THE people of Benton are in earnest about
securing the trade of Meagher county, as
will be sseen by the extracts we make from
the Record in this issue. Good wagon roads
connecting our several valleys is all that is
necessary to secure it and the people of
Meagher feel that there is a mutual interest
existing, and are willing to lend n helping
hand. Let the country be thoroughly open
ed up with wagon roads and 1t will settle
up rapidly.

place the other day, and said he wanted
to get married. The proprietress of
the boarding-house at which he stopped
undertook the management of the af-
fair. She called in the girls of the
neighborhnod one after another until
ten had passed in review before the fel-
low, but none of them seemed to an
swer. The eleventh girl was more
lucky or unlucky, for she met his re-
quirements, and she, doubtless relying
upon the representations of the landla-
dy, accepted him. Her name, was Ida
Breneman, and he gave his name as
Eugene Delyon. They were married,
and, as a matter of course; he has since
disappeared. 1t is ascertained that he
has wife at Harrisburg. The mar
riage of young women to men who have
wives in other parts of the country is
not an uncommon thing, but it is new
feature of the business to set up the
girls of the neighborhood for stranger
to take his pick from. The young
woman who ventured thus blindly upon
the matrimonial sea is highly respecta-
BILE, as were all of the other girls who
passed in review before the scamp. The
foolish woman bitterly repents her in
discretion, and says she viii make ev-
cry effort to bring the villain TO justice.

Entertaining Company.

Abig feed that is a. d" good time''
in the estimation of many "What did
you have for supper?" one asks of an
other who has been ''out to tea" In the
old-iashioned settlements, where the
| neighbors 90 ga visiting" spending the
afternoon, and busy with knitting -or
light sewing, it is often suspected by the
hostess that her company has come
more for the sake of the supper than
for the visit. Sometimes this suspicion
is very unjustly entertained. | have
myself been more than once very much
annoyed by the way in which friends |
went to visit allowed themselves to be
numbered with muchserving," SO that
it was almost impossible to have any
reasonable conversation with them. |

could got something to eat at home, but
not my friend company. The best Wis
its among neighbOrs, in my opinion, are
often those which are unannOWced, and
where the visitors do not stay to tea, I'm
less very sure that they are desired to do
so, and that their staying will not make
trouble for the hostess. There is some
thing decidedly vulgar in the great
"spread sometimes made by those
who entertain company. So many kinds
of cake and sauce-so much indigesti-
BILE stuff to please the sense of taste and
make the visitors i'll next day! And yet
it is both natural and praiseworthy to
wish to treat our friends to something
nice in the way of food. Good eating
is privilege as well as a duty. We
must eat to live, and so the first question
in regard to our food is. whether it will
nourish these frail bodies of ours,
as many man has prayed at the open
ING of meal which could "nourish'
only by the working of miracle. Too
great a variety is, burdensome to both
guests and hostess, and it never really
proved the iterality of the one who en-
tertains, but often shows only love of
display and spirit of emulation. There
should be enough. of every thing, and
each dish should be good of its kind, es-
pecially the bread and other solid arti-
cles. If we can possibly get a good
meal for our visitors-the guests of an
afternoon or a single day-without
cooking any thing while they are with
us which necessitates our absence from
the room for much time, it is best to do
so. When we know beforehand the
company is coming, we can have every
thing ready to set upon the table, and
so spend not over half an hour getting
supper. The supper ready, it is our
part to make our guests feel perfectly
free to eat or not of the dishes set before
them-to make them feel by your cor
dial manners, rather than by words,
that we like to share our best things
with them, and are pleased TO have them
enjoy them, while we will not make
them eat merely to please us, but let us
talk about something besides the food.

The Philosophy OF Blowing Out a
Candle.

If we blow fire It burns more fieTcely,
but if we blow a-candle it goes. out.
These two facts taken together are a
familiar Illustration of the influence of
temperature upon chemical affinity. In
both cases, that of the fire and that of
the candle, the burning is the combining
of carbon and hydrogen with oxygen.
Now cold carbon or hydrogen may lie
in contact with oxygen for any length of
time without combining with either, but
if the substances are made red-hot they
Instantly enter into chemical combina-
ton. When a candle is burning, the
heat generated by the combustion con-
Stantly raises new.quantities of the ma
terial to the temperature at which COM
hination with oxygen will take place,
and thus the combustion is kept DIP.
But if current of air of a temperature
far below the combustion point is. thrown
against the ffame, the hot vapors are
swept away, and others which are rising
IN their place are so cooled that COM
bination with oxygen no longer con-
tinues; in other words, the candle ceases
to burn. On the other hand, when we
blow large fire, the mass of burning
combustion is so great, that instead of
the carbon and hydrogen being cooled,
the oxygen is heated, and the combina-
ton is made more active; in other
words, the fire burns more fiercely.

one of the hot spots of the ComstOck.
The hot drift on the 1900 level of the
Gould and Curry is the scene of the
most serious of these casualties due to

bar and wishing that "pizness in Paw

halted at the end,Of the bar near the
door, and, in sweet-sugared accents,

As the stranger tipped the decanter and
tipped and poured again, his bosom
swelled and he mildly Observed: "Ah!

SICKNESS.
Perhaps there is no word common among
us that is more expressive of our weakness,
than the word sickness. In plain and UNI
mistakable terms it tells us of our destina
and the frailty of our lives, and from it
we learn a lesson of humility and Deepen
dance as it shows US the utter folly of pride
and ambition. 1t is in pain and sickness,
that the proud and naughty spirit of man
is made to feel his weakness and dependence,
for the strongest man and the greatest hero
is but weakness and inlpotency before the
inhexible and antagonistic powers that push
him downward to the grave. For neither
high birth nor, nor dignities, nor fortune,
nor talent and genius, nor the idolatrous
love OF kindred and friends can purchase
exemption from sickness, voc and misery.

classes and grades of mankind, the noble as

these can secure to us the bloom OF immor-
