Wanted a Little Excitement.

A man with more ears than brains
heard his neighbors in Atlanta, Ca, de-
scribe an Internal machine, and forth
with took the hint and constructed one.
One night last week he carried his toy
to the front steps of merchants resi-
dence, and, after setting it down, rang
the bell. When the portly form Of the
merchant appeared IN the doorway the
visitor pointed to the box and told him
that a plot had been formed to blow up
his house. The cigar-bo was dropped
into pail of water and then opened. 1t
had lining of white pine, and was di-
vided into three compartments, each Of
which was packed with gunpowder and
shot; and in the central one were three
matches, placed so as to come in contact
with sand-paper when the lid was raised.
The merchant suspected at once that the
inventor of the machine stood before
him, although his visitor pretended to
have overheard in an alley the details of
the plot. The police arrested the half
witted fellow, and forced him to admit
that he had made the box. Times were
rather dull, he said, and he had thought
that a little excitement might help bust
ness.
THE old and reliable piano manufac-
tuners, George Steck & Co., OF New
York, have taken sensible view of the
hare times by offering to the public, for
the present, their pianos at prices in
accordance with these times. Consider
ing that the Steck pianos have the eayi-
able reputation Of being the best and
most durable instruments made, o good
many being in need of such an addition
to q comfortable home will not be SLOW
in awaiting themselves of the rare chance
to procure an absolutely reliable piano
for near the same price they would have
to pay in getting a so-called cheap class
instrument with a fictitious and doubtful
name.

Are 7You Gaining!

II you are gaining q little every day,
be content. Are your expenses less than
your income, SO that, though it be a
little, you are yet constantly accumulat-
ing and growing richer every day Be
content, for as concerns money, you are
doing we'll. Are you gaining knowledge
every day? Though it be little by little,
the aggregate of the accumulation, where
no day is permitted to pass without add
ing something to the stock, will be sur
prising to yourself. Solomon did not
become the wisest man in the world in q
minute. Little by little-never emitting
to learn something, even for single day
always reading, always studying a
little between the time of rising up in
the morning and lying down at night
this is the way to accumulate full
storehouse of knowledge. Finally, are
you daily gaining in character Be not
discouraged because it be little by little.
The best men fall far short of what they
would wish to be. It is something; it is
much, if you keep good resolutions bet
ter to-day than you did yesterday, better
this year than you did last year. Strive
to be perfect, but do not become down
hearted SO long as you are approaching
nearer and nearer to the high standard
at which you aim. Little by little fort
unes are accumulated; little by little
knowledge is gained; little by little char
acter and raDutatiOn are achieved

BULLS AND BEARS.
A High Old Time in the New York Stock
exchange.
NEW York Cor. Chicago Tribune


NEW York Cor. Chicago Tribune.l
There was an indescribable scene on
Change on Monday, Dec. a. The Gov
erning Committee refused the applica-
ton Of g the boys" to include Monday
in the holiday season. This aroused the
latter, and they resolved to do business
in their own way, If they must do it per
force. So the brokers, as they arrived
down town in the morning, gathered at
the Office of Drake Brothers, in New
street, where each was fitted out with q
tin-horn. q hinge dinner-beD, a large
whistle, wooden racket, or some equal
ly discordant instrument. Half dozen
rubber footballs, and an extensive as
sortment OF false-faces, and small paper
bags of -four had also been provided.
Thus armed the brokers filed solemnly
into the Exchange, the gallery of which
had previously been filled with specta-
tors, both ladies and gentlemen, in an
ticipation of the Jun. A large number
of ladies had also been admitted to the
floor, for the first time in the history of
the Exchange. AS soon as the gong
sounded for the beginning of business,
the horns, and bells, and whistles, and
rackets were produced, and a combined
noise made that nearly lifted the roof.
The footballs then appeared, and the
crashing of the glass globes Of the chan
deliers WAS added to the din. The
Chairman raped in vain for order. The
sound OF his gavel was silenced III the
renewed efforts OF the horn-blowers and
bell-ringers, and ball propelled by a
vigorous kick struck him squarely in the
breast and knocked him back in his
chair. Finally, after fining about fifty
persons IS each, he gave up the contest
and ordered the remaining globes re-
moved for safety. The four-bags then
began to fly about. Many Of the brokers
were whitened from head to foot, while
the clothing OF others displayed great
patches Of white, like suns with rays
spreading in every direction. Some of
the boys found an old partition in a
lumber-room, and. catching it by the
ends, they swept around the floor like q
whirlwind, compelling the younger to
perform circus feats, and knocking the
legs out from under the aged and more
obese members. Meantime the game Of
football was kept up, the evident object
of the kickers being to carom on some
body else. Some of the ladies hats
were roughly visited. Each good strike
was greeted with yell of delight, a
fresh blast On the fsh-horns, and re-
newed clangor. Soon the number Of
footballs became too limited for the
eagerness OF the brokers, and they used
each others hats instead. AS the hours
advanced the fun became furious.
Lassos made their appearance, and
many unfortunates were roughly treated.
At l o'clock the Exchange adjourned,
and the members, all looking more or
less the worse for wear, went to the
neighboring saloons and barber-shops to
brush up and recuperate. The Gov
ernors had to own up beaten.

How TO Cook an Oyster.

You are quite right in the abstract
when you say the best way to cook an
oyster is to eat it raw" Now, any
where outside the limits Of dear old
Mobile, that is q truism that can't be
denied. Ii you choose to call vile muir
der and cowardly assassination cooking,
why then they can cook oysters else
where than in Mobile. How often has
my breast heaved with indignation and
my face flushed with very rage to see
my darling ostrea-is that your scien-,
titic name for ?-ruthlessly handled
and manipulated by vile cooks, who for
their Ignorance and their stupidity
should at least have been cooked them
selves New York, Philadelphia, Bal
timore, and the rest are all quite guilty
IN this respect. When last [ was North
1 hope they are now more civilized in
that particular-you couldn't get a
proper roast or broil Now, to broil an
oyster they rolled it in some sort of
corn-meal, as if they were to fry it,
while for roast you must either have
it served i'll o sort of tin pan, or, as they
said, on the half-shell. Now all this is
simply barbarous, brutal, and sacrile-
gious; and those who would so treat the
succulent and delicious oyster are fit for
treason, stratagems, and spoils.
IT'S no wonder that oysters object to
being cooked in that manner. Now,
with us, as the children cry for the
" Early Bird Vermifuge" and mourn be-
cause Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup
is denied them, SO do our divine crusta-
ceans grow unhappy and hang their
heads in sorrow when they find they are
to be eaten raw. Now let me tell you
how we broil oysters here. Given a
double gridiron that folds together, and
a sufficient number of the bivalve in
20aSrdS n0tur0lj6uS-to roll them in any
thing is to spoil them; grease the bars
OF the gridiron, which prevents their
sticking; then dip each individual as
Audubon always said in reference to
birds-into melted butter; place them
on the utensil. A brisk fire of charcoal
is, OF course, necessary, over which they
are to be broiled. Meantime they
should be constantly basted with butter.
When done, serve on very hot toast and
dishes, and you have a dish that Brillat-
Savarin, with all his gastronomic ideas,
never thought of, and which would have
driven him mad with envy. Now for
the roast; Scene, Smith & Dumas res
taurant. call for dozen roast En-
ter q diminutive African friend and
brother, bearing a small, deep dish, in
which is placed very hot shell. In
this is put large lump of butter, which
splutters and Kisses joyfully as a sort of
prologue to the feast that is to follow.
Afterward, any condiment can be added,
and by that time the servant comes in
with bucket Of mollusks, which he pro-
ceeds to open slowly into the heated
shell. In this way each oyster is pip
ing hot, and one has a feast that the
gods never dreamed Of. Gould Dorlon
or Delmonico partake of such banquet
they would be ashamed to know they
had lived SO long to have learned SO lit

An Anecdote of Daniel Webster.

Webster was out, one day, on the
marshes near Marshfeld, busily shoot
ing birds. It was hot afternoon in Au-
gust. The farmers were getting their
salt hay on the marshes.
He came, in the course Of his rambles,
to the Green Harbor river, which he
wished to cross. He beckoned to one of
the men on the opposite bank to take
him over in his boat, which lay moored
in sight The man at once left his work,
came over, and padded Mr.. Webster
across the stream. He declined the pay
ment offered him, but fingered mo-
ment, with Yankee curiosity, to question
the stranger. He surmised who Mr..
Webster was, and, with some hesitation,
remarked:
"This is Daniel Webster, L believe. y
THAT is my name,' replied the
sportsman.
"Well, now," said the farmer, ct am
told that you can make from SIS to SIS a
day pleadin' cases up in Boston"
Mr.. Webster replied that he was
sometimes SO fortunate as to receive that
amount for his services.
well, now" returned the rustic, cit
seems to me, I declare, il I could get as
much in the city pleadin' law cases, [
would not be wadin' over these
marshes in hot weather shootin' little
