How TO Cook A HUsBAND.-As Mrs.
Glass said of the hare, you must first catch
him. Having done so, the mode of cook
ing him SO as to make a good dish of him
is as follows: Many good husbands are
spoiled in the cooking; some women go
about it as if their husbands were bladderS
and blow them up; others keep them CON
~tantly in hot water, while others freeze
them by conjugal GOODNESS some smother
them in hatred, contention, and variance;
and some keep them in pickle all their
lives.
These women always serve them up with
tongue sauce. Now it cannot be supposed
that husbands will he tender and good if
managed in this way; but they are, on the
contrary. very delicious when managed as
follows: Get a large jar, called the jar of
carefulness (which all good wives have on
hand), place your husband in it, and set
him near the fire of conjugal love; let the
fire be pretty hot, especially let it be clear;
above all, let the heat be constant; cover
him over with objection, kindness, and
suhjrction; garnish with modest. becom-
ing familiarity. and the spice of pleasantly;
and if you add kisses and other confec-
,ionaries. let them be accompanied with a
sufficient portion of secrecy, mixed with
prudence and moderation. We would adj
wise all good wives to try this receipt, and
realize how admirable dish a husband is
when properly cooked.

Mr. EwING:-My experience of Western
life is yet limited. have only been in the
Indian Territory few mouths. l went
last Friday. for the first time. to the CAPT.
tai of the Acknowledgment. l enjoyed
the ride there exceedingly. We went on
horseback across the broad prairie. 1t was
delightful. The air we breathed was exhil-
Grating. The ground we passed over is so
rich. it looks black. l am myself nojudge
of good land, but have heard others speak
Of it. The view from the highest elevation
of the prairie is beautiful and grand; the
chain of mountains in the distance to the
right and to the left: the broad stretch of
prairie, without many fences to mar the
beauty, is picturesque in the extreme. We
only had five miles to ride from our home
to Tahlequah. Arriving there. we found
IA cordial welcome awaiting us from our
friends. Twas very agreeahly disappointed
in Tahlequah. l expected to see rude
little town of log houses, but, instead, l
found the store houses and dwelling stu
ated very pleasantly; some brick, some
frame, aud a few log. The merchants
were all very busy, ard the town lively
saw plenty Of Indians, but they were all
dressed like gentlemen aud behaved as such.
The Nations Capitol is a very urge COM
modious building, of brick; it stands
within a beautiful inclosed square, with
shade trees and walks to make it pleasant.
Tahlequah is situated on very level tract
of country. 1t is uncommon to see so
large level tract, and it would make a
splendid site to build broad and beauti-
fnl city. l could, in my Imagination, see
such city there, and have not one doubt
but it will be so soon. enjoyed my visit
much; bid my new friends good by, and
we fastened home, only arriving there as
the sun was sinking in beautiful golden
clouds behind the hills. Our home is

WINTER SONG.

The downy fakes,
Throug h tangled brakes.
Fail soft y DER the distant hills;
The trees embossed
With ice and frost
Sigh mournfuliy over muffied r.lls.
The sandy shore,
RrsoundS no more,
Where bonnding waves dashed farand high;
Old Winters breath
CunycalS in death
The cherished scenes of days gone by.
Yet hearts as light,
And faces bright
AS ever smiled in summer bow'rS,
May join the lhrongs,
And swell the songs.
That fill with joy the Winter hours.
In fashions courts
Where pleasure sports
And youthful hearts responsive beat;
The lamps burn bright,
Aud footsteps light
Keep measure to the music sweet.
The winds may wall;
And sleet and hail
rempestous sweep the desert shore,
Free from all fear,
With kind friends near,
Each heart may dream its love scenes DER.

Button MAKINe.--It is notable fact
in the history of American manufactures,
that the first maker of covered buttons,
Samuel Williston, is yet living. In early
life he was preparing to enter the ministry,
when his eyesight so failed that he was
compelled to give up study. He kept
country store in which the wooden buttons
then in use, were sold. His wife covered
some of these buttons with cloth. They
became popular. Williston and his wife
coutrived machinery to do the work, the
first ever employed in the United States
An immense mandatory grew from this
seed, and made half the covered buttons
of the world. Williston's factories are
still running at East Hampton, Mass, and
lie is worth several millions Of dollars.

Deacon Dodd once feelingly said
About his Betsey, long since dead
'If ever an angel loved a man,
That angel, sir. was Betsey Ann;
If happened to scold her, she was SO meek,
(Which the Deacon did seven times in week y
She'd clap her apron up to her eye,
And never say nothin', but only cry"
But, ladies', p'raps, you'd like to be told,
That Deacon Dodd, like other men,
Waited year, and married again;
But he married most inveterate scold.
And now tits the Deacon's turn to be meek,
As he gets well rasped from week to week;
But rather than "open his head" he'd burst
He wishes the second was with the firstl
But % she's as tough as hickory limb,
No doubt she'll live to say Of him,
"If ever saint the footstool trod,
That Inan-that saint-was Deacon Dodd."

Personality in Politics.

This is doubtless an evil not always easy
to avoid, but one to be regretted when it is
avoidable. Measures not men, though
plausible in theory is often difficult in prac-
tice. So long as men are responsible for their
acts, they must be, to some extent, for the
principles and measures involved in their acts.
Men are held responsible for the consequent
ces Of their principles and the means they
adopt to carry out those principles, so far as
their intelligence and their intellect qualify
them to foresee or comprehend those conse-
quences. For this reason it is difficult if not
impossible to discuss political measures ire.
spective Of men and the motives of. men with
whom those measures originated and by
whom they are advocated. There is always
in every political canvass more or less COM
plant Of personality, and not entirely without
reason is the complaint, or without cause is
the personality. We cannot avoid dealing
with characters of individuals as candidates as
well as principles of parties. By ignoring the
one we may jeopardze the success of the other.
If the Republican party have great and
Important principles to sustain, it cannot be
indifferent to the capacity and good repute of
its chosen agents to carry out those principles.
The same is true of the Democratic party !:
it naturally chooses for candidates the men,
all things considered the best adapted to ac-
complish its purposes, immediate and pro.
spectiye. First, TO elect those men who no
longer sympA,hiza with the Republican party,
and who can be used for Democratic purposes.
Let no one accuse us of personal abuse
Of the Democratic candidates, when we aver
our honest conviction that the Democratic
selection Of candidates is admirable; particu-
larly their Presidential candidate is the man
of all possibilities the best for their purpose
in their great emergency. An annoying
battery, when reversed and converted to the
defense, serves a double purpose by the con.
version.
If to capture the effective guns of an enc
my in action, and turn them against him is a
great achievement, it was such for the Demo-
cratic party to capture by 'chateper means,
Horace Greeley, and turn that big gun the N
Y. Tribune against the Republicans.
In discussing the issues of this Presidential
campaign let moi the Republicans be accused
OF abusing certain persons, who, whatever was
once their standing in the Republican party,
have chosen for personal reasons to make
war on those with whom, they have, in years
past, took counsel and acted against dsloyalty,
whether in active rebellion or sympathizinp
Herewith. Discuss principles as we will,
politics has to do with men also their con.
duct and motives, even, must be considered if
we have duty TO thwart their obvious de.
signs and avert the consequences of their
pernicious influence.

" One of the inmates of our state Insan,

charged on application to court, and Thursda,
hearing took place before Judge Shipman
OF the United States District Court, in the
case of Rev. Peter II. Shaw, an old gentleman
aged seventy-eight years, who had been con-
lined for several years on pretence that he
was insane. The court saw no signs of insan.
ity, and discharged him. Mr.. Shaw upon
being allowed an opportunity to give his side
OF the case, denied that he had ever been in
sanv, aud SAID mat he was hustled off to the
asylum while he was on visit to Barnet,
with the connivance, as he believes, of son.
in-law, who had control of an annuity belong

lum, upon being questioned by the Judge,
was obliged to confess that be had been very
quiet ever since he had been in the institution,
and that be had never seen him commit an
insane act in the five years he has been con.
fined there. 1t was upon this statement OF
the two sides Of the case that the Judge very

" In order to test the truth Of the charg-
es Of the Encouragement of the Bloomingdae
Insane Asylum, reporter of the Tribune
Julius Chambers, feigned insanity and was
confined there for two weeks The reporter
first engaged a room at the Grand Central
Hotel, whore his apparently insane actions
attracted notice and be was pronounced de.
ranged by several physicians. Application
was made for his admission to the asylum
which was granted, the authorities making
but slight examination of the case. lilo wus
first placed in the ward for violent patients,
and in the course of a week he SO much i'm.
proyed"-in compliance with instructions
from the Tribune oiice-that he was placed
among the more quiet patients, the physici.
ans expressing the belief that he would be
well in seven or eight weeks. Last Saturday
he was taken out on writ of habeas corpus.
The entire management Of the asyum,-so
far as possible--was noted by the reporter,
and is made public through the Tribune.
This novel investigation shows that the insti-
tuition is deserving of the charges made against
it, both as regards the manner in which per.
sons are allowed to be admitted and the inter.
nal management, and the Tribune states edi.
torially that the affair reflects painfully on
the law Of commitment aud its administration
in New York.
