OLD Mr.. P had been, after a
fashion, a Baptist preacher for fifty
years. He was quite proud of a
claim he frequently made from the
pulpit that In his line he was the
oldest in the State. There was but
one man who disputed this claim,
and thus Mr.. P was accustomed
to dispose of him. One Sunday,
bringing as usual into the sermon
his favorite parenthesis, he spoke
about as follows: Brethren and
sisters, I've been preachin' this
blessed Gospel for fifty years, the
second Sunday o. last Jinuary.
am the oldest preacher in the State.
Now old Brother j, Ive heerd,
been a-disputin' me on that pint,
and say he's the oldest. Now, my
brethren and sisters, Brother j
amt 'zactly countin' far. Brother
j haze been standin' in the
pulpit tor fifty-t,oo year; it's fact,
and Pm not a-goin' to deny it;
but"-then the old man smiled in
manner that, though mild, was
most decided-"brethren and sis
ters, the first four year O. that
preachin' o. Brother j he acere q
Methodis', and i count that no
preachin' at all; and accordin' to
my calkilation that fetches him
down to forty-eight year, jes two
year behind me-"
The same parsOn was sometimes
quite pointed in his rebukes for dis
orderly department in church.
One Sunday a young lady in the
congregation had changed her seat
several times during the delivery of
the sermon. AS she was about talk
inn yet another seat, he said to her:
"That'll do, my darter, set down
now, and keep still fur the balance
o. the sermint. Everybody done
seed yota nel0 cdIliker .frock."
Onanother occasion he thus began
his discourse, after having chosen a
simple text: swell, to-day, my
brethren and sisters, Pm goin' to
preach a little different from COM
mon. I've been a-preachin' big
theological sarmints fur some time,
but to-day I'm goin' to preach jes a
common plain sarmint--one that
the a0innai'ag and niggers can under
Sta7l'."

How to Cook Rice.

Rice is becoming a much more
popular article of food than hereto
fore. 1t is frequently substituted
for potatoes at the chief meal of the
day, being more nutritious and
much more easily digested. AT its
present cost, it is relatively cheaper
than potatoes, oatmeal or grain-grits
of any kind. In preparing it only
just enough cold water should be
poured on to prevent the rice from
burning at the bottom of the pot,
which should have a clOse-fitting
cover, and with a moderate fire the
rice is steamed rather than boiled
until it is nearly done; then the
cover is taken off, the surplus steam
and moisture allowed to escape, and
the rico turns out mass of snow
white kernels, each separate from
the other, and AS much superior to
the usual soggy mass, as q fine
mealy potato is superior to the wa
ter soaked article.

How Indians Farm

A gentleman just up from Stand
ing Rock agency said the Indians
were engaged in planting. In an
sWer to an inquiry as to how the
reds were progressing in the peace
full ways of grangering, he smiled
and said their manner was odd.
Every year they seem to know less
about how to farm. This is attrib-
utabIe to the fact that they are learn
ing the ways of the whites too rap
idly. They begin to understand
that as soon as they can grow crops
their ratiOns will be cut off, and
hence their growing ignorance of
agriculture. Ii they are given a
bushel of beans to plant, they will
eat nine-tenths of the amount and
plant one-tenth, and the one-tenth
will be dumped in three or four
holes in the ground. Last spring
they were furnished with five bush
els of onion seeds. They couldn't
eat them, and consequently planted
the entire five bushels on a piece OF
ground fifty by one hundred feet.
They were too lazy to prepare a
larger patch; besides it would have
been contrary to their policy of
maintaining the ration system.
When the onions came up it was a
curious sight to see the young stink
ers crowd each other. The whole
dry, naked surface of the ground
was raised up on top of the sprOut-
ing plants. 1t is our informant's
opinion that the present generation
of Iniuns will not make successful
grangers.

The Plug Hat In Wyoming.
pill Nve.


Perhaps no evidence of an ad-
vanced superiority has been receiv-
ed in Wyoming with more marked
GOODNESS and disfavor than the plug
hat. This intolerance Is not easily
accounted for, but there are several
causes which may indirectly touch
upon the subject under discussion.
In the first place, the climate of
Wyoming is not congenial to the
plug hat. You may wear one at l
o'clock with impunity, if you can
dodge the viligance committee, and
at three minutes past /, little cats
paw of wind will come signing from
the Snowy range that makes the
cellars and drive wells tremble and
the hat looks like a frightened pick
ct fence.
1t is not pleasant for strangers to
wear plug hat in Wyoming, be-
cause the police and other officers of
the law look upon him with suspi-
cion, but he can wear out this feel
ing if he leads an upright life. The
climate, however, is something that
he cannot wear out. You can wear
hole in your pantaloons if you
wish, or you can dress up in a pair
of chapparejos and a yellow necktie,
without attracting much attention,
but when you put on a plug hat the
hoodlum and the elements are
against you.
We wore a plug hat here one
whole day once. 1t was not a very
large or heavy hat, but before night
it seemed to weigh ton, and it felt
as large as bass drum.
The air of Wyoming, when it is
pretty well, will wear out a plug
hat in about two hours, and leave it
looking like joint of iron stove
pipe. When the atmosphere is full
of geological specimens and blossom
rock and deceased tom cats, it is not
good time to wear the plug hat.
AT the first sigh of the wind the hat
gets fuzzy like the corset of Dum-
BILE bee. Then some more little
zephyrs come along from the same
beds of violets on Vinegar Hill, and
after that man has followed his hat
for fifteen or twenty miles as the
crow flies, he picks it out of a bunch
of sage brush and it is as bald head
ed as a door-knob.
In former years they used to hang
man who wore plug hat west of
the Missouri, but after awhile they
found that it was more cruel and
horrible punishment to let him wear
it and chase it over the foothills
when the frolicksome breeze caught
it up and toyed with it and lammed
it against the broad brow of the
Laramie Peak.
An old hunter was out among the
Black Hills east of town last sum-
mer, hunting for cotton tails and
sage hens, and he run across little
gulch where the abrupt rocks closed
together and formed a little atmos-
pheric eddy, so to speak. There in
that lonely reservoir he found what
he at first considered a petrified hat
store. 1t was genuine deposit of
escaped straw hats and plug hats
that the frolicksome zephyrs had
caught up and carried for ten miles
until this natural hat rack had re-
ceived them. OF course there were
other articles of apparel and debili-
tated umbrellas, but the deposit
seemed to assay mostly hats.
Time may at last overcome the
public disfavor, but until the Rocky
Mountain wind is lulled to repose
so that plug hat will not have to
be tied on with wrought iron stair
rod, the soft hat will be the prevail
ing style of roof.

THE leaders of the party which is
a settlement of the State

THE leaders of the party which Is
opposing settlement of the State
debt must have been, we believe,
unanimous In their expression of a
pious determination to pay the
whole of the so-called State debt
proper dollar for dollar, and many
of them have recently averred a
willingness to settle the railroad
debt so-called, at the rate of 90 cents
in the dollar. Our no-credit friends
who insist upon paying the State
debt proper dollar for dollar, have,
it seems, deluded themselves with
the belief that that part of the debt
was only about 81, 100000. Mr..
Cooper in his able speech in the
House of Representatives in support
of the settlement bill, takes the
ground that the so-called State debt
proper now amounts to about S.
100000, and he defies a successful
contradiction of the statement. He
shows by the report made by
Comptroller Dunlap to the Legisla-
ture in 1861, that at that time the
debt now held sacred by our Low
tax friends amounted to So, 924 ,606.-
Sc, bearing a yearly interest of
$214, 1875, and that in 1866 this sa-
cred debt with accrued interest was
funded at 81, 1888, ,461.66 He further
more maintains that not a solitary
dollar of these bonds has been paid
by the State and that after deduct
ing the interest paid, the estate
debt proper" which the LOw-tax
leaders insist upon paying in full,
amounts to about One-third of the
whole State debt.
Now, if Mr.. Cooper's statement is
correct-and he invites the most
searching investigation-it will be
seen that those who have been so
anxious to pay the estate debt
proper" in full will save money for
the State by acquiescing in the set
tlement just passed by the Legisla-
ture. Granting that they are sincere
in their desire to settle the Estate
debt proper" dollar for dollar, and
in their expressed willingness to
settle the railroad debt, so called, as
high as 80 cents in an emergency,
the settlement on their basis would
result in a funded debt of about
SIS, 100000, whereas the amount of
the debt settled in accordance with
the law just passed will be only
about $16,S00,000, a saving, it will
be seen, of nearly $4,000, 900, effected
by respecting the law. Since the
holders of the bonds included in the
alleged sacred fund have voluntari--
ly announced their willingness to
accept 60 cents in the dollar, it
would seem supererrogation of hon
esty to insist upon paying the
IS, 800, 900 in full, especially in view
of the fact that after some more
years of fruitless agitation we might
have to settle theremaining SIS, ,2O0,-
900 on the same terms.-Mat1JTeeS-
6OrO WelUS.

expression sweetly utter: YOU'D

ing your conversation in a lower

A sWfE7lY BEAUTIFUL POEM.

Who wrote the following exquisite lineG
we do not know, but whoever Cid need neve
write anything else to convince the worlt
tenderest thoughts in the language. w,
think we have never read anything SO de
iciously, so entirely beautiful:
"I am weary of the garden,
Said the Rose;
For the winter winds are signing,
All my playmates round me dying,
And my leaves Will soon be lying
Meath the SHOWS.
"But hear my Mistress coming,
Said the Rose;
She will take me to her chamber,
Where the honeysuckles clambe@
And III bloom there all December
Spite of SHOWS.
"Sweeter fell her lily finger,
Than the Bee!
All, how feebly / resisted,
Smoothed my thorns and cen assisted,
AS all blushing was twisted
Ofmy tree.
"And she fixed me in hel bosom,
Like q star;
And flashed there all the morning,
Jasmine, honeysuckle scorning,
Parasites forever fawn1ng
That they are.
"And when evening came she sat me
And 1 felt her red lips settle
On my leaves till each proud petal
Touched her face.
"And shone about her slumber
And said, instead of weeping,
In the garden vigil keeping,
Here I'll watch. my mistress sleeping
Every night.
"But whenmorning with its sunbeams
Softly Shone,
In the mirror where she braided
Her brown hair, saw how jaded,
Old and eolorless and faded,
l had grown.
"Not a drop of dew was on me,
Never one;
For my leaves no odor started,
All nay perfume had departed,
lay pale and broken-hearted
In the sun.
"Still said, her smile is better
Than the rain;
Though my fragrance may fOrsake me,
To her bosom she will take me,
And with crimson kisses make me
Young again.
$50 she took me-gazed a second
Half q sigh
Then, alas! can hearts so hardena
Without ever asking pardon,
Threw me back into the garden,
There to die.
"The jealous garden gloried
In my fall
How the honeysuckles child me,
How the sneering jasmines bid me
Light the long grass that hid me
Like pail.
"There lay beneath her window
In q SwOon,
Till the earth worm DER me trailing,
Woke me just at twilight falling,
AS the whip-poor-will was mailing
To the moon.
"But hear the storm winds stirring
In their lair,
And know they soon will lift me
In their giant arms and sift me
In the ashes as they drift me
Through the air.
$50, I pray them in their mercy
Just to take
From my heart of hearts, or near it,
The last living leaf and bear it
To her feet, and bid her wear it
For my sake"

the cares of maternity and the house

the frail constitutions which have been
granted the majority of women. To
combat this tendency to premature
decline, no remedy in the world pos
