Was he a Coward ]?

NNHERE was not more noble craft
n than the "Saucy Kate" when she
sailed out of Marsailles harbcrin the spring
of so, and no ship was ever blessed with a
pleasanter company-who had taken the
4" Saucy Kate for New Orleans. Promi-
nent among us was British officer, who
was on his way to America, French
Able, a Kentucky farmer, and lady from
Louisiana, who was returning home with
her daughter
This daughter was the star of the COM
pany. Her name was Ida Greville, and it
was whispered that she was heiress to a
large fortune in slaves and plantations.
Yet this was not the charm that won hom-
age from all, and even from those who
might have refused TO touch property
which lay in plantation.
Her figure was slight but exceedingly
graceful. Indeed, it seemed impossible for
her TO be otherwise. Her complexion was
very fair, while her hair and eyes, in con-
trast, were intensely black; her eyes were
Southern ladies, and her hair was gath
cred about her brow ia glorious clustering
curls.
When she first entered the cabin, she
seemed so splendid an exhibition of spot
less beauty, that every one rose involuntary
from his seat, and, by one common impulse
stood up until she was seated.
In few days she showed herself as fas-
cinating in her manner as she was beauti-
ful in person, to those who were favored
with an introduction, and the hearts of all
on board were completely enslaved by this
queen Of beauty.
The British officer, whe wore the title of
Major Folsom, seemed particularly charm
ed with her; and, having obtained an in
PRODUCTION, constituted himself her special
attendant
The "Saucy Kate" was magnificent

razor, and fast as the wind itself And

man in personal appearance. He was of
rather small stature, and his limbs were
slender, even delicately formed. His hand
was as small and white as a woman's and
his features we're as finely moulded. His
face was very handsome, and his light hair
was thrown back and curled closely behind
his head. His eyes blue, but full of fire,
and capable Of lighting up with a sudden
flash which was startling to behold His
voice was shrlll but musical, and we never
heard it aroused, as the mate generally
communicated his orders to the sailors.
Now, from the first m ament it was eyi-
dent that storm was brewing between the
Major and Captain Yalmy. The Major
assumed an air of hauteur which was alb

BREAD AND BUTTER.

The girl engaged in moulding bread
Shall make some sweet heart flutter,
With hope to get the dairy-maid
To make his bread and butter.
She may not play the game croquet,
Or French and German stutter,
If well she knows the curd from whey,
And makes sweet bread and butter.
In meal and cream she's elbow deep,
And cannot stop to putter;
But says if he will sow and reap,
She'll make his bread and butter.
The dairy-maid, the farmers wife,
Shall be the toast we utter
Alone, man leads crusty life,
Without good bread and butter.

To THOSE WHO DRAW NOTES. "A man
drew note promising to pay one hun
bred dollars. He used printed form,
and did not close up the blank devoted
to dollars, and after passing it as nego-
table paper somebody inserted "and
fifty after the one hundred and before
the printed dollars. The note, thus al
tered, got into the hands of an innocent
party, who presented it to the drawer,
and the Supreme Court decided that the
maker of the note was liable for it's face,
because through negligence he did not
draw a line between the written word
" hundred and the printed word "dol-
lars" Any testimony that the drawer
might offer to establish the fact that he
gave note for one hundred dollars
must go for nothing, as "there was
nothing on the face of the note show
ing that it had been altered" Evidence
of an alteration on the face of the note
would have changed the case. Let
this be IL lesson TO all drawers of prom
issory notes No one can be too careful
in such matters.

Useful lSecIneS.

GOLDEN SALvE.-Two quarts raw lin
seed oil, three pounds good rosin, three
pounds of heeswax. Melt thoroughly
together and turn into tim boxes. This
is the best Salve known for burns,
scalds, flesh wounds, old sores, piles,
etc. To make small quantities the
same proportion as above required.
CHOCOLATE CARAMEIs.- pint new
milk, one cake chocolate Zone quarter
pound; one cup and half sugar
(white). Try this on a buttered plate,
as it will not crisp in water, and when
doue pour on buttered pans and mark
off III squares with knife as it cools,
and then it will easily break when cold.
They are very excellent.
REMEDY FOR CRoUP.-This remedy is
simply alum: Take knife or CRATER
and shave or CRATE off in small particles
about IL tablespoonful of alum, mix it
with about twice the quantity of sugar
or honey or make it pala able, and ad
mister as quickly as possible. The
doses should be separated at intervals
OF fifteen minutes, until the phlegm is
cut and cast off. This will give almost
immediate relief. The patient should
also battle his feet in hot water and APP
ply cloths wet in cold water to the
throat and chest, changing as often as
they get warm.
VINEGAR CANDY.-One cup white
sugar; one-half cup vinegar boil till
it crisps ill cold water. This makes an
excellent candy, and something bene-
ticlal also, as it is good for colds. If
the vinegar be very strong, take little
less OF 1t, and some water, but for us
the strength of the vinegar never hurts.
when done pour out on buttered plates,
and either mark off III squares an inch
or two wide as it cools, or else, when
cool enough to handle, draw it until it
is nice and white; then cut ii into
sticks.
SUGARED POP CoRN.-This delights
all children, and is within the reach of
everyone. One cup sugar (white)
half cup water; boil till it tafiies, then
sprinkle in the pop corn, as much as the
pan will hold. If nicely popped, this
will sugar two quarts of corn. Stir
well, SO that it does not stick together:
the grains ought to separate. To make
pop corn balls, take the receipt for
mossies," and boil it till it taflies,
then stir in your corn and set it from
the fire, and as it cools work it into balls
with your hands. OF course they are
not like those you buy in the cities, but
for homemade they are excellent.

A Hair.oviur Tale.

The much abused Rev. Florence Nc
Carthy, of Chicago, i'll recent lecture
on "Who Wouldn't be a Minister 2
said cone of the first troubles which
befall a minister-and it was n matter
which they would never suppose he
would have any trouble about-was the
management OF his hair Happy is the
minister whose head is shapely and
whose hair naturally falls into elegant
and handsome convolutlons. He can
get as many calls and as much salary as
he needs. If the hair is right it matters
little whether his principles be good or
doctrine sound. Ispeak ieelingly on this
subject, sad the lecturer. My own
hair has been the cause, | fear, of much
OF my misfortune | never thought of
it until recently; but now ! remember
that the people who ousted me from
Union Park Church are exactly those
who used to labor with me about my
hair. After watching pubic sentiment
in my church on this subject for about
one year, ! can assure you there were
three parties i'll it on the subject of my
hair The first insisted ON its being
brushed down close. The second on its
being stuck up on end. The thlrd-the
conservative party-on having 1t loosed
mp Noticing that these three parties
correspondent to the three divisions of IL
sermon, soon fell into the habit of de-
llyering the first head of my discourse
with my hair as now. Flattened to the
head The second division rs now.
Putting his front locks on end. The
third division of the sermon | generally
delivered with my hair brought down to
the conservative position putting his
hands through his hair and smoothing
down the more elevated locks and
even now l don't know that my hair has
given entire satitactlon.

COmpulsOry Vaccination.

A bill has been introduced into the
German Reichstag by the Government,
making not only vaccination, but also a
revaccination, compulsory. In En-
gland the law requires only the vaccina-
ton OF children. la the debates on this
bill the old dispute between the advo
Gates and the opponents of vaccination
has broken out with unusual violence,
and petitions against the passage of the
bill have been pouring i'll from all quar-
tiers. The fact that revaccination is re-
quired is used with great effect as an
argument to demonstrate the useless
ness of all vaccination. Numbers of
people have sent in statements that the
revaccinated members of their families
have died from smallpox, while the
others were not even attacked by the
loathsome disease. 1t has been attempt
ed to show that where vaccination is
general the number of deaths of infants
is much greater thanin other countries.
One of the best authorities on the sub
ject, so far as practical experience is
concerned, has published pamphlet,
wherein he maintains that the physical,
moral and mental degeneration of the
race can be traced directly to the bru-
tllizing influence of vaccination. 1t
seems to be conclusively established
that some diseases can be engrafted by
vaccine matter from one body to an
other, and that the great spread of
scrofulous diseases is mainly due to
vaccination. The advocates of vaccine
ton seem, however, to be vastly in the
majority, and the main question is now,
how practically to carry out compul-
sorry vaccination.

Marrying in Switzerland a Serious
Matter.

1t appears to be no easy matter to
get married in Switzerland. A citizen
of Schaffhausen, who had removed to
another canton, asked from his com
mune the necessary permission to
marry. The President of the commune,
in reply, told him that, in addition to
payment for the needful documents, he
would have to provide for the rights of
bourgeoise if his fiancee were Swiss,
200 francs if a foreigner. The man was
told, moreover, that he would have to
prove by certificate that he was pro-
vided with wedding outfit and for
tune of 800 francs. He would be re-
quired to pay, in addition, % francs to
the school fund, 20 francs for the mill
tary tax of 1873, and 36 tlorins II
kreutzers for expenses incurred by his
commune when he was ill in Germany.
The claims thus amounted to 233 francs
40 centimes, irrespective of all other
expenses of permissions, TRANSACTIONS,
stamps, and the cost of documents.
The man was totally unable to meet
this claim, and representations to this
effect were made to the council of his
commune by society for encouraging
marriages, but all their efforts were
useless.

TunneIing Niagara.

Shooting Niagara is to he super
seeded by Tunneling Niagara" A bill
has been introduced into the New York
Legislature forming company with a
million and half capital to build a
bridge, or tunnel, from the city of
Buffalo to or near Fort Erie, on the
other side of the Niagara river. The
Butfllo courier says of it
The design of the projectors of this
company, we are given to understand,
has in view primarily the tunnel expe-
dent, and there can be no doubt that
such work, if within the limits of the
practicable, has numerous important
advantages as compared with a bridge.
Some twenty years ago the scheme was
ably advocated by Mr.. Wallace, the en-
gineer, who satisfied himself by careful
surveys that tunnel could be con
structed from point on this side of
river at or near Jersey street. His
estimate of the cost of the undertaking
at that time was $l,000,0 900, a sum
which would probably need to be
doubled or trebled to-day"

INTEREST blister draws sharper
than interest. 1t works all day and all
night, in fair weather and in foul. 1t
has no sound in its footsteps, but
travels fast. 1t gnaws at a man sub
stance, with invisible teeth. 1t binds
industry with film as fly is bound in
spiders web. Debts roll man over
and over, binding him hand and foot,
and letting him hang upon the fatal
mesh until the long-legged interest de-
YOURS him. There is but one thing on n
farm or plantation like it. and that is
the Canada thistle, which swarms new
plants every time you break it's roots ;
whose blossoms are prolific. and every
flower the father of million seeds !;
every leaf is an awl, every branch is a
spear, and every plant like a platoon of
bayonets, and field of them like an
armed host the whole plant torment
and vegetable curse, aud yet the farm
er had better make his bed of Canada
thistles than attempt to be at ease upon
interest

How TO SELECT FLoUR.-Look at lis
color if it is white. with a slightly
yellowish or straw colored tint, it is Il
good sign. If it is very white, with a
blush cast with white specks i'll it, the
flour is not good. Examine its adj
hesiveness-wet and knead little of it
between the fingers if it works dry and
elastic it is good if it works soft and
sticky it i, poor. Flour made from
spring wheat is likely to be sticky.
Throw little lump of dry flour against
dry, smooth, perpendicular surface :;
if it adheres in IA lump the flour has life
III it if it falls like powder it is bad.
Squeeze some of the flour i'll your
hands if it retain the shape gwen by
the pressure, that too is good sign.
Flour that will stand all these tests it is
safe to buy. These modes were given
by old flour dealers, and we make no
apology for printing them, as they per-
tain to matter that concerns every
body, namely, the quality of that which
is "the staff of life"
