IAak Nice On Table.

Twice a YEAR Old Thomas had either
q peacock or q peahen on his table.
The peacock was served usually in
January and the peahen in July. The
former made q grand appearance, be-
ing brought to the table with his gor-
geous tail feathers spread, which, how
ever, were removed before it was
carved; but the peahen Of which / par
took was served without her train, Of
which she had been deprived while be-
ing shut up and fattened. The meat
tastes much like turkey, should be
stuffed with a similar dressing and
basted with plenty of butter while
cooking. Old Sally used to lard the
breast, as it's flesh is rather dry, and,
just before serving it, poured into the
body, from the neck, equal quantities
of port wine and strong beef gravy
mixed with a teacupful Of enrrant jelly

The Sparks-DeAhna Case.

| WASHINGTON, May 12.-In the Police
Court this morning the case of Commission
er Sparks of the General Land Office charg
ed with personal assault upon Col. De-
Alma, timber Inspector of that Office, came
up for trial. The Commissioner was pres
ent with his counsel, w. w. Wiltshire Col.
onel DeAhna was the first witness and re-
peated on the stand substantially the &C.
count of the assault already published as
coming from him. He said the Commission
er twisted his fingers in his (DeAhna's) COL
lar and tried to strangle him. He offered
no resistance On being asked if he had
not been violent in his conduct the witness
impetuously exclaimed: $50 help me God
did not say word for twenty minutes. l
am not such fool as to fight my superior
officer when want him to fix up my &C.
counts"
Mr.. McManes, who was an eye witness of
the scene, said that DeAhna before the in
terview told Harrison that he (DeAhna)
Was chock full Of dynamite. When the
commissioner turned towards DeAhna and
asked him his business DeAhna began to
complain of his treatment in very Often
slve manner. When he said he had been
treated like dog the Commissioner
said: 81 have not treated you like dog"
De Alma continued his offensive manner
and the Commissioner ordered him out,
rising at the same time. De Alma grasped
his cane aud motioned him back. The Com.
missioner grasped him by the lapel of his
coat. when Harrison came forward and
quietly requested De Alma to go ut,which
he did De Ahna's language was exceed
ingly offensive. The Commissioner after
asking the complainant to leave, did not
offer to use any more force than was neces-
sary TO put him out. De Alma did not say
he would not 20 out, and did not strike the
Commissioner with his stick.
Commissioner Sparks took the stand and
said he asked De Alma whether he could
do anything for him, and De Alma com.
menced to fire off" abusing the division
chiefs aud saying he had been treated like
damned dog. Witness mildly denied the
charge and De Alma repeated it. Witness
ordered him out and believed he returned
an offensive answer. He was ordered out
three times, and witness then got up and
went toward him, his object being to put
him out. De Alma said, Don't touch me
don't lay your hands on me-" De Anna
jerked back, when Harrison said something
to him and he went out. Witness had no
illfeeling toward the complainant, and had
no thought of striking him.
De Alma again took the stapd and said
the Commissioners testimony was incor.
rect, for he strove to convey the impressir
that he was the mildest man on Gods o AZ
