M,Nulta on the Rampage

The gentleman from Illinois, Mr.. McNulta,
has been making himselfvery conspicuous in
the House of Representatives at Washing
ton. The gentleman from Illinois has been
making himself very disagreeable. In ad-
ditlon TO these two exploits, the gentleman
from Illinois, to put it in mild terms, has
been making an ass of himself He sue
ceeded in doing it in this wise From time
immemorial, it has been a usage of the
House to set apart a front bench in the
members gallery for the use of the Speak

family or for visitors of distinction. This
usage has never been questioned by any
member of the House, and no attempt has
been made to interfere with it. Recently.
however, Mr.. Men ulta tried Lu force ms
family into the seat, and was prevented by
the usher. Fired with indignation It this
outrage upon the rights of free aud en-
hghtened American citizen, the gentleman
from Illinois first abused the usher and
then wrathfully descended to the floor of
the House to assert his rights. The Speak

matter, and, while deprecating any wish
upon his own part to insist upon the privi-
lege, nevertheless wished to have it clearly

man from Illinois, finding that things were

Nfcknamed Churches.

There are great many churches in
this city that are known better by their
slang names than by any other. First
aud foremost is "The Little Church
Around the Corner" that is never called
by any other name. Before it received
that name, however, it was called the
I" Church of the Holy Cucumber" from
the way in which If covers the ground.
The present name has become so popu-
lar that few know it by any other, and 7
could not now tell you what IFS zeal
name is. When the excitement about
this church was at it's height, used to
see a drayman's cart about town with
" The Little Church Around the Cor
ner" painted in big letters on the dash
board. The Rev. DR.. Bellows church,
which is built of alternate layers of
marble and brick, is known as the
Holy Zebra" or the "Beefsteak.
There is a church further up town of
the Dolly Warden style of architecture
that goes by the name of the ",Holy
Oll-cloth." 81. Adams is called the
" Holy Candlestick, from its very high
church tendencies, and there is another
known as the Great Tea Warehouse
of Prayer" An Episcopal church on
Fifth avenue, in the neighborhood OF
Murray Hill, whose rector and curate
have each the uneviable reputation of
being cruel fiirts, is known as the
Church of the Holy Jilts. There
are other churches with slang names,
but these are among the best Known

HOrse-Thieves on the Plains.

The night after General Sheridan left
the Cheyenne agency band of horse
thieves, headed by the notorious des-
peradO, Jack Dunnigan, invaded the
place and succeeded In running off sew
eDty-fve head of fine Indian ponies be-
longing to the agency. Sheridan heard
of the bold exploit the next morning,
and sent orders to Fort Dodge to p1r-
sue the thieves as soon as possible, and
when found g to plant them on the
prairie without any further ado. Act.
ing under these orders, two detachments
started out from Dodge hard on the
trail of the flying thieves, who, bur
dened by the unmanageabIe herd of
ponies, were making slow progress to-
ward the northeast. About eighty
miles north of Dodge, on the north
fork of the Pawnee, the military came
upon the thieves, who, seeing that their
time had evidently come, prepared to
fight the thing out to the bitter end.
There were only three of thenl-one
having left before the appearance of the
military with part of the ponies-but
they thought not of surrender, and
calmly laid down in the "buffalo wal
lows" with their rifles to see the thing
ont, For nearly an hour the skirmish
lasted, and there was no let up till the
horse-thieves had been riddled through
and through. Then the military cap
tured the ponies, seOoped out hole in
the prairie, and literally planted " the
villains. Meantime another party under
the direction of Agent Miles were
spreading about the country to cut off
the retreat of Dunnigan, the chief of
all the offenders. They followed him
to Hutchinson and thence across the
country to some point near Leaven-
worth, but he succeeded in escaping
capture, and is now secreted somewhere
In Platte county, Missouri. Dunnigan
is the most cumming and deliberate
horse-thief on the frontier, and $500
viii readily be given for his capture.

The VeritabIe Lexington.

Your notice yesterday of the famous
Kentucky horse Lexington, reminds me
of an anecdote respecting him, which
is at your service if you deem it worth
anything
In 1853, or early in ga, large numbers
of condemned army horses were oeca-
sionally mustered and sold at auction
in Nashville, Tennessee. On one occa-
sion string of one hundred or 80 were
hitched TO a fence to be sold at twelve
o'clock. A gentleman wanted TO buy
three or four, and not being a Judge Of
horses, got an expert to point out few
that would do to resuperate. OF course
they were ali in a sad LOOKING plight /;
condemned sure enough. The expert
passed along down the line marking
such as would do TO bid on. In passing
down he paused at a very shabby-look-
ing frame of bones, cycling him for a
minute with apparent interest. After
making the end of the line, he remarked
to his friend, "There's a horse back
yonder / want to look at again." So he
h"Oins again to survey the same old
horse.
There is something remarkable about
the horse" said the examiner. "Surely
you would not have me to bid on him ?''
said the purchaser. No, but there's
something remarkable about him / don't
understand, and continued to examine
very infinitely. "This," said he. "is a
high-blooded horse, and worth more
money, five times over, than all the
troop beside. Still, he is n mystery to
me. He is certainly Lexington horse.
and yet is too old for any of Lexington's
colts. I don't understand it. There's
something strange about him. There is
no such horse in this country, and vel
here he is" The man had never seen
Lexington, and was not dreaming OF
him.
This led to inquiry where the horse
came from. 1t proved 10 be the veritable
Lexington himself. He had been cap.

others, and, after months of "hard ser

Eggs vs. Meat.

Would it not be wise to substitute
more eggs for meat in our daily diet !?
About one-third of the weight of an
egg is solid nutriment. This is more
than can be said of meat. There are no
bones and tough pieces that have to be
laid aside. a good egg is made up of
ten parts shell, sixty parts white and
thirty parts yelk. The white of an egg
contains eighty-six per cent. water the
yelk ffty-two per cent. The average
weight of an egg is about two ounces.
Practically an egg Is animal food, and
yet there Is none of the disaereeabIe
work of the butcheEnecessary to obtain
ii. The vegetarians of England use
eggs freely, and many Of these men are
eighty and ninety years old, and have
been remark bly, free from illness. Eggs
are best when cooked four minutes.
This takes away the animal taste that is
offensive to some, but does not harden
the white or yeik as to make them hard
TO DIGEST. An egg if cooked very hard
IS difficult of digestion, except by these
with stout stomachs such eggs should
be eaten with bread and masticated
very finely. An egg spread on toast is
food fit for king, if kings deserve any
better food than anybody else, which is
doubtful. Fried eggs are less whole
some than boiled ones. An egg drop
ped into hot water is not only q clean
and handsome, but delicious morsel.
Most people spoil the taste of their eggs
by adding pepper and salt. little
sweet butter is the best dressing. EGGS
contain phosphorus, which is supposed TO
be useful to those who use their brains
much.

Won 1IOltke's Habits of Life.

A French tourist in Germany gives an
account of Won Moltke's daily life in
the country. The chateau and village
belonging to the old marshal are stu
ated in Silesia, where they lie amid
fertile lands diversified by pleasant
scenery. The dwelling house is more
spacious than elegant, its white-washed
wall and green shutters making it look
like the property of some peasant grown
rich. Its solitary owner rises regularly
at 5, warns his coffee, which is pre-
pared over night, on his lamp fed by
spirits of wine, and then goes ont i'm
mediateiy INTO the park. His medita-
tive air as he walks Bp and down the
alleys, his closely shaver face, we'll
fuFrowed with wrinkles, his stiff, black
cravat, long coat and SLOUGH hat, give
him the air of some old Lutheran min
lister preparing his Sunday sermon.
At the marshal commences a general
round of inspection through the stables,
granary, mills. and distillery, until he
arrives at the orchard, where he loves
to linger, knife in hand, now pruning
some unruly branch, or anon removing
dead twigs. At 10 he breakfasts on
bowl of soup or glass of wine, with a
slice of bread and butter. Then he
runs through his correspondence.
Walking follows, or 8 drive to visit
some neigbbor, aud the return does not
take place until 8 o'clock for tea. On
Sundays alone he abstains from work,
but after going to church he spends the
remaining hours among his workmen
and Iaborers in pious readings, for he is
sincerely religious. Often at night he
visits his wife's tomb, which is con-
cealed by a row of expresses, on a hill
ock in the park. She died on the
Christmas night of 1866. She was
young and charming, and they appear
to have been tenderly attached to each
other, although he might have been her
father. Whenever he arrives at his
seat, his first care. prior to entering his
house, is to go and pray at her grave.

How to FIX the Clock.

When the clock stops, do not take it
to the repair shop till you have tried as
follows Take off the pointers and the
face; take off the pendulum and it's
wire. Remove the ratchet from the
"tick" wheel, and the clock will run
down with great velocity let it go /;
the increasing speed wears away the
gum and dust from the pinions-the
clock cleans itself. If you have any
sperm oil, put the least bit on the AK
les. Pat the machine together, and
nine times in ten it will run Just as we'll
as if it had been taken to the shop. In
fact, this is the way most shOpmen
clean clocks. If, instead of a pendu-
lum, the clock has a watch escapement,
this latter can be taken out in an in
slant, without taking the works apart,
and the result is the same. 1t takes
about twenty minutes to clean brass
clock, and saves a dollar,

Value Of Blood.

E. F., Madison, county, n. Y: "Can
] afford to pay $50 for a Short-horn bull
calf, from a good milking family, to use
in my dairy of thirty COWS, rather than
to use a good common bull worth only
81 ?" We answer yes, and more than
$50. All good dairymen are now learn
ing the policy of raising their own COWS.
Now, suppose from your thirty COWS
you raise ten heller calves for the dairy,
The milking strain of Short-horn blood
ha8 proved itself excellent, both for
quantity and quality of milk. 1t also
gives good feeding qualities, and viii
produce a much more valuable carcass
Tor the butcher. We know some half
blood Short-hoIns that give 1900 to
5000 pounds of milk, and 800 pounds
of butter per year. 1t is quite safe TO
say that your heifers, at one year old,
would be worth SO per head more than
common ones; this, therefore, would
pay You 800 extra the first year on the
heifer account, and if you should raise
as many steers, they would be worth as
much extra. A dairyman certainly
makes a bad mistake to use common
bulls when he is raising heifers for the
dairy or steers for the butcher. He had
better pay double the sum that T. men

Transportation of Coal Oil On Steam
boats.

Section 4 of the steamboat law, &C
cording to a recent decision of the secre-
tary of the treasury, forbids the trans
pOrtation of coal oil, crude or refined
petroleum, or other like explosive burn
ing-huids, on passenger steamers, ex-
cept as provided In rule 18th, enacted
by the board of supervising inspectors.
The rule says: "Re6ned petroleum,
which Will not ignite at a temperature
less than one hundred and ten degrees
Fahrenheit, may, upon routes where
there is no other practicable mode of
transporting it, be> carried on passen-
ger steamers, upon the guards or for

degree of temperature (Fahrenheit) at
which the petroleum will ignite and
all such boxes, casks, or barrels shall be
