a Frontier Wedding.

A story comes from the scene of the
Ute troubles which illustrates the ro-
nance of frontier life and which is of
peculiar interest here because the par
ties are well known. At Camp Douglas,
on the morning when the order came for
four companies of the Fourteenth In
fantry to 60 to the front, the impression
was that the campaign would last all
winter and would thus interfere with
the marriage of Lieutenant r. T. Yeat-
man. of Company [, and Miss Louise
Mulhall, sister of Lieutenant Mulhall,
which had been arranged for Christmas.
The order was received at 9 Am. There
was hasty conference of the principals
in the case and it was decided to have
the ceremony performed Immediately
Accordingly the chaplain was summoned
and at 10 o'clock they were married. At
IL o'clock the command started for the
Indian reservation. Lieutenant Yeat-
man is a nephew of Admiral Ammen.
Miss Mulhall lived here with her brother
and mother about two years, until the
spring of 1878, when Lieutenant Mulhall
was ordered west.- Washington Cor. ~.

Pity for the Poor Tiger.

TIE death is announced, in Paris, at
the ripe age of "a, of M. Dejean, the
of the circus in the Champs
Elysees and on the Boulevards. His
career was a remarkable one. He start
ed in life as butchers apprentice, and
his good looks drew all the cooks in the
to the shop of his master,
who, on retiring, left him the business.
Having amassed 8 comfortable fortune,
he started the circus, kept it going for
half century, and realized very large
profits. He was remarkable for his her.
culean strength and for his attachment
to the Napoleon family, which the late
emperor requited by making M. Dejean
al officer of the Legion of Honor. Of
his strength stories are told that border
on the marvellous, in which fiction
mingles very largely with fact. Thus il
is stated that soon after starting the
circus tiger escaped from a menagerie
he was exhibiting, and made straight for
him. Dejean quietly opened his arms
and then closed them; when he reopened
them the tiger fell dead at his feet,
smothered in his embrace.

Louis Globe Democrat.
THERE is one fact, too commonly over
looked by the average fockmaster, per-
haps too little understood, viz: From
the time cool nights begin to set in, in
the fall, until the middle of winter, the
most of the fleece is grown. Nature pro-
vices for the want, and the growth is at
that period, more rapidly pushed for
ward then at any other. This is GER
tainly so, and If 80 what is the lesson
taught? To those DESTROYS of growing
the heaviest feeces of which their sheep
are capable, the line of procedure is
very plain. Supply the call for wool
with wool-growing material. In other
words, see that the fall feed is good and
in abundance, and that they are shelter
ed from the storms and sleets of the late
autumn, and that they go into their
winter quarters vigorous and strong.
Then the first half Of the winter should
be the most liberal half. Feed well, and
if any stinting must be done, let it be
done in the after part of the winter,
after the bulk of the fleece is grown,
and being in good heart, they will not be
dainty, but will eat what q poor weak
sheep will refuse. But don't STINT
Western Rural. aH
BONE dust, like barnyard manure,
does not Immediately yield up its nitro
gen and phosphoric acid to plants. The
bone phosphate of lime is. insoluble in
water, and but very slightly soluble in
water containing carbolic acid. The
gelatine of the bones would soon decom-
pose in moist, porous, warm soil, pro-
vided it was not protected by the oil
and the hard matter of the bones.
Steaming removes the oil, and reducing
the bones to as fine condition as posi-
BILE is another means of increasing their
availability. Another good method is
to mix the bone dust with barnyard ma
nure and let both ferment together, and
[ am inclined to think this Is the best,
simplest and most economical method
of rendering bones available. The bone
dust causes the heap of manure to fer
ment more rapidly, and the fermenta-
ton of the manure softens the bones
Both the manure and the bones are inn
proved and rendered richer and more
available by the process. One ton of
good bone dust contains about as much
nitrogen as eight and one half tons OF
fresh stable manure. But one ton of
manure contains more rotash than
five tons of bone dust.-Harris' Talk on

When candle-flsmes burn blue,

My love that was so true
And that killed with scorping.
The watch dogs howl and bay;

Only the other dav

Intent upon teguiling.
A little while ago
Iwrung your soul with signing;
Or brought saddeu glow
into your cheek by low,
Soft answers, in replying.
My life was all disguise,
A mask of feiots and fancies;
I used to lift my eyes,
Ard take yeu by surprise
With smiles and upward glances.
And now, where'er go.
Your sad ghost follows after;
And blue the flame burns low,
And doors creak to and fro,
And silent grows the laughter.

FAMILY MATTERS,
BAKED BEETS,

These excellent vegetables are quite
as good baked as boiled, and the sugar is
better developed by the baking process.
The oven should not be too hot, and the
beets must be frequently turned. Do
not peel them until they are cooked,
then serve with butter, pepper and
salt.
SURE CURE FOR COLDS.
Boil two ounces of faxseed in one
quart of water; strain, and add two
ounces rock candy, one half pint syrup
or honey, juice of three lemons; mix,
and let all boil well; let cool and bottle
Dose, one cupful before bed, one-half
cupful before meals. The hotter you
drink it the better.
Ginger PUDDING. -
Half a pound of -four, quarter of q
pound of suet, quarter of pound of
moist sugar, two large teaspoonfuls of
grated ginger. Shred the suet very fine,
mix it with the -four, sugar and ginger;
stir all well together; butter basin and
put the mixture in dry; tie cloth over
and boil for three hours.
EGG OR BUTTER GRAVY.
Put into tin dish one quarter cup of
butter and large tablespoonful of -four.
Set on the stove, and as the butter melts
stir in the -four until smooth, or free
from Jumps; then pour on nearly pint
of boiling water. Slice into your gravy
bowl two hard boiled eggs, pour the
gravy on them and serve. Salt and pep

APPLE CAKE.
Take two cups of dried apples; stew
just enough to chop easily; chop as fine
as raisins and boil in two cups of molas-
ses till preserved through; drain off the
molasses, then add two eggs, one cup CT
butter, one cup of sour milk, two tea
spoonfuls of soda, five cups of flour and
spices of all kinds; add the apples and
one large cup of raisins the last thing.
SCOTCH BROTH.
Two pounds of scraggy part of the
neck of mutton. Cut the meat from the
bone and cut off all the fat; cut the meat
into small pieces; put into q soup pot
with one large slice of turnip, two car
rots, one onion, one stalk of parsley, one
half cup of barley, three pints of water,
and boil gently two hours. On the bones
put one pint of water, boil two hours
and then strain on the soup. Cook one
spoonful of water and one of butter to-
gether until perfectly smooth, then stir
into the soup and add one teaspoonful
of chopped parsley; season with salt and
pepper.
GOLDEN BUCK
A golden buck is simply a Welsh
rarebit with 8 poached egg placed upon
it. Take fresh, but rather rich, cheese,
and cut into small, even.sized pieces, the
quantity to be regulated by the size or
number of rarebits needed, and melt
upon a rather slow IRE. If the cheese
be dry add a small quantity of butter.
A little (say sherry-glass to each rare
bit) sour ale, or in its absence ordinary
bitter or fresh ale, should be added as
the cheese melts After the cheese is
thoroughly melted and the above in
gradients stirred in, add small guam
tity of celery salt, and Immediately pour
upon piece of toast previously placed
upon hot plate. By placing a poached
egg upon this it becomes golden buck.
The further addition of piece of boiled
bacon renders it q Yorkshire buck.

providing it is given with regularity.
Cattle and sheep, also, should have reg
ular allowances of juicy food after being
taken out of the pasture, to keep the
digestive organs in good health.
The high price that ounces bring in
market should induce at least the attempt
to grow more extensively then we see
tried. The borer, one of the chief troub.
les in some places, should not deter the
people from planting, as this is easily
kept of. The blight can be controll-
ed also to some extent by letting the
trees grow bushy, and planting one of
two trees near the house where the soap
suds of the wash days could be thrown
around the trunk, would almost insure
a crop of fruit. In the east we had no
trouble in growing them on any good
soil, but the finest ever grown on our
ground was on trees near the drain from
the kitchen, and one tree that stood near
the well, the pump of which was used
by number of families, and the waste
water flowed over the roots all summer.
This thing of wet feet for trees and vines
depends very much upon the subsoil; if
porous and the water can sink away and
never become stagnant the trees will
flourish. The ounce in particular is
partial to deep, rich, moist soil, and tits
n such situations that they yield the
finest fruit.

road on Broadway caused autter among the mer-
chants that thoroughare yesterday. especially as
Alderman Cavanagh asserted that twelve votes in the

which was made by Park Commissioner Smith e.

be q surface one It will run from the Battery to
Union square. and thence through by regular con-
nections As soon the assent OF the Aldermen has
been obtained the grant will be transferred to the
company which will then be incorporated under
the general laws Of the State relating to railroad
panies Nothing will be done this year. as 1t Is too
late have all the plans and papers in my posses
sion but these and the names of all parties inter-
ested are matters Of confidence with me. owing to

Alderman John Cavanagh, who was found in his
saloon ON the corner of Sixth avenue and Fourth
street, said:-"The application was made In the
OF Mr.. Smith +. Lane. as COUNSEL who refused
to give tho Of his associates until he
sured by written pledges from . sufficient number
of members OF the Board that they would secure
the adoption Of the resolution. This precaution on
his part defeated the measure, for the members be-
came suspicious and would not sign and now the
application is withdrawn, but will come up early
next year. The route. 30 far a. remember, was
from the Battery to Seventeenth street. SO rs to
allow all the intersecng roads to reach the Battery

that the project has been withdrawn until next

To THE EDITOR OF THE HRRALD:-
1t is contemplated by the Police Commissioners
to abolish the inspection districts. probably good
move on their part. for it will be tho saving OF
great expense to the city and likely benefit to the
department.
At present the city is divided into four inspection
districts inspector located In each district.
to whom tho captains OF precincts make their daily
reports. Those reports are looked over by the in
spcctor and then forwarded to the Superintendent
at Headq quarters. where they fled Under this
arrangement the captains are seldom seen by the
Superintendent, unless sent for on some special
business. The Commissioners have an idea that 1t
would be better that the captains should be in moro
direct comm nication with the superintendent
Now that the Commissioners are bent on making
apply early to the Legislature and effect an amend
men to the police law by reducing the Police Com
mission three instead of four. as 1t now stands
That would do away with the ridiculous deadlock ex
hibitons which have too often witnessed in this
commission. The Fire Department. has only three
and they always get decision aud the business or
the department not retarded There is no tangible
reason why the police should not be the same. IL
would also be well TO have an act passed author
izng three inspectors to hold court for the trial OF
delinquent policemen thus severing the appointing
power from the trials. leaving the Commissioners
the appointing power aud jurisdiction over the SUI
perintendent and inspectors. IN.
