Cooking Chickens on the Frontier.


SISTERS OF THE @HoME:" Will you permit
me to drop into your charmed circle" for a
short chat, and tell you how I cook? In the
first place will tell you how cook chickens,
nothing daunted by the hotreception accorded
to my brother Bachelor" when he undertook
to instruct you in the same line. know from
his experience that you do not propose to be
instructed in the art Of cookery from such as
US. I feel very sorry for you, as feel certain
that could give you much valuable informa-
ton n on that head, if you would but receive it
immediately exting1u1ished, I will tell how
to cook chickens, or q how we frontiers
men do it. I first shoot the head off
my chicken, and, after removing the insides, roll
it up in soft clay without removing the feathers
until it locks like ball of mud. I then rake
hole in the center of my camp fire and deposit
said lump therein, cover it with GOALS,
and allow it to remain there twenty
minutes I then rake it out, and with sharp

the amount of public land entered for home

the whole amount of land thus occupied

Mr.. Stoughton, Minister to Russia,
has rendered his resignation to the Secretary of
State.
Secretary Scburz has disposed of the
long-pending quarrel between McGarrahan and
the New Idria Company for the possession of
the great California quicksilver mine. Mr..
Schurz holds that the company's claim to a
patent for the lands known as the Panoche
Grande grant, $50 acres, containing the mine,
can not issue, because no one person or COM
pany can enter more than 100 acres. The
McGarrahan claim is cast aside with the re-
mark that the Supreme Court has pronounced
it fraudulent. According to Mr. Schurz,
therefore, the magnificent property belongs to
the United States.
Mr.. Stoughton assigns ill-health as
the reason for resigning the mission to Russia.
1t is stated in administration circles that the
mission has not been rendered to any one. The
friends of Mr.. Welsh, Minister to England, say
his resignation is due to the effect of domestic
bereavement, he having lost two sisters and a
brother within a short time, and to the further
fact that his business has been greatly neg
lected by his absence in London.
In spite of the reduction in the

lections for the preceding fiscal year.
