Independent. 1IIBA51 JOKINS' MISTAKE. BT CHARLES E. HTJRD. - Hiram Jenkins drove slowly up the hill road that led to the farm-house of Deacon Bates. It was plain even to the casual observer that the errand he was bound upon was of no common impor ance. JSo man would have arrayed him self so gorgeously simply for the pur chase ol a tub of fall butter or a yoke of steers. His hair was in a state or dis tressing smoothness, and seemed almost a part of the glossy hat which covered it. His coat and pantaloons were marvels in their way, and his boots, which had been elaborately blacked, reflected back the rays of the setting sun in a manner per fectly blinding to the beholder. And yet, notwithstanding his superiority in all these respect to the lilies of the field, there was apparent in his actions a singular sort of nervousness, a trepida tion almost, which rendered his appear ance at once ridiculous and awkward. This trepidation was in no wise lessened by the sudden vision of a red-headed urchin watching him from the barn-door, and who, as the team approached, with an ever-widening grin, sped off in the direction of the farm-house and disap peared through the kitchen door, llirani was conscious a minute afterward of be ing the target for half a dozen pairs of eyes from the sitting-room windows, and it required extraordinary strength of mind on his part to drive past the house to the shed where the horses of all visitors were hitched. There are few more awkward things to do than to get out or in a carriage when women are watching, and though Hiram had prob ably never thought of the fact before he fully experienced its truth as, endeavor ing to spring genteelly from the buggy, his foot slipped on the wheel and he came down on his hands and knees in the dirt. His remarks as he scrambled to his feet were confined to one word, but that, though short, was the most express ive one in the English language " I'll have to go round to the barn pump and wash my hands before I can go in," he said to himself. " I suppose their fun out of me in Confound it, I wish I they are having the house now. hadn't started 1 As he passed the door of the horse barn, which was partly open, he heard the sound of voices. He listened, and his heart sank as he recognized the tones of his rival, Elnathan Rogers. 44 1 want her bad," he was saying. "She just suits me. You can't always have her, you know, and you'd better call the thing settled." " I don't know about that," answered the Deacon, doubtfully. I've always said, come what would, I wouldn't part with Jenny. But you hang on so, I don't know " Say it's a bargain, Deacon. I've thought it over a good while, and Jenny I must have. I'll treat her well, you may be sure of that." The Deacon hesitated, blew his nose and, finally, said : " She's got some little tricks that no body knows nothing about but me, and I don t want to impose upon a neighbor." " Oh, pshaw! that's only an excuse, Deacon. I'm willing to risk it." " She kicked me in the stomach last winter, and bit little Sammy not more'n six weeks ago. I can show you the scar now." " Great king !" thought Hiram, - and here I was going to pop the question this very night. Who ever would have thought it i" " I'll take that out of her," said Elna than, continuing the conversation. "If she so much as lifts her foot against me i u give her a lickin' that 11 last month." "Lick!" ejaculated Hiram to himself, astonished beyond measure. ' Lick Jenny iiates! Well, this goes ahead of any thing I ever heard of. And the old man doesn't say a word ! what next? - A pause ensued, which was at last broken by the Deacon : " Well, if you must have her.you must I expect the old lady'll want something 10 say auoui it, tnougn. bhe thinks as much of J enny as I do. Won't you come into ine nousei ' No now. Tve got to go down to the village before dark. I'll be round some time to-morrow." Hiram Jenkins waited until he saw his successful rival climb the fence between the two farms. Then he deliberately un hitched his horse, got into his wagon and drove on, never casting a look toward the window where the fair Jenny sat in watchful expectation. Not until he reached his own door did he draw a long breath. " it seems just like a dream," said he to himself, as he slowly unbuckled the harness. "To think of Jenny Bates kicking her own father and biting her little brother, and she looking as though butter wouldn't melt in her mouth! It's just as mean, though, for the Deacon to lick as 'tis for her to kick. The old hyp ocrite! Well, I must say that I'm might ily deceived in the Bateses. 1 s'pose Elnathan Rogers feels cranky enough now he's got her. I just hope she'll kick his head off. Lucky for me I over heard what I did." Notwithstanding this self-gratulation, Hiram felt all the pangs of disappoint ment and jealousy. He had not only lost his girl," but he had been cut out in the most mortifying manner by a man he held in thorough contempt. He felt that, even with what he now knew of Jenny's faults, if he could gain her hand he would carry her off in spite of his rival or the Deacon either. A week passed by and Jenny was never out of niram's thoughts. One day he went to the Tillage, and while there, standing in front of the PostofQcc, Elna than Rogers drove by with the Deacon's mare. " I s'pose now he's got Jenny he thinks he's got a right to the whole property," muttered Hiram. "I wish to gracious the old mare would put her feet through the dashboard!" That night the singing-school met at the academy. Hiram came late. He used to sit with the tenors just behind Jenny Bates. Now he chose a different seat and tried hard to sing bass. He could not, however, help seeing Elnathan Rogers pass peppermint lozenges to Jenny, and also write something on the blank leaf of her singing-book, which she read and answered. "Of course he'll go home with her to-nieht," thought Hiram. " It'll be the first time I've missed it for a year. He's welcome, though." All intermission he kept his seat and pretended to be very busy looking for some tune in his singing-book that re fused to be found. Jenny did not look at The doxoloey closed the school at last and there ws a grand bustling about the door, and an eager pushing among the young men to make sure of their favorites. Hiram was trying to make his way through the crowd when he found himself at the elbow of Jenny Bates, and the same moment the hatelui voice of Elnathan Rogers waa heard in the words: . , . -w- Shall I see yon home to-night, miss tNo, sir," was the prompt answer, shall walk home alone." Hiram was totally unprepared .fv.i. - : of tier fits." he said to himself. "I for t s one oi ner uu, i The Deacon said she had 'em ; that nobody knew but himself, glad she mittened him. thoueh." The word mitten reminded Hiram that he had left both his on his seat in the school-room, and he stepped back just as the candles were being put out. "Here's Jenny Bates' singing-book," he heard one boy sy to another. " bne went off in such a hurry to-night she for got it." " Give it to me," said Hiram, who re membered what had taken place that evening, and with eager look sought out tbe written messages that had passed between Jenny and his rivaL They were as follows : Tell your father he cheated me when I bought old Jenny. I thought by her name she must be good for something, but she kicks and bites ten times worse than he ever told me. I wish now I had spoken for the Jenny in tbe house instead of the one in the barn. And the answer: I guess the horse is as good as you deserve. As for choosing betwixt the two you mention, you won't be able to do that this year. You have got the only Jenny you can ever get from my father. A lieht broke in upon Hiram. " Well, of all the infernal fools I ever heard of I am the biggest! A dog would have had more sense. It s not too late now, thank Heaven." ThA flonartinir rmMTt e(arol a a TTirom with the singing-book in his hand, rushed down the stairs, two at a time, and up the road which led toward Deacon Isates . it he was not loo late he was nearly so. for Jenny was just opening the gate of the front yard. " Stop, Jenny!" he exclaimed, panting for nreatu. "Here s your singing-book. lou leit it on the seat. X tried to over take you." "You needn't have taken so much trouble, Mr. Jenkins; I guess no one would have stolen it," said Jenny with a great display of dignity, and making a show of going into the house. "Don't, jenny! Wait wait just a minute. I know I've acted like a fool ; but just let me explain. Jenny hesitated a moment, made an other start toward the door, then turned and went back to the gate where the dis comfited Hiram stood waiting. " Well," she said in as freezing a tone as she could command. "JXowaon't look and talk that wav. Jenny Bates. You know I never would have acted as 1 have if I hadn't thought i naa gooa reason for it. I thought you were going to marry Jonathan ltogers. " What business had you to think any Bucn miner' asked Jenny, hnnir un A pretty explanation that is!" and again she turned away from the gate. diod! Ivet me tell vou. (Jan't von listen a minute?" said Hiram in despera tion, ue felt there was no other way than to make a clean breast of it. and plunged into his history at once. Word for word he related the conversation he had heard in the horse-barn, and the ef fect it had upon him. He was deeply in earnest, and in closing humbly appealed for forgiveness. He saw her tremble and put her hands to her face. Poor girl, she pitied him! His heart rose and his hand was upon the gate to open it. when a peal of laughter, louder and onger irom Demg so long pent up. rang out upon the night air, almost startling Hiram out oi his boots and waking the Deacon and his wife from a sound sleep in me upper iront oearoom. up went the window and a night- cappea head was thrust out, with a de mand as to what was the matter. Still Jenny laughed, while Hiram stood silent by the gate, angry and nshaned. not knowing whether to advance or go back At last Jenny found her voice. "tro home, Hiram Jenkins, 6he said; say your prayers and go to sleep, and II you want to say anything more to me come up to-morrow evening after sup per. But mind, don't you go to listening at any horse-barns on your wav home :" and she went off in another peal of aughter. Hiram did not wait to ssy good night. Whether he slept or said his prayers that night is not recorded, but it is an estab lished fact that eight o'clock the next evening found him in Deacon Bates' parlor. The interview was a long and proDauiy an mteresting one, and its un mediate result was that before Thanks giving the Deacon had neither a Jenny in the house nor in the stable. That was years ago, and Hiram has 6ince aone the town some service as se lectman, and is likewise a dignified jus tice of the peace. But in the midst of all his dignities and honors, if he ever happens to insist upon having his own way, the threat of telling about the horse-barn brings him to terms at once. It is the one check to his independence tne magic charm by virtue of which Mrs. Hiram Jenkins wields the household scepter. Hearth and Home. Saved by a Spider. The following singular escape from death of Noah Hopkins is related by his aescenaants, wno voucn lor the accuracy of the incident: Mr. Hopkins, over 100 years ago, resided in Dutchess County, N. Y. After disposing of his property he joined the Susquehanna Company and went to live in the far-famed Wyoming v aney, i'a. me Indians irom the lakes became very troublesome and continued to roam in bands through the white set tlements, ravaging their stocks and crops. One night a sudden and unexpected at tack was made upon the settlement by a 1 large uanu oi iniuriatea savages, and the settlers fled for their lives into the woods and mountains. The Indians pur sued them their war-whoops falling upon tne ears or tne defenseless whites like the cries of wild beasts in search of prey. After roaming about in the dark ness for some hours Mr. Hopkins stum bled over a large log that lay across his pathway, and finding it hollow crept into ii. iiere ne iaia ior several hours. Ine sun had arisen and he was debating wnetner ne naa better continue his march over the mountains, when he heard the footsteps of his pursuers near by and meir suoauea dui animated conversa tion. He felt that his doom was sealed and the cold sweat oozed from his bodv and brow. Weary with their long search, tne incuans sat down on the very log in which Mr. Hopkins was concealed. while their . eyes peered hither and thither, hoping to catch a sieht oi some poor fugitive. Mr. Hop kms heard the bullets rattle in their pouches, and gathered from their broken savage tongue, intermixed with English words, the intelligence that some ot his friends and neighbors had been captured uu Biain. it was a moment oi fearful anxiety. Some of the Indians walked around to the end of the log, and seeing that it was hollow stooped down and looked in. Their companions were called and they all gathered around like hounds witn their game holed, as if ready to shoot the moment it emerged. The In dians seemed to be holding a brief con sultation. Mr. Hopkins was just on the point of surrendering himself and beg ging for mercy on the ground of his many kind acts in former times to the Indians, when his attention was arrested by a large spider, which was busilv en gaged weaving a large and beautiful web right over the entrance. He threw his tnreads from side to side with great ra pidity, so mat when the Indians came to look in they. too. seemed to notice thi aerial work, and supposed, of course, no one could be concealed within Smn alter they disappeared. After remain ing in this cramped retreat as long as he could endure he came out and waniiprcd for many days in the wilderness, subsist ing on notning but the carcass of a putrid umcjr wnicn ne iounddead. His cloth ing torn into shreds, his body lacer ated, he came once more upon the dwell ings of white men. N. T. Weekly.

One "Western State, or Territory at least, is to make a systematic attempt to destroy the plague of the plains, which our readers are doubtless aware is the insect commonly called the grasshopper, but which is more properly the locust. The fell destroyer which has ravaged the fields of Kansas and Nebraska, eating the substance of the people and creating a famine in what has been called the granary of the nation, has thus far met with no opposition formidable enough to arrest his march. Fire and smoke, tiood and broom, have alike failed to stay the progress of this modern scourge, which sets on " conquering and to conquer." Colorado, which has in the last ten years attracted to itself the bravest sons and fairest daughters of the East, has re solved, however, not to be over-run without a struggle, and she has sum moned to her aid that faithful ally ol man in his warfare against the insect family the English sparrow. A con certed movement to import large num bers of these birds is now on foot in Denver and the first importation, which will include numerous orders, will be made during the summer. We predict success for the plucky Coloradans. The sparrow is the mortal enemy of the grub, grasshopper and other insects, for they are his favorite food and his appetite is voracious. But he will not prove wholly a blessing, this saucy, cheerful little stranger from over the sea. Like his fellow British subject his naturalization is an easy matter and he increases even more rapidly. A few years ago, certainly not more than five, 500 of these little emigrants were invited to take up their abode in Philadelphia, to rescue the shade trees in our streets and parks from the ravages of the disgusting grub that breeds the entomological miller. The 500 did their work well, and the nuisance has been abated and the danger is past, but there are 5,000,000 of the birds now. They fill every tree in the city with their nests, the streets are fuller of them than they are of pedes trians, they forage in the backyard under the nose of Biddy, and pick up their noonday meals on the pavements without fear of the small boy. All this is very agreeable to the dwellers in the citv. The sight of the sturdy, plump little fellows in brown is not unpleasant, and calls up associations for which every city man sighs in vain; their innocent chirping is the sweetest of all street sounds. We give them the right of way ; some of us train vines and cultivate the clematis against the bleak Bides of our houses that they may have a comforta ble home ; and we have seen many a housewife or clean-faced, tidy exile from a land near to the sparrow's native isle sweep the crumbs that have fallen from her own or her mistress' table where the hungry seekers after food might find them. Indeed, we have taken the little strangers to our hearts and fed them with our own hands; but not so the farmers hereabout. The sparrow has multiplied and migrated, and all the country round about now knows him, al though not as well as we do. Still we hear an occasional protest against him from the agriculturist. Where he has not the tender, juicy grub and rich sweepings of the kitchen to eat and grow fat on he helps himself to the equally nutritious grain in the husbandman's fields. The devices that intimidate the crow are wasted on him, and he breeds faster than the enraged bucolic can load and reload his gun. We do not wish to anticipate evil, but wise men tell us that the day wm come wnen the farmers of the sub urban counties will declare that the people of Philadelphia opened a Pan dora's box when they swung back the doors of the cages in which the sparrows were imported. Still, this is something that worries the townsman in a small degree; he has not the grub and he has the bird, a pleasant, companionable sort of fellow, who has added another ele ment to city life and given the streets a new attraction. We believe the Colora dans will like the sparrow too, and that he will exterminate their pests. Certainly he will increase as fast as the grasshop per. The 500 brought to Philadelphia five years ago and their descendents now number, or would number, if a census were taken, more than 30,000,000. If this flock could not cope with the largest army oi locusts mat ever marched across the plains and fell upon fair Nebraska and free Kansas the people of those un fortunate States had best abandon their present homes and in one numerous car avan seek the eastern bank of the Mis sissippi Kiver and the Atlantic slope.

It used to take at least a week to get them ready to cook, and if a woman' time was worth anything they cost more than they come to. My way of doing now is to take on the chop or lower jaw and then set the head on end, and begin at tbe nose with a sharp knife and skin me neaa, wnicn can De aone nicely in five minutes; then by cutting out the in siae oi tne ears, scraping and singeing. it is ready to cook. Then take an ax and chop oft the hoofs from the feet and singe and your week's job is done, except soaking perhaps over night, or as long as you wish. Lor. Cincinnati 1 imee. To Bake Beans.

It was John Randolph, we believe, who said ne would go a mile to kick a sheep. remaps it was because wool was not cotton. We have known men to go a less distance to be kicked bv a mule. We don't blame the mule. A man has no business fooling around somebody's mule that has been abused until it has come to regard every biped it sees, ex cepting always chickens and other birds, as vindictive enemies. Now, mules have some qualities in common with certain men; they love their friends and hate their enemies, and they the mules gen crany get tue better ot their enemies sooner or later. ine iact is, mules are just as you make them. They will do anything in reason for the master who treats them kindly, and everything unreasonable they can to those who abuse them. As farm teams, anywhere south of the latitude of 43, they will do more work than horses, and do it far easier for their driver. They do not require so much care; they subsist on less food; are steadier at the plow; and, as cultivators of the great staple of the West, corn, re quire almost no driving when once they have learned what you want. Their only real disability in the North is that they are susceptible to extreme cold, and are permanently injured thcrc- py. inis is easily ooviatea by giving mem warm shelter in the stable, and clothing when standing to the wagon, exposed to the cold. But who ever saw a mule wilting under the heat of the sun? Turn a horse out on a hot summer day and he will seek the shade. Give a mule his liberty, and, ten to one, he will stretch himself out on the south side of the barn and enjoy himself hugely. Abuse them, and they will kick, if they have to wait ten years to get the chance. Treat them humane ly, and they will work kindly, and will be perfectly innocent of mischief to their master or his man. It is true they are naturally mischievous; that you can not break them of, and " what cannot be cured must be endured." Chicago Tribune. 2. J. G. SCHU MAKER. 3. Sim. B. Chittenden. 4. Archibald M.

For coolness, deliberation and audac ity the burglary of Wertz Bros.' crocery. on Sunday morning, is without a parallel in the criminal history of this country. So deliberate and imnudent was the transaction from beginning to end that it seems like a huge joke. About two o'clock Sunday mornin a gang of thieves, variously estimated from five to eight in number, stole Andrew Smith's horse, hitched him to S. C. Moore's bob sled, and then drove to the west side of Wertz Bros. grocery, southeast corner of the public square. An entrance into the grocery was easily effected throuch a Biue uoor. once insiae ine nre was smothered with salt, and the work of pillage began. Every drawer was ran sacked and the cellar searched. Some change was taken from one of the draw ers and several hams lifted from a barrel in the cellar. Then, to cap the climax, the audacious rascals actually lifted and carried out an iron safe, weighing nearly a.uuu pounas. unce loaded they at tempted to 6tart, but Smith's horse was too conscientious for the business, and refused to pull. Carefully placing him in the stable, they went to David Gettle's stable, over half a mile away, trot out his dray horse, drove up through the heart oi tne village, hitched him to the bob, and away they went. They drove south on Lynn one square, then east on Maple, crossing Main, to near Allen, where they halted, turned the horse adrift, and with in ten rods of Mr. Bars tow's residence deliberately cracked the safe by smash ing the door to smithereens. Alas! for all their pains they found no lucre nothing but books and papers. Aside from the damage to the safe the loss was inconsiderable. It is the impudence of the trick that surprises and astounds everybody They were heard crossing Alain street between two and three o'clock. The safe fell off the boba twice en route, and the thieves carried cord-wood and built up a tramway to aid in reloading. The safe was smashed within ten rods of where Barstow and his family were sleeping. About four o'clock a young man, returning home from a protracted visit to his girl, saw the party at work, but hadn't sufficient curiosity to go over and see what they were working &t.&ryan (Ohio) Democrat. 14 Truth," says a sage, never gets its votaries into tangles; it imprisons no man in the network of his own words." Perhaps not. But if a man told the truth when asked where he gets his winter's wood it might imprison him in something worse than a network of his own words. Tub Paris correspondent of the Kew York Times tells of a bold attempt at stealing a newspaper business, as follows I he American Register has just had an adventure which is probably unique in ine nistory or journalism. A dishon est employe tried to steal the journal Two editions are published, one for Lon don and one for Paris, and the London business clerk took it into his head to appropriate the" former. He got up paper called the American Traveler, a fac simile of the Register in everything but this one word, and which would deceive anyone when folded upon the news stands, lie copied all the advertisements and then called upon the advertisers to read a letter from the proprietor, as he alleged, which said that the Hcaister was to be withdrawn in favor of the journal he exhibited. Many of the advertisers were taken in, as this man had lone been dealing with them for the Register. The. curious part of the affair is that it came very near succeeding." opnng is coming; now glad are many hearts that it is so.

They were awarded the first and highest medal. Other American organs in competition were declared to be far less meritorious, the tones and workmanship being both inferior. In comparison, it was said : "Judged leniently, they do not rise above a respectable mediocrity." This was undoubtedly the most e'xtensive, thorough and competent comparison of such instruments ever made.
