Sam Houston and the Ham,

On recent business trip to Houston l
had for travelling companion q we'll
known merchant of this city, who told
story after story Of early days in Texas
One struck me as worth preserving.
"When my father first came here"
said the merchant, "he settled in Hous-
ton-then the capital of Texas. was
put in grocery and provision store un-
der very strict and parsimonious boss.
One morning, just as had swept out,
Tom, Gen. Houston's body servant, came
into the store. Looking round he spied
fine hama rara apis in those days.
Having asked the price, he said he
would take it and the president would
call around and pay for it. 1 felt proud
of my sale, and called the attention of
the boss to it as soon as he came in.
"'Did you get the money! he asked,
quickly.
"'No; but President Houston is COM
ing round to pay for it,
"President Houston-the devil! Did
Tom say he would see it paid9'
"No, SIR
"'Then you are fool. Now, sir, you
90 straight to the presidents kitchen and
bring me that ham, unless Tom will say
it shall be paid for
81 started off. very much crestfallen.
and not liking the job before me. But l
resolutely walked into the presidents
kitchen. Tom was there. l saw my
ham lying there, with few slices out Of
it, and, Selling it, told Tom unless he
would undertake to see that the money
was paid must take it back.
"Tom cogitated awhile, and then said:
Young man, take back your meat. The
gineral is mighty good master, but a
mighty poor paymaster, and l don't keer
to involvilate myself with his debts
"This was enough for me. left with
the ham in my hand. Going around to
the gate, had to pass the front door.
There stood Gen. Houston, the president
of Texas, with pocket handkerchief in
one hand and toothpick in the other.
MY little man. says he, in his superb
manner, tell your master / am under
great obligations for most delicious
breakfast, and would pay him, but l
really haven't got the money. The
fact is. young man, Texas is very poor,
and. as her president, must share her
poverty. '"-Correspond<see N. J. Sua-

NOVEL MODE OF SLAUGHTER,
ING ANIMALS.

The slaughtering OF animals, with
the view of rendering the operation
instantaneous and as free from pain
as possible, has repeatedly engaged
attention, and various plans have been
brought forward for this purpose. The
latest experiment of the kind, and
certainly one of a novel nature, has
been described in the FIELD as having
been made at Nh. Bruton's Horse
Strengthening Establishment, Redhill,
Dudley, by Thomas johnson, agen,
for Mobiles Explosives Company
Glasgow. A short time ago johnson
made several experiments with dyna-
mite, placing q quantity about the
size OF a thimble ON the forehead oil
the bulls and horses to be slaughtered,
and exploding il in the ordinary way
with a safety-fuse and detonator. The
cattle we're instantly killed on the ex.
plosion taking place, and only requir-
ed bleeding. Last week the expert
ments we're repeated, charges being
exploded by electricity. On this oc.
~casion two large horses and one dom
key disabled for work) we're drawn
up in line about half a yard apart. A
small primer Of dynamite, with an
electric fuse attached, was then pIac-
ed on ecah OF their fereheads and
fastened in position by a piece OF
string under the jaw the wires were
then coupled and attached to the
electric coil. When the circuit was
completed, the three charges were ex-
ploled simultaneously, the whole OF
the animals falling dead without q
struggle. The rapidity of the ex-
pertinent seemed for a moment to. as
tonish the ~bystanders, who were TAX
en- by surprise at the suddenness of
the effect and the efficient in
which it. destroyed the animals.'

A Virginia sheriff asked a murderer
if he wanted to make a speech on the
gallows, and he replied: "Guess
not it looks like rain, and i don't
want to get wet. Go on with the
hanging"
A woman pushing a baby cab with
one hand, holding up her skirts with
the other and carrying her parasol in
her teeth, is a sight which can only
be seen since the new fashion broke

A young lady, in ~conversing with
a gentleman. spoke of having resided
in st. Louis. "Was st. Louis your
native placer" asked the gentleman.
"Well, yes, part of the time" re-
sponded the lady. g
A Dutchman, in describing a pair
of horses he had lost, said: "Dey
was fiery much alike, specially de off
one. Won lookt so much like poth /
could not tell tother from which
when / went after one l always catch
the oder, and | whipped the II most
dead because the other kicked me-"
The intention of the old deacon
was good, but the way in which he
worded his notice was ipfelicitous.
He said: "Any members of this
congregation who have left off wear
ing apparel are requested to contri-
butte the same for the benefit of the
poor" A quiet smile peryaded the
house, and the people concluded thai
it would be hardly the proper thing
to leave off wearing apparel in the
chilly November.
