The rewards offered for Sam Bass, the Texas train-robber, dead or alive, amount to SII,OOO. It is estimated that 400,000 acres of new ground will be put under cultiva tion in Northern Minnesota this season. Eight ladies of Buffalo started for Europe on the 22d, intending to do” England on foot. They are to be under the charge of Mrs. Joseph D. Forbes. About 300 teachers are going on an excursion to Europe this summer at a cost to each one of S4OO for the round trip, equal to $120,000. John Quigley, aged 18 years, reach ed Mechanicsville, lowa, from County Ross, Ireland, the other day, meeting his father for the first time in his life. The Gregorian calendar is likely to be adopted in Russia. The Council of State and ministers have been using both the eld and new styles. Capt. Paul Boynton continues his swimming expeditions in Europe, and has just made a week’s trip down the Garonne, in France. He does the Seine next. In the rank and file of the infantry of Great Britain in 1840, nearly 60 per eent. were Scotch and Irish; in 1863, the percentage was about 44; in 1868, it stood at 40; and in 1877 at 30. A big dog in Paris, Ky., is a friend of drunkards in need. Whenever he sees a staggering man, he sticks to him until home is reached, or watches at the wayfarer's side if he falls in the gutter. At Miss Platt’s wedding at the White House no lace was worn on the bride's dress, there were neither groomsmen nor bridesmaids, and there was no wine, but lemonade, tea, cbffee, and ice water. Columbus, Ga., boasts of a remarka ble rooster which, after deliberately set ting on a nest of duck eggs, has suc ceeded in hatching out seven young ducks, which he is now attempting to take care of. At Warsaw, Wis., there is a lady’s club wherein the rule is that no morn ing dress shall cost more than $25, no evening dress more than SSO, and no bonnet more than $7.50. At each quar terly meeting each lady must declare that she owes neither a milliner nor a dressmaker. There are more th^n 9,600,000 acres of cotton-lands in Texas, which, if cul tivated, would yield a larger crop than that produced in the whole United States at the present time. Texas now raises one-fifth of the whole crop, and more than any other one State in the Union. The Toronto Globe gives an account of a shower of fishes which took place not long ago in Harwich Township, in which it is asserted that young living pike were distributed over a surface of three-quarters of a mile. They are sup posed to have been taken up from some pond or lake by a tornado. A Roman Catholic priest in Au- Ifurn, N. Y7, refused to allow a long funeral procession to proceed, recentlv, until the number of carriages was re duced to 12. His parishioners were so indignant that they took the coffin from the hearse and carried it bodily to the cemetery, over a mile distant. The Denver Niw* has the following cheerful news for Colorado invalids: “ A new process of preserving the body after death has been introduced in that city by Messrs. Beymeyer & Schrock, undertakers. The process is entirely different from embalming, the applica tion made outward in its character. The body is thereby kept in a wonderfully perfect state of preservation, while the limbs do not become rigid and stiff, but remain supple and soft, and the flesh re tains its natural color. Winter wedded spring at Williams burg, N. Y., last week, F. L. Dominick, 70, taking Miss Mary Marshall, 19, for his third wife. The young woman Was captured by the old gent’s dollars, for love of which she broke her engage ment with a young man of about 22, George W. Lewis, who had given her a wedding ring and S2BO with which to buy her household furniture. Lewis is now attempting to console his shattered fortune and affections with a breach-of promise suit for $5,000 damages. The extent to which gambling on the turf prevails in England is illustrated by the case of Sir Charles Nugent, offi cer of the 17th Lancers, who has just appeared before the Bankruptcy Court, with liabilities of $60,000 and assets of SIOO. He possessed property in Ireland worth $30,000 a year, but he went on the turf and lost all his property, on one occasion being out $25,000 on one race. His total losses on the turf he es timated at $300,000, and had previously once compromised with his creditors by paying 10s on the pound. A horse-thief visited the stable of H. H. Howlett, at Baraboo,a few nights ago and helped himself to a roadster. He saddled and bridled one of four horses found in the stable and set out at a dashing pace for other parts. Mr. How lett heard the noise and went out; a few moments after his horse returned, fully caparisoned as aforesaid. It was the bucking horse. The only trace of the thief was a place in the mud which look ed as though a man had alighted from a horse and upon his head and shoul ders. Elbctbic light has recently been em ployed, for the first time, to illuminate a Paris theater, the Chatelet, the system being that in use for the lamp-posts on the Place de I’Opera. For some months past the inventor, M. Jablochkoff, and M. Castellano, the manager of the Chatelet Theater, have been attempting experiments tlytt have finally succeed ad, and now ^he dazzling electric light throws Its brilliant radiance' over the ballets and the principal effects of the spectacular fairy pieces now being play ed at the Chatelet. Electric light will probably become of frequent use at theaters. One of the most remarkable cases on record is that of Mrs. Bell, of Oxford, Mich , who has lived for 20 years with out eating one mouthful of solid food, being troubled with what is supposed to be a cancerous affection of the stomach. During the past 20 years she has, most of the time, been able to do her own housework, not unfrequently being able to be around for a year or more. Her only means of sustenance is derived from liquids, a portion of solid food no I larger than a pea being sufficient to in-! duce the greatest agony. At times she suffers all rhe cravings of hunger, which she is obliged to allay, as above stated, with some kind of liquid food. | POLITICAL RECRIMINATIONS. Interesting Maeta Md Optalon. ttecard ina the Electoral Count. [From an Interview with Mr. Watterson in the New York Sun, June Sl.] You really think, then, that the Potter in vestigation revives the candidacy of Mr. Tilden? ‘■ft woqld be ungracious, as well as inex act and Irtiinoere, tn me to shy, ‘Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.' Besides, Mr. Tilden has been a most abused, misrep sented man, and I should be a most unjust one if I did not sympathize with the desire and intention of his friends to see his con duct throughout a trying ordeal put clearly, fully, and correctly before the country. It is too early to begin the work of making a President. But it is never too early to tell the truth. When the mists clear away, it will be found that many people have been misled and misrepresented by the blunder ing and muddling of that fussy man, Hew itt." Would you object to naming some of what yon consider to be Mr. Hewitt’s blun ders? “ His whole transaction of the business of the National Committee, of which chance had made him Chairman, was a mess and bungle. His flighty and ridiculous intrigues or would-be intrigues with Grant, his silly row and humiliating defeat with the Post office people.his incessant blatherskiting and egotism—why. he wanted to issue an ad dress early in December, resting our case upon the vote of Oregon, and a few of us had a time of it suppressing him. His latest escapade was to charge the Confederates of the House with betraying Tilden, when the objects of his rage had done just precisely what he had done himself, that is—voted for the Electoral bill and stood by the count.” Has not Mr. Hill of Georgia recently con firmed Mr. Hewitt’s view by a statement that there was a round-robin of 42 Confed erates? “ No, sir, he has not. I talked especially with him on this subject while I was in Washington, and he denies having'said any thing of the sort. What he said was the country owes the settlement of the succes sion to the fidelity of the Confederates, who, having voted for the Commission, carried ont its decision in good faith. An analysis of the vote for the Commission and for the count will show that Mr. Tilden’s immediate friends stood by both one and the other. It is true that Mr. Tilden was seriously op posed to the Electoral bill. But its support was mainly derived from hie nearest friends, Mr. Kernan and Mr. Barnum in the Senate. Mr. Hewitt and Mr. Field in the House. Coming South, the Confederates who sup ported it, and afterward stood by it, as Mr. Kernan and'Mr. Hewitt did, were'such men as Tucker, Hill, Gordon, Gibson, and Lamar —two of them entering upon six years* terms in the Senate, and two prominently named for the Cabinet should Mr. Tilden come in. The men who voted against the Commission, and who filibustered to obstruct the count (excepting Mr. Field, who joined in the lat ter) were generally hostile to Mr. Tilden. This is of itself sufficient answer to Mr. Hewitt’s gabble, very properly and promptly rebuked by Mr. Ellis. But behind it there was a caucus rule pledging the party to ' stand by the count. What motive, forex i ample, could Lamar and HUI have to feel lukewarm? They had just been elected : Democratic Senators. They had every I thing to lose and nothing to gain by the in coming of Hayes. As early as the 13th of ; December, Mr. Lamar joined Mr. Randall, Mr. Ottendorfer, and myself in sending a I telegram from New Orleans to Mr. Tilden of about this purport: “You have carried ■ Louisiana. The State will be counted against us. Issue an address to the country stating that you are elected, and will main tain your title.’ I think now that the coun try owes its peace and the Democratic party its united existence to the abstinence anil forbearance of Mr. Tilden, who could only have headed a popular emeute. But I did not think so then, and it is false of Mr. Hewitt to pretend at this late day that there was any improper collusion between South ern Democrats and the Hayes set. I am sure that Mr. Tilden himself is of a more just and discriminating turn of mind: but in this, as in other matters, it is not the first time be has been misrepresented by that frisky person who goes about with so much cry and so little wool.” But what about the Wormley conference? Mr. Watterson laughed. “Why, bless you,” he said, “the only Democratic mem bers of Congress who were there were Ellis and Levy of Louisiana and myself. I bad been asked to go along with them as a sort of witness and referee, and partly to Itani for Gen. Butler of South Carolina whether the intentions of the Hayes people were as honorable toward his State as toward Louis iana. The coming in of Hayes was already assured. I was as thoroughly committed to I it as Garfield, and so was Hewitt, and so were allot us who acted together inexecut . ing the will of the commission. Naturally and properly South Carolina and Louisiana wished to save what they could out of the wreck. They wanted ike troops removed. This was the burden of the talk on their side, while the Republicans present seemed to he aiming at impressing us with the no tion that they were not as big rascals as we took them to be. There was no agreement whatever, verbal or in writing. There was not a word said which might not have ap peared next day without embarrassing any body. Proctor Knott tells me—a circum stance I had forgotten—that I supped with him that night and gave him the particu lars. They were certainly known by every body who cared to learn them next day, there being no effort or occasion for con cealment. I was surprised and amused some months afterward to find an affair so insignificant elevated to the dignity of a I ‘ conference.’ It was nothing more' than a [ pow-wow between persons, who, having I differed on the main issue, were agreed up on the new phase of the situation—the fair I execution or the count and the just treat- I ment of the people of Louisiana and South Carolina, and who were not wholly lost to reason and good will.” You think, then, that the execution of the count was indispensable? “To be sure It was, and equally so as a matter of good faith and good policy. The surrender was the Electoral bill. After that we had nothing to do but to stand by It. Otherwise we should have drifted into dis solution and chaos.” Hewitt’s Reply to Watterson. [From a Letter to the New York Sun,Junetl.] Sir: Leaving you to reconcile with your sense of propriety the publication of such statements, not supported by any evidence, as you represent to have been made by Henry Watterson in regard to me person ally, and my connection with the late Presi dential election, it seems proper for me to say that ever since I refused to listen to bis insane and ridiculous proposition to call out “ 100,000 men” iu order to put Mr. Tilden into the White House, he has never ceased to misrepresent my declarations, purposes, and action with a malignity which he scarce ly seeks to disguise. Hitherto I have been silent, because his statements have been too vague to require denial. Now, however, be begins to descend to particular*. He has per-' sistently accused me nf suppressing a tele gram from Gov. Tilden in regard to the Electoral Commission, whereas the fact is that I never received from Gov. Tilden a telegram on that or any other subject after the meeting of Congress in 1876, and Gov. Tilden has assured me that he never sent any telegram to me, so that Mr. Watterson can not even justify his assertion by the poor excuse that it may have miscarried. I did, however, receive some telegrams from Mr. Cooper, which I had reason to believe were approved by Mr. Tilden, but no oneof these was ever suppressed or concealed from any person who had a right to know their eon tents. In the account of the Interview with him which you publish, he makes another state ment, which, perhaps, it Is well to contra dict, because ft enables me not only to prove that Mr. Watterson’s assertions are false,but to place my true position, so much misun derstood and so maliciously misinterpreted, before the public. Watterson says of me: “Why, he wanted to issue an address early in December (1878), resting our vote upon the return of Oregon, and alew of us bad a time in suppressing him.” That address will now, for the first time, be given to the public. So far from resting our vote on the return of Oregon,” it does precisely the op posite, and rests the Democratic ease upon the will of the people, upon substantial jus tice, and not upon technicalities of any kind. Mr. Wattersoahas no excuse for misrepre senting ft, for he heard it read; but he had nothing to do with suppressing it, be cause he was not a member of the National Committee, whose Executive Committee decided (against my will and protest) to issue merely a brief announcement, claiming the election of Tilden and Hendricks, with out resting the claim upon any grounds whatever. This, in my judgment, was a blunder, and at this distance we can now see the wisdom of the address which I had prepared, as follows: TUB SUrrRXSBaP ADDKXiS. , To tux Peoplx or tub Unit®p States: Pursuant to the provisions of the Constitution the Electoral Colleges met in the several States on the first Wednesday of December and cast 369 votes for President and Vice- President. Os this number Samuel J. Tilden and ThomM A. Hendricks each received 185 votes, while Rutherford B. Hayes and Wil liam A. Wheeler each received IN votes. On the face of the returns, therefore, already made public, but not yet officially counted by the two Houses of Congress, as required by the Constitution, Samuel J, Tilden is elected President, and Thomas A. Hendricks Vice- President of the United States. Included, however, in the IM counted for Hayes and Wheeler, are seven votes from South Carolina, four votes from Florida, and eight votes from Louisiana, which, in our t augment, belonged to and of right should lave been cast for Tilden and Hendricks; and in the votes counted for Tilden and Hen dricks is one vote from Oregon, cast by an Elector, who, while he did not receive a ma jority of the votes of the people of that State, old receive a certificate of election from t e Governor in accordance with the law of Orc gon, because the candidate who received the majority of the votes was ineligible by reason of the provisions es the Constitution of the United States. Assuming, therefore, that the intentions of the people, rather than the fraudulent returns in the three Southern States, and the provisions of the law in the Pacific State, should be respected in the final count by the two Houses of Congress. Tilden and Hendricks will then be declared elected by 203 votes cast for them, against 166 votes cast for Hayes and Wheeler. In either view of the ease, therefore, whether it be decided to make the count on the face of the certifi cates, or according to the real intention and actual vote of the people of the several States, tne Democratic National Committee feel that they are justified Hi claiming the election of Tilden and Hendricks, in accordance- with the strict provisions of the law, happily rati fied and confirmed, not only by a majority of all the States, but by a large majority of the popular vote of the whole nation. The committee have reason, however, to appehend that an attempt will be made, in plain violation of the provisions of the Con stitution, and of the expressed will of the people, so to preventthe final countingof the votes by the two Houses of Congress as to reject tne one vote of Oregon cast for Tilden end Hendricks, on the plea that it does not express the voice of the people of the State, and to count for Hayes and Wheeler the votes of South Carolina, F lorida, and Louisiana, on the plea that it is not competent to go behind the official returns, duly certified In accord ance with the provisions of law. The incon slMesicy of this position, however it may be disguised, is too obvious to deceive the peo ple, who, to use a phrase homely indeed but more expressive than a whole volume of rhetoric, believe that it is “a poor rule that will not work both ways." We utterly condemn, therefore, and boldly denounce all such fraudulent contrivances for the destruction of self -government, and we insist that when the votes shall he count ed it will be the duty of the two Houses of Congress to reject returns which, on proper examination, shall be found to be fictitious or fraudulent, and see to it that the real voice ot the people, uttered in accordance with the provisions and the spirit of the Constitution, shall be expressed, and not suppressed, con trary to the precedents of our fathers and the time-honored usages of the Republic. In this demand, so reasonable and so righteous, we expect to have the sympathy, support and co-operation of all good citizens who did not vote for Tilden, hut who are not prepared to seethe second century of the Republic in augurated by the success of fraud in the elec tions defeating the will of the people. We therefore call upon all lovers- of their eountry, without distinction ot party, to give full, free, and frankexpression to .their opln lons upon this question, whioh, in our judg ment, is fundamental to the preservation ot our national liberty, and to enlighten their representatives in Congress now assembled as to their duties In this great crisis of our institutions, established by the virtue, wis dom, and sacrifice of our forefathers, and which we are bound by every consideration of duty and self-Interest to maintain, and by every Impulse of patriotism to transmit un impaired to our children. This address was written by me in New York on the second or third Sunday in De cemlier, 1876, was submitted to Gov. Tilden on the same day, was approved with some slight modifications, copied in bls house by bis two secretaries, ana the copy thus made was the one read to the Executive Commit tee, and is now in my possession, together with the original draft in niv own handwrit ing. The only material difference between the draft and the copy is the following Shrase which was not approved by Mr. Tll en, and was omitted by bls request: “And to this end, while the people are yet free and independent, we invite them to as semble at their usual places of meeting in every city, town, and hamlet In the countrv, <m the Bth day of January next, to consider the dangers of the situation, and by calm, temperate, and firm resolves to enlighten their representatives In Congress assembled as to their duties In this great crisis of our Ipatltutioßs,” and So on, as in the address above printed. This disposes of the charge, so’ often made, that we lost the victory by my refusal to call meetings of the people to protest against the fraud Wattenon’a Rejoinder. New York, June 22.—Henry Watterson, editor of the Ix>uisville Courier-Journal, published in the Nun of Sundav an open letter to the Hon. Abrain S. Hewitt, in which he says: “You know, and I know, that Mr. Tilden disapproved of the Electoral bill. You know, and I know, that you spent Sunday, the lath of January, in New York City, and that he made bis objections suf ficiently known to you on Monday evening, January 15. A meeting of the Committee ot Advisement considered the terms of the hill hypotbeeally submitted to it; that at that meeting I opposed them; that von were as dumb as an oyster as to Mr.Tllden’a opinion; that finally we all agreed to support the measure,most of us believing itan emanation of our chief. I have charged and Ido charge that your failure to deal franklv with us on that occasion, your failure to'tell us what Mr. Tilden had said to you the day be fore, was a practical suppression of his more sagacious counsels and to all extents a be trayal of your friends. Now, I repeat and declare my charge of personal dishonor upon you, and as you don’t wish to tight it out, and I am sure I don’t, I will make you this proposition: You select two members of the Committee of Advisement, of which both of us were members; I will select two, and the four shall select a fifth, and if I do not make my charges good I will make you a public apology.” A Snake Stary Indeed. Shohola Falls, Pike County, Pa., June 19.—Jennie Wurtz, a German girl of New York City, who is summer ing at Shohola Creek, and her cousin, Miss Wolf, went trouting in the Shohola on Tuesday last. At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, having caught nearly 100 trout, they started for home by the way of “Ball Hill,” a place noted for its rattlesnakes. After they had walked about half a mile Miss Wurtz stepped upon an object that moved and threw herdown. Regaining her feet she saw two large rattle snakes crawling into the rocks and under brush. She had step ped upon one of them. With a stick that she had seized, Miss Wolf ent one rattlesnake in two. Miss Wurtz struck at another, but missed it. The snake that Miss Wolf killed was 54 feet in length and had 82 rattles. The girls took the rattles and continued on tneir way to the summit of ‘‘Ball Hill.” Here while resting they heard frequent and distinct rattles fromthe foot of Um hill. They walked to the edge of the summit and saw that the rocks beneath them were covered with rattlesnakes. Gathering together a pile of stones, they threw them in quick succession among the reptiles. Tea minutes later not a live snake was visible. The girls de scended and found 98 dead snakes, measuring from 24 to 6 feet in length, and with from three to thirty-seven rattles. Tying a string to two of the largest and dragging them along, the girls reached home at about dusk. On the following morning two neighbors brought from the den the remaining 96. —Coir. Sew York Sun.

Mildnibs conquers—and hence it Is that the gentle yet positive Influence of Dr. Bull’s Baby Syrup overcomes so quickly the disor ders of Babyhood. I Sensations in Hanging. Dr. R. S. Tracy writes in the Popular Science Monthly for July: Two remarkable examples are on record of persons who allowed _ them selves to be hung for the entertainment of an audience. An account of one of them is given ih the Lancet of April 17, 1847. The man’s real name was John Harnshaw,bnt he performed throughout England under the high-sounding pro fessional title of Monsieur Gouffe. He was an athlete,, and among other feats it was customary with him to exhibit the process of hanging. In this perforni ance he relied for security on the strength of the muscles of the neck and throat. He had a rope with a fixed knot which could not slip, and passed both ends of the loop behind one ear. The whole act was so adroitly managed that he prevented any pressure of the rope on the wind-pipe or the jugular veins, and could even sustain a weight of 150 pounds in addition to that of his own body. On three separate occasions Harn shaw mismanaged the rope and became unconscious, being luckily rescued each time. Dr. Chowne, who writes the ac count, says very truly: “It can not be doubted that as far as sensation and consciousness are concerned, Harnsbaw passed through the whole ordeal of dy ing; and, had he been permitted to re main hanging until actually dead he would have passed Out of existence with out further consciousness.” Now, this man stated, not with partic ular reference to either accident, but as common to all, that “he could hardly recollect any thing that happened to him in the rope;” that “he lost his senses all at once; the instant the rope got in the wrong place he felt as if he could not get his breath —as if some great weight was at his feet; could not move only to draw himself up; felt as if he wanted to loosen bimself. but never thought of his hands ” And he added: “You can not move your arms or legs to save yourself; you can not rai-e your arms; you can not think.” He did not see sparks or light, but had in his ears a rattling sound. All the evidence goes to show that death by hanging is painless, and there is positively no fact or well founded opinion to the contrary. If this be the case, then, what is the explanation of it? Simply this: that in every form of stran gulation the blood-vessels of the neck are compressed, as well as the air-pas sages. A large part of the blood is re turned from the head by the external jugular veins, which are very near the surface, and in which the current can be ' checked by slight pressure. Most of the blood from the brain itself comes back through the internal jugulars, which lie near, but a little outside of, the carotid arteries. The walls of veins are lax and yielding, so as to be easily compressed, while those of the arteries are firm and elastic, and it requires considerable force to approximate them. Pressure, then, which is sufficient to close the jugular veins, only crowds the carotids a little further inward, and the blood is still poured through them into the brain, whence it can not escape. When this pumping process is going at the rate of seventy strokes a minute, it is easy to understand how the engorgement of the vessels of the brain, in a very brief time, reaches a degree which causes insensi bility. To explain why this congestion causes unconsciousness would involve a technical discunsion which would here be out of place. It must suffice to say | that it does; so that, as the cerebral ; congestion in a hanged person brings on i insensibility within a minute, while the 1 physical agony of suffocation does not begin until later, it follows that the vic tim does not feel any of the pangs of asphyxia. He first becomes insensiole, with accompanying pleasurable feelings, from cerebral congestion, and then is choked to death while unconscious. A Church Which" Took 10,000 Men Eight Yean to Build. The Cathedral of St Sophia, at Con stantinople, says the Pall Mall Gant c. was built by the Emperor Justinian in the year A. D 568, and on the site ot another church which had been erected by Constantine the Great in 325, hut was afterward destroyed by tire. The architects of the present building were Anthemis of Tralles and Isodore of Mi letus. New taxes were imposed in or der to raise the funds necessary for the i construction of the edifice, which was to be built of such costly material as to । surpass in magnificence the famous temple of Solomon. Every kind of marble that could be found was pro cured for the columns—white marble with pink veins from Phrygia, green and blue marble from Libya, black mar ble with whita, veins and while with black veins, granite from Egypt, and porphyry from Sais. Ten thousand men were employed upon the work, and it was completed in eight years. The edifice is crowned with a gigantic cupo la, surrounded by nine smaller ones. They are supported by four columns •ach, and between them are eight porphyry columns from the Temple of the Sun at Raalbeck. Four green pilas ters from the Temple of Ephesus sup port the women’s choir, and there are 67 other columns, all of granite or red marble, and delicately carved, in vari ous parts of the building. Inside the great cupola is a gold inscription from the Koran, in letters 30 feet high, mean ing “ God is the light of heaven and earth.” At the four corners of the cen tral portion of the building are repre sentations of the four seraphims in mo saic, originally called archangels, but now named Abdbekr, Omar, Osman and Ali. The original sites of the al tar and pulpit have been altered, being now placed in a southeasterly direction (towards Mecca); and the pulpit is adorned with two flags, as a sign of the triumph of Mahometanism over Juda ism and Christianity. Nothing now re mains of the original altar, and. all the more valuable articles in the church were distributed by Sultan Mahommed among his troops at the capture of Con stantinople iu 1453. Steps art being taken by the Adiron dack Club, composed principally of wealthy residents of New York, to re store the great North Woods to their primeval condition, so far as game is concerned. With this end in view they have recently shipped from the wilds of Maine a magnificent pair of moose, the male standing over six feet high and weighing over 1,200 pounds. Four more of these animals are expected soon to arrive, and 10 game constables are to be appointed, at a salary of S2OO , each, to see that they are protected. Several Vermont juries having de elded that lager-beer is not intoxicating, I the State Reform Club at Rutland has . passed a resolution asking the next Leg islature “to declare all malt liquors to be intoxicating in the meaning of the ' statutes of the State.” Speaking of Stewart’s hotel, we be lieve that Eve would have been a failure had not Adam been around. I < FARM AND FIRESIDE. Graham Gems.—l cup of sweet milk, i cup of sugar, X tablespoonful of melt ed butter, 1 egg, 2 teaspoonfuls of bak ing-powder ; mi* to thick batter with Graham flour; fill the pans a little more than half full. They will bake In 15 minutes in a quick oven. Grape Preserves.—Wash the fruit, press the pulp into an earthen dish, the skins in another; cook the pulp suffi ciently and put through a colander; weigh pulp and skins, then take I of a pound of sugar to 1 of fruit; put into your kettle; when dissolved add the fruit and boil 20 minutes. Chocolate Cake.—l cup butter, 2 of sugar, 1 of milk, 5 eggs, leaving out the whites of three, 4 cups of sifted flour, 3 teaspoonfuls baking-powder. Bake in 3 layers in jelly tins.

Veal Soup with Macaroni.—B pounds veal, knuckle or scragg, with the bones broken and meat cut off, 3 qts. water and J pound macaroni. Boil the meat in the water until reduced to shreds—3 hours at least. Cook the macaroni, broken into inch pieces, in a little water by itself, until tender; add a teaspoonful of butter to the macaroni, strain the meat out of the soup, season to your taste; put in the macaroni.and the water it was boiled in ; let it boil up once and serve. Some persons like a little of the meat left in. Soup—Take a soup-bone, or any bones that may be left from waste meat, beef, or the remains of a toast chicken particularly nice. After boiling set aside, until the fat can be removed. Then set on the stove an hour before dinner; cut up a small onion, a potato, some tui nip, carrot, and parsley if you have it. A little rice is nice when one is short of vegetables. Brown a table spoonful or more of flour, according to the quantity of soup; wet it with cold water, and then thicken the soup with it a very little. Add 1 teaspoonful each black and red pepper, salt to taste and spices if you like them. French Rolls —Take 8 medium sized Irish potatoes, boil until soft, mash in the water in which they were boiled, add enough flour to make it the consistency of cream.

It takes the place of quinine and calomel, and has superseded these medicines in places where they have heretofore been extensively used.
