AN EXCEPTION.


LAST year when 1t was proposed to ap-
ply the proceeds of the great dress baIi
To erecting u monument 10 the gallant
Custer, a number of Southern leaders
and ex-Confederate officers joined hearth
ly IN the movement. But it remained Tor
prominent Republican to give Al exhioi-
ton of narrow scctionalism and un worthy
appreciation OF great man. Mr.. Joo
Stevenson OF Cincii natl, the political
friend OF President Hayes, declined to
allow the use Of his name in connection
with movement TO pay respect 10 the
memory of Robert L. Lee. Acts speak
louder than words, and if Mr.. Hayes ex-
poets support from the South his warm
TREND. must not dishonor the memory OF
their grest captain.

USEFUL HINTS.

Oatmeal Porridge.-An English
man sends the following recipe to the
Germantown Telegraph: Oatmeal
porridge is especially suitable for chill
dren. It nourishes their bones and
and othertissues, and supplies them in
s'greater degree than most foods with
the much-needed elements of phos-
phorus. The Irish and Scotch make
their porridge with water, and add
cold milk but the most agreeable and
nutritive way is to make 1t entirely
with milk, to use oat meal, and to see
that IL is not too thick. The follow
ing is good recipe: Bring quart
of milk to boiling point in an enamel
lined saucepan, and drop in by degrees
eight ounces of coarse oat meal; stir
I'll it thickens, and then boil for half
an hour. The mixture should not be
too thick, and more milk can be added
according to taste.

Fruit LAVA bill has been present

would be of great benefit to COM

in the silence Of the night.

In the silence OF the night,
While slept, my heart awoke,
And a face long lost from sight,
Like star the darkness broke;
Then felt her love enfold me
In the bliss used 10 kEow,
when her eyes and lips consoled me
With the smile Of long ago.
AS her gaze grew more intense,
All the past was mine once more,
Calling back to soul and sense.
Loves SO long forgotten lore;
Vanished memories cam e thronging.
Warm and sweet as youths first glow
TIL my life dissolved in longing
For the kiss OF long ago.
But sighed and strove in vain.
For ner face grew far away,
And / wakened I'm my pain,
To the cold, unhappy day;
Then rose like one still dreaming,
Weary with a weight Of woe;
Through my heavy eyelids streaming,
Flowed the tears OF long ago.

Dipping Sacks in Water.-An old
Montana farmer and miner told me a
yarn to-day which L will give you for
what 1t is worth. he says that in
that country they dip gunny sacks in
the water in very cool weather (20deg.
below zero) until covered with Ice
air Highland then fill them with
potatoes and carefully close the mouths
of the sacks, and put them in open
wagons, If they do not make the
journey in one day. He says they
they never freeze in that way, being
as though in glass houses.-RurdI
