Currant Jelly.
There is no jelly that excels that prepared
from currants. if it is rightly made; and yet it
is seldom seen CT a superior quality. because
housekeepers are apt to either add water to the
currant juice, or else they take over-ripe or too
green fruit, while the constituent of the fr1it
which causes the juice to become a jelly is
most abundant when the berries are fairly ripe.
Gather the currants the night before they are
to be used and, after cleansing them from all
leaves and dust, squeeze them through a thin
piece of flannel, without removing their stems.
Let the juice stand on ice over night and the
following morning add to it one pound of loaf
sugar to each pint of juice. Turn it into
preserving kettle, and boil it twenty minutes
after it commences to boil. Pour cold water
into the jelly-tun, blers and then turn il out at
into them. When it has hardened well, cover
it with pieces of white paper dipped into pure
spirit or whisky, and then paste brown paper
all over the tops and sides of the tumblers, and
write the date of the month and year and the
kind of jelly.-N. Y. Times.

George B. GIL, Of this city, returned
home last night after an extended BUSH
ness tTip through Alabama. He says in
that section OF country there are fire
prospects for good crops, and the farm
erS are bG0yant over the situation.
From him we learn the following par
ticulaIs relative to the recent killing Of
Deputy United States MArsnsI Holman
Le8theTWoOd, of Huntsville. Alabama
LeatherwOOd, accompanied by five or
six men, were out looking for wildcat
distilleries in the neighbOrhC0d of Col
linsgille, EtOWah county. The party
separated and went scouting through
the woods. One OF the number after
ward found LeatheTWOOd's horse with
out q rider. This was brought to the
knowledge Of the sheriff o. The county,
who started with posse OF 9 hundred
and fifty citizens to look for the missing
man. Not great way from where his
horse had been found, and close by an
Illicit distillery, they discovered quanti-
ties of blood on the ground. They also
discovered g button off Of Leather
woods vest in from Of the furnace Of
the distillery. This gave rise to the hOr-
rible suspicion that he had been muir
dered and his body burned. A small
creek in the locality was dragged, in
the hope Of finding his remains, but it
was al to no purpose, and the whole
thing is yet enshrOuded in mystery.
Marion Nugent, the owner Of the illiciG
distillery, his son John M, and Berry
o. Word, who worked in it, were arrest
ed, taken to Huntsville by Deputy Mar
shal GiIbraith, and placed in Jail on the
charge Of being the authors Of the crime.

Agricultural Departments ReDort on
the Cotton CrOD.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-The depart-
ment Of agriculture is now receiving the
June returns Of cotton, which will form
the basis OF the estimate Of area Of the
present crop. During May, preliminary
returns were received from three hun
dred ana sixteen cotton counties. In
slHty-thTee counties in Georgia, the area
averaged the same as last year, as also
uId the districts represented in North
Carolina, Florida and Texas. a reduc-
uon OF one per cent. appears in thirty
nine counties in Alabama, OF two per
cent, IN eighteen counties in South Car
ohua, OF three per cent. in thirty-eight
counties IN Arkansas. The average re-
ducGon is eleven per cent. in Louisiana,
and seventeen per cent. in Tennessee,
but there are only twenty counties rep
resented IN each, and the full returns in
June may make different showing.
Ihe season Is reported late in nearly
every instanCe-frOm ten days to two
weeks gener2liy-but in some cases
there are even four weeks. More than
twO-thlrd5 Of the returns make the sea-
son too wet, especially in the time of
planting and terminating. In some dis
tTlcts the past two weeks have been too
dry. The stand is reported good iu a
mejOrity Of the returns from North Car
OIDa5 South Carolina, Florida, Ala
bama, Mississippi and Texas; rather
above the average in Arkansas and Ten
nessee, and scarcely average in Louisiana.
The condition is represented below aver
age in Florida, Tennessee and Arkansas;
slightly below in Georgia, Mississippi,
Louisiana and Texas, and average in
Alabama and in the CsrOlinas.

"What time is it?n asked the mother.
"Half-psst one," said the baoy. There
was great establishment in the household
when the infant spoke up so promptly in
answer to demand for the time Of dav,
for he was only two days old! 1t was in
3 hum BILE residence on Lafayette street,
in Detroit. The family gather ed around,
aud the baby proceeded tOspeak further.
He said that in two years a great religi-
Gus war would come, between the
Catholics and the PrOtestants, and that
the Catholics would be victorious, ,Wiping
their enemies from the face OF the earth,
and avenging the wrongs of centuries.
Then the baby stopped. The inspiration
ceased. His infsntile features lost their
seIaphic expression, and he was "only q
baby" after that. In a few hours he was
dead. There was great excitement in
the neighbOrhOod of Lafayette street,
and much talk was induIged in over the
infants miraculous speech and the
bloody prophecy which it contained.
There is no doubling the story, bees use

THE SUPERCEDEAS.
The Supreme Court Refuses 10 6rant q

ley vs.. j. c. Lesth et al.
The Appeal Brings the Case mp In Fall
Force, and Tim Foley will be Re.
stored to His Position as Cap.
taiH-Etc, Etc.

In Wednesdays APPEAL was men
toned the fact that Judge i. w. Brown
had applied to the supreme court at
jackson to grant q supeTcededs in the in
junction case Of Tim Foley Cs. J. I.
Beath ct a., or 10 restore the injunction
by having the same 30 declared by the
appeal. Ii was the object OF Judge
Brown TO have the injunction restored,
either by the granting Of a sltpeTcedeGs
or the declaration to the effect sought in
the appeal. A telegram from John II.
Freeman, clerk of the supreme court,
was received yesterday by Judge Brown
Informing him that "the sltDerceded8
was refused because the appeal brought
the case up with the injunction in full
force" The clerk also stated that he
had forwarded q copy Of the order by
mail yesterday. 1t will be remembered
that the motion by the defendants to
dissolve the injunction was granted by
Judge Walker, Of the second
chancery court, Of this city.
The Injunction was next dismis sed upon
hearing Of bin and answer, and its effect
thereby made null and void, despite the
appeal which followed by complainant,
who, however, through counsel, had
made defendants not only the fire and
police commissioners OF the city OF
Memphis, but also Mike M'Fsd-
den, chief Of the fire department,
and Captain M'Mahon, who was substi.
tuted by the commissioners in place OF
complainant, as captain Of the fire COM
pany. The petition further prayed that
the above named parties, and all others
acting by or under them, be restrained
from interfering with complainant in
the discharge Of his duties as captain Of
the fire company to which he had been
elected by the general council, and that
he be restored to such position and al
lowed to attend to his duties. Since the
appeal, the commits ioners, for reasons
not made known, discharged said Foley
from the fire department. However,
from the telegram we are Of opinion that
said Foley is restored, temporarily at
least, TO his position as captain Of the
fire company, and will remain there
until the supreme court makes q final
adjudication Of the case. 1t may be
that this action Of the supreme court in-
dicates the Iact that the thew city char
ter OF Memphis" may yet be declared
unconstitutional. Should such be done,
Memphis will be benefited.

CROP REPORTS.
From the Commercial Agency Register
or M'KIIIOp, sPrREue & Co.,
of New York.

NEW YORK, June Sour reports this
week embrace returns from thiTty-four
counties in the State Of Texas; twenty
four counties in Arkansas, and seven
counties In Louisiana.
OF the counties in Texas twenty-fOur
report an increased area under cultiva-
ton, end only two report decrease. In
cotton the average increased area is
about twenty per cent. In grain, about
thirty per cent. In a few counties sweet
potatoes are grown 70 a considerable ex-
tent, and are reported as promising un-
usually well.
Harvesting the wheat crop has COM
menced, and from every point the re-
port is "promise OF an excellent and
large crop" Corn and cotton very gen.
orally need rain, but both promise an
unusually good crop. Moving is going
on, and the result is "all that heart
could desire.n
Some four or five counties report the
cattle trade declining, and agriculture
increasing, while about the same num-
DeT report less interest in the cotton crop
and more in cereals.
The chief products of the counties in
Arkansas are cotton, corn, and wheat.
Three or four counties report grasses,
fruit, tobacco anG potatoes.
The area under cultivation is about the
same as last year in cotton, but largely
increased in corn and wheat. The pros.
poets in all cases are reported excellent.
In fruit unparalleled"
We quote from one report: Wheat
is being estimated all the way from
twenty to forty bushels per acre. Corn
and cotton q good stand and growing.
People are hard run. Are making crop
without going in debt, and real prospects
of business in future better here now
,hRn since the war, if farmers can only
work through TO harvest their crops"
Another states-"In several localities
some complaints have been made about
cut-worms, but from close inquiry am
satisfied that no damage has been
done.n
From Louisiana reports are OF the
same character. Area under cultivation
in cotton hardly equal to last year, but
largely increased in corn. 'FrOm pres
ent appearances the crop Of cotton and
corn will be large, with a larger yield
per acre than for the past five years"

The holders Of the new issue got out
an Injunction last Wednesday to restrain
the comptroller from cAnceling two hup-
dred and seventy thousand dollars Of
coupons pasted away in two books in
that officers safe. The bill prayed that
these coupons be funded according to
law, and thus converted into an interest
bearing fund. 1t is the opinion OF legal
gentlemen that the very fact OF these
coupons passing back into the hands OF
the drawer, as 1t were, was cancella-
ton Of those coupons, though they may
have emanated from the schOol-fund,
and that is just as much the case as IL
an individual had gotten his notes into
his hand and pasted them in book,
without their absolute cancellation by
the stroke Of the pen or the punching OF
holes through them, They assert that
these coupons are entirely beyond the
reach Of the new. issue holders or any
body else. In conversation had with
Governor Porter relative to these cou-
pOns, he said be would see to 1t that the
two hundred and seventy thousand dol
lars indicated should not go out Of the
comptroller's Office. They could not be
obtained through any process, because
they were, in his opinion, beyond its
