Recipc for Postum Potpie.

Sitting on the edge of one OF the long
piers on the Delaware front the other day
were two darkies who seemed to be very
earnestly engaged in more than ordinary
discussion. Slipping up behind one of
the large mooring posts, a reporter over
heard the following colloquy: "Fust you
get de 'possum, den you get de dooh, den
you get de pot, and den-um-you be
ready for de potpie Now, Sam, comes de
way we make de pie. Fust n lay of de
'possum, den lay of de dooh. HUSH!

'possum and de dooh you'll hab dis heah

grandmother. After the excited darby
had somewhat cooled down at the vivid
description of the potpie he picked up his
hat, that had fallen from his head in his
expressions Of delight, and both rapidly
walked away-Philadelph Call.

Mountain Climbing at Home.

DIR. j. Buttner, of Kotzschen- Breda,
has invented q contrivance which enables
people to indulge in the healthy pastime
of mountain climbing without leaving
their rooms This apparatus is more par
ticularly adapted for the use Of persons
suffering from a defective circulation,
fatty degeneration, obesity, etc. 1t con-
sists of couple of steps placed side by
side and working in such way that one
rises while the other is being pressed
down by the foot. Under each step is a
bellows which offers resting power to
the down tread. The labor Of climbing is
regulated by means of lever brake.
The steps are six inches high, and the less
or greater steepness of the climb can be
Initiated by treading the step halfway
down, or to its full depth; also by vary
ing the amount Of luggage carried by the
operator. A self acting pedometer

More of the Same.

The sixth day of June was celebrated
in Baltimore and vicinity rs confeder-
ate decoration day. Gen. Bradley r.
johnson, eXrebel, was the orator
Among other things which fired the
southern heart, he said:
The South is progressing. She is
not dead. These old confederate sol
diers and their descendants elect ninety
out Of every hundred congressman,
thirty -four of the United States senat-
ors and the president of the United
States. The government of the United
States is controlled by confederate
soldiers. Every confederate soldier
carries with him, chained to his heart,
II casket of his dead hopes and aspira-
tions all through his life, rs Douglass
did the heart of Bruce to the Holy
Land, to show his devotion To the cause
for which he fought. If the time should
ever come and il were necessary, there
are 10000 in Maryland who would
stand To their cause rs Douglass did for
Bruce"
In conclusion the orator, like all eX-
rebel speakers, turned his thoughts
toward the old "arch traitor" Said he:
81 cannot forget Jefferson Davis He
is patriot statesman and hero. He
is renowned for his patriotism. hope
he will go down To the grave with the
disfranchisement his enemies have put
upon him, for | am sure he has no
desire for it To he otherwise, and would
never accept the right of suffrage eX-
cept by unanimous consent"
All of which is respectfully submitted
to the candid consideration of patriotic
citizens. But don't wave the bloody

Arab Horses Not Superior.

the lingering idea that the Arab horse
but for his inches would be better than
his English brother grows more purely
romantic every year. A contest occurred

the latter carrying fourteen pounds more
OF weight, both of exactly the same
height, and the oriental champion, al
though he had been first in the betting,
