A Personal Favor.
The family of Huxtons, in we9t Tennessee,
were lately astonished to see a fine-looking
genfcUman aliffht at the gate and come up the
path Nupj osing, of course, that he was the
tax collector, old Huston and bispixson*
ruefced for their guns and prepared to kill him
on the doorstep; but he saw the movement and
called out:
" Don't shoot, friends; I am Colonel Blank,
of Knoxvillt!"
When they had admitted him to the cabin,
and he had placed bis plug hat on the floor
and wiped the perspiration from his brow, he
remarked:
1 learn that It was your intention to go
ever to Brownfield to morrow and kill off old
Sweet and his boys."
" 'Zactly, sir," replied the old man Huxton.
" Yes, you've hit it plum center."
"Well, 1 know how it is to have an old
grudge against a man and want to kill him.
Of course, yon feel irritated and annoyed,
and you don't sleep nights as you should."
"That's me, 'zactly, kurnel. I kinder feel
os if I was neglecting my duty."
•'Just so. I've had my conscience trouble
me in the same way. Now, then. I want to
ask a great favor of you. Old Sweet and his
boys are going to vote for me. The election
is going to be powerful close, and if I lose
their votes I'm a goner. I want you to post-
pone the killing until after election."
" That's asking a heap, kurnel. We'd sot
fur to mcrrer, and the boys will feel disap-
p'inted."
" I know, but I hope you'll grant what I
ask. It's an act of pure patriotism, and your
country won't forget it."
The (Id man took the boys aside for consulta-
tion, arid after about ten minutes returned
acd said:
Wall, kurnel, being as It's a great favor to
you, and beirgas you'll probably boost up a
gallon of whisky for us, we've "concluded to
adjourn the shooting match fur twenty days."
*• Thanks—thanks!1' exclaimed the colonel
11 knew that patriotism in west Tennessse
still Jived. Yes, I'll send up a gallon of the
very best, and when you set out to kill off the
Sweets may good luck attend you. L9t me
f-heke hands and bid you good day."

Albany, N. y., November 4.—At a special
meeting of the stockholders of the New York

city, the president submitted the action of the
board of directors in relation to the West

AUTOMATIC URAKES.
The subject of automatic freight car brakes
elicited an Interesting discussion at the last
meeting of the Western Railway club, report-
In this issue. The feeling seemed to be that
such brakes vete btcoming a necessity, and
that their adoption would save time, money
and lives, and Increase the efficiency of rail-
ways. The plan of having brakes on both
tiucks was generally Indorsed.
SUPERINTENDENTS ASSOCIATION.
The Hailway Superintendents association has
expressed the opinion " that the passing of del-
egates to conventions of the several branches
of railroad service on circulars issued by the
secretaries of such conventions should bj di«
continued, and paBses for such purposes should
be ietued only on application of the superin-
tendent of the railroad on which the delegate
is employed." This action of course is only
recommendatory, and managers and superiu
tendents who see fit to encourage railway c >n
ventions by granting transportation ou tne
rt quests of the secretaries of the associations
will continue to do so.
the transcontinental
The Transcontinental association still livos,
the Burlington company having extended its
notice of withdrawal in order to hold a meet-
ing of the lines interested, at San Francisco,
November 25. Meantime three accountants
are examining the bocks of General Agent
Cannon in regard to the business of the linej
in the association during the period upon
which was based the arbitrators' award to
which the Southern Pacific so strongly demurs
as unfair,and Mr. Shelby of the Union Pacific,
Mr. Bancroft of the Denver and Rio Grande
Western, and Mr. Ford, of the Pennsylvania,
are also in Ban Francisco supervising the
work. As all parties seem to want to get at
the truth nnd to act fairly toward each other,
fhe present diFagreement will probably be
fettled. Meantime, it is understood, percent
ages are being divided on the basis of the pre
vie us three months business.
all iron btreet railroad track.
The Metallic Street Hailway Supply com-
poey, of Albany, N. Y., has a contract for
the construction of the Greenbash street rail-
way, from Greenbush to Albany, Messrs. An-
drews & Clooney, of New York, contracting to
supply the iron work. The system used is
Gibbon's patent, exclusively 'metallic, dis-
pensing with the spikes, bolts, joint plate and
knees now used, as well as the timber of four
parts—the rail, longitudinal sleepers, tie-rods
and wedge key. The flange is brought up
above the web or girder of the rail, so that
the flange has a firm and uniform bearing on
the sleeper. The web or girder
of the rail is slotted, and
drops into the guides la the
sleeper, so that the wedge key, when driven
through the slot in the rail, locks them together
and makes them as one piece. The rails, al-
though locked together, are separate, and can
sequently have power to move in the sp»oe al-
lowed for expansion and contraction without
detriment to the alignment of the track The
beads of the transverse tie rods, after passing
through the slots in the sleepers, lock them-
selves to the sleepers, not only tying the tracks
firmly together, but accurately gauging the
track also.
the ticket commission question in texas.
The friends of ticket commissions are gloat-
ing over a recent circular issued by General
Passenger Agent Peirce, of the Sunset route,
announcing that his company will continue to
pay commissions on business destined for
points outside of Texas. They say that there
Is an evasion or a violation of the agreement
of the Texas pooled lines.
Referring back to the first circular of Com-
missioner Waldo, we find this language used:
" That the commissioner be instructed to is-
sue a circular to connecting lines, requesting
them not to pay commissions to agents of these
companies, or to any other person, on tickets
sold within the territory covered by this asso
ciation."
The agreement as to the pooled lines is this:
" No commission for the sale of tickets shall
be paid by any of the parties hereto on busi-
ness covered by this agreement."
The reasonable interpretation of this agree-
ment is that it relates only to Texas business,
not to competitive business for points outside
of that State. Mr. Peirce has stated the un-
derstanding just as it is and his action In con-
tinuing to pay commissions on outside busi-
ness is all right if be chooses to do so.
Ticket commissions are doomed and no man-
ner of slurs or skeptical doubtlngs can stay the
reform. The Texas pooled lines are satisfied
with the practical working* of their agree
ment, and its influence is to be strong enough
to lead all the railways of the country to fol-
low this good example.
The payment of ticket commissions has got
tobeBtopped. [Railway Register,

The talk is that the Central Iowa is to pass
into the bands of the Burlington.

continue to rely upon them and try to strength-
en them in every possible way.

The Hochester and Pittsburgh has at last
been reorganized under the name of the Buf-
falo, Hochester and Pittsburgh, aud is enabled
to start with a cash balance after paying all
the debts assumed by it.
The Southern Pacific is about to build a
branch from Maricopa to Phu uix, Arizona.
This piece of road will be thirty-five miles
long and will give railway facilities to one of
the most promising towns in the Territory.
The quarterly report of the receiver of the
Nickel plate shows that this property is self-
sustaining The balance on hand September
SO was ilOC.OC'O larger than at the beginning
of the quarter.
Nothing definite concerning the reorganiza-
tion of the Buffalo, New York and Philadel-
phia is yet known. It is probable that the
security holders, most of whom reside in Hol-
land, wi'.l agree upon some plan soon and put
the road on its feet again.
One cf the most important of the recent ru
mots is that to the effect that the Vauderbilts
have purchased s large interest in the Erie and
will have a representation in the board of di-
rectf ra Probably this report has some found-
ation in fact.
The application of the receiver of the Tole-
do, Cincinnati and St. Louis, for permission to
Issue *?<J0,too of certificates to put the road in
repair, has been refused. The court proposes
to let the owners rescue the property if they
can, but no more debt will be packed upon It.
The next twelve months will be memorable
in tallway history, for they will see numerous
transfers of ownership, consolidations, reor
ganlzatlons aud construction of new roads.
1 hi se changes must help the business of deal
rrs in railway supplies and lo other ways exert
a beneficial effect.
The secretary of the Western Railway
Weighing association in its recent report states
that durirg the five years that the association
has been in operation It has effected a saving
In revenue of 114,000,000. If all shipments of
freight were carefully weighed by the com-
panies the annual saving would be enormous.
It Is denied that the New York and New
England is to be consolidated with the New
York, New Haven and Harlford, although
the belief is general that this will be the dual
disposition of the property. The directors of
the New England will press the reorganization
Echeme, paying all creditors, who will accept,
in preferred stock and selling the balance to
the best possible advantage.
The Denver, Texas and Gulf has at last been
formally organized. It Is the successor of the
Denver and New Orleans, and will endeavor
to carry out the ambitious plans of the defunct
company, not the least of which is to ex'end
the Denver and New Orleans to a connection
with the Fort Worth and Denver City. As
times ore growing better it will likely have
success in the latter undertaking.
The principal security holders of the Louis-
ville, Evansville and St Louis have agreed
upon a plan of reorganization which contem
plates the issue of four millions in bonds and
assessment on the old bonds, Btock and notes.
It is hoped to be able to extend the road to
St. Louis and secure adequate terminals This
property 1b and has been for sale, bat a satis-
factory price has never been offered. The
LooiBville and Nashville and the Chesapeake

neither think it worth as much a< Its nr .'sent
owners. Tl-cre is no telling, however, how soon
it may be sold.
The Maxlui. of a Chinese Gourmand.
[London Times J
Dinner giving is a science which Is carefully
cultivated in China, and the table has there,
as elsewhere, played an important part in poli-
tics, literature aud art. A distinguished
apostle of this cult was n certain Yuan Tsu-
tsal, who lived in the last century, and who
seems to have been the Samuel Hogers of his
day, for he cultivated the muses In a dilet-
tante fashion, and also collected aroaud his
hospitable board all the celebrities of the
time. He was originally an official, but
retired into private life at the age
of 40, and settled in a charming residence in
the country, where he devoted himself to
literature, bis garden, and the pleasures of so-
ciety and the table. The most eminent literary
men of the day sought his company; he wrote
polished verses, and was epicurean In his tastes.
Bis character was not wholly irreproachable;
bnt be lived until he was 80 years of age, and
left behind bim a cookery-book, in which he
discussed the subject of food and drink from a
scientific oud artistic point of view. Parts of
this volume were recently translated by the
North China Asiatic societv in Shanghai, and
ore thus rendered accessible to English read-
ers. his maxims are more polished and more
embitious than those cf the Immortal Mrs.
Glasse, but they are equally sensible and prac-
tical.
Cooks are declared to be " low fellows of the
barer sort, who must be constantly scolded or
rewarded, otherwise they do deteriorate sadly,
Hence Mr. Yuan bestows on them some good
advice. Tbey should keep the utensils ciean,
nrd not use the same one for two different
things: they should not slice bamboo-shoots
with a knife which has just been used to out
onions (from which it would Beetn the minor
ills of life ore much the same all the wjrl 1
over); they should know what should ba
served with what, and the different times re
quired for cooking various things, what is in
season and what is not, and they shruld allow
nothiDg torematn on tbe fire beyond its proper
time.
Tbe food being cooked, the service is the
next subject that comrs to be considered, and
on this head some excellent counsel is given.
Elegant food, says the writer, Is not so im-
portant as elegant service. Everything on
the table should be scrupulously clean, and
the various dishes should be sent up in their
proper order. For instance, aalted meats
should precede those of a milder flavor; thick
foods should precede thin ones, and foods
without gravy should precede those with
gravy. Five consec utivo dishes should not be
all salt; this would tax the stomach too severe-
ly. Three of the five should contain either
mustard or pepper to recover the palate, just
as acid and Bweet things should be used to
prevent the palate from being dulled by too
much wine. When tbe dinner is cooked and
served, tbe rest remains with the diners, and
to these Mr. Yuan devotes several chapters.
His first mBxim is: "Don't eat with your
ears"—in other words, do not have whatever
you have heard is dainty. " Hemember," he
says, "that well-cooked bean-curd Is much
nicer than badly cooked birds'nest; and that
sia-slugs, if not good, are not equal to com-
mon bamboo shoots. The fowl, the pig, the
fish and the duck; these are the heroes of the
dinner table. Each has its characteristic
flavor, and each forms a 'school' by
itself. Sea slugs and birds' nests are but their
retainers, having nothing of their own, but
living, as it were, in other men's houses"
'I hat is, fish, pork and poultry form the back-
bone of the banquet; the other delicacies arts
merely to set off or improve these. To illus-
trate this maxim, he relates that he was once
invited to a banquet by a certain official of hia
acquaintance, where the rice bowls were very
large, and each held about four ounces of
birds'-ncst, but quite tasteless. Somebody be-
gan to say something in praise of the display,
Lut Yuan laughed and Bald: " I came hera to
at birds'nest, not to deal in it wholes tie.
Now you might deal in this, but you
couldn't eat it. So what is the use
of it all? If only to make a show, It
would be better to fill your bowls with pearls
which would cost more money, but this is not
eating." Tbe philosopher was averse to dis
play; he loved little dinners. Another maxim
s, "Don't eat with your eyes." This is a
warning to hosts against providing too maoy
courses. He frequently points out how the
different partB of any given food are adapted,
and even essential, in order to produce the
best result from the whole. '■ We know," he
sajs, "that the yolk of an egg Is richer
than the white, but he is a fool who
eatB only yolks and throws awav the
whites." With regard to wine he Is
very emphatic: " Don't take wine too freely.
Only a sober man knows right from vtTong,
and it is the same with food. It has been wisely
observed that language fails to describe the
delicatenuancesof flavors. How, then, should
a half-tipsy sot know anvthlng about them* I
have myself often seen two men playing at
'guess Angers' and shoveling in their food the
while bb though it were so much sawdust, sac-
rificing everything to the enjoyment of wine.
No, 1 Bay food first and wine afterward. Thus
we can enjoy both." He warnB cooks agalust
using hot-water dishes—which htve long been
known in China—for tbev destroy the 11 tvor
of any very delicate dish.

Slrknrssor nausea is most commonly re-
lieved hy vomiting. A horse is unable to
vomit, because its diaphragm is not a complete
partition in the abdomen, perforated only by
tbe gullet, ami agains which tba stomach can
be crmpressed by the abdominal muscles, as is
tbe case in man. Hence its nrusea is not at
nee rtmovable, and is more notable aud en-
during.

succeed here longer, reduce the quantity and
improve the quality of stock raised, and de-
fend on the granary rather than free grass,

WINE THAT IIAD " BODY »»
An Ambrosial Drink for Uld Tlme Bontonl »ni,
(Boston Every Saturday ]
Many years ago there was In Boston a caw
of unconscious or Involuntary cannibalism,
which left a bad taste in the mouths of som *
men, touched the sensibilities of others, an t
moved to ridicule those who were not invii; 1
to the banquet. The matter was an opan se-
cret for a considerable period, for thoso con-
certed in it were not especially anxious to ad-
mit that fact. The parties are all dead now,
and there iu no harm in telling the story. In
the da> s when Wiggles worth imported
gin, and Billy Gray sent his scores of
vcppels all over the world, and the Par-
sores lmp( rted silks from the Indies and
wine* from France and ttpain—iu those days
there was, peihups, no more liquor and wino
drunk than at tbe present ti ne. But the bast
merchants were more particular about tha
quality of what they drank than nowadays,
when eminent citizens take their whisky
straight, and sometimes put on their tables
the brandy of California and the champagne
of New York. Wheu an Importer of gin dis-
covered a particularly nice cask in the cargo,
or Williams detected some fine old Jamaica at
Gray's wharf, or there was a remarkable butt
of Madeira landed at Long wharf, the fact
was froon noised about among the faithful.
Oh 0116 occasion a merchant had a cargo oC
rather ordinary wine from Spain. It was
all dipposed of but a single cask. This
was hoisted into the loft, where it remained
forgotten for several years. One day it wa*
discovered and tested, and was at ou'ie recog-
nized as something remarkable. Such "body,"
such "smoothness," such "delicacy," and so
forth, were never known in modern Athena.
The news soon spread. There was an imme-
diate demand for this remarkable vintage,and
the wine was carefully apportioned among the
elect. It was the subject of discussion and ad-
miration at numerous dinner parties,and there
were various opinions as to the nature of the
particular richness of this wine. When, however,
the cask had been pretty well emptied, It was
rolled over and a rattling noise was heard In-
Bide. On opening it there appeared the com-
plete skeleton of a human being, who had evi-
dently come to a violent death. This accounted
for the " richness " and " body " of the wine,
and those who had imbibed it and who had
differed on this point were now satisfied, and
came to one conclusion. The importer wrote
an indignant letter to his correspondent ia
Cadiz, where an investigation was immediate-
ly made. It turned out the cooper who wa»
employed to prepare this cargo for shipment
got angry with his apprentice, and struck him
a fatal blow with a hammer. He placed the
body in one of the casks, which he filled with
wine. It thus became food for some of the
elite of Boston society.
A Lakeside Homance.
[Chicago Tribune. 1
Young Augustus de Jones and Miss Clara
Brus.-els never speak any more as they pass by.
A few wet ks ago the world looked bright to
the young couple. Augustus loved Clara and
Clara loved Augustus. The young man ad-
mired the old man Brussels, respected old Mrs.
Brussels, and was on intimate terms with the
house dog. A few days ago the young man
received an invitation to go with the family on
a nutting expedition, which he promptly ac-
cepted. The roomy old family carriage was
comfortably filled, with Mr. and Mrs. Brussels
on the front seat aud Augustus and his darling
on the back one. The day was a delicious one,
with the warm, mellow glow of the Indian
summer air bringing a delicious languor to the
eoul. Arriving on the ground, they soon found
there were plenty of nuts, but how to get thorn
was the ciuestion. Clubs were procured, how-
ever, and the work of pelting the nuts from
the trees commenced. The first attempt of
young Augustus was a success. He drew back
to throw and took Mrs. Brussels under the
chin with such force as to draw an agonizing
thriek from the old lady. Finally all the clubj
were lodged in tbe trees, and it was decided
that it was necessary to climb the monarch* of
the forest if any nuts were procured. Of
course, this meant work for Augustus. He
avowed a willingness to try, and was so be-
wildered by a thankful glance from Clara's
blue eyes that he promptly commenced the
ascent of a black oak under the Impression
that it was a hickory.
"That young man will do some mischief
yet," said old Mrs. Brussels, who w«s still in-
dignant.
And then Augustus attempted the explana-
ticn that he bad intended climbing the oak
and then jumping over from there on the hick-
ory, which, as the limbs were about forty feet
apart, would have been a very heroic feat In-
deed. The young man finally succeeded in
reaching one of the bravches of a hickory and
dislodging a few consumptive-looking nuts,
one of which took Clara on the tip of her an-
gelic nose, just as she looked up to see Augus-
tus, retiring her in short order. The old man
lay down on the grass and roared, when, just
as he turned over, one of the heaviest clubs
that bad lodged in the branches took hioi
acrops the mouth, knocking out two of his
teeth and changing his laugh to a roar of an-
guisb.
"I knew he would do some mischief,"
shrieked the old woman, rushing to the relief
of her husband and gazing reproachfully up
'"n the tree In time to receive a big hickory nut
in the eye.
"Clara,"shouted tbe old man, "lead up
the horse and let us go home and leave that
infernal young fool up in the tree."
Clara, with a heart swelling with indigna-
tion toward her lover, did as she was bid.
when, jusS as the old horse came under the
tree, i>oor Augustus, who knew nothing of the
damage be was doing, rained down a perfect
avalanche of clubs and hickory-nuts and
started the old horse on the run.
M Got all you want down there?" cheerfully
shouted young Augustus from the upp^r
branches.
"Come down, you confounded idiot, and
see!" shouted old man Brussels, with a gleam
of war in his eye.
" W hat's the matter ?" asked the bewildered
young man as he reached the ground. Old
man Brussels started toward him, but was
held by the women folks, who briefly and
sternly explained the situation to him in such
a way as to let him know that all was at an
end.
" Mr. de Jones," said Clara, as he turned
away to hunt his coat (and ah, how cold the
words sounded after being eo lately called
"dear Augustus!")" you are about to lose
your handkerchief."
But poor Augustus well knew that his hand-
kerchief was in his coat pocket, and Clara
would have known better had not her eyes
been swollen with pain.
* * * * * * • *
Clara now has young Smith for steady com •
pany. The new gallant laughed heartily when
told of De Jones's misfortunes. " He doesn't
understand nutting, Clara,"said be; "I will
go to the woods to-morrow and bring you all
you want." He accomplished the feat by hiring
a buggy and buying a bushel for a dollar of n
faimer's boy.
A BAUBiT of the ordinary tame species was
bought for purposes of experiment at the
physiological laboratory In Paris, and after a
portion of the facial nerve had been removed,
it was left to run about the laboratory. It
very soon recovered from the effect of ths
operation, and was for four years M. Laborde's
affectionate companion. It would await at the
top of the stairs hia arrival in the morning
and would sometimes run to meet him. When-
ever it had the opportunity, tin rabr»it would
jump up em his knee, and was f ind of
caressee a? a cat. During the progress of an
experiment, it would sic on the operating table
watching the proceedings with an np:>fMraac9

was in a microscopical examinarlo''. -V.s soon
