A Safe Test for Coal Oil.

A correspondent writes: The most
effective way to stop the sale of danger
GUS oils and burning fluids which are SC
destructive to life and property is to
educate the people. The test is so sim,
pie that it is in the power of every one.
1t has often been published, yet there
are thousands of people who have not
heard it. You will benefit the people
by repeating it often. :,
The test is as follows: Pour a small
quantity of the oil out upon saucer
or tin plate; apply lighted match; il
it ignites Immediately, or even before
the fire touches it, let the oil be return
ed to the vender as unsafe.
Good, safe oil will not flash, but burn
slowly when the lighted match is drop:
ped into it, and the fire is extinguished
as soon as the match is removed. II
the people will subject their oil to this
test and use only that which stands it,
accidents will be rare.

Preparation of Meat Extract.

A new mode of preparing certain
kinds of meat has lately been patented
in Paris by M. Durand. This has more
particular reference to the flesh OF
prawns, shrimps, and other delicate
crustaceans, in regard to which, as is
well known, much trouble is expert
enced in the picking out Of the flesh
from the external skeleton after boiling.
The new method consists in placing
the shrimps, while still alive, in a
double metallic ring perforated with
small holes, some course material being
used as filter. This ring is subjected
to pressure, which squeezes the flesh
out into vessel placed below. This
may be then mixed with the necessary
seasoning, boiled, and dried by evapor-
alton, so as to form compact paste,
which will keep for long time, fur.
nishing an excellent article of food. A
similar process can be applied. to the
preparation of fish, the meat of which
can be forced out, leaving the bones,
scales, etc., behind. The flesh of both
fish and crustaceans before cooking is
very soft, and easily yields to the treat.

perhaps be applied to advantage in the
case Of shad and herrings, the bones oi
which constitute so great al objection

Picking Pockets.

The passengers on crowded ferry
boat were much amused one day at see
ing q gentleman very deftly pick his
friends pocket of his pocket-book and
transfer it to his own. They were still
more amused at seeing third "gentle-
man take the pocket-book even more
deftly from the amateur and disappear
in the crowd. The announcement came
soon. Number Two asked Number One
to let him see his pocket-book, and,
when his friend could not find it, pro-
ceeded with smile to restore it to him.
His smile, however, was soon changed
to a look of intense surprise, which
was very much enjoyed by the bystand.

Number Three would soon appear and
unravel to his friends this amusing
mystery. But, alas Number Three
never came back. He was, it seems, a
true artist" who had coolly robbed
the amateur as publicly as the latter
robbed his friend. In the hurry and
confusion of landing Number Three
made his escape, so the amateur was
obliged to compensate his friend for
the contents of his pocket-book, prob
ably resolving, at the same time, to
eschew ever after any such practical
Jokes.

Anecdote of Baron Rothschild.

A short time ago the Baron Van
Rothschild took a walk in Paris, and
suddenly found himself behind the
Pantheon, in q part of the city with
which he was not familiar. He entered
the shop of dealer in old curiosities,
and discovered among great deal Of
worthless trumpery an old barometer
from the time Of Louis XVI, the cary
ing of which was exceedingly well pre-
served. The Baron, who is connoiseur
of such things, Immediately resolved to
buy the barometer. The price was ten
francs, and Rothschild, glad to get it
80 cheap, put his hand in his pocket to
give the woman who kept the store a
ten franc piece. Unfortunately he dis
covered that he had left his pocketbook
home.
"Well, never mind" said he, 'I will
take the barometer, anyhow. Send it
to nv house. am the Baron Roths-
child The money will be paid to you
at my house."
"I do not know your name monsieur"
replied the woman moreover, 1 never
send any goods away unless they have
previously been paid for"
The baron was greatly puzzled. he
had never dreamed that anybody could
be ignorant of his name ; bat as he
happened to be in very good humor,
he felt highly amused, and was just
about to give her some information as
to who he was, when he saw a commits
sionaire pass by on the other side of the
street. He beckoned to him, and when
the honest Auvergant stood before him,
he asked him:
"Do you, know, perhaps, Baron
Rothschild ?"
"That is funny question, sir.
Rothschild? Why, that is our money
king. Why do you ask that ques'
tion ?" he said, growlingly, for he
supposed it was mere mystiticatlon.
"Because madam here refuses to trust
him for ten francs" said Rothschild,
pointing to the woman.

One of the Men Wanted.

The Bank of England forgers, says a
letter, for a long time kept up very
large bank accounts, lived in excellent
style, presented drafts upon different
houses of good standing, which, being
genuine, were promptly paid, and they
manifested q knowledge of banking GUS
toms and rules which could only be &C
quired by persons actually in business
in Wall street or in the money mart of
London. So far as known, the other
forgers were not posted in regard to
the usages of the street; but with
Gray, who is supposed to be one of the
men, and who had a practical knowl-
edge of finance in all its branches, in
their ranks, they would find no diff.

A WRESTLING MATCH. The last

and took place in California. Two men
tried it for the championship of the
State and $3.50 in money. After num-

manner: Murray gave his antagonist,
Marky, severe fall. He lifted him
two or three feet and spun his body
from him, which fell at full length on

bodily on their shoulders, and amidst
the widest enthusiasm, carried him

sore bones and pair of disordered

Another 4necd0te Of Lincoln.

When Colonel Mulligan's Chicago
regiment lay in camp away down South,
one of the privates, named Barney, IN
moment of passion and into1ication
stabbed and terribly mangled a COM
rade. Barney was one of the hard
characters of the command, and it was
matter of no surprise when the court
martial sentenced him for this last and
gravest of his many offences to be shot,
and fixed the day of his execution.
Meanwhile, TO the surprise of every one
including the surgeons, the wounded
man began to recover and was soon pro-
nounced out of danger. Public opinion
took the usual turn. 1t was thought q
pity, after all, to shoot fine young fell
low, such as Barney was in his better
moments besides, he was one of the
boys, had been born like them in Chi
cago, grown up with them, enlisted with
them, and fought with them. A move
ment looking to petition for the cul-
prit's pardon was set on foot, in which
none Joined more heartily than the
wounded man, and the camp, which,
but Yesterday, was for lynching Barney,
now yearned to save his life. But the
General commanding had approved the
finding of the court-martial, and only
the President could interfere, and the
regiment was encamped away from the
telegraph lines. So that, though the
necessary documents had been for
warded, backed by strong recommenda-
tions. there were grave doubts if the
merciful message which Mr.. Lincoln
was almost certainly to send would
reach the camp in time. An express
was sent to the nearest telegraph sta
ton, thirty miles away, to carry the
message with all haste-and all waited
impatiently.
The night before the fatal day arriv-
ed. Barney was to be shot at sun
rise next day. No reprieve had arrived,
and reluctantly the adjutant prepared
the necessary orders, detailed the firing
party, arranged for the parade. The
night wore on. 1t is safe to say that
not an eye was closed in the camp, and
every ear was strained for hoof-beats
from the East. Past midnight, one,
two, three o'clock. There were move
ments in the gray Eastern sky; the
brilliant Southern stars paled it was
almost dawn.
Suddenly faint sound was heard, as
of q shout away to the East. The ex.
citement became electric. Men rushed
from their tents, half dressed, and
gathered in anxious groups. The Off
GERS were hardly less excited, and min
gled with them. Then in rapid success
sion were heard challenge and reply as
the advancing party passed sentry after
sentry, then the tramp and splash Of
hoofs and, atlast, burst into view the long
looked-for messenger, covered with mud
from head to foot, wan and worn out
his horse painting and travel-stained and
bruised, for they had ridden thirty
miles since midnight along roads thai
were sluices of mud and water. The
rider held his way straight to the Col
onel's tent and delivered his telegram
1t read thus:
