Gentlemen: I am happy to state that your Holman Liver Pad has produced good results. Like many others, I was cautious about trying anything new; but,the arguments seemed so forcible that I was induced to try it. Since using it myself, I have recommended lit to several others who have derived very beneficial results fre m it. You are at liberty to make use of this if it will help persuade some of the doubting sufferers fo trv the Pad. Very respectfully, WM. F. GRIFFIN. Bilious Dyspepsia anil malaria Contract*;:! in tile Army. Holman Liver Pad Co. Dear Sirs: Having promised to let yon know the result consequent upon my use of the Liver Pad, I respectfully submit the tollowiug statement: Since the spring of 1863 I have doctored and dosed for liver complaint and some of its attendant evils, viz. headache, biliousness, dyspepsia, etc during which time I have used pills and powders wholesale, and tonics by the gallon, with little or no success, as they afforded, at best, only temporary relief, while, in the meantime. 1 was gradually losing health and strength. I have worn the Liver Pad now less than thirty dajs, discarding entirely all other remedies, and I am happy to say that I feel nearly well. I am sure that it lias done more for me than all the medicine used for the last twelve years and I am fully satisfied that as a cure for complaints arising from disordered state of the liver* the “Holman Liver Pad5* stands to-day unrivalled. I would not be with out one, even though the cost were a hundred times greater, and I intend to keep one on hand in future as a preventive to diseases of the nature referred to above.

Gentlemen: Having been a sufferer tor many years with Dyspepsia and irregular action ot the Liver, which lias caused me to suffer untold misery, also head aches. I have exhausted the skill of the best known physicians, who have tried all the medicines usually and unsuallv given in such cases, aud as a last resort they recommended sea voyages, which advice 1 have followed, crossing the Atlauiic twice in a year, all to no purpose. I was induced through a friend to try one ot your Pads, and have worn it for the past two months, with wonderful results. I can say I am a well woman, can eat anything without disagreeing wit h me, and I think it a duty to my fellow sufferers to state these facts, and in doing so would say to everyone suffering irom any of the numerous diseases arising lrom a torpid liver to try one of Holman’s Pads. They are a boon to humanity, and will prove a death blow to old systems of closing with injurious medicines. “God speed the Pad.” 1 trust ere long every man and woman through the world will know there Is such a remedy for so many diseases flesh is heir to.

The new Treasury policy provokes consid erable discussion, some adverse criticism and much approval. A strong objection to it with many is that it is a return to the methods of Secretary] McCulloch; but that will he, in the comprehension of most advocates of a sound currency, its chief recommendation. The only method certainly of discharging our debt is to call in our notes. We may wait until 1S79 and call them all in at once, or call them in small lots at a time, redeeming them as fast as the surplus fund in the Treas ury will permit. The latter course seems the easiest, for it is much like paying on the in stallment plan. By its adoption too the gold paid out tor greenbacks may be used several times, and thus the objections based on the assumed scarcity of the precious metal bo avoided. As the greenbacks lessen in volume they will appreciate in value, and by 1879, if contraction be steadily pursued, they will be quoted at par. In that case no one will care to exchange them for gold, unless he has some special use for coin, and the sums in the Treasury will be amnio snfflpiont fn- poses of redemption. Resumption will have been achieved easily and gradually. This plan is strenuously objected in some quarters because of a fear that it will disturb business and provoke apprehension of ill in commercial circles. Secretary McCulloch was forced to abandon his plan by the same class of objectors. Even before he made any contraction the fear of it made trouble in business. That fear which obtained in “flush” times, obtains now in dull times, and will obtain until its unreasonableness is ex posed. So long as it is yielded to resumption cannot be accomplished, for the demand notes cannot be cabled in. The only way to remove it is to disregard it, to go on with the process of contraction, and to show by actual trial that no financial disturbance of consequence will ensue. Either Secretary Sherman’s method must be adopted, or we must take Mr. Tilden’s expensive plan of establishing a “central reservoir of coin,” a plan which has been ridiculed unmercifully by those journals which jnow give it the preference over the easier and more economical method proposed by the Treasury Department. The great objection to the policy adopted by Secretary Sherman is that it permits the hoarding of greenbacks, and so gives Con gress, the first time the paper money men are able to control it, the power of once more ex panding the currency by reissuing the de mand notes. The greenbacks called in should be destroyed. If the Secretary shrinks from taking the responsibility under the present law Congress at its next session should so amend that law that he shall have no alter native. In her sixth letter to the Tribune Gail Hamilton after remarking that “the fragrance of reform is fouler than the smell of corrup tion,” and that “undoubtedly there is a civil service reform question, clean and pure and sound, but it has been so beslavered by un clean beasts that it needs to be much raked up to high and dry places, where the raiDs may wastr U, ana the wind may cleanse it and the sunshine sweeten it”, turns her at tention to Boston and to what she calls the “wild, irresponsible} slam-baDg, treatment of public affairs, which pays no regard to truth, to consistency, or to reason,” pursued by the Advertiser and the Journal of that city. She points out that the policy of conciliation toward the South has been the policy of the Republican party ever since the suppression of the rebellion, and that the inaugural mes sages of President Grant were as kindly in their tone as the inaugural message of Presi dent Hayes. Sho accuses of folly and false hood the Republican papers who talk now of “the policy of force which has been tried for eight years and proved a failure”, and re minds them of their own past utterances. She sharply says: “Any honest seeker after facts, living in the rural districts of Massach usetts in the early days of President Hayes’s Administration, with no source of informa tion but the newspapers, could but grow dizzy dazed, clean daft, at the wild waltz, the reck less somersaults, the ground and lofty tumb ling even of staid old newspapers. Appar ently they lost their memories, they lost their eyesight, they lost their heads, in their spasmodic haste to prostrate themselves at the feet of the new Administration; nor did it seem to be out of malice toward the past,or hostility to any one, but from a simple, sin cere, inborn and not unamiable desire to kiss the new Pope’s toe. In this enlivening spec tacle of manly journalism the main struggle seemed to be who should gird up his loins and eat his own words fastest. Such purely business papeis as tho Boston Journal pulled their lustiest back strokes through a rattliDg hail storm of their own past utterances and never flinched. The venerable Advertiser which started off briskly on the last Presiden tial campaign armed with an old Decoration Day speech exhumed from some soldiers’ cem etery would not let the grass grow under its feet, but flurg a sackful of Gov. Andrew’s bones over its shoulder and set out promptly on its pilgrimage to Washington, determined to keep up with the procession or to peiish in the attempt. Many years ago a custom had its origin in Europe and obtains there now of setting apart one Sabbath iu the churches when the claims of hospitals lor the cure aud allevia tion of humau suffering should be presented bv clergymen to the notice of religious com munities, and contributions for the aid of the sick should be taken up. The custom has become established iu this country, and Hos pital Sunday has taken its place in many sec tions upon the church calendar. The direc tors of the Maine General Hospital respect fully invite the attention of clergymen and laymen in our state to this custom, and ear nestly request the former to place upon their church caleudar one Sunday in each year to be consecrated to this-humane purpose. The hospital rests upon the broad and catholic^ba sis of a true Christian charity. Its doors are always open to all classes and conditions of society, irrespective of nationalily or denom iualioual belief. the services of the physi cians and surgeons are rendered without com pensation. It has done and i3 constantly do ing a vast amount of good, and supplies a waut which has been long and deeply felt in the state. It is now in its infancy and ur gently needs pecuniary aid. The smallest contributions, such as will come within the means of all who may sympathize in this truly philanthropic measure, will be worthily bestowed and gratefully received. Believing that the object will be best accomplished by simultaneous action iu our churches, as expe rience has shown it to be in England and iu some of the large cities of our- own country, the directors beg leave to designate the sec ond Sunday in June as a fitting day for the inauguration of Hospital Sunday iu Maine. There should he no doubt ol a hearty response from the churches. “Annoyance” at the killing of Laws in Louisiana is not confined to the Administra tion. It frets his family, they say. The conclusion to which the Shoe anil Leather Reporter is brought by a careful sur vey of the situation is, that the auguries of a good fall business are abundant; that if leath er drops off for a week or two it will recover all it has lost meantime and perhaps more; that the season will begin auspiciously, with a good uuderstanding between all the parties in interest, and continue favorable to those who prosecute their work judiciously; that the tanners will experience the novel sensa tion ot finding themselves better oft' at the end of the year than they were at the begin ning, and that the manufacturers of and deal’ ers in shoes, to whom increasing their gains is not a novelty, will nevertheless be made glad by a continuance of the smiles of fortune which have beamed on them so long and so graciously hitherto. The Boston papers quote the following New Bedford story, and feel called upon to vouch for ils authenticity: “Mamma,” said a little five-year-old, “what is a widow and what is a widower?” Tho mother explained to the little fellow, and by way of further ex planation, said: “If you should grow up and get married and your wife should die, why then you would be a widower.” “Ob, no, I wouldn’t,” says the little fellow, “I’d court another girl.” There is nothing remarkable about that. He would probably become en gaged within a month after his wife’s death and marry within six months. Such is the nature of widowers. Vikgisia has given out the contact for those whisky alarm punches. There are to be 5000 of them at $3.75 each. It will require three-quarters of a million of preliminary drinks of whisky to pay for these before the state begins to derive any revenue from them. If beer alone is taken, it may require near four million glasses to ray the state her money back. Careful observers estimate that the punches cannot be paid lor In less than a week. It should be borne in mind that the Rus sians use the old-style chronology, and that their middle of May, the date set for. the movement across the Danube, answers to our first of June. The newspapers have al ready begun to call time; they are thirsting for gore, and will permit no trifling on the part of the Czar. Current Comment. It is now understood that President Ilayes will not come to Boston until towards the close of June, wheh his son will graduate from the Harvard Law School. Mr. Beecher tosses up his hat for Russia. He believes the Turkish Empire in Europe should be ground to powder and denounces England as being the ally of despotism. The Atlanta, Georgia, Constitution says: “All the South wants is equal and exact jus tice.” AH that the North wants of the South is that it should do equal and exact justice to the Kemper county murderers for example. The Staunton Valley Virginian appeals for a national recognition of the Southern Re publicans, and says that they are entitled to representation in the Cabinet, on the Sm preme bench, in the diplomatic service, and in territorial offices. It asks the President to regard them as a part of the great national party whose representative he is, and to tes tify his appreciation of their courage and de votion to convictions by a fitting national rec ognition—something, it claims, which they have not yet had. Tiie New York Times' Cincinnati corres pondent reports that “there is increasing sat isfaction among the Ohio Republicans at the course of Hayes’s Administration. The number ot those who share the views of Ben Wade is daily growing less. Indeed, there is reason to believe that it has been largely over estimated from the first. If peace is main UU1UV.U iu iuv ue/um uuuu^ LUIO SUU1IUH, lUti successor to Stanley Matthews iu the Senate and the next Governor of Ohio will be .Re publicans.” There is said to be not one mixed public school in Georgia. Hr. E. P. Hallowell thus writes:‘-The color line is distinctly drawn. The state commissioner of educa tion, Hon. G. J. Orr, would not tolerate the presence of a black child in a white school. He would not even allow white teachers and colored students to break bread together or to exchange sociai visits in their homes, ne denounces such outrages upou the ‘social relations’ of the two races in his annual report to the legisia ture.” Jfews and Other Items. It takes §100,000,000 woith of liquor a year to assuage the thirst.of New York city. Martha Washington has sued George Wash ington for desertion in Philadelphia. It is semi-cfficially announced that the grand dukes didn’t try to snub the president by leav ing Gov. Morgan’s reception before he arrived, bnt expressed their reluctance that they mast go because of a previous engagement. Wharton county, Texas, is said to have 000 colored voters and 150 whites, and yet, at a re cent election, in which temperance was involv ed,only five votes were cast against prohibi tion. There is great excitement at Brush Creek, Fayette county, Iowa, over recent discoveries of fine gold. It is found in dirt and in quartz, and miners are flocking to Brush Creek from various sections. On the 9th of August the state of Virginia votes on the question of removing the state capital. There is so much interest over the question that a vote is anticipated which will indicate a remarkable increase of the voting population A suicide worthy of the oil regions occurred at Bradford, Pa a few days ago, when Perry Lewis saturated his clothiDg with kerosene and set himself on fire.

Daniel Pratt, tLe great American traveler, made his entry into Detroit last week with a tandem-team, a man ou each horse bearing the American flag, and another on the seat beside him blowing a bugle.

The warm weather of a week ago brought qnite a number of tbe cottage people down, as well as some ho tel boarders. All the cottages bat two or three aro engaged, which, considering the times, is really remarkable so early in the season. Hangings are still public spectacles in tbe Southern States. Some 5000 persons were pres ent at tbe recent banging of the negro, Chas Tommy, at Atlanta, Ga., for the murder of Mrs. Carroway, a white woman, the husband of the murdered woman celebrating the day by baying a Iiceu6C for a feoond marriage and then complacently witnessing tbe execution. Gen. Grant will be the guest in London of Mr. J. S. Morgan, tbe partner of the late Mr. Peabody, and tbo Eo-called American “Prince in England.” It is said tbe President is pur posing to dazzle tbe foreign conits by wearing his full uniform of General of the United States Army. In Paris Gen. Grant will he the guest of MacMahon; iD Berlin, of VouMoltke; and in St. Petersburg, of the Emperor. When a Ilussiau army oflfeer or other person of note is condemned to exile in Siberia, he is first made to kneel on a scaffold beforo*the peo ple, while the epanlets and decorations are torn off, and his sword broken over his head.

A New York Thankvgiviag—Charter Making and Tinkering-The Agile Pur roy—Newspaper Attacks. New York, May 23,1877. The real time for thanksgiving in New York is tbe day the Legislature adjourns. The event recurred last night, and the city and state breathe more freely in consequence. They have a respite from legislative eccentricities till the 18th January, when the same annual five months performance will be repeated. It is astonishing that there is such au extensive bus iness carried on in law making, and that there never seems to be any decrease in it. They think nothing of passing six or seven hundred acts at Albany in the course of a winter, which seems, absurd when you come to think bow bavily laden the statute book is already. Very few people keep any sort of run of the meas ures that are enacted. It would require an ef fort of memory to do so to which few men are equal. But then very few of the acts are of sufficient moment to bo worth remembering. They are usually local measures affecting small communities or individuals. Tbe great objective point of legislative opera tions is the city of New York. Every winter a batch of new schemes is kneaded for the oven. Only four years ago we were called upou to ad just ourselves to a brand new charter. It was an instrument drawn with great, elaboration and designed to remedy the wrong that had grown chronic under the ring. It was essen tially a reform .’project, and was supported by the men who had helped to overthrow the Tweed cabal. It has worked pretty well on tbe whole, and seemed to improve by age. The people were getting used to it and the more f*. miliar its provisions became to them the batter they liked it. There were several departments with commissioners at their head, deriving their power from, and accountable to, the Mayor. He n«ujr, uiuismi auu mo Governor being the sole judges of what should constitute "cause.” The regulation invested him with adequate executive authority, and made him in fact as well a3 in name the su preme administrative head of the municipali ty. If any abuses existed he had the means to discover them and the power to correct them The charter created a commission of accounts consisting of two persons holding office at the pleasure of the Mayor, who were authorized and instructed to examine in detail into all the transactions of the various departments, and report any and every thing they might discover, that was not honest and lawful. The salaries of officials were cut down to about one third of what had previously been paid for similar services. In that respect the framers of the charter had hewn close to the line of parsimony. In fiDe, the law as it stood was a decided improvement on any.’previous plan and every sort of experiment had been tried Hrst and last, for it was the invariable custom of each legislature to put some sort of new patoh on the old garment of organization with which the city was always groteeqnely and shabbily clothed. But the mania for taking oat new pieces and patting in new ones broke out more vio lently than usual daring the recent session. If all the contrivances that were suggestedbad been carried into effect the body politic would have been costumed like a harlequin. There were so many of them that they jostled and helped to negative each other. I have never been able to reach an assured conclusion as to whether tho authors of these multiform devices really wanted or expected them to succeed. They appeared to be in earnest while they were at it, bat they dawdled over the matter for an unconscionable length of time, and loaded their bills up with so much dead weight that they must needs havo foreseen, that they would be exceedingly apt to founder. If they really meant business, they showed a pairfui lack of judgment and tact; if they didn’t, they wasted a great deal of their own time and still more of the public patience. By way of renderin* It mnriilltr nothing could be accomplished a legis lature, claiming to be Republican in both branches, begun by exasperating a Democratic governor. They;suubbed him in numerous ways. The benate wouldn't confirm his appointments thereby depriving him o£ the just prerogative of his office. There were a great many little petty annoyances to which they could and did subject him. Having by these means worked him up into Ian irritable frame of mind, they made such a clumsy jab of their charter tinker ing that he had no difliculty in finding flaws enough in it to warrant his veto. Hence their wearisome labor came to nought, literally bar ren of useful results. However, it is question able whether any good would have come of the success of the leading measures they undertook to carry. There wa3 such a blending of folly with wisdom in their mechauism,that it is just as well perhaps that they failed. The neglect to make a new apportionment of Senatorial aud Assembly district# cannot be justified. The matter was left, ao important business too often is, to near the end of the ses sion aud suffered strangulation at the hands of a conference committee. This .was so clearly a breach of faith that it reflects seriously ao the honor of the psrty which by reason of its ma jority in both branches was directly responsible (or it. The Republicans will have to bear the burden of this sin in the next election. The effort to meddlty with local affairs at Al bany in a pattis an fashion serves as a pretext for a bitter crusade by our city Democracy against minority representation here at home. The eelf-constituted leader of this campaign is a ris ing young statesman named Purroy. Purroy Is the president of the board of aldermen, a restless audj agile fellow with a good deal of lingual faculty and exhaustless ambition. His latest aspiration is to be police commissioner, a post for which he is conspicuously unfit, inde pendently of the fact that his assignment to the place woill disturb the political equilib rium of the board and reduce that great arm of {/urn.y ou.uvo tu a, uicio oyuu j. Ammany Hall. The Democratic aldermen and the ward politicians are importuning the major to make this exceptionable appointment He has thus fir refused to yield to their solicitations. If he persists in doing so there are intimations of a break between him and the organization which gave him the nomination and election last fall but his loss of their favor would be more than' compensated by the gain he would make in the confidence aud respect of the better class of onr citizens. Mayor Ely is not a self-willed nor controversial man. He will do anything in reason to gratify the wishes of his political associates. But when they ask ot him the sac rifice of his self respect they will be likely to discover that he has the courage and firmness to withstand the temptations of preforment with mauly indifferenco alike to threats and persuasions. Turroy has the newspapers against him, but they have got into such a habit of Mashing at everybody in a wild aud reckltss manner that their strictures npon officials have ceased to produce any effect. It is a great pity, for a dis. criminating aud decorous press could be made very efficacious in dealing with the men and measures of the city government. The trouble with the newspaper men is that nobody can tell when they attack a person whether there is any justification for it or whether they havo any information about the subject of which they treat. They assail so many blameless and worthy people that when they do happen to level their Ehafts at a really vulnerable object he gets the benefit of {the popular theory that they are oftener wrong than right. Thus through a license that has been stretched be yond patient endurance we are deprived of a moral corrective which under better auspices would prove of inestimable value in giving tone and direction a wholesome pnblio senti ment- Yarmouth. The last target firing with the celebrated 81 tou gun at Shoeburyness, England, was a very expensive affair. The load consisted of 425 pounds of powder—the heaviest charge ever fired from rifled ordnance—aud a 1700 pound shot, aud the target against which the ball was fired cost 530,000, and consisted of 24 inches of irou and 15 inches of teak, backed by a heavy structure of piles. The shot penetrated almost entirely through the whole structure, and as the target can only he used four times in all, each discharge of the gnn, withent counting the cost of the powder and shot, represents $7, 500.

NEW YORK CUSTOM HOUSE. Report of tlie Investigating Com mittee. The President’s View of the Du ties of Government Officers. Report of the Jnveniignliiig Committee. Washington, May 28.—The investigating commission who have been recently examining the custom house affairs in New York, recom mend a reduction of force in the custom house naval office and suiveyor’s department of 20 per cent., which can be dope by retaining com petent members and increasing the hours of service. They recommend abolishing the office of deputy collector at large and other deputy collectors, the suspension of the office of depu ty collector at Jersey Oity, and discharge of deputy surveyor. They recommend the hours be from 0 a. m. to i p. m. Further reductions may be found advisable as the investigation proceeds, if tbe system should be found ca pable of simplification by consolidating some of the departments without detriment to the government or the interests of the merchants. The force now employed have mainly been ap pointed on political considerations, and are de ficient in proper attention to business as well as in business qualifications and integrity of char acter. The committee believe there can be no adequate protection in the customs service for the honor of tbe government, the rights of im porters and tbe interests of the nation until tbe service i3 freed from the control of party and organized on a strictly business basis. At the New York Custom House there are collected from 70 to 75 per cent, of our customs revenue, and its present annnal receipts amount to about 8108,000,000. The fidelity of its man agement concerns at once our foreign commerce, our domestic manufactures, tbe general pros perity of our people and the respect and confi dence of the world. Its management is com plicated by tbe existing tariff, which subjects to duties, specific or ad valorem, or both, seven teen hundred articles, and to the importers and and American manufacturers who invest their capital in enterprises based upon tbe exact pro visions of the tariff, it becomes a matter of con cern, as shown by the complaints, that tbe con ditions of the tariff while it remains in force shall not be changed by ignorance, carlessness or fraud in its execution. The o.uestion of political appointments, tbe recognition of a partisan power outside of tbe government, divided among irrepressible lead ers claiming the right to dispose of tbe offices of customs as the spoils of party, assumes a na tional magnitude and importance. Officers ap pointed through political influence are expect ed to make their offices contribute in turn to the suppott of the party, and the amount of contributions asked from the men is fixed by per centage on their respective salaries. Most of tbe officials thus assessed accede to the de mand, and some repair their diminished salaries by exacting and accepting from merchants un lawful gratuities. These party assessments seem to have been quietly permitted, if not openly sanctioned, and the improper acceptance of gratuities, as appear from the letter of the aaIIaa.a. l,nn f.-.- A a* a a_ tury to defy the law and demoralize the ser vice. A farther report on the appraiser’s depart ment, the Bystem of examining baggage, etc., will be made, but reforms can only be made effective by the emancipation of the service from partisan control. The President’s Views. Washington, May 2G. To the President:—Sir: I beg leave to call your attention to the accompanying partial re port of the commission to examine the cnstom house in New York, and especially to that part of it relating to the appointments upon political influence without due regard to efficiency. As this involves the question of the general policy which affect3 other Departments of your ad ministration, I desire instructions as to the ruies you wish adopted on this subject matter so they may be applied in the reforms proposed in the New York custom house. Eespeotfully yours, John Sherman. Executive Mansion, Washington, May 26. My Dear Sir: I have read the partial report of the commission appointed to examine the New York custom house. 1 concur with the com mission in their recommendations. It is my wish that the collection of the revenue shall be free from partisan control and organized on a strictly business basis, with the same guaran tees for efficiency and fidelity in the selection of the chief subordinate officers that would be required by a prudent merchant. The party leaders should have no more influence in ap pointments than other equally respectable citi zens. No assessments for political purposes on officers or subordinates should be allowed. No useless officer or employe Bhonld be retain ed. No officer should be required or permitted to take part in the management of political organizations, caucuses, conventions or elec tion campaigns. Their right to vote and to ex press their views on public questions, either orally or through the press, is not denied pro vided it does not interfere with the discharge of their official duties. Bespectfully, B. B. Hates. Hon, John Sherman. Secretary Sherman in a letter to the commis sion, also dated the 26th of May, approves their proposition to reduce the force in the New York custom house 20 rer cent., and says the hours of employment thereafter, the 31st inst., will be from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m., and be strictly en forced. Enquiry into the personal of eaeh em ploye must be mainly left to the collector. Three Negro Assassins Lynched. Columbus, Ga„ May 28.—Last Friday morn ing before day-break Mrs. C. C.

They fired the fence and drew her husband onroir Fv/xm iVia hrtnaa Tim norrpnna fVion ceeded to tbe house to rob it and were met b; Mrs. Chambliss, a beautiful woman aged 19, armed with a gun. One of the negroes, Jerry Snead, took the gun away from her and lodged its contents in her head, causing death instant ly. The negroes then burned a corn ctib and fled, but were pursued and captured. Jerry admitted the deed and implicated his compan ions, Stephen Abram and Wm, Booth. They were brought to Chambliss’ house that after noon when it was unanimously decided by about 300 whites and blacks present that they should be hanged. The gallows was erected and the murderers were hanged with trace chains. The colored participants in the lynch ing threw the lifeless bodies into an old field to rot and with great difficulty the whites per suaded them to permit their burial. The cul prits met their fate jeeringly, glorying in the deed and taunting their executioners. A cottou rope was first used on Stephen Abrams, but it broke and he asked tbe crowd to get a stronger one. No other rope could be round and trace chains were used.

The Times’ Bucharest correspondent thus describes the destruction ot the Turkish moni tor: It was oue of the most daring deeds ever re corded. A small detachment of Russian sol diers left the northern shore of the Danube, in a number of small boats. The night being very dark, they managed to surround the mon itor without discovery. When they were final ly observed by the sentries on board, the Turks commeuced firing in the direction ot Matchin, not knowing where the boats came from. The shots flew wide, and during the firing, several Russian soldiers plunged into the water, swam silently to the vessel and placed a torpedo in close contact with its bottom. After it had been securely fastened, the men returned to the neighboring shore. The monitor was blown into the air, and all on board perished. St. Petersburg, May 28.—The real facts of the blowing up of the Turkish monitor are as follows: Russian officers conducted the torpedo to the monitor in open daylight and under fire. One of the Rnssian boats was almost submerg ed by the explosion of the torpedo and another was struck by a shot Circassians Shot for mutiny. A few days ago a nnmber of Circassians in the Russian ssrvice were sent home from Rou mania. It was represented that they were dis charged on account of their lawless conduct towards Roumanians. The Vienna Deutsche Zeitucg now asserts that a conspiracy was dis covered am mg them and a colonel expelled from the army and five other officers shot at Kragava. The Bustchuk Garrison. The Times’ Rustchuk correspondent writes that the twenty odd thousand troops of this garrison are the perfection of soldiers, with perfect faith in their bankrupt government, for the chief of which they shout and salaam every evening at sunset, modern Fanaticism. The disorderly Moslem element is iu a .state of great fury with the Bulgarians and foreign ers generally. The Christians are frightened to death lest some nnfortnnate member of their faith should provide the spark which might livht un such a vlare as would throw ItAtak into tbe shade completely.

Russia concurs in this view and bas given distinct and reassuring explanations on the subject. Tur key has not and the orders given by the Tur kish authorities are of a nature to call forth a decided protest on the part of Austrc-Hungary. This country is entitled to insist that no diffi culties should be raised beyond the immediate requirements of military operations, and that such restrictions should not be extended further nor remain in force longer than is strictly nec essary. Eventually they must be entirely re moved. Austro-Hungary is justified in ex pecting binding engagements from the Porte concerning the freedom of navigation as prompt and complete as those already given by Russia. The claim of the Porte that no vessels be longing to the European commission of the Danube should hoist Thrkish dags is impracti cable as the international character of the Dan ube excludes the idea of placing it under the sovereignty of the Porte. Instructions in accordance with the above have been sent to Austro-Hungarian represen tatives at Constantinople and Bucharest.” War Notes. Tpn ironclads are assembled at Plymouth. The ironclad Thunderer returned to Portsmouth with its machinery disabled. 11,000 horse stalls for transport vessels are being delivered at Woolwich. A Vienna despatch says Abdul Kerim, the Turkish commanderiu-chief, has informed the inhabitants of liustchuk, Varna, Schumla and Silistria, that all persons who have not provis ions for at least six months, must quit within twelve days. A London special says the Czar,accompanied by Prince Gortscbakoif, his personal staff and many eminent generals, will arrive at Ployesti June 7th. A telegram from Tiflis says the Turks hold the roads through the Caucasus from the Black Sea. A special from Alexandria reports that the departure of the Egyptian contingent is de layed by the refusal of 27 English engineers of the fleet to proceed without payment of arrears of salary. The Times correspondent at Dcligrad states that not a single Russian officer bas been sent to Bosnia. The two lieutenants who sunk (he Turkish iron clad with torpedoes, were decorated with the cross of St. George. A St. Petersburg despatch claims that the Russians defeated the Turks at Akoha heights in the Caucasus. A despatch from Berlin says the steamer Essex, laden with Krupp guns for Cronstadt has foundered off Syvden. A despatch from Bucharest states it is now certain the Roumanian army will not cross the Danube with the invading foroes, but remain on the Roumanian side to guard the right flank. A correspondent explains the incident re cently reported from Constantinople about the British consul striking a Turkish officer. It seems that this correspondent with one com panion crossed iu a boat from Giurgevo, and were arrested by Turkish naval officers. They were seriously threatened by a mob. The con sul came to the rescue and pushed the captain out of the way, when the latter tried to stop him. The correspondent thinks the consul's vigorous measures alone preveuted them from bemg thrown into the Danube by the mob. The Standard's Bucharest special says there were three railway accidents iu Roumania Sunday and lives lost in each. The Standard's Rome correspondens says: Although the assertion that Russia had arrived at any understanding or exercised a pressure on the Italian government, is nntrne, Germany has exercised a certain degree of pressure. Germany dreads the possibility that the sym pathies of the Italian court may incline to wards France. The Standard’s correspondent at Constanti nople expresses the belief that the cews of the recapture of Ardahan is authentic. The Times corrnspondent at Rome says the Vatican is seriously bent upon decisive conduct against Russia to, if possible, force her to make explicit declarations as to her religious policy iu Poland. GREAT BRITAIN. Gen. Grant’* Reception at Liverpool. Liverpool, May 28.—Ex-President Grant ai med to-day. Adam Badean, consul at London and vice consul here (in Consul Fairbanks' ab sence), with several prominent Americans, went in a tender to meet the ship. 'The Mayor of Liverpool with a number of prominent citi zens received Gen. Grant at the landing stage on the return of the tender. Hearty cheers followed the tender as Gen. Grant and family left the steamer. Many members of the common council and a large crowd of citizens received the tender with cheers. The Mayor of Liverpool presented General Grant with an address of welcome and said: General, I am glad it has fallen to my lot as chief magistrate of Liverpool to welcome to England so distinguished an American citizen. You, Bir, stamped your name on the world’s history by a .brilliant soldier’s career, and still more as a states men in the interest of peace. In the name of Liver pool I bid you a hearty welcome. I hope that both jrour wife and yourself will enjoy this visit to old The Maj or after welcoming the ex-Presi ucuu cavcuucu iw u i lli iut3 JJUspi lamies OI the town. Gen. Grant returned thanks and accepted the invitation. The party then drove off in the Mayor’s state carriage. To-morrow morning Gen. Grant will visit the docks at the invitation of the dock board, and at 2 o’clock will lunch with the Mayor at the town hall. He purposes going to London later in the afternoon. The Thamea Championship. London, May 27.—The race for the cham pionship of the Thames and £100, over the us ual course, took place to-day between Bobert Watson Boyd of Gales’Head, and John Hig gins of Shadewell. THe race resulted in a vic tory for Boyd. The attendance was goJd; the weather rough. A storm of mud and rain at half the distance nearly threw both the men out of their boats. When the men came out for the start, betting, which had been previous ly 2 to 1 in favor of Higgins, fell to 5 to 4 and even with Higgins for choice. At the first stroke Boyd gained an advantage of nearly two lengths, and increased it to three at the Poiu t, five at Hammersmith, and won by nearly one fourth of a mile in 28 min. 21 sec. EBANCE.

It is understood l hat the additional changes in the administrative staff will number 27. Policy of ihe legitimists. The Legitimist newspapers continue to de clare that the party must maintain a reserved attitude as MacMahon’s government is influ enced by party motives. The Legitimists can only follow MacMahon in a general combat against revolution. JAPAN, San Francisco, May 23.—Japan advices state that the rebellion is being repressed. Consul Van Buren has returned from China. E. T. Sheperd, late consul at Teintsiu,China, has been appointed assistant consul of the Japanese foreign office.

Forty Frenchmen passed through this city yesterday on their way from Lewiston to Frye burg, where they are to peel bark for Mr. Hobson. The battalion of military to do escort duty Memorial day will be under command of Capt. Pennell. It will form in front of Old City Hail at li o’clock.

It is said that a certain commission merchant and a sea captain of this city came to blows in a Commercia'.'street conutiog room Saturday afternoon. They fought several rounds, when the latter got rather the be.-t of the fight, and they were separated. It, was the result of an old feud, which ta write up would make very interesting reading. A Pleasant SunruisE.—Saturday evening a number of the members of the Piue stteet so ciety called at the iesidet.ee of their paslon Kev. C. J. Clark, and left with him and his lady numerous substantial tokens of their es teem for them. The visit was wholly unex pected but fully appreciated by the gratefnl Beet Sugar Manufactory.—Mr. Theodore Gennert, an intelligent German gentleman and chemist, who has had large experience in the cultivation of sugar beets, and the manufac ture of sugar therefrom, has been in the city of late and has called upon several gentlemen interested in the manufacture of sugar to ob tain information in regard to the subject. He is a member of the well known firm of Gen nert Brothers. In 1807 he established a large sugar manufactory at Chatswortb, 111., then went to Europe and superintended the estab lishment of several sugar manufactories there; but latterly has been at Peru, engaged in the manufacture of sugar from cane. He was intending to come this way, hut a paragraph in a Maine paper, giving a statement of the bounty offered by the last Legislature for the cultivation of sugar beet, met his eye and hastened his coming. He thinks that all the conditions are favorable here for the production of the beet, and that a sugar refinery could be made to do the work of manufacturing. Mr. Gennert will be in the state, more or less, during the summer, and will look into the matter thoroughly, with a view to this new industry, which, if developed fully, will prove a mine of wealth to the farmers of Maine. Mr. Gennert has also visited Augusta and had an interview with Gov. Connor. The Yacht Club Cruise.—The Portland Yacht Club started on their annual cruise at 10 o’clock yesterday morning. The wind was fresh and they got a good start. The fleet was under command of Commodore John P. Thomas. The following yachts staited and will probably continue through the cruise: Princess—Commodore J. P. Thomas. Kay—Ex-Commodore A. M. Smith. Viva—Secretary G. Winthrop ltoot. Vif—Capt. C. M. Thomas. Nellie—Capt. J. E. Bradford. Whisper—Capt. A. G. Puller. Rambler—Capt. Stauwood. Twilight—Capt. Charlton. Undine—Capt. Chase. Mist—Capt. Yeaton. A very large number of the members of the Club went on the several yachts. A despatch received from a member of the party last evening tells the story in brief. It Bays: The Portland Yacht Club, Commodore J. P. Thomas in command, left Custom House wharf at 10 a. m. Had a good run to Small Point, where we lay to for dinner. We then shaped our coarse for Wisoassef, where we came to anchor at 4.50. The weatner is fine and all are well. Miss Marsh’s Re-appearance.— There was 1 rnnr nnArl finiicA of Mian Mnnakln _l_a. evening to welcome this lady’s re-appearance. The comedy of “London Assurance” with Miss Marsh as Lady Gay Spanker was the bill of the evening. Miss Marsh appeared to excel lent advantage and in the description of the race was very animated and spirited. Mr. Mc Call was a very good Harkaway and Mr. Liston as Sir Harcourt Courtley was sufficiently stupid. Mr. Wooderson made a very pleasing Mr. Spanker, his make up being excellent and his interpretation correct. The Dazzle of Mr. Gossin was noticeable for its spirit and clever by-play. Miss Bailey was very acceptable as Grace Harkaway and Miss Williams was a very vivacious Pert. The other characters do not call for special mention. On Wednesday evening Mr. Rich, the treas urer, will take his benefit and his friends pro pose to make it worthy of the receipient. “Lemons”, the latest sensation, will be given the remainder of the week by Daily’s Fifth Avenue Company. The Texas Colonx.—The Texas colony met last evening and effected a permanent or ganization. The following are the officors elected: President—Alexander Stanton. Vice Presidents—G. A. Merry, Martin Hyer and Chas. A. Maxwell. Secretary—Chas. H. Choate. Treasurer—E. L. Dyer. Superintendent of Rooms—Martin Hyer. Directors—Chas, A. Maxwell, Chas. Jack son, Wm. H. Gilpatrick, R. B. Whitcomb aud Geo. A. Leavitt. The meeting was quite enthusiastic and it was voted to start an advance guard at once. Mr. Stanton and L. H. Appleton and B. W. Severns of the colony will leave for Texas on Monday next. They are authorized to make all the arrangements for the reception of the colony. When all is ready Mr. Stanton will return to aooompany the first company to their destination. Personal. Rev. Dr, Carruthers has regained his health sufficiently to be able to rtde out. M. L. Stevens, Esq. of this city is to deliver the Memorial address at Farmington. If Gen. Ranm, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, should retire, Gen. Sewall of Maine, chief of internal revenue agents, is thought to be in in the line of promotion. Mr. Tash, the newly elected Superintendent of Schools, was in town yesterday. Although he has not yet formally accepted the position, there is no doubt but what he will in a few a ays. At a meeting of the alumni of the Union Theological Seminary in New York, on Tues day of last week, it was voted that the alumni strive to raise a fund of §10,000 for the endow ment of a Henry B. Smith Memorial Reference Library, as a part of tbe library of tho Sem inary. Prof. Smith was a graduate of Bow doin aud died but a few month since. Body Identified.—The body recently res cued from the dock was yesterday identified as that of Mr. Horace Prior of Brooklyn, New York. A sister of the deceased heard of the finding of the body aud sent to Coroner Gould, asking to have pieces of tho clothing forward ed. They were sent Friday and identified at once, and yesterday noon the lady arrived here and identified the body as that of her brother. It was enclosed in an air tight casket and will be sent to New York lo-day. Mr. Prior was a sailor and was missed from hi3 vessel here some time in January last. It is supposed that he attempted to board tbe vessel alter dark and fell from tbe wharf and was drowned. New Uniforms.—The Mechanic Blues have received about forty of their new uniforms and will appear for the first time in them on Memorial Day, when it is expected they will make a Hue appearance The pants are of light blue wiltfa wide buff stripe oa the side. The coat is of dark blue with buff trimmings and gilt lace. The caps are of a very pretty pattern and have a large gilt letter ‘’B” in front. A largo white plume surmounts the cap. The epaulettes are of a new design and are a great improvement over the old ones. Tbe cartridge boxes are of stout leather and have tho letters “P. M. B.” upon them, as da the belt buckles to be worn in front. Temperance Meeting.—Tbe North Gor ham Reform Club held a very enthusiastic and anr'.P.PKsfnl mpp finer at. Stand i«h finn.low afternoon Mr. G. A. Merry and 15. H Mur phy of Portland, were present, and gave stir ring and effective addresses. Several signatures were obtained to the pledge. The Club held a meetiDg in the evening at tbeir hall at North Gorham, which was very ioteresting. En couraging addresses were given on this occa sion by Messrs. Merry and Murphy. This Club is in a very prosperous condition. Contemplate building a new hall. About Weather.—Tho following report from Parson Smith’s journal gives a synopsis of the weather for 1741 and for 1777, just a hundred years ago: 1741—May l,a fine season as ever was known. 31st, no person in the land ever saw such a spring, so hot and intermixed with seasonable showers. July 15, a wonderful year for grass and hay. 1777—May 15, it is agreed to ho tho coldest weather and most backward spring that ever was. 28tb, raw, cold, with a deluge of raio, Aug. 18, never was therefsuch gardens, never such fields, never such pastures, never such a year for everything. The Moorish Dancing Girl.—Moote’s pic ture of the Moorish dancing girl, now on exhibition at Hale.s, is attracting a multitude of art lovers and sight seers. The praises be stowed upon it in Boston are certainly not extravagant, for the painting is a marvel of richDess in color. In order to secure it for exhibition for a limited time, Hale was obliged to insure the picture for §8000. Arrest for Breaking and Entering.— Frank Bixby of Saccarappa was arrested by Constable Meserve of that place yesterday. There are two charges against Bixby; first, that te stole a coat from the house of Mr. Hacker on Sunday; and that be was oDe of a gang of thiee or four whr broke into the store of the King Brot. Sunday night, and took some tobacco, cigars, &c. Others connected with the latter exploit will probably be arrested. The Chorus Choir.—We are riquoted to say that on account of the Memorial Day ex ercises the rehearsal of the Portland Chorus Choir has been p .stponrd Burn Wednesday evening of this neek to ihe same evening o^ next week ct tho chaiel of the State street church. The mi mbers of the Ohoir are re quested to be present and assist at the Union Service at Free street churctftn Thursday eve *•*"1 next. .i-.v. ,T The Flower Mission. Iu response to the call made through the Press contributions of flowers were sent to the Coffee Booms last Saturday morning, and very quietly the “Flower Mission” began its good work. Some fifty or more boquets were ar ranged, and taken by the young ladies to the hospitals, Home for Aged Women, Orphan Asylum and Jail, while a few found a welcome in homes where flowers were indeed a luxury. What lessons of trust and hope the flowers taught, coming on a rainy day and at the end of a gloomy week we cannot tell, but the sur prise, gratitude and pleasure which the recipi ents expressed, (especially at the Greely Hos pital) proved unmistakably their appreciation for the kind sympathy thus evinced, and testi fied also to the universal love for flowers. This, however, is but one part of the good work pro posed for the mission. Realizing the impor tance of nourishing food to the sick, and to supply a need often met with by physicians among their poorer patients, the ladies will be prepared to send beef tea, jellies, &c., to such invalids as may be endorsed by physicians, or other responsible parties. To perfect these plans, all persons who arc interested in this mission for the distribution of flowers, fruit and delicacies to the sick, are requested to meet at Congress Hall this afternoon at 2 o’clock.

School Committee. The regular monthly meeting of the School Committee was held last evening and the fol lowing business was transacted: Ordered, That the Superintendent of Public School Buildings be requested to issue propo sals for school supplies, subject to the appro priations to be made by the City Council. Wednesday next being Memorial Day, the schools will have a whole holiday. The followiEg notice is given in accordance with the rales: The public schools end the pres ent year on June 30,1877. The next year be gins August 27, 1877, and ends June 29, 1878. The Superintendent was joined with the fol lowing members of the Board to arrange for the annual examinations: Dr. Hill, on High School; Mr. Burgess, on Grammar Schools; Mr. Libby, on Primary Schools. A Rake Astronomical Display.—A com plete aurora (or corona) was observed forming at 9 o’clock last evening. Luminous beams shot up from every point of the horizon and the entire sky was covered with a wavy, quiv ering canopy of flame. From east to west north to south, the brilliant waves flashed, al moof iinonnci’noliT until 11 n m Tlin /linnlnn was the finest observed in this latitude for many years. The sky resembled a firy dome, whose crown appeared to rest upon variegated pillars of fire, which were frequently traversed by waves or flashes of light. These beams are simply illumined space?, caused by tbe flow of electricity through the upper regions of tbe at mosphere. The formation of an “auroral corona” near the magnetic zenith is the effect of perspective resulting from a number of lum nous beams all parallel to each other. A Gas Main on Fire.—Last evening about 9 o’clock the new gas main which is going down began to leak at the foot of Brackett street. A workman took a lantern and started to find the leak when the gas took fire from the laDtern and blew out the stopper which was in the end of the pipe. The gas from the whole main then burst forth, and the flames shot into the air ten feet or more. Word was sent to the works and the gas was shat off, and after burn, iug the gas iu the pipo the fire went out. The cost of the gas consumed will be quite a con siderable sum. The pipe was also injure^ at tho end.

The warm pleasant weather ^liis spring has enabled the farmers to get tbeir crops into the ground much earlier than usual, and a much larger amount is planted. Especially is this so in regard to the two staple crops—corn and wheat. The rains of the present week have started the grass, which shows a remarkable growth for the season, and unless we have a very severe drouth the crops must be the largest gathered for years. The dry weather and scircity of rains has putLUVlu uui uiimui.il I1UU1 OEOUliU^ LUG UOUal number of logs. It is estimated tbat the drive will secure about oue-balf of the logs cut. The new building erected by the Odd Fellows is being plastered and will suun be ready for occupancy. While nothing elaborate has been attempted the building is one suited to the wants of the Lodge, and one tbat will improve the appearance ot the street. The stores aud offices will be roomy and pleasant. Toe M. 0. It. It. Co. are improving their grounds here, building new platforms to ac commodate the lumbermen, movingtheirbuild ings so as to make their busincess more compact. The building lately injured by lire is beiDg repaired in a thorough manner. The Fairfield Framing and Furnishing Co. have commenced work in earnest. The old mill purchased of the Fairfield Fur niture Co.—50 by 112—has been raised up one story and prepared for the heavy work of fram ing and fitting large timber. The new mill ad joining is a two story building 50 by 112, and turnishod with the smaller machinery necessary for the work. Everything is now in readiness and orders will te received for mills, churches, halls or dwelling houses; the materials for which will be prepared ami shipped all ready to put together. By the use of machinery the cost of building, and especially of framing, can be materially reduced. The mills are connect ed by a side track with the railroad, and being so near the saw mills their facilities for filling orders are unsurpassed. The members of the firm, Messrs. Smith, Kobiuson Co are all practical mechanics aud thoroughly acquainted with their business, Mr. Smith having tor years been foreman of the mill at Waterville owned by Smith Header, and used for the same purpose as this. Quite a number of our citizens who left for the “Black Hills” in April are daily expected home. Among the number on the road this way are three or four old miners who come back because there is nothing for them there. They report a most dismal prospect for those who remain, aud advise those at home to re main there. Seth.

Indications of sickness shonld at once be at tended to. Fatal Diseases may be caused by allow ing the bowels to become constipated, and the sys tem to remain in a disordered condition, until the disorder has time to develop itself. An ounce of pre vention is worth a pound of cure, is an old and truth ful saying. Therefore, we advise a’l who are troub led with the complaints now very prevalent—head ache, indigestion, disordered liver, want of appetite, nausea, or feverish skin, to take without delay Schenck’s Mandrake Pills. We know of no remedy so harmless and decisive in its action. It at once strikes at the root of the disease and produces a healthy tone to the system. People never need suf fer from any disease arising from a disordered con dition of the liver if they would take this excellent medicine when they feel the first indications of the malady. Families leaving heme for the summer months should take three or four boxes of these pills with therfi. They have an almost instantaneous ef l feet. They will relieve the patient of headache in one or two hours, and will rapidly cleanse tho liver of surrounding bile, and will effectually prevent a bilious attack.

POETRY. A Russian War Song. From, the Original of Jlreakallofyourteethtopro nouncehisnameofski, the Muscovite Warrior-Poet, "We're coming, Alexander, at least a million more, From Kanineskaeja’s bay and Obskalagouba’s shore; From Karakouska’s trczen wild, from Tymskaia’s plain, We’re marching, Alexander, with all our might and main. FromGatmonsckino’s forests, from Tgchernorbeskoi’s vale, From Wassiagourbska’s blooming fields, from Olmy* Bkia’s dale. From Kakamajora’s villages, frcm Meidoucbarki's isle, We're comiDg, Alexander, the weary rank and file. From polysyllabic villages we're marching gaily down And we’re gciDg to rot in Turkey to gild anew your crown: We’re on to Schernavoda, and Krajojevaez wo seek, And we’re headed by some generals whose names no tongue can speak. From provinces and districts whoee names before the eye Look like an algebraic problem tumbled into pi. We “alrows” and ouskies,” “efls” and 4oft&” and “vitcbcs,” For Holy Church and pious Czar will die in Turkish ditches. THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. Sprcinl Fertilizer.. It is sometimes tbe case that special man do not seem to anewer the purpose for whi the; are designed. Although made after a proved formulas they are not satisfactory to the buyer and reflect no credit on the manufac turer. To many farmers this fact seems to be abundant proof that the whole series of special fertilizers is radieally wrong and that no reli ance can be placed upon them. But in this we think they judge too harshly. They forget the very important fact that fertilizers should not only be adapted to the crops which are to be grown but also to the soilB to which they aie applied. We are confident that the special fer tilizer theory is correct as far as it goes. If we are to raise corn we ongbt to famish the land with just those materials which corn takes from tbe soil; while if wheat is grown.we need a very different kind of a fertilizer because wheat takes the element of fertility from the land in different proportions from the corn crop. So far so good. But it should be kept in mind that soils vary as well as crops and that a fertilizer which under certain circum stances is just adapted to a certain crop will under other conditions, prove imperfect. Some soils contain large quantities of vegeta ble matter and are very deficient in mineral elements, while others contain the mineral matters to excess and are deficient in other respects. Now it is evident that manure which is just suited to produce a good crop of corn in one of these kinds of soil will not be just right for the other kind. One kind of iauu win uccu iud ap|nu;abiuu ui uiiuciai eic ments almoEt to exclusion of the vegetables, while others, which already contain a large quantity of mineral matter, require the addi tion of something totally different. So, let no one be discouraged if his experiments with special fertilizers do not, at first, ptove all which he desires. The fertilizer may be all a* right for the crop but not adapted to tbe soil, f Whether this is the case or not can be determ ined by experiment and if it bo found to be the cause of tbe failure the mixture can be modified for succeeding crops. We believe there is such a thing as furnishing both crops and soils with just the elements tbey require and without the admixture of large quantities of useless mate rial.—ST. E. Homestead. Trakene Hones. F, D. Curtis writes to the New York Tribune as follows: I am pleased to learn from Mr. Waterman, who brought over the seven stallions imported by Barnum, that after this year’s service in the ring they will be used for breeding. These horses are jet black in color, with now and then a white foot, and stand about 15 hands high, and average about 1000 pounds each. Their coats a>e like silk, so close and fine, and hoofs like iron. They have never been shod except for the trip from Paris to London. I have never seen cleaner cut, more sinewy, tougher ‘looking animals. Their heads are small and bony, with large eyes and a wonder fully intelligent expression. They have long, arched necks, with full flowing mane and tail. Notwithstanding tbe long and tedious journey they are in fine condition, and, like old Mes senger, it took more than one full grown man to handle any one of them when lauding. They are of a thoroughbred breed, from tbe Trakene district in Prussian Poland, where they are bred with great care, the males being used almost exclusively for the officers in the Prussian army. I should judge from their ap pearance that they possess wonderful powers of endurance, and when crossed with American horses they will establish a showy and valua ble breed for the road and hard work. Unlike the English thoroughbreds they are not long legged, nor do they have such high withers and eloping rumps. Their eveness in bight and weight and their uniformity in style and shape are most remarkable; any two of them would make a perfect match if put together. Tbey are known In Europe as the Trakene breed. Number of Eggs per Annum. After repeated experiments with the differ ent varieties of ch'ckens, and comparisons with others who have experimented in the same di rection, it is concluded that tbe laying capaci ties of the principal varieties average about as follows: Light Brahmas and Partridge Cochins—Eggs 7 to the pound; lay 130 per annum. Dark Brahmas—Eggs 8 to tbe pound; lay 120 per annum. Black, White and Buff Cochins—Eggs 8 to trie pouuu; lay iao per uuuuin. Plymouth Kock—Eggs 8 to the pound; lay 150 per annum. Houdansy-Eggs 8 to the pound; lay 150 per annum. LaFleche—Eggs 7 to the pound; lay 130 per annum. Creve Coeurs—Eggs 8 to the pouud; lay HO per annum. Black Spanish—Eggs 7 to the pound; lay HO per annum. Leghorns—Eggs 8 to the pound; lay 100 per annum. Hamburgs—Eggs 9 to the pound; lay 1G0 per annum.* Polish—Eggs 9 to the pound; lay 125 per an num. Dominiques—Eggs 9 to the pound; lay 135 per annum. Bantams—Eggs 1G to the pound; lay 90 per annum. Games—Eggs 9 to the pound; lay 130 per an num. To Make least without Feast. On Monday morning boil two ounces of hops in four quarts of water half an hour; strain it, and let the liquor cool to the temperature of new milk. Put in small handful of salt, and one-half pound of brown sugar. Beat up one half pound of flour with some of the liquor, and' mix well together, and let it stand antil Wed nesday. Then add three pounds of raw pota toes, grated. Let it stand until Thursday; then bottle for use. It must be stirred frequently, and kept near the fire while making. Before using it shake up well. It requires no more than half the quantity of this yeast than it does of other yeast to make a baking of bread, and it rises in a few hours. I am using yeast that I started with this receipt more than three years ago. The best time to make it is in warm weather, as there is then no danger of its get ting chilled. Cologne Water. To make an excellent cologne, take one pint of odorless cologne spirit and add: Oil of ber gamont sixty drops, oil of lemon sixty drops, oil clove two drops, oil rose two drops, tincture of musk sixty drops, pure honey sixty drops, or one heaping teaspoonlul, tincture of amber gris fifteen drops, tincture of benzoine simple eight drops. Another receipt is as follows; Oil of berga mont three drops, oil lemon three drops, oil rosemary six drops, oil of orange twenty-two drops, oil of neroli petals twelve drops, cologne spirit six ounces; mix. A Cheap Bed Quilt. Take a good quality of unbleached cotton, run up the breadths for top and lining of quilt, and then color it with cheap domestic dye, such as japonica, annatto. white oak bark, or any such thing. Quilt them coarsely, and put more cotton batting in them than would be needed for ordinary bed quilts. They will wear years longer than the ordinary new calico, aud are especially to be desired in large families of boys. If desired, outside spreads may be made of more I fanciful material. A Durable Whitewash. For a good out-door whitewash that will not rub off, mix unslaked lime with about as much water as will be required in use, and add about half a pound of tallow for each peck of lime. The heat of the lime in slaking melts tho tal low which should be thoroughly stirred in and the stirring continued while using. Spoiled lard, or other grease, will answer in place of the tallow. To Clean Tcetb. To clean teeth, nse a wash of two ounces of borax dissolved in three pints of water: belor quite cold add one teaspoonfnl of tincture of myrrh and one tabiespoonful of spirits of came phor. One wineglass full of this, added to half a pint of tepid water, is sufficient for each ap plication. This applied daily preserves and beautifies the teeth, extirpates tartarous adhes ion, produces a pearl-like whiteness, and in duces a healthy action of the gums. t«ood Cement. A good cement to mend broken china is made by mixing a thick soultion of gum Ara bic with plaster of Paris until it becomes a sticky paste. Stick the broken edges together with this, and let them remain three days. Piaster of Paris mixed with water to the con sistency of cream, form an excellent article for mending lamps that have become loose, for covering cracks and holes in white walls, etc. Hair Oil, Take half a pint of alcohol and one pint of castor oil, mix them together in a bottle by shaking them well. Then scent it with a few drops of lavendar. Alcohol dissolves castor oil like gum camphor, leaving the liquid or wash quite clear, ft does not seem to dissolve any other unctuous oil so perfectly, hence no other is equally good for this purpose. Red Ants.

Petroleum Tor Fowls. A correspondent of the Poultry Journal and Itecord living in the centre of the “Great Hell” of the petroleum prodacing region of Pennsylvania, says: “I have had ample oppor tunity to test the value of petroleum to the poultry fancier, both in a crude and refined Btate; and I can safely say that it is one of the greatest medicines that can be used. I feed it in the mixed food to my poultry in the propor tion of a tablespoonful once or twice a week to live hens. Either this or cleanliness in my poultry yards has kept me free of roup, chol era, and, iu fact, all other diseases. The free use of it will cure roup entirely, and 1 believe, cholera also.

Recipe lor Mock Mince Pie. One cup of raisins, one cnp of currants, one cup of syrup, one cnp of sugar, three-fourths of of a cup of vinegar, one teaspoonful of all spice, one teaspoonful of cinnamon, three cups of water, Boil all together, and when cool add three soda crackers rolled tine. This will make three pies. Stains in Mailing. To remove iron stains from a straw matting, make a mixture of oxalic acid, two drachms, alum'two drachms, iodide of iron’one drachm, water, four ounces. Dissolve. Dampen a piece of cotton flannel, and apply to the part you wish to erase, and afterwerd wash well with water. Iodine. To use iodine without discoloration take hy pophosphite soda one ounce, aqua two scruples. Mix and add to the iodine until discolored. Only a small quantity of iodine is needed. Ap ply with a camel’s hair brush. l,amb tu:lel». Trim the slices free from fat, beat the yolk of an egg with rasped bread or crackers, season with pepper and salt, dip in the cutlets and fry in batter gently until thoroughly done. To Kill Red Bugs.
