The Way IL Does Tanylc.

Isn't it astonishing how harness will
tangle Three mules-and you know
mules don. switch about much, were
standing under the trees ia the lot in the
rear of Darlington, Marsalis & Co.'s, yes
terday morning thinking of oats and corn
when one of them felt something crawling
all over his back, and then the other
thought strange that snakes should crawl
up his legs so, and the third wondered
who that could be tickling his ears with
straws, and they all agreed to turn round
Mt once and interview the cause. They
did so, and at three o'clock this morning
the moon shone down on the only man in
the world who had right 10 tho.e mules.
and the patience to be ut work on three
sets Of harness with about three thousand
gordian knots in them

The shield ola Coranche chief, killed
on Mountain Creek, in Conan che Count,
in this State, was an object keen curiss.

OF barbarian mechanism, both ingenious
and grotesque, and device displaying
tia cunning instinct of the savage in his
efforts at self preservation. A breas,
plate of stratifed bone, held together by
laminated strips of buckskin, formed n
portion of this bulwark, and could be re-
moved at pleasure and placed upon the
breast by depending, apron-like, from the
neck. On the shield was woman's
scalp, whose hair had not yet lost its
beauty, and the material forming the
shield was Of such strength ami compact

This interesting relic was obtained by
W. II. BOnnell, its present owner, from Nj,

sent the painted infam inability TO land
where he'll never want any more such
appurtenances.

An cumulative steed belonging to an
East Dallasite, having observed upon
more than one occasion the exaggera led
life that lay in tho heels of Caperan s
livery wagon Bucephalus, concluded that
there was another horse on this mundane
revolver who had electricity in his heels
also, and proceeded, Sunday afternoon, to
show the public that be was that very an !.
imal and accordingly let himself out with
much looseness, by airing his exclusive
fancies in three-fouIths of the streets in
the city. What remains OF the wagon to
which he was attached, is offered this
morning for pen-handles, and the horse
himself can't sneeze for fear of disloca-
ting his joints.

Cookinp Oysters.

STEwED OYsTERs.-Drain the Ii
quor from two quarts OF firm, plump
oysters; mix with it small teacupful
of hot water, and add "a little salt and
pepper, and set over the fire in a sauce
pan. When it comes to a boil, add a
large cupful of rich milk, (cream is
better.) Let, it boil up once, put in the
oysters, let them boil for five minutes
or less-no more. When they "ruf-
file, y add two rteaspoOnsful of butter,
and the instant it is melted and well
stirred in, take the saucepan from the
fire. Serve with oyster or cream
crackers, as soon as possible. Oysters
become tough and tasteless when cook
ed too much, or left to stand TOO long
after they are withdrawn from the
fire. I A good and safe plan is, 10 heat
the milk in separate vessel set in an
other of hot water, and after it is min
gled with the liquor and oysters, stir
assiduously or it may "catch," IS the
cooks say. e., scorch on the sides OF
bottom of the saucepan.
FRIED OYsTERs.-Use for frying the
largest and best oysters you can find.
Take them carefully from the liquor;
lay them i'm rows upon a clean cloth,
and press another lightly upon them
to absorb the moisture. Have ready
several beaten eggs, and in another
dish some crackers crushed fine. In
the frying -pan heat enough nice butter
to- cover the oysters, entirely. DIP
each oyster first in the egg, then into
tthe cracker, rolling it over that it may
become completely inerusted. Drop
them carefully into the frying-pan ,and
I fry quickly to a light brown. If the
butter is hot enough they will soon be
ready to take out. Test it by putting
in one oyster before you risk the rest
Do not let them lie i'm the pan an in
slant after they are done. Serve dry
and let the dish be warm. A chatting
dish is best.

Difficulties of a stoker's Wife.


A writer in Good Words tells the fol-
lowing story ofthe difficulty some peo-
pie meet with in endeavoring to lead a
religious life:"
A lady had gone to visit young
couple of the better class of the poor
Tney had nochildren, and the husband
being stOker on the railway, they
were above the reach of want. Under
these circumstances it seemed to the
visitor that they might have attended
to their religious duties at least to the
extent of going to church on Sundays,
and the woman ventured to intimate
as much to the young woman, VINO
was standing rather idly at the door.
"Will you please walk in till / show
you something?" was the wOman's an
swer; and she conducted her visitor TO
the little kitchen, where her husband
sat by the fire. He had just come home
for half an hour 10 have his tea, and
was watching the kettle with the most
absorbing interest. He was, of course,
in his wOrking-clOthes, and his face
and hands were of a deep oily black,
after the manner of stokers.
"Now, ma'am," said the woman,
pointing to him, "you see that there
man; that's my husband, and I'm
bound to do part by him, amt I?'
Surely" said the visitor, anxious tC
uphold the duties of matrimony. "Very
well, then. Would you like to know
how 1 pass my Sundays? A washing
of be! Never blessed moment has
he to wash himself through the week
out early and late, and half of tht
night, too, and bEicker nor any crow
alf the while. Nell, on Sundays it i!
fitting and proper that he should try
to look like Christian, if he can, 81
he sets me to itzafter We eats oul
breakfast, with a bucketful of soapsud,
and scrubbing-brush, and rubs hin
off and on all day, till my arms ache
and he amt much better thon he wor
and then after we has our tea he say
to- .meI sfGeme, Sally, have anothe
try, there's a brave swench," and
goes at him again, and sluices hin
down till you'd think born Enigge
'ud come out white; and, IL you believ,
me, ina,am, when I polishes him OF
with 3 dry towel afore he goes to bed
he's only q light brown after all
| What was to be SAID to such stubborn
facts; especially when the good wo
man finished with the unanswerabl
argument, $50 you see, ma'am, then
as wants to live religious has best no

their produce are all engaged in con-
spfracy to defraud them In such
community as ours no one class can
become the prey Of another, nor OF all
Others combined. The same inexora-
BILE conditions apply to one class as to
other, and that which bears hard upon
one class torments the Others also. Ii
thu farmers are suffering, as class, out
of proportion with any other class, it is
well that they should look for the
