How to Cook a Husband.


Many good husbands are spoiled
in cooking. Some women keep
them constantly in hot water, while
others freeze them by conjugal cold
ness some smother them in hatred
and contention. and still others
keep them in pickel all their lives.
These women always serve them mp
with tongue sauce. Now, 1t cannot
be supposed that husbands will be
teuder and good, if treated in this
way. but they arc, on the contrary.

The boy who sells fruit and con-

vigorous sort of boy. with an eye
strictly to business, and with no ro-

active brain. One of them came
very near running the happiness Of
two young souls for life the other

A young man sat in the seal with
pretty girl, and though the passen-

RUuORS IRON CENTR4L ASA.

The dispatches from India and Austria TO
London relative to the advance of the Rus
slams in Central Asia should be received with
great caution. The rumors that Lomakine
has reached the valley. of the Upper Atrek
after constant fighting. and that 5000 men
are now threatening Balkh and opening
highway to Herat, have hollow sound. The
troops in Turkistan, with which any opera
tons against Balkh Or Merry could have been
undertaken, did not exceed $4,000 men, with
sixty-four guns. Marching orders were issued
last May, and early in June the main column
set out from Samarcand under the direction Of
General Kaufman. II consisted, according to
the most trustworthy reports, of ffty-two
companies of infantry, twenty sotnias of Cos
sacks, forty-eight guns and rocket battery !;
aud it proceeded to Diam. on the frontier of
Bokhara. 1t was march Of nineteen days
across arid steppes and the suflerings of the
troops were terrible; but they are said to have

which they displayed in the famous movement

MP INKS Is AU1hE.

Mr.. Andrew Banks, of Baltimore, after re-
fccting a little while upon the letter OF ex-
Controller Cowgirl, respecting which an inef-
fcctual ATTEMPT was made the other day to
extract from him statement has thought
nroper TO address a communication to THE
TRIBUNE. beginning with the usual formula.
"Mv attention has been called" ETC., etc. In
his conversation with a reporter OF The Bali
more American, on Sunday, Mr.. Banks said
that he saw the letter of Mr. Cowgirl at his
club but at the time he "did not think OF
"reading it thoroughly and acquainting him
"sclf fully with its purport"; he was going to
read il again, and meanwhile he would neither
admit nor deny anything contained in 1t.
PERHAPS Mr.. Banks was right Ii Is well
not TO be rash. But when one man is
publicly accused Of offering corrupt induce
ments to another, the temptation to read
"the accusation thoroughly" we should think
must be rather strong, and we are not quite
able to account for the phenomenal forgetful-
ness of a gentleman who, finding his name
printed in the newsI aDeTs In connection with
a disgraceful transaction, does not think ut
the time of acouainting himself with the purport
of the charge. Some men, however, are pc
culiar. and there are great differences of tenn
permanent and habit. Let US congratulate Mr..
Banks that somebody has called his attention
to the matter, and that after repeated peru
sails of the singularly plain and circumstantial
statement of DR.. Cowgirl, he at last under
stands what that gentleman means.
SO far as there is a question of veracjty be-
tween DR.. Cowgirl and Mr.. Banks, we have
no ambition to interfere. Mr.. Banks processes
readiness to testify before any proper tri-
bunal, and this is becoming disposition. in
which we trust he will not falter. There is
no doubt that ex-COntroller Cowgirl will he
prompt and positive with his testimony too
and thus. perhaps, we shall gain some valu-
able information. The field of historic re-
search opened by the publication of the cipher
dispatches yields every day fresh discovery.
We can imagine no reason why DIR. Cowgirl
should deliberately invent false story about
person like Mr.. Banks, and whatever it was
that Mr. Banks said to him i'll Tallahassee, we
can hardly doubt that he took it for corrupt
proposal, and resented it accordingly. May be
we shall learn through the processes of pub
lie trial exactly what the conversation was.
Mr. Banks says it was something of "a bust
"ness character" We understood DR.. Cow
gill to say so too.
