These impressions were givea^by a sermon o% Jasper's fa­ vorite belief, that "de sun do move." A neighboring preacher had ridiculed his arguments on that subject, and the discourse closed with this challenge: "I dar' de Reberend Wells to link arms wid me, an' we'll go up to de judgment seat ob de Lor', an' say: 4Lor*! you jus"cide 'twixt us.'

ONE of the simplest and best ways by which light-colored kid gloves can be cleaned is this: Pot- the gloves on your hands, take an old an l very soft linen handkerchief, wet it in sweet milk, and rub it on a piece of white soap--castile or any toilet soap will answer the purpose--then apply to the Bohed parts of the glove: do tnis until the spots disappear, then wet the en­ tire glove and pull it and rub it and stretch it until it is dry.

A VERT nice bed-spread can be made of chesse cloth, costing 5 cents a yard, eight and a half yards bding needed. Cut the cloth in three strips of equal length, and join the selvages of two together on the sewing machine to make the body of the spread. Do not tear, but cut the remaining pieces in two lengthwise, and join on the two edges of the spread, giving it the ap­ pearance of a hem a quarter of a yard wide, and put a hem of the same width on the ends. Work a vine around with red working-cotton in feather or briar stitch, and ornament the center with a simple design in the same stitch. This spread is especially useful where the bed covering needs frequent changing, for being so light, the washing ii very easy. - ' -- Some Bemains of Prehistoric Man. An interest;ng discovery of much im­ portance for geologicid and archaeolog­ ical science haf recently been made in a coal mine At Bnlly-Grenay, in the French department of Pas-de-Calais. A new gallery was being pierced, when a cavern was broken into which discov­ ered t'::e fossil remains of five human beings in a fair state of preservation; a man, two women and two children com­ posed the group. The man measured about seven feet, the women six feet six inches and six feet, the children four feet and rather less than this. In addition, some fragments of arms and utensils of petrified wood and of $jtone, with numerous remains of mammals and fish were brought to l'ght. A second subterranean chamber inclosed the re­ mains of eleven human bodies of large size, several animals, and a large num­ ber of various objects, with some precious stones. The walls of the cave exhibited drawings representing men fighting with gigantic animals. Owing to |he presence of carbonic anhydride, a third and larger chamber, which ap­ peared to be empty, was not searched. If the discovery be genuine, it is of the 4ve> other viaee ; in e from twenty-five to forty vibes W6tefet«nf twenty- oftlis greatest value as evidence of the exist ence of prehistoric man, and it will also go far to support the ancient tradition of the colossal stjture of our remote progenitors.

REMKOTEB, when setting out plants of any description! to spread the roots oat in their natural position, not cover them when cramped or doubled up. Be careful not to caver the crowns of straw­ berry plants with earth; set them just level with the mriaoe, and press the earth firmly abont them. ̂ ; THE roots of many plants retain their vitality under intense temperatures. Boiling water has been applied to some without injury to them, and some plants absorb poisons that are destructive to other*. The seeds on which birds have fed often retain their powers of germin­ ation for a long period, as the birds sometimes cany them in their bodies from one country to another, where they have grown and multiplied. A VETERINARY authority says the neat majority of ringbones in young horses come from the failure to shorten their toes. To this may be added that ringbone is apt to be formed if colts are allowed to stand on a plank floor, or anywhere else where the footing is hard, during the first eighteen months of their age. Whether in stable or yard during this period, let tbem have earth for standing or walking, free from stone or other gnfveL--Chicago Journal. To OBTAIN two crops of potatoes a year. Dig first crop as soon as ripe, which in this latitude must be some early sort like Early Sunrise, place in a dry, warm place two days, then cut in single eyes; place pieces into pans or boxes containing dry plaster of gypsum for ten days. This absorbs the moist­ ure, and then they are ready to plant. The second crop is best for seed, as they come out in the spring plumper and fresher than the first crop.--Potato Vine. PROF. FOBBES, the Illinois State Entomologist, reports that he has made several mixtures of kerosene and milk, or soap-suds diluted with from eighteen to forty-five parts of water, in which the kerpsgm> constituted from 2i to 4 per cent.?' Mid appliei it to hill* of corn infested With the chinch-bug, anl in most of the experiments four-fifths of the bugs were killed in a few hours, and in some instance* nine-tenths. The dilution of soap-suds instead of with water was found to hold much the best, and in most of the reported trials this application (about half a pint to a hill of corn) appeared to be the most effect­ ive, destroying nine-tenths of the in­ sects. Milk was found- not to be nec­ essary to the emulsion, soap-suds sn- swering equally well with one pound to ten gallons of water, using equal parts of kerosene and suds. COL. F. D. CURTIS, in the Country Gentleman, says, regarding the man­ agement of bulls: "Make bulls work either in the yoke together or in a har­ ness. They will do«a great amount of drudgery, and it will do them no harm. High feeding to keep in a show con­ dition is the worst ihing to do with a bull. My bulls are wintered on straw. On this feed they keep quiet and in good-enough condition. A change to ay in the spring gives them a start and keeps them in good-enough order for use. A thinnish bull will serve more cows and get more calves than a fat One. To breed dairy stock, differ­ ent management is required than for breeding animals for beef; not only a different type, but care. The Ayrshire stock has suffered from this mistake-- too much Short-horn modeling--and I do not intend my Jerseys shall be beefy in sires, dams or offspring; beefy bulls will in time get beefy calves. I flatter myself that, after traveling around con­ siderably, changing bulls, I am now on the right road, viz., to stay at home> The calves this spring of the Asiato get suit me exactly. It is very nice to have a bull look so well that everybody will say, "How fine he looks!" but when the hired man gets hart, or you have to wait an hour in a busy time, it is not quite so fine." IT is a well-known truth that anv or­ gan of the body can be trained to special purposes* in the young much easier than after maturity has been reached. Arguing from this principle, the National Live Stock J&wnal re­ marks: "At 2 years old is none too early to begin the development of the mammary glands, if we would culti­ vate in them the greatest size and the highest degree of activity. By begin­ ning thus early, and feeding liberally and prolonging the milking, if possi­ ble, through the entire year, the glands will grow with the growing body, and reach a siM and power they otherwise could not possibly attain. An udder of unusual dimensions and activity will absorb an unusual amount of vital energy, and convert aa unusual amount of food Into milk, and thus detract from the growth of tfce frame. Then will be more milk and. less beef--a veiy-de­ sirable result, where milk produetion, instead jtf beef, is the end sought. It is oertfunly more desirable in a dairy than a large frame with little milk. Body enough will be promoted to carry on healthfully and properly the func­ tions of maternity and digestion, and this is the main purpose for which a body -in a dairy cow is wanted. The heifer early trained to milk-giving not only makes a deeper milker during her lifetime, but the tendency to milk-giv­ ing becomes so emphatically a part of her nature that she is much more likely to transmit that tendency to her de­ scendants than if she had not come into milk till her growth had been nearly or quite completed."

Stir the cream of tartar into the flour with the salt; dissolve soda in a little hot water; beat e$gs very light; add flour the last thing; if the batter is too stiff, put in more milk. CREAM OF TARTAR BISCUIT.--One quart of sifted flour, one teaspoonful of salt, two teaspoa|nfuls of cream of tar­ tar, one of soda. Mix them all in the dry flour. A dessert-spoonful of butter creamed. Put butter into middle oi flour; wet with a scant pint of milk; turn out upon a floured board. Roll slightly, making it one inch thick. Cut out and bake quickly. BF.EF CROQUETTES.--Cut cold meat into small slices about half an inch thick. Season the slices, and spread thinly over them some bread crumbs and some small lumps of butter. Take gravy left from the joint, or stew a gravy from the bones; thicken it with butter rolled in flour and season it with pepper and salt. Or the bits of meat, when not large enough to be sliced as above, may be minced, seasoned and mixed with mashed potatoes and flour. Make it into small cakes and fry them a nice brown. SEED LOAF. -Mix together four ounces of ground rice, six ounces of flour, two teaspoonfuls of cream ol tartar, one teaspoonful of carbonate ol soda and two table-spoonfuls of caraway seeds. Best four ounces of butter to a cream; add six ounces of loaf sugar crushed, threa eggs well beaten and half a gill of cream or milk. Beat the butter, sugar, eggs and cream for fifteen minutes; stir in the flour, seeds, etc., as quickly as possible and pour into a cake-tin. Bake an hour in a moderate oven. RIBBON CAKE.--Two cups of sugar, one cup of butter, one cup of sweet milk, oneteaspoonfnl of cneam of tartar, one-half teaspoonful of soda, four cups of flour, four eggs. Reserve one-third of this mixture and bake rest in two loaves of the same size. Add to the tliird reserved one cup of raisins, one- fourth pound of citron, one cup of cur­ rants, two table-spoonfuls of molasses, one teaspoonful each of all kinds of spice. Put the three loaves together with icing or currant jelly, placing the fruit loaf in the middle. Frost top and sides. BAKED FISH.--Scale, wash and wipe dry, inside and out, a two or three pound fish. Make a stuffing as follows: One pint grated bread; two table- spoonfuls melted butter; pepper and salt to taste; one raw egg; a little celery salt; one onion chopped fine, is, to my taste, an improvement, but can be omitted if not liked. Care should be taken not to wet the bread crumbs; the egg and melted butter will moisten sufficiently. Tie over the fish thin slices of salt pork; fill a dripping pan half full of hot water; then, if you have not a wire grate, place the gridiron on the pan, and after laying the fish on the gridiron cover all with another pan; bake in a hot oven till the pork is well shriveled; then remove the upper tin, allowing your fish to brown. One and one-half hours will cook thoroughly, if a steady fire is kept.

It is suddenly lifted into importance from its proximity to a vast canon, once the abode of cliff dwellers. An hour's walk from the station and we stand upon the brink of a chasm so deep that the eye can hardly see its bottom. Actual measurement makes it 2,000 feet deep. The width varies from 200 feet at the bottom to 1,500 at the top. The aides are solid rock, but in layers of perhaps thirty feet in depth, each layer having a projecting or shelving edge extending from six to twenty feet. It is under the shelving work that the cliff dwellers built their abodes. On the opposite side from where we stood we counted seven tiers of these dwellings. It is notable that nonja are lower than 200 feet from the bottom. The canon is irregular in its formation, but from our standpoint we could count more than 200 of these dwellings, and there can be no doubt that this was a city of many tbouaand inhabitants. To what age of the world this race be­ longed or the character and nature of the people who built these cities, neither history nor tradition gives a trace. We made a perilous descent, visiting sev­ eral tiers of these houses. The front and side-walls are oi solid masonry and in a state of good preservation. Doors, three feet by eighteen inches, still re­ main, showing that these houses were for the accommodation of a very small race. The opening was small, that it could be quickly closed by its inmates against an invading enemy. The canon was once, no doubt, filled to the depth of 100 feet by running water, for no houses appear below that level. The approach and retreat of these dwellers were in boats or canoes.--Cor.

That this action of the Executive Committee be piiuted and transmitted t> tbe State and other subordinat J organizations, and to tbe National and State Republican Commit­ tees. It will thus ba seen that the National Union League is, in sentiment, in unison with the beat ideas of Republicanism and political progress in the United states. En­ tering, as the Republican party has soon to do in many States of the Uui n'I, UIHMI politi­ cal campaigns fraught with mighty c ̂ se­ quences as affect njr the future of the coun­ try, it is the hope of the National Council of the Union League that the tp rit of dimen­ sion and bitterness which has been life in some section* of the Union during the past few years, may die away and be forgotten. There is no section of the Republican party whose advent to power in we States aud the nation Would 03 as di astrous to the best interests of the oottntrr as would tha' of the Democratic party. There is no shade of opinion he.d by any respectable number of Republicans In the United States that does not breaths the spirit of liberty, of progress, and of good government in a fuller and better sense than the best utter­ ance, the best inspiration, and the best sen­ timent of the Democratic party ot to-day. Paramount to all considerations of personal aggrandizement or the advancement of factions is the demand the oountry makes upon the Republican party to see to It that the reins of government ba not \vreseei from its hands. Therefore, it is that, reiter­ ating the utterances of our constituents, we appeal to the Republicans of the country that factions cease among them, tha'/ tt*o poUnt voice of the peop e ^peak to the waves of discord everywhere, and command them to be stilL We utter no word of cr mination against our brethren of any phase of political sentiment We neither discuss nor decide anv question that ha* been one of difference between us. We look upon them all, whether aim ng at personal pieferment or representing d vet>ity oi political viewd as immaterial and unlmp jrt- ant, when weighed in the balance against the consequences of Democratic ascend­ ency. It would be a thrice-told tale to restate the political error*, failures, blunders and crimes of the Democratic party. It brought the Government to the vtrge of bankruptcy at the oloee of its lost administration. It p: o- mulgated and fostered, through the great body of Its adherents, the fatal doctrine of State sovereignty and the right of secession; and that portion of the party which did not join in the open support cf this heresy d d not ra se its voice to rebuke it. Owing to the unpatriotic and criminal maladministration of the Democracy, the Republican party found a chattered and wrecked Union: a constitution defied and despi ed in eleven of the States; hostile armies arrayed against the life of the nation upon the soil of the c ommonwealth. Tbe Democratic party had debauched public sentiment; it had made patriotism disrepu­ table in a large portion of the country; the public credit was ruined, the industries of the country paralyzed, the flag of the nation desp'aea abroad and degraded and i owerles3 at home.

No MATTER who may lead the Demo* cratic party, it will only be a barren and unhappy union of incompatible partners, incapable of harmonious pur­ poses or political aims; and we have not so mean a 1 opinion of our country­ men as to believe that a party without a policy can govern the United States. --New York Tribune. THE Democrats who a few weeks sgo were boasting of an easy victory in Iowa are already beginning to shin it up back alleys. The people of Iowa will make the campaign one to remember. It is a defense of every hearthstone, and will decide whether a majority has rights that the saloon interest is* bound to re- speot.--Chicago Inter Ocean. THE harmony which at present exists in the Democratic party in Ohio is sweeter than the ointment which runs down upon Hoadly's beard. The En- H'A very and declared that that blighting and j quirer (Dem.) says Hoadly is d--D by mon trous instution should go inioall the all of the Bill Allen Democracy; Charles Woodley (Dem.) saVB he is a d--d poor politician and ought to keep his mouth shut; Bill Hill (Dem.) says he is a "h--1" of a Democrat. A correspond­ ent of the leading Democratic paper in the West says lie bought liis nomination for $50,000, and growled because it cost him so much. Kalilo, a leading Dem­ ocrat of Toledo, also says Hoadly pur­ chased his nomination. The Plain- dealer (Dem.) compares Hoadly with a mule, and has never apologized for it. The Elyria Constitution (Dem.) says of Hoadly: "Just look at his nose; it has the color of a red beet, and whisky is his God." On the other hand, Hoad­ ly has frequently said in his speeches that the Democratic party was corrupt and he was opposed to its principles. He opposed a license law, although the Democratic platform declares in favor of such a law. He is one of the worst kind of monopolists, though the Dem­ ocratic party are professedly opposed' to monopolies. Hoadly was once in favor of hanging Allen G. Tkurman to a lamp-post for being a Copperhead, and is so ashamed of his party associ­ ates that he would not run for Gover­ nor except as the candidate of a new Democracy. How sweet it is for breth­ ren to dwell together in unity.---<^u- cago Tribune. [go free Territories < f tbe country, and it ostra­ cised the members of its own party who raited up their Voices in opposition to these dogma* We point to this record only to add th at, durngthe past quarter of u century, not­ withstanding that each one of the*) per­ nicious doctrines has been overthrown either on the battle-tie d, in tbe legislative hidls of the country, or by (he greater trib­ unal, the voice of a free people, nowhere has the Democratic party apologized for or retracted any of its opinions upon these great questions. The Democratic party was directly responsible for civil war and for tbe blood of more than a quarter of a million of the b.st citizens of the republic; it placed upon the nation the fe uful burden of a great debt, and steadily strove to bring about substantial repudiation of the obliga­ tion of the Government to pay it: its demand now to be put in charge of tlie Government implies that it will come into power proud of ite record, apologizing for nothing, repu­ diating nothing. It is enough to nay of the Republic in party that it hss made powerless for harmeveiy principle th t the Democratic party has ad­ vocated during thelast quarter of a century. It has stood in the gateway of power, with a drawn sword in Its hands, beating back the aggressive forces of Democracy, and shield­ ing the nation from the baleful influences of the vicious principles of 4ta opponents: it has restored nationality; it has re-educated pub­ lic opinion; it has re established loyalty; it has made liberty universal and eternal; it has obliterated all distinctions from among men before the laws of the United State*; it has lifted up the down-trodden; it has en ~ the weak; it has rebuilt the wtsU the nation; it has spread abroad oouraged the weak; it has rebuilt the wsste plaCei of prosperity like a mighty canopy. Under the benign Influcnoe of the teach­ ings and administration of the Republican party material growth has come to us, such a* no other nation ever experienced on earth; we have gr >wn mighty in po^u!a tion; we have grown mighty m wealth; we have grown mighty in education, in intelli­ gence, in virtue, and Chriftian civilization. Our former c rjumacribed commonwealth has spread itself out to the veiy waters of the Ffecidc. until the steady march of popu­ lation and enterprise has peopled ever}- foot of soil over which the American Hag has jurisdiction, adding farms, villages, cite* and States to the material strength of the countrv. 'I he history of tbe Republican party is all brilliantly studded with the gems of righteous Government; it has punished mis­ conduct in its own ranks; it has demanded faithfulness to the cou-try; it hps restored the credit of the nation until it stands higher than that or' any other on the earth; it has discharged its sacred obligation "to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who has borne the batt e, ano for his widow and his orphan;" it has lifted the old flag to a place of higher dignity and grand­ eur in the great gtdaxy oi the nations The Republican party has not hesitated to remedy its own mistakes; it has not been b ind to its own errors; it has not been cow­ ardly; it has never dodged behind devices for temporary effect; it has always met the great, diversified and growing questions of the day and hour in the spirit that brought it into existence; io has settled every ques­ tion by the touchstone of ite own birthright --liberty, justice, freedom and equality. The Bepub icau party stands to-day the champion and protootor of a free ballot and pure elections, and demands the security by law of the right of every man to vote in ac­ cordance with his own convictiona The Democratic party has been, and i-s tho pol­ luter ot me ballot-box. the enemy of tree - ."I" • • " ".'L" L-!'L I'M 4 ,'t A Hint to Builders. ' Here is an idea for the tens of thou­ sands of hature-loving city people who are rearing pasteboard villas on every sea beach and mountain top. The ubiquitous Queen Anne cottage is be­ coming almost as much of a horror to the traveler as the frantic adjuration to Buy Jones' Hendrake Pills. Why not let Queen Anne sleep, and build log-houses ? A log-house is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is unpretentious, cheap, and, if modeled after the ancient Norwegian dwelling, highly picturesque. Timber houses from * Norway are now imported into England, the abundance of forest and low rates of labor making them cheap. The beams of the second story project over the lower, and the ends of these heavy timbers with the arches of the porches and roofs are carved heavily The entire house is constructed of wood, the wainscoting being of the rich­ ly-tinted native deals, and the floors of oak, polished and varnished. But in­ stead of the flimsy cardboard edifice in which Americans with their inexhausti­ ble wealth of forest delight, the Nor­ wegian house is broad, solid, richly carved, its varied exterior giving fine effects of light aaA shado, and when set among trees it. offers tbe type of a he irk­ some, endaving home.--New fork JVt&UfW, - t V-i'-C t;K *'-*** hW-K-W'iw* • f t *• - Je . !
