Adventures on the Plains.

Early in March, 1867, party of friends,
all old buffalo-hunters, now living and
prominent citizens of Wichita and Great
Bend, in Kansas, were camped in Paradise
valley, then famous rendezvous of the
animals they were after. One day, when
out on the range stalking, and widely
separated from each other, an awful bliz-
zard came up. Three reached camp with
out much difficulty, but he who was the
furthest away was fairly caught in it, and
night coming on, was compelled to resort
to a method frequently employed by per-
sons lost on the plains. Luckily he sooa
found superannuated bull that had been
abandoned by the herd, and killing him,
took out the viscera, and himself crawled
inside the huge beast, where he lay COM
paratively comfortable until morning, the
storm having cleared off, and the sun shin
ing brightly. But when he attempted to
get out, found himself prisoner, the inn
mense ribs of the creature having frozen
together, and locked him up as tightly as
if he were in a cell. Fortunately his
friends, who were searching for him and
firing off their rifes-which he heard, and
yelled out to them-discovered and re-
leased him from his peculiar predicament.
At another time two old plainsmen were
away up the Platte among the foothills
hunting buffalo, and they, as is generally
the case, became separated. In an hour
or two one killed fat young COW, and,
leaving his rifle on the ground, went up
and commenced to skin her. While
busily engaged in the work, he suddenly
heard, right behind him, a suppressed sort
of snort, and looking around, saw to his
dismay monstrous grizzly, ambling along
in that animals characteristic manner,
within few feet of him.
In front, only few rods away, there
happened to be clump Of scrubby pines,
and he incontinently made break for
them, climbing into the tallest in less
time than it takes to write of it. The
bear deliberately ate hearty meal off the
cow, and when he had satiated himself,
quietly lay down alongside of the carcass
and went to sleep, keeping one eye prob
ably on the hunter corralled in the tree.
In the early evening his partner came to
the spot, killed the bear, which, full of
! buffalo, was sluggish and unwary, and be-
came an easy victim, and the unwilling
prisoner came down from his perch. The
last time l saw him he told me he still
had the bears hide, which he kept as a
memento of his foolishness in separating
himself from his rife, thing he had
never done before nor since, and which no
hunter should be guilty of-Henry hmGn

BOSTON BAKED BEANS.
How to Prepare the Favorite Dish of the
Hub Dwellers.


Boston is almost as well known for the
inordinate fondness of its citizens for legu-
minous delicacies as for its institutions of
learning. The Neg England Farmer, an
authority upon matters of BEANS" tells
us how the famous dish is prepared "a
quart of beans should be picked over care
fully, then washed in luke-warm water
Afterwards put them in five or six quarts
Of cold water and let them soak over night.
In the morning drain this water off and
put the beans into fresh, cold water, heat
slowly and cook until the skins can be
broken easily. A few minutes before this
point is reached add one-half teaspoonful
of soda. If the beans are cooked until
soft they will become mushy, and neither
look nor taste as we'll as if kept whole
throughout the process of cooking. Ex-
perience teaches how they should look
when ready to take from the fire. Miss
Parloa thinks they need to simmer fifteen
minutes, and Mrs. Lincoln says until soft

not WdteI over IL, sCTdpe lne Tlnu tnOr-
oughly, and then cut it criss-eross lust
through the rind with ii sharp knife.
"Put the pork in the beans, leaving only
the rind exposed. Now mix together
tablespoonful of salt, scant teaspoonful
of mustard and tablespoonful of molasses
in cup of hot water and pour over the
pork and beans. Add as much more water
as needed to cover them put the cover on
the pot and set in moderate oven for six
hours, at least. As the water cooks away
add more boiling water. The last hour
remove the cover and let the pork cook
brown and crisp. Some cooks bury small
onion in the beans when they are put into
the oven, but it is not best to add this un-
less you are certain the flavor will be
liked. The soda added takes out the acid
in the skin of the bean and softens it; the
mustard should never be omitted, as it is
great Improvement. The amount of pork
added is matter of taste, but too large a
piece makes the beans greasy and indigest-
ible. Some people do not eat pork and
substitute a piece of butter and add more
salt; others add small piece of corned
beef, and this is an excellent way for a
change"

Emperor William Witnesses the Maneu-
vers of Naval Vessels.

BERLIN. September 6lh-Emperor Will
lam, General Won Moltke, General Won
Goltze, Count Won Waldersee, Archduke
Stephen and Admiral Sterneck, of the Aus
trian navy, to-day watched, on board the
flagship Baden, the maneuvers of the feet
in Flensburger ford. The opinions of ex-
perts, both British and d.Austrian, concur as
to the admirable condition of the German
feet and the wonderful developments of
the navy. Public interest in the maneuv-
ers is slight, but the Emperor has kept at
tention centered upon his movements by
suggestive utterances at official banouets,
obviously aiming to proclaim stesdfast ad-
hesion to the Austrian alliance. The
Reichsanziger publishes the official version
of his speech, which is calculated to soothe
the Austrian jealousies arising from the
Peterhof interviews. and prepare way for
a conference with Emperor Francis Joseph
during the maneuvers in Silesia.
Government circles are agitated over a
new project for a reform of the Herren-
haus, intiated by the Emperor under the
instigation of Herr Miguel 1t is the in
tention of the Government to so reorgan-
ize the Herrenhaus as to destroy the Con-
servative majority in that House hostile to
the social reforms proposed By his Majesty.
One report Is that the Ministers approve
still more radical scheme or reorganiza-
ton of the House on a basis akin to the
modern ideas of the Senatorial representa-
ton. In connection with the reform, Herr
Miguel and Herr Furth have prepared a
bill which proposes the abolition OF the
seignoral privileges sill possessed by land
owners in East and West Prussia, Bran
denberg, Pomerania, Posen, Silesia and
Prussian Saxony, by which the local elec-
tons are controlled and the local govern
ment held in the grip of these feudal su.
periors. The supreme motive of the Coy
ernment is q conviction that the professed
social reforms are impossible without
prior sweeping away of legislative OBJ
stacles.

CALlEOhNlA ON WHEELS.
1t is Visited by Nearly All the Washing
ton Notables.
WASHINGTON, September 6th.-"Califor-
MIA on Wheels" has been visited by nearly
all of the Washington notables, and leaves
tonight at s o'clock for Annapolis, Md,
where it will remain one day, and then go
to Baltimore. Invitations were sent to the
correspondents on newspaper row, and sew
eral OF them accepted yesterday, but they
came away complaining of inhospitable
treatment, without cause, if they had only
understood matters. They labored under
the hallucination that California wines and
fruits would be dispensed to the visitors,
but upon reaching the train they had no
sooner got in the door when one of the at
tendants said: Gentlemen will please pass
out at the other door,"
The correspondents filed through the car
without noticing the exhibits, and warned
their fellow. correspondents to beware OF
California on Wheels" Consequently
very few of them visited the exhibition,
and it lost much valuable advertising, of
course. No visitor can reasonably expect
to be treated to wine and fruit, when thou
sands visit the exhibition daily. Wine and
bread used to be passed around among the
Mormons in their Tabernacle, but the con-
gregation grew to such stupendous proper
tons the Saints were compelled to substi-
tute water. If wine was freely dispensed
by California on Wheels" the vineyards
of the Golden State would betaxed to their
utmost.
AS to the hospitable treatment by the at
tendants, the latter are obliged to request
visitors to pass in one door and Out the
other to avoid confusion in the narrow
aises of the cars. The attendants are very
obliging and courteous gentlemen. and al
polite to everybody.

A Thibetan Great Lady.

After half an hours absence Lhacham
returned, and resumed her seat. With
her right hand she twirled a golden
prayer-wheel, while with her left she
caressed her son, who was seated beside
her. She pressed me again to take tea and
biscuits, and some bread made of buck
wheat and millet was placed upon my
table. At midday she ordered dinner to
be brought. Several china cups, also
maple-knot cups mounted in gold and sill
yer, were then produced from a chest of
drawers in the room, and cleanly- dressed
boy brought in tray filled with cups con-
tanning different dainties. Before begin
ming inquired of Lhacham if there were
yak-beef in the dishes. No. no; all that
you see in the plates and cups is made of
mutton of the first quality. Although we
prefer yak-beef to mutton, yet, knowing
that you Indians have a great repugnance
to this delicacy of Thibet, ordered our
cook not to mix beef with mutton" |
relished the dishes very much, using chop
sticks and the pins which in Thibet serve
for forks. Lhacham occasionally took
sip or two of tea and conversed with me,
showing great interest in my narrative of
Indian marriage customs and female seclu-
sion. But when related to her that in
India sometimes one husband had several
wives, while the P'iling-pa English and
enlightened natives hal only one, she
stared at me in wonder.
"One wife with only one husband" she
exclaimed in comic surprise. "Do you not
think that we Thibetan women are hap
pier than the Indian or P'iling women, of
whom the Indian must be the most miser-
able ?"
''Pray tell me" said /, "is it not incon.
venient for one wife to have so many hus-
bands w
al do not see," observed Lhacham,
show Indian women can possibly be as
happy as Thibetan women are. The
former have to- divide among many the
affec1on and the property of their one
husband, whereas in Thibet the house,
wife, one woman, is the real mistress of
all the Joint earnings and inheritances of
several brothers. These, her husbands,
being sprung from the same mother, are
undoubtedly one, and therefore the same
flesh, blood and bones. Their persons
are one, though their souls may be differ
ent."
After dinner Lhacham asked me if l
would be presented to her chief husband,
the Shab-pe, to whom she said she had
already made mention of me. | thanked

LIQUOR THE CAUSE.
A Railroad Section Foreman scalped by
Indians.

PORTLAND, September 6th.-Word was
received here this morning that John VOL
vertine, section foreman on the Northern
Pacific railroad, was kpocked down and
scalped by two drunken Indians near
Hope station, a few miles east of here. yes
terday evening. Wolverine was walking
along the track near the station, when he
was met by two Indians, one of whom he
recognized as John Deer. The redskins
were considerably under the influence of
liquor, and Wolverine stepped aside to
allow them to pass. They stopped him,
however, and asked him for whisky
He replied that he had none, when John
Deer struck him blow over the head with
a club. When Wolverine came to his
senses some time after he found his scalp
missing. He managed to crawl to a saloon
some distance away, where he was taken
in and cared for. A railroad man to-day
confirmed the report, and said that VOL
vertine is in very critical condition. The
Indians escaped.

Nelson's Restiny-PIace.

When Lord Nelson was breathing his
last in the cockpit-the apartment set apart
for the treatment of the wounded on board
of warship-of the Victory, his thoughts
seemed TO be concentrated upon little
church at Burnham Thorge, his native
place, where his father was the rector; and
he expressed wish to be buried there.
An appeal has been made for subscriptions
to the Church Restoration Fund, a propo-
sition first made by the Prince of Wales,
to restore the church to the condition in
which it was during the lifetime of the
fighting admiral. Nearly $4,000 has
been subscribed to the fund, OF which the
Queen mas given $3.50, the Prince of Wales
$500 and the Duke of Edinburgh $3.50.

The Rise of Man.

About the middle of the nineteenth GEN.
tury the doctrine of the rise of man as op-
posed to the doctrine of his fall received
great accession of strength from a source
most unexpected. The facts proving the
great antiquity of man foreshadowed a new
and even more remarkable idea regarding
him. 1t is true, that the opponents of
Boucher de Perthes while they could not
deny his discovery of human implements
in the drift, were successful in securing
verdict of mot proven" as regarded his
discovery of human bones; but their tri-
umph was short-lived. Many previous
discoveries, little thought of up to that
time, began to be studied, and others were
added which resulted, not merely in con-
frming the truth regarding the antiquity
of man, but in establishing another doct-
rine which the opponents of science re-
garded with vastly greater dislike-the
doctrine that man has not fallen from ar
original high estate in which he was
created about 5000 years ago; but that,
from period vastly earlier than any war
ranted by the sacred chronologists, he has
