done pour on buttered pans and mark
off in squares ": III a knife as it cools,
and then it will easily break when cold.
They are very excellent.
SUGARRD POP CoRN.-This delights
all children, and is within the reach of
everyone. One cup sugar (white) ;
half cup water boil till it taffies, then
sprinkle in the pop corn, as much as the
pan will hold. If nicely popped, this
will sugar two quarts of corn. Stir
well, so that it does not stick together
the grains ought to separate. To make
pop corn balls, take the receipt for
mossies," and boil it till it taffies,
then stir in your corn and set it from
the fire, and as it cools work it into balls
with your hands. OF course they are
not like those you buy in the cities, but
for homemade they are excellent.

Useful Recipes.

GOLDEN SALvE.-Two quarts raw lin
seed oil, three pounds good rosin, three
pounds of beeswax. Melt thoroughly
together and turn into tin boxes. This
is the best salve known for burns,
scalds, flesh wounds, old sores, piles,
etc. To make small quantities the
same proportion as above required.
CURE FOR HEADACHE oil, one
once tincture of opium, one ounce, and
tincture of capsium, one ounce, These
tinctures must be made of pure alcohol.
Rub well two or three times on the
head, and take internally from five to
twenty drops, according to the neces-
sity of the ease.
REMEDY FOR CRoUP.-This remedy is
simply alum Take knife or CRATER
and shave or CRATE off In small particles
about tablespoonful of alum, mix it
with about twice the quantity of sugar
or honey or make it palatable, and ad
minister as quickly as possible. The
doses should be separated at intervals
of fifteen minutes, until the phlegm is
cut and cast of. This will give almost
immediate relief. The patient should
ply cloths wet in cold water to the
throat and chest, changing as often as
they get warm.
VINEGAR CANDY.-One cup white
sugar one-half cup vinegar /; boil till
it crisps In cold water. This makes an
excellent candy, and something bene-
fetal also, as it is good for colds. If
the vinegar be very strong, take little
less of it, and some water, but for us
the strength of the vinegar never hurts.
When done pour out on buttered plates,
and either mark off IN squares an inch
or two wide as it cools, or else, when
cool enough to handle, draw it until it
is nice and white; then cut it into
sticks.

Bald Mountain-An Indian Legend,

Richmond ya.) Cor. New York Times.l
The Bald mountain volcano of North
Carolina has been regarded as third
rate hoax here from the publication of
the first sensational rumors in regard to
it. The truth is, doubtless, that this
new sensation is but the revival of an
old tradition, derived from the Indians,
that Bald mountain was once, in very
remote times, a volcano, and hence that
absence of vegetation which has given
it its name.
The Indian legend is to the effect that
certain tribe living at the foot of Bald
mountain was annually afflicted by the
visit of huge bird of prey, that made
his eyrie on the summit of the noun
tain, and that on every visit seized and
carried away with him child of the
tribe. This annual affection had been
undergone for long series of years,
when a great chief and medicine-man
arose, and, just before the time for the
next annual visit of the bird, began to
preach crusade against the common
enemy. He adjured the warriors, as
they were brave men and loving fathers,
no longer to submit to the depredations
of the bird, but to march against him
and destroy him or be destroyed.
Thus aroused, the men of the tribe
swore to follow the chief in the desper-
ate venture, and, placing their squaws
and children in place of safety, they
encircled the base of the mountain and
began the ascent, resolved to kill the
bird at all hazards and at every cost.
The mountain was then clothed III rank
vegetation-mighty forest trees thickly
that made the progress upward very
painful and difficult. But the deter
mined tribe persevered, until, nearing
the top of the mountain, what was their
horror to perceive that it was not mere
ly one tremendous bird they had to en-
counter and destroy, but countless
number of the fierce creatures, cluster
ing in ferocious masses ali over the
higher portions of the mountain.
At this despair overcame them, for
they at once recognized how impossible
it would be for them to overcome and
exterminate SD many of the winged
monsters, and they threw themselves
down upon their faces, expecting the
birds to rush down upon them and de-
stroy them. At this moment their lead
er raised high his voice to the Great
Spirit for their deliverance, and in an
swer to his prayer vivid hghtnings
sprang from every quarter of the cloud
less sky, with sound of thunder, slay-
ing the birds to the last one, irving the
forset trees, and wrapping the whole
mountain-top in flames that soon swept
from it every trace of vegetation. Thus
were the monstrous birds of prey de-
stroyed, the mountain made bald and
the tribe delivered. The anniversary
of the deliverance was perpetually cele-
brated by the tribe, and the tradition l
have just related handed down from one
generation to another.
In this tradition turks the true story,
doubtless, of either the original forma-
ton of the ridge known as the Bald
mountains, or of an eruption which oc-

Street Scenes In Paris.

The street scenes constantly forced
upon our observation in Paris, says a
correspondent, are very amusing to q
foreigner. Men and women, harnessed
by leather straps into capacious hand
carts, transport heavy loads with APP
parent ease. Jackassea, with ears OF
such fabulous length, are driven IN
small herds from door to door, where
they are MIXED, and the product served
to invalid customers. The prevalence
of wooden shoes, worn by the humber
classes, creates perfect din and clatter
upon the sidewalks and roadways, while
these pedal attachments bear q goodly
proportion,in size and form to Swamp
scott fishing skiff. The uncovered
heads of men, women and children OF
the working classes, except, perhaps,
linen cap upon the more pretentious
middle aged woman, is a marked fea-
ture. The wonderful harness upon the
common horses, heavy beyond all rea-
son, with collars partly of wood. and OF
such enormous size as to overshadow
the animal itself, are remarkable to one
who has an eye for the eternal fitness OF
things. The marvellous burdens borne
by men and women upon their heads is
also q constant source of establishment.
Then there is the army of chi6onnicrs
who perambulate the street cutters in
the morning, and who again make their
appearance, armed with lanterns, at
night, to ply their humble calling. Add
also the amusing cries of itiLerant trades
men, prepared TO serve you In various
domestic matters, and all forms piano.

COMPOSING Misunderstanding a good
deal about composing manure in your
most valuable paper, thought / would
give my method of doing thls also how
to prevent the washing of the manure
heap by the caves of the barn. | do not
understand how they have their barns con-
structed so as to have the manure heaps un-
der the caves; but here we have the floors
running crosswiSe os the barn-thus the sta
bles are thrown to the end or ends of the
barn, with window to throw out the ma
nure, thus preventing the caves from pouring
on the manure heap. Now when the cattle
are bedded with coarse straw, find it g1eat
economy to mix the horse manure i'm with
that of the cattle. This is best done by hay-
ing the horses in the same stable, as their
manure can then be thrown out of the same
window; or if that is inconvenient, the
horse mannre can be hauled to that of the
cattle.
Every one knows that horse manure Is very
apt to heat, while that of the cattle is often
frozen almost to the bottom of the pile, thu
making it very troublesome to haul in thu
spring. There is much time lost in cutting
the manure at least have found it so. Now
If the cattle manure is mixed with the horse
manure they both heat together; the
long straw will be all rotted, the manure will
be of a good quality and in good condition
tor aay use, even if it should be wanted for
top-dressing. l only mixed the manure of
ode horse with that of seven head of cattle.
Before this, l have had to cut my manure as
late as the middle of May, while this winter
could haul and use the fork at any time the
heap would be always steaming.- Country

The Trne Story About RieI.

The Rochester Democrat and Chr onicle
asks and comments as follows:
Will the telegraph or the Canada newspapers
be good enongh to tell us what has become of
Louis Riel? Reports regarding the man have
resembled continued story in some respects
for a long time back. We have been. told that
the Orangemen were looking for him and
then no further intelligence for week. 1t
has been said he would make his appearance AZ
a specified time and then no further informa-
tion until long after the time had gone by: ~, Ev-
ery dispatch has left him in labyrinth OF DIM
culties, and the interval between dispatches
have usually lasted week. Wnere, we re-
peat, is Louis Riei?
Our contemporary is endowed with more
than ordinary share of Yankee shrewdness,
but we don't wonder that the case of Louis
Riel has puzzled it. We shall endeavor to eX-
plain. When Mr.. Mackenzie became prime
minister, short time ago, it was known to
the whole country that one OF the ''panks"
of his platform was that Louis Riel should
be hanged. In fact, when provincial treasur-
er, short time before, he offered reward of
s., 900 for Rie's arrest. Now, the determine
tion of our new prime minister to have Riel
hanged made extra caution necessary on the
part of that fugitive. He had hitherto been
skulking in out of the way places in the
western prairies, but it is clear from his con-
duct that such places did not afford him the
security that was necessary to his peace OF
mind. For the purpose of greater conceal
ment he came to Ottawa and entered the par
lirment buildings there, but knowing tne
| firm determination OF the prime minister 70
have him hanged, he cunningly entered oy
different door from that used by Mr.. Macken. s1
zie. and thus eluded the vigilance oil that
guardian OF justice and of evil doers' IL rs IS

that Mr. Mackenze's Office door was closed

| but rumor and speculation for what follows
| On Monday, the, 30th of March last, Lou
Riel and Prime Minister Mackenzie were il
the same building together. Since that tim
the public has had no authentic news of RieP
whereabouts. 1t would be well for our Roch
ester contemporary, however, not to rush t
hasty conclusions. The building % whic
Riel took refuge is large one. with quite
