"About Ice Cream."
He slipped into an ice cream saloon very
softly, and when the girl asked him what
he wanted he replied :
"Corn beef, fried potatoes, pickles and
mince pie."
'This is not a rcastnrant, this is an ice
cream parlor," she said.
''Then why did you asked me what I
wanted for ? Why didn't you bring on
your ice cream ?"
She went after it, and as she returned
he continued :
"You sec, my dear jrirl, you must infer
you must reason. It isu't likely that I
would come into an ice cream parlor to buy
a grind-stone, is it ? You did'nt think I
came in here to ask if vou had any baled
hay, did you ?"
She looked at him in great surprise, and
he went on :
"If I owned a hardware store and j'ou
came in, I woidd infer that jou came for
something in my line. I wouldn't step out
and ask you if you wanted to buy a mule,
would i r
She went away highly indignant. An
old lady was devouring a dish of cream at
the next table, and thestramrer, after watch
nig her ior a moment, called out :
'Oly dear woman, have you found any
hairs or buttons in your dish ?"
"Mercy ! no !"' she exclaimed, as she
wheeled around and dropped her spoon.
"Wei!, I'm glad of it !'' he continued.
"If you iind any just let me know."
She looked at him for half a minute,
picked up the spoon, laid it down again,
and then se up and left the room. Shore
must have said something to the proprietor,
for he came running in and exclaimed :
"id you tell that woman that there
were hairs and buttons in my ice cream ?"
"No, sir."
"You didn't ?''
"No, sir, I did not ; I merely requested
her, in case she found any such ingredients,
to inform me."
"Well, sir, that was a mean trick."
"3Iy dear sir," said the stranger, smil
ing softly, "did you expect me to ask the
woman if she had found a crow-bar or a
sledge-hammer in her cream ? It is im
possible, sir, for such articles to be hidden
away in such small articles ?"
The proprietor went away, growling, and
as the stranger, quietly supped away at his
cream two young ladies came in, sat down
near him and ordeml cream and cakes.
He waited until they had eaten a little, and
then he remarked :
"Reg pardon, ladies, but do you observe
anything peculiar in the taste of this
cream ?"'
They tasted, smacked their lips, and
were not certain.
"J)ocs it taste to you as if a plug of to
bacco had fallen into the freezer V ' he asked.
"Ah ! kah !" the' exclaimed, dropping
their spoons and trying to spit out what
they had eaten. Roth rushed out, and it
wasn't long before the proprietor rushed
in.
"Sec here, what in blazes are you talk
ing about ?" he demanded. "What do you
mam by tobacco in the freezer ?"'
"lly kind mend, 1 asked the ladies n
this cream tasted of plug tobacco. I don't
taste any such taste, and I don't believe
you used a bit of tobacco in it !"
"Well, you don't want to talk that way
around here !" continued the proprietor.
"My ice cream is pure, and the man who
says it isn't tells a bold lie !"
He went away again, and a woman with
a long neck ami a sad face sat down and
said to the girl that she would take a small
dish of lemon ice.
It was brought, and she had taken about
two mouthfuls when the stranger inquired:
"Excuse me, madam, but do you know
how this cream was made have you an
idea they grated turnip and chalks with the
.T?
cream r
She didn't reply. She slowly rose up.
wheeled around, and made for the door.
The stanger followed after, and by great
jrood luck his coat-tails cleared the door an
instant too soon to be struck by a live
pound box of figs, hurled with great force
by the indignant proprietor. As he reached
the curb-stone he halted, looked at the door
of the parlor and solio:uized :
"There are times when people suouM in
fer, and there arc times when they shouldn't.
I suppose ii L had asked that woman it slie
thought they hashed up a saw-mill in the

A CHASE FOR A BRIDE.
A Young Girl Stolen by an Indian Cap
ture and Escape of the Abductor.
Ero)it the L ni t nicoi th Times.
One of the main tributaries of the Little
Arkansas river is Running Turkey creek,
at the mouth of which is Jim Geary's ranch
an old stopping place in the days when
government provisions were naulea m;m
Fort Parker to the Indian Territory by
bull and mule teams. This ranch was es
trili'.i.shed bv (jtrarv liuinv vears airo. He
j v ill
was an old frontiersman, scout and but
whacker himself, and in consequence of lib
extensive acquaintance among this class o
men, soon established an enviable reputa
tion for his ranch, and as soon as all danger
from Indians was past, through his instru
mentality a number of emigrants were per
suaded to settle around mm. l or a num
m v of vears all went well. The settlers
raised good crops, for which they receive'
high prices. The reputation of the loca
tion selected by Geary was established, ant
the fanners around his old ranch are ul
nic: ccuutlc. A mens the early ettlcry
was a family from Ohio named Falconer,
consisting of ltobert Falconer, his wife
Sarah, and an only daughter, llessie, about
17 years old. These people had amassed a
small fortune, and were looking forward to
the time when their daughter would marry
some thrifty farmer, and be placed in such
a position of independence that they could
leave this world without any apprehensions
regarding her future. The girl was cnga
ged to a young farmer who was possessed
of a stout arm, a warm heart, indomitable
courage, and a good homestead, and, had
nothing happened, would have been mar
ried last Friday evening. The time for
the marriage arrived ; so did the bride
groom and invited guests, but no bride ap
peared. Her parents, supposing she was
in her room, went to the door to warn her
that the time for the ceremony had arrived,
when to their dismy they found the room
empty." It was early evening, and not yet
dusk, so they walked to the window and
endeavored to discover the truant. They
saw rapidly disappearing through the tim
ber on the creek bank a man carrying in
his arms the form of a young girl, which
from the dress they immediately recognized
as that of their daughter. The alarm was
given, and the whole party, well armed, im
mediately started in pursuit. Within a few
minutes they were wit bin gunshot of the fugi
tive, but were unable to use their weapons in
consequence of his shielding his body with
the form of the bride elect. The young lover
was almost frantic, and overtaking the almost
breathless abductor, he seized him, and, after
a brief struggle, wrested the irirl from him.
The abductor was a lazy Cheyenne Indian,
who had loafed around the neighborhood
for a year or two. At the same time that
the farmer regained his sweetheart, the
savage, by a skillful movement and an eel
like wriggle, escaped from his hold, and
started on a keen run down the creek. The
pursurers, however, were too much for him,
and one of their number brought him to
the ground by a well aimed bullent from a
iieedle-gun. It was soon ascertained that
the red man was onby wounded in the thigh.
He was taken prisoner and lodged in a
neighboring dug-out, from which he es
caped in the night, carrying the needle-gun
ball in his thigh, and has not since been
heard of, although search has been made
by the friends, of the young lady, whose
wedding has been indefinitely poponed, in
consequence of a serious attack of brain
fever, the result of her fright at the treat
ment of the savage.
Illegal Interest.
The following opinion has been rendered
by Judge Pearson in case of Rutherford
vs. Doyer on rule to show cause why
$120. paid as illegal interest should not be
credited :
"In this case the defendant has asked a
credit of 6120, money paid to the agent of
the deceased plaintiff in his life time, in or
der to obtain an extension of time on the
judgment for six months, being an addi
tional amount of interest to that collected
by law, so as to bring it up to 12 per cen
tum, the sum agreed on at the time of the
igrcement. 1 he judgment was afterward
revived without taking into consideration
the money thus paid as increased interest.
The property of the defendant was since
extended and since extended and several
rentals paid. The defendant now demands
i credit for the $120 paid in December,
1872. The evidence shows clearly that the
money was given at tiie time suit en. it is
not denied. Must the court direct the
credit? A large portion of the judgment
remains open undischarged. It is very
clear that this money could not be sued for
and recovered back at this time, more than
six months having elapsed since the dav of
pavment ; but the act of Ala' 18, 1858,
1 .1, . i
provides mat wneu a rate oi interest ex
ceeding G percent, shall have been received
or contracted for the borrower or debtor
shall not be required to pay the excess over
the legal rate, and it shall be lawful for
such borrower or debtor, at his option, to
retain and debuct such excess from the
amount of such debt. The law then pro
vides that if the whole debt has been paid
oft" the excessive rate of interest must be
sued for within six months.
"In the present case as a portion of the
judgment remains unpaid the debtor has
a right to retain ami deduct the M thus
illegally paid from the amount still due, al
though more than six months have expired
since the day of payment. In the language
of Justice Aguew, in Heath vs. i age, l.
Smith. 1-1 : 'the money m excess oi tne
interest bebngs to the debtor, which when
received by the creditor he cannot retain
but holds lor tne use ol tne debtor. e
are, therefore, clearly of the cpinion that
the defendant in this judgment can claim
and is entitled to receive a credit for the
6120. This he can demand before setting
off the judgment. Can the ( ourt ordei
the credit to be entered ? We think not
We have no power to order satisfaction uu
til the whole debt Mid costs are paid ; but
we can make an order at any time suspend
ing the collection of 6120 of the judgment,
if the plaintiff attempts to issue an execu
tion thcrcfer. This we will feel ourselves
obliged to do should an execution be issued
for that sum. If the plaintiff demands it
he can have an issue to try the facts in the
case, not whether the credit is proper, but
whether tin; money was paid as additional
interest to that allowed by law. If such is
the case it must be deducted from this
judgmeut.

Why and When Lamps Explode.
All explosions of coa! . lamps are
caused b' the vapor or gas that eoHec hi
the space above the oil. When full of oil
of course a lamp contains no gas, but im
mediately on lighting, the lamp consump
tion of oil begins, soon' leaving a space for
gas, which commences to form as the lamp'
warms up, and after burning a short time
sufficient gas will accumulate to form an
explosion. The gas in a lamp will explode
only when ignited. In this respect it is
like gunpowder. Cheap or inferior oil Is
always the most dangerous. ,
The flame is communicated to the gas itt
the following manner : The wick tube iii
all lamp burners is made larger than the.
wick which is to pass through it. It would
not do to have the wick work tightly Jit
the burner ; on the contrary, it is essential
that it move up and down with perfect
case. In this way it is unavoidable that,
space in the tube is left along the sides of
the wick sufficient for the flame from the
burner to pass down into the lamp and ex
plode the gas.
Many things may occur to cause the
flame to pass down the wick tube and ex"-'
plode the lamp.
1. A lamp may be standing on a table
or mantel, and a slight puff of air from the
open window, or the sudden opening of at
door, causes an explosion.
2. A lamp may be taken up quickly
from a table or mantle and instantly ex
plode. 3. A lamp is taken into an entry where
there is a draft, or out of doors, and an ex
plosion ensues.
1. A lighted lamp is taken up a flight of
stairs, or is raised quickly to place it oi
the mantel, resulting in an explosion. In'
all these case the mischief is done by the
air movement either by suddenly check
ing the draft, or forcing air down the chim
ney against the flame.
o. Blowing down the chimney to extin
guish the light is a frequent cause of explo-
G. Lamp explosions have been caused
by using a chimney broke olr at the top, or
one that has a piece broken out whereby
the draft is rendered variable aud the flame
unsteady.
7. Sometimes a thoughtless person puts
a small-sized wick in a large burner, thus
leaving considerable space in the tube along
the edges of the wick.
8. An old burner, with its air drafts
clogged up, which rightfully should be
thrown awav, is sometimes continued in
use, and the final result is an explosion.
A REMARKABLE OPERATION.
A Surgeon Extracts the Skeleton of a
Child from a Young Man 18 Years Old.
Prom the (Irciutda Seutiinl.
Dr. W. E. Rogers, who, as a surgeon .
stands at the head of the profession in the
South, performed an operation in Memphis
Inst week that has developed one of the
most remarkable results known to the medi
cal fraternity, lie was called in, at a house
on DeSoto street, to extract a stone from
the bladder of a young man about 18 years
old, named Jephtha Walker. The doctor
having successfully taken out the stone,
which is about the size of a large gumea
egg, composed of carbonate of lime, left the?
patient in good spirits, doing well. Some
lavs alter, the nurse, while dressing the
wound of the young man, saw something
protruding from it, which she gave to Dr.
Rogers on his next visit. On examination
this proved to be the bone of an infant.
Since then the physician has extracted sev
eral bones, among which are part of both
bones of the thigh, one of the leg. one of
each arm, and one hip bone, and last Tues
day another was taken out belonging to an
other part of the body. The nurse stated
that she extracted many more bones, but.
not knowing their value, she threw theim
away, me patient is doing very well, ami
is expected to bo soon restored to good
health. This is the first case of the kind,
we believe, that has occurred in this part
of the country. Rut medical works recount
where several such phenomena have taken
place ; and the same authorities explain uj
on a very plausible theory how such things
can happen. Some lazy, incredulous doc
tors, whose vocation should have been that
of third-class scullion, have doubted the?
word of Dr. Rogers in this matter. Rut
the doctor has shown lis the bones and the?
stone, and told us that his ojHTatiou was
attended with the above results. As fat
as Dr. Rogers' character is concerned, suf
fice it to say that he is well known through
