BEN BUTLER AND FATHER RYAN.-The
late poet priest of the South frequently told
the following anecdote of his stay in New
Orleans: at was during the wal when Gen.
Butler was in charge of the city. A Catho-
lie soldier in the Union forces there died,
and because some one Numbered no relig-
ious rites were observed at the funeral. 1t
was reported to Butler that Father Ryan
had refused to read the burial service. In
towering rage Butler sent for the priest and
in the most peremptory and offensive way
demanded why he had not given all the
honors of the church to the deceased.
Father Ryan quietly explained the matter,
showing that he was not to blame; that the
fault was due to the comrades of the dead
soldier, and added: ut is, therefore, not
truethat l refused to bury him. Its also not
true that 1 have publicly and repeatedly re"
fused to ~otficiate at the funeral Of any Fed
eral soldier or officer. On the contrary, it is
the reverse of the truth, for, General, it
would give me great pleasure to bury the
whole lot of you!" Buffers stern face re-
Taxed into a grim smile, and from that day
he and Father Ryan had no further trouble
in common.

as to the comparative richness of eggs with
light and those with dark yolks. The lat
ter are better for sponge cake, custards, and
other concoctions in which deep color is
desired, but except in this regard there is
small preference. Chicken tanciers say that
there is more nutriment in eggs produced
by we'll fed fowls than in those laid by
hens which have to pick up an Indifferent
living as best they may. One advantage
eggs possess oyer meat is that no matter
what the hens diet may be they are never
tainted by it. We read of illness and blood
poisoning caused by eating the flesh of i'm
properly fed cattle aud pigs. 1t would
seem as if the hen, in her egg making ca
pacity, assimilated only what is best and
purest in her food.
In the spring of the year, when the sys-
tenn is enfeebled by the facilitating wealth
er that succeeds the swapping bracing cold
of winter, eggs form an especially health
full part of the bill Of fare. Too much meat
is liable to cause bilious affections, and the
fresh fruit and vegetables that would serve
as correctives are not to be procured in
abundance.
There is SO great a variety Of easy and
palatable modes of preparing eggs that it
is odd so many people confine themselves
to the alternative of boiling and frying
them. At this season of the year, when the
cost of eggs rarely exceeds twenty-five cents
a dozen, the housekeeper may ring the
changes upon the different recipes, and by
,judicious managent secure inexpensive and
wholesome breakfast and tea dishes that
will prove sufficiently appetizing to still any
longing for the stereotyped steaks and
chops that are staples on most American
tables.--M Christine Terhome Herrick, on Good
housekeeping.

LIVING WITH TIE HEAD uIGH.-lt is
often aquestion amongst people who are un-
acquainted with the anatomy and physiol-
ogy Of man, whether lying with his head
exalted or even with the body, is most
wholesome. Those who consult their own
ease on the point argue in favor of that
which they prefer. Now, although many
delight in bolstering up theirheads at night,
and sleep soundly without injury, it is, new
ertheless, a dangerous habit. The vessels
through which blood passes from the heart
to the head are always lessened in the cav
tiles when the head is resting in bed higher
than the body; therefore, in all diseases at
tended with fever, the head should be pretty
near on a level with the body; and people
ought to accustom themselves to sleep in
this position to avoid danger.-LLuU's .Jon'-
nat Of Ucdhh.

On THAT "SoUR APPLE TREE."-The
frequent mention recently of the name of
jefferson Davis in connection with his visit
to Georgia, calls to mind a conversation thai
took place last summer in the rooms of the
Century .M1ga=ine. A New Orleans visitor
was there and the members of the staff who
had attended the Exposition the winter be-
fore were eagerly inquiring after Southern
friends and acquaintance. "How is Miss
Davis" "Ahn' said another, ''our ac-
quaintance with the charming Miss Davis
has wrought a change in our musical habits
up here. Our vocal exercise used to be
singing, 'IIang jeff Davis on a sour apple
tree but we don't allow that now"
81 never heard that interesting compost
ton but once" said the Southern visitor,
''and that was in a Paris park, where was
strolling in company with Minnie Davis,
and in going about the grounds we came
upon a party of young Americans somewhat
exhilarated by champagne, who were sing
ing Hang Jeff Davis at the top of their
voices. | think it wa the first time, too,
that Miss Davis ever heard it, and let US
hope that it was the last"

ACYCLONEO OF F%ORTY-FOUR YEARS AGO.
Stories Of the recent cyclone in Ohio are
coming in quite freely, but they do not APP
proach the marvellous stories of the tornado
that swept up the roaring Codorus, in York
county, Pennsylvania, in the spring of 1861.
After the storm we speak Of one farmer
found that his well had been pulled up by
the roots and was found hanging on the
limbs of a white oak tree four miles away.
A cellar belonging to one of his neighbors
was split in two, one half of it being blown
through Il stone quarry and the other half
turned up endwise against a haystack in
the adjoining county. \ flock of geese were
completely stripped of their feathers by the
wind, and a dried apple pie was blown
through the side of a school house, terrify-
ing the teacher and scholars, besides ruin
ing a large map of the grasshopper districts
Of Kansas. a large barn containingthirteen
tons of hay was lifted off its foundation and
carried bodily six miles down the valley,
where it settled down so squarely that the
doors could be opened without prying them.
The wind blew the tail off six Durham
COWS, and a Berkshire pig, weighing POO
pounds, was blown completely through his
skin, the hide remaining in a standing posi-
ton and preserving an expression of natu-
ralness that deceived many visitors. The
boundary lines of several townships were
bent all out of shape, so that they looked
like a curled hair mattress on a hot griddle,
and the air was blown so completely out of
the valley that people had to 60 up on the
hills when they wanted to breathe.-IHHa-

How TO MARK GOoDs.-One of the most
perplexing things a merchant has to deal
with is marking goods. Many short ways
of getting a percentage of profit have been
devised some of them good and others not
so good. A few of the more expeditions
and more convenient of the rules may be
given. Suppose an article is bought by the
dozen and the merchant wants to make
20 per cent. all he has to do is to remove
the decimal point one place to the left.
Suppose brooms are $3.50 a dozen; then %
cents each is the cost with 20 per cent.
added. TO make IS per cent. remove the
point one place to the left and add 1-24.
To 1naEo % nor cont add l.10 itself.

can approximate what is sold in our county,

and 445 barrels of molasses. Is it any Won

would be astounding to our peopleto know
just exactly what they are furnished with
from Western grain and meat houses and
other things which they might raise at

people of that county what has been bought
