Temperance Story.

A groan was heard like O funeral
note, from a topper in mud half bur-
led, as our Sergeant Drunk and in
capable" wrote, when his form to the
station we hurried. We hurried him
swiftly at dead of night, and oft
with our truncheons squirting, under
many a gas lamps Pickering light,
through alley and crooked turning.
In rags and tatters the topper was
dressed, for in poverty drink had
bound him, and he lay like o pig in
o gutter of rest, with the little pigs
squealing around him. We lifted
him up but he fell as one dead, and
we tumbIed him into o barrow, and
the idle spectators sh6utedand said,
"He'il be fined with eantion to.
morrow Lightly they'll Tux ofths
spirit that's gone, and DER empty
bottles upbraid him; but he'll not
reck, if they let him sleep on, in the
cell where the constables laid him.
No curtain had he to his lonely bed,
and rough deal plank was his pill
low, he will wake with parched lips
and an aching head, and thirst that
would drink up a billow. Roughly
yet sadly we laid him down, that to-
per, worns haggard, and lhoary, and
wish that the dissolate youth of the
town, warning take rom this story.

Hew TO Cook Riee.

They do know how to cock rice here

GERS and consumers in the United
States, Investigated the matter.
Only just enough cold water is pour
ed in to prevent the rice from burn
ing to the bottom of the pot, which
has clese fitting cover, and, with o
moderate fire, the rice is steamed
rather than boiled, until it is nearly
done; then the cover Is taken Oft the
surplus steam and moisture allowed
to escape, and the rice turns out O
mass OF snow white kernels, each sep
arate from the other, and as much
superior to the soggy mass We usu-
ally get in the United States, as q
fine, mealy potato is to the water
soaked article. I have seen some
thing approaching this in our South
ern States, but ] do not think that
even there they do it as skillfully as
it is done here. and in the Northern
States but very few persons under
stand how to cook rice properly. I
am sure that cooked as it is hero, the
/ consumption of this wholesome and
delicious cereal would largely increase

WRETCHED WRITERS.

Napoleon l, had so little mastery over
his pen that his letters from Germany to
Josephine, were at first sight taken for
roug ii maps of the seat of war. Mr..
Brooks, q railroad manager, wrote to a
man living on the Central route, threat
ening to prosecute him forthwith unless
he removed barn he had run upon the
companys property. The recipient did
not read the letter, for reading it was i'm
possible, but he made out the signature
and arrived at the conclusion that the
manager had favored him with free pass
along the line. As such he used it for q
couple of years, no conductor on the
route being able to dispute his reading Of
the document. II. w. Bescher can hard,

THE CHISHOLMS.
Who They Were-The Frequent At
Temps to ASSasSiRate Them.

The Monticello (Ind) Herald prints
letter from Mrs. NJ. X. Gilmer, widow of
John p. Gilmer, who was murdered at De
Kalb, Kemper county, Miss. 1t is dated
at SCOOTER, Miss, May. 90, and says:
GAS you perhaps know Judge CHS
holm and Mr.. Gilmer were the leading
Republicans in this county, and for years
various attempts have been made to as
sassinate them. We moved to Scoober,
thirteen miles from DeKalb, last January,
and Mr.. Gilmer has only been in DeKalb
once since land that was to attend court
in march, until the goth Of April, the
day he was murdered. That morning he
heard there was a writ out for his arrest,
and he got on his horse and went to De
Kalb and gave himself up to the sheriff,
and as he was walking down the street
with the officer he was shot in the back
by one of the crowd of armed men with
which the streets were full. They then
broke into the Jail where Chisholm had
been put, and murdered him, his daugh-
ter, lovely girl of II years, his son,
boy of ID, and an old mana Seotchman,
that was friend of Judge Chisholm and
Mr.. Gilmer. The writs issued for them
have been proved to have been forged.
There was not a shadow of evidence
against Judge Chisholm or Mr.. Gilmer
out of the way, as they term it. After
Mr.. Gilmer was dead they shot his body
five or six times. Mr.. Gilmer and Judge
Chisholm were summoned to Washing
ing in January, before the Senate Inves-
tigating committee, and after giving their
evidence, were notified, after leaving
Washington, that it would not be safe for
them to return to Kemper. Thus you
see those innocent men were murdered
Just for being Republicans-nothing else
under the sun. Many thanks for your
words Of sympathy, they are very CRATE
full to me, coming from my murdered
darling's friend"
