S lent, alone imoug the inoorlan 1 flowers, Pa*otinaker, who really began to find that he must have been, at some period of his life, a military man. And after being Introduced to Captain liobbs as Major de Boots, who was "de lighted," found himself tete-a-tete with a very lovely young French lady, who ad dressed him as "General do Buta," and whom, at the request of his hostess, whom he had never seen before, and who hail no idea who he was, he took down to supper. Somehow this stranger in his mixed suit, and with his sulky air, had oeen set down as a most eccentric and distinguished mili tary man by everybody. Ho was regarded with attention, listened to with reverence when he condescended to say a few words. The French lady introduced him volumin ously as General de Buta; and tiius wtis he addressed thereafter. The waiters of fered him champagne frequently, and the bootmaker gradually grew exhilerated. Never had he Iteeu present at such elegant festivities. Never had he partaken of such viands —been so overwhelmed with festivi ties. Never had sir lovely a creature leaned on his arm. Never had he tasted such wine. At first it exhilerated him, then it mounted to his head, and suddenly it ap peared to him that his host was a glorious fellow, and that he was under infinite obli gations to him. Doubling his fist, he brought it down upon the table with a crash that made the glaases ring again. "Better man than Cheat em don't live!" cried he. 4 1 agree with you," replied his neighbor, politely. "Ah! I adore such enthusiastic friend ship, such lof like Damou aud Pythias in ze play," ejaculated the French lady. "Ho v original! flow delightfully eccen tric! A perfect military man," whispered others. Meanwhile the bootmaker, staggering to bis teet, made his way, as best he might, loward his host. "Cheatem," he cried,look here! 1 came" —here he reeled and caught at a table—"l came to give you this—before every (hie) everybody " And he held out his folded bill, which Mr. Cheatem instantly took. "Now I—l wouldn't (hie) do it —for— for—" Mr. Cheatem beckoned two waiters. "My dear old friend," he said, "you're not quite well. Let these men put you iu a carriage, and go home. 11l call ou you to-morrow. So glad to have seen you. As for this —pooh ! pooh! The waiters led the bootmaker from the room, after their host hail whisj>ered a di- j rection to lie given the driver. And Mr. Cheatem thus addressed his friends: 44 You must not think ill of my old friend for this little lapse of his. After the trials of military life it is ouly to be expected that his habits should not be those of quiet civikans, and 'tis his only weakness." "One forgives everything iu a soldier," remarked a lady. "A very ordinary failing for a military man," responded a gentleman. "Andto think the honest creature should have remembered so slight an indebted ness as this, and lieeu so anxious about it," j sighed Mr. Cheatem, as he put the shoe- 1 maker's receipted bill into his pocket. How the Fooler wan Fooled. • A party on the West Hill did not make 1 much by fooling his wife. When he went home late, waiting until after twelve o'clock so as to plav the joke, he rang the door liell. and answered "April fool" when she appeared at the door. His wife laughed over the joke, and it was soon forgotten. About two o'clock in the morning our friend was awakened by his wife, who in formed him that there was something wrong with the horse at the barn. She held the lamp while he went out to see. As poou as he had gone a short distance, he 4< smelled a mice!' and returned to find the door locked. He knocked, pounded, kicked, hut it did no good, lie went around to the bedroom window and could hear his wife breathing regularly, us though quietly sleeping. He could not go down towu for he was en dishabille. Finally, tapping on the window he geutlv called : "Dear! " 4 4 Yes." "Let me in ! * "Will you promise never to try to April fool me again ? " "Yes." "Will you get me that new bouuot ?" 44 Yes." There was a turning of bolts, and the man, who had gone home happy with the thought of fooling his wife, passed in and retired. But we will wager that the party who informed its will die if he is found out. Shaking Tli*ir Relations, One of the most remarkable things noticeable in social life is the unanimity with which people shake their relatives. Recently a gentleman arrived in Carson with a letter of introduction to one of our leading citizens from the citizen's uncle. After the Carsonite read the letter he re marked: "Glad to see you, sir. Glad to see any l>ody who knows my uncle in Cleveland. How are all the folks?" "Splendid. I spent six weeks there last fall, and I don't really think I ever met such a fine family of genial, hospitable and cultivated people." "Yes?" 44 Yes, indeed —I never spent a pleasanter time in my life. Your relatives are, indeed, the—" "Well, young man. if my relatives are such fine people they must have changed like thunder since I lived with them there a year, and I think they are about the worst pelicans in the deck. I wouldn't spend a month with the crowd for the whole town of Cleveland." "Indeed," said the other. "Well, since you've been so candid about it I might as well remark right here that your uncle and his whole family are the toughest collect ion of old fossils I have ever had the mis fortune to be steered against." "Put it there, young man —you show good sense. Let's go out and take a sorne- I thing." In a few minutes more the two men were pledging perdition to the Cleveland relatives over a foaming schooner of Carson beer, A Lawyer's Predicament. What is known as Iho "Western Hotel game" was tried on an ordiuarily sharp Boston lawyer recently, and was frustrated through the shrewdness of a bank cashier, but lei the extreme discomfiture of the law yer. The operator was a young aud at tractive woman, and the victim was Charles K. Allen, huvlng an office in Pem- Inrton Square. The developement of the case was full of surprise to all concerned. Late one afternoon the young woman in quest ion drove up in a carriage to the I National Security Bank, on Court street, ! and on entering the bank presented a check for #l,OOO, signed bv Charles E. Allen. The gentleman ha 9 had frequent dealings with the bank, and from the fact that some time ago several blank checks had been stolen from his check-book, and a few had Ih'i'u subsequently presented at different places for payment with forged signatures, the hank officers were particularly cau tious in paying out money on checks pur porting to lie drawu by him aud presented by si rangers. Accordingly the cashier, Mr. Charles R. Batt,when the check wus presented, became at once suspicious, and stepped to the President to ask whether he should give the money. As the woman was giving the closest attention at the time, the President thought it pru dent to reply in the affirmative. As soou as the teller had lieguu count ing out the bills the cashier slipped out of the hank unperceived, ami hastened to the detectives' headquarters in Pember ton Square. Utficers Wade and Uersom immediately hurried to the scene of the transaction, and, as bnt a few moments had passed since the presentation of the check, the woman was "still there. After the olficers had atationeJ themselves out side, the cashier entered anil informed the woman that no payment would lie made. She then started to leave, and was arrested by the detectives, who took her to their of fice. On the way she attempted to swallow the paper that had caused so much trouble, but this was prevented. The woman gave the name of Louisa Silvan, aud on search ing her, keys were found to rooms in the Revere House. Then followed the sur prises. The detectives first went to the lawyer's office in Peinbertou Square, confi dent that he would prove the signature on the check as a forgery. But ttie lawyer whs out. They then repaired to the Re vere House, and in answer to an inquiry if Dmisa Silvan was stopping there, was shown to an apartment in the hotel Un locking the door with the keys which had liecn found, what was the detectives' as tonishment al discovering the very lawyer of whom they had lieen in search, without his coat and appearing very much ashamed at being caught in the predicament. Questioning Liui, the detectives were told that he bail been invited by the woman to ca!l at her room to see about the purchase of ; some real estate. He complied with her request, and once at the hqto( the woman induced him to remove * ITWroat. Then, lie fore he was aware of her design, she had llirown that garment into her trunk and locked it. Turning upon the liewildered lawyer, she demanded #lO,(Kk) or threat ened to ring the bell and call the jiolice. Finally she reduced the sum to #l,OOO, aud a check for the amount was given her, when she left, taking the precaution to lock the door, aud promising to let her prisoner go in case the money was paid The wo man is unknown to the detectives. The Flreiilde. The fireside is a seminary ot infinite im portance. It is important lieeause it is uni versal, and because the education it be stows, woven in with the woof of child iiood, gives form and color to the whole texture of life. There are few who can receive the honors of a college, but all are graduates of the hearth. The learning of the university may fade from the recollec tion, its classic lore may moulder in the halls of memory ; hut the simple lessons of home, enamelled upon the hearts of child hood, defy the rust of years, aud outlive the more mature but less vivid pictures of after days. So deep, so lasting, indeed, are the impressions of early life, that you often see a man in the imbecility of age holding fresh in his recollection the events of childhood, while all the wide space be tween that and the present hour is a blasted and forgotten waste. You have, perchance, seen an old and half-obliterated portrait, and in the attempt to have it cleaned, and restored seen it fade away, while a brighter and much more perfect picture, painted beneath, is revealed to view. This portrait first drawn ujiou the canvas, is no inapt illustration of youth , and though it may be coucealed by sonic after design, still the original traits will shine through the out ward picture, giving it tone while fresh, aud surviving it in decay. Such is the fire side—tue great institution furnished by I Providence for the education of man. llint a tor the Laundry If you invite friends to pass a week or more with you, try to fix the visit to begin the day after the ironing is done. Your girl feels a weight off her mind, has time to cook the meals better, and you will find her a much more willing attendant upon yout guests. Do not have beefsteak for dinner ou washing or ironing days—ar range to something you cau roast in the oven, or else have cold meat. Do not have fried or boiled fish. The smell sticks, and your clothes will not be sweet; besides, the broiler and frying-pan takes longer to clean. As for vegetables, do not have spinach, peas, string beans, or applesauce, as these good things take time to prepare, and can be avoided as well as not. If it is asked what to have, let me suggest baked white or sweet potatoes, macaroni, boiled rue, parsnips, sweet corn, stewed toma toes, any canned vegetables in the winter. For dessert, baked aoples nnd cream, bread pudding, or something easily prepared. The lady of the house will find it both pleasant, easy and econmical to attend to the dessert lu rself. Neither do we call dusting work, and strongly advise her to all she can of it. Of course there is much that a lady must do about her house to to have it neat and attractive, but we do not call this actual work. It is rather laying the hand of taste and adaption upon her lielongings, and so making her home harm onious and individual. DURING mild weather sheep sliould not be kept In too warm pens, but should be given the run of the bacn yard In the daytime. —The King of Siam has turned twen ty-four. Why Be Would Not tluy. He was a tall, thin man who hadn't been shaved for probably two weeks. His hat had holes in the top of it, his clothes shone like a placid lake at sun rise arid how his shoes managed to stay on was known only to themselves, lie ambled up the narrow stairs aud into Mr. Margrave's law office. The lawyer was sitting iu hir chair chew ing on his jh*nholder. "is Mr. Margrave In!" inquired the ped dler. "Yes, sir," was the reply, 'I am he.' "Ah yes," responded the tleud, reflec tively, as he rubbed his chin with his knuckles, "if you are at leisure, the Melli fluous Morning Glory of the Appeniuea would like a moments audience." — "Certainly, certainly," responded the man of law," take a seat. Now, then, state your ease. Is it a divorce you come—" "No sir. Oh, no, its—" "Assault and ba'tery 1 presume,"quietly uiterjKisfd the lawyer, as he picked up lus pen to make a memorandum. "Oh uo, you are wrong," smilingly re plied Mellifluous Morning Glory of the Ap pen nes "1 just came in here to have you examine a salve I'm selling. It is com posed entirely of vegetable matter and is made by myself only and is called the Aro matic Soul of Mignonette. It is just the thing you want. It is as necessary as overshoes. Of course, Ido not nuan for a moment to insinuate that it will keep your feet warm or keep water out of your lioots. 1 was only speaking metaphorical ly. You tumble to my metaphor, eh. •"Yes sir." "Well now, here is a box—a nice little sky blue box which will make a nice play thing for one of your children when it is empty. It is only twenty-fire cents per box and this is genuine. See my si na ture." "Yes." "Well, that's salis factory. Now that we understand each other we'll just get down to business. Now how many boxes will you take ?" While the btwyer was thinking, the can vasser continued: "There is no doubt of the virtue of this great healer. It will cure chapj>ed lips in one night. I have known it to close up cracks in a door and on one occasion a woman put some on her lips aud it drew them together and closed her mouth. Her husband came down text dty and reward ed me handsomely. I have testimonials from lots of ministers aud prominent men. Here the lawyer chewed on his jam handle in revery and enquired: "Have you a letter recommending your salve from the man who sawed Courtney's hosts in too ?" "1 liave not." "Then sir, 1 can't purchase anything from you. When 1 buy salve, it has got to be endorsed by the man who sawed Courtney's boats. "Yes," responded the fiend savagely as he backed towards the door, "you are one of them hula what always finds fault and won't be satisfied. You're a healthy man —you are. You wouldn't buy a box of pills unless it had a set of legislative reso lutions and a schedule of the dates of the deaths of ail the famous people for the past two centuries attached to it." he slamuied the door and went down stairs. A Tarred Hoot A man living in West End of Baltimore recently had the fiat roof of the L of his house tarred, and when six or seven cats got on it the following night they could yell and arch their backs and try to get a pull on all four feet at once, but they couldn't lift themselves free aud their sighing was frightful, and people in the neighborhood began to chuck things at them, and the owner of the house forgot about the tar and went barefoot and in his robe de nuit upon the roof to chase them off, and pretty soon found he couldn't stir, and he began to whoop and swear, and a policeman got a ladder and cliuilnd upon the roof, and when he came up over the edge, ou his hands and knees, he had to remain in that posture. McAutime the booljacks were falling in a shower about and upon them, and the mau's mother-in law, in looking oat of an upper window that overlooked tne L roof, to ask them if they were not ashamed to be out on a roof plating cat at that time of night, untort nuately knocked her wig off, and it fell in the tar; auithen she rushed down a flight and went out on the roof to get it, and couldn.t pull the wig np, but got her hand stuck to it so she couldn't let go of it, and of course her position and her bald bead made a dead give away, as it was quite light, when some one finally cam'e with tKiards to put down on the roof for them to be got on to when they were cut loose from the tar, and the old lady didn't feei a bit worse than the policeman, who had to walk through the streets with the knees of his trousers cut out and left stuck on the roof aud a great hunk of tar stuck to each hand, and got a reprimand when he reached the station. And the houseowner himself blistered his feet trying to melt the tar off of them by holding them up to a hot stove, and when the cats were cut loose from .the roof aud put on the ground they tried to gnaw the tar from their claws aud got their paws stuck in tlu ir mouths and rolled about aud yowled and carried on so that folks thought they were mad and killed them. Faltte Teeth and t'ruiohei. Among the passengers who boarded the east-bound train at Holly, Michigan, the other day were a bride and groom of the regular holly-hock order. Although the car was full of passengers the pair began to squeeze hands and hug as soon as they were seated. This of course attracted attention, and pretty soon everybody was nodding and winking, and several persons so far forgot themselves as to laugh out right. By aud by the broad-shouldered and red-handed groom became aware of the fact that he was being ridiculed, aud he unlinked himself to the height of six feet, looked up and down the aiele and said: 44 There seems to be considerable nodding and winking around here because I'm hugging the girl who was married to me at 7 j'clock this morning. If the rules of this railroad forbid a man from hugging his wife after he's paid full fare then I m going to quit, but if the rules don't and this winking and blinking isn't bitten short off when we pass the next mile-post, I'm going to begin on the front seats and create a rising market for false teeth and crutches!" It there were any more winks and blinks in that car the groom didn't e&tch 'em at it. Angling fur Whales. The fact that whales abound in sufficient numbers immediately outaide the harbor of Bau Francisco—between the Faralionesand the Golden Gate—to warrant the establish ment of a whaling Industry of some import ance, is not geuerally known, the idea gen erally entertained being that those waters are too far seuth to become the resort of schools of whales, and that only an occa sional fish, separated from his companions in the north, strays into a latitude so far from his supjiosed habitat—the Indian Ocean. Considerable numbers of whales can be found at all seasons of the year in the ocean adjacent to that port, and within a distance that cuu be easily traversed in a day. Between the Ist of May and the Ist of Octolier is the most favorable season for fishing, on account of the calm weather generally prevailing. When fishing in rough weather there is always some liability of losiug the fish by breaking the line or by cutting loose when the vessel is endangered. The abundance of whales on that coast is accounted for by the fact tliat whales mi grate southward along the coast in winter, returning northward during the summer, and are constantly in motion. The varieties of whales which may be caught in that vi cinity are the sulphur bottom, which is about 18U teet long, the largest in the world, aud weighs in the neighborhood of 2Ul> tons, yielding a small quantity of valu able Ixiue, but being rich in oil; the hump back, weightug 120 tons, tlie California grays, eighty tons, and the finbacks and blaekriah form the remainder. Sperm w hales, which are valuable on account of the large quantity of spermaceti which they yield, are but rarely found iu those waters, aud prove a valuable addition to a vessel's catch. Capt. Thomas Whitelaw is now constructing a little screw steamer, sixty five feet long, sixteen wide aud nine deep, with which he intends to inaugurate the business of whalinir outside the Heads. Bhe will lie completely decked over, so that a sea can go completely over her without causing damage. Bhe is built very strong ly, and is deeper than ordinary, so that she can be drawn some distance into the water bv a whale, to which she may lie made fast without danger. She will be fitted with two compound eugines—four cylinders. She can carry coal enough for a run of thirty days, which will be stored in the after pari, and with the weight of her ma chinery is expected to keep hsr propeller submerged, to avoid the "heating'' caused by the blades when the vessel pitches, which can be heard by a whale a considerable distance, and frightens him off. The cabin will be iD the torward part, and will lie occupied by the crew of five men. The vessel will be launcned in about two weeks, aud is expected to have a speed of nine knots an h-.-ur. Her large coal capacity is to enable her to take an Arctic trip if re quired. '1 he mode of killing whales adopt ed by this vessel is by ihe whaling rocket or bomb-lance, which can be discharged from the vessel, which method possesses considerable advantages over the o'd Btyle of hunting whales in a boat and with the j land-lance. The e\|ieclations are that an j average of ten fish will be caught each month. When a whale is dispatched the j steamer w ill low hiui into port and land him at the reduction works, where the car c iss will lie treated by au improved process by which every portion will be utilized. When a whale is caught at sea the blubber is Htripjsxi off, and the bone removed, after which the carcass is set adrift, and floats around until completely devoured by sharks and birds. Under the process to be tried by Capt. Whitelaw the fish will be cut into sections, and without discriminating be tween blubber, flesh or bones, will be placed in large steam-tight tanks made of boih r plates, into which steam at a high pressure aud temperature will be intro duced, which will have the effect of com pletely digesting the mass aud separating the oil, which will be then drawn off. The process wili be completed in about eight hours, when tne residue of flesh and boues will be taken out, dried, and afterwards ground together to pit) luce a fertilizer. TLe bones are valuable for this purpose on accouut of tne phosphate of lime which they will yield. Three "trys" can be made in a day, aud as three digesters have been constructed —each capable of containing a ten-loot section of a whale—a large nsh can be reduced in about two days. An Arctic whale yields from 1700 to 8500 pounds ot bone, worth #2.75 a pound by the cargo at New Bedford. Each whale also yields from 100 to 250 barrels of oil, worth #lO per barrel. Rill Klie|>ar
