How to Cook q Beefsteak.

A beefsteak is always best broiled !;
but the following method is recon-
mended when broiling is not convenient:
The frying pan being wiped dry, place
it upon the stove to become hot. In
the meantime pepper and salt the steak,
then lay it on the hot dry pan and in
stantly cover as tightly as possible.
When the raw flesh touches the heated
pan, of course it seethes and adheres to.
it, but in few seconds it becomes
loosened and juicy. Every half minute
turn the steak but be careful to keep
it much as possible under cover. When
nearly done lay small piece of butter
upon it, and if You want much gravy
add a tablespoonful of strong coffee.
This makes the meat delicious, deli
cately broiled steak, full of Juice, yet

He Went to the Wrong Lodge.

A Richmond va paper tells story
of very sagacious dog and very fool
ish man, and the man owns the dog.
He is a married man, and the other
evening told his young wife that he was
going to the "lodge." The wife
anxiously looked for the return of her
husband until the small hours of the
morning, and finally there was scratch
ing at the door. She opened it. The
dog was there and something more. He
had in his mouth bloody handkerchief
and round piece of ivory about the
size of silver dollar. She did not
know anything about the ivory, but the
bloody handkerchief suggested to her
terrible story. She put on her bonnet
and followed the dog. He piloted her
to the lodge, which was in an upper
chamber of a high building, and there
on the floor in one corner was her hus-
band, with badly swollen eye and. a
bleeding nose and useless legs. He
could not walk home, but there was a
reas on for that, which disappeared in a
few hours. That young man wants to
dispose of a very faithful, well-meaning
dog. He also wants to find the man
who hit him on the nose in the gam
bling-house.

large, wooden building, dilapidated
and weather beaten, and yet suggesting
in its architecture something of old-time
elegance and comfort, stands on Fifth
avenue, near Seventy sixth street. 1t
faces the Park, and, from it's size and
evident age, attracts the notice of every
passer-by. The house was formerly the
residence of one of our oldest and most
aristocratic families. A daughter was
born in this old homestead, who, las years
passed away, grew up beautiful and ac-
compished. She received a fine educa-
ton, and, arriving at womanheod few
years since, entered society few years
since, and was as much admired for her
mental Accomplishments as for the graces
of her person. An heiress to large
fortune, her admirers were many, and
many eligible offers were made her. Her
heart, however, remained free until n
few months since, when she met young
man of Southern parentage, an employee
in n down town house. His character
and connections are said to beirreproach-
| able. The heiress made deep impress
sion upon him, and he began to pay his
suit to her. The young man proceeded
from the outset in a manly, honorable
manner, and sought an interview with
the father of the young lady and asked
his permission to make a proposal of
marriage. The father told him that, al
though he respected him, there was Il
serious and to him insurmountable OBJ
stacle to n union. "You are poor
young man," said he, land have your
way to make in the world l have al
ways intended that my daughter shall
marry man whose fortune equals that
which shall be hers. For this reason,
which is with me one of grave impor-
lance, l hope there will be no more of
this. l esteem you, and believe you to
be gentleman of honor, and l trust
you will have regard for my feelings
in this matter" The young man replied
that he should never enter any family
an unwelcome member. The young
lady saw him no more At first she Won
dered, then sorrowed, and finally set
tied dependency took possession of her.
Her parents, neither of whom had told
her that her lover had asked her hand
of them, sought vainly to divert and
arouse her from state of mind which
began to cause them serious uneasiness.
At length they planned trip to Europe
for her; and, although the season OF
the year was not that in which pleasure
journeys thither are usually undertaken,
they made all haste to get her off She
herself was utterly Indifferent, and saw
the preparations for her departure hrr-
ried without manifesting any interest in
them or the projected journey. Her
friends, hearing of her intended depart
ure, gathered to wish her happy trip
and a safe return. Finally the day of
departure arrived, and from the dock
the girls parents waved their farewells
and their prayers went up for her safety
and happiness.
The ship steamed calamity out to sea
and was lost to sight. Days after came
the news of terrible disaster. The
vessel was the Vile du Havre, and the
name of the daughter was in the list of
the lost.-NC,e York GfaDhic.

OF the seamen belonging to the Vile du

the second officer saw her fifteen min

When she was struck, the passen-

An Indians Experience with a Breech.
Loading Rifle.

Max Adeler says: "When breech-
loading rifles We're first introduced
among the Kickapoo Indians, the prin-
ciple upon which the weapons are con-
structed was not exactly understood.
Jumping Bear got hold of one, the bar
rel of which opened at the rear with
spring and was attached to the stock
with hinge. The chief got it open and
put the cartridge in, and then he was
deeply perplexed to know how to get
the barrel back in it's place again. After
making sllndry futile efforts, he aban-
doned the attempt and carried the gun
around with the stock hanging loose.
He thought he would use it as club,
at any rate, even if it wouldn't shoot
One day, soon afterward, he became en-
gagged in a discussion with an Arrapahoe
Indian, probably ON the subject of
Cesarism, or hired girls, or the price of
mutton, or something of the sort-and
he attempted to convince the other gen.
tleman of the unsoundness of his views
by whanging him over the head with
the demoralized gun. AS the butt struck
the noble savage, it shut on the end of
the barrel with slam, exploded the
cartridge, and in less than q minute that
exasperated leader of the Kickapoo Sec
ton of the North American Indian race
was browsing around in the happy hunt
ing grounds in condition of unfeigned
establishment. His bereaved family
neglected to load up that sacred relic Of
their departed head until they had taken
a few lessons; but now, when an Arrap-
ahoe Indian presents heretical opinions
concerning mutton or such things, they
perforate him properly"
RECENTLY, two young men living in
Detroit, anxious to exhibit their nerve,
laid wager with third person, which
resulted in some rifle shooting of an
extraordinary character. A dozen ap-
pies were procured, and one of the gen
tlemen stood 40 feet d slant from the
other, who shot with rifle each of the
dozen apples in succession from his
trends head, after the manner of the
late William Tell. Not satisfied with
that, the apple holder procured COM
mon paste-board matchbox cover, and
held it close to his head, between his
finger and thumb, and in that position
permitted his friend to- fire three times
at it, each going "plumb" center.

A Boat Steered by COrpse-A Mys.
terry Of Lake Erie.

On Sunday morning two farmers and
their families, who were driving to
Maiden to attend church, when about
eight miles below, or east of the town,
saw a ships yawl on the lake heading
toward the beach and about half a mile
away. They could plainly make out
man i'll the stern sheets steering the
boat with an oar, and although there
were no vessels in sight, the morning
was SO pleasant and the sea so smooth
that it was supposed the man had put
out from shore to pick up something,
and but little attention was paid to the
yawl. Passing the came spot on their
return, the men found the yawl hard on
the beach, and the man sitting stiff and
motionless in her stern, lifeless, and
frozen as hard as a rock. He sat bolt
upright on the seat, the oar out behind
and both hands clasping the handle, and
it required hard work to wrench it from
his death-grip. There was about foot
of water in the boat, but the craft did
not show rough usage. The mans legs
were almost covered with ice as far up
as his knees, and the spray had dashed
over his back and shoulders and frozen
there. There was no name on the boat,
and the person who brought the in
formation to Windsor could not say that
anything was found on the person of
the man to reveal his identity nor to
show how he had been cast adrift. He
must have been dead mt least three days
or more There was neither sail nor
mast to the boat, and nothing in it but
the one oar, showing that the poor fell
low had not intended long trip any
hnr, unl that l,,
blown off the shore. He had used his
oar to keep before the wind, and had
frozen to death on his seat, where he
was so firmly held by the ice that it had
to be broken with stone before he
could be pulled off-DetroH Free Press.
