mel, intends to write up a history OF
Northwest Kansas which will run as a
serjsl in his paper for about SIX months

We clip from an exchange the follow
ing recipe for making coffee, and hope
that our yonng ladies viii clip it out
and paste it in their bonnets. If there
is any one thing more than another
that cheers the heart of man it is a
good cup of coffee for breakfast; while
on the other hand slush has a tenden-
cy to turn the sunshine Of his better ma
ture into gall;
Buy the best coffee and grind it into
the consistency of ordinary corn meal.
Into q French teapot put an ounce of
coffee for every person One pound of
coffee will make l6 cups and no more.
Have everything clean, and as soon as
the water in the teakettle begins to
boil mOisten the coffee gently, and leave
it TO soak and swell for a few moments
then add a little more water, don't be
IN a hurry; continue to add water until
YOU have obtained not more than a
large cOffeecup full OF the extract. If
carefully done the entire virtue of the
coffee will be in the cUpfull Of liquor at
the end of five minutes. For four per
sons use a quart of pure milk and have
it piping hot; heat the large cups by
pouring into them hot water; now di-
vide the coffee into four cups, each of
which viii be one quarter fun, and fill
with the boiling milk This is pure
breakfast coffee, the coffee of the Gods,
of which no man after drinking would
he so pase as 10 call for a second cup.
Such coffee cannot be had at any restur-
ant in New York He that drinks it
this morning viii be unhappy if he fails
to get It tomorrow morning. But
these instructions must be followed TO
the letter.

DEATH OF w. E. GARRETT. Will
liam E. Garrett, Sr., died Friday in
Philadelphia, of paralysis, at the age of
81. AS manufacturer of Scotch snuff
he was known throughout the whole
country, and the mills of w. E. Garrett
and Sons (of which firm he was the
senior member) situated at Yorklyn,
near Wilmington, are the most impor-
tant in the United States. They were
founded by the grandfather of the de-
ceased and were controlled by his
father and now will be operated by his
sons thus remaining in the family
four generations, and more than a CEN
tury. Mr.. Garrett was born in Phila-
phia and at times in the Summer resid-
ed near Yorklyn.
The failure of Messrs Cowgirl &
Green, druggists of Dover, November
14th, is attributed to the debt incurred
by the senior member two years ago
in building the handsome store now
occupied by him on LoOckerman street
in that town. The building cost $4,000.
The firm was Dissolved, Mr.. Cowgirl re-
tanning the store, but it may be closed
any day by the hand of the sheriff.
Albert Cowgirl has resided in Dover
for fifty years and is one of the best
known business men of the Peninsula.
MIR. Green is young man of fair
capacity and good health and will no
doubt soon recover from this misfor-
tune. Samuel Wharton is assignee for

Marshal Newlin and Deputy Marshal
AinscOw Friday went to Georgetown
to get George Rigers, alias Mulvey, ar
rested by Deputy Marshal N. H.
Hutchins of Dover for selling liquor
without a license. They returned with
the prisoner in the custody of Deputy
Hutchins, and he was locked up at the
police station to await hearing before
5. Redmond Smith, Esq, United States
Commissioner, early this week. Depu-
ty Hutchins went to Easton, Mary
del and points in Maryland Saturday
to summon witnesses. Mr.. Hutchins
has been after his prisoner for long
time. First he arrested him under the
state law, but Judge Fisher was en-
gagged as the prisoners counsel and
secured his release. Soon afterward
Mr.. Hutchins found that he was still
selling liquor, and he notified u. S.
Marshal McMullen. Accordingly a
writ was issued in July, 1888, and
placed in the hands of Deputy Hutch
ins. Ever since that time he has been
on the track of Rigers, who has lead
nOmadic life in different parts of Della
ware, Maryland and New Jersey. A
short time ago the deputy heard that
his game was at MillsborO, and, with
the aid of the sheriff of Sussex county,
he set trap that caught him.

Farming Out the Teams.

On inquirng what farming ont
canal teams" meant, the scribe elected
the following facts, which reveal some
what novel kind of bargain. When the
winter comes on, OF course the canal
men have no use for their toams. They
have no stables in which to keep them,
and it would be cheaper TO XIII them
than to put them ont at livery stable.
So the question what to do with them
until they are needed again i'll the fol-
lowing spring arises. The rich old
farmers round about have broad lands
and plenty of grain and feed. To keep
few mules would be little or no ex-
pense to them, SO they step up and
offer to keep the mules during the win
ter for SO much per week, usuallyea dol
ar head. SO, TO farm one mule ont
from December 1st to May 1st costs 500.
But the canalmen know the farmers
habit of feeding these mules almost
Hothing, and the farmers know that
canal mules, like the long-eared brute
of the circus; have various tricks and
manners and possess almost every
disease common to the genus iacsass.
50 mutual safety bargain is struck,
providing that in csse the self willed
animals shuttle off the mortal coil while
enjoying hospitality analogous to the
humans "boartiing-house hash, all en-
gagements financial end there. Tne
canalman'pays nothing for the wretched
hay and "few-and-far- between ears oi
corn OF. measures Of oats which the
brute has surrounded before his de-
parture and the farmer makes no re-
enumeration for the dead beast. : .Albans
