The American Roman Catholic pill grims, aristOcratic, devout and jolly, have arrived at Rome, been charminglY re- ceived by the Pope, to whom they presen- ted $100, ,0O0 in money, besides cOffer of gold from the American mines. No won- der Pic None was glad to sec them, and gave them his most amiable benedictions. The telegrams state that the pilgrims as sured Cardinal Barromeo that, on their return to this country, they should organ 1ze regular series of pilgrimages. In proportion as the Papacy is conscious of losing it's hold upon the European ma tions, IS the desperate eagerness with which it grasps after control in America. But sublime assurance and determination and wariness of outlook, and sagacioas direction of forces that places men where they can do most good, are not all on one side. Protestantism is fully as ready and aggressive as Romanism. If we arc des- tined to feel the hand of Rome in this country, there are other countries which have long suffered from the blighting in- fuences of Romish superstitions, popu- lar ignorance and mental enslavement, fostered by that system, which arc destln- ed soon to hear the voice of the unperver- ted Gospel. Mexico, Spain, Italy, Aus tria, are being opened to the light. Somo of the best of men have been sent out to these places. Providences, often surpris- ingly indicative and unmistakable, have led the way. Not only new and marked opportunities for the work, but some re- markable early encouragements In it, show what is the will of the Lord. The question for the churches to answer is : l Shall the Board be furnished with the money and the choice men with which to push forward into the great work?-Ad- | UG11ce.

An Interesting Railway Decision.

An important case was tried in the Som
erset County Court, New Jersey, recently,
the result of which will be of particular
interest to railroad companies and to
passengers who may meet with accidents.
John Knable, the plaintiff, received in
juries on Dec. 81, 1871, while riding
in the rear car of train on the Councils
vile Railroad, bruised rail having
thrown the Car down an embankment into
the river. 1t was shown to the court that
the repair-master of the division on which
the accident occurred had been notified
of the defective rail- In the instruction to
the jury the Court held that when an acct
dent happens and a passenger is injured,
the presumption is against the carrier,
and that the defendant must remove it by
showing that there was no negligence. On
the question as to what the law requires
in regard to the structure of railroads, the
Court substantially charged as follows
The road must be constructed Of the
best materials in the best known manner.
1t must be safe and sufficient beyond
question, in view of the business to be
done upon it. The ties must be sound
and strong, well laid and we'll fastened.
The road in its structure must
be up to the standard. The ut
most care and vigilance is required of
the company in keeping it in repair. 1t
must be kept in the best condition. It
must not be suffered to be out of repair
for moment longer than the utmost di!a
gence requires. 1t must be always is
good as new, as good as the best. The
railroad company is bound to keep hands
enough and of such quality as to keep the
road in the best order. Not to have the
road up to the standard indicated is neg
ligence. The slightest neglect to keep it
in this condition, if hurt or loss occurs to
any one, will render the company liable.
If injury results from defect in the road
the carrier can relieve himself from re-
possibility only by showing that the de-
feet was one which could not be discov-
cred or cured by any attainable skill, fore
sight or intelligence.
On the question of damage the Court
affirmed the point of counsel to plaintiff
in this regard, which is to the effect that
the plaintiff can only recover such COM
pensation for loss and damage as the evil
,dence clearly proves him to have sus-
tanned, not exceeding $4,000. The jury
rendered a verdict for the plaintiff for

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

Warts may be removed with kerosen
oil. Apply it daily with camel hair
pencil. They will generally disappear in
about two weeks.
Asthma is sometimes cured with a
mixture of two ounces of the best honey
and one ounce of castor-oil Take tea
spoonful night and morning.
Alum water is good for frosted feet.
Bathe with it every night before going to
bed. 1t will generally remove all pain
and soreness in three or four days.
Plain Tea Cake--Two eggs; beat
whites and yolks separately; one cup
sugar; one half cup butter; one cup milk ;
one large teaspoonful baking powder
-four to stiffen. Lemon one teaspoon;
bakein quick oven.
-Isinglass Jelly-Boil one ounce of
isinglass shavings with slice of brown
bread crust and handful of Jamaica
peppers, in one quart of water, until it
is reduced to a pint. Strain into a
mold. A tablespoonful of this jelly
taken in milk is a good tonic for dys-
pepsia.
Pain Killer.-Alcohol, one quart
gum guaiac, one ounce; gum myrrh, one
half ounce; gum camphor, one-half ounce;
pulverized Cayenne pepper, one-half
ounce. Mix. Shake occasionally for ten
days, and filter or let settle for use.
Apply freely to surface pains. Dose, one
teaspoonful for internal pains, and repeat
according to necessities.
Genuine Erasive Soap.-Two pounds
of good CASTLE soap; half pound of
carbonate of potash, dissolved in half
pint of hot water. Cut the soap in thin
slices, boil the soap with the potash until
it is thick enough to mold in cakes; also
add alcohol, half an ounce; camphor, half
an ounce; hartshorn, half an ounce; color
with half an ounce of pulverized char
coal. This is excellent for removing
grease, etc., from clothing.
"A Favorite Sauce for Puddings or
Rolls-Cream six ounces of butter until
light and white as possible; then stir in
gradually the same weight of fnely-pul-
verified white sugar. 1t looks very invit-
ing made up into the shape of little pyr-
amid, thickly strewn with grated nutmeg.
In addition you may use at pleasure
vanilla or any other seasoning you prefer.

How to Make an Orchard.

In commencing to make an orchard
bear in mind that it is not for day or a
year, but for lifetime, and if we make
mistakes it may take years to find them
out and many years more to correct them.
We should, therefore, consider carefully
what we will plant, and where and how
we will plant to bring the best returns
A small orchard well tended is worth
more than large one that is neglected,
and no one should plant more than he can
care for.
Select, if possible, the highest ground
on the farm for your orchard site and have
it naturally or artifcially drained so that
water will never stand about the roots.
The soil should be we'll prepared by a
thorough and deep blowing the fall be-
fore planting.
Having the ground selected and pre-
pared for the orchard, 20 to the nearest
reliable nursery and get the trees fresh
from the ground. If not to 60
to the nursery, make up club with your
neighbOrs, and select the trees or send
your order to some reliable man. If you
cannot find any better way to get your
trees buy of a peddler rather than go
without, though it is much the better way
to buy direct from the man who grows
them.
Do not expose the roots to sun or air,
and as soon as you get them bury them
in moist earth, taking out only as wanted
for planting. Never dig large, deep holes
for water to stand in under the trees, but
have the ground all we'll worked. Throw
out enough earth to give the roots ample
room to set your trees in and fill up care
fully with fine mellow earth, pressing it
firmly about the roots. The planting
should be done when the ground is in
good order for working and not too wet !;
if dry, water when the earth is nearly
filled in, and then fill up with dry earth
to prevent baking.
On good soil, not too light but well
drained, plant two or three inches deeper
than the trees grew in the nursery. If
the soil is tenacious and not we'll drained
plant almost on top and ridge up to them,
leaving dead burrows for drains between
the rows, and raise the earth about the
trees three or four inches, so they will
stand deeper than they grew
In light, sandy, well-drained soil
plant five to six inches deeper than the
trees grew
My experience teaches me that the best
time to plant is in the spring before the
growth starts, but it will do to plant until
the buds are fairly opened.-Ka nsas
Farmer.

A WRONG custom corrected.

LII is quite generally the custom to take
strong liver stimulants for the cure of liver
complaint, and both the mineral and vegetable
Kingdoms have been diligently searched to
procure the most drastic and poisonous purga-
tlYes, In order to produce a powerful effect
upon the liver, and arouse the tagging and en-
feebled organ. This system of treatment is on
the same principle as that of giving a weak
and debilitated man large portions OF brandy
to enable him to do certain amount of work
When the stimulant is withheld, the organ, like
the system, gradually relapses into more
torpid or sluggish and weakened condition
than before. What then is wanted! Medicines,
that, while they cause the bile to flow freely
from the liver, as that organ is toned into ac-
ton, will not overwork and thus debilitate it,
but will, when their use is discontinued, leave
the liver strengthened and healthy.

Mr.. Rafferty,, of Darby, has less faith in
the "Patent Combination Lock" than he
formerly had. He bought one few weeks
ago and placed it upon the front door of
his store. He chuckled as he went to bed
that night, to think how he had check
mated the fraternity of burglars. But in
the morning he forgot the combination
by which the key was to be fixed, and
when he tried to open the lock he couldn't.
He worked at it all that day, and during
the entire week he had locksmiths down
from the city endeavoring to pick the
lock; and meanwhile his business was
entirely suspended and his customers all
went to the rival store over the way.
Finally he got a fence rail, and, leveling
it like a battering-ra ram, he broke the door
to splinters. When he got in he found
that burglars had had one of the back
windows open for four nights, and had
nearly cleaned the place out while he was
agonizing over that lock. There have
been madden men in Darby than Rafferty,,
but very few who have felt so mad all
over, from toe nails to hair, as Rafferty,
Goes now-Mdr Adeler.

Watering Stock.

If animals when in a wild state are
guided by an infallible instinct in regard
to eating and drinking, they lose this
instinct after a few generations of domes-
tication. We are disposed to believe,
however, that innumerable wild horses
and cattle perish from imprudence in this
respect. Certainly our domestic live
stock cannot be trusted to select it's own
hours if we expect to bring it to high
state of perfection. Especially is this true
in regard to drinking cold water in the
winter. 1t is too often the practice to
turn stable-full of cattle out into the
yard on cold morning, and allow them
to crowd by turns to the trough, the weak
being OF course kept away to the last, all
to their direct disadvantage in loss of
refuse to drink the ice-cold water of a
trough early in the morning, and this is
possibly bit of prudence taught it by
that instinct to which we have just, rather
incredulously, referred. The fact is that
animals whose whole systems are in har-
mony with the comparatively warm air OF
the stable are quite unfit to go at once into
the freezing temperature of a winter
morning, and still less in a state to chill
their organs Of digestion anu assimilation
by halt-bucket or so of ice-water. If it
is lmpractiCable to water them in the
stable, the door should be left open for a
while that the animals may be gradually
prepared for the change in temperature.
1t is said that if two mich cows are
watered in the morning, one from the
trough and the other with water from
which the chill has been taken, a differ
ence will very soon be noticed in favor of
the latter.
We notice by the way plan practiced
by the editor of the Working Farmer,
whereby he prevents the ice from form
ing to an inconvenient thickness in his
out-otdoers watering trough. When he
goes to his barn to see that all is safe
for the night, he breaks hole through
the thin ice which has usually formed by
that time, and lowers the water by dipping
out three or four quarts. The whole proc
ess of freezing has then to be repeated,
and in the morning there are two thin
coats of ice which may be readily broken
up, and will generally melt in the course
of few hours. To the inquiring mind it
will at once occur that by having faucet
or movable plug at the bottom of the
trough the ice-breaking and dipping
process may be dispenced with. An un-
broken sheet of ice on top will be more
etfectual check against farther freezing
than sheet with hole in it, though It
may be best to make an opening with the
point of a nail or knife to prevent the ice
from breaking by atmospheric pressure
when the water is removed from below.

PATENT MEDICINES there are
some good patent medicines no intelligent
man dare for moment deny; and pre-
eminent is the great California hero med
icine, VINEGAR BITTERs, discovered by
DR.. j. WALKER, prominent physician of
San Francisco. This medicine, although
called Bitters, is not to be classed among
the vile fancy drinks" recommended and
sold over the bar by rum-venders, but is a
comb 1ation of pure herbalistic extracts,
known to possess sterling medicinal quail
tiles, and is compounded without the use
in any shape of spirits. Its action upon
the internal system is not stimulating to
the extent that alcoholic poison is, but it
at once attacks blood-impurities, and by
removing the original cause destroys the
germs of disease and invites returning
health. Its action upon the stomach and
liver renders it an almost certain specific
in the most stubborn cases of dyspepsia,
and in truth imparts new life and vigor to
the whole system. 1t is one of the best
medicines ever invented 80

1t is gratifying to learn that the saw
ings banks in New York are receiving
largely Increased deposits from persons
OF small means. This looks as if the hard
times had spent their force, and, although
there is doubtless good deal of destitu-
ton, these evidences of frugality and
thrift among the laboring classes are GER
tainly encouraging. 1t will be well if the
experiences of this winter are turned to
account in greater economy and provi-

especial need of them.
