that his personal cause was hopeless, sur
rendered his vessel to the Independence,
obtaining safe conduct for his followers,
but refusing all guarantees for himself.
With this the revolution terminated, and
one of the most honorable pages of

Fourteen Silk Smugglers Under Arrest
in New York.

Richard Williams, storekeeper of the
steamship Greece, has been arrested
recently, charged with completely in the
silk-smuggling frauds. Williams states
he has brought to this country fourteen
barrels of silk, worth about $50, 900, in
the last few months, for John Scott, spec
ulator, who has fled the city. Fourteen
persons connected with the National
Steamship Line are now under arrest.
Captain Bracket, who unearthed the
smuggling and arrested the smugglers,
was questioned to-day in regard to a
statement that he received formal notice
yesterday of his removal from the Office
Of Special Treasury Agent. He said he
had heard some indefinite rumors of that
character, but had received no official
notice. If his removal was intended, he
had no time to spare at present IN pro
curing political influence to avert it, with
out endangering the interest of the gov
eminent and Of honest merchants.

Landlord-No, faint a very long drive,
nor a very flourishing farm, either, just
now, but it's all going back again. He
didn't know nothing about farming, but
he did know heap about this country
and what was good for it. Why, you'll
see on the farm a stone barn set away
up on the top of hill, that 1t cost Mr.
Greeley $4,000 to build. It's mighty
small load that yoke OF oxen would
be able to haul up to it. l can't imagine
what on earth he built it for. There
never was a chance to raise crops enough
on the whole farm to half fill it. But
he spent great deal of money here,
and everybody liked him. They all
speak well of MIR. Greeley, from the
highest to the lowest, and it wouldn't be
healthy for any man to say anything
against him in this neighborhOod.
By this time the horse was ready, and
the reporter started for drive through
the Greeley farm, The pine grove plant
ed by Horace Greeley, and beneath the
shade of which was held the famous rat
iflcaton meeting and barbecue to indorse
Greeley's nomination for the presidency
looks about as it did then. But in most
other respects there is great change,
The house in the woods was destroyed
by fire about year ago, and all that re
mains of it is the stone foundation and a
part of the chimney, surrounded by
charred pines, naples, and oaks, and
growing underbrush. The orchards show.
ed the lack of the husbandmans care
the garden spot was overgown with weeds
and wild flowers, the fence around the
garden was gone, and only a few stunteo
crlrrant bushes gave evidence that once
there was on that spot a cultivated ano
fourishing garden. The stone barn OF
the hill was surrounded by about two
acres of broken ground, innocent, how
ever, of any crop. A few contented
looking hens and chickens, under th'
charge of a single rooster, were scratch
ING in the barn-yard, and solitary GOV
with crumpled horns looked over an ad

with its mournful lowing. But the CRANE

Under the care of Col. Smith, who ha
taken up his residence on the farm, II
doubt order will soon be restored.

Sentiment.

Harsh words and harsh require
ments have many a time aienated q
child's feelings and crushed out all love
of home.
An honest reputation is within the
reach of all men; they obtain it by So
cial virtues and by doing their duty.
This kind of reputation, it is true, is
neither brilliant nor startling, but it is
often the most useful for happiness.
The love of display which results
in vulgar ostentation is the result of
selfshness, of a desire to excite the en-
w of others rather than the wish to
share benefits with them-an effort to
appear great without striving to be
great in reality.
1t is not possible to be regarded
with tenderness but by few. The mer-
it which gives greatness and renoWn
diffuses its influences to wide compass,
but acts weakly on every single breast;
it is placed at distance from common
spectators, and shines like one of the
remote stars, of which the light reaches
us, but not the heat.
If we pity the good and weak man
who suffers undeseryedly, let us deal
very gently with him whom misery ex-
torts not only tears but shame-Iet us
think humbly and charitably Of the
human nature that suffers so sadly and
falls SO low. Whose turn may it be to-
morrow? What weak heart, confident
before trial, may not succumb under
temptation invincible?
Life bears us on like the stream of
mighty river. Our boat glides down
the narrow channel-through the play
full murmuring of the little brook, and
the winding of its grassy borders. The
trees shed their blossoms over our
young heads; the flowers on the brink
seem to offer themselves to our young
hands; we are happy in hope, and
grasp eagerly at the beauties around
us-but the stream hurries on, and still
our hands are empty. Our course in
youth and manhood is along a wilder
flood, amid objects more striking and
magnificent. We are animated at the
moving pictures of enjoyment and IN
dustry passing us; we are excited at
some short-ived disappointment. The
stream bears us on, and our joys and
griefs are alike left behind us. We
may be shipwrecked, we cannot be de-
layed; whether rough Or smooth, the
the river hastens to its home, till the
roar of the ocean is in our ears, and
the tossing of the waves is beneath our
feet, and the land lessons from our
eyes, and the floods are lifted around
us, and we take our leave of earth and
its inhabitants, until of our further voy-
age there is no witness save the Infinite
and Eternal

A Fortunate Escape.
On the river bank near Albina

On the river bank near Albina, Ore
gon, lives lumberman Carrico, and
above his home towers. a precipitous
bluff. Logs are hauled up the river
through a shute which opens not far
from the house. On the last Saturday
in April large log which had been roll
ed into the mouth Of the shute, got a
false start, and overlapping the trough
went bowling bown the bluff in the di-
rection of the house. The lumberman
shouted to his wife and child to run for
their lives, but the warning come too
late. The huge log struck one side of
the house with tremendous force and
crushed its way clean through. The
lumberman's wife was sitting in the
room, and her baby was lying in era
die and playing with doll. The log
struck in the cradle, knocking it into
splinters, and tossing it several yards.
The lumbermen rushed into the house,
and 10! the mother was scared and the
baby whimpering, but neither of them
was hurt. The doll, however, was fatal
ly injured. aa

Rules For Making Good Bread.

With good flour, a good oven, and a
good sensible, interested cook, we can
be pretty sure Of good, wholesome
bread Yeast bread is considered the
standard bread, and is, perhaps, more
generally found on every table than
any other kind. Hence it is important
to know how to make good, wholesome
yeast bread. Good flour is the first in
dispensable, then good, lively yeast,
either yeast cakes Or bottled, the former
is preferable in all respects. Then, of
course, there must be the proper mater
ials to work with. A breakdown or
pan-the pan is easiest kept clean-a
stone or earthen jar for setting the
sponge; a sieve-four should always be
sifted before making bread of any kind;
first, to be sure that it is perfectly clean,
secondly, sitting enlivens and aerates
the flour, and makes both mixing and
rising easier and quicker; clean white
cloth to cover the dough, and wooden
blanket to keep the dough of even tenn
perature while rising; baking pans, deep
and shallow, a large, strong spoon for
stirring, and little melted suet
or fresh butter for oiling the pans;
never use poor butter. If you
want shortening rich milk or
cream scalded and cooled will answer
the purpose and be most wholesome
But thorough kneading is better still,
and should always be done effectually.
Water, milk Or butter-milk may be
poured boiling hot on a quart or two
Of the flour, stirring well, and cooling
to moderate temperature before adding
the yeast-this makes the sponge. Scald-
ed flour always makes little darker
bread, unless you use buttermilk, which
makes very rich, creamy, white bread.
Yeast is fermented flour or meal
the first stages of decomposition or de-
cay. Understanding this, every baker
will comprehend the necessity of regu-
lating the extent of fermentation with
the greatest care; for sponge or bread
fermented Or raised to long, is decom-
posing, spelling actually rotting! This
is the language of an experienced Eng
fish baker to us only a few days ago,
during talk about the delicate, foamy
loaves ''yeasted to DEATH" which SO
Many families are eating and calling the
"staff Of life" quite discarding the firm,
sweet, substantial bread which our
mothers and grandmothers kneaded
with their own skilled hands. Bread
making should stand at the head of
domestic accomplishments, since the
health and happiness of the family de-
ponds intellectually upon good bread j;
there comes a time In every true wo-
mans experience when she is glad she
can make nice sweet loaves, free from
soda, alum and other injurious ingredi-
ents, or an earnest regret that she neg
lected, or was so unfortunate as not to
have been taught, what are the requi-
sites ofgood bread-making.

stern old Admiral meant what he said
the Pensacola would Immediately batter
the town down about Jlminez's ears.
Cannon instantly effected what protests
had failed to achieve. Jiminez became
very affable and tractable. He guaran-
teed the Consul's immediate uncondi-
tional release and the settlement of
Kastan's claims. The stars and stripes
were flung to the breeze, and the Mexi-
can guns roared a salute and another to
the Consul. The Pensacola courteollsly
responded with salute. 1t was agreed
by the Admirars stipulation that Kas-
tan should appoint commissioner to
act with the Senator, and the affair was
settled The rest of the story il famil-

letter from the Secretary of State com
