Pickles.

In making pickles, use none but the
best vinegar. Boil in Il porcelain kettle
never in metal. Pickles should be cx.
amined every month, and soft pieces re.
moved. II there is much tendency to
soften. it is advisable to strain oil the
vinegar; add to each gallon cupful OF
pickle jar while hot. The occasional
addition Of little sugar keeps pickle,
good and improves them. Spices in
pickles should be used whole. slightly
bruised, but preferably not ground; II
ground, they should be tied up in thin
muslin bags. Most pickles, if well
made, improve by age, the sharpness Of
the vinegar passing oil and the favon
OF the spices blending pleasantly to-
gether. Ginger is the most wholesome
spice for pickles, cloves the strongest,
mace, allspice and cinnamon the more
delicate, and Of course less OF the strong.
est should be used. Never put pickles
in anything that has held any Kind OF
grease, and never let them freeze. Before
putting them in vinegar after scalding,
they should be cold and perfectly dry. A
lump Of alum the size of small nutmeg,
to gallon Of cucumbers, dissolved and
added to the vinegar when scalding the
pickles the first time, renders
them crisp and tender, but too much is
injurious. To prevent moulding cut horse.

his object, however to pick up
treasures for the museum which will form
a part of the University building. In
this object he was abundantly success

works OF art in all parts of Europe, regardless of

A WESTERN ROMANCE.
Marriage of an English Gentleman to a
Sioux Indian RelIe

STANDING Rock AGENCY (Dakota), October
1Sth.-The staid people of the Agency are con-
slderably shaken by d sensation of the most
lively character.
Last week small party of English gentlemen,
who were securing this section of the country
on hunting and pleasure expedition, lost
their bearings and wandered to the Agency,
whe;e the Indians gave them the necessary in
formation in regard to theii route. In the COM
pany was Henry Ashburton, wealthy young
man of Leeds England.
While preparing dinner in their tent the first
day of their arrival, daughter of one of the
leading chiefs entered approached the aston
| ished young Briton, threw her arms around his
| neck and repeatedly covered his face with pas
sionate kisses. The maiden was ravishingly
| lovely, with delicately rounded limbs and long.
| glossy dark hair
Though considerably surprised. the young
man made no attempt to interfere with the
| girls strange behavior, for he seemed to be
well pleased with the performance, and when
| she ceased showering kisses, he in turn caught
| her up in his arms with afectionate hug and
kiss Their acquaintance ripened into love
and the wedding occurred yesterday.
The maiden is a half-breed about is years oil
\ age. Her face is as white and delicate as that
| OF petted daughter of upper-tendom, and
when attired in civilized and fashionable gar
ments, no one would ever suspect that she was
OF Indian parentage.

Violated Contract.
B. W. Cavanaugh, Jr., by his attorney, Grove
/. Johnson, yesterday commenced an action in
the Superior Court against Ezra Casselman, for
$500, for an alleged violation of a contract
The plaintiff alleges that on the 10th of Nav,
1888, he entered into q contract with defendant
to purchase tract of seventy acres of land, sit
uated on the Riverside road, about one mile
from Sacramento, and bounded as follows. On
the north by lands OF W A. Gamble on the east
by lands of Mrs Crothers, on the sOaih by lands
OF L. w. Liucoln, B. W. tavanaug gh and Antoine
Cook, and on tbs vest by the Sacramento river,
together with all the Improvements thereon,
hereditameuts and appurtenances also all the
live stock and all the furniture upon the prem
ises, except the blankets and wearing apparel of
CasSelman and wife. The growing crops were
also excepted he price 10 be paid under the

October 18th, a mortgage to be given by plaint-
If to defendant bearing interest at the rate of 5
per cent, per annum, 10 insure the payment at

Plaintiff further alleges that it was stipulated
in the contract that when the IS coo was paid
and the mortgage executed, the defendant
should execute and deliver a good and sufficient
deed to the real estate, Improvements, etc
Plaintiff recites that the contract was duly ac-
knowledged and recorded; that he fully COM
piled with its requirements; that on the 18th
day OF October, 1883, he paid the 5000 and
made the mortgage for $4,000, and defendant
executed a deed OF what purported to be the
land described in the contract. Plaintiff
alleges. however that the deed excepted from
Its operations a pieces OF land so by 100 feet,
with house thereon, which land and house
were included within the provisions of the con
tract, and which house and land, plaintiff is in
formed and believes, has been conveyed to q
third party The value of the house and land is
estimated at 81 900. 1t is alleged that defendant,
after making the contract, disposed of a colt
worth $3.50 four tons of hay valued at 500; that
he tore down and destroyed fences valued at
disposed OF chickens, a buggy pole ana house
hold furniture of the value of S100; that he
turned sheep aud other stock into the orchard,
and pulled up trees, doing irreparable damage
ID the extent of 81 $40.
Wherefore plaintiff prays judgment against
defendant for the sum of So 200, with costs of
suit, and such other relief as may seem to the
Court meet and equitable.

The Direct Excursions

The committee appointed by the Sacramento
Valley Excursion Association. to secure sub
scriptions for carrying out the good work for
which the organization was effected have met
with splendid success, and have raised nearly
the amount required. The value of the proposed
excursions cannot be over-estimated and ii is
hoped that they will have no difficulty in secur-
ing enough money to carry out the plan success
fully. Eastern visitors are already arriving in
large numbers, but most OF them stop here only
q few hours having bought excursion tickets
for Los Angeles or Portland, and being desirous
of going as far as their ticket will carry them.
