4 Miracle.

It would seem from the circumstances
we are about to relate that the age of
miracles Is not yet over, but that cures
are yet affected through Divine agency
as they were in ancient times. A young
married lady living few miles from this
town named Mrs. Winnie Case formerly
Miss Sharpe) has been reported as almost
gone with consumption. Everything
that the best medical skill could devise
has been resorted to, but in vain. FL
nally, when all hope had fed, when she
and all those around her had given
up in despair, and there seemed to be but a
very few weeks of life remaining at the
most, a distant relative, an aged and de-
vOut man OF sixty-four years, the most
of whose life had been spent in religious
work, came here on a visit, and while at
the house engaged in earnest prayer with
Mrs. Case, laying his hands upon her
head and praying for her recovery.
Strange as it may seem to the skeptical,
her recovery commenced Immediately,
and she is now a we'll woman. She was
in our office yesterday, and personally
gave every evidence of complete recov-
cry. Her face has resumed it's healthy
appearance; she is able to do a hard days
work without fatigue, and her step is as
elastic and vigorous and her lungs ap-
parently as sound as when she was in
perfect health. 1t is certainly remark
able case. She is earnest in her thanks
giving for her recovery, and gives all
credit to the Lord for it.-Spriag VqlLey

Goats for MILK,

In many hilly portions of Europe goats
are kept to a considerable extent for
milk, and in some sections the milk is
largely manufactured into cheese. The
Toronto Globe says there seems to be set
ting in fashion to keep goots for their
milk in that section, and comments upon
it after this humorous style: Why not?
These sweet-scented animals have de-
cided advantage over the COW kind.
They are better foragers, and cost little
or nothing to keep. An ordinary garden
fence is nothing to an enterprisiDg men,
Der of the Capra family, and they are not
at all particular in their choice of tender
plants. When young herbs or early let
tuce fail, there are many varieties of
flowers and garden plants that serve for a
meal and when shut off from this deli
cate diet, clean-washed Sunday shirt
can be disposed of with considerable
relish. And then their literary appetites
are amazing. They will discuss the merits
of the largest morning newspaper in two
minutes, by Shrewsbury clock, and di-
gest it too, for that matter. They are also
remarkably playful, and take especial
delight in butting the children for
pastime. But their browning glory is the
delicious OdOr they exhale. Lubin's
choicest extracts are nothing to it, for
when goat is within forty yards of the
house one faEcies himself wandering in
the groves of Araby. By all means, cul-
tivate the goat.

A Turkish SpirituaIist.

Teofk Pasha, the Turkish general who
is now in this country, experimenting
the manufacture of arms for the Turkish
government, writes to The Providence
Journal to say that he has seen spirituel
manifestations in which Mr.. Charles H.
Foster was the medium, aud that in the
course of his observations the following
facts occurred: AS is well known, my
native language is Turkish or Omault,
the alphabet of which is largely borrowed
from the Arabic. I am an utter stranger
to Mr.. Foster, never having seen or even
heard of him till this morning, and I
know he cannot have known me or about
my antecedents. In nv own language /
proposed to this gentleman certain ques-
tiOns, with names on sli ps OF paper, which
were carefully rolled up 50 as not to be
seen or read by him, even were he able to
read Turkish, and in an incredibly short
space of time had not only answers to
my questions, but these were written in
Turkish And facts were given me, and
revelations made, which | am free to
confess completely changed my opinion
on this subject. The Turkish character
are exceedingly strange to western ideas
and forms of thought; still with slight
discrepancy, no more than would be
anticipated from a person who, tor the
first time, attempts to form them, l
really read what was communicated. Mr..
Foster observed that with a little prac-
tice he was confident he could readily
write all that was required in my Ian
guage. own that was completely sur
prised, both at the personal information
conveyed, and the manner in which it
was given me, viz: in my native language.

Surrender Of Gen. Lee.

Much mention kas recently been made
of General Lees sword at Appomattox-
whether he rendered it to Grant or not
We only know that General Lee wasn't
so rapid about surrendering. For nearly
two hours on that memorable day officers
and men were uncertain what was to be
done. A certain officer of high rank
being asked his opinion replied that
Gen. Lee was tEen in consultation with
Grant, and that we might be ordered to
surrender or cut our way eUt-he could
not tell. As to the side arms of the of
fcers, whether a compliment paid them
by Grant, or whether required by Gen.
Lee in the surrender, we know that in
coming from that consultation Genera.
Lee made a short address to a large
number of officers and men, and the first
thing he told them, after wishing them a
safe return to their homes, and that their
behavior as citizens might compOrt with
their conduct as soldiers, he told them,
as if it was something, at least, that the
officers would be allowed to retain their
side arms. It was then that ragged
old private rushed up to him, the tears
flowing down his face, and exclaimed ::
GO Good-by, General! God bless you %
General Lee shook his hand. 1t was
then that large body Of men dropped
on the ground, and that's all. Officers
and men wept alike.-ReidsviAe Times.

FARM AND FIRESIDE.
The Eest way to Dry Fruit.

AS the season for drying fruit is now
at hand, we would call the attention of
the merchants throughout the state to
the importance of impressing upon their
customers the necessity of taking more
pains in drying than has heretofore been
customary in this section.
Nearly the entire crop of dried fruit is
shipped out of the state, and it should,
of course, be prepared with a view to the
wants of the marEsS for which it is in
tended. For several years Germany has
taken the bulk of Tennessee apples at
low prices, mostly caused by the bad
manner in which they were handled.
Last year the trade with England in
creased largely, 100000 900 pounds being
taken, against a little over 500,-
900 pounds the year previous. By put
ting it in better shape, the demand can
be largely increased, and better prices
obtained. Their trade requires them to
be well peeled, cored and cut smoothly
into quarters-the larger the better.
Apples should never be dark, therefore
they should be gathered before they are
too ripe. There were many orders sent
to Nashville last season which could not
be filed, on account of parties specially
stating that they wanted none but bright,
coarse quartered apples.
The merchant should sack separately
the different qualities as to color, and cut
peaches also are required to be as bright
as possible; they should be dried in
halves when it can be done, as they are
always worth from one to two cents more
than quarters, alone.
Blackberries should be perfectly ripe,
and care must be taken to dry them
thoroughly. Keep them summed for
some time after drying, or they are apt
to mould. tall parties interested would
bear these facts in mind, the income OF
Tennessee from thiss source, already large,
cottld be increased to an almost incredi-
BILE amount. There is one other point
that has been much neglected-that is
proper sacking. Old sacks should never
be used FOur-bushel bUrlap bags are
the best for apples, and two bushel bur.
lap or corn sacks for peaches. Pack
tightly, and sew neatly and straight with
the seafil.

Farmers Look Out.

The St. Louis Republican thus calls
attention to a swindling game on the part
of lightning-rod men. It would be well
if all persons approached by travelling
agents were to take the advice contained
in the last part of this article; "There
is the EghtniDg-rod trick practiced on
unsuspecting farmers in this state that
unsuspecting farmers, and others who
have not heard of it, would do well to
be on their guard against. The light
ningrOd agent or agents, for they some
times travel in pairs, tell their intended
victim that rod is worth fifty-seven and
a half cents, or some such price, foot ;;
but as an experiment they will put up
one for him exclusively for five dollars,
and wait on him for the money. When
this attractive proposition is accepted,
the victim is made to sign a note or con-
tract which he suppOses is an obligation
to pay So in three or six months, but
which turns out to be a note for $40.
The rod is put up and the agents drive
off. but in a few days afterward another
man comes aleng with the farmers note
for $40, duly signed, and demands pay
ment. OF course the victim is surprised
and bewildered, and Indignantly denies
that he ever signed such a note but
there is the memorable handwriting,
which binds him for the sum claimed.
Our friends in the country would do well
to refuse to sign all contracts offered
them by travelling agents who cannot
give unqUestionable references there il
usually a catch in them which is not dis
covered till the wreng is beyond remedy

A Drug that Cures Bashfulness.

We should haadly expect to find in
the materia medica a cure for bsshful-
ness, saws the Journal of Chemistry, but
coca Tor cuca, as some prefer to call it),
which has lately attracted considerable
attention in professional circles, is said
to answer this purpose, According to
DR.. w. Tanner, whatever NAV have been
said from time to time about the effects
of cuca on the human system, this much
is certain, that it causes timid people,
who are usually i'll at ease in society, and
particularly so before strangers, to ap-
pear to good advantage under these cir
cumstances. In other words, it cures
bashfulness. Its effects on depression Of
spirits, he says, are what might be ex-
pected from a drug whose action is
'energy-giviDg and bashfulness curing. y
He has not seen any corresponding
mental or physical depression attending
its after effects. Its action may be largely
increased by combining it with an aikall.
1t NAV be that the alkali dissOlves some
of its active principles that otherwise
would remain UndissOlved.
