Every farmer is aware of the very
great convenience of being able to preserve
a beef of his own killing more than two
or three days. A Southern paper gives
n recipe that may be useful:
Kill your teef in the morning or early
part of the forenoon, lot it hang up and
drip for one or two hours, cut it up in
pieces to suit your fancy and salt well in
box or barrel kept covered. The next
morning build a scaffpld three or four
feet high; the latter will be best. Build
a good fire with hard wood; let 1t burn
pretty freely until nearly done blazing.
then put small sticks across your scaaold.
lay your beef on them aud bnrbacue un
til very nearly done; turn The meat over
frequently. Ii the weather is good, YOU
can be through the job generally in one
day, but of this you must be your own
Judge. When satisfied that il is suffi-
ciently harbecued, lay it away and let it
entirely cool. then lay it in an airy bar
rel, and as you put in layer of meat
sprinkle salt over it; tie cloth over the
top. In using the beef you will fnd it
never gets hard or tough. Cook it al.
most any way you please, I think you
will be delighted with your beef.

Mark Rvv ain--How the Mona de Plume
Originated.


We have lately noticed several para
graphs concerning the gentleman. 1t is
very true he was once n river character
about this port. Mrs. Clemens, the aged
mother OF the hunorist, we understand
is still a resident of this city. Marx
Twain" learned the river Gu the old
steamer John s. Roe. and . sed to write
up steamboat memoranda ana occasional
squibs for the Republican. Captain
Sellers, ne.of the first victims of Mark
Twain's humor, was an excellent pilot,
bu; devoid of any literary culture what
ever; but withaI had quite AZ opinion Of
his own mental abilities. Max skelched
the captain in good st, le. After he had
written the article he inquired of JOHN
Morris, now the steward of the Belle
Memphis, what name he should sign TO
it: One Of the deck hands AT the time
happened to be heaving the lead and bal
lowed out ''mark taain" meaning the
depth of water, when Clemens exclaim-
ed, 'thai's it: Mark Tmain's my name"
This sketch, with bis new name, MARK
Twain" at the bottom Of II, was subss
quently placed in the hands Of Mr.. l..
K. Garrett, who was at that time river
editor of the journal, and it found place
in the river department of the Republi
can. 1t proved to be decided hit, and
was extensively copied by Western ur.
mails. Mr.. Clemens continued for SOME
time to contribute to the columns of this
paper, and his productions began to at
tract great attention throughout the
West. 1t was manifest that his destiny
was not in the pilot house. He soon left
the river. and his subsequent literary
career is well known.

Paris as She Is.

Something has happened IN Paris,
saws tie New York Times, which did
not happen during the first revolution
All the theatres have been closed. The
concerts and ball rooms, and even the
cafes have also shut their doors. Hard
" anything could give more vivid idea
Of the change that has come over the
usually gay and luxurious city than this
closing of all public places of amusement.
Nm is this all. Carriages no longer roll
in the streets. The rich who own such
vehicles have mostly fled, and the horses
Of the cabs and fiacres have been seized
for military purposes. Even the omni-
buses have ceased TO run. Those who
would get from point TO point must do
so or foot, unless, indeed, their business
is that of the national service. The
boulevards and avenues are no longer m :
diant with gay colOrs, bright with fash
ionable women. or lively with the ebb
and flow of traffic. There is hurryiug
to and fro, indeed, Mt for pleasure, but
for business, and that OF the sternest
kind. AT night The scene is still more
gloomy, for the gas is everywhere extin-
guished, and the only light is the dim
flicker of oillit lanterns, or medieval
torches.
II is said that this city has been re
duced by Que half in i;s original popuIa
lion. The wealthy aud fashionable, the
foreigners. gamblers and lorettes. tho
unprotected women of all classes. have
fled, voluntarily or otherwise. and the
number of these formed large proportion
Of the whole. But. if many have left
Paris. many have likewise flocked into it.
The Mobile Guards from the provinces
have been pouring in, until within few
DAYS, in endless streams. The poor fel
lows are dressed in all manner of uni
forms, and all bring bundles of 70 cd un>
der their arms.
Ii is said that at the last advices, that
they lad not vet been bille,ed on private
families. There ought not apparently TO
be need for this, since nearly all the vast
hotels AVID innumerabIe lodging houses
are empty. One Of the last letters sent
by an English correspondent states that
but two guests remained at the time of
his writing at ST. Mnurice's. one of
these was an EDglishman, the other an
American. Tho circuses have been,
meanwhile, turned into barracks, and
the churches and theatres are made to
serve MS hospitals.
The beautiful gardens of the TuiIeries
are in possession of parks Of artillery,
and farmers are pounding away a. their
forges and shoe;ng horses under what
were latey the imperial wisdows. In
the squares of the Palais Royal are sheds
packed with huud. eds of stacks of bayo
nets, and cart loads of ammunition. up
aud down the splendid avenues, in arts
tocratc quarters like the Rue de R,voli,
and in squares like the Place de Con
corde, limp wounded soldiers from Grave
loite or Sedan, gaunt. holloweyad to
kens of the dismal scenes through which
they have so lately passed. Such is, in
part, description of the Paris Of to-
day. so wonderfully different from the
Paris of few months ago. What she
may I've tomorrow, time only can show.
Possibly a modem Carthage, over whose
RUNS not new Marius alone will mourn,
but the whole civilized world.

expression of the greatest apathy, almost

were as lifeless as the muscles of his

A "SELL" ON DICKENS.

In his American notes" Mr.. Dickens
skctched i'll his best sarcastic vein a man
whom he encountered on steamboat,
and of whom he wrote:
There was never such curious man.
| wore great fur coat at that time, and
before we were well clear of the wharf he
questioned me concerning it. and its price,
and where | bought it, and when, and
what fur it was and what it cost. And
then he took notice of my watch, and
asked what that cost, and whether it was
French watch, and where l got it, and
how got it, and whether | bought it or
had it given to me, and how it went, and
where the keyhole was, and when |
wound it, every night or every morning,
and whether | ever forgot to wind it at
all, and if | did what then? Where l had
been to last, and where l was going to
next, and where | was going to after that,
and had seen the President, and what
did he say and what did l say, and what
did he say when had said it. Ehp Lor
now ! do tell
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press, however, says
The man with Il light, fresh-colored
face, and a pepper-and-salt suit of clothes,
who was the most inquisitive fellow that
can possibly be imagined" lived here in
1912, and has since been sheriff of Centre
county. He and party of friends were
returning home form Harrisburg, and,
being naturally of jovial turn of mind,
made gamen of Dickens the entire trip.
The sheriff was the leading spirit of the
party, and furnished them uninterrupted
amusement by his semi-idiotic manner,
and his persistent cross-examination of
Mr.. Dickens. The story as published is
not too strongly drawn. The sheriff
played the native American to perfection,
and. as the event showed, completely sold
the English party and retinue. When the
American Notes" first appeared people
about here recalled the sheriff's original
version of the incident and were intense
ly amused.

LETTER FROM MISSOURI
NEW HARMONY, Mo-, Oct. 2

NEW HARMONY, Mo-, Oct. %.
DEAR JOURNAL: This place is about half
way between the cities of Mexico and Louis
ania, place which one might term as rail-
road killed since the Louisiana and Mexico
road, now in process of construction, passes
four miles north of it. There are two gro
ceries and post Office in it, one with a
sign informing the passers by that ''POTaters'
are sold here, while little farther up reads,
"Waggon shop by J. S. Branstetter & Son,
& repairing done at short notice." As the sign
reads, repairing must be the third member of
the firm. The city of Louisiana is located
on the west side of the Mississippi, contains
about four thousand inhabitants, of whom
large number were property before Uncle
Abe's Emancipation Proclamation. Five
lumber yards well stocked, proclaim that the
article is in good demand. Flour mills, wine
and whiskey distilleries, with other things
common to eastern cities, go to make up tho
lab0rs and interests of the place. There is
fine school building in the upper part of the
city large enough to contain twelve depart
ments. | regret that my time and health did
not permit me to visit it. The city as viewed
from Clinton Heights is we'll laid out and ap-
pears from this distance to be crowded.
There is sort of sleepy dullness about the
place to one accustomed to the noisy hustle
of the cities east. One meets Reb soldiers
and officers everywhere, but in all cases they
are polite and atfable unless political subjects
are broached The Radicals are extremists
on their side as the Democracy on theirs. A
new party composed of ''Bolters" from the
Radical parry, styling themselves Liberals"
support Col. Dyer, who favors enfranchise-
ment, and goes against Protective Tariff. l
enclose the Republican State and county
ticket with their platform. There is no sub
ject now demanding so much attention and
interest as politics. The election comes off
