The Great French Pilgrimage Z
L0ur1es.

The Great French Pilgrimage to
Lourdes.
M. Theirs, in late session of the Assembly,
with considerable warmth called attention to
the contumelious treatment which certain
pilgrims received at the hands Of the French
populace on their way to q shrine in the
South of France. He resented it as an insult
to the national religion. The pilgrims to
whom he referred were those on their way
to Lourdes, quaint old village in lovely
spot under the shadow of the snow-clad
Pyrenees. Hard by this village are the grot-
toes or caverns Of Massabielle, scooped by
natures hand out of the solid rock, and in
one Of these grottoes, they say, young peas
ant girl, named Bernadette Soubirous, in
1858, saw time and again the vision Of q
beautiful lady, clad in pure white. They say,
too, that this girl of fourteen, when once en-
tranced before the mystic vision, commenced
digging with her hands upon the earth that
covered the rock before the grotto, and that
thereupon q stream burst forth which has
flowed ever since, with the usual reputation
of working miraculous cures. Il has
been a great resort for pilgrims, but
until this year it has never reached
the dignity Of national movement, that is, SO
far as Catholicism there is national. Fifty
thousand people Of both sexes and all ages
and stations have journeyed thither from the
most remote districts Of France, to pray before
the shrine Of Mary Of Lourdes for the saliva
ton, peace and prosperity of France. The
terrible visitation that humbled France has
already produced such extraordinary manifes-
tations of faith and hope in the rehabilitation
Of the nation as the world in its most heroic
ages has never surpassed This great religious
movement Of faith in Divine assistance is
really one Of them, although unique in its
character. Even those who sneer at what they
will call superstition, as well as those who
only smile at childlike faith, will not fail to
be impressed by the lesson of pure patriotism
which it teaches. The jeers that met them on
their way did not intimidate them. It was
scepticism laughing at credulity; both, doubt
less, burning with the same yearning to exalt
France and each ignorant that the other could
be anything but a stumbling block in the way.
In another portion Of the HERALD we give an
interesting description Of the origin of the
pilgrimage and this its latest manifestation.

A STEAMSHIP DISASTER Of terrible magnitude
has taken place in Mexican waters. The
steamer Guatemala, Of the Panama and Aca-
pulco line, has been wrecked on the bar of
Sanala, In the State of Chiapas, the most
southern State of Mexico. According to the
account telegraphed by the United States
Charge dAfaires at the City Of Mexico to the
American Consul at Matamoros twenty-three

The WEEK IN WALL STREET closed with
continued activity in the stock market and
quiet and steady speculation in gold. The outgo
of specie by yesterdays steamers was about a
million and half of dollars-a rather rare
movement for this time Of year. Trade in
Great Britain is represented as SO depressed by
the activity of money that our merchandise is
not furnished the ready market it usually has
been at this season. Hence gold, cotton, wheat
and petroleum are all on or near the level of
exportable availability. Money was easy most
of the week, but closed with better demand

Warm Stables VS.. Blankets.

The health of a horse, like that of a man,
depends very much upon natural system
of life. Artificial systems require double
the care, and however sleek the horse may
look under heavy coating of blankets
and an occasional medical "dope" his ca
pacity for endurance is much less than
that of horse, which, however rough he
may look, has nerves and endurance built
only upon regular, natural food and expos
ure to the varied changes of the atmo-
sphere. 1t may be all very well for the
fancy to clip the hair all off from the horse,
and then cover him with clothing in order
to have his coat look fine and smooth, but
it will not do for the horse of all work.
Nature has provided covering, and where
use is designed, the horse needs only that
with good grooming and warm stable !;
or if blanket is ever used let it be done
whenever the horse is left standing out of
door in harness. Make the stable as warm
as a dirt floor or battened boarding will
permit give plenty bedding and with
abundance of food for the horse is better
able to stand labor and exposure than if
kept on a board floor where cold air circu-
lates underneath and covered with blan-
kets. Our experience is in favor of dirt
floors without blankets. Dirt floors well
Uttered are no more trouble to keep neat
and clean than board floors, and no stable
with dirt floor and decently boarded up
will ever be cold enough to cause a horse
to shiver.-OhiO Farmer.

Brahmas-Rules for Breeding.

After careful observation and consider
able experience, find that, for all gener-
al purposes, the light Brahmas are the
best fowls have yet found.
First-They do not roam all over the
premises, which to those who value good
garden is considerable of an item. My
Brahmas nevet think of crossing an ordi-
nary board fence.
Second-They are more reliable lay ers,
and lay larger eggs and more of them.
Notwithstanding others testi-
mony, l find them to make good settlers
and most excellent mothers.
Fourth-The young chickens mature
quickly, which, for those who raise spring
chickens for the market, or table, is a
great consideration.
Fifth-When grown, one has as much
meat as two ordinary chickens.
L believe many of the failures of those
beginning to raise chickens, are caused by
lack of knowledge of a few general
rules. And it may help some if L give
from my experience few rules.
First-Never set hen in a box above
the ground or floor of the chicken house,
if possible, as the eggs dry too fast and lose
their vitality. If possible to set hens on
the ground you viii have much better sue
cess.
Second-Never set more than fifteen
eggs, no matter how large the hen. Some
SET OILY Ten VI Twelve, DuJ uuueI OIulIldIy
fowls, thirteen or fifteen will hatch as
readily as less number-though more are
a waste.
Third-Always be careful to mark the
eggs set, with the date of setting, as other
hens often lay on the same nest with set
ting hen, and when the brood is ready to
come off, extra unmatched eggs are left in
the nest, which you can not account for,
and do not know how to dispose of except
by waste, not knowing when they were
laid.
Fourth-keep memorandum of all hens
set, with dates when they should come eff,
that you may have coops and proper food
prepared for them. Also take the young
chicks from the hen as they dry, because
sometimes they may run over their time a
little, or hatch earlier.
Fifth-Better let hens come off their
nests for a short time for food and water,
than to confine them and feed on the nest.

with Stats of lath across in the form of an
A, make an excellent coop.-Wallace, in

CLOSING CRACKS IN SToVEs.-It may
be convenient to know a ready method of
closing up cracks, which are not uncom-
mon in cast iron stoves; and we are as
sured that the following receipt is a reli-
able one
fine sieve, to which is to be added the
same quantity of clay finely pulverized
together with little salt. The mixture is
to be moistened with water enough to
make paste, and the crack of the stove
filled with it. The cement does not peel
off or break away, and assumes an extreme
degree of hardness after being heated.
The stove must be cold when the applica-
ton is made. The same substance may be
used in setting in the plates of a stove or
in fitting stove pipes, serving to render
the joints perfectly tight.

COmpare YOur CrOps.

An Ohio farmer who has visited our Sec
ton and proposes making it his home
some time, writes the following about his
crops and wants to draw out our farmers.
Let us hear from the CHRONICLE readers
on such subjects.
The writer has just finished husking a
field of 81 acres, which yielded 500 bushels;
and is now digging a patch of potatoes,
containing 80 rods, that will yield 12O
bushels. How do these figures compare
with East Tennessee figures? Let some OF
the farmers start in on this line and show
up their developments of Southern soil.

WASHING WOoLEN BED CLOTHING
1t is said by some, wash in warm water :;
by others in cold water. We know that
warm water will cause shrinking \
large, fine rose blanket washed at three
different times, shortened six to seven
inches each washing. In the centre it
pulled up and made a shapeless thing. We
were told to wash in warm water and
rinse in water of the same temperature.
II was done, and with perfect success. The
blanket is even longer and more even.
The shrinking seems to take place on the
sudden change of the temperature from
warm water to cold. The gradual cooling
and drying afterwards does not seem to
affect it any so the slow change in the
temperature of frozen fruit leaves the fruit
unhurt.

How TO MAKE TEA PRoPERLY.-The
proper way to make a cup of good tea is a
matter of some importance. The plan
which have practiced for these twelve
up with boiling water, then the tea is put
into the pot, and is allowed to stand for
five minutes before it is used the leaves
gradually absorb the water, anu rs gradu-
ally sink to the bottom the result is that
the tea leaves are not scalded, as they are
when boiling water is poured upon them,
aud you get all the true flavor of the tea.
In truth, much less tea is required in this
way than under the old and common prac-
ice.-JdmeS ClthiH, London.
