Negro Exodus to Oklahoma.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, January 17.-Let-
tiers received by w. l.. Eagleson, the
business manager of the Oklahoma
immigration society, in Kansas, from
points in North Carolina, say that a
large number of negroes of that state
are going through in wagons this
winter to the new territory. Mr..
Esgleson says there are now about
$4,000 negroes in Oklahoma and that
by spring there will be at least So
600. He claims they ought to have
that country and says that President
Lincoln and the republican party
promised to give it to them. He adds:
We are determined to take it
anyhow, and we will make 1t one OF
the grandesr states in the Union.
1 favor Col. Morgan's scheme to pur-
chase the Cherokee strip and other
lands in the Indian territory, exclu-
sively for negro settlement. Give US
the Blair bill, the Indian territory
and Senator Buffers $1,000, 900 and
we shall be content. Oklahoma, in
my judgment, is the land of promise
for the race and migration, the pan
aCea for every i'll now affecting the
negroes of the south"

Shaking Hands.

The practice of hand-shaking is
probably carried to a greater extent
among English-speaking people than
elsewhere, and is nowhere so preva-
lent as in this country. In fact, the
national custom has developed in some
of its applications to such an extent as
to have become a great annoyance to
public men. who are frequently re-
quired to shake the hands of thousands
of people whom they have never seen
before and will never hear of again.
But this does not by any means apply
to the hearty. happy hand-clasp of
friends who thus sincerely express
their joy at meeting. There is indi-
viduality in the notwithstanding

A Bride who Was Coy.

At a small station on the Georgia
Pacific road bridal couple boarded
our train. They were of the cracker
variety and their greenness at once at
tracted attention. They had tickets
for Atlanta and were going on a
tour They hadn't been on the train
ten minutes when the bride was noticed
to be weeping, and pretty soon the
groom came back to where | sat with
the conductor. and said:
Conductor. l wish you'un would
go'n speak to Mary"
Whats the matter with MaryP"
was asked.
"She'un's a-weepin' fur her ma.
Says she'un wants to go right back
home"
She'll get over it," said the official.
and the groom returned to his seat. 1t
wasn't over ten minutes, however, be-
fore he returned to say:
Conductor. she'uns a'takin' on like
smoke. Says she can't abide to be
mar'd, nohow, and her wishes her dun
hadn't done it"
well, she'll have to make the best
of il" replied the conductor, and the
groom returned to console her. She
turned away from him, however, and
pretty soon he was back to say:
Conductor. she'un declar's she'll
go home to ma on foot. never dun
see anybody so onery."
Wasn't it a marriage for lovepn
Your shoutin' it was! We'uns hev

The groom went to the rear of the
car after drink of water and just then
the train stopped at station The
bride was up and out on the platform
like flash. and the car had not ceased
its motion when she leaped to the
ground, fell head over heels, and
scrambled up and started back up the
track on a run. The groom rushed
out of the car and jumped to the plat
form. and as he caught sight of his
fleeing bride he turned to the conduc-
tor and said:

Discovery of Anthracite.

The proposition to erect a monu-
ment to Philip Ginder, who discovered
anthracite coal on Summit hill, Car
bon county, In 1871. has given rise to
a number of claims for the honor of
discovering coal in Pennsylvania The
Wyoming valley people claim that an
thracite was known in that section of
the state as early as 1856. There is a
tradition that hard coal was burned in
the Valley Forge about the time of the
French and Indian war. Neverthe-
less the Mauch Chunk promoters of
the Ginder celebration refuse to be
turned aside from their plans. They
point with pride to the fact that the
Lehigh Valley Coal-Mining company
began practicing mining in Carbon
county in 1892. in immediate conse-
quence of Ginder's discovery, and it
was only then that the possible inn
portance of coal as 4 fuel began to be
appreciated. They claim, therefore,
that Ginder is entitled to a monument,
and they propose that he shall have
one. onthe just grounds that the dis
covery of anthracite is not the indi-
vidual who knew that the ground con-
tanned black stones without knowing
their use, but he whose discovery led
to the use of coal as fuel.
Ginder seems to be as much deserv-
ing of the honor of being called the
discoverer of anthracite coal in Penn
sylYania as Fulton is of being called
the inventor of steamboat, or Isaac
Newton the discoverer of difrerential
calculus. or Robert Raikes the founder
rof Sunday-schools.

killing ana Cooking a Turtle.

Il was surprised to learn the other
day." said Charlie Schweickar,lt, ..that
very few persons not engaged in the
restaurant business know how n turtle
is killed and prepared for the SOUP.
Please eulighten mankind by telling
them that turtle is killed by cutting
its head off. You know that at the
least sign of danger the turtle will
draw his head into his shell, and then
you have to resort either to strategy or
brutality to make him put out his head
again. This object may be accom-
plished by hanging the turtle by the
tail. This will cause his head to drop
down and then a sharp knife will do
the rest of the work. Some people
have an idea that the turtle as soon as
he is killed is thrown right into the
pot and boiled into soup. When the
turtle IS dead the breastplate is sawed
in two and an opening to insert the
securing knife is made. Then the ex-
pert deity curves the knife in such a
manner as to remove the back plate
without taking particle of meat with
1t. The entrails are secured and then
the real body of the turtle is put In the
pot and the vegetables and other
accessories ad;led with hot water.
Then let it boil aud you will soon have
good turtle soup. So. Louis Republic.
