Bad Spelling Not Illegal.

The supreme court of Nebraska
recently decided case wherein
bad spelling cut some figure.
The drawee of a draft wrote across
the face OF it these words; "Excep-
ted September 1S, L. B. Maben."
The court holds that this was bad
orthography, but valid accept
ance, saying: ''The evident pur-
pose of Maben in writing the word
excepted was to accept the draft;
and parol proof of this purpose, not
being inconsistent with the writing,
was proper and should have been
received. Had Muben intended
to refuse acceptance it was unn' c.
essary to put such a refusal in
writing, and he no doubt was well
aware of this fact. The INV is no,
a system OF quirks and quibbles
upon which courts may sieze to
defeat rights, but system OF rules
and principles in which the rights
of parties are protected and en-
forced, and it is the duty of a
court to disregard mere pretexts,
and decide case, if possible,
upon the merits"

A Voice From Mexico.

81 come to plead the cause of my
country, Mexico, your next door
neighbor, a sister republic, a land
fair and beautiful and favored of
heaven, but blighted with Romish
superstition, cursed with a false
creed, which was forced upon an I'M
willing people in war and blood. A
country it is, where the devices of
a corrupt priesthood have been sub
stituted for pure and undefled re-
ligion, and the image of Mary has
blotted out the worship of the Christ.
We have grand cathedrals. and hum
dreds of converts and other papal
institutions, but no evangelical Chris
tianity. Only few small chapels
in all the land, where the religion of
Jesus is taught in its purity, and
these, dear America, the gift of your
benefcient missionary societies. While
you rejoice in freedom of worship,
and the right to serve God according
to your conscience just over your
borders, on Mexican soil. the hum
BILE Christian is bounded to his death
by priestly mob. SO near you and
yet so different Our hearts ache
under this bondage, but who shall
help if you withhold? Who shall
break the spell of this enchantress,
who sits enthroned among us, unless
you come to teach our children the
truths of the Gospel? Give to our
people, 1 pray you, the Word of
Life; teach them the doctrines of
that Holy Book which has so long
been sealed to their understanding
then shall Mexico rise up in the judg-
ment and call you blessed"

Little King Wren.

''The wren the wren the king of
birds % little peasant children some
times shout as they see the bright
eyed, firey-tempered, cherry mite,
gaily fitting on timber spray near
their cottage door, and if the pretty
old legend, popular in both Ger
many and Ireland, could be believed,
he is well entitled to his royal title,
which was won by wit rather than
promise. 1t runs thus: All the
birds of the forests and fields once
determined to choose a king to rule
over them and decided that the hon.
or should be conferred upon the one
that could fly highest in the air. A
large assembly of the feathered
tribe gathered to witness the con-
test. A number of candidates en-
tered for the prize, but none stood
much chance beside the majestic
eagle, with his powerful pinions and
untiring strength. The clever little
wren observing this, made up her
small mind to see what strategem
could accomplish, and managing to
evade the hundreds eff eyes on all
sides, just as the wings of the COM
petitors were spread out to start,
hoped unpreceived upon the eagles
back. The great bird never felt the
tiny weight, but scared grandly away
up into the blue ether, soon outstrip-
ping all antagonists. At length, he
began to descend, and then it was
that Master Wren sprang from his
back and, stretching his powers to
the utmost, succeeded in reaching an
extra elevation of some consequence.
The hawks eyes below quickly per-
ceived him, far above any of the
other candidates. How he got there
was mystery, but the fact remain
ed that he had attained the greatest
height; SO he was solemnly proclaim
ed 'sthe king of all BIRDS

At one time, in certain portions of
the Emerald Isle, a favorite manner
of celebrating St. Stephens boxing
dav. the 26th of December, was for
parties of youths, in holiday attire,
to visit the houses Of the gentry,
carving with them wren fastened
to furze bush. At each mansion
one of the company repeated these
lines:
"The wren, the wren, the king of all birds,
Was caught St. Stephens day in the furze;
Although he's little, his family's great,
Then pray, kind gentle folks, give him trate !"
when Immediately the gates flew
open and you may be sure the ''treat"
or sstrate," was quickly forthcoming
and was heartily enjoyed by the at
tendants of the birding king, if not
by his wee majesty himself. This
odd Irish custom was founded on a
trsdition relating to one of those sad
periods in the history of Ireland when
she was struggling in the agonies of
rebellion. A company of royalists,
who had been pressed hard for days
by their enemies, had been in immi-
nent danger and had had no rest for
many nights, at length bivouacked
in secluded valley, which seemed
to offer comparative safety, and has
tened to enjoy a much needed repose.
Soon all lay stretched on the green
turf, in profound slumber, and even
the sentinel after combating for some
time the drowsy god was at last over
come with sleep and sunk down
among the rest. Meanwhile the en-
envy had discovered their retreat and
came stealthily upon them while they
lay as unconscious as dead men.
On, on, they advanced, quietly, eau
tiously, and were within musket
range, when suddenly, little brown
wren who had perched upon drum
tapped three times upon it with his
tiny bill. The sharp, quick sound
close to his ear awoke the sleeping
sentinel, and springing to his feet he
perceived the retreating bird and the
approaching army. Hastily he aroused
his comrades who seized their arms
and, rendered desperate by their
dangerous situation, fought so brave
ly and we'll that they scored splen-
did victory over their foes. So we
see how even so insignificant a thing
as little brown bird can sometimes
affect the fate of nations.

Curing Hams.

If any one has better way we
would like to have it, but this is
good After the hams are cut out let
them drain if there is any blood that
will drop from them, and then mix
fine salt and dry sugar in the proper
ton of two parts salt to one of sugar,
and rub over the feshy portions.
Keep them where they will be cool,
but not freeze. AS fast as the dress
ing melts and soaks in, rub on more.
Small hams can be nicely cured in
this way in ten or twelve days. Very
large hams may be more safe in pick
lie, but they are not used as much as
formerly. After this process they
should be smoked at once, and if all
the various contrivances that have
been used on farms for smoking
hams could be shown together they
would rival the storeroom of the pa
tent office. A common error consists
in trying to do it too quickly another
is getting the meat too near the fire.
Where there is not enough to be done
to make it pay to build a smoke
house, barrel or a hogshead or a
box may be used with the fire in an
old stove if there is length enough of
pipe to let the smoke get cool before
it comes to the meat. A pit may be
made in the ground in which the fire
may be covered to send the smoke
through an underground channel to
the meat. Heating hardens the sur
face so the smoke will not strike in
so well. Keeping a strong smoke
going all the time will make the sur
face too smoky before the interior is
affected. Start a good smoke every
night and morning for a week, and
small hams will be we'll smoked.
