A Joke of late has just appeared,About an Englishman,

"Who, In his self-conce- it, no'er fearedBut that he'd have some fun.

And, by the way, I will relateWhere this great scene occurred :

It happened In the 'Granite state,"Of which you all have heard.

.A martial band of some reputeWas playing through the street.

While at the music of the flutoTheir hearts In union beat.

And "Yankee Doodle" was tho tuneThat they were playing, when

A lordly son of AlbionSaid to a group of men.

Who chanced to stand beside tho walk,As he was passing by.

Engaged in animated talkAbout our liberty :

"Please, sir'" said he, with pompous word,"What tune is that, I pray ?

I never In my life have heardSuch music till this day.

"I'm not quite sure, but I've been told,If my memory's not wrong,

It is tho tune tho famous oldWonderful 'cow died on,' "

"Oh, no ! my friend," a Yankee A3ld ;

"I'll tell you, brother John,Since now the animal Is dead,

It's tho tuno "old Bull' died on,"

From tho Vlcksburg Herald.Was She a Brick I

It was one of the handsomest pack-ets on tho river, and among the pass-engers bound for Vicksburg were uGeorgian and his wife, who have re-

latives In Mississippi.He was a'large-sizo- d, handsome look

Ing man, and she was a plnasant look-

ing little woman, with blue oyes andshort chestnut ourls. One wouldhave said she would have screamed ata tilt of the boat.

He sat smoking with other gentle-men after she had retired to her state-room, and the cabin was entirely clearof ladies, when some one proposed agame of cards. In ten minutes afterhalf a dozen men were shuffling carcteover cabin tabieB, and tho Georgianwas matohed against a stranger to allon board. He was a quiet, courteous,well-dresB- ed man, aud had been tak-en for a traveler in search of health.Ho was lucky with his cards, but hedid not propose playing for stakes. Itwas the nettled Georgian who propos-ed it. He calledihimself a championhand at poker, and when he foundthat he had met his equal he deter-mined to test the stranger's financialmetal.

They had fifty dollars on the tablewhen the Captain looked Into thecabin. He caught the Georgian'seye and gave him to understand thatbis opponent was a river black-leg, but the other gentlemen had drop-ped their cards and crowded around,money was up, and tho informationhad come too late. Besides, the Geor-gian was doing well enough, and heflattered himself that he could teachthe courteous blaokleg a lesson.

It whb a very quiet group aroundthe table, and after the play had con-

tinued for fifteen minutes the gentle-men spoke in whispers, and some ofthem were reminded of old times onthe Mississippi, when gamblers hadthe full run of every boat.

The Georgian had luck with himfrom the very start, and while he look-ed smiling and confident, the gamblerappeared to grow excited and uneasy.His monev was raked anroqs rhn t.jihlo

until the Georgian had $200 in green- - !

backs before him. Tho stakes hadbeeu'llght uplto this time, both menseemed to fear the others skill. TheGeorgian! proposed! to increase them,and the gambler agreed. In ten min-utes the latter had his $200 back.Luok had turned. The Georgian lost$20; then $50; then $S0 ; theu $100.

Tho gambler's face wore a quietsmile,)astho Georgian became nervous.HiBjhauds trembled as ho held up thecards, and his face was wet with mois-ture.

"Come, gentlemen !" said one of thegroup, "let's have a general hand foramusement, and then turn in."

The Georgian looked up with a fix-

ed glance, and replied :

"I have lost $400 ; he must give mea fair show !"

The play went on. Tho heap ofgreenbacks at the gambler's righthand grew larger. Once in awhilethe Georgian won, but he lost $10 forevery one gained. He finally laiddow his cards, pulled a roll of billsfrom a breast-pooke- t, and counted out$300. This was his pile. In less thanten minutes every dollar of it hadbeen added to the gamblor's heap.

"Gentlemen ,will you smoke;?'' ask-ed the gambler, as he turned aroundand drew'his oigarcase.

They knew Mb true oharaoter Inspite of his disguise, and they refused.

"I am sorry for my friend," he con-tinued, biting at the end of a cigar,hut you will agree that the play'wasfair."

The Georgian had passed out on thepromenade deok. The gambler turn-ed to his staok of bills and was count-ing them when there was a sharp

the sounds of a brief strug-gle, and the little woman with blueeyes and chestnut ourls entered thecabin. She was half undressed, aenawl thrown over her shoulders, andeho had a revolver In her hand.

No one had seen herleave herstate-roo- m

and oross the cabin. None knewthat her husband had the revolver Inhis hand as she softly oame upon him."Go baok!" he whispered "I amooming in a moment"

With swift motion she seized theweapon, wrenohed it from his grasp,and as she came down the cabin tothe table at which the gambler sat,and around whioh half a dozen menyet lingered, her blue eyes were fullof fire.

The gambler looked up.The hammer of the revolver came

up with a double olick.A white arm stretched out and the

muzzle of the revolver looked straightInto the gambler's face.

He turned pale ; the men fell baok.For half a minute the deep silenoe

was broken only by the faint splashof tho paddle wheels.

BagjM I. wjzggnPygjy

"Go!" she said.He looked into her flaming eyes as

if he could bluffher."Go!"He rose up and reached for the

money."Leave it!"she whispered, making

a threatening motion with the revol-

ver.He retreated back."She followed.Foot by foot he backed aoross the

cabin, the muzzle of the revolver al-

ways on a line with his face. Hebacked through the door on the prom-

enade deck and tho railing was there."Jump!" she whispered.The boat was running along within

three hundred feet of the shore. Ov-

er the rail to the water was a terribleleap.

"You can have the money," hesaid.

"Jump!" she repeated."I will not!"The arm came up a little, and the

light from the cabin showed him acold, strange, determined look on herface. He turned about, shivered, andwas over the rail, leaping far out andunable to suppress a cry of alarm, ashe felt himself going down.

The boat swept along, her arm fell,and, the cabin, she satdown, leaned her head on the tableand wept bitterly.

The passengers said she was a"brick."

Was she?

A correspondent of the Star andHerald, of Panama, writing fromGuayaquil, August 10th, inst., givesthe following story of the assassina-tion of the President of Ecuador:

The whole city was thrown Intogreat excitement by the news of theassassination of Garcia Moreno, in hispalace at Quito, by Capt. Rayo, an of-ficer whom he ha bisplaced, aided bytwo young men of Quito called Com-ej- o

and Rayo. The first struck thePresident over the head with a mach-ete, aud was Intautly run through bythe sentry, who fired his piece at thesame time, killing the assassin imme-diately. The two young men, afterRayo had struck tho President, firedon the latter with their revolvers.The President fell on his face mortal-ly wounded, and hassince died. Thetwo young men escaped. The peoplecannot realize tho President's death,and are yet afraid to attempt any-thing. Great alarm has seised on allforeigners, and strongreasons exist forbelieving that there will be a massacreof foreign priests.

A youngsterbeing'required to writea composition upon some portion ofthe human body, seleoted that whichunites the head to tho body, and ex-

pounded as follows : "A throat isconvenient to have, especially to roos-

ters and ministers. The former eatscorn and orows with it; the latterpreaches through his'n, and then tiesit up. This is pretty much all I canthink of about necks."

DOMESTIC.

To make good Tomato Ketohupuse one peck of tomatoes, one greatspoonful of clove3,alapice, cinnamonand nutmeg each, half a large spoon-ful of black pepper, half a teaspoonfulof cayenne, and a pint and a half ofvinegar. Stew the tomatoes and strainthem and then add the spice and thevinegar. This quantity will fill threebottles.

Cucumber Pickles. Let your cu-

cumbers stand In cold water one dayand night. Then make a weak briue,have it scalding hot when you put thecucumbers in; let them Btand in thisthree dayB. Repeat this for ninomornings, then scald in vinegar.Take them out aud place in glass jars,ohop horse radish, and add with oina-mo- n

bark, cloves and red pepper,chopped to suit the taste. If you wishto green them, you can do so by soald-in- g

them in a bras3 kettle with grapeleaves covered over them. Seal up.

Coun Soup. To each half dozouears of oorn 1 pint of milk, buttersizeof hickory nut, 1 square cracker, saltand popper to taste. Cut or grato thecorn from the cob, and boil the cobsin tho water half an hour, removethem and put in the corn, addingmore water if it boils away much, sim-mer tho corn twenty minutes, thenadd the milk and simmer till the cornis quite tender, add the salt, pepperand butter, and the oraoker rolled fine,and sorvo. A favorite dish with mostpeoplo.

Drying Corn. Cut the corn fromthe cob before cooking, put In a drip-ping pan. Bet in tho oven, stirring of-

ten till tho milk is all dried up ; thenput in the sun till thoroughly dry,and then put in a sack till needed.How to cook : It needs no washing;put In water, cook a short time, audthen season with butter, cream andsalt to suit; no sugar Is required. Itcooks nearly as quick as peas. Try Itonce and you will never go back tothe old way of cooking before drying.Tis better than canning, I think.

New Use fob Okioxs. A corres-pondent of the Scientific Americancommends onions as a specific againstepidemics not a3 an esculent, butsliced and kept in a siok-roo- wherethey will absorb any atmospherio poi-son. They should be replaoed by freshone every hour. It Is noticed that inthe room of a small pox patient theywill blister and decompose very rapid-ly, but will prevent the spread of thedisease. The application has alsoproved effective iu case of snake bites

Pulverized alum possesses the prop-erty of purifying water. A table-spoonf- ul

sprinkled in a hogshead ofwater, the water being stirred at thetime, will after the lapse of a fewhours, by precipitating to the bottomthe Impure particles, so purify it thatit will be found to possessall the fresh-ness and clearness of the finest springwater. A single teaspdonful will pur-ify a pallfull containing four gallons.

For canning prepare the corn as fordrying, fill the oan full, cover withcold water, set over the fire and bolltill clear, and then seal.

The Tragedy inOuito.

Assassinations are rarely justifiable,and yet there are ciroumstances thatshow the recent taking off of SenorMoreno, President of Eucador, al-

though a cowardly act, to have beenat least a happy riddance for the Re-

public. He had ruled its destinies forfifteen years, during which time hehad successfully obliterated every fea-

ture of civil government. Under hisreign, Ecuador was a theocracy, ruled,through him, by friars, priests andmonks. His policy was ultramontaneiu the striotesteenseof the word. Hiswas the only Government in theworld which bore unconditional feal-

ty to the Pope of Rome. The PopeBent Moreno his blessing, and Morenodecreed a tax of $10,000 a year for hiaPapal majesty. Everything was Jesuitical. No man enjoyed civil rightswho did not subsoribe to the politicaltheory enforced by the Presidont.Schools, societies and corporationswere under priestly rule, the charac-ter of whioh smacked more of the in-

quisitorial age than tho.jpresent en-

lightened period.This, however, whb a mere bagatelle

in the long list of faulta which char-acterized Moreno as an individualandas a publio officer. The religious viewswhich he enforced were hypocritical.It was for the purpose of a atronggov-ernme- nt

that ho courted the influenceoftheohurch. In fact he respectedneither religion or creed. His person-al ferooity was a leading trait; hespurned the apothegm that mercy"bleeseth him that gives." It is re-

lated that on ono occasion, a certainwoman killed herself to escape hisvengeance, whereupon, in a fit of hor-

rible wrath, he had her brains cookedand served upon his table. Thio wasprobably the most revolting act heever committed, but crimes rested up-

on his head'twhiclr were Infinitelymoro brutal aud merciless than it was.To exoite the President's ill-wi- ll wasa sure bid for death or exile. Over thedoors of his bastiies there was no suchInscriptions as the one recorded byDante in his Inferno, yet few emerg-ed from an Ecuadorean prison exceptto theexecutioner's'block or as trans-ported felons. A tyrant and monster,he was, at the same time, a traitor,ready to sell his country for gold. Onvarious? occasions he made overturesto Spain.fand gonca hesubmitted aproposition to Napoleon, barteringaway the'jconstitutional rights of thepeoplo he hadworn to serve and pro-

tect.Itappears that few tears have been

shed over, the tragic fate' of Moreno,even by those whom he regarded ashis trusted retainers. To the massesof the people It Is as if they ha sud-

denly been rid of a greatplaguo. Citi-

zens now enjoy an immunity frompersonal oppression which they hadnot felt for more than a decade. Hadthe slain President been a just andrighteous ruler, a revolution wouldhave followedtheSassassinatlon thatwould havo shaken the republic to itsfoundations. Being a viper in thebosom of his countryjand a heartlessdeanot to hia countrymen, his deathis looked upon as the happiest ciroum-stanc- e

which has occurred inEouadorfor years, and the administration ofcivil government does not seem to

have been disturbed in the least.Globe-Democra- t.

Noble Sentiments of Mr. Lincoln.

The following extract from a letterwritten by President Lincoln, Au-

gust 26, 1863, will be read with inter-est. It brings vividly before themind the many obstacles whioh wereplaced in the way of those who weredevoted to the Union. Mr. Lincolncould do nothing to strengthen thearmy, or encourage the country, with-out drawing upon himself the fire ofDemocratic criticism. The patiencewith whioh ho endured it, the noblemagnanimity with whioh he answer-ed it, the hopeful spirit which liftedhim above its range, are shown in thelauguage which follows:

"You say you will not fight to freenegroes. Some of them seem willingto fight foryou ; but no matter. Fightyou then, exclusively to save theUnion. I issued the proclamation oilpurpose to am you in saving theUnion. Whenever you shall haveconquered all resistenco to the Union,if I shall urge you to continue fight-ing, it will be apt time thou for youdeclare you will not fight to free ne-groes. I thought that in your strug-gle for the Union, to whatever extentthe negroes should cease helping theeuemy, to that extent it weakenedthe enemy in hiB resistance to you.Do you think diflerently? I thoughtwhatever negroes can bo got to do assoldiers, leaves just so much leos forwhite soldiers to do in saving the Un-nio- n.

Does it appear otherwise toyou ? But negroes like other peoplo,act upon motives. Why should theydo anything for us if we will do noth-ing for them? If they 6take theirlives for us. they must be prompted bythe strougest motives, even tho prom-ise of freedom. Aud the promise be-

ing made, mu6t be kept."The slgus look better. The Fath-

er of Waters again goes unvexed toee3. Thanks to the great Northwestfor it; nor yet wholly to them. Threehundred miles up they met New Eng-land, Empire, Keystone and Jersey,hewing their way right and left. ThoSunny South, too, In moro colorsthan one, also lent a helping hand.On the spot, their part of the historywas jotted down In black and white.The job was a great national one, andlet none be slighted who bore an hon-orable part in it. And while thosewho have cleared the great river niaywell be proud, even that is not all.It is hard to say that anything hasbeen more bravely and well done thanat Antletam, Murfreesboro, Gettys-burg, and on many other fields of lessnote. Nor must Uncle Sam's webfeet be forgotten. At all the waterymargins they have been present, notonly on the deep sea, the broad bay,and the rapid river, but also up thenarrow, muddy bayou, and where everthe ground was a littledamp they havedeen and made their tracks. Thanksto all. For the Republic for theprincipal it lives by and keep3 alivefor man's vast future thanks to all.

"Peace does nat appear so distantas it did. I hope it will come soon andcome to stay; and so come as to beworth the keeping in all future time.It will then have been proved thatamong freemen there can be no suc-cessful appeal from the ballot to thebullet, and that they who take suohan appeal are sure to lose their case

and pay the costs. There will be someblack men who can remember thatwith silent tongue and oleuchedteeth, and steady eye, and well poisedbayonet, they have helped mankindon this great consummation, while Ifear there will be some white onesunable to forget that with malignantheart and deceitful speeoh they havestriven to hinder it.

"Still let us not be over sanguine ofa speedy, final triumph. Let us bequite sober. Let us dilligently applythe means, never doubting that a justGOD, in hia own good time, will giveub the rightful result."

A lVooing not Long a Doim

It is told of Abernetby, that whileattending a lady for several week3,observed those admirable qualities inher daughter which he truly esteem-ed to bo calculated lo render the mar-riage state happy. Accordingly, onSaturday, on taking leave of hia pa-

tient, ho addressed her to tho follow-ing purport :

"You aro now eo well that I neednot see you after next Monday, whenI shall come and pay you my farewellvisit. But In the meantime I wishyou and your daughter seriously toconsider the proposal I am about tomake. It Is abrupt and unceremoni-ous, I am aware ; but tho excessiveoccupation of my time by my profes-sional duties affords me no leisure toaccomplish what I desire by the moreordinary course of attention and soli-

citation. My annual receipts amountto , and I can settle on mywife; my character is generally knownto the publio, so that you may readilyoscertaln what it is. I have seen inyour daughter a tendor and affection-ate child, an assiduous and oarefulnurse, and a gentle and lady-lik- e

member of a family; such a personmust be all that a husband covets,and I offer my hand and fortune forher acceptance. On Monday, whenI call, I shall expect your determina-tion, for I really have no time for theroutine of courtship."

In this humor the lady was wooedand won ; and we believe we may addtho union was felicitous in every

She tried to sit down in the streetcap, but was pinned back so verytight she couldn't. Old lady peepedover her specs and asked :

"How long have you been afiliotedthat way?"

The young lady blushed and madea break, sitting down sidewise andholding her knees together so tightthat she looked as if she had on a pairof one-legge- d breeches. Old ladynoticed her sitting in this sidewayscramped position, and whispered:

"Bile, I s'pose, I've had 'em tharmvself."

A correspondent of the PraotioalFarmer recommends seeding downoats as a mulch for strawberries. Hesowed the oats broadcast over hisstrawberry patch about tho 15th ofSeptember. Their growth is of coursesmall at first, and does not interferewith the strawberries. When it hasmade a larger growth it is cheoked bysevere frosts, aud afterwards killed bythe winter, when it falls down overthe plants, making a complete cover-

ing till spring, when tho young plantareadily push through it.

Europe has 5,000,000 of soldiers allready for fighting, with 15,000 cannonand 1,250,000 horses ; its united fleetsconsist of 2,039 vessels, manned by280,000 sailors, and carrying 15,000guns. The cost of these lmmens ar-

maments is $560,000,000 annually,three-fifth- s of the amount being consecrated to the armies.

When a man goes to a quilting party about tea time, and sits down on aball of wicking with a long darningneedle In it, he will think of morethings conneoted with darning, in aminute, than he can mention in twohours.

A wag, seeing a door nearly off itshinges, in whioh condition it hadbeen some time, observed that whenit had fallen and killed some one itwould probably be hung.
