Of dry yeast gives this recipe:
Take quantity of Indian meal Scald it
with strong hop water until it has the con-
sstency of mush or hasty pudding. Then put
in the "rising' or BARN which has been pre-

meal. Stir in with it also little soaked yeast
Set the mixture to rise and stir down twice
Thicker with meal and let rise again. When

the success of the dry yeast If the meal be
put in to thicken and then the mess be put out

John 3. Cough related the follow
ing pathetic episode in a lecture at st
Louis recently
A story was told of street boy in
London who had both legs broken by
dray passing over them. He was
laid away in one of the hospitals to
die, and another little creature of the
same class was laid near by, picked
ND with famine fever, The latter was
allowed to lie down by the side of the
little crushed boy. He crept up to
him and said:
Bobby, did you ever hear about
Jesus p
No, | never heard of him.
Bobby, ! went TO mission school
once, and they told us that Jesus
would take you to heaven when you
died, and you'd never have hunger
any more, and no more pain, if you
axed him.
Il couldn't ask such great big
gentleman as he is to do anything for
me-
But he'll do all that if you ak
him.
How can | ak him if | don't know
where he lives, and how could | get
there when both my legs are broke?
Bobby, they told me at mission
school as how Jesus passes by Teach
er says as how he goes around How
do you know but what he might
come around to this very hospital this
very night? You'd know him if you
was to see him.
But / can't keep my eyes open.
Ny legs feel so awful bad. Doctor
says I'll die
Bobby, hold up your hand, and
he'll know what you want when he
passes by
They got up the hand. 1t dropped.
Tried again. 1t slowly fell back.
Three times he got up the little hand,
only to let it fall. Bursting into
tears, he said:
q give ii ap.'
Bobby, lend me your hand put
your elbow on my piller; | can do
without it.
So one hand was propped up. And
when they came in the morning the
boy lay dead, his hand still pr0pped
up for Jesus. You may search the
world and you cannot find grander
illustration of simple trust than that
of the little boy who had been to
mission school but once.

sert that the organ of the party in this county
is in the ring. The Repub-
licans are welded to their idols and they will
no doubt indorse the ring in anything they do,
for the reason the HERARD does it, which says
good deal for the HERALD We doubt wheth-
er there is another county in the State as little
subject to the manipulation of rings or cliques
as Grant County. And yet there seems to be
an unexpressed understanding that only cons
petent, economical and trustworthy men shall
hold Office in Grant County. The HERALD
will ever be pleased to encourage that under
standing and it would be worth while for the
Courier's correspondent to commend the policy
to the people of Crawford to teach them how
to have better county management and less
burdensome taxes
On Monday last couple of prospeetors
discovered on the farm of James Anderson in
Harrison township what promises to be a big
lead. George Munger and Charley Basnett
are the fortunate proprieters. The lead is
situated one half mile east of the old Crabtree
diggings which not many years ago yielded
$50, 900 worth of the shining ore. The min
eral was struck at depth of 40 feet or an
east and west opening, and on Tuesday the
parties raised it at the rate of 900 pounds
per hour. We know of none upon whomfor-
tune could better bestow its faYors and hope
there may be millions for them.

particulars about the Charlie Ross sensation,
of which we give full account copied from
the McGregor Times. Our correspondent says
also to use his own language, "The temper
ance folks are having good times 10 Wyalu-
sing. They have added about twenty to the
lodge in the last few weeks and with the rest
have got three hard cases-uncle Robert Glen,
Bill Bradt and old J. A. Hartford, who goes
around singing
Come all ye old friends of the bottle,
Aud bid it a final adieu;
And take for the bottle cup
A cup of cold water or two
We have travelled like brothers together
And like brothers got blue"
That was very hateful farmer. We
mean the one who put pepper on his hay
when he came to town. 1t was fun for the
boys to see those two cows throw up their
heads and tails, and run first one way and
then another, stopping short at each turn as
if their tails were tied together, and then, how
they'd whirl around and scrape the ground
and below and cape and rub their noses was
enough to make one think they had the n.y.
drophobia But it was cruel. The farmer
said he had been to town twice the week be-
fore with box full of nice hay and half
bushel Of corn to feed his horses, and when he
went to feed there was MT bit left. He said
he thought town people condimented their
victuals more than country folks and he
thought to spice the hay would make it more
suitable for town cows.

A Wooden Watch.

From the Knoxville tTsnn.) G hronieie.
We were shown yesterday by en-
gineer Matt Franklin,a wooden watch
made by Victor Doriot, of Bristol.
The case is made of brier-root, and
the inside works, all except three OF
the wheels and the springs (Which are
metal are of lockwood, while the face
is made from a piece of the shoulder
blade of COW, which was run over
by train and killed some time ago.
1t is an open-faced watch with a glass
crystal, and is an elegant piece OF
workmanship, displaying wonderful
talent in the maker. 1t does not weigh
more than an ounce. Matt says he
has carried the watch day or two,
and it keeps as good time as any
watch he ever carried.

Breathing MIasma without Inj ury

There is no exaggeratlon in the statement that
thousands of persons residing from years end to
another in fever and ague regions on this Continent
and elsewhere, breathe air more or less mpregnated
with miasma, without mourning the disease, simply
and only because they in the habit of using Hos
frequently happened and the fact has been amply
ttested by the parties themselves, that persons
rounded all sides by neghbors suffering the tor
loved absolute immunity from It. thanks to the pro-
lection afforded by the Btters Nor is that standard
anti-febre cordial less efcacious in remedyipg than
in preventing chs and fever, bilious remittents, and
disorders of kindred type. Taken between the par
oxysms, it speedily mitgates their violence, and
eventually prevents their recurrence. These facts
convincingly established by evidence, appeal with
peculiar force to travellers and soioIrners in maar
Gus districts.

A MEMORY.
PROLOGUE.

Good Geneyieve, do let me rhyme?
A pleasant hour has passed away
While dreaming of that pleasant time
In Indian summer, one fair day,
When we we're off to watch for squirrels
And look for trout, and chase them all
The picture in my mind unfurls
Which, i'll may, will recall.
As try to sport of that blithe time
might as we'll tear let 'scape;
Its memory is golden chime
And rings scene OF sombre shape,
And yet i. cheers, as juice of grape.
