DECATUR, ADAMS COUNTY, INDIANA, JAN. 20, 1881.

A NEW YEAR : S CALL. “Good morning, Robert.” “Good morning, John. Fine morning?” “Splendid.” Both on their way to business, and meeting, had stopped for a moment's] chat. “Well, how did you leave our friend, Miss Haviland, last evening?” “Oh, as well as usual, John.” “Ah, old boy, I’m afraid you're terribly struck in that quarter, hey?” “Why, what d. you mean ?’’ “Ob, that's all right, my boy,” re- j plied John. “You re not the first one who has done homage t. the fair -Miss Ed'th’s beauty I ean assure yu; but let me give you a piece of advice — don't get too deep in the mire of Miss , Edith’s affections.” “W.\” MissHaviiand aid I have only been acquainted for about three weeks,” exclaimed his fiieu.l. “Exactly,” said John, “aid in that time you’ve spent upward of a dozen evenings at he" Louse. I tell yon Bob, it s begin >:ng to be talked about.” “Wly under tne sun can’t people mir.d their own affa' s ? WLuOT hot - ness is it if I choose to swend my err .1ings there inst.cd of at home ?” “Ail very well, Bob, but are you not aware 'bat Miss Edith is an engaged woman ?” “Certainly not. You nevermentioned that fact te me le"«re.” “1 never dreamed .f your drifting into your p-esent course of proceedings, or I would have informed you sooner,” replied John. “Isn’t it raider si tgular that Miss Haviland never alluded to it i» my preience ?’’ Robert asked. “Well, yes,” said John, “but never , theless, she has been keeping comoany with Captain Dudley for some time past, and if I understand rigitly the nuptials are to be celebrated directly ■ after the holidays.” “That’s news to me, John, for, jndg- , ing from Miss Haviland’s conduct, I never would have dreamed such a . thing.” “No, I thought as much. But here , comes my eoach, and I’ll have to leave , you. Take care of you-self, old boy. , See you later.” 1 And so saving, John Ashland sprang I on tha steps of a passing ca-. Juit three weeks before, Edith Hav- I iland and Robert Emerson had met at ■ . a sociable and he had escorted her home. Accepting her invitation to j call upon her. he spent a very pleasant; , evening, so pleasant in fact that he had taken the earbest onpt rtiriituty 10 re ;. teat the vi.-it, and had been a frequent; caller ever since. 1 , Mies Haviland had favorably im- 11 ’tressed him at their nrst interview, 1 and jedgi ig from her actions, it was’ ha’d to creaic what he had just heard. 1 To be sure John Ashland 1 new her a p great deal better than be did, for the two famfies wore vc ’ indmate. and it was ma’uly due to this intimacy that ' he, being a frend of John’s, was so 1 well received by the Havilands. on so j short an acquaintance. Neve .helsss , the young lauy had obtained such an , exalted position in b’s es/maJou that he was ha’f inclined tn donut what h’s | friend had just toid him, attributing it. to some mistake on his part. “But pshaw,” he a.gued. as hewead-, ed his way across town, after part ng with his friend, “What the deuce j would Jack tell me a y.hlrg 1.-ce taac i fog if it wasn’t, true? Tua’s all nci | srose; Jack has dour me a favor a.id I have bate'y escaped making a fool of I myself ” AH day long at the oifice his th nights were busy over it, and when he started for home that evening he had mentally resolved to cancel all fu- 1 ture engagements with Miss Haviland, and to thank Jack for his timely information. John Ashland laughingly congratulactd him on what lie termed his lucky escape. Time wore on aid the holi- ! days app’cacbed. Rob Ewerson had | met Edith Haviland two or three tiinee ion the street, leaning on the a-m of] lof his friend Johu, and she had met i I him with a bow as cool and indifferent as bis own. He wondered a little at ] • seeing John with her so often. Where I eould Captain Dudley be keeping him- ] ; self ? He had a great desire to behold ■ I that gentleman, and see what sort of a ■ looking individual he was, but although < I be had heard him spoken of among his , ; friends, he had never yet chanced to | i meet him. ’ i New Year’s arrived, and Robert de- . termined to take advantage of the priv--1 ilege granted by the day and include * i Miss Haviland s name in hts list of * persons he intended to call ou. It was * about dusk when he sprang up the steps of the fine blown stone front owned by the Havilands, and rang the ‘ loud sounding gong. The door was r immediately opened and he was usher--1 ed into the parlor. The chandelier

| was lit and directly beneath it, facing I the door to welcome the eallar, stood 1 Edith, looking more beautiful than he I had ever seen her. The other occu- ■ pants of the room was his friend John . Ashland, and a tall, fine-looking man, i whom he had never seen before. Both 1 1 were seated in front of the grate en- | gaged in conversation, and both rose as Edith approached. “Mr. Emerson,” said Edith, “allow me to introduce you to Captain Dudley. Captain Dudley, Mr. Emerson.” “Ilapnv to know you, sir,” remarked the cnpta’n, as they clasped hands. “I suppose you two g«utlemeo need ! no introduction,” said Edith, with a pleasant smile, glancing from John to his friend. “It is altogether unnecessary, Miss 1 Haviland, I can assure you,” laughed Bob, as he took the chair rroffereo by Miss Haviland, and seated himself before the cheerful fire burning io the gia.e. A pleasant conversation followed. and presently Captain Dudley rose, saying : “As I have still a number of calls to ma .e, you will have to excuse my seeming ab uptaess in leaving. By the by M’ss Haviland," he added, turning do you iw’g ne our friend John would tisve any objeerion to leading you in Mr. Emerson’s company while he takes a ton over to tk« Crawfords with me (Why, certainly not, Captain Dud’ey,” ‘replied Edith. “Mr. Ashland has no right whatever t» wake any ebj ection to such an arrangement.” “Os souise not, Captain,” cried Ashland, springing to hie feet, embarrassment plainly express; d in every feature. Turning to Emerson, there were almost ] a perceptible sneer iu his tone as he said: “You. I presume, have no objection to my being absent fora few moments ?” Robert, who had been a silent and | mystified listener to the above bit of conversation, was stung by the lack of delicacy in this last remark of one whom he had always considered a friend, and rising, he said: “John Ashland, I came here to call on Miss Haviland, and, sueh being the case, I fail to sec how either your presence ar absence in any way concerns me.” ■ There, there,” sa ; d Captain Dudley “I merely ventured the suggestion : if it will cause the slightest unpleasantness, I beg ” “Not the slightest, Captain,” interrupted Ashland, leading the way to the , door. “I am at vour service.” “Taking leave of Robe t, the captain left the rsom, followed by Ed ith. Robert Emerson was puzzled, and I completely at loss to account for th# scene he had just witnessed. The few moments be was left to himself he vai Jy tried to a rive at gome definite conclusion ; it was useless, and Edith’s 1 I entrance cut short his conjectures. “Your friend does not seem to be in j : an extraordinary good humor to-day,” j I she remarked, sea’ing herself opposite I him. | “No, indeed,” he replied, “I must ' confess ho rather surprised m« ; ’ wish- ■ ing to change the .-abject, he added ! “but I think you are to be congratulatd on your choice. 1 1 Cbo’ce ? my choice ? lam afraid ■ I that I don’t exactly understand you, , Mr Emerson,” she replied, with a puz- ! zled look. 1 Pray don’t think me impertinent, , but I referred to your choice of a hus- ’ band, Captain Dudley.” “Captain Dudley I” she erclatmed, yon are laboring unuer a great mistake, Mr. Emerson, if you fancy that gentleman is anymore the. 1 a friend of nrino ; but, rue continued, I think I oueht to congratulate you,” and her dainty slipper slightly tapped the rug. 1 “Me ! well, really,” replied the astonished Robert, “will you have the kindness to Inform me how I am desefving of your congratulations ? ’ -Why, in jour choice,” she hesitated, “of a—a—wife, Miss Fenton.” ■Miss Ca i# F enton !” he exclaimed; “byjerel there is s#me terrible mia- ' take here somewhere; I have never ] spoken three words to her in my life. ( H»ve you any objeo on to reveal the I name of tkisinterea.lng tale bearer?” “Mr. Ashland was the one who in- ] formed me of your engagement.” He got up, crossed over, and took a seat nearer to her. “Miss Haviland,” i he said, smilingly, “excuse me. but this j seems to be getting ready amus’tg John Ashland it was who fi.ot informed mo of your approaching marriage with Captain Dudley." “And that,” she said, pausing aud looking down into the grate, “and that was why you stopped visit.ng here so suddenly ?” “Thai’s it eractly, he replied. The ticking of the small bronze time piece ou the man le sounded clear and dis(.i"ct in t*'e stillness that followed. Both occupied with their own thoughts, for gome few moments neither spoke.

; He was the first to break the silunce. 1 Moving his chair close up to Ediths, and resting his arm on the back ot her s in a quiet, firm voice, lie said : 1 “Edith if I may be permitted to ad , dress you thus, our acquaintance has 1 bean of short duration, and a declaration es my feelings towards y#u now 1 must surely be deemed l»y yen as premature; but notwithstanding this fact, I cannot resist the temptation to tel! you that., short as the time has been. I have learned to love you dearly and t uly. During my former visits here I fancied my presence was not altogether disagreeable to you. Tell me,” he said, letting his firm drop from the back of her chair so as to encircle her waist, “tell me—was I mistaken ? Her head sank on his breast and lowering his their lips met. He had not been mistaken. A ring at the door announced the family's return. Robert Emerson was heartily welcomed by all, and that night was the happiest he had ever spent in his life, for when he had bade Edith good night it was as her accepted suitor. John Ashland's little game although well played, was beaten by a New Year’s call. A Medleal Uwroine. The Crawfordsville Journal tells th# following sweet story : For some time »ast Miss Mattie French, of near this ci y, and daughter of the late Miller French, has been •tudying medicine with Dr. Montagy.e, and during this winter has been attending medical lectures at Indianapolis. A short time ago a small boy was ; tak#n before the class to be operated on for a bad burn on one of his legs. It was found necessary to have a piece of flesh from some other quarter to repair the burn and Dr. Eastman called on a valunteer from the class to furnish the meat.

[Vincennes Son, Jantrv-y 11] A cheap city paper yesterday published the foolish rumor that the remains of the late Govorner Williams | had been removed from their last restj ing place, “probably.” We have it on the authority of a . gentleman whe has seen the grave ev- ' ery second day since the interment, that the rumor is entirely without foundation ; that the grave rema’ns undisturbed, only having slightly sank ] when it rained the week following the j inte’mext. The killing of the watchdog is also current rumor. We are in- t ] formed t .at the dog disappeared a few ■ days afts: the interment, and has not b«"n seen sin#c. It is supposed that | 1 petty thieve# killed him so that lie ■ I would not interfere with their depre- ] datious. 1 Mr. James S. McCoy, eon-in law of 1 the late Governor, had a valuable dog killed by... streaks while the Governor 1 lay on his death-bed. a Tire Water. On Friday of last week came from Marion, Indiana, the particalars of a horrible death which t >ok place a the Indian settlement, lome nine miles from that plac#, and which has never before had a c#mp*r ; son iu this coun- 1 try.

Five eggs, one cup butter, two cups flour two teaspoons of pearl ash; beat the eggs separately, cream the sugar and butter together, add to them the yolks, and after they are well beaten mix in the whites aud the flour, dissolve the pear! ash in milk and stir in just before b king. ROAST RABBITS. Skin and clean out the interior of the rabbit and fid it with a stuffing made of bread crumbs, butter; half a pint of shell-bark kernels, chopped fine • season with pepper, salt, summer-savoury aud a little sweet marjoram, rubbed fine ; put it in a good oven, and while roasting, baste it with plenty of butter and dredge it occasionally with flour. Thirty-five minutes roasting is sufficient. Boil the liver with a dozen sprigs of parsley; when quite tender chop both up fine, and add them to melted butter, as a sauce; have also another sauce beat With plain gravy, made of the drippings from the rabbits, thickened with a little flour and water, or, much better, a little Maderia wine. CHOCOLATE BAVARIAN CHEESE. Dissolve four ounce of eacao-paste; place it on a moderate fire, and stir constantly with a wooden spitula until , it is thoroughly smooth and at the boil- , ing point ; then add to it half a p'nt of boiling cream, six ounces of powdered 1 sugar and one ounce of dissolved gelatine ; after which strain and rub the ] whole through a fine hair sieve into an ] earthen tureen, which you have placed |in pounded ice ; after it has stood sis- j teen minutes and begins to thicken, stir it continually until the whole becomes very smooth and sleek. Now remove it from the ice and gradually add and stir quickly into it one quart ( of well-drained whipped cream. Now f fill the mold, which you place in poundded ice, let it so remain for half an 1, hour, when it may be turned out in the usual mann.: -. , BCAI.LO: ED OYSTERS. Butter a baking dish and sprinkle a layer of ci acker Climbs over the bottom. Warm the oysters very slightly , in their own liquor; then arrange asingle layer of them over the crumbs, 1 * placing them close together. The juice j i which clings to each oyster will be sufficient 10 moisten the crackers, tin- ] less you use the latter too liberally. Season with pepper, salt and a general f allowance of butter cut into little bits. . Put on another layer of cracker crumbs ! t then mo's oysters and seasoning, and ' ? continue alternate layers, until the I dish is full. Make the top layer of | the cracker crumbs thicker tian the 1 * ivermediate ones. Cover, and bake . in a quick oven for fifteen minutes, .lie n remove the tap and bro» .i the top on the upper grating. A large , dish will require a little longer, a slow oven and too long eooking will com- j pletely ruin them. t CANNING SAUSAGE MEAT. ( We have been putting to test says a ; < correspondent of tho Ohio Farmer, our | t original experiment of canningsausage ; t meiU, and it may be the experimen. t may piove a failure ; but from present t appearances we are confident the result f will piove most favorable, and our sau- ! 1 , sage will be preserved in better shape ( than ever before. We have put up j some tw .ty f->nr quarts, using both tin and glass cans, and the meat seems . to be keeping very nicely so far. We ii- 1 tend to keep a few cans unc.l next bar-; i vest time, a ..1 ui..by t.oat time th* i test will be sufficient. Of.r inode of canning was as follows: After toe meat j was ground fine, it was put in a g-anite I ware kettle, some twen'y five pounds ' at a time, saasoned to suit the tas-e, with pulverized sage, black pepper ground,:nd salt; mix thorougly as it ia .mating, bring the meat to scalding heat, then fill the cans, packing die meat snugly, and when full, put a couple of snocnfuls of heated lard over the top. Seal directly and set the « ■ .-s ii a cool rdace. Trv the recipe, sisters, and re- ■ port result. MINCE MEAT. | Two pounds of beef, boiled and chop- j I ped ; three pounds of suet, chopp; four j pounds of apples, chopped; three pounds cf currants, tw* pound* of raisins, one and a half pounds of sugar; . theju'eeof four lemons, th* grated j peel of two; mace, cinnamon, geloves,! allspice and nutmeg to suit th* taste; ! on* pint of white wine, half a pint of : port wine, and half a pint of brandy. The wine and brandy may be omitted I aud sweet cider substituted. FRIED OYSTERS. Drain, remove all bits of shell, and . sprinkle with pepper and salt, and set .in a cool place for ten minutes. Then, 1 I if the oysters are small, pour them into a pan of crackers rolled fine; add ; I liquor, mix well and let stand fivo min--lute*; add a little salt and pepper, mold t into small cakes, with two or three oysters in each, roll in dry crackers and

fry in lard and butter. Serve hot in a covered dish. BUCKWHEAT CAffES. Take one cake of dry yeast, National, (or, if you want to make them fresh every day, you can use compressed yeast,) dissolve tho yeast in a cup of warm water, and mix in wheat flour to make a stiff batter, and set covered in a warm place about three hours before you want to make your batter, then scald a cup of Indian meal, and stir until smooth and free from lumps; then add about five cups of buckwheat and a tablespoonful of salt, and mix with cold water until it is about the right thickness; then add y*ur sponge of yeast and set in a warm place till morning. In the morning, beat it up well and add two tablespoonfuls of molasses t» your batter. Now, use a piece of beef suet to grease your griddle, and you will have good cakes ; and if you have a little batter left, say a teacupful, you need not put in any more yeast for the next day, but use that to raise the next. vat field and III* t abs »et [ Wash no > 1 Ph ] ‘lf Garfield had any backbone w* might be able to ceunt upon his cabinet selections with certainty, but he hasn't,’ was the confidential remark to a Post reporter yesterday. ‘What is the position about which there is the most contention ?’ asked the Post. ‘Two or three are in great demand. The fact is the Grant men, as represented by Conkling, want the two principal positions of power and patronage.’ ‘What are they ?’ ‘The treatury and the postoffice.’ ‘And why can’t they have them ?’ ‘Because Blaine and his friends—the anti-Grant crowd—the men who defeated Grant at Chicago, ar* determined that they shan’t have them. Blaine is right. C*nkling defeated him, and Blaise's friends are now determined—having the power—to pare his claws, so that hereafter he will not be dangerous.’ ‘But Conkling is to have something, is he not?’ Certainly, if he will take it.’ ‘And what is that ?’ •His choice out of two of three of the Cabinet places—the war and navy departments aud the attorney Generalship.’ ‘And do you doubt that he will take what is offered him ?’ ‘I do. I do not believe that the man who saved New York and made Garfield's election possible will be pat off by any such cheap and rattling toys, where his rival—the man he hates as intensely now as h* did five years ago—is allowed the imperious direction which the Secretary of State will give to him.’ •Aud Garfield won't make up his mind you say ?’ ‘No, he hesitates, pretends to decide reconsiders! and-vacillate*. Tne truth is. he recognizes Conkling'* claim to th* best his admin.stration can afford, rhil* uis ueart aad sympathies are all with Blain* He wa« a Blaine man, yeu know before he want to Chicago, and was relied on by Blain* to lead the Ohio ho»t* to him after Sherman was diaposed of.’ ‘Well, what is going to be doae •bout it ?’ •It is difficult to say. Pretty soon—• just as »oon as it can be arranged — ther* will b* a wiMting *f Blain* and Garfield, with a few persons of influence and importance who are aolid with them, in some larg* city—large eaough to be a solitude. It wont be at Mentor at least. Then, if Blaine can pour sand enough into the eavitie* of Garfield’s anatomy, tho cabinet will ba fixed up and stay fixed. As it is now, every day they make a new one.
