Pork AND BEANs.-This is the way
the down-east lumbermen cook them,
who eat them twice day four or five
months each year: Take one quart of
beans; first soak, if pea-beans, until
they are swelled full-it will take over
night, certain; if yellow-eyes parboil
the skins crack open when blown on
with the breath; drain off the water,
put about two-thirds the beans in the
pot, put in one and one-half pounds fat
sslt pork, then the rest of the beans;
bake not less than twelve hours, first
covering the beans with hot water.
These are genuine Yankee pork and
beans. The way they are cooked in the
woods is this: A hole is dug at the
foot of the fire, filed with hot Goals,
the. bean-pot put in, filled around with
Goals and covered with hot ashes.
where it remains from about three p. NJ.
until breakfast the following morning
about fourteen OF fifteen hours. There
are probably more beans eaten in Maine
than in the whole State of New York.

THE CHURCH.
The procession winds through the meadows into
o narrow lane skirted by q row OF laborers cot
tages, and stops in front OF the little Catholic
Church of st. Mary's AS Kentish villages are not
generally populous with Catholics, you will under
stand why this chapel only contains 200 seats. 1t
is small, plainly built, uncomfortable and was GER
tanly not intended by its builders as the resting
place of Napoleon We walked through it before
the procession marched. In the front, within the
chancel were three chairs and praying desks
Here the imperial family always worshipped. The
middle one Uhe Emperors) was draped In black,
the little church was hung in black and the floor
covered with black CLOTH AS only two hundred

tickets came before the procession started On

Princess Clothilde, Princess Mathilde. the wne OF
Marshal CanrObert, Princess Murat countess faii'
kao, Madame st. Arnaud, Duchess de MohtHorency
and others of the wit and beauty and splendor OF
the Empire few Sisters OF Mercy, who had been
praying over the remains, took seats near the altar
The correspondents came early and had seats near
the chance.
THE MASS FOR THE DEAD.
About halEpast eleven the procession OF clergy
left the altar and marched down the sasle. NapO-
leon was at the door of the tomb, and they stood
awaiting. AS the body was moved In the m0urners
and the Bishop OF Southwark, who was to say
the prayers, and the whole assembly arose; tears
and articulate sObs burst from the ladies and
many of the gentlemen. The coffin was placed in
front of the altar. The Prince Imperial sat It,
Behind him were the Imperial Princes. There was
rush and noise as the few who had tickets found
their seats. But in time all were seated, and the
Bishop, assisted by eight priests, knelt at the
affairs loot and began the solemn mass for the
dead. The music was sweet and simple the mass
being Gregorian plain chant, and the choir CON-
posed OF boys from st. Georges Cathedral, London.
The various rites Of the Church were observed
Holy water was sprnkled upon the coffin, incense
was waited over it, and finally when the service was
over the prayer for the dead had been recited and
the benediction pronounced it was quietly removed
into narrow alcove or resting place in the wall,
and Napoleon Ill. was in his grave There was
pause as the Prince Imperial advanced, knelt,
,made prayer and sprinkled the tomb with holy
fwater. Prince Napoleon followed his example, and
they left the church together, entered carriage

}Cheer, which the Prince gracefully acknowledged.
}At about half-past one the funeral was done.

Through the alleged gross carelessness Of q tin
roofer Newark came very near losing Its City Hall
last evening. About quarter past five O'Clock,
finishing NJ his job on the roof, the roofer dumped
his bucket Of red hot Goals on the tin sheathing.
The result was that the woodwork underneath
soon caught fire near the cup0la, and in few mo-
ments the whole roof was enveoped In names.
Fortunately Chief Carhuff, OF the Fire Department.
was in the building at the time. His men were
soon on hand also, and the flames were extin-
guished before much damage was done. AS IL 49,
water did more hurt than the fire. The city officers

were considerably frightened, and Tor time y

The Battle Of the Birds.

The Wilmington On. c. Post gives
brief account of a prolonged contest
that was going on last week between a
flock of about dozen doves and twenty
five or thirty martens, at point short
distance from that city. The martens.
which are described as carpet-baggers
from South Carolina, attempted to GUST
the doves from the dovecote where they
had been born, ind which they knew as
their homes. In the morning, as fast as
the doves left their box, they were beset
by the martens and driven off, the latter
obtaining possession. The doves would
be kept out all day, but at night would
return in force and manage to regain
possession of their homes, and remain
there during the night, to be dispos-
sessed again in the morning. This was
kept up regularly during the three days
the informant remained at that point,
and it is not known as yet whether the
carpet-baggers or the natives are finally
victorious.

Feeding Patient Through the Nose.

The current report of the Belfast
Hospital for the Insane contains an ac-
count of a remarkable case of a woman
who had with the utmost pertinacity,
refused all food or drink. For nearly
three weeks after her admission, says
the report, she continued this resist
ance, during which time it was necessary
to feed her forcibly, in order to prevent
her sinking from inanition. This was
accomplished very successfully, though
with great difficulty, by means of a
small glass tun dish or funnel intro
duced into one nostril, the other being
firmly closed as well as the mouth,
while she lay on mattress, her hands
and feet being kept confined by attend
ants to prevent struggling, and thus
small quantities of the strongest nour-
ishment, together with stimulants, such
as brandy and milk, yolks of eggs, beef
essence, etc, were administered three
or four times at short intervals during
the twenty-four hours, till she came
round gradually to take food at her own
accord, and lost all her decisions and
in the course of a couple of months af-
forwards returned to her family quite
restored in mental and physical health.

"A Danbury gentleman of three score

"A Sixth Ward inebriate, aged fifteen
years, was put out of saloon, Friday

They believe it is there, however. Peo-

There were several velocipedes
standing at one of the freight depots,
the other day, consigned to Hamlin.
Among those who stood around and
admired them, and thought of the bruises
they had received in former tussles, was
one who blushingly confessed that he
had learned to ride one of the critters,
and was proud to believe that he was
calculated to shine on velocipede. He
stood around while, and then he re-
moved one from the pile, looked about
to see that none of the authorities were
in sight, and eagerly jumped on. Per-
haps Eve do not know positively the
shipper had presentiment people
would meddle with the goods. At any
rate he took the precaution to cover the
seats with sheep skin, which concealed
within its innocent folds the sharp
points of numerous tacks. But we will
not anticipate. AS soon as the young
man mounted the velocipede he dis
mounted again, and taking his hat in
one hand and placing the other under
the tail of his coat, he shouted ".fre ?"

TIE BURSTING BARNS.
Tho grateful fields have given their grain
To labor aud refreshing rain;
Our barns are filled, and nj their backs
Stand stately rows of towering stacks.
The people need our corn and wheat,
Aud they will pay for what they eat;
But soulless corporations stand
Between the people and the land.
Who build the railroads, and for what
By men who wish our corn to rot?
Then let the sovereign people stand
For equal rights throughout the land.
One more specimen will be given. 1t is tender
Aucolical strain from some youthful agriculturist

And in my work take much Joy,
If / succeed.
But when work, and that for naught,
And do not gain for what wrought,

And will good men stand tsmely byi
And see the fend Monopoly
Destroy my good?

The summers fruit and autumns grain.

Winnie got everything ready to draw
the picture, and then called Bonnie to
ace what pretty one she could make.
Fido was very quiet, but Benny
looked over the shoulder of his sister
and laughed at her mistakes. This was
not right, but he said that the picture
looked so funny that he guessed she was
drawing chicken.
Winnie forgot to draw any ears for her
dog, and Fanny said that she made the
eyes look like torn button-holes, and the
nose like goose's bill.
Winnie did not like to have her little
brother talk so, but she did not say any
thing cross to him.
When the picture was finished and
Winnie took look at it herself, she did
not wonder that Benny had talked and
acted SO.
Then she laughed Mt it herself, and
Fido almost laughed too. She had
made only three legs, and Benny said
that Fido must have been to the war
and lost one leg and both ears.
Winnie did not give it up, but tried
again, singing as she did so.
III at first you don't succeed,
Try, try again"
Winnie kept on trying, and soon drew
picture that looked very much like
Fido.
She is now woman and can make
any kind of a picture.
She spends all her time in teaching
little folks how to draw, and she often
tells the story of her first picture and
when they fail she says
"Try, try again"

there amt no doctor could patch up

though there was little fear of that
broken whisper reaching any ears but
those close to it, "it's what / wanted

answered Coon, still reluctantly "yes,

A CLEAN of intense delight for the mo-
ment almost drove the death-look from

whispered softly to himself, and laid his
head back again.
Yes, it was all right, as Heaven sees
riiht. When John Sawyer had been
discharged for want of evidence, when
the Lake-Village gossips, wondering
over the strangers disappearance, con-
cluded that his boasts had been mere
idle talk to make sensation, Marcy
could have told them better. She knew
how it was Joe had died, she knew that

Standing on Barrel-A Reminiscence
of Cheyenne.

An incident worth recording happened
IN restaurant on Fifth street, a day or
two ago. Connected with the press of
tins city is young man who spent the
years 81, '68 and part of 80 along the
Union Pacific railroad, then in process
OF construction. On the morning in
question the newspaper attache went
INTO the restaurant, and sat down ut
table. Vis-a-Uis sat another young man,
who presently accosted the newspaper
man:
Mister, it strikes me I've seen you
before"
"Quite likely" was the response.
Weren't you at Cheyenne in the
spring of '6S?"
Eyes"
Didn't you and Chance H help
fellow down off barrel that was set
up on end under tree, one night %
This was the introduction. 1t re-
newed an acquaintance that began by
the saving of life, when its owner was
pinioned, a rope about his neck, with
the other end tied to tree, while a saw
age and unrelenting Committee of
Safety" stood, waiting for the barrel on
which the poor wretch stood, to be
kicked out from under him. The DOOM
ed man was a gambler, but he was q
quiet, peaceable fellow, who harmed no
one. One night he had won sum of
money from man who belonged to the
committee of safety, and the latter at
tempted to make him give it back. In
the affair which ensued vacancy was
made in the committee. This is what
had brought Sam A into the pres
ence of death there under the tree. The
two men had gone among the mob, and
by entreaty and expostulation had sue
ceeded in getting the poor fellows sud-
den sentence COMMITTED" on condition
that he should leave the town in thirty
minutes. They took him down off the
barrel, united the rope from his neck,
and Cheyenne saw him no more. After
five years he and one of the preservers
of his life met thus by odd chance. 1t
is well enough to add that the life was
saved to some purpose, for the man who
'stood upon the barrel" is now the
trusted agent of mining company
operating in Montana, and is in all re-
spects useful citizen. 1t was close
shave.-N. Louis Republican.
