A Poets View of Oabbages.


George NJ. White. in Harpers Magazine.
The old fashioned New England beverage
cider was mentioned, and Mr.. Whittier stat
ed that he had once derived much benefit
when unwell. "when nothing tasted good"
from the use Of cider. Huntington suggest
ed that without cider We should not have
vinegar We'll" said Whittier, vinegar
Is not of much use, after all" Except"
replied Huntington, ITO eat on cabbage and
cucumbers." ''Nelther of which are fit to
be eaten,' remarked the poet. II think it
would be good idea to start prohibition
party on those two articles. As for cabbage
ii is not fit to be eaten; if YOU cook 1t in the
house, you have got to burn your house
down afterward to get rid Of the smell ii is
certainly the most dabolical smell that was
ever invented" ana Whittier, who Was sit
ting near the open stove CRATE, upon the top
of which he had deposited his tall hat. fold
ed his hands and laughed a hearty silent
laugh. What do YOU think of onions, Mr.
Whittier ?" asked |. "Wcll," he replied,
"onions are not quite so bad, for YOU can
get rid of the smell of those in three or four
days Then" said Huntington, 'you
would not approve Of the old fashioned
boiled cinner?" No. | think that is a
detestable dish. remember that my father
used to have it, in which cabbage, onions,
heets potatoes, tarnips and carrots were all
boiled up together, and turned out into
dish all IN heap, with great greasy piece
Of meat in the middle | think that is the
reason why the present generation is not so
strong as the former 1t is OWING to the way
the parents lived, eating much pork and
potatoes. Our last war showed that The
farmers were not nearly strong as the men
recruited in the clties-Portland, Ports
mouth and Boston. But the people in the
cities do not have the free air we get in
the country" said Huntington II know
that" replied Whittier; ''but they live bet
ter, and that makes great difference"

funny under the most distressing cir

IN the of Mr. Frank Hatton, Assistant

MS destination, he found that his pants had
been stolen. The passengers were getting
of the car, and all sympathzed with Hat

blanket around him, took feather duster

laughed except the car porter, who turned

The sweetest and most signal revenge
to infict upon enemies who seek to belittle
our labors or under estimate our abilities is
to do everything we'll, to lead irreproachable
lives, to earn popular confidence and respect,
to eschew all but laudable undertakings. to
succeed in every act and labor. Success is
the most effectual reproach to envy, malice
and unfriendlinees.

FRTGHTFUL DEATH. The Dixon Tribune
Of July Goth furnishes the following
Thursday evening about 4 P. n. William
Vaughn, farmer living about seven miles
east of Dixon, was attacked and bitten by
savage boar, and died from the effects of
the wounds in less than ten hours. TIE
particulars, so far az we are able to learn
them, are about as follows Mr. Vaughn
and the hired man were engaged in choring
around the barn. On the premises there
was sly, in which were confined several
hogs, among them a young boar, three
years old, monster in size, and having
tusks of immense proportions. Mr.. Vaughn
entered the sty with the intention of clean
ing out the troughs, and while so engaged
was suddenly and Unexpectedly attacked
by the boar. He was knocked down, but
quickly recovered his feet, without so far
sustaining any serious damage but before
he could escape the now thoroughly infu-
rated boar struck him on the thigh His
tusks penetrated on opposite sides of the
leg, and mangled the flesh in horrible
manner. The wounds bled profusely, but
MIR. Vaughn still retained sufficient pres.
ence of mind to compress the ruptured
blood vessels with his hands until he could
reach the house Physicians were imme-
diately summoned, who at once secured
both ends of the severed artery and checked
arterial hemorrhage. The unfortunate man
was by this time greatly exhausted, and
sank into an apparent slumber, from which
ne never awakened. Mr.. Vaughn was a
native of Vermont, and probably about 30
years of age. He was a quiet, industrious
citizen, and highly esteemed by wide
circle OF friends and acquaintance. Being
5 member in good standing OF the A. o. U.
W, his widow is entitled to and doubtless
will receive the amount Of his insurance,
s., 600.

A Test OF PRoNUNCIATIoN.- fol-
lowing rather curious piece of composition
was recently placed upon the blackboard
at a Teachers Institute. and prize OF
Webster's Dictionary offered to any person
who could read it and pronounce every
word correctly. The book was not carried
off, however, as twelve was the lowest
number of mistakes in pronunciation
made: " a sacrilegious son of Belial, who
suffered from bronchitis, having exhausted
his finances, in order to make good the
deficit resolved to ally himself to comely,
lenient and docile young lady Of the Malay
or Caucasian race. He accordingly pur-
chased calliope and coral necklace Of a
chameleon hue, and, securing suite OF
rooms at principal hotel, he engaged the
head waiter as his ooadjutor. He then dis
patched a letter of the most unexceptional
caligraphy extant, inviting the young lady
to S matinee. She revolted at the idea,
refused TO consider herself sacrihcable to
his desires, ard sent 8 polite note OF re.
fusal, on receiving which he procured a
carbine and bowie. knife, ssid that he
would not now forge letters hymeneal with
the Queen, went TO an isolated spot, sew
cred bis jugular vein and discharged the
contents of the carbine into his abdomen.
The debris was removed by the Coroner" "
TIE mistakes in pronunciation were made
on the following words: Sacrilegious,

felt, comedy, Ienient, docile, Malay, CALI

ABOUT A "BLooMING BRIDE.-There
is a bit of history associated with the
given name of Adjutant. General Drums
daughter, now the wife of Lieutenant
Henry J. Hunt, of Arctic fame, which has
ding cards. They bore the name Bios
som" by which the young lady has always
been known, whereas she was christened
plain Henrietta Margaret" At the
breaking out OF the war General Drum
was stationed in California, and was an in
tense Union man. Mrs. Drum was a
Southern lady, and all her family, except
Judge Morgan, who is now Minister TO
Mexico, entered the Confederate service.
1t was one of the trying cases where fami-
lies were divided in arms against each
other. Mrs. Drum was never heard to
murmur, however, trusting the cause which
her husband believed was right. In 1862,
the young lady, who has reigned belle
here for the last two winters, was born,
and, being fair, was called by her mothers
friends Cotton Blossom" The idea
seemed more significant than at first, when
it was made to refer to the little lady's
fair skin, and they took advantage of it to
make hit at the Generals stanch Union
ism. California did not lack fer Southern
sympathizars, who could not understand
why General Drum should not resign his
commission, like so many other West
Pointers, and go with the South, to which
he was so closely attached by family re-
lationship. In this mood they sent large
numbers of presents of silver cups, gold
spoons, and other souvenirs, al inscribed
cotton Blossom" So the girl grew up
sturdy Union girl, and the name OF
Blossom chung to her until, ripening to
fascinating belle, thu term did not seem
out Of place long after its origin was for
gotten.-[WashiDgton letter to Pittsburg

How "JoHN" IS KEPT OUr.-The
Olympia CW. IT, Courier says:
There are now less than II coo China.
men in British Columbia, and the number
is increasing fully 100 per month by the
arrival of ship loads in Victoria. These
are scattered out along the Canadian Rail
road, among the fisheries and in the numer-
ous smaller places in British Columbia.
Hundreds of these are all the time watch
ing for chances to get into this country.
They come across straits in small boats
and canoes and land in Clallsm and Jeffer.
son counties, and also come by the same
means to the San Juan Islands and into
Whatcom county. There are nine different
routes across the border by which they are
all the time coming in or attempting to do
go. They go inland to the Columbia river
and come in down that river by scores,
and as the Canadian Pacific works eastward
other avenues for their ingress to for
hidden territory will be opened. The
Courier calls for the appointment of addi.
tional inspectors to guard the gulf islands
and the boundary line.

RAISING Coon SToCK.-The Woodland
Narl of July 10Th has the following:
Mr. Watkins yesterday sold sc sheep to
Mr.. Munson. They were of the Spanish
and French Aerino blood. They were pur-
chased for the purpose of taking them to
Texas. Mr.. Billiard sold to the same gen.
tleman a car load of the pure Merino, for
which price was paid largely in advance
of those sold by Mr.. Watkins. Yolo has
q reputation for fine sheep, and people
come here from great distances to pnr-
chase. It costs no more to raise good stock
than poor, and when it is ready for the
market a good article always brings re-
munerative prices. No one can afford TO
raise any but the best, and eur farmers are
enterprising enough to see this. We COM
mend them for it. In this transaction
there was probably 5000 left in Yolo
county to these two gentlemen. Mr.. Wat
kins has also purchased pure Merino
buck for which he paid fancy price.
