How to Onrvo a Tlinnkaglvlng Tur
key.
Next Thursday being Thanksgiving
day, the following article, from oio of
our exchanges, on carving a turkey will
Do appreciable ; Thero is nothing n
young unmarried man likes better than
to go to a dinner at tho house of a
friend and to bo asked to carvo a tur
key. Ho never carved a turkoy In his
llfo, and with an old maid on ono sldo
of him watching him closely j and on
tho other side a fair girl for whom he
has a tenderness, ho feels embarrassed
when he begins. First ho pushes tlio
knlfo down toward ono of tho thigh
joins. He can't find the joint, nnd ho
plunges tlio knife nround In search of it
until ho makes mlnce meat of the whole
quarter of tho fowl ' Thon he sharpens
the knlfo and tackles it again. At last,
while making a terrible dig, ho hits tho
joint suddonly,ntid tho leg Hies Into tho
maiden lady's lap, wlillo her dress front
is covered with a shower of stuffing.
Thon he goes for the other log, and
when tho young lady tolls mm ho looks
warm, tho weather seems to him sud
denly to become four hundred degrees
warmer. This leg ho finally pulls iooso
with his fingers. Ho lays It on tho
edgo of tho plato, and while ho Is hack
ing at tho wing ho gradually pushes
the leg over on tho clean tablecloth, and
when ho ploks It up It slips from his
hand Into tho gravy dish aud splashes
thu gravy around tor six: square yards.
Just as ho has made up his mind that
the turkey has no joints to its wings,
tho host asks him If ho thinks tho In
dians can really be civilized. Tho girl
next to him laughs, nnd ho says he will
explain his views upon tho subject after
dinner. Then ho sops his brow with
bis handkerchief and presses tlio turkoy
so hard with tlio fork that It slides off
the dish and upsets a goblet of water on
tho girl noxt to him. Nearly frautic be
gouges away again at tho wings, gets
them off In a mutilated condition, and
digs Into the breast. Before ho can, out
any off, tho host asks him why ho don't
help out tho tuikey. Bewildered, ho
puts both legs on a plate and hands
thorn to the maiden lady, and then helps
the vou'ng girl to a plateful of stuffing,
and while taking her plate in return,
knocki over a gravy dish. Then no
sits down with tho calmness of despair,
and fans himself with a napkin, while
the servant cleans the table. lie dosen't
discuss thu Indian question that day.
Ho goes home rlk'lit after dlnucr and
spends the night trying to decide
whether to commit luicidu or to take
ics&Qus q parvlug.

A conviction which a recent call at the

calculated to confirm for on that occa

On tho 10th day of March In that year,
as appeared from tlio original beforo

Jnc. Andreas, which latter, In May,
1811, deeded It to Jacob Dlukoy,whn,nf

the present owner, Joe. Andreas. In
other words the transactions of half n

tho Central Itallroad of Now Jersey, to IhoottVct
that tho coal earnings of that road for tho ton
months of tho current vear to tlio end of Octob.
or worn hb great as they w, ro In correpondlng

rumilir all winter to supply their trade. So far,
It Is said, there has boon no accumulation of
coal, tho demand having been np to production,
whlfothe company has contiacts ahead with

coal traiio of tho company thero has beon n new
and very considerable sonron of revenue to tho

Ilrook line, from which nbont n quarter nf a
million has beon recelvod. from tho Incroaxed

claimed In favor ot thotindeof the Central that
the contract between It nnd the Lehlcli and
Wllkosbnrro Conl Company glyos Iho road about
onahnlf the prlco of tho coal at tide water for

business of this voar over this road Is not nn.
favorable as compared with last year. There

Its liability ou account ot tho latter, the proHl.
dent of tho Central said, had beon llttlo under
