John' Qctxcy Smith's Tuck Love.
Monday afternoon a young man named
John Quincy Smith, who works in a car
riage factory, called upon Justice Potter
and asked His Honor to appear at a certain
house on Macomb street at a certain hour
that evening and weld two heart9 together.
"The Court" said he'd bs on lime, and he
was, but he found the lover looking discon
solate and the bride's mother looking flush
ed and annoyed.
'Isn't this the place where 1 was toeouie
nnd unite two sympathetic souls ?' inquir
ed Mr. Potter iu an anxious voice, thi.ikiu j
he might have made a mistake
'You see, I'll tell you how it is, ox
plained the old lady. Ietsy Jane's young
and foolish, and she's afraid some one will
make fua of her if she gits married !
IJis Honor thought it was rather strange,
and went off, feeling about as blue as the
lover fclL Wednesday morning Johu
Quincy entered Justice alley again to tell
Mr. Totter that he could come up to the
house that evening, and that there wouldn't
be any backing out again.
It's dead sure, is it 5' asked His Hon
or. 'You can bet on it,' replied John Quin
cy ; br-l a hundred to one."
His Honor was on hand again at the ap
pointed hour, and he found the lover and
the mother looking as sad as before. The
girl herself was concealed behind the door,
and as soon as Potter entered, the mother
pulled the door tuck so as to expose the
hidcr, and exclaimed :
'Now, then, Judge, look at her look at
the big booby, and sen what a fool she is
making of Lcrself !'
The girl made a skip and jumped under
the centre-table, nnd from thence shouted
back :
I hain't any more of a fool than you are,
and you know it !'
'Then why don't you come out and get
married !' asked the parent.
'Do you s'ose I want to !e made fun
of!' squeaked the daughter.
After awhile the justice put in his voice J
telling the girl that it was the lot of woman
to marry ; that she'd live a happy life, and
that it wouldn't take two minutes to lie the
knot.
Come, Betsy Jans !' called the mother.
Come, my own Jove !' pleaded John
Quincy.
'Corac, my dear girl !' added the Justice,
raising the table-spread and extending his
hand.
Ob, go away ! sh sobbed, hands over
her face, 'go away and leave me here to
die ! I can't bear to think of gitt'.n' jined
and lcavin' mother !'
Tbey coaxed and pleaded and scolded, I
but Betsy Jane was firm, and she was still !
resting under the table when his Honor
left. John Quincy put on his hat aud
walked down the street a piece, and when I
Potter remarked that he guessed there i
wouldn't be any marrying in that house, ;
the 3'oung man responded :
'That's what I think, and I wouldn't i
turn my hand over if I knew that a buzz- j
saw was a-ooruing flat, for me.'JMroit j
iW ZVr.t.
A I'oon but honest Teuton unwittingly j
created no little excitement and alarm in a !
Xcw York tramway car not long ago. The
correspondent of a Boston journal shall ex- j
plaiu how this occurred. He writes : j
'One of our railroads runs by the County j
Buildings. The other day the conductor j
was collecting fares from a crowded load. !
A foreign person, poorly dressed, handed j
up his money. In answer to the question,
'Do you go through ?' which means. Ho j
you go beyond the city line ? he said, 'I i
have got de small pox, doo !' 'Have you :
got the spall-pox ?' said the astonished i
conductor. 'Yes I have got de tmaII-iox, i
loo.' The passengers rose to their feet ; j
women screamed, and the excitement was
intense. 'Come, get out of this car; you
can't ride here !' said the official. The
unfortunate German made for the front
platform. He was hustled out of the car,
and nearly pitched headlong on to the
pavement. He recovered himself, and
started for the front of the car. The driver
took the car-hook and threatened to 'brain'
I.im if lie got on. The poor fellow kept up
with the horses, shouting, 'I '11 go ; give me
my small pox ! pointing to a small two-foot-square
chest standing on end beh.nd
the driver. The mystery was explained.
The honest German wanted to pay for his
mall box on the car as well as his own
fare. The conductor nnolo&ized. and a '
seat was offered the man. I5ut lie had
r.r.,i. ,.r iKo. it r I.i '!
enough of that company. He refused all ;
invitations to ride, shoulaered his 'small i
pox,' and trudgca away on loot.
He Scalped Heh. Yesterday while !
the gale was at iU height a curious aeci- :
dent occurred on Uuiou street. A uohby-1
looking Chinaman, was walkiug behind a
young lady dressed in the extreme agony j
of fashion, when a sudden gust of wind j
blew the Celestial's tail forward and wrap-!
... , , , . . I
ped the end of it around the lady's neck. I
Being frightened she grabbed the end of!
the queue to snatch ir. away but she pulled !
in the wrong direction. The Chinaman ;
also made u grab to recover his property,
blithe was out of luck, as lie "ot hold of:
one of thow long curls which arc usually j
n !
Seen hanging down from waterfalls, as well i
asofhisoueue, and when he took a pull 1
rhis queue, and when he took a pull 1

hair on it only a hUle that was into a small j
knot that stood erect like the scalpilock of i
a Piute brave. If ever I saw a Chinaman i
flStouished at what he had done, it was ;

Well,' said the doctor, 'first procure u i

Dr. .). Walker's California Vine-
par Hitters are a purely Vegetable
preparation, made chiefly from the nativo
herbs found on the lower ranges of the
Sierra Nevada mountains of California,
the medicinal properties of vrhich are
extracted therefrom without the use of
Alcohol. The question is almost daily
asked, " What is the cause of the unpar
alleled success of Vinegar Bitters ! "
Our answer is, that they remove the
cause of disease, and the patient recov
ers his health. They are the great
blood purifier and a life-giving princi
ple, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator
of the system. Nover before in the his
tory of the world has a medicino been
compounded possessing the remarkable
qualities of YrxEGAR Bitters in healing
the sick of every diseaso man is heir to.
They are a gentle Purgative as well aa a
Tome, relieving Congestion or Inflammation
of the Liver and Visceral Organs in Bilious
l)ieascs.
The properties of Db. Walker's
Visegaii Bitters are Aperient, Diaphoretic,
Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Binretie,
Sedative, Counter-Irritant, Sudorific, Altera
tive, and Anti-Bilious.
Grateful Thousands proclaim Vix
noAit Bitters the most wondarful Invigor
ant that ever sustained the sinking system.
tt'o Person can take these Bitters
according to directions, and remain long
unwell, provided their bones are not de
stroyed by mineral poison or other means,
and vital organs wasted beyond repair.
Bilious, Remittent, and Inter
mittent Fevers, which are so prev
alent in the valleys of our great rivers
throughout the United States, especially
those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri,
Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan
. Eas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Eio Grande,
Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro
anoke, James, and many others, with
their vast tributaries, throughout our
entire country during the Summer and
Autumn, and remarkably so during sea
eons of unusual heat and dryness, are
invariably accompanied by extensivf
derangements of the stomach and liver,
and other abdominal viscera. In their
treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow
erful influence upon these various or
gans, is essentially necessary. There is
no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr.
J. Walker's Vixegar Bitters, as
they will epeedily remove the dark
colored viscid matter with which the
bowels are loaded, at tho same tim
stimulating the secretions of the liver,
and generally restoring the healthy
functions of the digestive organs. 6
Fortify the body against disease
by purifying all its fluids with Vixegab
Bitters. No epidemic can take hold of
a system thus fore-armed.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head
ache Pain in tho Shoulders, Coughs,
Tightness of tho Chest, Dizziness. Sour
Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in
the Month, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation
of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs,
Pain in the region of tho Kidneys, and a
hundred other painful symptoms, are
tho offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle
will prove a better guarantee of its
merits than a lengthy advertisement.
Scrofula, or King's Evil, White
Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled
Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations,
Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Affec
tions, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin,
Sore Eyes, etc., etc. In these, as in all
other constitutional Diseases, Walker's
Yjxecar Bitters have shown their
great curative poweis in the most ob
stinato nnd intractable cases.
For Inflammatory and Chronic
Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit
tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases
of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Blad
der, these Bitters have no equal. Such
Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood.
Kechanical Diseases. Persons en
gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as
Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters,
and Miners, as they advance- ia life, are
subject to paralysis of tho Bowels. To
guard against this, take a dose of Walk
er's Vinegar Bitters occasionally.
For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tet
ter, Salt-Khenm, Blotches, Spots, Pimples,
I'listtiles, Boils. Carbuncles, Ring-worms,
Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch,
Scurfs, Discoloration of the Skin, Uumors
and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name
or nature, arc literally dug up and carried
out of the pystem ia a short time by the uso
of these Bitters.
Pin, Tape, aud other TVorms,
lurkins'in the system of so many thousands,
are effectually destroyed and removed. No
system of medicine," no vermii'upes, no tin
thelniiuities will free tho system from worms
like these Bitters.
For Female Complaints, in young
or old. married or single, at the dawn of wo
manhood, or the turn of life, these Tonic Bit
ters dispLiy so decided an influence that im
provement is soon perceptible.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when
ever you find its impurities bursting through
the skin in Fimples, Eruptions, or Sores;
cleanse it when you find it obstructed and
sluppish in the veins ; cleanse it when it is
foul; yonr feelings will tell you when. Keep
the blood pure, and the health of tLc system
will follow.

Eggs in Winter. As this is the season of the
year when the usual cry is beard that egg3 are
so scarce it is impossible to procure fresh ones, a
little care and attention would obviate all the
difficulty. The secret lies in this, that the bens
at this season of the year are deprived of that
variety of food so favorable to the production of
eggs, and as all vegetable rood, as well as worms
and insects, lhive. disappeared, their places must
be supplied, as far as possible, from the stores
of the household. Every little bit left on the
plates after meals are favorite morsels, and SvVsr"
clover hay cut line, together with the fat irife.
grcese skimmings of boiled meat or from
dripping pan, when luixed wish meal, are ee.jl
ly devoured by the heus after being satiated with
corn. See how eagerly tney strip the leaves
from every plant that show? the least sign of
life, and how carefully they look oier every scra)
of cabbage or other esculent from the house.
Even the cleanings of fiah and' game, and every
little bit of meat that can be spared are eagerly
devoured. All these should be given them, and
should there be a scarcity, the green grocers and
butchers should be visited, and the more unsale
able portions of meat and the scraps of skinny
fat, Ac, (gencral'y thrown by for the chandlers
use) should be bought and given to the hens.
Should a little such care and forethought be
practiced generally, no family need go without
eggs at this season of the year, and could pro
cure them at one half the usual cost. Nor is
there a housewife who would not cousider it
rather a pleasure than a tusk to spend a little
such extra pains in procuring such needed ail
ment in order lo accomplish so desirable an ob
ject. But when the hens are allowed to get their
food at haphazard, or as best they can, it is rea
sonable to suppose that the supply of eggs will
be proportionably scarce. Baltimore Ai.ievictM.
The Tramp or the Fat Cattle. English
farmers manage oue way and another to extract
a good deal of recreation out of their business.
It is not all work with them, and among "davs j
off" the numerous fairs and exhibitions afford sl'"v '
r . . . 5 -
irequcni oceasious ror amusement. Their usual vv
ycarly fat cattle shows have just ended. These,
being purposely so timed, give opportunity for a
sort or hippodrOffie"ttl!air, tn which a procession
of stock parades the country from one end to the
other, tiic same animuls "starring it" by easy
stages at contiguous towns, until Anally the
company, which started at York or Manchester,
ends at London, where It reaches its climax at
the great Smithfield show. Thus the same ani
mal often takes a succession of prizes, and its
owner nets a considerable profit on his venture,
a curious fact is that the same animal rarely
gets the first premium at two places ; the first
al one being last at another, and the last first.
This illustrates the adage, "many men, many
minds," and proves that opinions differ. Thus -the
cow which stood foremost at the York show ?
came second at Manchester, first again at Biri' '
mingham.
The most notable feature of this latest acecs
siou of shows was tbe decadence of the Here-
fords and the restoration to the Trout rank every
where or the Shorthorns. The Devons are also
gradually retiring before the more popular
breed; and it seems likely that these useful cat
tie are destined to go out of f ivor entirely. At
Birmingham, which was OBe of the most Im
portant shows of the series, there were only two
classes, oxen aud cows, opened for the once pop
ular and always handsome Devons. At this
show a Syrian sheep was exhibited of the fat
tailed species, furcisbed behind with an appen
dage weighing thirty pounds, aud large enongb.
to fill a bushel basket. At the Smithfield show
there was an ox five years old, said to be the
finest specimen of a shorthorn since the famons
Durham ox, broe" by Chas. Colling. As a proof
of the benefit from crossbreeding may be in
stanced the fact that a first-prize animal this
year at this show is a brother to a first-prize-laker
last year, and both are. bred from .mix
ture of the three fashionable Bates, Booth and
Knightly families of shorthorns.
Among the sheep the chief facts of importance
are the continued appreciation of the Shrop
shires, and the great increase in size of the speci
mens of the large breeds. Three Leicestor shear
lings weighed 6sf2 pounds, and three Catswolds
SCO pounds, three ofthe Lincolns only exceeding
these by 27 pounds. One item of interest, how
ever , may be mentioned, viz., that there, was
scarcely a pen of sheep that was not got np for
show by some trick, such as "stubble shearing,"
"trimming ami dyeing," "bleaching," "smut
ting," or "smearing," "gravel tinging," or
blacking.'' Another curiosity of the reports
which are full of the slang enrreni with stock
men is the "descriptive remarks," which are
often absurdly ridiculous. Thus w read of "a
feast of ample sized level forms," "of shoulders
filled up like an egg," of "LadyIand's over
loaded rumps and grand "rounds," and "Bella's
level carcass upon a short leg and grand full
bosom" all of which and much more of the
same sort might be characterized as "to the
Greeks, foolishness." Tribune.
How Long Shoclt Cows be Milked I A
dairyman, in the course of an article to the Bos
ton Ctdtinttor, deprecates the practice of milking
cows close np to the time of calving, and favors
their being dried off about four months before.
During the last fonr months the growth of tha
fretus and its appendages draws largely upon
the system of the cow, and she is doing all that
should be required of her to maintain the growth
without being culled upon to give miik at the
same time. To ersi6t in milking, he contends,
is highly injurious to the cow as well as to the
future calf. Flint, who is an anthority upon
this subject, claims that cows which milk clear
np to the time of c.ilving are in some way di
seased or disordered, and their milk is unwhole- .
some.
HOUSEHOLD.
Remains ok Roast Bf.ef. To make a deliclons
dish at small expen se, from the remains of yes
terday's dinner, the following receipt is offered :
Take off with a sharp knife all the meat from
the bones. If there are a few nice slices, reserve
them, if most convenient, to be eaten cold. Chop
the rest fine in a tray. Take cold gravy, with
out the fat, and pnt in a spider to beat. If yon
have not this, some of the stock, or water in
which the meat has been boiled. When it boils
np sprinkle in salt, and pnt in the minced meat ;
cover it and let it stand npon the fire long
enough to heat thoroughly, then stir in a small
piece of butter. Toast bread and lay in a dish
and pnt the meat over it. The common error In
heating over meat, sliced oe minced, Is the put
ting it into a cold spider, with too much fat, and
cooking it a long time. This makes it oily and
tasteless. Almost all meats when cooked a
second time should be done very quickly. The
goodness of these dishes depends much upon
their being tervtil hot. The rare portions of a
rib roast which may not be consumed the day it
is cooked may be treated as follows : Cut in very
j mill aiice tut; very rare iifruuiis ui iuc ucri,aou
frizzle them in bntter over a quick flro and serve
hot. For breakfast there is nothing nicer.
Valuable Recipe. The following was given
us by a mother whose iufant -child, she ia sure,
has been cured of a wasting diarrhea by its use.
In many cases of this kiud it has been found an
invaluable remedy when all others have failed
In one pint of port wine dissolve a half pomjdW
loaf sugar; mix with a tablespoonfnl of flour
three or four of water ; stir till smooth ; add this
to tbe wine and sugar, and scald all together.
Keep in a cool place. For a dose give a tea
spoonful three or four times a day. The port
wiue must be genuine, not a mixture of log
wood and bad wbisky. T rifntnt.
Eoo Cake. Two cups of sugar, one egg, a
piece of butter the size of an egg, one cup o
sour milk, one tablespoonful of soda, a little sal.
and nutmeg, one tablespoonful of lemon, three
cups of flour ; beat the whole of the egg sepa
rately, the sngar and yolk and butter together ;
bake in a thoroughly heated oven.
Potato Yeast. Grate flue three medium
sized potatoes, pour over them a pint of boiling
water, add a tablespoonful each of sugar ant'
salt, and when cool stir iu one-half enp of yeast
When it has fermented bottle tightly, keep in t
