Hospitality in Texas.

In no city in the United States is the
travel-stained, weary traveller taken as
good care of as he is in a San Antonio
hotel. The manners and customs of the
guests are carefully studied. A young
man from the frontier, stopping in one
of our hotels, told the clerk, the other
evening, that he was going to be out
late. "Just wait a minute" replied
the accommodating clerk, and he rush
ed off, but soon appeared with large
envelope, (which he placed in the guests
breast-pocket, with the remark: THAT
is a bond for your appearance before
the Recorder, properly signed. As soon
as you are arrested for being drunk and
disorderly, just give the bond to the
policeman, mention my name to him,
and he will bring you home in hack.
Good night! God bless you!"-San
A1tontO Herald.

let him sleep, stole away from the vii
lage, which was wrapped in drunken
slumber, and repaired to a favorite
lookout of his upon the hillside, over
looking the sea. His mind, which had
lain dormant during the four years of
his life in that spot, had been suddenly
awakened by the scenes of the day, and
for the first time in years he began to
think. The joys of a savage life had
suddenly grown distasteful to him, and,
as he reflected upon what the future
might bring, he made a sudden deter
mination to escapeto civilized LIE again.
Stealing down to the beach, he secured
light canoe, embarked in it without
food or water and padded away into
the sea and darkness. He had no idea
in what direction the town lay, but de-
termined on following the coast till he
reached it, and on the third day, having
subsisted by running ashore occasion
ally and procuring supplies of fruit, he
saw the town before him and an Amer
lean man-of-war in the harbor. He
was kindly received on board the vessel,
where he was decently clothed and re-
stored to all the outward semblance of
his former self, and in her he made the
voyage to New York. Since then he
has constantly followed the sea, and,
though sometimes pining little for his
former wild and free life, he always en-
tiers an emphatic protest against ever
renewing the experience.

Lady Politicians.

There is wealthy young lady in Jer
sey City, named Miss Anna Adams, who
has presented sets of colors to various
Democratic organizations. She is ap-
parently taking deep interest IN the
election, and has recently informed a
Democratic club that she will pay their
expenses to Washington City and re-
turn IN case of Tilden's election. She
is a counterpoise in the political scale
of a well known lady residing upon
Fifth Avenue, who sent her persona
check to the Republicans for $1,000 for
election expenses, and announced that
she would give as much more to save
the letter-carriers of the city from po-
litical assessment. Not satisfied with
this liberal contribution of money, she
has personally interested herself in the
conversion Of doubtful young men in
her own social circle to the Republican
side. Her zeal having come to the ear;
of popular Southern woman (Rebel tC
the core), she sought some of her South
ern friends, and one day plan was dis
cussed over the lunch table by which

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

A SMALL piece of paper or linen,
moistened with the spirits Of turpentine
and put into bureau or wardrobe for
a single day, two or three times, is said
to be sufficient preservative against
moths.
THE best way to admit of pure air in
the night (where windows are the only
mode of ventilation) is to open the
sleeping-room into hall where there
is an open window in order to avoid
the draught. A window with small
opening at top and bottom ventilates
more than one with one opening only.
POTATOES, like the fat of meat, are
the heat producers for the body, and
they are especially good to eat along
with lean meat, which supplies the flesh.
Meat and potatoes give about the same
nourishment as bread, but the potatoes
must be nicely cooked to render them
ct for food.
A SMALL, clean potato, with the end
cut off, is a very convenient method of
applying brick-dust to knives, keeping
it about the right moisture, while the
juice of the potato assists in removing
stains from the surface. We can get a
better polish by this method than by
any other tried, and with less labor.
A GOOD washing-blue is made as fol-
lows: Make a solution of prussiate of
potash, 2 ounces, and another of pro-
tosulphate of iron, l ounce; add the
second gradually to the first, until the
precipitate almost ceases to fall, then
strain through linen, add water, end
continue the washing until the blue
color begins to dissolve in it, when it
may be at once dissolved in distilled
water and dried.
A CHINESE doctor says that Ameri-
cans boil tea, and thereby lose the
flavor, while the Chinese make it by
infusion. They place small quantity
of tea leaves in bowl, pour boiling
water upon it, and then cover the bowl.
The strength of the tea depends on the
time the tea is allowed to draw,
"And," said the speaker, when max
ing an infusion, do not boil the water
hastily at first. Milk or sugar should
never be used with tea"
THE art of cooking Indian meal has
not received that attention which its
merits deserve. A baked Indian pud-
ding, with q little suet to soften and
lubricate the meal, makes a dessert fit
for a Governor, and almost too good
for common folks. With milk, butter,
eggs, and sugar, and lots of fruit, In
dian meal can be made to keep family
in the most thrifty condition. These
are all produced, sugar excepted, on
the farm, and on many farms we need
not make an exception. When sugar
is made from beets in this country as
it ought to be, and soon will be-the
farmer will be almost independent of
the grocer.

An Unfinished Letter.

"NEAR DEADwooD, Sept. 20, 1876.
DEAR JENST:
owe reached here this morning
Tom Baker, Ned Leonard andI;
soyou see that. in spite Of your warning,
The end Of our journey is nigh.
"The rcd skins-'tis scarce worth amention
Don't worry abaut me, pray
Have shown ne no little attention
Confound thcm-along on our way.
Poor Ned's got ball in the shoulder,
Another one just grazed nay side;
But pshawi-ere we're half day older,
Wen be at the end OF our ride.
"We've camped here for breakfast; Ton

Some kindling wood on in the pines,g
Aud astride dead cedar Pm sitting,
To hastily pen you these lines.

just now, with a mail for the States
Ali Jenny, III never forget HIM

"He says, too, the miners are earningl :
Ten dollars a day, every man.
Hullol here comes Tom-he's returning,
And running as fast as he can.
"It's nothing, I guess He is only.
At one OF his practical bang
And sharp through that solitude lonely
The crack of Sioux rife shots rang.
And az the dire volley came, blended
With echo from canyon and pass,
The letter to Jenny was ended
Its writer lay dead on the grass.

What Will be Done With the EX'
hibitiOn Buildings.

There will be general sale of all the
buildings belonging to the Centennial
Board of Finance on Thursday, No
vember 80, at II o'clock a. m. The
list comprises the Main Building and
Carriage Annex, Agricultural Hall,
with Wagon and Pathological Annexes,
the Art Annex, Photographers Exhibit
ton Buildings, Shoe and Leather Build
ings, Judges Hall, Butter and Cheese
Building, Guard, Station-house, and
various other small buildings. Particu-
lars of the sale will be furnished in
pamphlet form, on application, ten days
before the appointed time. The sale
was authorized by the Board of Finance
at its session on Monday.
The expectation that most of the
State buildings on the grounds would
be presented to the city at the close of
the exhibition will probably prove not
well founded, as with only one excep-
ton they are of frame, and, aside from
the danger of fire, the continuous ex-
pense in painting and repairing would
soon equal the original cost of the struc-
lures, thus detracting from their actual
value for park purposes. The Ohio
State Building, however, unlike the
rest, was erected almost entirely of
stone, and has been so substantial
| y built that it will for
years preserve its present
appearance as an ornament. The
original intention was to present this
structure to the city, and, at recent
meetings of the Ohio State Board, the
subject of its transfer to the Park Com
missioners has been considered. ThoHgh
no definite action has been taken in the
matter, it is probable that some ar
raugement satisfactory to both the
donors ant recipients will be made at
an early day. The German Pavilion, a
substantially built structure, may also,
in due time, become the property of the
city, as the German Commissio toner's
generally favor the project of present
ing it to the Park Commissioners. A
member of the Commission some time
since wrote to the Minister of Foreign
Affairs at Berlin for instructions in re-
gard to the proposed transfer, and an
nswer favorable to the plan of permit
Nlng it to remain permanently is conf
IDENTIFY expected. So far as at present
known, it seems likely that the Other
minor buildings will be sold to the
highest bidder, or disposed of at private
sale at the close of the Exhibition. Pur
chasers for many of them are numerous
and full prices will doubtless be obtain

A Queer Sort of a Pin-Cushion

A very strange malady is that from
which Lydia Stokes, a young woman
of Lawrence County, Ala, suffers, if we
may credit the correspondent of local
paper, and he claims to have his infor-
nation from a physician familiar with
the case, and vows it is "no sell or SEN
sation nor overdrawn." At various
times during the past two years there
have been taken from her body over
100 pins and needles, besides wood
splintess, no great number being ex-
tracted at one time. They have APP
peared and been taken from all parts
of the body-face, head, neck, back,
breast, arms and legs. The peculiari-
ties of the case are that the pins are
headless, the needles are sometimes TAX
en- out in bundles, or rather as many as
five twisted together as though made
of soft iron wire, and, while they are
mostly corroded and more or less de-
composed, as though they had passed
through the stomach, yet some are
bright as though recently inserted from
the surface. Every effort so far ha:
failed to detect how she becomes pos
sessed of them. She has been deprived
of both pins and needles, all such fem
mime conveniences being carefully con
cealed from her for long periods {
time without materially checking thu
trouble. The location from which the
are taken is first indicated by small
postule or pimple. She is delicate, ap
parently consumptive, and believe
that she is beWitched.

We Shall Know.

When the mists have rolled in splendor,
From the beauty Of the hills,
And the sunshine, warm and tender,
Pals in splendor on the rills,
We may read loves shining letter
In the rainbow of the spray; ...
We shall know each other better,
When the mists have cleared away.
We shall know as we are known,
Never more to walk alone,
In the dawning Of the morning,
Which the mists have cleared away.
II we err in human blindness,
And forget that We are dust,
If we miss the law of kindness,
When we struggle to be just,
Snowy wings Of peace shall cover
All the pain that clouds our day,
When the weary watch is over,
And the mists have cleared away.
We shall know as we are known,
Never more to walk alone,
In the d iwning Of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away.
When the silvery mists have yelled us
From the faces Of our own,
OFT we deem their love has failed us,
And we tread our path alone;
We should see them near and truly.
We should trust them day by day,
Neither love nor blame unduly,

We shall know as we are known,
Never more 10 walk alone,
In the dawning Of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away.
When the mists have risen above us,
As our father knows his own,
Face TO face with those that love us,
We shall know as We are known.
Love beyond the orient meadows
Floats the golden fringe of day;
Heart TO heart we hide the shadows,
Till the mists have cleared away.
We shall know as we are known,
Never more to walk alone,
When the day of light is dawning,
And the mists have cleared away.

The great battle between the French

The full houses Mr.. Sothern has drawn
at the Varieties Theatre every night during
the week, and the crowded matinee yester
day, speak best for his popularity in this
city. In his line he certainly stands at the
head of his profession. People laugh at the
nothings of Dundreary without knowing ex'
actly why; they need not know why 80 long
as they laugh. Mr.. Sothern has probably
played the part over 5000 times; he played
it two years at his London theatre, and tho
people did not grow weary of it; the best
of it is the fact that the actor himself en-
Joys the performance Each new audience
brings him new desires to please, and he

for him to be known in other haracters,

fitted Mr.. Sothern with still another part in
rollicking comedy called "A Hornets
Nest, in Three Buzzes and Singer" That
comedy will be played for the first time in

called Spoonbiu. He is q wealthy young
man who is not such fool as he looks.
He is surrounded. by all eorts of Peo.
pie who would live upon his generosi+
ty, counting ON his having weak
mind. SpoonbiH plays the fool until he
proves the intentions of those about hin,
and then he makes q hornets nest for
them The comedy is full of wit and fun,
and will be welcome. This Sunday night
"Our American Cousin" will be repeated.
Professor Miguel Hartz, the renowned
illusionist, will commence q series of per.
formances at Grunewald Hall on Monday
evening, in which he will be assisted
by Madam Hartz, q pianist Of more
than usual ability. Professor Hartz
will perform entirely new tricks of
his own invention, and is likely to
create q sensation. To the uninitiated
some of his performances can not be ex-
planned or described. Out of silk hand

curtain, he produces Q large cage full of
birds. ysrd-long plumes and several bowls
filed with water and gold fishes, and as
mysteriously makes them disappear. He
is man who will bear watching.
