DR.. Calhoun'S Love OF Postum.

Somehow or other all these great men
had their pccnliaritics about what they
wanted to cat. There was Mr.. Calhoun,
who always had his 'posSum and sweet
potatoes when he could get them. lie
used to say to me: Now. Steve, you
get me n nice Fat 'possum, cook it the
day after it is killed, parboil it, then put
it III Il hot oven with boiled yam pota-
toes laid around it in the oven and then
let it slowly brown. If you can get n
coon, Steve, you make plenty. of coon
gravy, very brown. and pour it over the
'possum, and don't you fail to have the
'possum well favored with pepper, salt
and sage Well, sir, you just ought to
see Mr.. Calhoun sit down to a dish of
'possum with coon gravy. He wasn't n
big man, but he was mighty thin, and
there was plenty Of room about his vest,
he would make that 'possum very sick
before he got through with it. Hc used
to say that it reminded him Of old
South Carolina to eat 'possum, and that's
the reason he liked it so we'll. Many n
time he's told me about going out pos
sum hunting at night with colorrd boys
and dogs and an axe, freeing the 'possum,
cutting the tree down and roasting the
'possum before a log fire.

How to Prevent Fires.

The following simple precautions.
suggested by the New York Indepcnd-
ent, if strictly followed, would prevent
a great many destructive fires. The
rules might be posted in every store,
dwelling and factory with good results !:
Always buy the best quality Of oil.
Never make q sudden motion with a
lamp, either in lifting it up or setting it
down.
Never place a lamp on the edgo of a
table or mantel.
Never fill a lamp after dark, even if
you should have to go without a light.
See that the lamp wicks are always
clean and that they work freely in the
tube.
Never blow out a lamp from the top.
Never take a lamp to a closet where
there arc clothes. If necessary to go to
tho closet, place the light at a distance.
Use candles just rs much as possible
in going about the house and in bed
rooms. They are cheaper, CAM explode,
and for very many purposes are jus. as
good az lamps.
Matches should always DO kept in
earthen jars or in tin.
They should Lever be left where rats
or mice can get hold Of them. There is
nothing moro to the tate Of n rat than
PHOSPHORUS. They will cat it if they
can get at it. a bunch Of matches il
almost certain to be set on fire if a rat
gets ut it.
Have good safes in every place where
matches are to be used, and never let a
match be left on the floor.
Never let a match go out of your hand
after lighting it until you are sure the
fire is out, and then it is better to put it
in n stove or an carthcn dish.
1t is far better to use tho safety match
cs. which can Only be lighted :pon the
box which contains them.
Never put my hot ashes or coal in a
woo'ici. r-'' ptI"'r>.

The Wonderful Pueblo Of Ancient
Acomn.

uSolo IA f1uCIS:IlI
Acomn.
(Lettcr to the Lawrence, Kan, Journal.)
SANTA FE, New MEXICO, October "a.
The pueblo Of Acoma, situated 90
miles west Of Albuquerque, is one Of the
most remarkable communities in New
Mexico or the United States. TO reach
it take the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad
to Mccarthy station, and then transfer
to an Indian pony and ride IS miles
South by East. When near your jour
ncy's end you descend almost impcr-
ccptihly into the valley six miles in
width, in the middle Of which stands a
butte, and on the top of this is Aco,na.
Eight hundred people are living there,
and they and their ancestors have gath
cred there the sum Of their possessions
for hcarly three centuries. This butte
is one Of many that are the remnants of
a mesa that has been worn away by the
erosion Of tho ages, and survives ONLY in
f%at-toppcd mountains here and there.
The valleys between arc fertile, and un-
told generations Of men have seen them
covered with waving grain and ftocks Of
sheep.
Some time in the seventeenth century
the Laguno or valley Indians made war
upon the Acomas for the possession of
the country, and the latter being the
weaker occupied this butte as a defcn-
sive position believed to be i~mprcgnable.
Their judgment has been abundantly
vindicated. 1t has proved q Gibraltar of
strength and safety. The comparison is
not inappropriate, and in approaching it
from the North l was struck with the
resemblance to the pictures I hayc seen
OF that grim fortress that frowns over
the straits to the Mediterranean. The
height above tho valley is nearly 400
feet and the walls in several places near
ly perpendicular. There arc two means
of ascent, n by n flight Of steps cut
into the face Of the wall and rising at an
angle OF 45 degrees, and the othor by q
assure in the rocks leading up into the
heart Of the mountain. Both ways have
been trodden by human feet until the
steps arc followed out like shallow
troughs. Either oxe is exceedingly diff
fcult and neither is tolcrably sare. We
chose the one along the ~fissure. To give
IN idea Of the righteousness Of the task,
imagine a stairway starting at Mr.. Gros-
venor's Office and rising to the top Of the
spire Of the Methodist Church, then con-
tinuing IN IN easier angle for one hun
dred feet land then rising again by a
sleeper grade than ever to an elevation
higher than the weather vane on the
university, and this stairway precario.s
footing along the sides Of n cash in n
rugged mountain, and you may &now
! how We reached Acoma! With all the

The interview lasted for about fifteen
minutes, when the Court took a recess
until 3 o'clock. The respective counsel
are all very reticcnt as to the nature or
object OF the interview. 1t is supposed
that the hope Of some sort Of ompro-
mise prompted counsel to suggest the
conference. At all events the trial of
the case went on and Col. Rion was re-
called.
Witness then read aloud the letter
supposed to have been written by Mrs.
Mcdaniel and pointed out the different
expressions contained therein, which
induced him to believe that it had been
written by Mrs. Mcdaniel while suffer-
ing from nymphomania. He next COM
pared the disputed letters with others
that were acknowledged to be genuine,
and explained to the jury The different
points Of similarity between them.
Witness holding up the disputed letter,
then said "1f this is n forgery it Ger
tainly may be characterized as miracu-
LOUIS" Ec then examined the letter
through his double magnityinS glass
and said 81 am more convinced than
ever that she wrote this letter."
Upon the cross-cSanination the wit
ness was asked when he first saw this
disputed letter. He replied: "Last
Saturday, and that is the time 1 ran
from the Court house to avoid tcstifyine
in tho case"
In answer to f. question he said
"Thc letter ~purporting to come from m
injured wife and the letter enclosed in
it are not in the same handwriting. The
letter from the injured wife has tecn al
tered in order to make it correspond

VIM. II. Lilies was the last witness
put up by the defence. The witness
simply stated that the Church had new
or preferred any charges against Mrs.
Mcdaniel. lie was not allowed to state
the reasons for doing so.
The defence here closed. 1t is UNDER
TODD that tomorrow the plaintiffs will
introduce evidence in rebuttal.
The trial will run a couple of days
longer.
