Why He Married Her.

Several years ago l was in Sioux City, Iowa, where a funny incident came to my notice. There was a simple minded fellow who did chores for John Mcdonald, tile Sheriff, and the boys were continu. ally teasing him about getting mar ried. One morning he fired up and told them that he could get marr,ed as well as any of them. The next day he was mi ssing. He had gone to Elk Point, a village i'll Dakota, and when he returned he brought wife that was wonderful to behold. She looked as though she had been through a railroad smash-up. cyclone, and an earth quake. We all went down to his mothers to see the finn. and fun it was. She raised q terrible row.
 "What did you want to marry that crippled thing for! She's got false teeth, hain't shew the old lady screamed.

4 printer recently walked into a certain business house on his rounds to learn who desired any thing in the way of advertisements, and noticed that a Hummer stood by the counter with his sample valises ready to open. "Anything you want to say in the paper this week. said the printer to the man behind the counter. ''No," said the business man. II don't believe in advertis. Ing. 1 wouldn't give cent for all the advertising!' The drummer waited until the printer was half way to the door, and then slowly taking up his sample valises, re. marked.

Angry Bees.

A correspondent in Longnlan's Maya
zine gives the following incide Mt show
ing the dislike which bees have to bad
perfumery. He says:
Some years ago there was in my faith
er's garden plat of early potatoes, some
distance in front of a spot where stood
several hives. Early IN the season the
''rooksn commenced to help themselves
to the potatoes, grubbing the young tu-
bers out of the ground and doing so
much mischief that some had to be shot,
and the dead body of one was impaled
in the middle of the plat as warning
and example to the rest Soon after this
a most unaccountable fury took posses
sion of the bees. No one dared to APP
proach them, fer they attacked and in
stantly put to flight every person or ami
NAL which ventured into the garden.
This went on for some days with most
unpleasant results. and the bees were
fast becoming a nuisance in the neigh
borhood, when the mystery was accden.

"SWift Ocean VOYAGES. ;,

There is a good deal of humbug about
the so-called swift passages of ocean
steamers across the Atlantic. In the
whole history of ocean travel less than
dozen passages have been made under
seven days, and those were between New
York and Queenstown only. Now
Queenstown is something of sail dis
tant from Liverpool, the real end of the
voyage. The very least time required
for the passage between New York and
Liverpool is seven days, to accomplish
which requires the consumption of 150
to 200 tons of coal day, instead of sew
enty to ninety, when not running for
buncombe. Some careful statistician
has worked out the fact that at least 2, 500
trips are made by passenger steamers
annually across the Atlantic, not ten of
which are accomplished in seven days,
and not fifty of them in eight days.
Most of the voyages between New York
and Liverpool, or Glasgow, Plymouth
and Havre Chose being the four nearest
points of actual de3tinat on) occupy nine
or ten days. But Sandy Hook isn't New
York, nor is the sighting horizon of
Queenstown the end of the voyage, by a
very respectable minority. We have
lately done a good deal of Growing
about our phenomenally fast trips, but
thirty-three years ago the Collins
steamer Baltic ran from Liverpool to New
York in nine days and three hours. De

Beef Tea and Terrapin.

James Wormley, the noted negro
caterer Of Washington, who died q few
months ago, left fortune of more than
800, 600, which he made in keeping
hotel. Mr.. Wormley had a patent
method of making beef tea, and he pre-
pared much of the last food eaten by
Charles Sumner, President Lincoln and
President Garfield. During Garfeld's
last days he used to take this beef tea
every morning from his hotel to the
White House, and Garfield relished it
when he could eat nothing else. 1t was
made by broiling the tenderloin of a
porterhouse steak. and while the meat
was yet smoking, putting it into an iron
receiver heated for the purpose. A
crank was then turned which brought
hundreds of pounds of pressure on the
steaming steak causing every particle
of its juice to stream forth. A little
seasoning and the tea was ready. There
was no water about it, and it was the
pure juice of the beef. Mr.. Wormley also
made chicken broth for Garfield, and the
chickens used came from his own farm
near this city. His hotel was high
priced one, and his dinners on special
occasions cost as high as 800 plate,
He was especially noted as terrapin
cook, and he considered cooking such an
art that he sent his son, who now man
ages the hotel, to Paris to take lessons of
the noted cooks there.
Wormley was the first to introduce the
terrapin into England. He took them
with him when he went along with
Reverdy johnson. who was the Ameri-
can ambassador, as cook to the legation.
1t is said that the terrapin did more to
accomplish the ends of the United States
than all of the speeches.
The best terrapin in the world, by the
way, is found right on the Potomac, anG
this to such an extent that the Washing
ton terrapin is fast getting cosmopolitan
reputation. The foreign legations eat a
good many of them, and diamond back
terrapin has become as essentially an ele.
ment of court dinner as the roast beef anC
fish 1t is a rich mans dish, however,
for the smallest terrapin, properly gotteI
up, will cost you 81. 1t will take two
good sized terrapin to make a dinner fol
twelve persons, and the additional ex
pense would be about $40. Tom BayarC
has a national reputation as a terrapil
cook. And it is said he always fixes tn
dish in the kitchen before he dresses t.

WISE WORDS.

Character is the diamond that scratches
every other stone.
If thou desirest to be borne with, thou
must also bear with others.
Good thoughts are no better than good
dreams, unless they are executed.
A lovely life beheld and loved is worth
a thousand sermons that are only heard.
He travels safely, and not unpleasantly,
who is guarded by poverty and guided
by love.
In condemning the vanity of women,
men complain of the fire they themselves
have kindled.
1t is only when one is thoroughly true
that there can be purity aud freedom.
Falsehood always avenges itself.
1t is in the determination to obey the
Truth and to follow wherever she may
lead that the genuine love of truth con-
sists.
Do not let the evening of life be less
joyous than the morning. The freshness
of the morning gave you vigor to work
for all time, and the quiet of the evening
should give you peace to go through all
eternity.
The evident consequences of crime
long survive its commission, and, like
the ghost of the murdered, forever
haunt the steps of the malefactor, while
the paths of virtue, though seldom those
of worldly greatness, are always those Of
pleasantness and peace.
We should carefully cultivate the habit
of active attention on which all the
higher qualities of mind depend; the
difference of the intellect in man depends
more upon the early cultivation of this
habit OF attention than upon any great
disparity between the powers of one in
dividual and another.

Tho Worlds Champion.

Mr.. Edward Hanlan, the great oars
man, and until his recent contest with
Beach in Australia, the champion of the
world, may certainly be looked upon as
an authority in everything affecting ath-
letic sports. Before leaving Australia
for this country, he wrote letter in
which he stated that he had used st.
Jacobs oil with the most beneficial re-
suits. He found it reliable remedy for
muscular pains in the arms and limbs,
and from his personal experience took
great pleasure in recommending it. No
stronger proof Of the truth of what is
claimed for ST. Jacobs Oil could be fur
nshed than this, and it will undoubt-
edly carry great weight with all thought
full and intelligent people.
