Carving n Turkey.

There is nothing, says MIX Adler. d
young unmarried man likes better than
to go to n dinner at the house of n
friend and he asked 10 carve the turkey
He never carved turkey in his life,
and with an old maid on one side of
him watching him closely, and on the
other side fair girl for whom he has
n tenderness, he feels embarrassed
when he begins. FIRST he pushes his
knife down toward one OF the thigh
joints. He can't find the joint. and he
plunges the knife around in search of
1t until he makes mince meat out Of
one whole quarter of the fowl. Thea
he sharpens his knife and tackles it
again. At last, while making terrific
dig, he hits the joint suddenly, and the
leg flies into the maiden lady's lap,
while her dress.front is covered with II
shower of stniling. Then he goes for
the other leg, and when the young lady
tells him he looks warm, the weather
seems to him suddenly to become 400
degrees warmer. This leg he finally
pulls loose with his fingers. He lays
1t on the edge of the plate, and while he
is hacking at the wing he gradually
pushes the leg over on the clean table
cloth, and when he picks it up it
slips from his hand into the gravy dish
and splashes the gravy around for six
square yards. just us he has made up
his mind that the turkey has no joints
to ITS wings, the host asks him if he
thinks the Indians can really be civil
lzed. The girl next to him laughs, and
he says he will explain his views upon
the subject after dinner. Then he sops
his brow with his handkerchief, and |
presses the turkey so hard with his fork |
that it slides off the dish and upsets a
goblet OF water on the girl next to him.
Nearly frantic, he gouges away again
Mt the wings, gets them off in mutt
lated condition, and digs into the breast.
Before he can cut any of, the host asks
him why he don't help out the turkey. |
he puts both legs on n |
plate and hands them to the maiden
lady, and then he helps the young girl |
to aplateful of stuffing, and, while tax
ing her plate in return, knocks over the |
Tsen he sits down with
the calmness of despair and fans him
self with n napkin, while the servant
girl clears up and takes the turkey to
the other end of the table. He doesn't
discuss the Indian question that day.
He goes right home after dinner, and !

er to commit suicide or to take lessons

An Aboriginal advertisement.

The Denver NeVS of late date con-
tains the following: "The Utes were
nipped yesterday; that is, their prepa-
rations for grand parade in honor of
that scalp were ruthlessly broken in
upon by Special Agent Thompson, who
blocked the game and put stop to the
pandemonium they had inaugurated.
Everything was in readiness for grand
powwow that would have frightened
all The horses in town out of their wits
and harness, and sent sensitive women
into Mysteries for week. The Indians
who read the Ne,os had seen that pa
rade had been arranged for yesterday
forenoon, by Mr.. Thompson's permits
sion, and so from early ctndlelght till
ten o'clock the entire outfit were active
with the busy notes of preparation.
They got out their bags of paint,
and took off their rags of clothes
and besmeared themselves with the for
mer until they looked more elegant of
apparel than ever they do with anything
of civilized construction. The bucks
were attired airily in suits Ia mode

that there was nothing left of the origi-
nal garments. Some of the lads were
gaudily clothed with simple piece of
Irvine tied negiigee about the loins, which
gave them primitive appearance. AL
together they were motley crew, so
faras their apparel went; but this, taken
with their heathenish noises and sing
ing, and beating of drums, was enough
to cast dismay into even an Arapahoe
camp. They got into line about ten
O'Clock, and sailed down towards town.
Every buck that owned gun or re-
volver had it along, anticipating glori-
GUS time shooting off his powder in the
faces of the whites in town. When they
had arrived at the bridge they were met
by Agent Thompson and Interpreter Cur
tbs, who told them they would do more
harm than good, and that the best thing
they could do would be to go right
away home. The old squaw carrying
the scalp took the hint, and made
countermarch, and the remainder of the
rabble slowly turned their horses tails
towards the town and went back to their
village somewhat disconsolate. The
streets all around tow1 were thronged
with Fasteners and curious sight-see-
ers all the forenoon, who were looking
for the gentle savages, but they were all |

The Disadvantages of Popularity.

Brown, young insurance friend of
ours, who lives in Cambridge, had the
fifth anniversary of his wedding occur
about week ago, and his friends de-
termined to celebrate his wooden we'd
ding by surprise party. Brown came
IN yesterday and told us how they sue
ceeded. They commenced by sending
a servant round with team to take
Brown and his wife out to ride about
seven. Then they began to come with
presents and materials for supper.
There was little party of five came
first, all laden-hands full. They all
got nicely inside the garden gate,
which shuts with spring, when
Browns big mastiff, which is always
left unclaimed in his masters absence
came round the corner and surprised
them. One woman stepped on her
dress, and in her fall SO demoralized a
fragile black walnut bookcase sh 2 car
ried that it was afterwards done up in
bundle and presented as kindling
wood. Another fellow got safely out of
the yard all but part of his pants, while
old Smlthers, who weighs two hundred
and twenty pounds, plunged wildly
with the eight-gallon pail of ice cream
he carried, through Browns glass hot
house in the corner of the yard, and
surprised some $50 worth of exotics.
Finally they got things fixed up and
got into the house, and as it was about
time for Browns return, they com
menced laying the supper table, They
got down tea set of rare china that
friend of Browns in the trade had
loaned him a week before, and broke
two pieces, SO that Brown has since
been obliged to mortgage his hen-housc
and buy the set; and the comments of
Mrs. Brown when she saw the condi-
ton of the carpet were sarcastic in the
extreme. Finally, as n browning touch,
they tried to hang out Chinese lanterns
with the letters welcome on them, on
the porch over the front door. They !
succeeded in hanging two lanterns, and
when they had saved the house from
the fiery fiend there wasn't enough |
porch left to pay for the trouble of
trying to hang out any more. Then
they sat down and waited for Brown |
and his wife to come home, which they
did about two o'clock in the morning,
the driver having lost his way, and !
some way or other turning up in Ded-
ham at about midnight. We draw the
veil over the scene that followed their
return. Some scenes are too joyous to
be described in cold, cold Words

"On my knee !" exclaimed Mr.. Cox.

is incomprehensible." Yes, )" resumed
Mr.. Clemens, Z" she used to sit on Your

was not there, so I'm not jealous; don't

SInilax.

This plant. native of the Cape of
GoodssHope, has now become one of the
essentials of the florist and amateur. 1t
is extensively usedin decorating pariors
and reception rooms-for weaving in
the hair, and for trimming party dresses,
for which purpose it is not only admir-
ably adapted. being an extremely grace
full vine, with glossy green leaves, but
surpasses anything with which we are
acquainted. With little care it can
be grown successfully as house plant.
The seeds should be sown in box or in
pots in the house, and should be kept
moist till the young plants appear. The
seed being rather slow TO terminate,
you must not think it bad if it does not
make its appearance in two weeks. The
young plants should be potted off into
three inch pots as soon as they are three
or four inches high. Once year the
bulbs should be allowed TO dry off and
rest. They will start into growth again
in about six weeks. The vine does not
require the full sun, but will grow well
in partially shaded situation. 1t can
be trained on a small thread across the
window or around pictures.
