Indianapolis Grain ana Flour Market.
CoRN-There was light business transacted
IN the market to-day. Corn was lower TO sell,
but holders would not concede the decline es-
tablished in other markets, and owing to the
very light demand buyers were indifferent
about taxing hold even at a concession. Prices
were too high for shipment, and the only in
quiry was for local use; the offerings, conse-
quently, were very light and no sales reported.
Futures were quiet and nominal.

corn at this point for the first week of June,
1876 and 1877:

EDITOR STAR: As there are frequent
Inquiries made abont the public schools.
and why they are not In OPP rasion,
take occasion to say to all inter cd
that the county school tax collected 70,
the last fiscal year has or will be nearly
or quite exhausted in paying up the old
outstanding school warrants. TIE
amonnt received from the State ness
than one Thousand doIlars is INSULT
cient to establish schools to continue
any length of time. In viev of these
facts have thought it expedient no. to
establish any schools until fall. when
funds will have accumulated in the
treasury, and schools be made general
and teachers receive the cash for their
services. I hope all will concur with
me in the opinion that it is decidedly
the best policy not to put the county
further in debt but to pay the money

THE CENTENNIAL LIAR.

Old Mrs Robinson who had been to the
centennial, struck in on Pettingill last
week with talk about that exhibition OF
national prosperity. She told him all
about what she had seen. and then what
each one of her party had seen. After
asking about the butter woman and hun.
dred wonderful things that Pettingill had
to say he didn't see, the old lady asked
with much interest:
well what did you see?"
Il saw" said Mr. Pettingill, looking at
her intently." 81 saw an ice-cream house
life size, goloping around the track
"Oh, Mr.. Pettingill,'' said the old lady
"Yes, madam. you may well say oh.
1t was wonderful that you didn't see it.
but they took it back to freeze it hard
every FIVE minutes, so you have missed
it"
'Oh. Mr.. Pettengillr' ~
Yes, madam, and | saw the lard eagle
OF which you have spoken, and heard it
scream-a wild scream of agony like a
bird that had been talked to death about
the centennial. AS | left the grounds.
Friday evening. it scared up and flew off
TO Cincinnati"
"Ob, Mr.. Pettingill :"
Yes, madam, and ! saw the carriage
George Washington rode in and three
queens and a jack that he showed under
the seat when be sat outside of the church
playing draw poker, and Mrs. Washing
ton lighted in on him earlier than he ex-
pected from short sermon, and | saw
u handful of his hair that Mrs. W. took
out that identical Sabbath morning"
"Oh-h-h, Mr.. Pettipgill!'
Yes. madam and | saw the quilt
worked by Queen Victoria and the Prin-
cess Beatrice, and all the other princesses
and counted the nineteen billion, four
hundred and sixtyfive stitches in it while
/ was standing there
''Oh, Mr.. Pettingill!'
Yes. madam, and / saw the silk making
machine, where you put the silk worm at
one end and it comes out at the other a
full-blown silk dress ready made, a live
humming bird in the back"
''Oh, Mr.. Pettingill, wait till | go aud
call Emily to come in and hear all about
it," and the old lady hurried out.
IL won't be here when she comes back,
said Mr.. Pettingill, taking up his hat in q
hurry, land SO she may not hear all about

SALAD.

In The preparation of salads. America is
far behind other countries. No French or
German peasant could live without his
salad. If 1t tuce can not be obtained, a
few cold boiled potatoes or string beans,
with bit of onion or parsley, will do just
as well. Hundreds OF bits and ends,
which are thrown away by an American
housewife, could be compounded into
delicious salad with suitable dressing
In our cities the art of salad making is
rapidly advancing. and nearly every
housewife prides herself upon the compo-
sition OF creamy mayonnaise but in the
country, where lettuce and hundreds of
salad vegetables and grasses grow in per-
feclion. the art of salad-makng is almost
unknown. Many recipes for salads OF
fish, meat, and greens have come down
to us in Roman records, showing that the
people OF Olden time were not behind the
present day in their attention to that appe-
tizing addition to meal. 1t is almost
impossible 10 give exact directions for the
mixing of savory salad. This is some
thing which should never be left TO the
hands OF an ordinary cook, Tor no dish re-
quIres SO much delicacy of preparation.
Every cultivated man or woman should
understand this subtle mystery. The
salad is the aesthetic dish of the meal, the
reireshment and recreation after the more
solid plates which have satisfied the appe-
tite. and 1t should be direct offering from
the hostess TO the delicate palate of her
guests. II the salad is delicious, let no
one lear Tor the rest OF the dinner, for
that Is a direct index to the whole char.
