OF the Club, and he had attended every
meeting thus far held, but up to date
he had heard nothing said about the
transit of Venus, a matter in which
he was deeply interested. Did the
Club know that there was going to be
| another transit in about two weeks?
Did it wish to send him up to High
Bridge to observe and report? Was
it possible, as he had heard limited on
several occasions, that the Cotton
Blossoms didn't care a continental
whether Venus transited or stuck to
the old pasture. The elder was grow
ing excited when Brother Gardner
brought the gavel down with a smash
and shouted:

'sAn' yo'll git hull har'l of infor-
mashun right off! want to say to

other Heavenly body! We all know

This announcement created no
slight sensation among the members,
and Samuel Shin took advantage of
it to throw a turnip, which struck
Elder Toots in the neck and jumped
him up with an offer to fight Judge
Cadaver and Admiral Bumbo with
one hand tied behind him.
The LIGHT That FAILED.-All ar
arrangements had been perfected for
the Hon. Snowfall Baker, of West
Virginia, to Adde'S the meeting, or,
rather, to deliver his celebrated essay,
entitled: s'Supposin' de Cocoanut
an de Cowcumber Was to Trade
Places?" He arrived here Friday
evening and borrowed a white shirt
OF Waydown Bebee and a pair OF sus-
penders OF the Rev. Penstock and in
formed everybody that he should
make the effort of his life. Saturday
afternoon, however, while paying a
call at the cabin of Elder Shipback
Hartwell, he helped himself to what
he supposed was extra dry wine. 1t
proved to be be extra wet liniment,
which the Elder had compounded to
rub on his mules leg, and at this
writing the Hon. SNOWFALL is still
lying on the parlor floor in pictur-
esque but dazed condition. Brother
Gardner explained the situation OF
affairs. and added:
II doan reckon we has lost much
by de failure to h'ar dat leckture. A
pusson who hasn't huff talent to tell
de difference between sunthin' good
fur himself an sunthin' good fur a
mewl can't be much of a logishun.
AS soon as he is able to walk he will
be headed towards Buffulo an told to
trabble. We will now abscound to

Something New.
A new article of food has been i'm
troduced in California. known as
Kuprion's Egg Noodles and Egg Bar
ley. They are warranted to be COM
posed purely of eggs and flour. When
used for soups they require to be
boiled from fifteen to twenty minutes.
With roasts, fish or fruits they are
Drowned in butter and served hot.
They are also very appetizing when
cooked with milk with the addition
of little cinnamon, or when cooked
with cheese. A factory has been es-
tablished where all the work is done
by women, and we may soon ex-
meet these delicacies to be in the
market.
