A California Story.
A correspondent of the San Francis
co Chronicle, who writes from Lower
Lake, Lake county, Cal.. tells of the
adventures of two juveniels in that
locality : There is good stuff in those
youngsters of Dr. Baker's every one
of them ; but my yarn only concerns
the two younger ones of the lot. Last
Sunday the little one, Jenny, a girl
of b!x or seven years, made her ap
pearance In her mother's room and
demanded permission to go out deer
hunting with her brother. Claude is
12 years old, and killed a deer about
the size of a buck rabbit one day last
week, since when he can't rest a mo
ment in the daytime, and searcelj'
sleepB at night. It was 10 o'clock
when the children started, taking a
dog with them. The mother thought
no more of them until dinner time in
the evening. Then she became
alarmed. Night approached.she was
half wild. All hands, consisting of
ten or twelve miners, started out,
some on horseback and some on foot.
Night came; darkness settled down
on the still valley with a quiet that
seemed like death. The mother be
came frantic She heard an occassional
gun fired off and knew that it was the
Doctor aud men in pursuit of the lost
children. She could not remain in
the house another minute. She took
the direction of the guns' report as
well B3 she oould, and started after
the crowd. It was midnight when
she came up to them. There was
scarcely a half garment on her body.
8he seemed to have passed through a
dozen deaths all but the dying. From
the time she joined her husband and
the other men she led the crowd un
til, about 3 o'clock in the morning,
ehe heard a dog bark, and in another
moment was with the children, who
were instantly awaked by the noise.
Then it was, Hbwd'e do, mama?"
and "Howd'e do, papa?' and "Ain't
this a splendid tree to keep house un
der?" "We had to flgbi for it. tho"
eaid Claude. "See here we had to
kill the first settler," and sure enough
there lay a California lion, one of the
largest size, with a ball through his
braiu. Claude had shot him after
dark. They had been lost, but the
boy Imagined he had struck the home
trail and kept running on until he
met the lion and shot him. Jenny
says he lay crouched down like a cat,
and not further away than across the
room when they shot him. He
sprang right up in the air and tumbled
at their very feet. Before starting
from the house one of the men had
put some biscuits in his pockets,
thinking the children would be hun
gry, and these he offered them. "No,
thank you," said Jenny, "we had
quails for supper." They had taken
matohes, and Claude had shot the
quails ; these they had roasted on a
8 tick, and of course they were
not hungry. It was an elder sister of
these two plucky youngsters who was
out on horseback in a very wild tract
of oountry. She was about 12 years
old at that time, and had been hunt
ing stock. All at once she saw a pair
of bright eyes looking at her from a
bunch of tall grass. "I'm going to
see what you are, anyhow," she ald.
She got down from her horse, and
Boon found that the eyes belonged to
the prettiest little darling she ever
saw." There were more of them, but
she only captured one specimen and
ollmbed baok into her saddle. She
had not gone a half mile before she
heard something loping behind her.
She-turned around and saw a lion.
She put her horse to his best speed
and almost flew, she Bays, but the hor
rid thing gained on her: "Of course
I knew what he wanted," said the
child, "but I didn't Intend to hu
mor her selfishness. I didn't take
but one, and I left her two, and that's
as generous as anynue, need be. But
she couldn't seem toseeit. Anyhow,
she just flew at us ; aud old Phil
talk about his being a fast horse. I
wanted to break his neok. The lion
gained on us at every step, till at last
1 took her baby and threw it at her.
"Now take it and leave, you stingy
old thing," I said ; and she did ; she
just grabbed It up In he mouth and
put off, and I came home." The
mother says that nothing would give
her more comfort than to know that
her children were all afraid of their
'own ehadqws. But not one of them
haB ever shown a particle of coward
ice In their lives, nor their father be
fore them.
A Game of Cards Canses the Separa
tion of a Hnsbaud and Wife.
From thcUtchfleld (Ky.) Journal.
A gentleman and his wife who re
side in this county went a short time
since to visit a neighbor, with inten
tion of staying all night. After the
supper the host proposed a game of
cards to his guest, to which the latter
assented and they sat down to play.
The wife of the visitor, being relig
iously iuclined, raised a remonstrance
against the game hut this was disre
garded by her husband.
She then became very much excited,
and threatened to burn the cards if
the continued to play. At last her
husband turned to her and said : "I
guess I'm wearing the britches now,
and if you don't want to see me play
and can't behave yourself, just
get your bonnet and go home at
once." She took him at his word,
and all that night her lonely
pitlow was wet with tears of bitter
anguish, called forth by the knowl
edge of her husband's wickedness.
Next morning the husband, who in
the meantime had been nursing his
wrath went home and told his wife
that she had disgraced him, and now
she could pack her traps and leave his
bed and board forever. Remonstrance
was in vain, and she sorrowfully de
parted. That night the husband re
tired to his widowed bed to think,
not to sleep. Visions of the past hap
piness and regret for his hasty expul
sion of his companion passed through
his mind. Presently he heard a gen
tle tap at the door. "Come in." said
he ; the door opened and his wife
stood upon thethreshhold. "Betsy,"
said he; "what are you doing out this
time o' night?" "Oh, nothing," said
she. "Make me some coffee," eaid
he. This sheproceeded to do with more
than her usual alacrity, and nothing
more was said of their disagreement.
Now a deck of cards adorns the
mantel-piece In their home, and ev
ery night after the supper dishes are
cleared away that husband and wife
sit down to a cheerful game of "old
sledge," So wags the world.
Management of Window Plants.
The Horticulturist quotes the remark
of J. E. Feast, of Baltimore, on the
management of house plants, of
which the following are the leading
points: Place the plants as near the
glass as practicable, to get plenty of
light. Windows facing the South are
best. Judicious watering is the most
important requisite. In winter keep
the plants, not then growing rather
dry. Increase the moisture in Bpring.
with the increase of the sun's power,
and the advancement of Its growth.
In summer water plentifully; decrease
as cool weather approaches. Never
water a plant without it is dry, and
then water thoroughly, so that the
soil may get wet through. Empty re
fuse water from the saucers, give plen
ty of air on every fine day and avoid
draughts. Screen the plants from the
dry air and ibe dust of the room by a
curtain or inside window. Syringe
whenever dust is deposited.

Selected Recipes.
Flannel Cake Mix three table
spoonfuls of flour with one'pint of
cream ; add two eggs and beat the
whole well till quite smooth ; then
add slowly half a pint of new milk,
into which has been put a teaspoon
ful of baking powder. Beat all well
together, and fry with lard, a little of
which should be made hot for each
cake. Eat with powdered sugar, mix
ed with cinuamou, or grate nutmeg.
Pumpkin as a Poultice A corres
pondent of the New York Farmer's
Club gives an instance in which a wo
man's arm was swollen to anenorm
ous size aud painfully inflamed. A
poultice was made of stewed pump
kins, which was renewed every fif
teen minutes, aud in a short time pro
duced a perfect cure. The fever
drawn out by the poultices made
them extremely offensive, as they
were taken off.
Indian Rusk. Two light cups of
ludian meal, one cup of white flour,
one teaspoonful of saleratus, enough
sour or buttermilk to dissolve, one
cup sweet; stir in three-fourths of a
cup of molasses.
to
Wedding Pudding. One cup of mo
lasses, one cup of chopped raisins, one
cup of milk, half cup of butter, one
teaspoonful of soda, one dessert spoon
of mixed spices, one egg, four cups of
flour. Steam three hours.
Cracker Pie Six soda crackers
broken fine ; three teacups of water;
two of sugar; four lemons ; grate the
rind and squeeze the juice; bake in
paste.
How to Cook Salt Pork Many peo
ple do not relish salt pork fried, but it
is quite good to soak it in milk two or
three hours, then roll in Indian meal
and fry to a light brown. This makes
a good dish with mashed turnips, or
raw onions cut in vinegar; another
way is to souk it over night in skim
milk aud bake like fresh pork; it is
almost as good as fresh roast pork.
Indian Bread. Beat two eggs very
light, mix alternately with them one
pint of sour milk or buttermilk and
one pint of fine ludian meal; melt
one tablespoonful of butter and add to
the mixture; dissolve one tablespoon
ful of soda or saleratus, in a small por
tion of milk and add to the mixture
the last thing, beat very hard and
bake in a pan in a quick oven.

TINWARE,

THE,
Nebraska Advertiser,
ESTABLISHED IN 1S5G,
now enters upon its
Twentieth. "Y" ear,
and is the
OLDEST PAPEE IN NEBRASKA!
That never suspended or changed its name. Age has
not caused its depreciation, nor its adherence to explod
ed fogyisms, but otherwise ; and to-day it stands on a
sure foundation, in the
Advance Guard oftlie Great Army of
Progression,
Strong from the nourishment of long years of good
principles, consistent with the American idea of
LIBERTY AJD IIUMAN RIGHTS.
When the question was presented between Treason an
Loyalty, Union and Disunion, the Stars and Stripes ana
the Stars and Bars, The Advertiser unflinchingly
and uncompromisingly espoused the cause of Union
and an undivided "country, and as a consistent
REPUBLICAN JOURNAL,
It has ever insisted, and does still insist, that this great
country should be ruled by the party that saved it from
destruction. In the political campaign of this year,
and the National one to be in 1876, The Advertiser
will give no uncertain sound. Its editors will be found
shooting efficient editorials in the same direction, and
at the same foe, that they shot leaden bullets, for the
mission of the Republican party is not yet accom
plished, the occasion for political effort has not yet
passea, American progress nas not vet ended, utner
labors, to save what has been gained, lie before the
loyal people. The Advertiser most heaitiiv cher
ishes the sentiments so pointedly enunciated in the first
plank of the Republican platform of Ohio "That
the States are one as a Nation, and all citizens are equal
under the laws, and entitled to the fullest protection,"
and believes that the safety of the Nation lies in the
full recognition of this doctrine, rrom the attitude 01

JL.S A. FAjMILY paper,
The Advertiser is conceded to have no superior, and
few equals, if any, in the State ; and we assure our
readers that it shall be kept up, in every respect, equal
to its present standard of excellence, until we make it
better by various improvements which we have in view
just so soon as times improve among the people fi
nancially so as to justify us in making such improve
ments. At the commencement of the volume just closed
we promised our patrons that The Advertiser should
be in the future a better family paper than it had ever
been before ; that we filled our columns not with old
"dead" advertisements, but with choice reading pre
pared with care for a variety to suit the general reader.
Our readers will concede that we have lived up to this
promise. We have for the last year carried more
reading matter than any other weekly in the State,
demonstrating that our ambitious declaration are not
an empty blow, and that we do not make promises
only to break them.
