THE NEW COOKING STOVE.
BY CLARA AUGUSTA.
Mrs. Job Bangs 'was .possessed of a
spirit an evil spirit, Mr. Bangs said;
bat then men are so prone to indnlge in
extravagant expressions, that it is not
well to place too much dependence in
what they say.
Mrs. Bangs' greatest ambition was to
possess a peculiar kind of cooking store
the counterpart of which presided, in
black and glossy self-satisfaction, over
the cleanly kitchen hearth of Mrs.
Judge Marlowe's grand establishment.
"Queen of the World" was the title
in which the interesting stove rejoiced.
The queen herself was possessed of
as many dampers, grates, heaters, flues,
ovens, and nondescript poke-holes, as a
twenty-horse-power engine; and scien
tific old Watt himself would have been
puzzled in comprehending the use of
her "heat refractors" and "steam gener
ators." But Mrs. Marlowe fancied the stove
and, surely, Mrs. Judge Marlowe
ought to know about a stove and the
consequence was poor Bangs could
never retire to bed without having
"that stove, dear Job," dinged in liis
ears.
There is a period to human endur
ance, and the time ab length came when
Bangs could hold out no longer, but
consented to make his wife the happiest
of her sex forthwith. And three
days afterward the deed was ac
complished; a magnificent Qrteen
of the World, which cost forty-five
dollars, was installed on Mrs. Bangs'
hearth, and the delighted lady would
not hare changed places with the Presi
dent's wife.
The man who set up the stove asked
Mrs. Bangs if .she knew how to manage
it. She laughed in his face. Know
how to manage a stove ? Of course she
did! Why shouldn't she? And before
her lofty mien of injured dignity, the
stove man shrank away abashed.
It was in July, pleasantly hot, and
dinner was to be prepared for the six
hired men who made Mr. Bangs' farm
blossom like the rose.
Mrs. Bangs cogitated on the subject
of dinner for a few moments, and finally
decided on boiled potatoes, stewed eab-
l,,OV f.nA.1 MA.I. M.l f.AWka.,., .!. n m.
issc;, Hutu pvin, nuu uuuiun jjiiuuiug, j
with hot coffee, etc.
"Come, Bangs, love," said .she cheer
fully, "make a fire, while I clap on the
kettles and sec to things, and you shall
soon have a dinner worth eating.'
Bangs flew to do her bidding, but
after opening and shutting several
doors, with the kindlings in his hands,
he was still undecided, ana called his
wife out of the meal closet.
See here, Sarah, can you tell me
where to build the fire?"
"Why, in the place for it, to be sure,"
replied she.
"Yes, deary, I've no doubt of that,"
remarked the perplexed Bangs; "but
according to my idee, it would take a
college learnt man to find out which
the place is!"
"Why, the one where the grate is, of
course !" said Mrs. Bangs.
"Well, there are just seven holes with
grates in 'em, and three things that look
like strainers; according io my idee, I
can't tell t'other from which."
"Stand round, Job; I'll soon find out.
Why, Bangs, it's strange that you can't
see into nothing; this is the place rite
here in front. In with the kindlings,
and be spry about it; it's a'most leven
o'clock now."
So Bangs put in the kin
dlingsa generous quantity of shav
ings, some pitch-wood and a
hemlock knot applied a match,
and stood by to watch the result. The
fire sputtered and hissed; a glorious
smoke arose, and poured out of every
nook and cranny of the queen. Poor
Bangs' eyes were rapidly changing to
pools of watery tears, and his sense of
vision fled completely.
"Good gracious!" screamed Mrs.
Bangs "Job, you've set the house
afire!"
"No, I haint," stammered Job, wip-'
ing his eyes on his coat-sleeve. "Ac
cording to my idee, it's that confounded
stove!"
"Mercy on us ! Where's the damper ?
where's the draft? where's the air
slide? Job, Job, where are you, that
you don't do something? The new
whitewash will be ruined in thisi
smoke!".
Mrs. Bangs stood with her apron over
her head, and Bangs managed to get up
to a window, at which he obtained some
relief. In a few moments the kindlings
had burned out, and the smoke sub
sided. There was no draft; but the
fir had been made in the wronir ulace.
and now Job set about systematically
to find the right one, by trying a hand
ful of shavings in each cavity of tho
complicated queen.
Fortune favored him, & rh$ always
doe) the brave, and finally Job could
have shouted "Eureka" if lie had
thought of it. The tire burned .splend
idly S Thenrimiirous grates glowed
the water iu the kettles sizzled Mrs.
Bangs wis Radiant and the "spitler" of
pork and lard boiled charmingly !
But suddenly, just as Mrs. Bangs was
congratulating herself in being the
most favored woman iu the universe,
the stove gave a lurch its three long
legs quivered ami trembled the for
ward one dropped oVlt the immacu
late Queen of the Worltt tottered on her
throne For n second ouly then over
she went-, kettles ami stewpans! The
pot was in the fire, and the tire took
royal advantage of it.' The blaze
steamed up the chimney, igniting the
soot, and sending a column of flame ten
feet out of the top of the chimney.
The observant neighbors screamed
"fire" at the height of their Voices
the school children across the way
took Up the cry Mrs. Bangs was
ankle-deep hi hot water and floating
potatoes the house dog lay prostrate
under the ruins, howling with fright
and pain and Mr. Bangs had lied to
the elevation of the kitchen table, from
whence he was comfortably surveying
the scene being seated in the brond
dish of hominy pudding which his wife
had prepared for baking.
The cries of fire called out the en
gine company ever prompt in danger
and stripping down Mr. Bangs' fence,
they hurried their machine through a
fine field of corn, and up to the house.
Just as they arrived, covered with per
spiration and out of breath, Mrs. Bangs
made her exit from the kitchen, scream
ing and wringing her hands in the wild
est agitation.
The zealous captain of the company
was a little near-sighted, and supposing
the lady's clothing to be on fire, he
seized the end of a hose already filled,
and let fly the whole stream of water
over her person ! The shock knocked
her over instantly, and after a few
somersaults she came to a halt in the
rain-water cistern, from whence she was
afterward fished out half drowned and
considerably indignant.
The grand uproar aroused a high
spirited bull that was confiued in an ad
jacent yard, the red uniforms of tho
firemen inspired his bnllship with just
wrath, and after a half-dozen premoni
tory bellows, he gave a tremendous
leap, and cleared the barring.
Captain, privates and populace, aston
ished and terrified, fled before that ele
vated head and those smoking nostrils
fled ingloriously, leaving Bangs'
chimney to burn out without help all
except Judge Marlowe, who, being a
dignified man, did not compromise his
dignity until the last, when he went
through his best paces, but in vain.
The bull singled him out from the
others, caught him on his horns, and
tossed him into the pig-pen, where the
irate mother of ten promising porcine
little ones nearly finished him. In
fact, the Judge would never have conic
out of that hog's yard alive had not
Mrs. Bangs, recovering from her tem
porary fright, gone to the rescue with
the mop-handle.
The bull, after scattering all in
truders, turned his attention to the
engine which was left behind, ami
never were the walls of. a beleaguered
city battered and charged more zeal
ously than he charged that non-resistant
"masheen." Mr. Bangs came down
from his perch as soon as the crowd had
dispersed, and secured the quadruped,
now pretty well blown, from his extra
ordinary exertions.
"The Queen of the World" was sold
for old iron, and Mrs. Baugs cooks un
inurmuringly over the little old con
trivance of. a stove that she has had for
a dozen years.
Bangs says that, "according to his
idee, these ere new-faugled stoves ain't
the thing; they're great cry and little
wool."
HE HAD X CHOICE IX THE MAT
IKMt. A lady entered one of the most fash
ionable stores iu town, a few days ago,
and told the tall and urbane clerk, wlio
waited upon her, that she wished to
look at some crevvets.
uicncis. i cru(.cTv& iuc i;iuiaY
"crevvets? Do you mean cravats?"
"I do not mean cravats; I mean crev
vets." The clerk was greatly puzzled; then
a bright thought struck him. "Which
style would you prefer ?" ho asked.
"Oh, I don't care; those big ones
that go over the shirt bosom, or those
that go around the neck and tie in a
bow or a knot."
The clerk at once pulled down the
boxes of cravats and began to display
tho different styles. He kindly tied
several of them on his own nock to
show their effect. "Do you like them
bright or quiet?" he asked.
"Oh, rather quiet," said the lady.
"Quiet, eh? Perhaps you know what
your friend's taste is; perhaps he'd like
this one, now; has he any choice in the
matter?"
"Well, no, I don't believe he has.
You see he's a corpse, and we" the
clerk fainted and the cash boy whis
tled "Annie Laurie." Buffalo Cou

"Do you think that I could ever"
here his voice faltered and a sudden
emotion seemed to swallow his words.
"Could ever what, George?"
"That I could ever "
"Yes."
"Do you think that I could ever get
used to your father's ways?"
Just then there was a dim rattling in
the furnace room, the gas flickered
glimmeringly and almost weut out,
then flared up again, as if .some one
were tampering with the meter, while
dire dismal words came 'through the
register.
She let a little sob escape her and
replied :

Mr. Hakes Luck.
It was current on the streets of Caito the
day following: the greut December drawing
of tho Louisiana State Lotterv. that one
foitictu uf ticket IKS.4.V) that drew the capital
lrize was held here.'btit some ilurs elapsed
before it was known who.hchl it. 'Finallv it
was retiorti'd that Mr. Z. A. Hakes, a sub
iontractoriuuler Little k. Grceiilov. on the
Cache leveo work, was tho Itickv man. and
that ho hall jrone to New Orleans to draw
his money. Learnins: yesterday that Mr.
Hake was iu town, stopping at Uncle JoeV
hotel, tho Argus sent a reporter to interview
him:
Mr. Hakes isaquiet.Miiall. plain-appearing
innn. about 50 years of age. Ho is au intel
ligent, energetic man that one would take to
be well suited to his business. He is averse to
notoriety, but does not hesitate to tell tho
facts in regard to his windfall. As re
ported, ho held one-fortieth of tho ticket
that drew -SGOO.OUO in the December
drawing of the Louisiana State Lottery,
and had been down to New Orleans and
collected his money. $13,000. Ho went by
the Mobile & Ohio road. Upon arriving in
the Crescent city ho proceeded to the office
of tho Lotiisiuti State Lottery, where he
presented his fractional ticket, and without
any troublo got the largo sum of money it
ealledlor. He-apprehended that identillea
tiou would be necessary, but was told in the
office thut possession of the ticket was all
that was necessary.
He was afterwards tho recipient of court
esies at the hands of the lottery ofllcials,
who deemed him their guest, as one who
had eomo a long distance to transact busi
ness with them, and of additional interest
to them ns- one taking a portion of the great
capital prize of their December drawing.
His praise of the hospitality they extended
to him is unstinted.
Mr. Hakes deposited his money in a Cairo
bank, and it is safe to say will use it to the
best advantage for hifnsHf. Cairo III.)

TALK IS
J but it will only take ft minute in which to state n few f.lfcts. that, if heeded,
j will prove invaluable to ntaivy. It's well-known that the press teems with
i advertisements of sarsaparilhis' ami other liver, blood and ltinjr remedies; for
; which rreat claim are made. They are generally represented as sure cures.
' But there is ohc medicine, and only one. the claims for which as a cure for all
lingering diseases arising from Torpid Liver or Ililiousness, or from impure
blood, arc backed up by a positive guarantee ! If it don't do just as represented
; in every case, the money paid for it h promptly refunded.
This peculiar method of business, it will readily be seen, would bankrupt
the manufacturers of the ordinary medicines in the market. Only a marvclously
etiicacious medicine, containing "the most posiltie curative properties, could
sustain itself under such trying conditions as these.
Tiiis peculiar medicine sells beyond all others throughout the civilized
world. And why should it not ? "Talk is cheap,"' but when its backed up
by a positive guarantee, by a bouse of long established reputation, for hon-
i est, integrity and sound financial standing, then words mean business I And
I that's just what the World's Dispensary Medical Association, of Buffalo, N. Y.,
mean "in guaranteeing their Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery to do all
1 that it is recommended to do. or refund the price paid for it.
I Dr. Pierce's tJolden Medical Discovery checks the frightful inroads of
Scrofula, and, if taken in time, arrests the march of Consumption of tho

all Skin and Scalp Disease?. Ulcers. Sores, Swellings, and kindred ailments. It

it strengthens the system ami restores vitality, thereby dispelling all those
