaked and striped than | supposed he
had got to be, but his speech reminds me
of old times in Kentuck." F." Mad. Briggs
next came out on horseback, and the
Kentuckian seized his hat and made rap
id strides for the Southern Hotel, where
he locked himself up for the night.

How to Cook a Beefsteak.

\ beefsteak ought always to be broiled
and never fried but the following meth
cd ofcooking is recommended by Mrs. Hut
ton, which even those who are accustom-
ed to frying will be willing to try:
The frying-pan being Wiped very
dry, place it upon the stove, and let it be-
come hot-rery hot. In the meantime,
mang!e the steak-if it chance to be sir
loin, SO much the better-pepper and salt
it, then lay it in the hot, dry pan, which
instantly cover as tightly as possible
When the raw flesh touches the heated
pan, Of course it seethes and adheres to
1t, bat in few seconds it becomes loos-
ened and juicy. Every half-minute turn
the steak; but be careful to keep it as
much as possible under cover. When
nearly done lay a. small piece of butter
upon 1t; and if you want much gravy,
add a tablespoonful Of strong, good coffee.
In three minutes from the time the
steak goes into the pan it is ready for the
table This method Of cooking makes the
most delicious, delica.ely broiled steak,
full of juice, yet retaining the healthy
beefy favor that any John Bull could re-
quire.
"The same method may be applied to
mutton chops, only they require little
longer cooking to prevent them from
being rare An excellent gravy may be
made for them by adding little cream,
thiekened with apinch of -four, into which,
when off the fire partly cool, stir in the

Claims Of the Reserve Corns.

1t is finally announced that of the late
Pennsylvania Reserve Corps, about ten
thousand claims Of privates are yet unpaid
The great majority of these privates eth
er fell in battle, perished in hospitals, or
have died since the close of the war
The money is due to the families of the
soldiers who have survived the contest.
State Treasurer Kemble, who is Presi-
dent of the Board of Claims, is desirous
that these accounts shall be settled, and
has ordered blanks to be printed, which
will be forwarded TO all soldiers Of the
Reserve Corps, as well as to the widows of
such as have perished, Immediately on
their application by letter to the Board
of Claims, at Harrisburg. 1t is well
enough to have it distinctly understood
that it is unnecessary to employ any agent
for the collection of their claims, as it re-
quires no legal ability to do SO. The
necessary blanks and instructions viii be
furnished, on application to the Board Of
Claims, to all claimants. 1t is especially
desired that the press throughout the
country will give these facts prominent
place in their colums, for the benefit of
the soldiers and the protection Of the
widows and orphans OF soldiers.
