A Tribune correspondent says he heard
Judge Dent make tho following remarks
at q meeting at Grenada, Miss, on tho Sd
inst:
saw the President on this very ques-
ton before left Washington. lie told
me he Was in sympathy with me aud the
party l represent. He intimated that he
was opposed to the extr emists. end that he
believed the Southern men to be honest.
He (Grant) did not wish to announce this
publicly, as he would then have the whole
radical party jumping at him like 30
many wild cats, and he would share the
same fate as poor johnson. cannot
help stating that they are sincere, and
then he said, "Go Dent, hope you will
be elected lCheers and hurrahs for
Grant).
The radicals north and South, claim
that Gen. Grant is in the habit Of usins
different language to them in regard 4
the Mississippi elections. 1t is evidsa
that somsboay hss been scM, 81

Denoininati0nal Oxen.

A gentleman travelling in Texas, met on
the road u wagon drawn by four oxen,
driven by countryman, who, in addition
to the skillful flourish and crack of his
whip, was vociferously encouraging his
horned horses, after the fashion: "EIaw,
presbyterian y 'Gee, baptist" "Waoah,
episcopalian!' "Get up, methodist!"
The traveller stepped the driver, remark
ing to him that he had strange names for
his oxen, and that he would like to know
why he thus called them. Said the driver:
II call this OK presbyterian. because he
is true blue and never fails, pulls through
difficulties, and holds out to the end /: be-
sides he knows more than the rest. l call
this baptist because he is always after
water, and seems as though he'd never
drink enough; then again he wont eat
with the others. Icall this OK 'cpiscopal>
an.' because he has mighty way Of
holding his head up, and if the yoke gets
= tile too tight, he tries to kick and draw
clear out of tho track. call this OK
methodist because he puts, and blows,
and bellows, as he goes along. and you'd
think he was pulling all creation, but he
don't pull pound unless you continually
stir him up"
We clip the above from an exchange, for
its humsr. Many other religious secss
might have been named by that ingenious
theological OK x-man, but the above ara
sufficient for illustration. The reading Of
it will do no harm to digestion. 'Tis said
Of the author Of Don Quixotte, CERvANrEs
that he ''wrote no line that gave
pain" Whether true to the letter." we
cannot say. Pain is a sort Of convertible
term, though its general sense is in that
Of physical prostration, but 'tis certainly
compliment to the great Spanish author
to credit him with design to make ali his
readers happy. Would it not be we'll for
the world if all OF Us studied how to
amuse and instruct, rather than to criti-
else and growl? We think it would be
better. Let's do it.

CIsrERS WATEE.-Ward Bullard, of
Weybridge, Vermont, gave the following
IA, in his opinion, the best method of
keeping the contents of cistern from
stagnating and becoming offensive. Let
the spout run to the bottom of the cistern.
You will then have new water every time
it rains. The old water will be moved or
borne up and thrown off, Sometimes a
single rain will throw off all the old wa
ter, and give entirely new. If you nave
any doubt Of this, fill pail of water, run
a tube to the bottom of it, and, by means
of funnel, turn more water into it by
way OF the tube, and you will sec that
the water you turn into the tube will go
to the bottom of the pail, and the water
you put in FIRST will be thrown Of.

An old trapper, who crossed the West
ern plains thirty-ive years ago, says
there was no grass at all, but only few
sage bushes and cacti. Now there is
thin soil formed over the sand and gravel.
and grass covers the entire surface. And
it appears that this enriching process goes
on faster and faster every year. This is
why SO many people have been astonished
at not finding any "Great American
DESERT and conclude that it was only
myth. The truth is that it did exist, but,
like many Of these things in this change
full America, it has passed away.

A Berlin antiquary claims to have re-
cciYed the coffin in which Juliet was buried
at Verona, and recently gave q party,
when Shakspearos play was read over the
alleged remains Of Romeo's inamorata.
He may have obtained coffin AT Verona,
but not that with Juliet's ashes. At
least, the many thousand visitors to the
hypothetical tomb at Verona have never
been able to discover anything of the kind.

Dressing Poultry for Market.

L
| We copy from an exchange the follow.
ing di, eetions on this subject:
Never kill bird unless it il Fat. Never
cut of the heads Of turkeys or geese, but
hang them by the heels where they cannot
oruisc themselves in the death struggle,
and stick them with small knife and
bleed them to death. Ducks and common
fowls if decapitated, should be held or
tied, and hung up to bleed to death. New.
er kill your birds with full crops you
will lose in price more than you gain in
weight. Never strangle them so as to
leave the blood in. The best plan is to
tie all kinds Of birds to line drawn from
post to post, or tree to tree and stick them
just in the forward end of the neck.
Never kill on damp day.
You may pick all sorts of birds dry, if
you don't tear the skin. but you must
scald them afterwards by dipping them
suddenly in and out of boiling water.
Don't scald the legs too much, whether
you pick first or afterwards. Be careful Of
that. You must pick them clean, and the
aftor-scalding makes them look plump
and good.
Never draw bird. It is worth while
to pay freight on intestines, because meat
cannot be kept sweet long. after being
drawn, and the air admitted inside of the
body.
1t is practice of some of the best
poultrymen. after the bird is plucked to
plunge them suddenly into boiling water,
and then Immediately into cold water.
This gives them clean plump appear
ance, and makes them look fat if thev are
in decentiy good condition when killed.
Nothing. however, can make poor bird
look well. while i'll dressing will make the
best bird look poor.
Lay the birds upon clean boards, in a
cold room, till perfectly cool !; and then
pack in boses with clean rye and oat
straw, SO that they cannot touch each
other.
Never pack in barrels if you can get
good dry goods boxes, rs the rolling Of
the barrels Injuries the poultry. Well
packed boxes Of well prepared birds will
keep sweet for a long time in cool wealth
er, and may be transported by express or
by rail. and arriving in good order, can
be sold readily at the highest market
price.
