A Charivari.

At Mrs. Louisa Jennett's wedding, on
Avenue u and Seventh street, night be-
fore last, while the guests were sitting
Mt the banquet table, which was spread
out in the yard, some boys came along
with tin cans and gave the newly-mar-
ried couple Il charivari. This made the
party very angry, and they telephoned
for the police and then ordered the boys
away. When the police came all the
hoodlums ran away. Willie Hoefgen, Il
neighbours boy, who had been attracted
to the place by the noise, did not run,
and the officer was told to arrest him,
which was done, and he was charged
with being disorderly and was fined So
by the Recorder this morning.

Houses to PatrOnize.



In the year 1869 the Bastie was built
In order TO protect Charles.N against the
incursiOns of the Burgundians. Among
the noted prisoners was the celebrated
Young French physician, DIR. Mannette,
who was called from his home by hired
ruillans who represented that a pCor
woman was bleeding to death but u short
distance away. The young man kissed
his pretty wife, hastily picked up his
case of instruments and departed on his
errand of mercy. The unfortunate man
was thrown intoa lower dungeon of the
Bastile and never saw his loved one
again. He was discovered by the mob
who had broken down the strong doors
and overcome the guards and keepers of
this living tomb in the year l7S0. The
wrecked man had been imprisoned 90
wears when found, and from a young ac-
tive man had become complete human
wreck. As his liberators burst open
the door of his dungeon, the poor man
cried piteously that they should not
murder him, and as they gathered
around him he continually begged them
to go away that he wanted to be left
alone, that the light hurt his eyes. The
Mortified spectators noticed that the
walls were covered with vermin, and In
places red marks which on close scru-
fury proved to be blood. A most horri-
Bile stencil pervaded the place, and they
were hurrying to get out when one OF
them discovered some characters on the
dirt besotted walls. Holding lantern
so that its rays reflected brightly on the
letters, they finally made OUT that Elmer
son sold goods cheaper than any othei
man in San Antonio, and that Emerson'i
was a good place to get money or speno
1t. Good silver watches warranted al
81, SO and 81. Good clocks warranted
from 81 up. Money to loan at low rates
and that was all.

with young man named FAINT out on
the plaza, and was arrested by Officer
smith. lie gave bond and then. accom-
panied by friend, took hack and pro-
ceeded to finish his fun. In crossing
Alamo plaza he thought himself once
more upon his broad, western, free grass
range and gave whoop that should
have aroused all the sleepers in the
Third Ward, and Officer Zenk politely
stepped up and arrested him, and he
was carried to the bat cave second
time and gave bond. This morning he
was charged $40 for his fur, - in each
case.

What to do with Oranges.

An eastern paper gives several uses to
which unmarketable oranges may be put.
They are as follows:
ORANGE EJEILY.-Inqredien pint
of water, one and half to two ounces
isinglass, one-half pound of loaf sugar,
one lemon and about nine oranges. Put
the water into saucepan with the isin-
glass, sugar and the rind of one orange,
and same of half the lemon, and stir
these over the fire until the isinglass is
desolved, and remove the scum; then
add to this the juice of the lemon, and
sufficient juice of the orange to make in
all one pint-from eight to ten oranges
will yield the desired quantity, Stir al
together over the fire until it is just on
the boiling point; skim we'll; then strain
the jelly through sieve or jelly bag, and
when nearly cold put it into a mould
previously wetted, and when quite set,
turn it out on dish and garnish it to
taste. To ensure this jelly being clear,
the orange and lemon juice should be
we'll strained, and the isinglass clarified,
before they are added to the other ingre-
dients, and to heighten the color few
drops of prepared cochineal may be
added.
ORANGE CREAM. = Ingredients = One
ounce of isinglass, six large oranges, one
lemon, sugar to taste, water, one-half
pint of good cream. Squeeze the juice
from the oranges and lemon, strain it
and put it into saucepan with the isin-
glass, add sufficient water to make in all
one and a half pints. Rub the sugar ON
the orange and lemon rinds, add it to
the other ingredients, and boil all togeth-
er for about ten minutes. Strain through
muslin bag, and when cold, beat up

Acorns Dangerous to Live Stock.

We had a note of warning last week in
reference to the danger of allowing live
stock to eat acorns. The Rev. r. S.
Woodgate, Pembury Vicarage, Turn
bridge Wells, writes us as follows: 'This
is great oak country, and the acorns
have fallen under the trees positively in
sheets, and illness and death have been
busy among the cattle. / myself have
lost a valuable Jersey heifer (10months.) }
We did all we could when found out, but
to no good. A flock of sixty-two Down
lambs have been running in my park,
and one has died and three or four more
not expected to live. So sheep suffer
from eating them as well as cattle. All
around me there have been mishaps. The
Hon.. Mr.. Hussey, of Scotney Castle, has
lost one or two, Mr.. Smith, of Colebrook
Park, ditto Mr., Goodwin Smith of Turn
bride Wells, one; and many others
these are all close to my place. Mr..
Noakes, M.R.C.y.S., who is the great
vet. in this country parts, tells me he
has to work nearly all night as well as
all day, and has four horses to carry
him all around the country. This will
show you the acorn scare here is no fan
cy. My churchwarden and chief farmer,
Mr.. Shorter, has just lost fine SOW from
eating horse-chesnuts boy gave her. s"
In addition to the cases mentioned by
Mr.. Woodgate, we observe that eleven
heifers and steers belonging to Mr.. God
ding, of Brimsdale, were turned into the
Savernake Forest, Marlborough, and
seven of them were afterwards found
dead, having, it is supposed, been poison
ed through over-feeding ON acorns. 1t
was feared that others would also die.
Several farmers in the neighborhood of
Romsey have lately had serious losses
through their cattle eating acorns.-Lon-
