HAPPY BACHELOR.
The bachelor is feeling good
And deems himself lucky wight;
He saws and splits no kindling wood,
He has no kitchen fire to light.
When day is done his cares are o'er,
and once in bed he takes his ease;
He need not rise to walk the floor
These chilly nights child to please.
For him there are no household cares,
The breakfast bell his slumber breaks
He dresses and descends the stairs
To oatmeal mush and buckwheat cakes
For him life's river smoothly runs,
He's happy, Jolly, and content,
He has no wife and lite ones
On whom his earnings must be spent.
Let him enjoy it while he can;
When age and loneliness shall come
He'll wish he was married man
With sons and daughters, wife and home.

A negro and his family living on
the Decatur division of the Louisville
& Nashville railroad recently attempt
ed one of the most sensational SWIM.
dies of the day. There are ten chill
dren in the family, and the husband
and wife find it hard work to feed so
many mouths. At a family council
it was finally decided that one of the
children should sit down on the rail.
road track and be run over by a pas.
senger train. The parents would then
sue the company for damages, with
which the remaining youngsters could
be fed, clothed and educated. One OF
the boys was so much struck with the
project that he volunteered to sacrifice
himself for the good of the others.
Shortly before the train was due
he took his place on tho track and
waited. The train came laundering
along. The little chap held the fort;
He was true grit until the engine got
within a few feet of him, when he
gave an unearthly yell, and with a
bound into mid-air made tracks. The
authorities Investigated the matter and
the above facts all came out.-Aaanta

The American fisherman who comes
home without fish, or with a string
bought on the market, has probably
paid too little attention to the things
which in other countries are believed
to determine a fsherman's luck.
The Swedish anglers say that if a
woman strides across the rod no trout
will be caught that day. The fisher
men at Preston Pans, if on their way
they meet a pig, at once turn back and
defer their embarkation; the evil bodies
Ill for their fishery. In the Orkneys
fishermen on going to sea would con-
slider themselves exposed to imminent
danger if by accident they turned their
kboat in opposition to the suns course.
It is also thought Il bad omen to turn
the PROV of a boat toward the shore.
EThey believe hal for anyone to say
"Good luck" to them when starting is
ominous; also that pins found in a
church and made in hooks get the best
fish. Tackle, they say, stolen from a
friend or a neighbor, will secure better
fortune than that bought with money
"a species of larceny more profitable
to the fisherman than comfortable to
his friends. The Cornish fishermen
have a superstition that ifa white hare
f~requents the quays at night a storm
will arise. Sneezing, a potent omen
in ancient days,had its portent for good
or evil among seamen A sneeze on
the left side at the moment of embark
ing prognosticated evil, while a for.
tunate sneeze on the right side insured
a favorable voyage.

Tgse Students Laughed.

A writer in the Vossiche Zeituna
gives an anecdote of the famous
Orientalist, Gesenius, which has never
before been published. He announced
a series of lectures toehis class in the
university on the Books of Moses"
His popularity caused'th lecture-room
to be crowded, and when the professor
entered there was not a vacant seat in
the auditorium. Gesenius began, as
usual, with the statement of his theme
in the opening words of the lecture
Gentlemen said he, Genesis is not
SO old as is generally believed In an
instant the. sentence was greeted with
~irrepressible peals Of laughter from
every quarter of the lecture-room; and
the startled professor was unable ia
proceed to his next sentence. 1t is
doubtful whether the old scholar per.
ceiyed the true ground of this odd re.
ception of bis opening statement. The
fact is, the Semitic enthusiast had five
daughters. all of whom were unmarri-
cd; and the students had nicknamed
them after the Eve books Of the Pen.

Too Enfe.


Waat silences we keep year after year,
With thoee who are most near to us and dear;
We live beside each other day by day,
And speak Of myriad things, but seldom say
The full, sweet word that lies just in our reach,
Beneath the commonplace of common speech.
Then out of sight and out of reach they CO.
These close familiar friends, who loved us so;
And, sittiagin the shadow they have left,
Alone, with loneliness. and sore bereft,
We think with vain regret of some fond word
That-once we might hive said and they lave
heard.
For weak and poor the love that we expressed
Now Scents beside fhc vast, sweet unexfressed;
And slight the deeds we did, to those undone,
And'sinall the service spent, to treasure won
And undeservcd the praise, for word and deed
Tint should have overlooked the simple need.
This Is the cruel cross of life. to be
Full yisioned only when the ministry
OF death has been fulfilled, and in the place
Of some dear presence is hut empty space.
What recolleoted services can then
Give consolation for the might have been?

mOD ScOeS,

Almost every day in the early morn
ing a crowd of Cinnamon can be seen
buying fresh pork at the stalls in
Washington Market. The purchases
range from five to fifty pounds in
weight, and are selected with great
care. Yesterday, among the Celestial
buyers the reporter ran across Fang
Low, who is cook and steward for a
large club in Chinatown. In a capar
cious basket, half full of green vegeta-
bles,. Fang had twenty pounds of
"lesh pig"
"Me takee him home. Velly well,
me smoke him." said the bland Orien-
tai. "You come long and see him."
The reporter accompanied him to
his Kitchen. which is ON the second
floor of Ia Mott street. Here Fang
went to work industriously. He
washed the pork thoroughly, and with
a sharp knife removed all the bone,
cartilage and skin. A second and
more energetic washing ensued, after
which the pork was cut into strips
about fourteen inches long, four wide,
and a half inch thick. The strips
were laid in a pan, and W. them was
poured a brown fluid resembling Wor-
cestershire sauce in appearance and
flavor. After a few minutes soaking
in this aromatic bath, each strip was
fastened to ar iron rod by a wire
hook. The rod was then laid across
the open top of a brick oven, sc that
the strips. hung suspended in what
with Americans would be the fire pit.
The top was then closeiy covered with
pine boards. Outside of. the oven, on
a pile of bricks built continuous with
the ash door, Fang then made a very
hot fire with small pieces of dry hick-
DRY wood, The draught, regulated by
/ pieces of iron on either. side of the fire,
carried the flame .andssmoke into the
ash pit and thence through the fire pit
into the chimney. In tho bottom OF
the ash pit was a pan which received
the melted fat from the strips of pork.
Make fire 2elly hot. pig cook quick
and alice fat hnn out said Fang.
."Makee little fire, pig cook velly slow
thlee hour, and fat no lun out"
The reporter tasted of. two pieces.
One which had been quickly cooked
was crisp. and in favor half way be-
tween we'll roasted chicken and a
thoroughly cooked tenderloin. The
dther, which had been cooked, three
1ours, was almost like first class En-
bslish breakfast bacon. The flavor of
the sauce and OF. the hickory smoke,
however, made both different from
anything he had ever tasted. y !

4 Pennsylrnnia Romance.

In the Spring Of 1862 very hand
some and attractive young lady from
Philadelphia came to my Office with a
note from a friend asking me to assist
her in obtaining an interview with the
President. Some time before she had
been married to a young man who was
a lieutenant in q Pennsylvania regi-
ment. lie had been compelled to leave
her the day after the wedding to re-
join his command in the Army Of the
Potomac. After some time he OBJ
tanned leave of absence, returned to
Philadelphia. and started on a brief
honeymoon journey with his bride. A
movement Of the army being immi-
nent the War Department issued a
peremptory order requiring all absent
officers to rejoin their regiments oa a
certain day, on penalty Of dismissal in
case of disobedience. The bride and
groom, away on. their hurried wedding,
tour. failed to see the order. aud on
their returnhe was met by a notice of
his dismissal FROM the service. The
young fellow was. completely.prostrat-
ed by the disgrace, and his wife hur-
ried to Washington to get him re-
stored. I obtained for her an inter-
view with the President. She told her
story with simple and pathetic elo-
auence, and wound up by. saying:
"Mr. Lincoln, won't you help us? /
promise you. If you will restore him,
he viii be faithful.to his duty" The
President had listened to her with evil
dent sympathy and a half amused
smile at her earnestness, and as SIZE
closed her appeal he said. with paren-
tai kindness: "And you say, my Child.
that Fred was compelled to leave you
the day after the w%eddinga Poor fell
low, / don't wonder at his anxiety to
get back, and il he stayed alittle long
or than he ought to- .have done we'll
havetoseyerlook his fault this time.
Take this card to the Secretary of.
War and he will restore your husband"
She went to the War Department. saw
the Secretary, who rebuked her for
troubling the President and dismissed
her somewhat eurtly. AS it happened,
on her way down the War Depart
ment stairs, her hopes chilled by the
Secretary's abrupt manner, she met the
President ascending. He recognized
her, and with q pleasant smile said,
.Well. my dear, have you seen the
Secretary r Yes, Mr.. Lincoln she
replied. sand he seemed very angry
with me for going TO you. Won't you
speak to him for me?" .Give your
self no trouble" said he. 81 will see
thatLhe order is issued.' And in d
few days her husband was remanded
tohis regiment.
! am sorry TO add that not long after
he was killed at the battle of Gettys-
burg. thus sealing with his blood her
pledge that he should be faithful to
his duty.-PhaadeIpbia Press.

On last Friday after last weeks G>zETTE
was off the press a row started about two
o'clock in the afternoon, in Whitehoru'S
saloon on Second street. 1t seems that 4
lot of fellows had got too much drink and
Sid Moore and Nick Baesen got to abusing
each other which led to blows in which
Moore finally went TO striking Baeson with
a cane, the two were finally parted, when
soon after Moore, and John Mensinger got
into words which was soon followed by
blows in which Moore was knocked down and
Mensinger climbed on top of HIM and began
directing some blows with his fist. At
about this time, the bar tender, 10. McTim-
mons, came around the end of the bar with
revolver III hand and began shooting; one
ball struck Baesen above the lower part Of
the breast bone and was taken out by the
physicians near the top of the hip bone.
They supposed the bullet h I'D struck rib
and followed the inside of the rib bone
around to where it WAS taken from. An
other ball struck John messenger in the
jaw near the lower part Of the ear, on the
J
ner of the mouth two balls str2ck the back
of his head and glancing on the skull
went through his hat one ball struck some
thing and glanced going through and lodg
ing in James Taylors vest who had come
iuto the saloon after the fracus started to
part the beligerent parties. One ball glanced
and went across the street into Mentgom-
erY's livery stable where it struck Sheriff
Joe Henkle, Of Crook county. and dropped
down to his feet doing him no particular
harm. McTimmons was examined on
last Tuesday before Justice Quivey and
bound over to await the action of the Grand
Jury in the sum OF $1,000, which bail he bad
not gwen at last accounts. The row will
cost the tax payers Of Benton County fine
lot of money showing the benefit to commu-
nifty derived from saloons and the retailing
of liquors.
