1t is a fact that cotton-seed oil is rapidly
taking the place eff olive oil for all the pur-
poses for which olive oil has always been
used. 1t is also a fact that cotton-seed oil
is fast replacing lard for culinary purposes
and it is, too being extensively used in the
manufacture of oleomargerine and butter
inc. The crude seed oil is refined and pre-
pared specially for these uses, and so excel
lently well does it take the places of lard
and olive oil that it is going into extensive
use. The Brenham Banner, alluding to
poses in which lard is used, the refined
oil is far superior. 1t is purely vegeta-
BILE oil, and is strictly clean, which is
much more than can be said Tor
the so-called lard sold in the south, and an
other apd greater advantage is that it is de-
cidedly cheaper and more healthful. 1t is
destined at 40 very distant day to entirely
the use of lard in the kitchen,
and its manufacture will prove a most inn
portant item in the cotton states. The Ban
nel is informed by several parties who have
tri, refined oil for cooking that they find
il r. superior to lard, and in the future they
will use it in preference" The HERALD is
that none of the grocers in this
city keep the refined cotton-seed

is much cheaper, is a more
delicious shortening and is decidedly
cleaner and healthier. When the old Mosaic
law forbade the eating of swine it was IN
the interest ofhealth and cleanliness, and
the wisdom Of that law is apparent to this
day. There is no animal near so filthy as
the hog. No meat stuiis in common use
contain the germs of disease and death eX-
cept the flesh of the hog which
too oftentimes is filled with
spirals. The refined
cotton seed oil being vegetable is pure and
healthy. 1t can readily be retailed at ten
cents a pound, and one pound of it goes as
far, those who have used it say, as two
and half pounds of lard. This makes it
cheaper by far than lard and this being the
case, if it is also better, or even if it isno
more than equal in excellence to lard for
culinary purposes, it is wisdom and econo-
my for every body to use it. Who of our
grocers will lay in a supply?

will answer Just as we'll Two of her neigh
bOrs paid devoted court TO her, wOoing her
warmly, and each one seemed to share
equally her smiles and her confidence.
Both proposed marriage 10 her and both
were accepted. Jim johnson was seemingly
n more energetic and prompt lover than
his rival Albert williamson, as he had her
TO name the day when she was to make
him Happy by becoming his wife. A few
days ago Johnson went to the county town,
and procuring the marriage license, re-
turned to his home, and hitching up his
wagon, got preacher and repaired TO the
house OF his lnamorata to be Joined in the
bonds of holy wedlock. But when
he reached there, alas and alack

her two nestlinGs, had !lown.
Williamson had somehow gotten wind of
Johnson $ mission to the county site and he
fastened TO the widow TO know from ner
own lips II she was going back on" him.
She told him that she didn't want to do so,
but that he had been so slow she couldn't
wait on him always and had yielded to. Mr..
Johnson's pressing appeals to marry him.
Williamson was equal to the
emergency and took her and her
two children under his care and carried
them at once to the residence of his brother,
not far Off Having reached there he put
the widow and the children into room in
the house, out of sight, and mounted his
brother on guard with double-barrel shot
gun. He then started off post haste to the
county town after license and preacher,
determined to outwit his rival, Johnson, if
strategy, blur and hard riding would avail.

parties, johnson was looking for a lost
bride-elect, said bride-elect being safe UNI

Williamson was making horseilesh suffer in
his efforts to procure a license to marry,

safe in asserting that the two children have

THE HENNEpIN CANAL.

The old subject of the Hennepin canal
has come up again for consideration in the
present congress, and more active efforts
are being made now, 1t appears, than ever
before. 1t is proposed to connect the Mis-
sissippi with the waters of the great lakes
and thus with the Atlantic through the
eastern states. The New York people are
much interested in the scheme and particu-
larly the New York board Of trade and
transportation. CHAIRMAN MILLER, Of the

The HERALD regrets to have to chronicle
this morning a painful accident to Miss
Matte Burford on Tuesday night. She
was at the skating rink where number of
the young people had gathered to enjoy
taking lesson, during which She
lost her balance and fell heavily to
the floor, badly spraining one of
her ankle joints and breaking the small
bone of the leg u few inches above the
ankle. She was at once taken to the resi-
dence Of DR.. Pace, and that gentleman i'm
mediately set and splintered the limb. She
is now at home and doing as well as she
possibly could. This makes the second ac-
cident Of the same kind at the rink, and
this should be q warning to all to be careful
in using the rollers

Solomon Carnihan, unlike the great king
for whom he was named, was not wise on
Tuesday. If he had been, he would have
deposited his money in the safe Of the hotel
where he slept, or III a bank, in which case
he would be somewhat better Off financially
than he is now. He was a guest at the
Pacific house Tuesday night and when he
went to bed he had $S5 in his pockets.
When he awoke, yesterday morning. he
didn't have cent, not even money enough
with which to purchase a matutinal invig-
orator in the shape of a cocktail. Two men
slept in the same room with him, but he
don't know whether they got his money or
not. Solomon is no doubt wiser than he
was before he lost his money, but then he
is poorer; but experience always costs
man something.
