roborated by gentlemen who have recently
arrived at San FranciscO from the Sand

Moreno, an adyeutursr from this country,
who il well known in Washington, New
York and other Eastern citiea as q sort OF
Don Cesar de BazAn, Is at the bottom Of
It all. A year or more ago his Majesty
desired to appoint Moreno Prime Minister,
but was prevented from doing 80 by Cen
eral Comfy, the United States Minister,
who exposed his character. Moreno was
very indignant at Oomly's action, and
came to the United sGktes last fall for the
purpose Of securing COmly's removal, but
the aCcussr was too well known at the
White House and stIte Department TO So
cure any serious attention, and Secretary
Eysrts complimented Comfy for having
done his duty in exposing such an I'M
principled and reckless adVsnturer. II
appears now that after Moreno's return To
Honolulu, he induced the King TO enter
into arrangements by which the Chinese
merchants line Of steamers were to land
100000 Cinnamon IN the Island, on
which q capiatlon tax Of 81 each Waa 70

The sad story of the two women.
one in Richmond and the other in a
Atown in New Jersey, who were in
Huced TO marry the same man. and
pho discovered their mistake when it
pas too late TO remedy it, ought to
serve as forcible lesson to all those
foolish women who are willing to
: torn perpetual co-partnership with
a person about whose anteoedents
they know next TO nothing. The
scoundrel in question had nothing to
indorse him but his own agreeable adj
dress; and yet in two different locali-
ties, almost simultaneously. he sue
ceeded in palming himself off as
person of property, raised money, and
induced two girls of character to
marry him. A lamentable lack of
caution ON the part of parents and
too careless estimate of the marriage
relation on the part of young women
are evident in both instances.-Ex.

One Of A. Fl. stsnbape,s stor;a,.-

r preventative Aleck Stephens tells
an anecdoie illustrating how late in
life wOman's sensit;venes5 about her
age may last. He says that at Il time
when it was known that the widow OF
President Madison was in such poverty
as to really be altering for the necessa-
ries of life, bill for her relief giving
her pension was introduced into the
house. which he earnestly championed.
He made a telling point in urging its
Immediate passage by saying: "Gen-
tlemen, to-day the lady reaches the
venerable age of 81 years, and it would
be particularly graceful thing for this
house to honor the day by passing at
once the bill for her relief" He laid
such stress upon the matter and a,Ivo-
Gated the passage of the bill so warmly
that it was passed on that day. He
felt so elated with his triumph that he
decided to take the news to her him
self, and FASTENED ut once to her resi-
dence. Some one. however, had pre-
ceded him and fully reported his speech
to the lady, who, to his surprise, greet
ell him b. saying: ooh, thank you,
Mr.. Stephens. for getting my bill
through, but you made a mistake when
you said | was 81 to-day. l am not 81,
/ am only 80 to-day. That was grave
mistake" When Mr.. Stephens repeat
ed this to Mrs. John j. Crittenden, one
OF Mrs. Madison's friends, who had
told him her age, she said: "All the
same, Mr.. Stephens, it is true; she is
really 81 years Old" Mr.. Stephens
says he has never dared mention q a.
dy's age since, however much he might
hope to make an argument in her favor

FARM AND HOUESHOLD.

CELERY SAUCE. AS above, only add
chopped celery instead of capers, and
boil ten minutes, straining before
using.
WHITE SAUCE.-Melt together an
ounce Of butter and one of flour; add
a cupful of boiling milk, and two oumc-
es of sugar, with lemon or vanilla to
aste.
MINT SAUCE.-Put a tablespoonful
of chopped mint into bottle with a
cupful of vinegar and a couple of
tablespoonfulS of sugar 1t can be
used at any time, and is better for
keeping.
WHITE SAUCE.-Melt couple ounc-
es of butter in a saucepan and add a
tablespoonful Of flour. When thor
Oughly mixed pour in pint Of boil
ING water, little by little, stirring con-
tinually. When beginning to thlcken
take off and mix with it the yolk ofan
egg beaten up with a teaspoonful of
cold water.
CAPER SAUCE.-Melt together cou-
pie ounces of butter and a tablespoon
full Of flour. Put in pint of stock
and place over the fire, stirring it.
When beginning to get thick add
capers either whole or chopped. Give
a quick boil and take of the range.
Add salt, and the egg beaten up with
a teaspoonful of water.
To KEEP ICE.-Make double pock-
ct of wooden cloth, no matter how
coarse and faded it is. Have space
of two inches or so between the inner
and outer pockets, and pack this space
as full as possible with feathers. You
have no need to use geese feathers :;
hens feathers are just as good. With
a pocket thus constructed and kept
closely tied at the mouth, a few
pounds of ice may be kept a week.
SAUCE ROBERT.-SLCE three onions
and fry them to light brown in two
ounces of butter; add a teaspoonful
flour. Stir well and give another
fry add four tablespoonfuls of gra-
Wy OF stock with salt and pepper. Boil
gently for ten minutes, skimming well.
Add teaspOonful of made mustard
one of vinegar and the juice of half
lemon. Give it one boil, and pour
over mutton, veal, pork chops, steaks,
&c.
Oil cloth washed in hot water or in
soapsuds, or with brush, will look
dingy when dry, and soon crack and
peel off; but when always washed in
luke-warm water with a piece of soft
old flannel, and wiped perfectly dry
each time, will last longer and retain
its young looks down 10 old age: it
greatly improves its appearance to
use half milk and half water. Skim
milk, if not sour, is just as good as
new milk. This makes oil cloth look
as if vanished. Neither soap. hot
water or brush should ever be used
on it.
In cleaning mating wash twice du-
ring the summer with salt and water
a pint of salt TO half pailful of warm
soft water; dry quickly with a clean,
soft cloth. Treated in this way the
mating will not grow yellow. Or if
preferred, apply a thin coat of varnish
to the mating. That will make it
more durable and greatly improve its
If vanished, it will not
need washing. Now and then wipe
with wet cloth and dry quickly.
Use white varnish on white mating.
Be sure and have the varnish thin or
the mating will crack.

A Bad Thing for Females OF Uncertain
Ages.

Pittsburgh Dispatch: Some years
ago the courts of Pennsylvania grant
ed a bill for divorce on the allegations
of man that he had been deceived
and became a husband through the
lying and fraud of his wife. lie charg-
ed that she had lied about her AGE
verbally and by means of hair-dye.
false teeth, and the judicious use of
more or less cotton batting had made
her figure to become aperambulating,
snowy falsehood, and that he had been
grossly deceived into matrimonv
thereby. This was a bold invasion of
hong established female rights. Now
the British courts have taken up the
matter, and Miss Mabel Wilberforoe.
the fraud who was recently summari-
ly sat down upon in her action against
old man Philip, is TO be prosecuted for
forgery in swearing that she was born
i'm San Francisco in 1854 and was
consequently q years old, whereas
she was considerably older, having
given birth to child in 1850, which
il is unreasonable TO suppose she did
at the age of 6 years" If this thing
goes on there is danger that the life of
the female of uncertain age will be-
.eeme wholly a burden.
