The Ladies' Wanted BOmc
Breakfast.

A few years ago a steamer drew
into the Bay of Naples with a lot of
passengers, among whom were
small party of Americans. The night
had been rough, and the ship was
behind time. It was 10 o'clock al
ready, and no breakfast. The stingy
Captain had resolved to economize.
A stout, quiet man, with stout
hickory stick, went to the Captain,
and begged for a little coffee, at
least, for his ladies. The Captain
turned his back, fiuttered his coat
tails in the face of the stout, quiet
man, and walked up his deck. The
stout, quiet man followed, and still
respectfully begged for something for
the ladies, who were faint with hun
ger. Then the Captain turned and
threatened to put him in irons, at
the same time calling his officers
around him. The stout man with the
stout sticky very quiet proceeded
to thrash the Captain. He thrashed
him until he could not stand; and
then thrashed every officer that dared
to show his face, as well as half the
crew. Then he went down and made
the cook get breakfast. This was an
old Californian, "Dave Cotton" as
we used to call him up at Yreka. OF
course, an act like that was punisha-
BILE with death almost. Piracy on
the high seas and all that sort of
offense was charged and know
not how much gold it cost to heal
the wounded head and dignity Of the
Captain of the ship But this Cali
fornian neither knew the law nor
cared for the law. He had little
party Of ladies with him, and he
would not see them go hungry. He
would have that coffee il it cost him
his head. Dear Dave Cotton! /
hear he is dead now. We first got
acquainted one night in Yreka while
shooting at each other.-Joa Q,in
Miller, IN the Californian.

Useful Recipes.

GSGhtaA A@GGhRNS.
1t is calculated that one gallon OF
white paint will cover about forty
four yards OF surface.
The taste OF fish may be removed
very effectively from steel knives and
forks by rubbing them with fresh
orange or lemon peel.
GROUP. Relief can be had in the
worst cases of Group by giving from
one half to one teaspoonful of pow
dered alum mixed with molasses.
1t is said that little alum, dissol-
we'd in water and rubbed on frosted
feet, will cure the itching and burn
ing that Is so unpleasant to those af-
tlicted.
COTTAGE BAKED PUDDING. Two
eggs, two cupfuls of sugar, half a
cupful of butter, one teaspoonful of
soda sifted in two cupfuls OF -four
and three cupfuls of buttermilk.
Stir this last into the flour, ETC., and
mix lightly. Bake an hour in pud-
ding dish.
PRUNE WHIP.-Sweeten to taste,
and stew three-fourths of u pound OF
prunes; when perfectly cold add
white OF four eggs beaten stiff; stir
all this together till light; put in
a dish and bake twenty minutes;
when cold serve in larger dish and
cover with whipped cream.
To KEEP SAUSAGE MEAT.-In-
stead of tile usual casing, it answers
very we'll to sew cotton into long
narrow bags-say ten inches long,
and the strip, before sewing together,
eight inches wide. Stuff this tightly
with the meat; tie both ends and
dip in cooked clear starch hang up
to dry keep in cool, dry place.
BRIoCHE.- This is an excellent
light cake for breakfast or luncheon,
and Is much used in France. Beat
one-quarter pound of butter until it
is in cream; take three eggs and
beat until light; mix thoroughly
with the butter; add to this one-half
pound Of sifted flour, and to this mix
one small cake compressed yeast,
then gill of water; set to rise over
night In a warm place; put in tur-
ban form and bake in quick oven.
To CURE TETANus.- A cores
pendent OF the Scientific American
says: ''Let any one who has an at
tack of lockjaw take small quanti-
ty OF turpentine, warm 1t and pour
it on the wound, no matter where
the wound is, and relief will follow
in less than minute. Nothing bet
ter can be applied to severe cut or
bruise than old turpentine; it will
give certain relief almost instantly.
Turpentine is also sovereign RENEE
dy for Group. Saturate q piece of
flannel with 1t and place the flannel
ON the throat and chest, and in Sc
we're case three or four drops on a
lump of sugar may be taken inward
ly. Every family should have a bot
tie on hand.
How TO GET RID OF STUNTS
Farmers who desire to get rid of their
stumps, may find something to their
advantage in the following recon-
from the Scientific Amer
lean: "In the autumn, bore a hole
one or two inches in diameter, ac-
to the girth of the stump,
in the center of the latter,
and about eighteen inches deep.
Put into it one or two ounces of salt
petre; fill the hole with water and
plug it up close. In the ensuing
spring take out the plug and pour in
about half a gill of kerosene oil and
ignite it. The stump will shoulder
away without blazing, to the very
extremity Of the roots, leaving moth
ing but ashes"

had thought that I could out of the
occurrences of the past week have
written a famous letter to you, but
the towering form of the General
loomed up here in 'propria perso-
nae,' and he is always "eQual to any
occasion"
Mrs. Jackson and her daughter have
received an ovation that surely they
must appreciate, for they have never
received greater at any other hands.
This evening the Louisiana Jockey
Club complimented them; the "Con-
tinentals''-ev famous in this sort
of thing-remembered those ladies
most handsomely.
Gen. Lee leaves tomorrow, and
will probably stop at Macon, Geor-
gia, to deliver an address before the
Historical Association of that city.
By the way! Did the General mark
the great likeness General Lee bore
to Phil Brashier, Of your parish? 1t
was wonderful, and was remarked by
every visitor from Baton Rouge.
Your good city had quite fire
scare and really have always been
more or less nervous about fires there,
not that you have not the most gal
liant fire department, but the build
ings being so old and dry, SO finder
like, that if it once got well caught,
with high wind, where would the
trouble end ? the pulling down and
restoring of some Of the dilapidated
places will do great good. You are
to have cheap excursion to New Or

OF A BAPTIST

fully, and the sum realizedTs a full
guarantee of the future peri anency
and final success of this enter prise.

ties having little or no local interest
in our city enterprises, resulteN lin Sc

Just here was placed at no little

hope to make another canvass in
the near future, and trust the broad
viewed, public-spirited citizens Of
Baton Rouge, will not be altogether
unconcerned about this, certainly, i'm
portant matter.
If I cannot interest the enterpris-
ing public ofmy own city in behalf Of
this work, / shall be willing to turn
over what has been collected, to the
proper authority, and deem my Ion
ger stay here unwise. Not within
the experience of our Oldest citizens,
has there been an appeal made here
in behalf of the object under consid-
Grafton.
Strange that such has been the
case. 1t shall be so no longer. Our
good people shall have the oppertu-
nifty and privilege Of responding to
an appealin this direction.
| trust that this appeal will not
meet with the always popular, yet
sometimes uncharitable cry of "hard
tines" That cry is about as old as
time itself and seems very promising
for yet greater longevity. 1.-THE peo-
pie here will literally and promptly
respond, the building will be COM
pleted this year. We are feeling the
need of such a building, just now,
very much.
True, the noble and generous Is
raelites of Baton Rouge, have kindly
allowed us the use of their synagogue
for the present, yet we are reluctant
to ask too much in this direction.
What will our good people do in
behalf Of so urgent and laudable an
enterprise l will answer in my next.

OBITUARY.

Died, In Brooklyn, September "a. Annie
F., only daughter OF William aud Eliza
Chase, aged % years.
The subject OF this notice was born in
Fryeburg and resided there until about
three years ago when she went with her par
ents 10 Brooklyn. Her health. which had al
ways been delicate, seemed improved by
the change. In August she visited the
Catskill Mountains with some friends. and
was seized upon her return. with typhoid
fever, that, after an illness OF five weeks,
terminated her life.
Endowed with deeply religious nature,
and reared In the atmosphere OF Chris
tian home, she early avowed her hope in
the Redeemer and her intention TO devote
herself to His service, and not long after
her removal 10 New York she openly de-
clared her faith and became member OF
the Brooklyn Tabernacle A dutiful daugh
ter, loving sister, q faithful friend and an
earnest Christian, she will be missed by
oil who knew her, but by no others so
constantly aud sadly rs by the grief strick-
en- parents, the light OF whose life IL, rs 1t
were, gone out and their house left unto
them desolate. The funeral services were
held In the Methodist church in Fryeburg,
and she was laid 10 rest In its quiet yard.
while her friends, young and old, were
grouped around the open grave which low
ing hands had strewn with flowers. As
the words OF the sweet hymn ASLEEP In
Jesus" hoatcd out on the still air, 1t indeed
seemed rs II the sleep He giveth His Be-
loved had fallen upon her, aud, IS we
turned away aud lett her with sunlight
falling aud the blue sky bending tenderly
over all, we were sure she would awake In
His likeness In the house not made with
hands eternal In the heavens. C.

A LITTLE MIXED.-The recent Greenback
State Convention has not brought peace
but n sword In the party. Mr.. A. J. Chase
OF Sebec, having been placed upon the new
committee, declines on the ground that he
Is already member of the regular commit
tee chosen last year, aud does not recog-
nile the gathering at Lewiston as a con-
veuiion OF the party. The Portland -Ne,cs
labors with Mr.. Chase, telling him that
he means well but don't know that the old
committee has betrayed the party and thus
beco ne f,lo de Sc, or words 20 that effect.
The upshot OF the matter Is that there are
now two committees claiming TO represent
the Greenback organization 10 Maine, and
unless their claims are reconciled In some
way, there will be two conventions next
year.
