We give place in another column to
q communication from an old pioneer
OF California and Nevada-whose in
itials will recall him to the recollection
of many old timers called forth by
some remarks made by Us a few days
since on the services Of the lamented
Genera! Worth. 1t will prove an inter-
esting chapter to many old Califor-
mans in our midst, whose friends suf-
fersd the untold privations and dan
gers of tho southern route. To some
Of sui readers it will prove a reminis-
ccnce.
Our friend OF the Enterprise has
most handsomely expiated his sin OF
omission against the memory Of Worth.
He generally does the handsome
thing when his vision Is not obscured
and his pen cloggsd by the mire of the
political pool; but in this case he has
exceeded himself. He is like one OF
those wondrous Javanese birds Of
which travellers tell us, that perch al
most unnoticed amid the luxurisnce
OF the tropical forests, until aroused
by a gentle prod from the sharp lance
of . stray hunter, they ruffie their
feathers and display to his wondering
eye q gorgeousness and splendor oil
plumage of which he had not before
drealned.

FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1876-01-12

Most persons recognize the value
of good reputation in the ordinary
sense of the word. We all admit
that the man in whom everybody
has confidence has a much better
prospect of succeeding in his bus
iness than the man who has the re-
putation of being dishonest. We
are not so apt to admit the value
of reputation in regard to the
character of the work done by the
man of business. The story has
often been told of the dairyman
who broke the stamp with which
he had stamped his butter for years,
and, in consequence, found it i'm
possible to sell his butter at nearly
the usual price. The lesson gen.
orally sought to be drawn from the
story is, that an extra price for
butter depends largely upon fancy.
A better lesson, we think, is that a
reputation for producing q uniform
ly good article is great help in
selling it.
In certain branches of farming
this matter of producing a good
article is not so important as in
others. Thus grains do not sell
for q much higher or lower price
because the farmer producing them
is known as q good or a poor far
mer. In most classes Of live stock,
dairy products, fruits, hops, tobGc-
CO, ETC., the diHerancc in price con-
segment on the reputation of the
producer is worth working for
The farmer who aims to produce 0
uniformly goci article, and sells il
FOR just v nat il is, and as coming
from, him, will ultimately find his
care and watchfulness well repaid

Household Hints

The following is suggested by
Bottger for dyeing cotton a pure
blue. Heat a mixture Of 147 grains
of Paris blue, 137 grains of tartar.
ic acid, 10 a fluid once of ammonia
water, and 2 l-2 fluid ounces water
and filter, after cooling. Add tC
the deep blue flltrate a solution OF
caustic soda, until it is decolorized,
and after some time assumes a
light yellow tint. Impregnate the
cotton with this solution, and pass
it (best after allowing it to dryl,
through a warm, very dilute solu-
tion of sulphuric acid, and it will
Immediately assume a beautiful
blue color, and needs only to be
washed in water. The sulphuric
acid may be so diluted that it has
scarcely perceptible sour taste.
Of course those who raise their
own pork will make their own
sausages; and those who are fond
of sausage meat, but have to buy
it, will find it greatly to their adj
vantage to purchase meat before it
is cut up, and season it for them
selves. Sausages made of beef or
pork are more wholesome and more
hearty than those made of pork
alone. About one-fourth of the
meat should be fat and the three
fourths be equally divided between
lean beef and pork. With q ma
chine, which costs only a few dol
lars, the labor of chopping the
meat will be triflling, and the ma
chine will be found useful in max
ing mince pies, hash, and salads.
For the sausages, take twelve
pounds Of chopped meat, six ounces
of salt, four ounces Of sage, one
ounce of black pepper, half a tea
spoonful of red pepper, and tea
spoonful of powdered saltpetre;
mix thoroughly, and put in skins
or in cases of muslin, and smoke
moderately. 1t is well to put in
only part of the seasoning and
try the meat to see what additions
it needs TO make it right. If, in
stead nf smoking the sausage thev
be fried in hot lard, after the man
ner of cooking doughnuts, then
pack away in jars and the lard
poured over them, they will keep
spelling and until warm
weather. Very good sausages are
made of hogs hearts after the fol-
lowing recipe: Twenty pounds of
hogs hearts, ten pounds fat pork,
twelve ounces salt, six ounces pep
per, sage to taste, other spices II
you like, chop fine and put in
skins.

Those who are in the habit of
telling prodigious stories ought TO
have good memories but fortunate
ly, their are generally short. Rich
ard Brinsley Sheridan dealt with
these mendacious pests in a man
ner peculiar to himself. He would
never allow himself to be outdone
by verbal prodigy. Whenever
monstrous story was told in his
presence he would endeavor to
outdo it by one Of his own coinage,
and consign the narrator to confu-
sion by falsehood more glaring
than his own. Once in his hearing
sporting adventure ran thus: "I
was fishing one day, say in a GER
tain cold spring full of delicious
trout, and soon caught large mess.
But what was really surprising not
foot from the cold spring there
was one OF boiling water; so that,
when you wanted to cook your
fish, all you had to do, after hooking
them from the cold spring, was to
pop them directly into the boiling"
The company all expressed aston
ishment and incredulity at this
monstrous assertion, with the ex-
ception of Sheridan. 81 know"
said he, of phenomenon yet more
surprising. 81 was fishing one day
when | came to a place where there
was three springs. The first was
a cold one stocked with fish, the
second boiling spring, and the
third a natural fountain Of melted
butter and parsley! !" "Melted
butter and parsley ~ exclaimed

All carpenters know how soon
the butt ends of chisels split, when
daily exposed TO the blows of the
mallet or hammer. A remedy sug.
gested by a Brooklyn man con-
sists simply In saving or cutting
off the round end of the handle SO
as to make it fiat, and attaching by
a few nails on the top of 1t two
round disks of sole leather, SO that
the end becomes similar to the heel
of boot. The two thicknesses of
leather will prevent all further
splitting, and if in the course Of
time they expand and overlap the
wood of the handle, they are SIM
ply trimmed off all around.
