melted and colored as above. Very
hard. To fill up holes and cracks in

BAKERS YEAsT.-Boil two ounces of
hops one hour in nine quarts of water /;
take seven pounds of mashed potatoes,
when the liquor is warm, and add one
pound of sugar, two ounces of carbonate
of soda, half an ounce of spirits of wine,
one pound of flour, and half pint of
brewers yeast to work it.

of fine, light brown lay the steaks
into stewpan, and pour as much boil
ing water over them as will serve for
sauce stew them very gently half an
hour, and add spoonful of catchup OF
walnut liquor before serving. vFf
ADULTERATIoN OF SUGAR.-If brown
sugar be adulterated with sand, by nc
means an uncommon practice with un
principled dealers, the fraud may be de
tected by taking glassful of clear
water, and dissolving a quantity of the
suspected sugar therein. If sand, Oh
any similar substance be present, it vii
fall to the bottom when the solution hai
stood some time.

gently with the meat, but take care no
to let it boil, and add a bit of butte
rubbed in flour. Put sippets of THU
toasted bread, cut into three-corneret
shape, round the dish.
BOILING FIsH.-Fish is exceedingl,
insipid if sufficient salt is not mixed witt
the water in which it is boiled abou
four ounces to one gallon of water i
enough for small fish in general al
additional ounce, or even more, will no
be too much for Goldfish, Holsters, etc.
and salmon requires eight ounces. T
render the boiled fish firm, add littl
saltpeter to the salt; quarter of a
ounce is sufficient for one gallon.

lectOrs, cOmpOsitOrs, and pressmen-join
in wishing him safe and pleasant trip,
knowing how much he needs rest from
the arduOus duties he has so long and

In VIEW of the interest being aroused
as to the approaching municipal cleo
ton, we deem it notinappropriate to re-
fer to the very complimentary mention
which the Jackson Sun makes of COun-
Gilman Simon w. Green, former citi-
zen Of the above named city. After
speaking of his excellence al a gentle
man aud his business talent, the Sun
says: "ShOuld he be hOnored with the
office of mayor, the people Of Memphis
may rest secure in the certainty of Wig
orOus and economical city government"
The Jackson Dispatch says: ga letter
has been received from Judge Thomas J.
Freeman, Of the supreme court, signify
ing his acceptance Of the position Of pro-
fessor in the law department Of the
Southwestern Baptist university. Cen
ersl A. w. Campbell and Judge H. E.
Jackson, of this city, have also accepted,
and thus the law department Of the uni
versity has full corps OF teachers The
merits these gentlemen are well known
to the public, and their selection by the
board Of trustees is another evidence that
the talent of the country will be laid IN
der contribution to make the university

A New SwINDLE.- Pro Bono Pub
lico" contributes this to the San Francis
co Chronicle "There seems to be more
baretaced robbery committed on the peo-
the American continent. 1t looks as if
people loved to be swndled. II seems
scarcely worth while to notice the small
swind!es whilst SO many large ones exist
which should be exposed but sharpers
are just now swndling ignorant house
keepers in a small way by selling them a
powder that they state will prevent oil
from exploding in lamps. 1t is not gen
orally known that oil will not explode in
lamps if the shoppers be removed and fire
applied. The oil merely blazos up. So
certain sharpers are taking advantage Of
this knowledge and are swindling the ig-
norant by selling them boxes Of worthless
powder made of chalk, colored with indi-
go, ETC., which they put in the oil, and to
convince the ignorant, they apply a
match. The match might be as safely
applied without the powder. But the
public doesn't know that, and hence the
bogus powder sells like hot cakes in some
sections. 1t is not only a swindle, but
a dangerous one, inasmuch as certain
people might tamper too carelessly with
oil colored with the bogus anti explosive
powder. The loss Of the price Of it would
be small, compared with the loss perhaps
of their lives in consequence of their faith
in bogus powder"

LOEE AN HONEST POY."

There's German who keeps a corner
grocery in Keokuk, and he had call
from little boy the other night, who had
been sent to get two-dollar bill changed.
The boy received the change and returned
home with it, when it was discovered that
there was a quarter which was rather
ragged, and also that the quarter was just
twenty five cents more than the folks who
sent the bill were entitled to-. The boy
was sent back to return it, and of course
the ragged fractiona" " went with him.
Entering the store, and holding out the
ragged money he said: "Y on changed u
two-dollar bill for me here's quarter
that" Our German friend seeing the
ragged money and fancying he would
have to take it back, interrupted the boy
With shanged nodinks. l shanged
no bill nit you"
" Yes, you did, and here's a quarter"
"Mein Gott vas liars Meier in my
life did l see such u boys. dells you
you nefer shanged me nit any bills"
Why, l was in here not over half
an hour ago, and you gave me quarter
too
"GiP you zum quarters-gif you zum
quarters Underwater, young weller
Do you dink l pin gone crazy NIT my
prains / don't gif you zum quarters !!
Now make yourself seldom, ride away,
pefore l put shoulders NIT your head /"
and he commenced to move from behind
the counter.
"Oh, you didn't give me no quarter,
hey ? All right, then, squire I'm just
a quarter ahead" and he started to go
out.
"Now," said the German, putting
himself in an attitude of admiration, "dot
ish vat l likes to see better ash holdings
else. / lofe an honest poy, and | shoost
pin drying you, sonny. Yaw, it vas me
wha: makes shange NIT der bill, and l
vas drying you. Du peesh cheney boy
and / gifts you nice big apples for your
honesty" and pocketing the quarter, he
led the boy back to the rear end of the
store, and selecting an apple about the
size of a marble, he presented it to the
boy, and pattng him on the head, said {:
Nov run along home, sonny, and dell
your folks vat nice, p-e-a-ut-i-fu-l old

STAGE READIN Ess. The London EchO
gives the following anecdote from for
eign cotemporary Gobart, the French
actor, whose speciality was the impors on
alton of Napoleon |, was troubled with
an infrmty Of memory, in consequence
Of which, all letters handed TO him to be
read on tho STAGE had really to contain
the words he was to deliver. In some
military piece or other the Emperor had
to receive letter from his adjutant and
read it aloud to bis assembled officers. A
certain Gautier, the wag Of the theatcr,
acted the adjutant, and one evening in.
stead of giving Gobart the written letter,
he handed him blank sheet OF paper.
The actor took it, and perceiving the trick
that had been played upon him, returned
the mssivc with perfect gravity to Gau-
tier, saying, " Read it yourself, General"
Gautier, who did not know a word Of the
part aud was too much taken aback to
extemporize, could not extricate himself
from his position before the public had
discovered his discontinue. Gobart's
readiness was, indeed, almost as remark
able as that Of less celebrated actor,
whose forte was part OF Richard Ill.
At the approach Of one of his best points
a hostile clique induced the supers to nc
cost him with, my lord, we've taken
Buckingham and cut his head off.
"'Tis we'll" said he !" had it not been
so should have said, off with his head
so much for Buckingham l"-thus got
ting in his great effect after all.

SUSAN BLACK.-She was long, thin
colored woman. She had on a long pink
sun bonnet, carried long face, and she
chewed quid of gum as if her life de-
pended on her chewing forty chews to
the minute.
"Name's Black, is it? asked his
Honor.
"Yup," she answered, between her
chews.
"Throw that gum away" he com
manded
She removed the hunk" looked at it
from all sides, held it for moment, and
then it descended and struck the floor
with bang, keeled over and its beauty
was forever destroyed.
"Susan Black, how dare you in this,
the nineteenth century, get drunk and
try to climb shade tree ?" he asked.
"'Pears to me had a fl" she drawled,
yawning heavily.
"Do you want to be sawed in two %
he shouted, rapping on the desk.
"Scuse me from dat, jedge."
Well then, you straighten up and
answer my questions. You are both
drunk and disorderly, the warrant says"
"Sure's you lib, jedge, had fit"
" Do you have these fits often ?'
"Yes, sah."
Will you ever have another ?"
" Yes, sah."
"I'll bet you won't have another for
six months"
Is dat de decision ?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"Jedge," she remarked, after long
look at him, "jest low me to fasten desc
fingers in your ha'r for bout free minutes
an I'll go up dar peacefuller dan lambw
lie refused, and as she was taken away
she looked like shadow being swallowed
up in fog.
