The Heaviest Papers Won.

The exciting time over the offices to be given out by President Garfield, re- minds Washington correspondent of an incident that occurred in Lincoln's time. There was great row over the Post-ofice in Dayton, Ohio. Two Hot spurs were in the field. Petition after petition in favor of one or the other poured in upon the President, and dele gation after delegation hastened to Washington to argue the case. MT. Lincoln was long-sufering man, but his patience gave out at last. He could not determine that one applicant was in the slightest degree more compe- tent or more patriotic or better SUD- ported than the other. Finally, after being bored by a fresh delegation, he said to his Secretary "This matter has got to end somewhere. Bring me pair of scales" The scales were brought. ''Now put in all the peti- tions and letters in favor of one man and see how much they weigh, and then weigh the other fellows pile." It was found that one bundle was three quarters of a pound heavier than the other. "Make out an appointment at once. for the man who has the heaviest papers," said MT. Lincoln, and it was done.

Nearly Shot Away.

Gen. Gordon, United States Senator from Georgia, was badly wounded at the battle of Antietam. He says "I pretty nearly came to my end there, and Mrs. Gordon was very close to being widow. I was shot through the calf of the leg early in the day, and, al- though it did not pain me, it gave me the impression of having torn my whole leg off my body, such was the shock. Then I got hole further up the leg, and was next shot in the arm, and then nearly had my shoulder torn off. I felt as if I had gone to pieces then, and thought they were putting it altogether rather hard on me when got this ball in my face, and it broke me all up, and came out below my ear--and that was the last knew for some time." Mrs. Gordon was at Winchester when the General was brought there from the battlefield. She says: "The doctors told me must be very cautious and not disturb his nerves. When knocked at the door of his room in Winchester, his voice came up just as naturally as I ever heard it, crying: Come in.' l opened the door, and there he lay, with his leg trussed up, and his arm trussed up, and his face perfect mass of blood, bruises and distortion. 'Ha! Ina Mollie, he said, here is your hand some man; do look at him l he has been to an Irish fair. :"

The Walters Revenge.

The dining room was full and the walters were hurried, and as usual the man who eats with a steel fork and has mush for breakfast and trump steak and boiled potatoes for dinner when he is home, wanted everything in the house and wanted it right away. He bullied the waiter and snarled and sniffed and scolded and made everybody uncomfor- table about him. At last, after devour- ing dinner for three, he pushed back his chair, tossed the napkin on the floor to indicate his gentility and great wealth and remarking, with aristocratic haugh- tiness that he couldn't eat any more of that stuff, strode away.
 "Bother an unpleasant customer, '" Siddons remarked, sympathetically, to the badgered waiter, who was gathering up the great mans dishes.
 The waiter looked up with the fire of revenge glittering in his eyes.
 .'Oh, dat's all right, sah," he said, meekly, "he didn't get much ahead of me, sah. I done spit in his tea, sah. D
 "Brethren," said the fat passenger, solemnly, "be very careful how you cuss the waiter. "-Hawkeye.

A Rejected Suitor's Ruse.

Panama, Chautauqua county, N. J., is excited over the marriage of 8 well known couple, the children of wealthy people. The girl was engaged to be married on the 27th instant to an esti- mable young gentleman. At party given one day last week rejected suitor, who appeared to take his rejec- tion with perfect coolness and good nature, asked the young lady to re- hearse the marriage ceremony with him, in order that she, might be we'll posted when the time came for giving her hand to his friendly rival. A minister who was present was asked to assist in the rehearsal, and the girl iokingly con- sented. The marriage service was gone through, the proper responses made by the principals in the presence of Q crowd of amused spectators, and the pair were pronounced man and wife Gin jest) by the minister. Then the fun began. The young man claimed that he was lawfully married and acknowledged the ruse he had resorted to to get his bride. The minister saw the rart he had been unwittingly made to perform, and had to acknowledge that, in the eyes of the law, it was legitimate marriage. The girl was frantic when she realized the full extent of the joke. She refuses to live with him.

Spring Soup.

Spring soup should be made study, says Amelia Lewis. The fault in ordi- nary soup making lies mostly in the long cooking and in using old stale or pieces stewed up. No meat, having once been cooked, will ever make good soup, for it cannot yield the very quail ties which soup should possess. This can only be done by fresh meat. Use but little bone for your soup, and com- bine piece of beef and veal, or mutton and beef, or mutton and veal. If you take bone, do not let it simmer longer than an hour, or it will make the soup greasy and give it a fiat taste, whatever you may flavor it with.
 How to Make Spring Soups.-Cut up your meat fine, place it in the saucepan with warm water, add peppercorns, salt, and little whole mace, and let simmer for half an hour. Add small cut turnip and carrot and one leek with a piece or two of outside celery, cut up small Simmer one hour more. Prepare yer micella or tapioca in 8 small saucepan ready for putting into the soup. Hav- ing we'll pressed out the meat and vege- tables, pass the soup through close cullender or sieve, and put it back into the saucepan, having also first skinned it of fat. Heat a piece of sugar in an iron spoon over the fire, and dip it into the soup to color it, then add the thick ening, whatever it may be, and a little very fine chopped parsley.

THE LIME-KILN CLUB.
Brother Gardner Discourses of the |
 Goody-Good Man.

"Doan' be too good" said the old coat-tails. "I advise you to be good, but not goody-good. When 8 man reaches sartin line of goodness he will have de respect an esteem of all who meet him; orfuns will bless him an widders will pray for him. When he crosses ober dat line he will weep fur de poo wid one hand an lend money at fifteen per cent. wid de odder. He will shed tears fur his naybur's woes, but leave six inches of snow on his sidewalk fur de public to wade frew. His chin will quiver when he speaks of de poo heather in Africa, but his own boys will play base ball in de alley on Sunday. He will weep ober de need of more orfun asylums, but he won't put down shillin' in money. He will talk charity by de hour, and charge boy fifty cents for breakin' two shillin' pane of glass. doan' want muffin to do wid too good man. When I know man to be wicked know how to take him. When I know him to be 8 goody- good man my only safety am to let him alone. When you meet man who am distressed ober de gineral wickedness of de world doan' you lend him any money widout good security. When you meet man who says ah' an 'um,' an rubs his hands together an rolls up his eyes, doan' challenge him to trade horses. Find me man who weeps bekase de world hain't better an I will show you 8 man who makes his own home unhappy.
 "It am de belief of man who has put in sixty-two y'ars of life on dis planet dat it am wuss to be too good dan it am to be too wicked. De law will soon get hold of de too wicked, but de too good can't be cotched. My sort of good man am one who respects de church but am not card away wid it, who will give dollars to his poor nayburs but not cent to de heathen, who neber sees de need of reform widout reformin' his own habits to begin wid, who borrows money in business way an lends money on de same plan, who speaks well of religion, but who hates de hypocrits. Gin me man who pays his debts, speaks the truf in his dealins, lets whisky alone, uses his family right an takes de side of de old an poo and de young an weak in de battle of life, an I doan keer what his religious faith am, or whether he has any at all. He's de man to tie to, an if he doan' reach Heaben all odder sorts O men will stan 8 mighty slim show. "-M. Quad.

Unclaimed Money in England.

Some time ago Alfred H. 0. Prudence, of St. Louis, took up the business of an agent for the recovery of money lying unclaimed in England. He published hand-bill in which he referred to many well-known St. Louis and En- glish firms and to the Bank of England, in which latter institution he stated that he had long been employed.
 The Department of State has pub- lished letter from MT. s. O. Gray, Chief Accountant of the bank, to MT. J. Mann, the American Vice. Consul General in England, in which the former states that Prudence had no authority to refer to the bank, as he had been dis missed therefrom several years since. Speaking of the d-bill, MT. Gray says:
 "From the terms of the notice which was received from an apparently poor woman in Cornell, County of Living stone, H., it would seem that these notices are being extensively circulated in the United States, and this supposi- tion is confirmed by the fact that there has recently been marked increase in the previously large number of ground less applications for unclaimed moneys received by the bank from the United States. Nearly the whole of these ap- ,plications are, so far as the bank is concerned, based on erroneous data, obtained probably from very old lists of unclaimed dividends which referred to funds long since reclaimed, or from the advertisements that appear when reclaims are made"

Getting up a Scare.

Every evening for six consecutive days Madrid was kept in state of alarm by explosions of petards. Some were fired in the busiest streets, others in the doors of churches and theatres, causing breakage of glass and some. burns. No offenders were caught, though the po- lice and detectives were trebled after dusk. It is supposed that the keepers of gambling houses created this scare as 8 mark of their displeasure against the civil Governor, who continues his active repression of gambling, seizing house or two every day. Ladies hardly dare go out on foot in the evening. In one night five petards were fired.
