An Ungallant Swain,

Allegheny girls seldom get left, but
the following is an exception to the rule:
While. the first half of last evening was
drawing to q close, feminine call for
help was heard by three young ladies
who were crossing Ninth street bridge
to the north side Wis ons of unrequited
love with its inevitable suicide fitted
through their minds, and it was some
time before they discovered a young
lady far below, but not in the water, not
even the appearance of having been
there. She was standing high and dry
on the rip-rap at the base of the middle
pier, and gave the young ladies ON the
bridge to understand that she had been
left there in some manner, and now i'm
plored their aid. Not being experienced
oarswomen they hailed couple of
gentlemen who were passing, and who
fetched the Allegheny girl ashore in a
skiff. She explained first she lived on
Monterey street, and was of good
family. The story which followed was
one of courtship. The young man"
in the case had been Tilted by her some
time ago, but last evening when he
asked her to accompany him and his
two lady friends for boat ride she
went. While coming up under Ninth
street bridge the Tilted lover struck the
current, which he saw was too much for
his ability as a rover, and asked the
young lady from Monterey street 70 star
out on the rip-rap until he tn"'- :, ne otbpy

tn''n another girl, she waited, but the
faithless gallant came not, and the
escape was as above. She felt very
much chagrined, and told her story as
she laughed and cried alternately, but

Potter Palmar's Trntters.

Speaking of horses reminds me of a
story / heard lately of Potter Palmer,
the Chicago millionaire. Palmer is a
native of Greene Co., N. Y, where his
brother Aiken and several members of
Potter's family reside. Aiken is bit
of horseman, in a rustic way. but
knows nothing about thoroughbreds.-
Sometime since Potter spent a few
weeks at Durham. He brought with
him span of splendid trotters from his
Chicago stables, and they were much
admired. A smart young groom look
ed after them and used to drive the fam
lily to church and to the village oceas-
ionally. Aiken fairly itched to get hold
ofthe reins and drive the team, just once
Potter, observing this, warned him, and
said: aiken, you may know a good
deal about country horses, but theses
not quite in your style. Better not
handle them."
One day the family had just returned
from a short drive and the team was
hitched outside in the road, the groom
having gone to the stable for a moment.
Aiken, at the window, saw his oppor-
tunity. He came out, jumped into the
elegant 81, 200 wagon, and confidently
grasped the reins. The finely-trained
animals Immediately responded, and off
they started down the road at rattling
gait. Aiken wasn't used to such accel-
Grated motion, and began pulling; but
the more he pulled the quicker thew
flew. He put his whole strength into i
and pulled for dear life; but the team
only swept on faster. The gait was ter
rliic. As they nesrsd sharp curve in
the road Aiken's heart leaped to his
mouth. In moment more crash,
went the vehicle against high bank of
earth, throwing Aiken out, uniniured.
but smashing the carriage to fiinters.-
The horses stopped as if by electricity,
ana very luckily without a scratch. A
few minutes later Potter, who had OBJ
served his brothers wild freak and had
followed with the groom on horseback,
rode up, He looked an instant at the
wreck. rubbed his chin, and, turning to
his crestfallen brother, slowly inquir-
ed:
SAY, Aiken-could you-tel me
about-what time-you made coming
around that curve?"
Aiken has never touched a thorough
bred sinee.-Neto York Star,

A True Doc Story

The animal in this case is owned by 8
party residing within few rods of this
office, and the facts come directly from
the family. The dog is q white terrier,
of most affectionate disposition, and
when she meets with any stranger to
whom she takes fancy she will 90 tc
him, sit up on her hind legs, and reach
out her fore paws for recognition. A
day or two since boy called at the side
door to beg for something to eat The
dog trotted to the door with the servant,
who told the beggar she had nothing,
''Give me only piece of bread,n said
the boy. The girl answered they were
out of bread, and that she was baking
at that time. Meanwhile the dog was
momentariiy missed, but quickly return
ed bearing in her mouth large piece
of bread that had been previously
thrown to her to eat, She went direct
ly up to the boy, extended her paws
with the bread in her mouth, and offer
ed it to him as intelligently as any mute
being could do. The girl was actually
frightened at this remarkable exhibition
OF intelligence on the part of dumb
animal.-Rochester Union.

a Dangerous Oigar-Lighter.

Street hawkers have lately taken 70
selling magic cigar-lighter,n which
are calculated to do much mischief. AS
any student knows, the affinity of sodi-
um for oxygen is so great that it will
take the coveted element from water
with such rapidity as 70 cause II to burst
into flame. The new lighter is thin
strip of sodium, fragment of which.
when placed on the end of cigar and
touched with water, burns with great
yehemence.
Few of those who buy the little vials
OF lighters are aware what vials of wrath
they may turn out to be if unskillfullv
handled. The burning sodium will
make an ugly wound if it GENES in con-
tact with .ne skin, which is likely TO
happen from the suffering way il has.
A sweaty finger is enough to set the
thing ablaze, or a sweaty pocket, should
the cork of the bottle chance TO come
out. As the lighters are bought chiefly
By the ignorant, who a-e taken by the
seeming miracle of producing fire by the
direct action of water, it is q wonder
that no serious accidents with them

Domestic Recipes.


Whortleberry Pudding.-One quart
of berries, one pint of molasses, one cup
OF milk, a teaspoonful of soda, one
pound and two ounces of flour, one tea
spoonful of cloves, one of cinnamon,
and one nutmeg; boil two and half
hours. Serve with butter sauce.
Corn Cakes.-Take sufficient ears of
corn, slit the hulls through the middle,
and scrape off the cob, pressing with
the fiat of the knife to obtain all the
milky subsistence. add salt, two beaten
eggs, flour enough to make the whole
adhere together; divide into two table,
spoonfuls ON q hot buttered iron grid
die or frying-pan, and cook a light
brown on both sides.
Stewed Kidneys. s.-Trim away the fat,
skin and cut each kidney into thin
slices, put the slices in a stewpan.
dredging them firstwith -four; then put
in two ounces of butter, salt and pep
per; let them stew ten minutes; then
add two glasses of claret and the juice
of lemon. In ten minutes the kidneys
may be served in its sauce with chop
ped parsley.
Bonny -Clabber. dish is in per-
fection in the summer, when milk sours
and thiekens very quickly. 1t should
be very cold when served. A nice way
is to pour the milk before it has thick
ened into glass dish, and when thick
set on ice for an hour or two, and it is
ready to serve, and is really very pref
ty addition to a luncheon or supper-ta-
bic. Serve in dessert-plates with sugar
and cream.
Currant Catsup.-Three pounds sug-
ar, five pounds currants, one table,
spoonful cinnamon, one tablespoonful
cloves, one tablespoonful all-spice, one
teaspoonful each black pepper and salt,
one-half pint vinegar. Stir the currants,
and stain them; then boil all together
fifteen minutes. Grapes and raspber-
ries are good in this way.
Mock Duck.-Take a round steak;
make stuf1ing as for turkey; spread the
stuf1ing on the steak; roll it up and tie
it; roast from half to three-quarters of
an hour.
Potatoes la Lyonnaise- are
much simpler than the name implies.
Rub q lump of good butter over the in
side of clean, smooth, slightly warm
ed skillet, turn in some cold boiling po-
tatoes cut up, add pepper, salt, little
chopped parsley, and perhaps the least
bit of onion very fine. Shake from time
to time, and see that they do not brown.
''Fried white" is the accepted slang in
fashionable hotels for this mvsr..iification
in the art of potato cooking.
Boiling Jccngue.-Wash clean, and
pnt. IN kettle of boiling water. Skim
well at first, and place where it will
slowly but constantly boil. Too rapid
boiling hardens the fibrine. and renders
the meat hard and tasteless, without
really fastening the process of cooking.
A pod of red pepper in the water will
prevent the eunpieasant odor of boiling
from filling the house. Add half pint
OF salt, and keep the tongue covered
with water until done. Boil until it can
be pierced easily with fork, take out,
and if needed for present use take off
the skin and set away to cool; if to be
kept some days do not peel until want
ed for table.

Burney was married early in the
morning, and the happy couple were at
once whirled to the Broad Street sta
ton to take train for New York. Their
tickets were already purchased, and they
passed direct to the cars.
'.Now remember" said Burney, as
he seated his wife, remember that we
are to act as old married people. Don't
forget to growl when sit down."
Burney sat down roughly, but there
was 20 growl.
.Why don't you growl?'' he said.
"Why, dear, / forgot what to say.'
ssHush, not SO loud. Don't, whatever
you do, don't call me dear again
That isn't the language old married
people use when they address each
other"
1t was several minutes before the train
would start, and Burney wanted to
saunter out. into the depot and come
rushing back just as the train was mov-
ing off. But the newly-made bride
wouldn't hear to any such arrangement.
She was afraid that he actually would
get left.
1t wasn't until after the train started
that Burney and his bride showed any
of the actions of old married people
When they did commence, however. in
their zeal to carry out the scheme sue
csssfully they overdid the matter Three
times his wife asked Burney to put up
the window, and three times he gave
| her very surly reply. The last time
1 h1, hot ho hri1a
| ting for an instant that his roughness
was only assumed, allowed the tears to
| spring to her eyes. At this instant q
| gentleman sitting in the opposite seat
arose, stepped over, put up the window,
and then looking Burney fair in the
eyes, he said:
''Sir, you are brute. No man with
the least spark of honor would act to-
wards woman as you have done to the
lady sitting by your side''
Sir" said Burney, springing to his
feet, "who are you addressing?"
Pm addressing you," said the man,
| firmly. ''You are a big mar, sir, but
you are a coward, and if / hear you talk
to your wife again as you have talked,
I'll break your jaw"
Eyes, and we'll help himr' shouted
four men, springing to their feet.
Alarmed at the sensation they had
succeeded in creating, the newly-mar-
ried couple kept remarkably quiet until
| they reached New York. At the hotel
Burney again overshot the mark. His
conduct towards his wife was so sTrly
that he attracted the attention of three
| divorce lawyers. Scenting probable
job, these birds of prey presented their
cards to the bride, and tried to per-
| suade her that she. ought to get adivorce
| at once. The handsome room-clerk also
sympathized deeply with the wife,
Finding her alone, he urged her to get
| rid of ''that brute of husband by
| eloping with him.
The last experience satisfied the pair
| with trying to initiate old married peo-
pie. As quickly as possible they got
away from that hotel, and during the
balance of the trip they allowed the
warm ardor of young lovers to assert it
self, regardless of what the world
might say.-Philadelphta Sunday Mer

Tia MeYican's Game.

A rich merchant of Matamoras, Mex
leo, some little time ago received a
threatening anonymous notice to place
5000 at a spot near his house. On APP
plying to the authorities he was told to
do as requested in the latter and a troop
of soldiers would be sent to watch the
money. His servant slowed the 5000 in
the designated place, and returning
cautiously to watch further proceedings,
was shot dead by the soldiers, whom he
found in the act of dividing the money.
