mustard, tablespoonful of vinegar, in
which little tarragon has been added,
and the juice of half lemon; with the
same stock an addition of celery can be
made, which is excellent for boiled fowls.
A sauce piquante is readily made with the
same stock, adding half teaspoonful Of
white pepper, and a wineglassful of vine
gar and little thyme. An infinite variety
OF sauce may be made, providing the stock
is on hand. 1t must however; be remem-
bered that good sauce is the reward of
constant vigilance, and that there is
happy moment which must be seized, to
end the process, which exactitude is onlv
to be acquired by practice. There is no
spent up Utica" of sauces. any body with
the least gastronomic taste can improvise
them. All that is required is that
sauce should be even, homogeneous, and,
except in sauces piequante, that the favors
should never be violent, but be happily
blended. A sauce tartar is really nothing
else than mayonnaise, and made with
lemonjuice, mustard, cayenne, and some
onion. Here is good receipt for it:
Chop up half an onion as fine as possible,
and add to it a tablespoonful of chopped
parsley. Take the yolks of two eggs and
teaspoonful of Durham mustard, tea
spoonful of salt, and half saltspoon-
full OF cayenne pepper. Rub these all
perfectly smooth. Then add two table
spoonfuls of oil and the juice of three
lemons. Tartar sauce being very hot, is
good only for very rich food, such as fried
cells and pork chops. Mint sauce is
relic of the earliest English cookery, and
about this time of the year, when mint is
fresh, is excellent. Dissolve in not too
sharp vinegar two tablespoonfuls of white
sugar. Chop enough mint too fill tabl-
spoon, and mix it, It may be used either
hot or cold, but it is much better hot.

FEARFUL ENCOUNTER BETWEEN A
FARMER AND MAD Ox.-Naar Orwigs
burg, Pa, yesterday, Geo. Herman, a
well. do farmer, narrowly escaped being
killed by an OK which was suffering from
hydrophobia. The animal bad been rails
ed by Mr. Herman. few days ago it
was bitten BY dog supposed to be mad.
On Wednesday evening Mr.. Herman
noticed that the OK acted strangely. and
he pehned it up in shed in the barnyard.
About o'clock yesterdy morning he was
awakened by hearing strange sounds in
the direction Of the barn. Supposing that
one Of his horses was unwell, he went out,
and was surprised to see the OK raving
around the barnyard, uttering low moans,
and tearing up the ground with its horns
When Mr.. Herman entered the yard the
OK stopped its antics, and he approached
it. When he was a out twenty feet from
the animal it lowered its head, and, with
a roar, made rush at him. The man
retained his presence Of mind, and, as the
animal approached, he stepped to one side,
but in doing SO he was struck in the face
BY hoof. he staggered to his feet and
made toward garden fence, but the OK
turned and charged after him. The dis
tance was about thirty yards, and the race
was won by the man, who reached the
fence and fairly threw himself over it.
Before be could rise from the ground
there was a terrible crash, and the OK
dashed through the fence, scattered the
boards right and left and rolling headlong
over Mr.. Herman. It didn't take the
man long to get on his feet and escape
over another fence, which surrounds the
house. His clothes wore badly used up
and his face was covered with blood from
the wound caused by the kick he had re
ceived; but he was not seriously injured.
After getting gun and loading it with
powder and handful Of bird shot
wrapped in rag, Herman returned to
the fray. He found the OK paving the
ground wratbfully, and pausing occasion
ally to dig his horns viciousIy into it, at
the same time giving vent to roars that
could be heard more than mile away.
The animals head was coYered with blood
from cuts received by butting its way out
Of the stable, and great quantities ofsaliva
issued from its mouth. Herman mounted
stone wall which runs along one side of
the garden, and from that place fired two
shots at the infuriated OK. The FIRST sho,
took fleet in its neck, and only seemed
to increase it's rage, for with blind fury it
.nh ut n oho knf sta
head against ths stones. The second shot,
however, struck the OK in the side and
killed it. On going to the stable where
the animal had been penned the night be-
fo,e, Herman found the sides Of that
structure completely battered to pieces,
aud in another part Of the yard he found
hog, weighing nearly two hundred
pounds, dead, and yored to shapeless
mass ofjrEy.-Reading Eagle.
