Mamkato-The citizens are to vote

tion of issuing $4,000 bonds to intro
duce water works into the city.-The
Mankato Union gives an account OF the
sudden death of one Erick Erickson,
aged "a years, living in Butternut VAL
ley near Lake Crystal, under circum-
stances somewhat suspicious, or at
least that proved serious to couple
CANNES. The old gentleman lived with
wife some years younger and with a
son 20 years of age. On Thursday
evening he dined on minute pudding or
wheat mush, and soon after supper he
was taken with cramps and spasms and
died before nine. One loser, neigh.
Dor, was called to the aid of the sick
man and with him came his dog; in the
morning the dog was dead. An exam
ination was had of the dogs stomach
and strychnine found therein, and also
some of the mush. This led to an in.
quest, and while this was in progress
another dog licked wooden spoon that
lay just outside the door, and in 20
minutes there was another dead dog.
The jury thought that cold poison was
scattered around rather loosely and
reached the conclusion, that Mary
Erickson the wife, and Erick the son,
should be arrested and held while the
stomach and heart of the father be
searched for some of that same poison
it hath been done accordingly.

The Elder Booth.

a writer in tho New York News relates
Clio following anecdote Of J. Il. Booth:
Upon ono occasion IN New York, during
an engagement OF Booth. the tragedy OF
s'Jnlius C.rsar' was produced. Booth playing
Cassius. The representative of Brutus hav.
ing been dining with some friends. in the
endeavor to drown the remembrance Of
some domestic trouble had taken more than
lis usual quantity Of wine.
During the performance. the audience
perceiying his situation, manifested some
stisaprrobation. At the close of the first
act. conscious that he had overstepped the
bounds of prudence. he asked Booth what
he ''should do to get through with his part"
Booth. in spirit Of mischief. replied. Use
my remedy
'.Why, get some vinegar in tea cup, put
come snuff in it. mix the two together. pour
Il into your hand aud inhale it through your
nose.
Brutu-. no. dreaming of the Consequences
that were to ensue. imbibeG sufficient
quantity to produce lit Of sneezing. which
Nc found it difficult to overcome.
After entering the stage he saluted the
&ud:enee with i snecze and struggled hard
90 smother the effects of the snuff III which
Ae succeeded. unHl the attempt was visible
an the contortions of his face. The follow.
sng reply to CassiI;s WAS rendered thus:
Be not deceived; If have vailed my look isneese'!
iUrn the trouble OF nv coutenance
Merely upon my SELF snee,.'i vexed am lsneeze'l
Az late. with passions OF some difference snee.e!s
conceptions only vsoper to myse.: tbass that
suufl'i
Which lsnss;e'! si'r come .sne.:.'; sai perhaps.
20 my behavior.
All HIS efforts were unava;lirg TO check
sle effect OF Booths remedy. which proved
worse than the disease, and the 'noblest
Roman OF! them all was taken b. the nose
IN the most unromantic manner. The sneez.
Ing operation. Ike that OF yawning. became
coutag cus. or. perhaps. the visitors OF the
Eowery Theatre were ''up To snuff" for i'm.
:nediatey after one q; Bruins commissions
q p:odiginus sneeze echoed from the au.
siience. What rendered the affair still! more
ludiorous was that the representative OF
Rrutus several times attempted TO sneeze.
bu: failing. the audience did II fos him. and
then. when they expected the actor was
quiet. he would give a final one. which
caused the whole house to echo with laugh
ter. Thus was the tragedy converted into
oIe OF the most laughable farces ever en-
acted upon any stage.

English Ignorance Of America.

1t is we'll known that the English are
wonderfully ignorant Of American geo.
graphy. but it is not often that they confess
it. Lord Roseberg. in q recent speech in
London, said that ''he could walk up to a
map in the dark and put his foger on the
site of Cicero's villa. but if any one asked
him where San francisco was he should
have to think twice. This remark recalls
to the table-talk editor OF the Gcn''eman's
Magazine similar remark Of Mr.. Golden.
"These men," said Golden. speaking OF
English ambassadors. and Of the necessity
of turning them into commercial travellers
':hese men know where the Ilssus is: bu:
they know nothing OF the Mississippi" lit
was twenty years ago. "Ye: the Misss.
sippi could :ioat all the navies of Europe
upon its bosom, and i. took me half dav
to find the Ilissus when was in Athens.
and then only found the bed of the river.

Educated Oysters.

Before the railroad days our oyster grow
cts used early in the fall to canvass the vii
lages on the Hudson river for oysters, to be
filled Just before the river would be closed
with ice. The meaning Of this is that these
men committed themselves to supply Oys
ters in the shell, with tho guarantee tina.
the biyalves thus supplied should not die
before their time came. The oysters were
actually kept alive during the greater part
% the long winter. The fat bivalves were
handled with some care. and were spread on
the cellar floor, the round or lower side
s'own. so az not to allow the liquor to escape.
TIA: such life required great change o:
Capacity or habit in the bivalve is evident;
and it needed a training, yes. an education,
G:e the oyster attained no such ability.
and this was the way 1t was done: Be.
ginning early in the fall, the cultivatOr OF
the oyster took up the fat biyalves
from their bed where he had planted them.
and laid them little higher up on the
shore. SO that for "a short time each day they
were exposed out Of the water. After a
few days of this exposure by the retreating
tide. they were moved q little higher still
on the shore line, which gave them q little
longer exposure to the air at each low tide.
And this process was continued. each re.
:noye resulting in a longer exposure. And
with what results! Two very curious ones
endurement to exposure, and the incul.
cation of a proyident habit Of making pre-.
paration for the same. What providence
in an oyster. Yes. when he's educated.
When accustomed to this treatment. ere
the tide retires, the oyster takes a good full
drink. and retains the same until the tide
returns. Once. while waiting for the
stage at a country hostelry. we over.
heard the following conversation be.
tween two rustic practitioners at the bar:
"COme, Swill. let's take a drink" "Well,
don't know. Amt dry myself. IIows'eyer.
guess will take drink. for fear might
get dry" With better philosophy on their
side, these educated oysters, twice in every
twenty.four hour. took their precautionary
drink. The French method Of oyster train.
Ing is much more labOrious. The adult hi.
valves are carefully spread out in the water.
and periodical lessons are given TO each one
individually. Zach oyster on this occasion
receives tap. not with terule. but with a
email! iron instrument. This causes the
b;yalve to close tightly. Finally the last
day comes with its last premonitory tap.
