to open up said street.
The committee find the various streets
and thoroughfares Of town outside OF
| Main street to be greatly in need OF grad
ing and filling up in places, 30 as to estab-
/ iish something like q uniform grade, but
| the complaint is so general that the COM
| mittee believed the funds now on hand and
available for that purpose to be entirely
inadequate to place the various streets and
highways up to the standard OF . moderate
condition, and they would recommend that
those streets now in q state OF moderate
condition be let remain in place, and that
the available funds now on hand be applied
10 the worst places, and where the i'm
movements are most needed.
The committee have learned that there
was a probability Of the passageway being
closed up between Adams street aud O.Neil
avenue, over which o large portion OF the
school children pass on their way TO and
from the school house. We would recon-
mend that some immediate steps be taken
by the County Commissioners Tor the open
ing and maintaining OF q passageway De-
tween said streets.
The committee would suggest the neces-
sity OF some immediate work being done
on O'Neil avenue, towards opening the

Ouray as q Horse Jockey.


Five years ago, when the Utes and
Navajoes were not warning with each
other or investigating the firmness with
which the white mans scalp was attach
ed, they devoted themselves to horse rae
ing, betting blankets, ponies, and their
squaws even, upon the results of the con-
tests. Now, although there is no horse
flesh in the world that can leave q Ute
pony behind, when climbing the rough
and rugged mountain trails or holding
out for long journeys is concerned, they
are not fast runners on level ground. SO,
however notifying the confession was,
after week of daily races, the Utes were
obliged to acknowledge that their horses
were inferior to those of the Navajoes; but
by the time that they were convinced Of
this fact they were nearly bankrupt. The
Navajoes gathered up their spoils and
departed for their tents, while the Utes
went to Ouray with their tale of woe.
Sapavanaro, Shavino and Cojoe were all
heavy losers, but, at the council which
Ouray called, could suggest DO plan to
retrieve their losses except to follow the
victorious Navajoes, and by force de-
prive them of their booty. To this
proposition Ouray would not assent, say
ing that such deed would stain the
name of their tribe, and dismissed the
council, telling the Utes to challenge the
Navajoes to another series of races two
months from TINT time, September, 1874.
and he would attend to the rest. Through
n. F. Bond, the agent, Ouray, having
raised 81 800 by the sale of some Of his
stock, sent to st. Louis and purchased o
Mambrino racer, bay, and had him
brought to his house. Ouray caused it
to be given out that he had brought q
pony from Utah to contest the races, and
the Navajoes were on tip-toe of expecta-
ton as he was brought forth. When the
blankets with which he was covered
from head to FOOT were removed, and,

A Cuban Cataract.

A Cuban correspondent of the New
York Tribune gives this description of a
pretty cataract called Rincon Grande:
"The fall is one of great beauty. The
name signifies 8 the great corner, and
corner describes it well. Ariver winds
down deep canon till it reaches the spot
where two mountain slopes just close upto
each other, forming two sides of what is
almost square, and at the angle the
water makes it's leap into the lower bed.
It is boisterous torrent. 1t acts as
though its banks were too narrow, and
each particle was crowding its neighbor
to get out first. It comes tumbling
down in foaming, splashing mass, that
in its hurry seems to have worked itself
up to a white heat. After seventy-five
feet of tortuous trouble it finally settles
on its new level, and spreads out with an
air of content over broad, pebbly high
way, over which it goes on to the mex
perplexing corner.

A Condemned Mans Joke.

The Utica, N Y, Herald has revivedan
incident connected with the career Of the
notorious criminal Ruloff, who ended his
days ON the gallows in Broome county,
some years ago, which was not given
much publicity at the time. 1t is recall
ed by the death of ex-Sheriff Root, OF
Tompkins county, the incident being q
hugo. Joke played upon the sheriff by
this condemned murderer. Ruloff was
no sooner arrested than the sheriff set
about to coax confession from him,
particularly with regard to the crime in
Tompkins county. He worried him with
ceaseless opportunities, and finally Ru-
loft vaguely intimated that he might
have something to communicate at the
last moment, and promised that what
ever he should decide to make public
would be committed to his hands. Root
was overioyed at his supposed triumph,
and looked very wise whenever reference
was made to the probability of Rulof' 8
making q confession. He mysteriously
limited that he was in the possession of
valuable information, which he was
under obligations to keep secret until
after Ruloff's death. On the way to the
scaffold the murderer handed Root an
envelope carefully sealed and endorsed
not to be opened while he was alive.
After the execution the jubilant sheriff
collected together number of his
friends and prepared for formal open
ing and examination of the document.
Upon opening the envelope nothing was
found but a sheet of note paper contain
ing mass Of unintelligible hieroglyphics
which Root professed to believe was a
foreign language. But nobody was ever
able to decipher it, and it was evident to
any educated person that the device was
a bare-faoed deception. 1t was designed
by the cunning rascal as a joke on the
sheriff and proved to be too good a one
to be soon forgotten by his friends.

GastrOn0my In Maryland.


A plain winter dinner in Maryland
without any Of the illusions in which a
French Gordon bieu would be likely to
enshroud it, after four Cherrystone Oys-
tiers, each diner gets one canvas-back.
Never slice the bird, insert q fork astride
the breastbone diagonally and lay hslf of
him on each side, leaving the carcass on
the fork between. Of course the canvas
back should be preceded by sherry and
terrapin. Serve these with large hon.
my, fried in cakes, potatoes a La Sara
toga, celery salad or in the stick. With
this, bottle Of dry champagne to each
guest, and top off with as much Bur-
gundy as reason and moderation would
suggest.
The canvas-back is seldom seen at his
best, after his publication by fire, unless
the party to whose astronomical en-
thusiasm he is to furnish entertainment
is seated at the table awaiting its arrival
from the household altar, the oven. The
celery flavor is more marked in the bird
in the early part of the season. Five
minutes too long in the oven units the
duck for cultivated taste. An active
oven, skillfully handled, will cook q full
sized bird in twenty-five minutes. Twen-
ty-five is long enough under any circum-
stances. After your duck is picked and
drawn it should simply be wiped dry.
Water should never touch it after it is
denuded of its feathers, and it should be
seasoned to the taste before going to the
fire. The birds should be placed, when
done in hot, dry dishes. Waste no
thought nor time in fooling with gravy;
Immediately they are cut the richest
gravy that ever was tasted will fill the
dish at the touch of the knife.

peared, shout of derision rent the air
from the threats Of the Navajoes, and
they began to bet odds against his win
ming. The Utes said nothing, but in
structed by .Ouray, took every bet that
was offered, even if they risked their last
blanket.
The course used by them was about
three miles long, alevel mesa. Wachita
was ridden by his owner, and the bay by
the son of Sapavanaro. The word was
given, and the horses started amid an
anticipating shout of victory from the
Navajoes, which quivered away into
groan as they saw their favorite beaten
by a neck as they crossed the line. But
they did not give up. The close race
made them think that the defeat of
Wachita was due to the bad riding of his
owner. In the twinkling of nm eye he
was pulled off the horse by q dozen
hands, and Math-o-can, sub-chief of the
Navajoes, put on the back of Wachita.
This time the betting was heavier than
at first, the Utes betting eagerly, and the
Navajoes desperately. Sapavanaro's boy
gave the bay his head, and he came
across the line nearly q quarter of mile
ahead of Wachita The Navajoes were
busted" and the Utes rich. They had
not only recovered what they had before
lost, but their tepees were filed with
blankets and buffalo robes, while each
Navajoe was the poorer by pony. So
completely "broke" were they that the
Utes tell with glee how they rode to their
homes, some riding double and others
walking. This incident greatly increased
Ouray's influence over his tribe, and
caused all of them to look up to him as q
wise man. The bay is owned now by the
chief, who uses him as carriage horse,
and could not be induced to part with
him for any consideration.
