THER1A1NEITEs. Mr.. Wipdsor's club held
its weekly meeting last night, when there
was slig ht change in the programme, Mr..
Lewis Mckenzie acting as clown in place OF
Hobday. Mr.. Windsor discharged some OF
his reserved ammunition, making such "a
speech as could only be tolerated by duped
negroes. 1t proved Mr.. W. to he as ignor-
ant as his hearers, or else that be de-
liberstely misrepresented facts and figures.
'Col." Swadley made speech, and told the
negroes Of what tremendous majority Flr
ginia would give for Blaine, but in his esti-
mates of the vote to be polled, showed about
$4,000 more than the State ever cast.
Swadley is much aggrieved at not getting
up o uniformed club, and doesn't mind what
he saws. Mr.. Mckenzie was much put out
at Swadley's figures, and said he dld not
want the people fooled. He was 80 severe
in his criticisms of Swadley's remarks that
the latter had to interrupt him. MIR. Nc
kenzic, seeing a reporter OF the GAZETTE
at The door, forgot that he was speaking 10
the club and addressed his remarks to him.
The reporter asked if be wanted hlm to re.
ply. Mr.. Mex. became very much excited
and said he did not want the meetings called
negro meetings" and wanted fair reports.
He then in a most unseemly manner, and
in voice tremulous with anger, continued
his remarks to the negroes 10 disconnected
sentences aud in the most incoherent man
ner, while he pranced about the room with
such agility "a would have done credit to a
supple jack. Indeed, if it were not 80 sad 1t
We uld be ridiculous to gee an old man make
such clown of himself Having arrived
at the age approaching second childhood,
when his absence from such meetings, to say
the least, would be more becoming than his
presence, Mr.. Lewis Mckenzie, in the
vain hope of getting petty Office, and know
ing that his chances Of doing 80 through
any reputable source have long since van.

Stupid Women.

Mrs. Lincoln of the Boston Cooking
school, has just issued volume of her
receipts, IN the preface to which she re-
marks that the reader may consider her
unnecessarily minute in her directions,
but that her experience has taught her
that no detail is small enough to be left
unmentioned, and we might well add,
that it is not safe to take even the poss-
ession of common sense for granted. This
may sound trife severe, yet it would
probably be agreed to by anybody who
should take the trouble to visit the cook
ing school, and sit for an hour listening
to Mrs. Lincoln's lecture and 10 the stu
pid and insane questions asked by WELL
dressed and apparently intelligent wo-
men.
1t CHANGED that one afternoon some
wooden spoons, such as Mrs. Lincoln uses
had been ordered by her for various
ladies who had wished 10 buy them. The
spoons were distributed to their va1ous
purchasers and a moment of silent ex-
animation followed, then lady inquired
in distrustful and pleading voice:
"Mrs. Lincoln, could er-I use my spoon
| to-er stir frosting?"
Mrs. Lincoln kindly gave her the re-
quired permission, and she relapsed into
contented silence.
Another pupil was much excited by
/ the fact that when it was desirable to in
crease the heat of the gas range, the jets
in the chandelier were lowered.
"Why," demanded this bewildered fe-
male in an awestruck tone, "why does
she have to fry her croquettes in the
dark" .4 |
SIZE evidently thought the fl ing GRO
quettes to be religious rite which de-
manded dim and M &C light for its
proper pursuance. '.-. 20 -
Yet another itelligent questioner-
but this was the old days of Miss Par
loa-proo .Lnded this conundrum with
all tn gravity which befitted its weight.
"..iss Parloa, my family is so largt
that one loaf of angel cake is not large
enough; now if want to make two loaves
must ! double the quantity of materials?'
These examples are not given as ex.
amples ofignorance of cookery, because
that, of course, is entirely excusable in
ANYBODY who is not obliged to cook, but
it is the lack of simple common-seTsf
which is; 50 remarkable in women Of ii
least ordinary intelligence and of goot
edueation. .'-sa itr;hts t-ei Z

How he was Cured.
Washington Hatchet.

Mr.. Jeriboam Postlethwaite was stuck
on lotteries, and two-thirds of his week
ly savings went to the maintainence of
such institutions. He wos married and
the father of a large family, which he
slowed away in small room over by the
tunnel on the Navy Yard, and, as the
neighbers said, was "as po' as carrion."
Besides being "po'" Jerry was modest
man and always spoke of himself in the
third person.
"Euphemia," said he one morning, ode
ole mans gwine down to de monty
drawin' OBJ de ole Louisianny, an he
specks to ketch dat organizashun TO- q
large sum. Eff you see him a-comin'
home in hack, des take an pitch evy-
think outen de windah, foh he done put
in all he had an is gwine ter sling SIGH a
pile O. style 'roun' heah as II make desc
niggahs so sick dey KANT res"
And he went down to the telegraph
office where the returns from the draw
ings we're coming in and where a knot
of anxious ticket-holders were waiting
for good news.
Presently the returns came in and the
tickets held by Jerry (he had saved up
and was the owner Of two whole tickets
both drew blank. Finally, when the
truth of bis ill-luck had gotten through
HIM, he turned ashen gray with disap-
pointment and then tainted away. Some
of his friends who were there, thinking
he had been sunstruck, procured hack
and took him home.
"Yeh comes de ole man." yelled the
oldest of the Postlethwaits, as the hack
containing Jerry hove in sight; IAN he
done hit 'em dis time shuah."
Whereupon Mrs. p began to break
up the furniture and throw it into the
street. stove pipe, legs of chairs, tin
ware, cradles, washtubs, and boards
Ga! 1t was sad thing, but it cured Jer-
ry ofany future 'blowlngs" of good mon

1a.sn.ied win Her R.ce.

Pittsburg Dispatch: For the last four
years a white woman has been living
with tribe of California Indians. She
is apparently about 30 Of age and has a
very pleasing but dissipated face. She
wears tight-fghting faded morning
wrapper through which the outlines ofa
perfectly modelled figure are discerpjble
She acts in strange, silly manner, but
this may be sscribed to embarrassment
resulting from her singular choice of DO
sitieD. Upon being asked as to what pc
culiar abnormal fascination induced her
to abandon the society and customs of
her kind, she replied that the unkind-
ness and deceit which she encountered
among the white people prompted her
to mingle with race which, ifthey did
not possess the civilization and refine
ment of her own, at least were more
sincere and atfectionate in their nature.

DANGEROUS AT BOTH ENDS.
Killed the Bear, but was Himself Kicked
into Unconcfousness.

Killed the Bear, but was Himself Kicked
into Unconciousness.
One day last week John McCouth of
Bethel, Sullivan county, N. Y, looked
out of his front door and saw big bear
walking leisurely by in the road. Nc
Couth's gun was loaded with bird shot.
He fired both barrels at the bear, which
stopped, looked back at McCouth, and
then proceeded on its journey. Then
McCouth charged his gun with double
load of powder and three bullets. The
next day neighbor of McCouth's saw
the bear, tramping around in his rye
field. He sent his boy out with dog to
drive bruin away. B.. g..
The boy set the dog on the bear, and
it left the field and started back towards
McCouth's. The latter was wedding in
his garden in the afternoon. He heard
a peculiar snort, and looking up, saw
the bear standing a rod or so away, in a
bean patch, watching McCouth's move
ments. The farmer went INTO his house
and brought out his gun. The bear re-
manned paving about in the bean patch.
McCouth fired His wife was looking
on from the door. The bear and Nc
Couth both fell, the bear in its tracks,
and the farmer some feet back of where
he had stood. Neither farmer or bear
made any effort to rise. Mrs. McCouth
ran out to her husband. Blood was
streaming from his nose, and he
was unconscious. She brought him to
by dashing water in his face. The bear
was dead, shot through the lungs. The
rebound of the gun had been SO great,
owing to the heavy charge, that it had
kicked" McCouth into Inconsistencies
and dislocated his shoulder. The bear
was thin, but very large. The skin was
purchased by John Layton, New York
New York drummer, for 50, enough to
pay McCouth's doctor bill.
