HOW u sharp Yankee Got a Ride Free.

They are telling this story about town for a
fact: One day recently young man. while ap-
parently heavy with tanglefoot, presented him.
self toa certain city liveryman and asked for a
team to take ride. ''Never let teams to in
toxicated parties" was the stiff reply. This
blunt rebuff almost sobered the Young man. 1t
also provoked him to anger and he went off into

bargain. said to the purchaser, IF Won brinp

Three days after this, however. there came a
climax: for then it happened that the man re-
turned with the team and demanded that the
stabekeeper lock it over carefully and see if it
wa all right. He did so, and pronounced
everything in perfect order. ''Well give me INV
money and take your team back. then. :" said the
man. The stabieman. who never goes back on

How He Came to be a Whittier.
From the Fulton Patriot


We have frequently noticed newspaper
references to the fact that the Hon. Viii
lard Johnson is nearly always-on the
streets, in the stores, at caucuses, in con-
ventions, when talking politics or en-
gagged in business-whittling a pine
stick. Ii this stick is a small one and
he is away from home, and you suggest
to him that he is liable to get out of tim
Der, he will quietly take from his coat
pocket several sticks that he has provid-
ed for the journey sufficient to supply
him until his return. Mr.. johnson has
whitfield tens of thousands of miles on
railroads, he has whitfield in the state
legislature, on the capitol steps at Wash
ington, in nearly every city in the Unit
ed States and yet there are few who
know how he came to whittle. Mr..
johnson is a nervous, active man. He
does all he does in earnest. Up to the
fall of 1S48 he was an inveterate smoker,
averaging dozen cigars on ordinary
days, bat on occasions when he was
deeply interested in anything, he smoked
from twenty to two dozen cigars daily.
In 164S he supported Gen. Cass for
President. He had been at work during
the entire campaign and when election
night came, beaten, Disguised, worn out
and used up, he vowed never to smoke
again. 1t was easy enough to say he
wouldn't, but not SO easy to quit. But
he stuck to it. Next day be was nearly
crazy for his accustomed stimulant. He
could not eat, sleep, stand still nor sit,
and in his restlessness and uneasiness
he accidentally began to whittle. It oc-
cupied him. It took his attention. It
supplied the place of the cigar and was
such relief to him that ever since he
has kept supply of pine sticks, and for
over 80 years he has Whitfield instead of
smoked. Mr.. johnson is strict tenn
perance man in practice, never using to-
bacco or intoxi eating liquors. This is
extremely rare for man of his wide ac-
quaintance and political influence and
associations and for one who travels
abO1t as much as he

Dogs as Drunkards.

Thefact that even dogs are inclined to
intemperance is unknown to many who
hold them in high estimation but such
is the fact, especially bull and spitz dogs.
Mr.. Sam Wyman, who keeps the saloon
on Ninth and Market, owns large bull
dog who is a confirmed drunkard. He
has gotten so addicted to drinking that
he resorts to all sorts of means to get
beer, and sometimes shows great cum
ming in getting drink of his favorite
beverage. The fact had become gener-
ally known, and yesterday several gen.
tlemen determined to watch him. Every
morning Mr.. Wyman sets his emptied
beer-kegs out on the sidewalk for the col
lector, and leaves the bung out, there
being always more or less beer in the
bottom of each key. AS soon as the
kegs were set down and the proprietor
gone inside the saloon the dog ap-
preached from his post of observation,
and after smelling the kegs with the air
of connoisseur, selected the one which
he seemed to think contained the most
beer, and putting one of his paws against
it pushed the keg over. He then pro-
ceeded to push the keg until it got close
to the edge of the curbstone, and, turn
ing the bung down, got out into the
street, and as the beer ran out eagerly
Tapped it up. This process was repeated
until every key had been drained, and
after licking the edge of the kegs the dog
trotted off, evidently not having gotten
enough. This process the dog repeats
every day, and sometimes more beer is
left in the kegs for his benefit, and he
gets beastly drunk. Drinking, however,
seems to agree with him, as he is very
fat and sleepy-looking.
This instance brings to mind another
case of dog in Indianapolis which was
very much addicted to drinking, The
dog was known as sold Jack, and was
considered a member of the fire depart
ment, as he always staid at the engine
house, and went to every fire, riding in
front of the engine. Next to the engine
house was saloon, where he used to get
beer In the same manner as the dog in
this city, and also used to get drunk.
About year ago he went out one day,
and there happened to be more beer
than usual In the kegs, and he accord
ingly got drunk. While he was drink
ing an alarm was turned in and the en-
CINE passed him. He attempted to Jump
on the seat in front, but was too drunk,
and, falling beneath the wheels, was
crushed to death.

A War Romance.

A large part of the time of congress is
taken up in the consideration of bust
ness I" on the private calendar" This
means private claims and bills. Among
those considered and passed upon, with
in the last few days, was a bill granting
a pension to Mary Wade, of Gettysburg,
Pa. Hereby hangs romance. Mary
who was killed July 3, 1868, as is repre-
sented, by rebel bullet, at Gettysburg,
while engaged in baking bread for the
Union soldiers. The father of Jennie
Wade died lunatic. The mother is old
and poor. The bill proposed to grant a
her pension of So a month. 1t has
been reported favorably to three con-
crosses before this, but for some reason
never passed.

Butter, Cheese and OIL From Cot.

Butter, Cheese and OH From Cot
tom Seed.
From the Baltimore sun,
the cotton boil as brought In from
the field is one-third lint aud twG-thirds
seed. For every bale OF cotton weigh
ing 500 pounds sent to msrket, 1000
pounds OF OF seed were formerly left
about the Clubhouse TO rot, ar at best to
be hauled out over the plantation as q
fertilizer. Ten years ago other use for
1t was scarcely dreamed Of. Now It 10
known to contain large number Of
valuable constituents and new develop.
ments Of its utility are constantly being
brought TO light. A correspondent OF
the Sun shows that in the last two
years over fifty mills have sprung up for
the manipulation Of the seed into the
various products for which there is q
large and increasing demand. A nota-
BILE effect OF the new industry has been
an advance In the price OF cottonseed
within the year past from six to twelve
dollars ton. This meaAs, of course,
for each bale OF cotton an additional
profit TO the planter of six dollars.
From the 1000 pounds of seed, costing
six dollarS, the manufacturer gets about
17a gallons of oil, worth to-day 40 cents
per gallon, while the residnm cake Is
considered more valuable as fertilizer
than the seed from which 1t is made,
The oil has met With strong demand
at Marseilles and Lucca, where skillful
manufacturers have devised refining
processes which convert it into an ar
ticle hardly to be distinguished from
the best olive oil. AS such Ii Is said TO
be largely imported into this country.
There is no reason, OF course, why 1t
should not be used as a substitute for
the French or Italian product II il
shows in use no difference Of taste or
properties, especially as it is much
cheaper. An oleomargarine- using PEG
pie will certainly not object to the pure,
clean product OF the snow-white cotton
boil. The refined oil, under the name
Of cotton butter, is already taking the
place of lard for cooking pl rposeF, &C
cordlng to Jur Southern correspondents
showing, and, from an economical point
of view, with the hsppiest results. The
crude oil sells at440 cents, but the shut
ter is worth over dollar per gallon.
1t is free from the water which forms
part of the weight OF ordinary lard, aad
is consequently, all things considered,
some Sc per cent. cheaper. The butter
made from tho seed accompanying one
bale of cotton Is worth $l6-an almost
net addition TO the value of the cotton
crop. 1t is of interest also. in this con-

A New way OF Preserving Fruit.

A New Way OF Preserving Fruit.
A great deal of fruit is being shipped
east from California. The am cunt is
much larger than at this time
lat year. Among thu shipments
has been carload of assorted fruit, put
up In tue Dietz packing, a recently pat
ebted process. Suisun Republican says
that the preservatiye agent is carbon
izsd wheat bran, SO that it can be ship
ped easy by slow freight, and sold off as
the demand is made for it without be-
ing compelled to sacrifice it for fear of
loss. The carload shipped goes to Phil
adelphia. 1t contains grapes, plume,
peaches, apr cots, etc., and goes as fast
freigh though hereafter 1t is the plan
to ship as slow freight, as it will reduce
charge over ene-halt or from $l,l00 to
5000 car load to New York. Ii fruit
can be packed In this inexpensive man
ner, preserved indefinitely and shipped
anywhere, tie business will develsp.
Fresh peach IS at Christmas and grapes
at midwinter are very allnring, and Mr..
