HISTORICAL..
BY KOSCOE WIKIW.
A Joke of late has just appeared,
About an Englishman,
"Who, In his self-conceit, 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-sizod, 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-dresBed 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-pooket, 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 ex
olamation, 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
room 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.
"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, re-entering 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
ejo 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.
The Tragedy inOuito.
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
mon bark, cloves and red pepper,
chopped to suit the taste. If you wish
to green them, you can do so by soald
ing 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-room, 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
spoonful 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.
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
ernment 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-will 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
stance which has occurred inEouador
for years, and the administration of
civil government does not seem to
have been disturbed in the least.
Globe-Democrat.
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
nion. 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
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-legged breeches. Old lady
noticed her sitting in this sideways
cramped position, and whispered:
"Bile, I s'pose, I've had 'em thar
mvself."
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-like
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 re-speot.
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-fifths 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.

uncompromisingly espoused the cause of U
