And all my passion lay UNDECIDED,

That was in the play.

And so we fought duel straightway,

And you rushed over, softened newly,
And kissed me, Polly truly, truly,
Was that in the play?

A Successful Quail Eater.

Mr.. Walcott came up smiling yesterday aft.
ernOon to down his last brace of quails. His
fres ened him. In reply to an inquiry as to
his condition, he said: II feel as we'll as when
started in. and dom know but better"
The match, according to Mr.. Case. originated
in this wise: On January 4, three days before
Walcott began his task, a group of horsemen
In Gabe's place were talking about the strong
Course plse Of the conversation Mr. James Moffat
remarked that he could produce man that he
would back to eat a brace of quails day for
thirty consecutive days. Mr. Case said to Mr..
Moffat: How much money will you put up on
your MANI?
II will bet $3.50" replied Mr.. Moffat.
II will take that bet" said Mr.. Case. :. Name
w. S. Walcott is my man.,
"A few days after Walcott began to eat the
birds. the bet between Messrs. Moffat and Case
was increased to $3.50 Q side. Many outside
bets were made on even terms as soon as the
affair became matter of public talk. Mr..
Walcott devoured his brace day without any
apparent trouble until January Il, two weeks
from the start, when Walcptt came up to his
work decidedly unsteady and somewhat demor-
allied Bets were then offered of 800 to $40
hacker became Disguised, and $50 Walcott
says advised him to give up the match. A
gentleman who is said to have been financially
to see Waicott succeed. took hold Of the quail
man. steadied him down to his work, and
coached him to Il final easy victory.
During the last half of the match Mr.. Case
hedged so that he came out nearly even on his
bets. st;ssst.s $50, g.
The quail man seems to be the one who will
make the least out of the venture Gabe said
that he did not see how he could be expected
to give much He had furnished the birds
and trimmings at considerable expense, and
had bet against the man in favor of the Birds
Walcott did not look for anything from his
original hacker. He appeared rather dubious
when questioned as to where his profits came
in. He intimated that some who had bet on
him promised to remember him when they re.
ceiyed their Winnings.-N. u. Sun. y tAsEt

Currency Reform Conference.

WASHINGTON. February9.
The Currency Reform Conference has
sued an ad aress to the country, in which they
define their position with reference to some
of the principal political issues of the time.
The address begins as follows:
.sMonopolistic influence threatens the liberty
of the people. 1t has divided American citi-
zens into classes of rich and poor-those who
and those whose labor pays all taxes and sup
ports all classes. 1t controls the principal
avenues of commerce and travel, and the
transmission of intelligence. It Yields undue
influence over the public press aud elections.
1t corrupts all Legislative Judicial and Ex-
ecntive officers. and, above ALL it initiates and
controls the volume of currency and credits,
which enables it to create panics, destroy
property-yalues,p aralyze business, throw labor
out of employment, and stop the demand for
its productions"
The attention of sail patriotic citizens is
then invited TO statement of principles in
which are advocated the prompt payment of
ment o Of ali Ie Currency Of the guintry such
currency to be legal tender for all dues pub
lie and private; the establishment of a Gov.
strietion Of railroad corporations to fro-
mote the public welfare and prevent them
from becoming oppressive monopoles; the
aetment of laws. compelling, all property to
bear its just port on of the burdens of taxa
ton; the retention of the public domain for
the benefit of actual settlers: economy in
pubic expenditures; honesty in administer
ing the Government: an American civil sery-
ice that will place officials more directly under
the control Of the people, and, finally. purity
of the hallo through laws adding q sf franchise
ment to imprisonment for all who buy or sell
votes or render false returns of elections.
This statement or address contains citations
from Benjamin Franklin, George Washing
ton. Thomas jefferson, Daniel Webster, John

AGRICULTURAL.
Working and Sailing Butter.

A correspondent of the american
CWftrdtOr says: "Great care is neces-
sary in the working of butter. Churn-
ing should cease when the butter is in
small Jumps of the size of pea. Then
draw of the buttermiik, and wash the
butter until the water runs of clear.
In working be careful to avoid bring
ing the mass to a sticky consistency,
by which means the grain or texture
of the butter is destroyed. Instead of
smoothing and patting, if ladle is
used, cut of slices and press them to-
gether. Butter-workers should super
sede the lade and bowl in every tami-
ly where butter is made, since double
the quantity of butter, with greater
ease and in much less time, can be
worked by them; aud it is the highest
economy to save hard labor where -
slight outlay will do it, and yet enable
one to perform the work more effectu-
ally.
"Much has been said about the salt
ing of butter, and we presume that the
old reciepe of all ounce to pound is
still the guide with most, as it proves
the best. Independent of its affects
as a condiment,' said the late Mr.. Mil
lard, salt has two distinct offices to
serve in butter making, viz: t. re-
move butter milk as far as possible
from the pores OF the butter, and to
render innOcuous what cannot thus be
extracted Penetrating the buttermilk,
it converts it into brine, which renders
rancidity almost if not quite impossible.
1t is well to work in about three-quar-
| lers of an ounce of salt when the but
ter is first taken from the churn, and
another quarter say in twenty-tour
hours, or at the last working, and uu-
der no circumstances should anything
different from the best quality of salt
be used"

Keeping a Diary.

III. b. Scovel, Cornwall, writes the
Mirror: Probably there is no duty
so important and none 81 much
neglected as keeping memorandum
OF the transactions of the present.
How comparatively few have other
references than The "ihnk back of oc-
currences." How often we attempt to
bring to mind some transactions of
year ago, or perhaps only n few weeks.
Relying upon no other statistics than
treacherous memory, we fail to obtain
the satisfactory information. From
childhood have been accustomed AT
the close of each day before retiring, TO
place upon my memorandum the oc-
currences OF the past day, aud all i'm
portant items that are worthy of no.
tice. thus atlording complete refer
ence which is priced above remunera-
ton. IL is not only pleasant To recall
the past, but in most Instances great
financial benefit. No society is COM
