Peril* of Sleeping O&n. - ~ There is a good deal of interest manifested these days on the part of the American people relative to the matter of separate sleeping oars for the two sexes. It is a move in the right direction, and wo hope it will win. As it is now, no gentleman traveling alone is safe. Several months ago, entirely alone, wc traveled from Laramie to Chicago and hack, making the round trip with no escort whatever. Our wife was detained at home, and thaCentire journey was made with no one to whom we could look for protection. When we returned our hair had turned perfectly white with the horror of those dreadful nights. There was one woman from Philadelphia, whose name we will not mention, and who rode all the way between Omaha and Chicago in one car. Almost the first thing when we started out of Omaha she began to make advances toward ns by asking us if wo would not hold her lunch basket while she went after a drink. She also asked us for our knife to peel an orange. These things look small and insignificant, but in the light of latter developments they ar* of vital importance. That evening we saw with horror that the woman’s section was adjoining our own. We asked the conductor if this could not be changed; but he laughed coldly and told us to soak our head, or some such unfeeling remark. That is one bad feature of th* present system. A man traveling alone gets no sympathy or assistance from the conductor. It would b* impossible to describe th* horror and appreciation of that awful night. All through iU vigils we suffered on till near morning, when tired nature yielded, and we fell into a troubled sleep. ' There we lay, fair and beautiful, in the soft gray of approaching day, thousands of miles from our home, and, less than ten feet away, a great horrid woman from Pennsylvania, to whom we had not even been introduced. How we could have slept so soundly under the circumstances we are yet unable to tell, but after perhaps twenty minutes of slumber we saw, above the footboard of our berth, and peering over at us, th* face of that woman. With a wild bound w* were on our feet in the aisle of the car. The other berths had all disappeared but ours. The other passenger* were sitting quietly in their sea'A, and it was halfliast nine o’clock. The woman from ’ennsylvania was in the day coach. It was only a horrid dream. But supposing it had been a reality! And any man that travels alone is liable to be insulted at any time. We do not care for luxury in traveling. All we want is the assurance that we are safe. The experience which we have narrated above is only one of a thousand. Did you not* the care-worn look of the , man who is traveling alone? The wild, : haunted expression on the countenance and the horrible apprehension that is depicted there ? You may talk about the various causes that are leading men downward to early . graves, but the nervous strain induced by the star that while they are taking ■ out their false teeth or buttoning their j suspenders, prying eyes are looking ; over the foot-board of their berths, is ; constructing more new-made graves than consumption or the Ute war.— , Nye's Boomerang. GEMS OF THOUGHT. j Silence does aot always mark wisdom. i Ho that sips of many arts drinks of 1 none. Literature is the immortality of speech. — Schlegel. The purest treasure mortal times afford is spotless reputation. A man must become wise at his own expense.— Montaigue. Every man has just as much vanity as he wants understanding.— Pope. Our best things are near us. Lie close about our feet. Moderation is the silken string running through all virtues. In these days we fight for ideas, and newspapers are our fortresses. — Heine. To select well among old things is almost equal to inventing new ones.— Trublet. 11l habits gather by unseen degrees, as brooks make rivers, and rivers run to sea. Be brief, for it is with words as with sunbeams, the more they are condensed the deeper they burn. — Southey. There is no sorrow I have thought more about than that to love what is great, and try to reach it, and yet to Fail.— George Eliot. All common things, each .lays events. That with the hour begin and end. Our pleasure* and our discontents Are rounds by which we may ascend. —Longfellow. The good things of life are not to be had singly, but come to us with a mixture; like a school-boy’s holiday, with a task affixed to the tail of it.— Charles Lamb. Be like the bird, that, halting In her flight Awhile, on boughs too slight, Keels them give way beneath her, and yet sings. Knowing that she hath wings. — Victor Hugo. Love is the best investment of all, save conscience and the sentiment of duty. These are the treasure-houses of life, the great market wherein the shares are always rising. The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried. Grapple them to thv soul with hooka of steel; But do not dull thy palm with entertainment Ot each new hatched, unpledged comrade, —Shakspeare. Usually the greatest boasters are the smallest workers. The deep rivers pay a larger tribute to the sea than shallow brooks, and yet empty themselves with less noise.— IK. Seeker. k ■ — The Original PennyThe old, old penny in England, m in other countries, was of silver, and its ttppearance throughout the earliest period of its history would rather astonish - those who know nothing of numismatic « lore. From the Saxon times, in which it was the only piece of silver extant, till those of Edward I. it was stamped with a square cross. This enaoied the coin to be readily broken into halves or quarters, which then served the purpose of halfpence or farthings. But the latter coin was not much inferior to the value of the present English penny, inasmuch as the unbroken piece was valued at one-thirtieth of a mark, or three-pence sterling. At this time rive of them seem to have made a shilling, so that the relations between what are now chief English silver and bronze coins have entirely altered in the course of six centuries. King Edward, who reformed coinage, like everything else, was the first to issue pennies without the indented cross; and to make up for the loss of the queer-shaped half-pen-nies and farthings hitherto in use, supplemented the silver coinage with circular pieces, bearing the same value and denomination, lie fixed the standard of the penny moreover, by ordering that it should weigh thirty-two grains of well-grown wheat or, which was probably a more accurate test, that twenty pennies should weigh one ounce. The Commissioner of Agriculture. Peck's Sun. Dr. Loring, the new commissioner of agriculture, in place of the enthusiastic Le Due, is said to be the handsomest man in public life at Washington, and that his beauty ic fully equal to that of

Nicholas Smith, the husband of Ida Greeley, though of a different type, i Smith is a pronounced blonde, with . dreamy blue eyes and hair of a radiant . red, while Loring is a brunette, tall and tiger like. His dark eyes flash an imi perious flash, as he comes suddenly upon a monster pumpkin or Hubbard squash at a country fair, and he handles an ear of corn in a rakish and piratical ’ sort of way that mashes a country girl ' as though a New York building, built on contract, had fallen on her. Like Conkling he has made attitude a study, and clothes himself in a freezing air that carries an uncomfortable chill to *ll his subordinates. "Bring me a i package of turnip seed!” h* hisses through his set teeth, in a manner that causes a menial to tremble and turn pale. He entered bis office for the first time the other day, and found his desk, the one recently occupied by Le Due, covered with what appeared to be clo- ' ver hulls and dirt, and he inquired what it was. “Tea,” said a humble servitor. "Tea!” thundered Loring, “tea! 1 Out with the accursed stuff and don’t let m* see any more of it!” H* did not care so much about the tea, but he wanted to give them a specimen of his style. Pursuing his investigations, he came upon a couple of tons of cornstalks, from which the juice had been extracted. and then he let himself out. The storm raged, lightnings flashed, the groans of the dying mingled with the yells of I he victors, and ed as Kosciusko fell, and the were dumped out on a dray and carted away. There is a firm hand at thy* helm of the ship of state, in the agricultural department at Washington, and the country can rest in security. * i » THE MARKETS. Cliicaao. Flour—Steady and unchanged.

Domestic Receipt*. pancakes.—Beat up three eggs and a quart of milk; make it up into a batter with flour, a little salt, a spoonful of ground ginger, and a little grated lemon peel; let it be of a fine thickness and perfectly smooth. Clean your fry-ing-pan thoroughly, and put into it a good lump of dripping or butter; when it is hot pour in a cupful of batter, and let it run all over of an equal thickness; shake the pan frequently, that the batter mav not stick, and when vou think it is done on one side, toss it over; if you cannot, turn it with a slice, and when both are of a nice light brown, lav it on a dish before a fire; strew sugar over it, and so do the rest. They should be eaten directly, or they will become heavy. Ice Pudding.—Boil in a farina boiler three pints of milk, or one quart of water; while boiling, sprinkle in slowly one-quarter of a pound, or four large tablespoonfuls, of farina; continue a brisk boiling for about half an hout; when done, turn it into jelly moulds, < and place it in ice or cold water to stiffen. It thus becomes a beautiful ornament for the table, and may be eaten with wine, or other sauce, pulverized suo-ar, or any condiment more pleasing to "the taste. This pudding, even when a day or so old, may be sliced and fried brown, forming an excellent dish for breakfast. Cabinet Pudding.-Two cups of prepared flour, three tablespoonfuls of but- I ter, creamed with the sugar, five eggs, I one cup of sugar, one-half cup of milk, I one-half lemon juice and grated peel. Add the beaten yolks to the creamed . butter and sugar, then the milk and flour, alternately with the whites. Lastly, stir in the fruit (dredged with flour), pour into a buttered mould, and boil two hours and a half. Eat hot with liquid sauce. Marmalades, Jams, and Pickles, la * making marmalades, jams, etc., if put up in small quantities and for immediate use, three-quarters of a pound of sugar to one pound of fruit is sufficient; but if desirable to keep them longer, a pound of sugar to a pound of fruit is a better proportion. As in preserves, the best sugar should be used. Apple Marmalade.—Peel and s.ice the apples; weigh, and put into a kettle . and stew until tender; wash fine, and add sugar in proportion of pound to { pound; let them cook slowly, stirring very frequently; be careful not to allow it to scorch; when the mass has a jellied appearance it is done. About Half y an hour will generally be found sufficient for making the marmalades after j adding the sugar. Quince and Peach Marmalades. — 1 These are made in the same way as th* apple. They should be put up in tumblers or very small jars. They are considered very good for tarts and tartlets. Broiled Oysters on Toast. —Procure large, creamy oysters, drain on a cloth, ana season with pepper and salt. Have some melted butter in a large, flat fry-ing-pan. drop the oysters in, fry for two minutes or so, only to stiffen the oysters on each side; range them closely on a hot and buttered double gridiron, and broils slight brown on noth sides over a moderate fire; range on thin, buttered toasts on a dish; pout the butter used to stiffen the oysters over, surround with quartered lemons, , and serve. Life’* Brief CandleThis “death” business is a strang* affair. Here we sit, smoke, chat, and discuss with a friend to-day. To-mor-row we read of his death, and next day send flowers to his funeral. What is it that goes away from ns? And being out, where does the thing go to? It doesn’t seem exactly fair to put a fellow here with faculties and chances, and just as he begins to see how to us* the one and improve the other to take him away again. We had no choice about coming, and we have none about going. So where’s the free agency idea coming in!---Joe Howard.

To Whom it may Concern : In the year 1875 I treated with Kendall s | Spavin Cure, a bone spavin of several months growth, nearly half is large as a hen’s egg, and completely stopped the lameness ami removed the enlargement. I have worked the horse ever since very hard, and he never has been lame, nor could I ever see any difference in the size of the hock joints since I treated him with “Kendall's Spavin Cure.” R. A.

About thirty-fivs years ago, while riding a young ugly horse I was injured in one of my testicles, and from th»t time to three weeks ago a slow but constant enlargement has been the result, giving me a great amount of trouble, almost entirely preventing me from horseback ri ling, wre. h was my usual way of traveling.
