Zina Fay Pierce, the daughter OF a clergyman
in st. Albans, VI, leads q departure in the tenn
peIanos movement. She has formed a society,
and written for 1t a creed. Tho points of her
teaching are that the milder forms of honor
should not be classed with the fiery; that beer
drinking and beer-gardens shoald be counte-
nanced by young ladies; that women should
drink malt liquors instead of tea snd that the
total abstinence pledge is "a stigma upon the
communion, and direct accusation against the
wisdom and morality of our blessed Saviour
himself" Zina is young, eloquent and pretty.
Consequently she has many followers.

A Situation of Extreme Horror.

II once" says celebrated writer,
tread a most horrible story Of some
French travellers who attempted to ex.
plore the vaults of the Egyptian pyra-
mids, which revives some of those terri
flying distractions we sometimes meet
with in disturbed dreams. These per-
SONS had already traversed an extensive
labyrinth OF chambers and passages; they
were on their return, and had arrived at
the most difficult part of ia very long
and winding passage, forming q commu-
nicatiOn between two chambers; its open.
ing narrow and low. The ruggedness of
the floor, sides and roof rendered their
progress slow and laborious, and these
difficulties increased rapidly as they ad.
vanced. The torch with which they had
entered became useless, from the impos-
sibility of holding it upright, as the pas
sage diminished its heig ht. Both its
height and width, at length, however, be-
came so much contracted that the party
were compelled to crawl on their bellies.
Their wanderings in these interminable
passages Qor such, in their fatigue OF
body and mind, they deemed them)
seemed to be endless. Their alarm was
already great, and their patience ex-
hausted, when the headmost of the party
cried out that he could discern the
light at the exit of the passage, at a
considerable distance ahead, but that
he could not advance any far
ther, and in his efforts to press
on, in hopes to surmount the obstacle
without complaining, he had squeezed
himself 50 far into the reduced opening
that he had now no longer sufficient
strength even to recede! The situation Of
the whole party may be imagined; theil
terror was beyond the power of direction
or advice; while the wretched leader
whether from terror or the natural effec
of his situation, swelled so that if it wa
before difficult it was now impossible FOL
him to stir from the spot he thus misera
bly, occupied. One Of the party at this
dreadful and critical moment proposed
in the intense selfishness to which TIT
feeling of vital danger reduces all, as thu
only means Of escape from this horrible
CONFERENCE.-The living grave-to cut il
pieces the wretched being who formed tn,
obstruction, and clear it by dragging thu
dismembered carcass piecemeal past them
He heard this dreadful proposal, and con
tracing himself with agony at the ide,
of this death was reduced by a stron,
muscular spasm to his usual dimensions
and was dragged out, affording room TO
the party to squeeze themselves past owe
his PROSTATE body. Theunhappy creatur
was sutfocated in the effort, and was lef
behind corpse.

COME, AND LET Us REASON TOGETHER.
TO the afflicted in body we offer few
words of plain, practical reasoning. No
matter under what form of sickness you
labor there is one great truth you should
ever keep in mind, viz: All disease origi.
mates in an impure condition of the blood.
Purify that, and the disease must depart,
tor it has nothing to feed on; but you can
not purify the blood by the use of poison.
relief which these afford is temporary and
deceptive, leaving you worse off ut every
interval. The best Blood Purifier ever dis
covered is DIR. WALKERS FAMOUS Vim.
t EeAR b1TTERs, compounded of simple
herbs. No matter how hopeless your case
may seem, try the VINEGAR B1TTERs, and
few draughts will convince you of their
virtue. DR.. Walker, the discoverer of
TINS priceless remedy, had been given
up to die by the physicians and is now
a sound and healthy man from their
use. az

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

"A genuine corn-pone is made thusly;
Corn meal and water mixed to q rather
stiff batter, sailed to taste, and baked we'll
in hot oven.
Corn meal cakes for morning dish:
One quart sour milk; two or three eggs:
q teaspoonful of saleratus, not heaped
two level full of salt Mix thick with
corn meal, and fry after steak, or in lard.
Bone Felon.-The London Lancet
says: GAS soon as the disease is felt, put
directly over the spot a fly blister about
the size Of your thumb nail and let it re-
main for six hours, at the expiration of
which time directly under the surface of
the blister may be seen the felon, which
can instantly be taken out with the point
OF needle or lancet.
Light Corn Bread.-Scald one Quart
white corn meal with one quart hot water:
then add half cup molasses, one teaspoon.
tul salt and one quart cold water. Stir
well, and add one quart meal, half pint
yeast. Let rise in warm place for ten
hours, then stir we'll, put in the skillet
and bake by the fireplace four hours. If
you haven't hop yeast add half pint salt

"A Nice Omelet.-Beat two eggs,

half teaspoonful Of milk NEW milk is
BEST; when we'll stirred and smooth, pour
this over the eggs, and beat them ali well
together for few minutes; a little

Cook as other omelets. In making any
kind of omelet, salt and pepper should
not be added until sent to table; and to
have them perfectly light and tender the
ingredients must be we'll and quickly
beaten with the fork.
Remedy for Sore Throat.-Take one

Busby's Iron Wedding.

Busby, of Trenton, celebrated his iron
wedding" one day last week, and he in
vited about 100 guests to the wedding OF
course each person felt compelled to
bring present of some kind, and each
one did. When Mr.. and Mrs. Smith
came, they handed Busby pair of fat
irons. When Mr.. and Mrs. Jones arrived,
they also had pair of fatirons. All
hands laughed at the coincidence. And
there was even greater merriment when
the Browns arrived with two pairs of fat
irons. But when Mr.. and Mrs Robinson
came in with another pair of hatirons
the laughter became perfectly convulsive.
There was, however, something less
amusing about it when the Thompsons
arrived with four flatirons wrapped in
brown paper. And Busby's face actually
looked grave when the three johnson
girls were ushered into the parlor carry
ing t1atiron apiece. Each one of the
succeeding sixty guests brought tlatirons,
and there was no break in the continuity
until old Mr.. Curry arrived from Phila-
delphia with a cast-iron cowbell. Now
Busby had no earthly use for cowbell,
and, at any other time, he would have
treated such present with scorn. But
now he was actually grateful to Mr. Cur.
~, duu ut WAS aDOuC 10 embrace MIN
when the Walsinghams came in with the
new kind of double-pointed flatirons with
wooden handles. And all the rest of the
guests brought the same articles, except
ing Mr.. Rugby, and he had with him a
patent stand for holding fatirons. Busby
got madden and madden every minute,
and, by the time the company had all ar.
rived, he was nearly insane with rage;
and he went up to bed, leaving his wife to
entertain the guests. In the morning
they counted up the spoils, and found
that they had 213 fatirons, one stand, and
cowbell. And now the Busbys have
cut the Smiths, and Browns, and John
sons, and the rest entirely, for they are
convinced that there was preconcerted
design to play trick upon them. The
fact, however, is, that the hardware store
in the place had an overstock of flatirons
and sold them at an absurdly low figure
and Busby's guests unanimously went fol
the cheapest thing they could find, as PEG.
pie always do on such occasions. Busby
thinks he will not celebrate his "silver
wedding."-Mac Adeler.

A Complicated Matrimonial Affair.

THE philosophy of domestic history in.
wolves many problem in real life that
would be secuted as extravagantly i'm.
practicable in fiction, and the peculiarly
facile genius of social and legal institu-
tions in the United States seems notably
favorable to the development of such
curlosities. Thus, a jury in Portland,
Me-, has recently disagreed, and thereby
necessitated new trial, in case of al
legged mistaken identity, the parties to
which are gentleman who claims an.
other PERSONS wife as his own, and the
lady who firmly and indignantly denies
that she ever even saw the claimant be.
fore. Mrs. Waite, wife of highly-re
spectacle citizen of that name, is the lady
in question, and the claimant of her mar
ital allegiance, who is from another part
OF the country, persists that he once mar
ried and was deserted by her, and brings
letters and witnesses in proof thereof.
she, on the contrary, is sustained by hus-
band, children, old friends and acquaint-
ances in utterly denying all knowledge
OF the man, and, as the disagreement of
the jury shows, the evidence on both
sides is 80 strong as to battle the average
OF human sagacity to decide the astound.
ing problem.
But yet more surprising are the anoma-
lous legal complications of a case in San
Bernardino, CAL, Of which the following
are the chief facts: In 1872, an English.
mai named Oades came thither from
Australia, and purchased farm in Temes-
cal township, representing that he had
experienced bitter domestic bereavement
and pecuniary loss in the land whence he
came and exhibiting great dependency
OF spirit in consequence. In January Of
the following year he wooed and won a
comely and highly.respectab,e widow of
San Bernardino, named Foreland, but
not without having given her the tragic
history of his past life. About six
years before he had been thrifty farmer
in Wellington County, New Zealand, on
the frontiers of the seditious Maori
country. During his absence from home
one day on short journey of business,
while his wife and several children were
alone In the house, band of savage
Maoris devastated the place, and left the
buildings in smoking ruins. Upon his
return he found only heaps of smolder-
ing embers and ashes in the place
where the homestead had stood; and
charred human fragments in the dread
full wreck left him no hope but that
his whole family had been butchered by
the pitiless destroyers. Itseemed, indeed,
barely possible at first that some of the
victims had been carried off captives; but
weeks, months and even years Of pitiful
waiting and inquiring never sustained

Cream Pies.-Make the crust as usual

take one-half cup pulverized sugar and
nearly as much of sifted flour; rub to-
gether dry and spread over the crust. Ut
is quite essential that the flour and sugar
should be we'll mixed before uniting with
the cream, as it prevents all possibility of
lumps) Pour over it one cup of sour
cream and a few spoonfuls of sour or
loppered milk; stir gently into the flour
and sugar. Crate over little nutmeg
and bake in quick oven. It is better to
place an iron CRATE in the oven under the
pies as they are liable to "run over" if
too hot on the bottom. These pies are al
ways in good demand. If sweet cream is
used, no milk should be added. They
should always be eaten fresh, but are
coed cold OF warm.
