Brertty Of the English Language.

There are ten words each in the French

1he First HAN.

Some repairs were needed to the en-
CINE when the train reached Reno, and
while most of the passengers were taking
a philosophical view of the delay and
making themselves as comfortable as
possible in the depot, in walked a native
Nevadian, and he was rugged out an I'M
perial style. He wore bearskin coat
and cap, buckskin leggings and mocca-
sins, and in his belt was big knife and
two revolvers. There was lightning in
his eye, destruction in his walk. and as
he sauntered up to the red-hot stove and
scattered tobacco juice over it, a dozen
passengers looked pale with fear.
Among the travellers was car painter
from Jersey City, and after surveying
the native for a moment, he coolly in
quired:
Aren't you afraid you'll fall down
and hurt yourself with those Weapons
"W-what!" gasped the native in as
Onishment.
II suppose they sell such outfits as
you've got on at auction ont here, don {
they2" continued the painter.
'W-what dye mean-who ar ye?"
whispered the native as he walked around
the stove and put on terrible look.

reply, land I mean that, if were you,
I'd crawl out of those old duds, and pat

s'Those rubber garments are such a

brought into street car a perfect deluge
of water. The lady at his right, who
mopped one side of his coat with
her costly dress, agreed with him
perfectly; the man at his left. who
caught about a pint OF drippings IN his
shoe, could scarcely conceal his admlra-
tion; while the young miss to whom the
fat man gallantly offered his seat a few
minutes later, went into perfect eestacles
as she sat down in pool of water left on
the car seat.

A Clowns Trick.

Auriol. the celebrated French clown,
whose death was recorded a short time
since in the columns of the Parisian
press, was a man of remarkable courage,
GOODNESS and ready wit. During one of
his professional tours in Russia he got
into u terrible scrape, from which, how
ever, his presence of mind enabled him
to extricate himself triumphantly. He
had been engaged, while at st. Peters
burg, to perform at private entertain
ment given by a wealthy nobleman resi-
dent in the Basil Island. 1t was in the
depth of winter, and the Neva was frozen
hard. Auriol dressed himself in his
clowns costume at his lodgings, wrapped
himself up in furs, hired q sledge, and
started Tor his destination, instructing
his driver to take the short cut across the
river Probably tempted by AurioPs
costly pelisse. the istvostchik, tall,
powerful fellow, pulled up sudden
ly when about half way across,
jumped down from his perch, and, let
ting fall his reins, turned towards his
fare with menacing gestures. A mo
ment's hesitation would in all likelihood
have cost Auriol his life; but he proved
equal to the emergency. Throwing off
his furs, and revealing himself to his
would be assailant in the motley garb of
his profession, he sprang out of the
sledge and proceeded to execute some of
his most amazing gambols on the ice.
Paralyzed with terror by so terrific an
apparition, the isyostchik made one in
etfectual attempt to cross himself, stag
gered forward and with All agonized cry
of 1.-The fiend himself - fell fiat and
motionless upon his face. Without fur
ther loss OF time Auriol slipped on his
furs, picked up the reins, jumped into
the sledge and drove off, safe and sound, /,
to fulfill his engagement. Next morn
ing the istvostchik's corpse was found,
stiff and stark, lying face downward on
the frozen breast of the Neva.-London

The old Lady and the cObbler.

Some years ago, the husband Of an old lady,
residing in a country village, happened TO die
rather suddenly without a will, for the want OF
which very necessary precaution, his estate
would have passed away from his widow, had
she not resorted 10 the following remarkable ex-
pedient to avert the loss of her property: she
concealed the death of her husbad, and prevailed
upon an old cobbler, her neighbor, who was, IN
person, sonnet what like the deceased, TO go TO Ded
at her house and persOnUte him, in which char-
acter it was agreed that he should dictate VIII,
leaving the widow the estate in question. An
attorney was accordingly sent for TO prepare the
required document, and the widow, on ms arr
val, appeared 10 be realizing the greatest anne
ton at her good mans danger, but forthwith
proceeded TO ask questions of her pretended nus
band, calculated to elicit the answers she expec-
pacted and fdesired. The old cObbler, groaning
aloud, and looking as much like person going
10 give up the ghost as possible, feebly answered
d. intend to leave you half my estate, and
do think the poor old shoemaker, who lives over
the way, is deserving of the other hall, for he
has always been good neighbOr. The widow
was thunderstruck at receiving reply so differ
ent from that which she expected, but dared not
to negative the cobbler's WILL for fear of losing
the whole of the property, while the cunning old
rogue in the bed, who was himself the old shoe
maker living over the way, laughed in his sleeve,
and divided with her the fruits Of project
which the widow had intended TO her own sole
benefit.-EHglish Paper.

The Big Cheese That Was Given to Jefferson.

An old number of Littelrs Liring Age contains
an interesting article of Elihu Burritts from the
GertlemaA's Ma5a-iAe on the great cheese which
the people Of Cheshire, Massachusetts,, made for
Thomas Jefferson. Elder John Leland was q
great pulpit politician in those days, and
preached TO the people of Cheshire such stirring
Jefforsonian Democracy that for generations they
never voted anything but straight Democratic
ticket. When jefferson was chosen President,
after a contest of tremendous excitement, Elder
John Leland proposed that his flock should cele-
brate the victory by making for the Chief Mag
istrate the biggest cheese the world had ever
seen. Every man and woman who owned a COW
was to give for this cheese all the milk yielded
on a certain day-only no Federal COW was to
give drop. A huge cider press was fitted up
to take it in, and on the appointed day the whole
country turned out with pals and tubs of curd,
the men in their Sunday coats and clean shirt
collars. The cheese was put to press with
prayer, and hymn singing, and great solemnity.
When it was well-dried, it weighed 600 pounds
and il could not be trusted on wheels, il waited
till mid-winter when it was placed on sleigh,
and as Elder John Leland drove il all the way to
Washington. There was more snow, you sec,
in those times than there is now.) 1t was q
journey of three weeks. All the country heard
of the big cheese, and came out to look At ii as
the Elder drove along. When he got to WASH
ington, Mr.. Jefferson received him in state, made
a speech, and in the presence of the heads of
departments, foreign ministers, and other distin-
guished persons, cut the cheese and served 1t
around with bread. Then he sent . wedge of it
home to the makers, and when it arrived, they
also ate il in state. We are further informed
that the cheese was very good.

Funeral of Nelson.

The most memorable of all the public specta-
cles of the present century was, without doubt,
the funeral of Nelson, which took place early in
the year lSO6. There are but a few persons
alive now who can have any very distinct reeol-
lections of it, but in years past we have heard it
described in detail, by those who witnessed il,
and who, even after the laDse of an ordinary
lifetime, could not speak of it without emotion.
The solemn ceremony occupied two days, the
first being appropriately devoted to procession
on the Thames, and the second to the slow
march from the Admiralty to st. Paurs. The
body lay in state at Greenwich, and was borne
up the river by the afternoon tide, on funeral
barge, rowed by men of Nelson's own crew, and
attended by fleet of other funeral vessels,
crowded by the chief men of the city, clad in
mourning, the sad train moving to the strains of
solemn mnsic. All traffic on the river had been
stopped for the occasion, but every vessel in the
Pool, and every point of view on either shore,
were thronged with n nations mourners, who,
in speechless silence, watched the passing-by of
all that remained of the inGomitable hero who
had fought for the very existence Of England, at
Trafalgar, and with his dying grasp had crushed
the strength of her enemies. From Whitehall,
on the following day, the dead hero was borne
through the city on q car modelled somewhat in
the fashion of his own ship, the Victory, attend
ed by the sharers in his triumphs and his fame,
followed by the chief persons in the kingdom, OF
nearly every class and degree. Two of the
greatest were, however, unavoidable absent
William Pitt, who was lying on his death-bed,
and Arthur Wellington, who had gone lit was
the only fruitless expedition of his life) up the
Weser with a small British force, with the OBJ
ject of assisting the allies in thwarting the de-
signs of Napoleon in that quarter. At the head
of the company of mourners was the Prince of
Wales and the Lord Mayor, followed by the roy
al brothers, the members of the Cabinet, and the
principal members of both Houses of Parliament.
The chief mourners, however, were the vast null
titude themselves, who, with sad faces and fast
fol
scene The doleful sounds of the Dead March,
and the murmur of the mufiied drums mingling
with the regular tramp of the funeral train,
hardly sufficed to still the lond sobbing of the
people in their passionate regret at the loss Of
their dearly-loyed defender. 1t almost
dark, for the days were then short, when the
procession reached St. Paups and the burial
service had to be performed by lamp-light, for
which due provision had been made by lamps
suspended beneath the dome.-LeisHre Hour.

Curing Hams and Making Sausage.

The Country Gentleman publishes the following
recipe for a solution in which to pickle the fOrm-
er, and also gives directions for making sausage
"For 100 pounds of meat, take seven pounds
of good salt, two and half pounds Of brown su.
gar Tor one quart of molasses), two ounces OF
saltpeter, one ounce of Cayenne pepper, and
two ounces of cloves. Two ounces of black pep
per may also be used, if il is not distasteful tC
those who are to eat the hams. Pepper is used
merely TO prevent the attack of flies. Boil all
the ingredients in sufficient water to cover the
meat when tightly packed in the eask. Skim
and cool before pouring over the meat. The
same ingredients can be used for rubbing the
hams, if this mode is preferred to pickle Fol
rubbing, however, it is better to add another
pound of salt and half pound of sugar to the
above ingredients. This pickle is equally good
for hams, shoulders, cOrned beef and dried beef
When corning beef, the meat should be well
rubbed in salt, and packed closely in n cask two
days before it is picked. THIS extracts the
washed before packing for final picking.
"FOr 100 pounds of sausage meat, take the fol
lowing:
Zone quart of salt, one quart Tor six ounces,
of pulverized sage, and ten ounces of pepper.
"Two pounds of salt, six ounces Of sage, and
ten ounces of black pepper.
''Three pounds of salt, twelve teaspoonsful Of
pepper, and four teacupsful of sage.
''Two and one-half pounds of salt, one and
one-quarter pounds of sage, thirteen ounces Of
pepper, and seven ounces of mustard.
''Two and one half pounds of salt, seven and
One-half ounces of pepper, and one and one-quar
ter pints of sage.
s'Two and one-fourth pounds of salt, ten oun.
ces of sage, five ounces of summer savOry, and
nine ounces of pepper.
1.-TWO and one-half pounds of salt, four ounce,
of sage, six and One-quarter ounces of pepper
five tablespoonfuls of sugar, five ounces of all
spice, and five ounces of ginger.
''Most of the ladies sending these recipes, mix
the ingredients and meat by hand, at sbou
blood-heat. One advises mixing the ingredient,
with the meat while it is being run through tn,
sausage-cutter. Some put them into skins
some use long, narrow muslin bags; and other
pack in pans OF jars, covering with melted lart
to exclude the air."
The mixing by hand can very easily be dis
pensed with. The seasoning may be just as wei
mixed with q fork or spoon before it is ruI
through the cutter, which will mix it again

Milking Bears.

"a friend of ours who has recently returned
from little iaunt in the country, happening to
stay ut the house of an old Methodist Deacon
has handed the following specimen of that
pious gentlemans commentary on a passage in
the Bible. As it is quite equal to anything we
have seen lately, we do not feel disposed to keep
of reading daily chapter from the sacred scrip
lures to the family, and of making q running ex-
temporaneous commentary upon each particular
passage that seemed TO require calculation.
Coming to that part Of the Bible which says,
"Nor these sereR did Mlchd bear unto Major" no
cleared his throat and explained it thus:-
The object of this here passage is to show us
how unfortunate the people used to was in old
times. Then they didn't have no dairys, bet
was obleeged to milk bears, and it took six tn
hold the bear while tother MIXED il, and they
had TO go to Major to git the bears"
