The GOOSE BONE.
The Greatest of all Weather
Prophets Says a Motley
Winter,
With a Good Deal Of Rain
and Snow and Only a
Few Cold Days.
vENNOR OUTDONE.


Loulsyille Post.l
The readings of the goose bone in
dicate motley winter. There will
be good deal of snow and few cold
days, but no protracted cold weather
In the month of December there will
be no very cold weather. During the
last Of the month there will be few
days when good fires will be cheerful
and overcoats comfortable. 1t will be
an exceedingly disagreeable month for
outdoor work. with snow or rain every
day or two. The probabilities are for
wet, gloomy Christmas.
This kind OF weather will continue
on through January, with few cold
days sandwiched between rain and
snow. About the middle of January
there will be few clear, cold days,
when the mercury will go down below
zero. The 10Th and 10th cf January
will be as cold days as any experienced
in this latitude. The latter part of
the month will be wet and gloomy.
There will be more genuine winter
weather crowded into the little month
yf February than in December and
January, but there will not be any
intense cold. With the exception Of
the few days, about the middle of Jan
uary, it is not likely that the mercury
will go far below zero.
The goose bone has long been an
honored weather prophet. In some Of
the back counties of Kentucky the
farmers make all their arrangements
in accordance with the predictions Of
the goose bone. In some localities tho
goose bone is laid aside. labeled with
the year, and it is said that one old
farmer in Breathitt county has the
bones extending back for more than
forty years, and in all that time it is
asserted that the bone has never been
mistaken in the weather.
To read correctly the winter OF any
year, take the breast bone of a goose
hatched during he preceding spring.
The bone is translucent and it will be
found to be colored and spotted. The
dark color and heavy spots indicate
cold. If the spots are of light shade
and transparent, wet weather, rain or
snow may be looked for.
There are good many people all
over the country who pin their faith
to-the goose bone. Of all the weather
prophets it is the most honored. The
little ground hog disgraced himself
long ago, and now very few people ever
watch Candlemasl Day, and hogs
molts are no longer trusted in A few
years ago, when Tice and all human
prophets predicted the most Sc
we're winter ever known, the goose
bone told of a mild, open winter.
The future unIolled Just as the bone
said it would, and poor cid Tice had to
change his predictions every day. The
goose bone never changes, and never
fails.
The Post reporter has examined
three bones, one from Southeastern
Kentucky, one from. Jefferson county,
and one from La Porte, Ind. They
are identical 10 one another, aud the
reading here given will be found the
same on the breast bone Of any goose
hatohed last spring.
Cut this out, lay it aside for refer
ence, and as you crowd up close to the
fire on the 10th Of January, you will
be convinced of the great unknown
power OF the goose bone.

SILVER SPOONS.
How Ben Butler Acquired His Rep.
utation as a Spoon Stealer.
An Interesting Reminicsencc OF
the reconstruction Period.

N. 0. States, 81
To the end Of his life, and even in
history, Ben Buffers name will be
closely connected with silver spoons
That the average individual fully be.
lieves the cock eyed man from Massa-
chusetts recklessly helped himself to
the spoons of the conquered people Of
New Orleans is moral certainty; but
as the gentleman from Hades has the
reputation Of being painted much
blaeker than he really is, according to
the following story Butler has been
credited with a kleptomaniac trait
which he, perhaps. does not deserve.
The story, as told by an old resident,
runs thus:
THE story that he had helped him
self to silver spoons, and shipped them
away by the boat load, did not originate
until after
BUTLER HAD BEEN RELIEVED
of his command in Louisiana and or
dered to Virginia.
During Buffers reign in Louisiana,
Mr.. David Bidwell, Of the Phoenix
saloon, was not permitted to do busi-
ness, Butler, enormously or otherwise,
suspecting him Of being engaged with
George Gregor, a prominent jewelor of
this city, and James Mcclure, pro-
prietor Of Sans saloon, both deceased.
in fitting out confederate privateers.
when Butler was relieved of his
command here, and Gen. Banks took
charge, the Phenix saloon reopened
its doors, celebrating the occasion by
A MAGNIFICENT CHAMPAGNE LUNCH,
to which the General commanding,
his staff, ard he principal officers Of
the post were invited.
" "llesirlng to in some way manifest
his graft ication at Buffers retirement,
1t was stated at the ime that David
Bidwell employed an Italian vendor Of
Plaster of Paris images to make full
sized image of Benjamin +. Butler.
Behind the bar, on the night Of the
opening, there the image stood, the
belt, pockets, hat, and every available
spot completely covered with spoons.
The spectacle was regarded as a
capital joke and every member of the
company, General Banks included,
laughed heartily at the grotesque ap-
pearance of the late commander.
1T would probably have been con-
sidered merely a joke, and probably
have long since been forgotten, but for
the zeal of patriot named Bell, who,
visiting the provost marshaS preferred
charges against David Bidwell, accus-
ing him Of treating
WITH OFFENSIVE DIsREsPECT
a United States officer.
David Bidwel was arrested and
fined five hundred dollars. The story
got into the papers, spread to the
North, and the charge that Benjamin
f. Butler stole silver spoons was made
and believed throughout the civilized
world, and have told you exactly
how this story originated" "
