HISTORICAL.. BY KOSCOE WIKIW. ",SSie3gEV A Joke of late has just appeared, About an Englishman, "Who, In his self-conce- it, no'er feared But that he'd have some fun. And, by the way, I will relate Where this great scene occurred : It happened In the 'Granite state," Of which you all have heard. .A martial band of some repute Was playing through the street. While at the music of the fluto Their hearts In union beat. And "Yankee Doodle" was tho tune That they were playing, when A lordly son of Albion Said to a group of men. Who chanced to stand beside tho walk, As he was passing by. Engaged in animated talk About our liberty : "Please, sir'" said he, with pompous word, "What tune is that, I pray ? I never In my life have heard Such 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 old Wonderful '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 u Georgian 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 and short chestnut ourls. One would have said she would have screamed at a tilt of the boat. He sat smoking with other gentle- men after she had retired to her state- room, and the cabin was entirely clear of ladies, when some one proposed a game of cards. In ten minutes after half a dozen men were shuffling carcte over cabin tabieB, and tho Georgian was matohed against a stranger to all on 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 he did not propose playing for stakes. It was the nettled Georgian who propos- ed it. He calledihimself a champion hand at poker, and when he found that he had met his equal he deter- mined to test the stranger's financial metal. They had fifty dollars on the table when the Captain looked Into the cabin. He caught the Georgian's eye and gave him to understand that bis opponent was a river black- leg, but the other gentlemen had drop- ped their cards and crowded around, money was up, and tho information had come too late. Besides, the Geor- gian was doing well enough, and he flattered himself that he could teach the courteous blaokleg a lesson. It whb a very quiet group around the table, and after the play had con- tinued for fifteen minutes the gentle- men spoke in whispers, and some of them were reminded of old times on the Mississippi, when gamblers had the full run of every boat. The Georgian had luck with him from the very start, and while he look- ed smiling and confident, the gambler appeared 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 had beeu'llght uplto this time, both men seemed to fear the others skill. The Georgian! 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 quiet smile,)astho Georgian became nervous. HiBjhauds trembled as ho held up the cards, and his face was wet with mois- ture. "Come, gentlemen !" said one of the group, "let's have a general hand for amusement, and then turn in." The Georgian looked up with a fix- ed glance, and replied : "I have lost $400 ; he must give me a fair show !" The play went on. Tho heap of greenbacks at the gambler's right hand grew larger. Once in awhile the Georgian won, but he lost $10 for every one gained. He finally laid dow his cards, pulled a roll of bills from a breast-pooke- t, and counted out $300. This was his pile. In less than ten minutes every dollar of it had been added to the gamblor's heap. "Gentlemen ,will you smoke;?'' ask- ed the gambler, as he turned around and drew'his oigarcase. They knew Mb true oharaoter In spite 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'was fair." The Georgian had passed out on the promenade 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 blue eyes and chestnut ourls entered the cabin. She was half undressed, a enawl thrown over her shoulders, and eho had a revolver In her hand. No one had seen herleave herstate-roo- m and oross the cabin. None knew that her husband had the revolver In his hand as she softly oame upon him. "Go baok!" he whispered "I am ooming in a moment" With swift motion she seized the weapon, wrenohed it from his grasp, and as she came down the cabin to the table at which the gambler sat, and around whioh half a dozen men yet lingered, her blue eyes were full of 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 straight Into the gambler's face. He turned pale ; the men fell baok. For half a minute the deep silenoe was broken only by the faint splash of tho paddle wheels. BagjM I. wjzggn Pygjy "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. He backed 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 terrible leap. "You can have the money," he said. "Jump!" she repeated. "I will not!" The arm came up a little, and the light from the cabin showed him a cold, strange, determined look on her face. He turned about, shivered, and was over the rail, leaping far out and unable to suppress a cry of alarm, as he felt himself going down. The boat swept along, her arm fell, and, the cabin, she sat down, leaned her head on the table and wept bitterly. The passengers said she was a "brick." Was she? A correspondent of the Star and Herald, of Panama, writing from Guayaquil, August 10th, inst., gives the following story of the assassina- tion of the President of Ecuador: The whole city was thrown Into great excitement by the news of the assassination of Garcia Moreno, in his palace at Quito, by Capt. Rayo, an of- ficer whom he ha bisplaced, aided by two young men of Quito called Com-ej- o and Rayo. The first struck the President over the head with a mach- ete, aud was Intautly run through by the sentry, who fired his piece at the same time, killing the assassin imme- diately. The two young men, after Rayo had struck tho President, fired on the latter with their revolvers. The President fell on his face mortal- ly wounded, and hassince died. The two young men escaped. The people cannot realize tho President's death, and are yet afraid to attempt any- thing. Great alarm has seised on all foreigners, and strongreasons exist for believing that there will be a massacre of foreign priests. A youngsterbeing'required to write a composition upon some portion of the human body, seleoted that which unites the head to tho body, and ex- pounded as follows : "A throat is convenient to have, especially to roos- ters and ministers. The former eats corn and orows with it; the latter preaches through his'n, and then ties it up. This is pretty much all I can think of about necks." DOMESTIC. To make good Tomato Ketohup use one peck of tomatoes, one great spoonful of clove3,alapice, cinnamon and nutmeg each, half a large spoon- ful of black pepper, half a teaspoonful of cayenne, and a pint and a half of vinegar. Stew the tomatoes and strain them and then add the spice and the vinegar. This quantity will fill three bottles. Cucumber Pickles. Let your cu- cumbers stand In cold water one day and night. Then make a weak briue, have it scalding hot when you put the cucumbers in; let them Btand in this three dayB. Repeat this for nino mornings, 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 wish to green them, you can do so by soald-in- g them in a bras3 kettle with grape leaves covered over them. Seal up. Coun Soup. To each half dozou ears of oorn 1 pint of milk, buttersize of hickory nut, 1 square cracker, salt and popper to taste. Cut or grato the corn from the cob, and boil the cobs in tho water half an hour, remove them and put in the corn, adding more water if it boils away much, sim- mer tho corn twenty minutes, then add the milk and simmer till the corn is quite tender, add the salt, pepper and butter, and the oraoker rolled fine, and sorvo. A favorite dish with most peoplo. Drying Corn. Cut the corn from the cob before cooking, put In a drip- ping pan. Bet in tho oven, stirring of- ten till tho milk is all dried up ; then put 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, aud then season with butter, cream and salt to suit; no sugar Is required. It cooks nearly as quick as peas. Try It once and you will never go back to the old way of cooking before drying. Tis better than canning, I think. New Use fob Okioxs. A corres- pondent of the Scientific American commends onions as a specific against epidemics not a3 an esculent, but sliced and kept in a siok-roo- where they will absorb any atmospherio poi- son. They should be replaoed by fresh one every hour. It Is noticed that in the room of a small pox patient they will blister and decompose very rapid- ly, but will prevent the spread of the disease. The application has also proved effective iu case of snake bites Pulverized alum possesses the prop- erty of purifying water. A table-spoonf- ul sprinkled in a hogshead of water, the water being stirred at the time, will after the lapse of a few hours, by precipitating to the bottom the Impure particles, so purify it that it will be found to possessall the fresh- ness and clearness of the finest spring water. A single teaspdonful will pur- ify a pallfull containing four gallons. For canning prepare the corn as for drying, fill the oan full, cover with cold water, set over the fire and boll till clear, and then seal. The Tragedy inOuito. Assassinations are rarely justifiable, and yet there are ciroumstances that show the recent taking off of Senor Moreno, President of Eucador, al- though a cowardly act, to have been at least a happy riddance for the Re- public. He had ruled its destinies for fifteen years, during which time he had successfully obliterated every fea- ture of civil government. Under his reign, Ecuador was a theocracy, ruled, through him, by friars, priests and monks. His policy was ultramontane iu the striotesteenseof the word. His was the only Government in the world which bore unconditional feal- ty to the Pope of Rome. The Pope Bent Moreno his blessing, and Moreno decreed a tax of $10,000 a year for hia Papal majesty. Everything was Jes uitical. No man enjoyed civil rights who did not subsoribe to the political theory enforced by the Presidont. Schools, societies and corporations were 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 individualand as a publio officer. The religious views which he enforced were hypocritical. It was for the purpose of a atronggov-ernme- nt that ho courted the influence oftheohurch. In fact he respected neither religion or creed. His person- al ferooity was a leading trait; he spurned the apothegm that mercy "bleeseth him that gives." It is re- lated that on ono occasion, a certain woman killed herself to escape his vengeance, whereupon, in a fit of hor- rible wrath, he had her brains cooked and served upon his table. Thio was probably the most revolting act he ever committed, but crimes rested up- on his head'twhiclr were Infinitely moro brutal aud merciless than it was. To exoite the President's ill-wi- ll was a sure bid for death or exile. Over the doors of his bastiies there was no such Inscriptions as the one recorded by Dante in his Inferno, yet few emerg- ed from an Ecuadorean prison except to 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. On various? occasions he made overtures to Spain.fand gonca hesubmitted a proposition to Napoleon, bartering away the'jconstitutional rights of the peoplo 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 as his trusted retainers. To the masses of the people It Is as if they ha sud- denly been rid of a greatplaguo. Citi- zens now enjoy an immunity from personal oppression which they had not felt for more than a decade. Had the slain President been a just and righteous ruler, a revolution would have followedtheSassassinatlon that would havo shaken the republic to its foundations. Being a viper in the bosom of his countryjand a heartless deanot to hia countrymen, his death is looked upon as the happiest ciroum-stanc- e which has occurred inEouador for years, and the administration of civil government does not seem to have been disturbed in the least. Globe-Democra- t. Noble Sentiments of Mr. Lincoln. The following extract from a letter written by President Lincoln, Au- gust 26, 1863, will be read with inter- est. It brings vividly before the mind the many obstacles whioh were placed in the way of those who were devoted to the Union. Mr. Lincoln could do nothing to strengthen the army, or encourage the country, with- out drawing upon himself the fire of Democratic criticism. The patience with whioh ho endured it, the noble magnanimity with whioh he answer- ed it, the hopeful spirit which lifted him above its range, are shown in the lauguage which follows: "You say you will not fight to free negroes. Some of them seem willing to fight foryou ; but no matter. Fight you then, exclusively to save the Union. I issued the proclamation oil purpose to am you in saving the Union. Whenever you shall have conquered all resistenco to the Union, if I shall urge you to continue fight- ing, it will be apt time thou for you declare you will not fight to free ne- groes. I thought that in your strug- gle for the Union, to whatever extent the negroes should cease helping the euemy, to that extent it weakened the enemy in hiB resistance to you. Do you think diflerently? I thought whatever negroes can bo got to do as soldiers, leaves just so much leos for white soldiers to do in saving the Un-nio- n. Does it appear otherwise to you ? But negroes like other peoplo, act upon motives. Why should they do anything for us if we will do noth- ing for them? If they 6take their lives for us. they must be prompted by the 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 to ee3. Thanks to the great Northwest for it; nor yet wholly to them. Three hundred miles up they met New Eng- land, Empire, Keystone and Jersey, hewing their way right and left. Tho Sunny South, too, In moro colors than one, also lent a helping hand. On the spot, their part of the history was jotted down In black and white. The job was a great national one, and let none be slighted who bore an hon- orable part in it. And while those who have cleared the great river niay well be proud, even that is not all. It is hard to say that anything has been more bravely and well done than at Antletam, Murfreesboro, Gettys- burg, and on many other fields of less note. Nor must Uncle Sam's web feet be forgotten. At all the watery margins they have been present, not only on the deep sea, the broad bay, and the rapid river, but also up the narrow, muddy bayou, and where ever the ground was a littledamp they have deen and made their tracks. Thanks to all. For the Republic for the principal it lives by and keep3 alive for man's vast future thanks to all. "Peace does nat appear so distant as it did. I hope it will come soon and come to stay; and so come as to be worth the keeping in all future time. It will then have been proved that among freemen there can be no suc- cessful appeal from the ballot to the bullet, and that they who take suoh an appeal are sure to lose their case and pay the costs. There will be some black men who can remember that with silent tongue and oleuched teeth, and steady eye, and well poised bayonet, they have helped mankind on this great consummation, while I fear there will be some white ones unable to forget that with malignant heart and deceitful speeoh they have striven to hinder it. "Still let us not be over sanguine of a speedy, final triumph. Let us be quite sober. Let us dilligently apply the means, never doubting that a just GOD, in hia own good time, will give ub the rightful result." A lVooing not Long a Doim It is told of Abernetby, that while attending a lady for several week3, observed those admirable qualities in her daughter which he truly esteem- ed to bo calculated lo render the mar- riage state happy. Accordingly, on Saturday, on taking leave of hia pa- tient, ho addressed her to tho follow- ing purport : "You aro now eo well that I need not see you after next Monday, when I shall come and pay you my farewell visit. But In the meantime I wish you and your daughter seriously to consider the proposal I am about to make. It Is abrupt and unceremoni- ous, I am aware ; but tho excessive occupation of my time by my profes- sional duties affords me no leisure to accomplish what I desire by the more ordinary course of attention and soli- citation. My annual receipts amount to , and I can settle on my wife; my character is generally known to the publio, so that you may readily oscertaln what it is. I have seen in your daughter a tendor and affection- ate child, an assiduous and oareful nurse, and a gentle and lady-lik- e member of a family; such a person must be all that a husband covets, and I offer my hand and fortune for her acceptance. On Monday, when I call, I shall expect your determina- tion, for I really have no time for the routine of courtship." In this humor the lady was wooed and won ; and we believe we may add tho union was felicitous in every HE fffi&&.&&3 &rG&sa&3sa ii TC1LES BECp1 She tried to sit down in the street cap, but was pinned back so very tight she couldn't. Old lady peeped over her specs and asked : "How long have you been afilioted that way?" The young lady blushed and made a break, sitting down sidewise and holding her knees together so tight that she looked as if she had on a pair of one-legge- d breeches. Old lady noticed her sitting in this sideways cramped position, and whispered: "Bile, I s'pose, I've had 'em thar mvself." A correspondent of the Praotioal Farmer recommends seeding down oats as a mulch for strawberries. He sowed the oats broadcast over his strawberry patch about tho 15th of September. Their growth is of course small at first, and does not interfere with the strawberries. When it has made a larger growth it is cheoked by severe frosts, aud afterwards killed by the winter, when it falls down over the plants, making a complete cover- ing till spring, when tho young planta readily push through it. Europe has 5,000,000 of soldiers all ready for fighting, with 15,000 cannon and 1,250,000 horses ; its united fleets consist of 2,039 vessels, manned by 280,000 sailors, and carrying 15,000 guns. The cost of these lmmens ar- maments is $560,000,000 annually, three-fifth- s of the amount being con secrated to the armies. When a man goes to a quilting par ty about tea time, and sits down on a ball of wicking with a long darning needle In it, he will think of more things conneoted with darning, in a minute, than he can mention in two hours. A wag, seeing a door nearly off its hinges, in whioh condition it had been some time, observed that when it had fallen and killed some one it would probably be hung. $2t'i'- - ; v "Tfi tSSr-c-JJir- JSnSi53TO3Sl ,' tZl UlSC-CJ!l9 3&ttttM2W&fUl JMLil --- jij-j- t ru V '.1VM.'
