Office business, and remained until
this afternoon, when he left for his
home at Albion. When he came here
he did not intend 70 even claim his
seat in the Council, to which he WAS
elected As . joint member from Cas-
sia, Bear Lake, aud Oneida counties;
but after meeting number Of his
friends, and ascertaining that the fight
against him Was based solely on the
false accusation that he 10 In sym.

considered his decision, and 10 now

The hue and cry against Mr.. Lam

tina. he never WAS in Bear Lake

clining tho nomination, which he sent

the ballots for the two counties named,
he left the place of Councilman blank

Food in Confederate War Times.
 Where bacon, cornmeal, sorghum, rice and COW peas formed the only supplies for the table, problem was presented to kousekeep- CTS as to the means of providing appetizing and attractive meals. Cornmeal was made up in every conceivable form, but batter bread seemed to be the favorite compound. Cow peas and rice were mixed when cooked and called sTom and Jerry.n Confederate fruit cake was made of flour, if one could procure it-meal, if not-sorghum and minced dried apples. "Jeff Davis" pies, a mixture of sorghum and eggs, were quite popular, and fig, peach, quince, pear, plum, apple and citrop preserves were made with sorghum. Indeed sorghum reigned supreme, and in many cases those who cultivated it realized from s2, 900 to S3,O00 per acre Confederate money) from its sale. It was very sweet and sticky continent, and I regret to state that never hear any mention of tho Confed eracy but straightway springs up ill my mind very vivid recollection of that black, cloying and lilly refined molasses. Parched rye and "goobersr peanuts) were used by some for coffee, but sweet potatoes, cut in cubes, dried in the oven and then ground, seemed to be regarded with the highest favor as substitute Dried raspberry leaves were used for tea.
 Wheat became so scarce that biscuit, lighl bread and cake made from flour were es- teemed the greatest delicacies, and for a time, near the close of the war, flour was so rare in my section that the only dish we could devise for my invalid mother was a 'spanada," :" made of hard tack liar inferior in quality to that of the northern soldieryl, softened with boiling water and sweetened with morsel of our small and precious store of sugar. This small quantity of sugar and a pound of tea my father found great diff culty in procuring, anu for them he paid the sum of S15O-Jennie $. Judson.

The Power of a Mascot.

"A remarkable faith is felt by some people in the power of a mascot, and believe for Q season or two back baseball players have outranked the world in the variety and in tensity of belief in them" said a recently re- turned player. "Now, a horseshoe has always been considered sure winner; and when we were on the western circuit at Peoria, a second baseman of the opposing club found one and buried it near his base. He had been playing miserable game, and, strange to say, the charm seemed to work. He played without an error. He was in high feather and couldn't keep his secret. The boys waited their opportunity and dug his plant up and hid it in the club house He played away, however, for the balance of the weel, with out break until one day he took it into his head to inspect his treasure. When te found it gone, my eyel he was red headed From that on he broke and didn't seem able to play at Philadelphia Call.

OLD MUSIC.

Turn tho leaves tenderly, just as you'd touch A flower her lips had pressed, whom long ago You loved unspeakably: in just such Reverence, I hold that dear old book, 50 Worn and stained in happy days of yore,
 Fer yet my life boat from the shore
 Had drifted, drifted with the tide, And sunny youth, upon the further side Was left; they whom loved, and I, Together sang them, those upgathered songs: Sang them in voices clear, and high As meadow minstrels: unto them belongs An untold worth; nearest her heart. Nature her richest gems doth hide; So, in my own, my love hath set apart shrine which oft at eventide seek from that far vanished shore.
 Then floating, come to me
 Over lifes widening sea; Sweet echo songs; and with yearning cry Answers, my soul can never die; My love for them, still in my heart twill dwell, Until that pulsipg heart hath bidden life farewell

WHY NOT ART AND LATTER,

Whats to Prevent the Barbers from Tak-
 ing a Hint from the Pub1icans?
 s'High art in the barroom long ago be- came an incontrovertible and prominent fact in metropolitan life" said an observing New Yorker the other day. "High art and rum as a combine are odd enough, but the coming innovation will excel it. High art and father will be here some day, and the art will be high in double sense, for it will not be on the wall, but on the ceiling.
 .sHow is it that the barber has not long ere this added to his colloquial fascination the charm of the painters brush to draw ducats to his purses There's money in the scheme, if the thrifty Teuton will but put on his glasses and see it. There are barbers in some of the. leading hotels of this city who have grown independent through their trade, and may grow wealthy. Let such a man secure an artist of the first rank in the United States, or from abroad if he prefer it, who will transform his ceiling into vast work ot art, or series of works which shall delight the eye and can only be viewed with comfort from 0 horizontal position. The ceiling may be false one, if desired, placed over the original and made portable, in order that il may be transplanted to another sphere if the rent is raised in consequence.
 "Why do men go calmly to sleep the mo nlent they strike barber's chair? Because they are sleepy2 Not at all. It is becaust tho monotonous field of white or of abomin ably figured wall paper spread out above them for fifteen minutes would in time make of them nervous wrecks unless they closed their eyes; and by closing their eyes they in duce slumber. If, instead of this ordeal, ( man realized that he could enter certain barber shop as he enters the National Acad emv of Design or the Metropolitan museum Of Ant he would go to that shop every time while the large percentage of male popula tion which persists in shaving itself would in sist in having it's hair cut once or twice $ week at least. Indeed, the cause of temper ance itself might hope for new boom, fol many men who now drop in for drinl would in time come to drvp in for shave in stead. And as the price is about the sam, for each, father would net be hampered il the contest with rum.
 "An humble barber in the Bowery has al ready caught the idea in crude way, ane has set his aristocratic brethren an exampl by covering his ceiling indiscriminately witt attractive figures from theatrical posters ant then vanishing over the whole until it ha the appearance of an artists dream after rarebit. It's crude, but the idea is there, ant is bound to be heard from sooner or later."- New York Sun.

CHINESE MONEY LENDING SYSTEM

The Plan of . "WOo-ey"-Shares and
 Shareholders-Heavy Premiums.
 The Chinese have way of borrowing and lending money under system that they call a Woo-ey, that allows its members to borrow money in stated sum and repay it by in sediments. Any member of Woo-ey who takes share and does not wish to borrow himself obtains good interest on the money he invests. The plan of a Woo-ey is as follows:
 An Sing wants to borrow S1O0 and repay 1t Tn installments, so he starts Woo-ey; his first step is to find twenty persons who are willing to take a 8 share in Q &1O0 Woo-ey. An Sing is known as the Woo-ey Tow, or head of the Woo-ey; the shareholders are known as Woo-ey Chi, or children of the Woo-ey. The Woo-ey lasts for twenty months: each Woo-ey Chi pays in s to the Woo-ey Tow, so that Ah Sing obtains his SlOO. At the end of the month An Sing goes to each Of the shareholders and asks for bids for the next loan; each member writes his name and the amount of interest he is willing to pay on slip of paper. Every member has the right of borrowing money once during the Woo-ey. After the bids are all received they are opened and read and the money lent to the highest bidder. We will suppose that ? Der cent. is the highest bid. An Sing, who now pays the first lnStallment, has to pay in the full amount of s5 while the others deduct tho ? per cent. and pay in SL90. When the next installment falls due therc are two members who have to pay in the full amount, and so the Woo-ey runs on.
 At the end of fifteen or sixteen months the interest offered is often as high as 25 or 90 per cent, but as fifteen of the members have borrowed, and so have to pay in the full amount of s, it is only the four or five left who get the benefit of the heavy interest. Sometimes toward the last of the Woo-ey, when two or three different ones wish to bor- row, the rates offered are often as high as 75 per cent, and in one instance that know of, just before the Chinese New Year, 100 per cent. was bid on s Woo-ey. As there were three members that had not borrowed, the hard up Celestial had only to pay the heavy premium to two men. Sometimes the Woo-ey is as low as fifty cents a share, and l have known of Woo-eys as high as $50 q share. Those who go into a Woo-ey as an in vestment, and do not borrow themselves, generally get a large interest for their money.-San Francisco Cor. Chicago Herald.

CHAPTER XVII.

Suzanne sprang forward, her cheeks in a glow, her eyes ablaze and her beauty so dag zling that the poor young man stood as if rooted to the spot, incapable of speech or movement.

For him this was all in the regular line of his business, and he went about it in a solemnly practical way that was quite ad- 1nirable. do not think he loitered with this burden on his hands, AS for the parent who entrusted the baby to this method of car riage, he or she must have confidence in the security of tho messenger service that is nothing less than heroic.
