Democracy with the fact that Bishop, the Dem

A night or two since citizen Of

pile in the alley, concluded to sit
up for few hours and see if he
could detect the person or persons
who had stolen a dozen sticks the
night previous. About eleven o.
clock o bow-backed colored man
came up the alley, looked around
iu a cautions way, and then took a
stick of wood on each shoulder and
started off.
"Ive got you, you thief" cried
the citizen, as he dashed out.
$50 you hez-so you hez," re-
piled the man, as he let the sticks
drop, "but jess wait a leetle afore
you fires off any pistols. Does you
know what l was gwine ter do wild

it,"
"Juss like l fought you'd say,

could cure the "bending over," but
he cant be positive whether he
made any improvement or not. as
the man broke away after the fourth

An editor of d weekly paper
published in q little village in Mis-
souri,, called at the White House,
and was admitted to Mr.. Lincoln's
presence. He told Mr.. Lincoln
that he was the man who first sug-
gested his name for the Presidency,
and pulling from his pocket an old,
defaced copy of his paper, exhibit
ed an item on the subject. "Do
you really think" said Mr.. Lin
coin, "that announcement was the
cause of my nomination. p Ger
tainly," said the editor, "the sug-
gestion was so opportune that it
was at once taken up by the other
papers, and the result was your
nomination.
"Ah, WELL" said Mr.. Lincoln with
sigh, and assuming rather
gloomy countenance, 81 am glad to
see you and know this, but you
will have to excuse me; | am just
going over to the War Department
to see Mr.. Stanton" "Well," said
said the editor, 81 will walk over
with you" The President with
the apt good nature so character
istic of him, took up his hat and
said "come along"
When they reached the door Of
the Secretary's office, Mr. Lincoln
turned to his companion and said /:
81 shall have to see Mr.. Stanton
alone, and you must excuse me-"
and taking him by the hand he
continued, "Good bye. ! hope you
will feel perfectly easy about hav-
ing nominated me; don't be troub-
led about it; ! forgive YOU

Cooking a Canvas. Back.

A good quick oven will cook a
full-sized duck in twenty-five
minutes. it should never remain
in over twenty-five. After duck
is picked aud drawn, it should be
simply wiped dry. Water should
never touch it, AMI it should be
fairly seasoned before going to the
fire. When done, the birds should
be placed in pairs in hot, dry
dishes. There is no need to pre-
pare a gravy; Immediately they
are cut, they will fill the dish with
the richest gravy that was ever
tasted. One canvas-back to each
"cover" is considered a fair allow
ance at Maryland table, but when
the bird is only an incident of the
dinner or supper, of course half a
bird is sufficient for each person.
Slicing the bird is unheard Of
The two-pronged fork is inserted
diagonally astride the breast-bone,
aud the knife lays half the bird on
each side, leaving the carcass on
the fork between. The triangle oI
meat an inch thick comprised be-
tween the leg and wing, with it
apex at the back and its base a,
the breast, is considered the most
delicious morsel of meat that ex'
