A Colored CaUnr'n Kventful Career and Sucre, Jamea Wormley, the noted negro caterer of Washington, who died a few months ago, left a fortune of more than ouo hundred thousand dollars, which he made in keeping hotel. Mr. Wormley had a patent method of mak ing beef tea, and he prepared much of the last food eaten by Charles Sumner. President Lincoln and President Car field. During (Jarlield's last days he used to take this beef tea every morn ing from his hotel to tho White House, and Carfield relished it when he could eat nothing else. It was made by broil ing the tenderloin of a porterhouse steak, and while the meat was yet smoking, putting it into an iron re ceiver heated for tho purpose. A crank was then turned which brought hun dreds of pounds of pressure on the steaming steak causing every particle of its juice to stream forth. A little seasoning and the tea was ready. There was no water about it, and it was tho pure Juiee of the beef. Mr. Wormley also made chicken broth for (iarfield, and the chickens used came from his own farm near this city. His hotel was a high-priced one, and his dinners on special occasions cost as high as ono hundred dollars a plate He was especially noted as a terrapin cook, and he considered cooking such an art that be sent bis son, who now manages the hotel, to Paris, to take lessons of the noted cooks there. Wormley was tho first to introduce the terrapin into England. He took them with him when ho went along with Keverdy Johnson, who was the American Ambassador, ns cook to the legation. It is said that the terrapin d d more to accomplish the ends of the United States than all of the speeches. The best terrapin in the world, by tho way, is found right on tho Poto mac, and this to such an extent that tho Washington terrapin is fast getting a cosmopolitan reputation. The foreign legations eat a ' great many of them, and diamond back ter rapin has become as essential an clement of a court dinner as the roast beef and fish. It is a rich man's dish, however, for the smallest terrapin, properly gotten up, will cost you four dollars. It will take two good sized terrapins to make a dinner for twelve persons, and tho additional expense will bo about ten dollars. Secretary Uayard has a national reputation as a terrapin cook, anil it is said lie alwav fixes tho dish in the kitchen before be dresses to receive his guests. St. Louis utooe-Democrat.

For the last twelve years, complaints have been made In trans-Mississippi regions, particularly from the plain and mountain region, of death to live stock from eating supposably poisonous plants. Investigation traced the cause to two genera, either to species of Astragalus nearly allied to tho lupine and to Oxytropis plants, belong to the pea family a family (LeguminoMr) not considered heretofore as containing virulent poisonous species, but which does contain many food and forage plants. Like the plant producing milk sickness, stock do not seem to eat it naturally, but. once they begin, they continue persistently. Those two genera of plants aro found throughout the plains and mountain regions to and including California. Of Astragalas there are a great number of species. In California some of them grow with tho habit and vigor of lucerne. It is also said to grow on high and low, wet and dry land. The species Oxytropis, poisonous to stock, is said to be partial to damp ground and Is perennial, grow ing up each season from the root. . The symptoms of the disease are temporary intoxication, passing to complete nerv ous and muscular wreck in tho later stages, and, fully developed, death ensues from starvation from ' Inabil ty to digest food. During the proriounOd stages of the disease the animal be comes stupid, wild, or vicious, some times acting as though possesed by blindst aggers. No antidolo has yet been discovered, benco extermination of the plants is the only remedy. This may be considered weli-nigli impossible over the great range of wild feeding grounds. In cultivated pastures, how ever, it may easily bo managed. The common name of the Austragalus, is milk-vetch and a number of apecics are described by tiray as ex'sting cast of the Mississippi, none known to be in jurious, the species injiirous being found only west of the Mississippi, and onlv, it is believed, as we approach the plains regions. Astragalus Mollissimus. one of the weeds to which the general name of loco weed is given, is a perenn al herbace ous plant, of the region of the great plains from Colorado to New Mexico. Texas and Arkansas. There are usually a great many stalks proceeding from a largo root stalk. Tliey are reclining' towards the bnso and erect above. The stalks are so short that the leaves and flovver-stalks seem to proceed directly from the root. They aro branching at the base and give rise to numerous leaves and long stems bear.ng tlio Mowers and pods. The leaves aro usually six to ton inches long, composed of nine to fifteen leallets, homo on each side of tho central leaf-stalk in pa rs, except the upper one. They aro of oval form, ouc-half to three-quarters of an 1 1) oh long, of a shin ng silvery hue. from being clothed with soft, silky hairs. Tho flower stalks are about as long, sometimes lunger, than the stalk of leallets, naked below, and at the upper part (one-fourth to one-half), bearing a rather thick spiko of flowers, which are nearly an inch lung, narrow, and somewhat cyl ndrlc.L the carolla (inner wvering of tho flower) of,a velvet or purple color, the calyx (tlowcr-cup) half as long as the carolla, and softly pubescent (hairy). The flower has. the general structure of the pea family, and is suc ceeded by short, oblong, thickish pods one-half to three-quarters of an inch long, very smooth, and with ubont two seeds each. Oxytropis Lambertl There are two varieties ono largo and ono small of this species, also known as "loco .weed." They belong to tho same family as the one previously described. Tho onlv dill'erence except size is that the smaller of tlio two is more hairy or downy than tho larger variety. Tho larger variety is about the sizo of the Astragalus, just described, and liko it grows in strongly-rooted clumps, but it ii i Hers in having an erect habit, with shorter leaves and longer and more Btillly erect flower-stalks. The leallets aro longer and narrower about one inch long by one-quarter to one-third inch wide and hairy, especially on tho upper surface. The flovver-stiilk pro ceeds from the root-stalk, and is usually nine to twelve Inches long and naked except near the top, which has a rather close and thick cluster of flowers, much like those of the Astragalus in general appearance but differing only in some minute characters, but yet which sepa rate it into another genus. The bloom is succeeded by erect, lance-oblong pointed pods ot about an Inch in length. The flowers are subject to much varia tion In color, some varieties being purple, some yellow and others being white. The species is very abundant on the high plains and in the mount a:ns. ranging from Uritish America to Mexico. From the fact that it Is more common than Astragalus, and also more of a plains than a mountain species, it may be inferred that this !s the plant that has g ven so much trouble in Western Iowa and espec'ally westward. It is impor tant that every farmer or employe of of tho farm should know it in order to e.Teet its erad cat on. Unlike tho plant product? milk-sickness, there is little. probablitv that it will die out In pastures. It is indigenous to a wide range of territory and soil. It must lo eradicated by special means, Asitiaa fibiniis rooted perennial, this may be accomplished by tlirnst'tig a eh sel edged spade under it and prying it out. It may seem like a er nu la bor, but necessary, since the shorter the pasture becomes the more and more w II s'ocn become a Idiote I to eating it. and. like niiik-sieknes, no reined v is known for the disease.

Texas Sitingn, A BURGLAR'S BACK-DOWN. How He llegan by Demanding; Much and Ended by Accepting Little. It was night midnight This indi cates that there is going to be some thing goroful about this story. Rut there isn t. it it. Tho soft murmur o a sou'-sou'west zephyr was audible in the interst cos of the darkness. Mr. Bucephalus K. Smock did not hear it. He was wrapped in the arms of slumber. Res'do tho bed stood a solemn figure. It was a man -clal in mystery, a paper mask, and a ten dollar suit of clothes. Tho man was a burglar. Hu had entered the palat'al residence of R. K. Smock by means of a skeleton key, and he carried in his hand a glit ter ng stiletto. While he was preparing to toss up a cent to see whether lie should murder R. K. Smock or not, R. K. awoke. "What do you want?" he asked. "Your money or your life!" replied the burglar, in a ghastly, corpse-liko, Tombstone, Arizona, whisper. "Well," said R. K. Smock: "this is where you don't get e ther." And he drew a forty-four caliber navy revolver Irom beneath bis pillow and pointed it at tho burglar's soul. "llldon!" exclaimed the burglar: "I don't want all your money. I ll take three dollars, aud let it go at "No three," said Smock. "Make it two-fifty " "No." "I'll take thirty-seven centa," said the burglar, desperately. "Not a thirty-seven.'"' said Smock. "Now, see here," said the burglar, persuasively: "vou aren't going to send me away without anything, are you?" "Yes. sir; I ara." "Well, hold on; let's talk this thing over.

The lAverjool Daily Post says : "A day or two ago a gentleman, while i conversation with a prominent array officer, was made acquiiited with a most thrilling account of prolonged suffering and ultimate rescue expe rienced by one of the oldest engineers in Liverpool. The name of the latter gentleman is Mr. Willam Buchanan, who, upon being visited, made the following statement: 'I haTe been twenty-four years in the service of the Cunard Steamship Company, and I reside at 8 St. John's Koad, Kirk dale, Liverpool. Two years ago, whilo attending church one day, I was sud denly attacked with a most excruciat ing pain iu my head, which so com pletely prostrated me that I had to be conveyed to my home. Then followed twelve months of agony, which it is utterly impossible to describe. I had to resign my position, being entirely incapacitated from work. Medical opinion was divided as to what my malady really was. One doctor do cided that I was suffering from a rheumatfc affection of the brain, another that it was an overflow of blood to the brain, and another that it was acute neuralgia of the head. All agreed, however, that it would lead to softening of tht brain. Six of tho most eminent physicians in' Liv erpool attended me, but afforded- me no relief. My case was regarded as incurable, anil my sufferings were so great that I often became unconscious and fairly crazed fiom pain. I could neither seo nor hear for days at a time, and during the fearful attacks of pain my cries often attracted the attention of the neighbors, .My house was pointed out as one in which a man lay at death's door, and some of my paroxysms of pain were so great that it required two and sometfmcs three strong men to hold me in bed. My physicians held consultations, but all of no avail. My sufferings re mained the same. My family were in despair, and, at one time they re garded me so near death that, in addi tion to three physicians who were in attendance, two clergymen were sum moned to my bedside. At that time my wife's attention was called to a new remedy which was then being introduced, and which claimed to be a cure for rheumatism and neuralgia. She procured a bottle, and applied the contents to my head. Neither she nor I had any confidence in the remedy, but it was like a drowning man catching at a straw, and it looked like the last hope. The remedy acted like magic. It saved my life. I foci sure, my family and my friends feel sure, that had I not used it I would be dead, instead of alive and hearty and in perfect health, as you see me here. All other treatment had en tirely failed, and wonderful to relate, I have never had the slightest return since I was cured some months ago. I have re-enterrd my old position, and in giving you the foregoing facta, I can only repeat that St. Jacobs Oil which is the remedy referred to- saved mv hie. My case is no secret. My friends and neighbours know all about it, und are likewise familiar with mv terriblo sufferings, and my former helpless and hopeless condi tion. My cure was considered so marvellous it has become much talked over and is well known that I have received over 200 visits and letters on the subject. To all of these I have simply stated the facts as I have related them to you." "A call was then made upon Messrs. Buddcn and Co., Chemists, 3'J'J Stan ley Koad, Kirkdale, from whom Mrs. Buchanan procured the oil, und Mr. Gill, the manager, fullv verified the statement which had been made to the reporter, and said this was only one of the many remarkable cures effected by St. Jacobs Oil which had come under his personal notice, lie also added that his firm were daily re ceiving expressions as to the wonder ful benefits people derived from the use of this marvellous oil, especially when suffering from rheumatism or neuralgia.
