The Use OF Lemons.

When persons are feverish and thirs-
ty beyond what is natural, indicated
in some cases by Il metallic taste in the
mouth, especially after drinking water,
or bya whitish appearance of the great
CIR part of the surface OF. the tongue, one
of the best " coolers" is, to take a lemon,
cut off the top, sprinkle over it some
loaf sugar, working it down into the
lemon with spoon, and then suck it
slowly, squeezing the lemon, and add
ing more sugar, as the acidity increases
from being brought up from a lower
point.
Invalids with fcverishness may take
two or three lemons Il day in this man
ner, with most marked benefit, mani
tested by Il sense of GOODNESS, comfort,
and invigoratiOn. a lemon or two
thus taken ut "tea-time," is an entire
substitute for the ordinary supper of
summer, and would give many man
Il comfortable nights sleep and an APP
petite for breakfast, to which they are
strangers, who will have their cup of
tea, or supper of ssrelish" and "cakc,'
and berries and cream.

Agricultural Report for April.

WAsHINGTON, April 27.-The April
report from the agricultural department
on the condition of the winter grain
says: The low temperature of the
month of March and the accumulation
of the winter snow and ice have retard
ed the springing of vegetable life and
tinged with gloom the views of local
reporters. Over a large area at the date
of returns, snow still deeply covered the
grain fields, and only conjecture, foun-
ded on the forwartlness and vigor of
plants at the opening of winter and on
the mechanical condition of the soil,
and severity of the season, could point
to the probable status Of the winter
grain.
The general tenor of reports carries
the idea, not of sweeping destruction
by freezing, but of injury by thinning
out, bug-kiIling in spots and patches,
especially retarding an carly start of
vigorous growth; in many cases plants
apparently dead were only sleeping;
unprOnising in appearance, but firmly
rooted and ready, with f;,voring warmth
and sunshine, to start into sure and
steady, if not rapid growth.
Where the fields were drained, the
soil deep and mellow, the casualties of
ClC " HUI INV - w IcIS
the seeding was done with the drill, on
land having any fair degree of prepar-
alton, almost absolute immunity from
loss by freezing has been secured.
The April returns, as Il whole, indi-
cate rather more than an average
amount of destruction by winter kill
ing, retarded growth and stuntcd APP
pearance, but Il sound condition of the
roots of the plants in suitable soil, or
that were covered uniformly with
snow, which, with fs,voring weather,
may secure Il vigorous growth and a
good yield.

Chicken Salad.

Boil till tender three plump young
chickens, take off the skin and remove
the flesh from the bones. When this

half inch pieces, do not hash it, and
scatter over it IL teaspoonful of salt.
Then take the yoll>s of three hard boil
ed egss, and with Il wooden salad spoon
rub them into q creamy paste, with
six tablespoonful of sweet olive oil,
six of sharp vinegar, one Of made mus.
tard, one of salt, one of pepper and Il
quarter of fine Cayenne; add to this
the yolks three raw eggs, we'll beaten,
and cover all close till needed. Cut
your celery in pieces the size of your
chicken in Il large bowl, and mix
with the dressing just before sending to
the table. Ornament with green sprigS
of celery, and whites of eggs cut in
rings.

Rock Cream.

This will be found Il very ornamental
as we'll as II delicious dish for Il supper
table. Boil a tcacupful of the best rice
till quite soft in new milk ; swccten it
with powdered loaf sugar, and pile it
upon 4 dish. Lay on it in different
places square Jumps of currant jelly or
preserved fruit of any kind; beat up
the white of five eggs to Il stiff froth,
with Il little powdered sugar, and flavor
either with orangc-ilowcr water or va
nilla. Add to this, when beaten very
stiff, about a tablespoonful of rich cream
and drop it Owe: the rice, giving it the
form of Il rock of snow.

REAR AND FORBEAR.

BE careful, we whose welded hearts,
Are lovingly united;
Be heedful, lest an enemy
Steal on you invited!
A little willy serpent form,
With graceful, Turing poses;
Or, coming in different guise,
A thorn among the roses!
Be careful, we whose marriage bells
Now merrily are ringing;
BE heedful of the bitter word
The answer keen and singing.
The sharp retort, the angry eye,
It's vivid lightning flashing,
The rock on which so many hopes
Are daily, hourly, dashing!
s.Bear and forbear;'' the only way
To tread life's path together;
Then come, and welcome, shining sun.
Or come dark, cloudy weather.
Two loving hearts dissolved in one,
That cannot live assunder,
Have put Loves golden armor OH
oh, world, look on and wonder!

WASHINGTON.
Ftnancial-The Boston Fire

WASHINGTON, November ll.-A
heavy pressure is being brought to bear
on Secretary Boutwell, to take some ac-
tion for the relief OF the money market at
New York, from stock gamblers. The
Secretary sees no necessity for an alarm,
and it is not probable he will take any
action unless matters assume q more
unfavorable phase. Controller of the
Currency Knox left here last evening
for Boston to examine the condition OF
the National Banks in that city, but 60
lar CO heard from none are involved.
Secretary Boutwell, will do everything
in his power to ease the money market
from any stringency which may arise,
The Secretary OF the Treasury this
forenoon received a telegram from the
president OF the Merchants Bank, OF
Boston, saving that there is no reason
tor a pane il the bank. stand firm.
The loss ia large, but it tails upon per-
sons who are generally able to stand it.
Another telegram to the Secretary.
dated New York, this morning, says
the disposition to create a panic has
abated, and the writer gratuitously sug.
ges,s that there s no need for the Secre-
tary to do anything financially.
Information Is received that so lar as
the Treasury is concerned no loss has
been sustained BY the fire, the funds
and bonds being uninjured.
Secretary Boutwell, will take no &C.
ton in relation to the iuancisl com.
plications which may grow out OF the
Boston fire, unless it should be uecessa-
~ and be recommended BY Assistant
Secretary Richardson and Controller OF
Currency Knox, who will examine into
the condition of tue Boston banks, &c.
The Secretary does not aoticipa,e any
fin .ncial panic, though the heavy losses
will, tor q time, seriously interfere With
the business interests OF The country.

tribute to the departed chieftain. A
universal expression Of sorrow and q
general feeling OF sympathy is apparent
everyyhere. The cessation OF business,
and the absence of hustle in the COM
mercisl portions Of the city have the

CINCINNATI


CINCINNATI, November 1.-THE
horse disease continues to spreaa rapid
ly, and it is thought tonight that at
least half the horses in the city are
afflicted. Two-thirds Of the cars on
John street and Central avenue are sus.
pended to-day, and the remainder will
probably be taken off tomorrow.
About one-half the cars on Seventh
and Ninth streets have been withdrawn,
and the same number on Third and
Fourth streets. On the Pendleton
route and Vine streets and Mount
Auburn about one-third have been
taken of. Large numbers Of coal cart
horses are doWa with the d sease, and
the transfer and Express Companies
business is being seriously interrupted.
Arrangements are being made as far as
possible to substitute oxen. Dr.. Glen"
den, the Health Officer, states that the
disease is raging with more viruIence
among the mules than the horses in
this city. At the present rate it is
thought that business, as far as horses
are concerned, will be at stand still by
Wednesday.
The Boston suHerers-Tender Of
Aid.
The Boston fire was the chief topic
OF conversation to-day.
A large meeting of the members OF
the Chamber Of Commerce was held at
which resolutions of sympathy were
passed, and also requesting the City
Council to adops such measures as will
give 40 opportunity to extend relief.
A meeting Of the City Council, held
this afternoon. was largely attended.

been visited by conhagIatlon that has
destroyed the greater portion OF the
business houses OF that beautiful city,

Rssolved, That the city OF Cincinnati
in her municipal capacity deeply
sympathizes with the people of Boston
in their great calamity.
Resolved, That a committee OF two
from each Board of the Common Coun.
Gil be appointed to communicate with
the Boston authorities, and if necessary
to visit that city and ascertain what aid
they can render them in their misor-
tune.

The Press on the Boston Fire.
ALL city newspapers comment on
the calamity.
The Tribune thinks it is the CONNER
cial aspect of the case. which is the
most appalling. The financial re-
sources of Boston are enormous, but she
will need them all. Our insurance sys-
TEN will once more be subject to the
most severe trial. Boston is entitled to
unlimited sympathy. She has the
heart, az she viii at once have the help
ing hand of the million.
The Herald says the Boston fire is
not a calamity to that city alone. g
effect will he felt iu every city in the
Union, and even in Europe. 1t urges
New York to stretch out a helping
hand to Boston. 1t is not enough to
feel regret; We must act generously and
at once
The Times thinks that the Boston
fire carries with it 8 great loss for
our large cities, and proves the inutility
of a majority OF the present modes OF
structure as a proof against fire. 1t Is
confident that the commercial men OF
New York and elsewhere will extend
help to Boston. The Times depreca'es
the attempts at creatiDga financial
panic, and thinks that Secretary Bout
we'll can be relied upon to prevent
such panic.
Tne pastors of the churches have
taken it as theme for OBSCURE. Beecher
last evening preached from the subject,
"Tbe Plauge, Fever and Fire"
Thieves Leaving for Boston.
Large numbers of thieves and cut
,hrosts have lett this city for Boeton
and detectives have gone to that city to
assist the police and military in pre-
venting any serious depredations and
many OF these creatures have already
been eummarily dealt with.
