Mr.. Harte's first extended work. The
scenes and characters, which the author
has chosen from his fayorite field, Califor-
mia, are painted with characteristic vivid

doubt the most Graphic record of carly
California life that has yet appeared.

the proposition to secure the attend
anco of large number of civil socie-
ties is discussed by men who generally
carry what they undertake to do into
successful effect. The Governor is now
busily engaged on his inaugural ad-
dress. The message will be the first
under the new constitution commenc.
ing gubernatorial term. With this
term the Governors are not eligible to
a second election. A term must in.
tervene before they become so, and
the term of service under the new
constitution is four years.

Says the Washington coweepon-
dent of the Pittsburgh Commercial,
since the recent stir in the whisky
trials, the President and Secretary
Bristow have been in private confer
eace, in which the whole subject was
reviewed. The President again di-
rected the Secretary to push the prose
cutions to the extreme limits, regard
less of whom it reached. The remov-
al of Henderson was through no dis
position to shield any one. The Pres
ident is relentless towards those who
have betrayed his confidence, as will
be seen hereafter, when the facts are
indisputably shown. efr-

Buying a Bride.

The Albert Lea (Minn. Standard saws
Two young men, one of them residing in
the northern part of this county, and
the other in the southern part of Steele
county, were each enamored with one and
the same young lady. The affections OF
the lady were about equally divided be-
tween the two. Hard words and blows
failed to settle the difficulty. As last
resort, the Freedom county man agreed
to relinquish all his right and title to the
fair damsel for the sum of one hundred
dollars. The other chap couldn't see it.
Freedom county showed willingness to
do the fair thing, by then Offering to give
one hundred dollars and take the dis
puted property himself. Steele county
scorned the offer. Our man raised the
bid to one hundred and twenty-five dol
lars, which was not excepted. One hun
dred and fifty dollars failed to reach
him, but when the bid was raised to one
hundred and sixty dollars it proved to be
too much for his cupidity, and with
eagerness he cried out, "Take her."
At this time the expectant bride stood
looking on, an Indifferent spectator, ap-
parently caring not whether Freeborn or
Steele county finally came out ahead.
The winning man gave his note for one
hundred and sixty dollars, with the
brides father as endorser, and the mar
riage took place without any unneces-
sary delay. And now we understand
the parties propose to resist the payment
of the note on the ground of "no value
received"

Usefsal Information.

To cure bridle-breaking, get a piece of
BEDFORD, four times the length of the
horse and double it i'm the middle, and at
the doubled end make loop, through
which pass the animals tail. Then cross
the cord over his back, and pass both
ends through the halter ring under his
chin and tie both ends of the cord to the
trough ring, through which the halter
strap plays, the end of the halter being
attached to billet of wood. Should the
horse attempt to pull back the strain will
all be on the root of his tail before the
halter strap will become frightened, and
he will at once step forward to avoid it.
After so fixing him few times in the
stable he will abandon any such pro-
pensity.
The best conducted experiments prove
cOnclusively that as destroyer of insects
and vermin, whether upon man or plants,
the most effective remedy that can be
used is carbolic acid. On small plants,
whose tender, early shoots are subject to
the depredations of the fly and worm, its
destructive effects are instantaneous. To
use it properly, dissolve an ounce of
cagbolic acid crystals in three quarts of

over the plants from common watering
pot. One such application will suffice
for the time, but should be administered
as occasion requires and a few such
showers will effectually rid the plants of
all such pests.
In order to ascertain the gain in
weight of growing cattle, an experiment
was tried as follows A short-horn bull
calf was weighed on the 18th of April,
1874, when he was just fourteen months
old, and his weight was found to be five
hundred and three pounds. May 18th
he weighed five hundred and ninety-three
pounds; June 18th, seven hundred and
three pounds; July 18th, eight hundred
and one pounds; August 18th, eight hun
dred and eighty-six pounds, and Septem-
Der 18th, nine hundred and sixty-six
pounds; a total gain in five months of
four hundred and sixty-three pounds, or
ninety-two and one-half pounds per
month.

Household IIelps.

HAM AND EGGs.-The association of
eggs with ham Is of such honored
antiquity that it would be unwise to dis
turb it. Break eggs, then, one by one,
into pan in which ham has been lightly
and quickly browned-not dried up
and fry them light brown on the under
side. BY this time they will have as
sumed consistency on the top and must
be taken up carefully with fish slice or
skinner, without turning, and placed
round the edge of the dish, the ham oc-
cupying the center.
GERMAN GRUTzE.--Boil two pints of
fruit in quart of water, and when ten
der pass it through a sieve. Then boil
and sweeten It with sugar. Add half
pound of sage, well soaked in cold water,
stirring the whole over the fire until the
sago is dissolved. Pour il into mould.
When cold turn it out, and serve with
cream or custard.
HAIR DREssING.-A nice dressing for
the bair is said, by correspondent Of the
Christian Monitor, to be cold tea. She
uses it twice day, and insures fine
growth of beautiful luxuriant and healthy
hair, with less trouble, no danger of in

1 lot. Louis hepuDican.J
On certain section of the New Yorl
wharf, where excursion boats land anc
depart and where children 60 to play, Their,
hasn't been boy drowned in a long time
Boys tumble into the river as often a
ever, but they have savior always OF
the brink ready to dive down from thu
pier and bring them out alive. He is thu
life preserver Of the place, and the people
of the neighborhood are very proud O
him. He has within a few month,
snatched seven boys from watery grave,
and given them another chance for life
and usefulness. He seems to be always
at hand when boy topples overheard
and he is sure to set him on his legs again
where he can get his breath. After one
of his daring rescues the other day, his
fame went outside of the district and his
name got for the first time into the papers
1t is Tim Heating. He had been in the
habit of plunging into the river and pull.
ing out his boy, and then hurrying away
through the crowd of spectators-nobody
seemed to know where. He shrank from
publicity, but his oft-repeated exploits
OF life-saving brought him out at last.
A newspaper man wandered into the
district to pick up items, and learn, if pos
sible, if Tim Heating was myth or real
parsonage. "Do youknOw Tim Keating?'
he asked random man he met.
Know him l should think I did.
He has just saved another boy"
81 have heard that he has saved six
boys"
Yes, that's so. You can now call it
seven. l saw the last boy myself, 20
sloshing home wet as drowned rat.
Asked him where he had been, and he
said, Fell in, and Tim Heating pulled
me OUT"
The facts were that an excursion boat
was coming in, and in the scramble to get
ashore, the boy was pushed overheard.
Everybody screamed for help. In sec
ond there was another splash in the
water, and presently strong swimmer
came up padding with one arm and hold
ing the boys head out of the water with
the other. They were helped out amid
loud cheers, and while every one got
around the boy with congratulating pats,
Tim Keating-fOr it was he--slid away.
The man with notebook and pencil
asked aWoman her opinion of Tim Keat-
ing.
She fairly gushed with admiration of
the man and said
" The wonder is where Tim comes from
when boy tumbles into the river. He's
just as sure to be there as there's God
in heaven, and so we don't trouble our
selves much when our children go down
towards the docks to play. Tins real
good fellow, but he's out of work Just
now, which is a pity"
A record of Tim Keating's bows is
kept in a saloon. Their names are Bob
by Carroll, Tommy Hayes, Johnny Fitz-
gibbons, Patrick McCarty, George Rich
ards, Michael Clarence and Leddy Dono-
hue.
Timothy Heating was out of Job, and
became hero. He found work to do in
his wanderings on the wharf, and saved
seven lives great life work in few
weeks. Some philanthropic society ought
to patent him as q life-preaerver, and
keep him at his present work of idleness.
Those working women with children to
save ought not TO regret that Tim Keat-
ing is out of employment, and should he
want a bite to eat some day they will
hardly turn him from their doors.

Your God is thief; he surprised Adam
in his sleep, and stole rib from him.
The Rabbits daughter overheard thi,
speech, and whispered word or two in
her fathers ear, asking permission to an.
swer this singular question herself He
gave her consent.
The girl stepped forward, and feigning
terror and dismay, threw her arms aloft
insupplication, and cried out, " My liege,
my liege, justice revenge!
"What has happenedw asked the
prince.
" A wicked theft has taken place." she
replied. ga robber has crept secretly
into our house, carried away a silver
goblet, and left golden one in its stead. !"
"What an upright thiefp exclaimed
the prince. "Would that such robberies
were of more frequent occurrence
Behold then, sire, the kind of thief
that our Creator was; he stole a rib from
Adam, and gave him a beautiful wife in
stead"

The remains of Columbus were first
deposited in the convent of st. Francis,
at Valladolid, where they remained for
six years, when they were removed to
the monastery of Las Cuevas, at Seville,
Spain, where costly monument was
raised over them by King Ferdinand.
From this spot his body was removed, in
the year 1856, to the island of st. Do
mingo, and on the cession of that island
to the French, in 1896, his remains we're
again removed to Cuba, where his ashes
still remain in the cathedral church of
Havana.

To MAKE CRICKETs.-No meat or
fowls should ever be baked in an oven,
without q cricket is used for when the
meat, etc., rests on the bottom of the pan,
the oily water soaksinto it and Injuries the
flavor. A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman says that when none comes
with your dripping pan, any tinman can
make one for you. Or if not, your own
men folks can manufacture one for you
out of hard wood strips half an inch
square-two, one foot long, and four,
eight inches long, for cross pieces. Nail
these together an inch from each end and
use them for baking all kinds of meat.
They must be carefully washed every
time and dried.

A Baked Rihle.

There is Bible in Lucas county, O.,
which, at one time, contained some very
warm scriptural texts. 1t belongs to q
Mr.. Scheboldt, native Of Bohemia. II
was formerly the property of his grand.
mother, who was a very devout Protest
ant. During one of those unfortunate
periods when religious prosecutions were
common in Austria, a law was passed at
the instance Of the Catholics, that every
Bible in the hands of the people should
be surrendered to the priests to be burned.
Mrs. Scheboldt determined to save hers,
and when the party came to search her
house, she had just prepared huge batch
of dough for the oven, and, taking her
precious Bible, she wrapped the yielding
dough around it and quickly deposited
it in the oven. Here it was most thor
oughly baked, but was saved uninjured
from the fiery furnace of the priests. IL
may be said to have been saved from the
fire by fire, and has passed down through
several generations as a memorial of the
days when men were not allowed to wor-
ship God in accordance with the dictates
OF their own consciences. 1t ought to 20
to the Centennial as a mute witness of
the light of other days-a light raised by
bonfire OF burning Bibles.
