RICHARDSON has more resignation than
any man of the times. he has been
resigning for months but still holds his
Office. The sweet music of his official
death is long drawn out, but he has the
hope of an immediate resurrection in the
Court. of Claims. No dormant moth
ever emerged from its chrysalis tomb
into beautiful butterfly more suddenly
than his admirers expect to see him
transformed from an Incompetent Secre-
tary of the Treasury to a competent
Judge of the Court OF Claims-compe-
tent, as usual, to draw his salary and
perquisites with unerriDg precision and
regularity. The civil service rules do
not apply in his case. He is pet in
the government family, and if he cannot
fill one position. must have another.

something of their simple, straighttor'
ward honesty into official places where 1t
is so often needed. The Changers are
eminently reformatory in their tenden-
cies, and they come to the front without
any circumlocution or dainty words
This is an era Of unusual corruption such
as has never been heard of in the days OF
ourfathers, and either the people must step
forward and take hand in politics until
high places are purified, or the public
evils will become aggravated and spread
over the whole body of society. The
Changers are on the side of right and
overridden justice. and if true to Their
professions and equal to the emergencies
Of the hour can accomplish a great mis-

BRIGHAM YOUNG.

Frequent reports about the lingering I'LL
ness of Brigham Young have set many
people to thinking over the effectwhich his
death would be likely to have upon the
future of the great sect of Mormons.
Nominally spiritual republic. the Nor
mon community of Utah has been more
nearly an autocracy than anyt hat has ex-
listed upon the earth since the days of
Kublai Khan. Notwithstanding the pre-
lenses of the free speech, free suffrage, and
free will, the body, mind and possessions
of every Mormon have been more utterly
atthe disposal OF President Brigham
Young than the person and belongings OF
any subject have been in the hand ofKhan
Kaiser. or Czar. Holding power con
jointly with two Others so far as mere
form Is concerned, Brigham Young, has

In otner Years, when Maine was dis
| trict of Massachusetts. Ezekiel WbItmaa
was among the chosen to represent the
| district in the Massachusetts Legislature.
| He was an eccentric man, and one of the
| best lawyers of his time. In these dsys
Whitman owned a farm, and did mush
work upon his land and it so happened
| that when the time came for him to set
out for Boston his bes tclOthes were suit
of home spun His wife objected TO his
going in that garb, but he did not care.
u VIII get nice suit made as soon a.
l get to Boston," he said.
Reaching his destination, Whitman
found rest at DOolittle's City Tavern. Let
it be understood that he was a graduate
of Harvard, and at this tavern he was at
home.
As he entered the parlor of the house
he found several ladies and gentlemen
were assembled, and heard the remark
from one OF them-"Ah, here comes .
countryman of the real home-spun genius,
Here's fun" Whitman stared st the COM
pany and then sat down.
"Say, my friend, are you from the
country9" remarked one of the gentle
men.
"Ya-as," answered Ezekiel, with ludi-
CE0us twist OF the face.
Ihe ladies Uttered.
AND what do you think of our city p
ITS pooty thick settled place, any
how. It's got swampin' sight @ houses
in it"
"And good many people, too"
"Ya-as, should reckon So"
Many people where you came from3E
"Wal, some"
PLENTY of ladies, I suppose ?"
"Ys-as. fair sprinklin'"
"And don't doubt that you are quite a
beau among them"
"Ya-as, beaus 'em home-teW meetin'
and singln' schewl."
Perhaps the gentleman from the coun-
trp VIII take glass of wIne?"
"Ihank'ee-don't keer eff I DO"
The wine was brought.
"You must drink a toast"
"Oh, git eOut eats toast-ne7er
heard o. sich thing as drinkin' it. But I
kin give ye 8 sentiment"
The ladies clapped their hands; but
what was their surprise when the strsn-
ger, rising, spoke calmly and clearly, in
tones ornate and dignifed, as follows:
Ladies' and gentlemen, permit me to
wish you health, and happiness, with sV,
cry other blessing earth can afford and
may you grow better and wiser with
advancing years, bearing ever in mind
that outward appearances are often de-
ceitful. You mistook me, from my dress,
for country BOBBY, while from the
same superficial cause, thought you were
ladies and gentlemen. The mistake has
been mutual"
He had just spoken, when Caleb
Strong, the Governor of the State, entered
and enquired for Mr.. Whitman. "Ah-
here am, Governor. Glad 10 see You.P
Then turning to the dumbfounded COM
pany-
Il wish you very good evening""
And he left them feeling about as
small and cheap as it is possible for full
grown people to feel.

How to Prepare Poultry,

Secure plump, well-fatted birds; bleed
them in the mouth or throat. Scald
enough to make the feathers come of
easy; pick both feathers and pin feathers
all of nicely, taking great care not to
briuse or break the skin in any Way. II
one or two in the lot should accidentally
get bruised or have the skin broken. seIl
or use at home, as they would hurt the
sale of the whole lot. Leave all the en-
trails in, and heads and feet on. Imme.
diately after they are dressed, dip once or
twice in hot water, and then in Ice water
then hang in cool place, where they
will dry of, and get stuff before packing.
Pack in boxes or barrels, in nice clean
rye straw If this CT mot be obtained, dry
Oat straw may be used. Be sure and
pack solid, so they will not bruise in
transit. Pack with breasts down. Poul-
try prepared in this way always finds q
ready market, while poor, half dressed,
sweaty-caused by packing while warm
and bruised lots, will not sell well at apV
time.
Many farmers make practice OF feed
ing their half-stavred fowls all they will
adjust before killing, and then send them
to market with full crops, IN order TO get
the price of poultry for corn. In this
they make a mistake; the crop being
swollen to an unusual size, turns black AZ
ter being packed awhile, and not only
shows clearly the dishonest Intentions Of
the hacker. but Injuries the sale Of tbs
fowls a great deal hore than s.gainea ia
weight Feed meal only, for at least tNg
DAYS before killing.
Remember, il is the appearance OF gooSE
that sells them. Nice, large, fat plump
turkeys, ducks, chickens or geese, always
bring outside prices.
When is the best time to shipi This
question is often asked. We answer
any time afler cool weather commences.
But If sent for the holidays, have them
here at least three days before Thanks
giving, Christmas, or New Years Keep
largest turkeys for New Years. Geese
sell best at Christmas.
