How To Cook A HU>BAND.-The first
thing To be done is to catch him. Many
a good husband is spoiled in the cooking.
Some women keep them in hot water,
while others freeze them with conjugal
GOODNESS. some smother them with con-
tention. and still others keep them in a
pick lc all their lives These women serve
them with tongue sauce. Now, it is not
to be supposed that husbands will be
tender and good if treated this way; but
they are, on the contrary, very delicious
when managed as follows: Get large
jar, called the jar of carefulnesS. which
all good housewives have on hand: place
your husband in it and place him near
the fire of onjuga love; let the fire be
pretty hot. especially let it be clear:
above all. let the heat be constant: cover
him over with the spice of pleasantly.
and if you add kisses and other confec-
tons, let them be accompanied with
sufficient portion of secrecy, mixed with
prudence and moderation.

Extract from an interview with Gov

crat:-"Have you learned OF the death
of Justice Clifford. of the supreme
courtP" 81 saw it announced IN an al
ternoon telegram, and I have a piece Of
information that might be disseminated
at once. 1t will be remembered that
Judge Clifford was q prominent member
OF the 8 to Z commission, and was irti
mately connected with Its proceedings.
Some time ago, when 1 was in Wash
iigton City, Judge Clifford met me and
began to talk about the commission
There were present my wife and Mrs
Coleman, beside the Judge and myself
In the course of his conversation the
learned Judge said: Colonel, l have
prepared a complete and detailed histo-
~ of all the transactions of the commits
sion, which I propose shall be published
after my death. The manuscript is IN
the custody of my wife, and when l die
it will appear i'll print. unless she shall
determine otherwise. When it is pub
lished it will create a sensation through
out the country The. solemn manner
of the judge impressed US all. and when
l learned to-day Of his death, his words
recalled themselves to me instantly"
do You think that history will now be
published ?" THE country has a right
to expect It."

The republicans would like to break
the solid south, but not the solid repub-
lican negro vote in the south; yet there
is danger of their losing q part of this
vote, owing to the negro's frequent dis.
appointments in his efforts to secure
office from the party with which he has
acted uniformly since he was made an
elector. The colored editor ot a North
Carolina paper counsels the negroes
that the time has come tor self-interest
to show them that independence in
politics will best serve their future, and
that they will never get Office SO long as
the republicans can lump the negro vote
as a dead sure thing. The negroes find,
Notwithstanding murmurings that haye
taken the shape of formal protests, that,
while they are doing all the voting for
the republicans 10 the southern states.
the few white republicans step into all
the Offices. In several states conven.
tons OF colored men have been held,
and the powers that be have been noti-
fed that loyalty and hunger are not
compatible. Unless the loaves and fishes
are dealt to southern negroes with a
generous hand, there is likely to be an
alarming bolt before the next general
election.

The reward offered for the capture
of the different set of outlaws
is all right so far as operations IN
other states is concerned; but in this
state there remains another thing to
do IN order to ensure efficient service
of officers even where well disposed,
aud that is to insure to sheriffs that
the expenses of their posses shall be
paid. They will not wait to consid-
or their individual remuneration but
they often are not able to pay ,out
hundreds of dollars for feed aud "a
tions for men aud horses. The vital
defect in the present law is that no
provision is made to meet such expen-
ses. They should be certified by the
courts of criminal jurisdiction, aud
paid out Of the state treasury, as
other criminal costs.

THE TRUE STORY.

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER: - As there
seems to be q number OF exaggerated
aud untruthtul stories afloat regarding
an alleged party of suspicious men ap-
pearing on the north bank OF the river,
near the ferry OF which 1 have charge,
last Thursday, supposedly the robbers
OF the c., r. 1. & P. r. r. tram, most of
which, it not all. reports are credited to
me, permit me to tell you the facts In
the case. About 9 o'clock. Thursday
morning, I observed that some man had
got into a large yawl used by the gov
eminent i've Improvement force, which
hid been lying at the north bank, and
was dropping it down the river. As the
boat was in constant use l thought
nothing OF 1t at the moment, but when
it continued to 90 below Its usual scene
OF operations l became suspicious that
the boat had been stolen, and looking
through my field glass l saw it some
four or five hundred yards off, the man
steering with an oar and using a board,
which he had placed upright as a sail,
the wind blowing strongly down the
stream. As quickly as practicable | sent
word to Capt. 10. A. Wilson, from
whom the boat was borrowed. The man
seemed to be a laborer, clad in overalls,
and had some leaves about his forehead.
l saw no arms in The boat; nor did | see
him until he was in the boat nor did l
see any person with him on the bank of
the stream, or gong down the shore,
armed or unarmed. About q half honr
after the man left with the boat [ saw
two men come to the river on horseback
and water their horses. l supposed
them to belong to a party OF four men ,
who had been encamped since the
lay before about three hundred wards
above the ferry landing, on the nortt,
side OF the river. Myself and the engtn-
Ger, MIR. Joseph Monroe, about twelve
O'Clock, went to their camp to see j! we
could learn anything regarding the
stealing Of the boat. as l had previously
thought n Of their number mi uht be
the guilty person. We found all four OF
the men in the camp where thew had
been waiting Tor some cattle, and they
crossed on the ferry. over t o Lexington.
about 4 O'Clock the mex day, with their
W wagon, W others aud the cattle
euSJ ooN ooSh ""i1ioS iOT. 1.-TWO young
men. Kirk Foster and Bob Jennings,
went down the river in q skitf to recover
the yawl, leaving about 6 o'clock p. M,
the day it was stolen. and they told me
subsequently, that they had found it
about 8 O'Clock. securely tied to the Ray
county. or north side of the river, about
ten miles below this place. They passed
about a halt mile below to watch Tor
and it possible catch the thief, and re-
malned there until 3 O'Clock the next
morning. when seeing no one, they got
into the yawl, tied their Skin behind
and rowed up to Lexington, arriving
about II O'Clock. | had no reason to
suspect that there was anything in the
circumstance, except that the man stole
the boat to take a ride down the river.

A newspaper correspondent at SPRING
field writes that he heard the following:
"'Young man said an old weather.
beaten, time-honored republican politi-
clan the other evening IN the rotunda of
the Leland hotel, L can see that the re-
publican party in Illinois for some rea.
son is getting IN a state OF dissolution,
and without there comes substantial sup
port and effective organization when it
is wanted, the whole thing will go to
pieces and the state be easily claimed
tor the democrats at the next election.
Stranger things than this have happen
ed during my time, and it would moi
take me very much by surprise to see
Jack Logan, Shelby Cullom, Long
Jones and a few republican circus-ri.

the shelf, to be iorgotten.'"

The Intelligencer has no sympathy
with criminals; and never did have. 1t
has so uniformly been on the side of the
state, as against criminals, as to excite
the ire OF defending lawyers, notable in
the Concordia bank robbery case, when
n OF the attorneys OF the accused stop
ped his paper because OF the position we
took in the matter. As we view it there
are so many loop holes in tho law that
these kind OF people have more than an
even chance in their favor, and while
we have no desire to see the innocent
punished, we are always anxious to
have it made very certain that the gull
ty shall not escape.
