1 write a history of the wild and
winked days of 1840 io California. I
was then among the pay and Irrespon
sible oneg. Law, during business hours,
a feast at dinner, a frolic at n'jflit an
easy, careless, devil-may-care existence.
Sobered now by the experience of years,
and weighted with responsibility and
cares, I look back upon the early days
of fun and jollity as a bright point In
my hist" ry. One night I had sauntered
into one of the gambling hells; an ex
cellent dinner of terrapin and cham
pagne, and other good things, had dis
posed me to generous payment lor
hospitality, and 1 was piling red chips
upon a siwtted green cloth, in evidence
of my devotion to the unknown god.
At a late hour I had stretched myself
upon an easy lounge half dreaming and
half dazed, when 1 was aroused by the
entrance of a man and a bundle. The
man was drnnk, the bundle was a baby
a two-year old, violet-eyed, staring,
wide-awake baby. We all recognized
Will Seymour, the gay, reckless, dare
devil, gambling, handsome well-born,
highly educated, and, when drunk,
most desperate and ill-tempered man
most reckless of all our knight of the
green cloth.
We all knew how good and generous
lie was to the best and purest of sweet
wives when soler; we knew how terri-

What frenzy had promoted him, at
this late hour, to seize this child from
Its cot and bring it down into this gam
bler's rendezvous, I do not know. The
proprietor was dealing this game. I
will not name him, for this Is a true
story, and not a romance. We called
him "Blaze." It was his nom de guerre,
when we were fighting his infernal
game. He was educated, well-born,
generous, and had he not been a gam
bler, would have been a gentleman. He
is not a gambler now ; he lives, and Is a
gentleman.

The Iron Trade.
The bulletin of tne American Iron
and Steel Association says that the total
production of pig iron in tbe United
States for the vejr 1S77 was 2,314.535
tons, against 2,tKi3.236 tons iu 1876
being a gnln ol tons, or an in
crease oi 10 per cent. The year 18,6
was the year of lowest depression lu
the trade. In J874 the production was
2,689,413 tons; in 1S73, 2,96S 278 the
largest production reached. Anthracite
and cbafoal iron have fallen eff; bitu
minous has increased. There was an
Increase of thirty-four active blast fur

To JJak IIuks Lat. Put two or
more quaru of water in a kettle, and
one large seed pepper or two small ones,
then put the ketue over the fire. When
the water boils, stir In coarse Indian
meal until you have a thick mush. Let
it cook an hour or so; feed hot. Horse
radish chopped fine and stirred into the
tnusn, as prepared under the above di
rections, is also very good ; and for re
sults we are getting from five to ten
egg per day, whereas, previous to this
feeding, we bad not bad eggs for a long
time. We hear a great deal of complain
ing irom other people about not getting
eggs. To such we would warmly re
commend cooked feed led hot. Boiled
apple skins, seasoned with red pepiier,
or bo. led potatoes, seasoned with horse
radish, are good for feed, much better
than u.icooked food. Corn, when fed
to the hen by itst-lf, has a tendency to
fatten, hens rather than produce the
more profitable egg laying. A spoon
ful ol sulphur stirred with their feed
occasionally, will rid them of vermiu
and tone up their systems. It is espe
cially good for young chickeus or tur
keys. Out oi a flock of ten hatched last
November, we have lost but one. They
have been fed cooked feed mostly, and
are growing finely.

Horse Feed. A great many farmers
think that corn ground w ith the cob
will kill a horse if fed to him. We have
found, on the contrary, from experi
ence, that it is a healthy food, and that
attain will do hatd work on this diet
and keep in good condition. If our old
team were fed oats unground, one-half
ol them would pass through them with
out mastication or digestion. We have
tried this to our entire satislaction,
hoping by feeding grain whole to save
the miller's toll. If it is necessary to

Gold Lore. Gold lace Is not gold lace.
It does not deserve this title, for the
gold Is applied as a surface to silver. It
is not eyen silver lace, for the silver is
applied to a foundation of silk. The
silken threads for making this material
are wound round with gold wire, so
thickly as to conceal the silk ; and the
making of this gold wire la oae of the
most singular mechanical operations
imaginable. In the first place, the re
Hue r prepares a solid rod of sliver about
an inch lu thickness; he heats this rod,
applies upon the surface a sheet of gold
leaf, burnishes this down, aud so on.
until the gold is abontoue hundredth
part the thickness of the silver. Then
the rod Is subjected to a train of pro
cesses which brings it down to the state
of tine wire; it is passed through holes
in a steel plate lessening step by step in
diameter. The gold never deserts the
silver, but adheres closely to It, and
shares all its mutations ; it is one hun
dreth part the thickness of the silver a,
the beginning, and it maintains the
same ratio to the end. As to the thin
ness to which the gold coated rod of
silver can be brought, the limit depends
ou tbe delicacy of human skid ; but the
most remarkable example ever known
was brought forward by in. Wollaston.
This was an example of solid gold wire
without any silver. He procured a
small rod of silver, bored a hole through
it lrom end to end, and inserted in this
bole the smallest gold wire he could pro
cure ; he sut jeeted t he silver to the usual
wire-drawing process, until he hail
brought it to the finest attainable state
being, in fact, a silver wire as line as
a hair, with a gold wire in its center.
To Isolate the gold wire he subjected it
to warm nitrous acid, by which the
silver was dissolved, leaving a gold
wire one thirty thousandth of an inch in
thickness perhaps the thinnest round
wire that the hand of man has yet pro
duced. But the wire, though beyond
all comparison finer than any employed
In manufactories, does not approach iu
thinness the film of gold on the surface
of silver aud gold lace. It has been
calculated thai the gold on the very
finest silver wire of gold lace is no:
more than one third of one millionth
of au Inch in thickness, that is, nor.
above one tenth the thickness of ordi
nary gold leal.

The annual report of the American Mlk
Association gives the total silk products
of the country for 1877 as 1.177,504
lbs., the value of which was $21,411,430.
The value of reeled silk consumed was
(0,326,341, and of spun silk $S.Y),000,
making a total of silk threads to the
value of $9,300,341. The silk consumed
in sewings and twist, and In weaving,
was worth $l2,l( 5.(i'.i. The imnorts ol
raw silk were 9 377 bales of 10J lbs.,
each, against 9,h87 bales in 1S75, and
1,249 bales lu l&7ti. The production ol
raw silk throughout the world pmially
recovered last year from its great de
cline in 1876, but has not yet reached its
previous average. According to the
Bulletin dts Sote el de .SoierL. the total
silk production for 1874 was 22,303,098
lbs.; 1875 ir. was 21.161,313 lbs.; iu 1876
it fell to 17.G60.4U5 rining again in 1877
to 18 791,855 lbs. The falling off took
place almost wholly in France aud Italy.
In 1S76, under the stimulus of high
prices, the exports ol Japan rose from
an average ol 14,000 bales to 20,00'J
bales. There was a marked increase
la-t year in the number of bales ex
ported from Japan direct to this coun
try. Dr. Leihreieh suggests the following
rules to painters iu oil who desire that
their works may not deteriorate; 1.
The oil should in all caes be reduced to
a minimum, and under no farm should
more of It be introduced into a picture
than, is absolutely necessarv. 2. All
transparent colors which dry slowly
-hould not be ground with oil at alt,
but with a resinous vehicle. 3. Xo
colors should be put on any part of a
picture w Inch is uot yet perfectly dry.
4. White and other quick-drying color
should always be put on iu thin layers.

Landing m Whale.
Great excitement has heen created
along the shore of New Jersey, from
Squan to Key port, by the story of a real
whale having been caught in Uaritan
Bay, near Port Monmouth. The carcass
of the enormous fish was anchored near
an old fish oil factory, where the lucky
flshermen who have struck a big bonanza
in the capture ol a sperm whale were
melting the blubber in large iron pots
The whala was first seen about sunrise
by a fisherman named Ludlow, on Port
Comfort shoals, about nine miles from
Sandy Hook. He saw the large black
object in the water, but thought it was
a wreck of some vessel and did not go
near It. George Poj, also a fisherman,
went out in a small boat for the purpose
of catching some oysters and on nearing
the shoals noted the large dark body in
the water. On approaching it he found
that it was a large live fish of some
kind, and having no other weapon he
began sticking his oyster knife into the
side of the whale, but, seeing that it
had no effect, he went to the shore and
procured the assistance of a fellow
fisherman with an axe. They returned
to where the whale was still lying; the
boat was then backed up to the whale's
head, when one of the men began
chopping it In the bead with the axe.
Fortunately for the boatmen tho whale
did not struggle until they were some
distance away, when it began to flounder
and roll, and in a short time succeeded
in getting off the shoal and started
toward Sandy Hoot. The fishermen
not knowing the danger they were in
started after it and tried to catch or
drive it toward the shore by throwing
their anchor Into Its snout, and at one
time, while thus endeavoring to catch
the enormous fish, It passed under their
boat, almost lifting it out of the water.
The whale was followed down tbe bay
several miles and with the aid of other
fishermen, who were in boats, it was
driven ashore. With a seethe borrowed
from a neighboring farmer the whale
was finally killed by stabbing it in the
side. A schooner then took the carcass
in tow and brought It to the Brays land
iug where it has been mutilated. Cap
tain Bilson, who is an old whaler and
has been in the Southern Indian seas,
stated tiiat this was a very large cow
whale it being thirty-five feet long aud
about nine in diameter. They expect
to get thirty-two barrels of sperm oil
and said If they had proper facilities
for tbe dressing and rendering of the
blubber they would get much more.
There were two good 6lzed row boats
well filled with blubber and several
large pots with fine claar oil I The
owners ef the trophy were busily en
gaged getting It In a marketable condi
tion, one taking the teeth out.

Skasoxiko Food. Many people have
the idea that a finely flavored dish must
cost a great deal. That Is a mistake; If
you have untainted meat, or sound
vegetables, or even Indian meal, to be
gin with, yon can make it delicious with
proper seasoning. One reason why
Freuch cooking is so much nioer than
any other is that it is seasoned with a
great variety of herbs and spices. These
cost very little. If you would buy a few
cents worth at a time you would soon
have a good assortment. The best kinds
are sage, thyme, sweet marjoram, tarr
gon, mint, sweet basil, parsley, bay
leaves, cloves, mace, celerv seed, and
onions. When you buy a bunch of
dried herbs rub the leaves through
sieve, and bottle them tightly till you
need them ; tie the stalks together and
save them until you want to make what
the French call a boquet, for a sonp or
stew. A boquet of herbs is made by
tying together a few sprigs ot parsley,
thyme and two bay leaves. The bay
leaves, which have the flavor of laurel,
can be bought at any German grocery
or drug store, enough to last a long
time for nve cents.

' Wooden Bottle Stoppers.
I The days of King Cork are threatened
I with an abrupt termination. Tbe in
I ventive genius of California has brought
forth something which threatens to
j supersede cork altogether as the mater
! ial for the manufacture of bottle stop
j pera, both In point ot durability and
cheapness. During the past twelve
mouths or so a California chemist, has
been experimenting with wood for the
manufacture of bottle stoppers and he
has met with remarkable success,
producing what at present promises to
revolutionize the bottle-stopper busi
ness. Dr. Holwig takes a piece of wood
(the material he has chiefly used is the
wood forming the crate of fruit im
ported from the South Seas a wood
somewhat willowy in its nature) and
subjects it to certain chemical processes,
which expel all the resinous and glutin
ous substances in the cellular structure
of the wood, leaving nothing but the
cleau fibre. Into tbe wood thus treated
he injects, by hydraulic pressure, a new
substance. After the wood has been
thus prepared, it Is soft and springy
like cork when pressed laterally, but
different from cork in IU unyielding
nature when pressed longitudinally.
A sharp knife manufactured expressly
for the purpose cuts the prepared wood
into proper shape for stoppers. The
inflexible nature of this wooden stop
per longitudinally, and ibs yielding
nature laterally, permits it to be easily
driven into the neck or the bottle, while
the fact that Its fibre runs longitudin
ally and not laterally, as in cork, per
mits it to bedrawn without breaking.
It has been used for the past eight
months as stoppers for bottles contain
ing various oils and chemicals, to test
its durability, its power of resistance of
chemical action and its water-prooi
capacity, with the greatest success.
Neither sulphuric ether, keroseie, nor
liquid ammonia have been able to es
cape from bottles closed with these
wooden stoppers. Tincture of Iron,
which rapidly eats tip cork stoppers,
has no eflect on it. It has been tested
with success as suppers for still wines
and experiments are being made with
Champagnes which promise equal
success. A piece of bass-wood broom
handle subjected to this process Is as
soft and springy laterally as cork,
while it retains all of Its original stiff
ness longitudinally. The elasticity and
softness of the material may be graded
at will by the manufacturer. It will
not harden tinder long exposure, nor
when subjected to carbonic acid gas,
which hardens cork. This prepared
wood is also exceedingly tough and
does not readily split, although the
fibre may be quite straight.

"A bachklok permitted himself to be
Inveigled into Boston's baby show, and
it was nearly the death of him. He
stopped to gaze at a sweet cherub of
hundred and fifty pounds, with ears
like lull grown cabbage leaves, a mouth
of m'leh. amplitude, and lungs of more
than Keely motor power. While won
dering whether tbe infant would develop
Into a President or the united states or
disgrace his doting parents by joining a
base ball club, the youngster opened its
entire face back to the ears, and set up
a yell. And such a yell! Before the
bachelor could hurry away, the mother
caught her infant in her arms, and
crooned. "What's the matter with
mamma's precious petty-wetty! Did
the nasty-pastv. ugly-plugly man
frighten mammy wammy's darling
baby-waby?". The bachelor fainted
dead away, and was not restored to con

Scexb the other day In a New York

pointing towards the armless figure.
"That statue is worth $9, madam," re

$9, with the arms broken off!" "They
were not broken off, madam; it was
made so." "Ah!" she exclaimed ; "you

And she swept by, with the air of one
whose superior knowledge readily de

"Persevere, persevere," said an old

A Famous Ratter.
That was a lamous ratter that a St.
Clair street man purchased last week.
Ue couldn't remember, he said to bis
wife, just how many rats that dog had
slaughtered at one inning, but it was
something marvelous. There was no
doubt about It, for he learned it from
the man of whom he bought the dog,
and surely he ought to know. The dog
was industriously polishing a bone
while his owner wasshowii.g and hold
fcrth on his good points ; when a rat
was observed to come out from under
the house and go sniffing about, after
the manner of its race, on the hunt for
something to eat, and gradually drew
near to the famous ratter.
"Now, watch him!" whispered bis
owner, while his eyes lighted up with
tbe excitement of anticipated snort:
'just keep your eye on him I"
"Why, the dog doesn't seem to see
him, does he?" said the lady of the
house.
"That's all right, he is laving for him.
You'll see some fun directly. There
he sees him now."
"Yes, but what makes him stick his
tail between his legs that way, and
bristle up so?''
"O that's all right. I guess he does
that because he's mad. iMin't say a
word I"
The rat approached nearer and nearer
his doom; the dog trembled with ex
citement and anxiety to get at the game,
at least that's what his owner said
when the cheeky rodent, alter getting
within about a foot of the bone, skipped
up and seized it, and shot back into
his hole as though he had forgotten
something, while the famous ratter let
out a shrill chorus of yelps, and nearly
tripped his disgusted owner op In shoot
ing around and between bis legs to es
cape imaginary rats.

navy Crocket.
It was during his first session as a
"legislator" that Davy met with James
K. Polk, afterwards President of the
United States, but then only an un no
tice young lawyer. Both happened one
day to be standing in a crowd of mem
bers. Polk remarked that a bill would
be immediately introduced to alter the
judiciary. Crockett, who did not know
what the deuce the word judiciary
meaut, briefly replied, "I s'pose so,"
and to cover up his Ignorance hastily
slipped away from the crowd. Some
time after he got to Nashville, never
having been in a town before, Colonel
Crockett became the hero of another ex
perience, which, afterwards, when a
member of Congress, he was fond of
relating to his friends. He was Invited
to pay a visit to a billiard saloon the
best in Nashville. He had never heard
of billiards much, and had never seen
them played. Arriving at the saloon,
his curiosity was greatly excited at see
ing some men with long sticks shoving
and punching at pretty red and white
balls, which would roll off into their
proper receptacles. He left highly
pleased. It was during the same period
that Crockett was invited to a sp.endid
siif per and bauquet at tbe flne and ar
istocratic mansion of Mr. Irwin, In
Nashville. Colonel Crockett, arriving
at the house, strode- across the gallery j
or piazza to the door. Looking in, he
was surprised to see the table-cloth
spread all over the floor, never having
before seen a carpet, except tbe one of
bearskin which he had used on his cab
in floor in the woods. Not knowing
what the carpet was, and seeing no
way to get to the fireplace except by
crossing what he believed to be the ta-ble-eloth,
Colonel Crocket, in full view
of tbe other guests, cautiously looked
this way and that to see if there was
any chance except by crossing. At
last he muttered to himself, "Who in
the is afraid?" He crept around
the carpet till the fireplace waa reach
ed. Befoie supper was announced,
Mr. Irwin and the "boys" had a high
old time listening to Davy's b'ar stories.
Now, he had never been at a banquet
before, and after the guests were seated
at the table, a negro waiting boy came
up to the back ol his chair and asked
if he would have tea or coffee. Crock
ett replied, "Coffee, though I have plen
ty of sarsaparil la at home." Up step
ped the boy w ith the cofleeon a waiter.
Crockett, insisted not only on taking
the coffee, hut the waiter also, and so
he and the boy had it lively for a while.
Crockett was an old line Whig, and in
his first race for Congress from Tennes
see "licked" Colonel Hunt, a Democrat,
awfully, beating bim by a tremendous
majority. While a member of that
body, and to his daughter, who wrote
asking his advice about accepting the
hand of a young man in marriage, he
addressed the famous expression,
"First, be sure you're right, then go
ahead." And she did, toiler satisfac
tion. Years rolled on, and Crockett,
singularly enough, went to Texas, as
General Houston did, in time to take
part in the great struggle of 1836 against
Santa Anna and the Mexican power, j
While Houston was appointed to com
mand the Texan army, Crockett went
to San Antonio and offered his services
to Colonel Travis, commanding the ill
fated garrison of the celebrated Alamo
fortress. He perished with its defend
ers, all of whom were put to the sword
by the Mexicans. Crockett's body was j
lou mi in a corner or the fortress sur
rounded by a number of the enemy.
His name is embalmed in Texan history
as one of Travis' immortal baud.
Another Wonderful Clock.
The latest arrival ia known as the
Troutman clock, and the maker per
sonally superintends its exhibition. He
is a native of Donaldson, Schuylkill
county, Pa., showing that benighted
region can turn out something more
than coal and Mbllle Maguires. Trout-
i man is a German, but speaks igiisti
tolerably well. He says he cut down a
tree and sawed it into boards to procure
lumber for the clock, which he made
with a penknife ia seven years. The
clock reaches from floor to ceiling, and
i its widest is nearly live feet. Around
and below the main dial are groups of
automaton figures that move with won
derful accuracy. At tbe top is a repre
sentation of X.poleon and his horse
that ate apple dumplings. A figure
seated is eating dumplings, and at
intervals the horse indulges as naturally
as a wooden horse can be expected to
do. Below this is a figure ol Captain
Jack, the Modoc chief, who strike tbe
nours upon a gong that brings forth a
procession of his warriors. Below the
main dial is a representation of Jonah
being swallowed by the whala. Jonah
at regular intervals is thrown over
board, the whale ascends and opens its
ponderous jaws, and Jouah is swallowed.
At the base of the clock is a large scene
representing Christ walking on the
waters. A laige ship appears with a
deck-load of apostles. Tne scriptural
account of the event is narrated by Mr.
Iroutuian, and the picture is represented
automatically to the minutest detail.
t here are a number of other scenes that
may be worked separately or together.
ouh's ark is represented with the dove
and olive branch; and there Is the
"good fairy and the poor woman."
1 uese automaton figures work smoothly
and present interesting pictures. A
music box on the Inside of the clock
plays a variety of tunes.
Johnny on the Sheriff.
A man which was the Sheriff of a jail
his prisoners kept gettin' out nites and
steelin' hens, cos the jail wasent strong
enuf to hold 'em Inside. So the man
he sed, the man did, "He put stop to
that little game, my harteys !" and he
had a other cote of paint put on the jaiL
But the artist he had put some salt into
the paint, and some cow come along and
licked the paint ai off, and then tbe
prisoners got out a other time and
steeled more hens. When the Sheriff he
seen wot they had done, be was so an
gry be sed, "This ain't no place for

eether behave yourself or lite out, and
