before lasts corn which had been in

rats had worked great deal, and the
corn was much Oft mouldy and smelled
bad. When the bulk of my sows began
to farrow, on and after May first, luck
turned against me. In about a week |
lost 100 pigs and two sows. This set
my wits at work, and l turned the re-
mainder of the sows into Il pasture of
prairie grass and rye, and Stacked up on
corn, and fed only that which was sweet
and unhurt. A perceptible improve
ment in case of delivery, strength and
vitality of pigs and general welfare of
mothers and young commenced at once,
and continued, until towards the last of
the month [ never saw sOws do better.
The lesson / draw from this is, that it
won't pay to feed rotten corn to breeding
sows, and it seems to Indicate that the

ECONOMY IN CoOKING.--In nothing
can woman economic to more ad-
vantage than in the matter of cookery,
provided that she is an experienced
cook; for in food more depends upon
the skill of the cook than on anything
else. A prudent and economical house
wife will make soup of bits of cold
meat and the broken bones of a fowl,
favored with an onion, a carrot and a
bunch of parsley, that will be more
savory than many soup of thrice the
cost made by a person who does not
understand how to manage such things.
Fro the toughest part of a fat and
we'll favored piece of beef or m ltton
she will compound toothsome and APP
petizing stews and roasts and potted
meats that will make the eater forget
that there are choicer bits with which
he might be RECALLED Pieces of stale
bread she will dry in an oven before
they mold, and have always on hand
delightful crumbs to enrich soup or to
give flavor to some piece of cheap but
good meat. If "hard times" teach
people to make a little go a long way,
teaching hitherto extravaganza folks
how to economic and be satisfied with
necessities instead of luxuries, this try
ing time would not be without wind,
though i'll it may seem, that blows
good to SOmebOdy.-Jouraul of PfO0ress

The RICHEST SILVER MINES IN THE
WoRLD.-Specime of silver ore from
the 'Cerro de Pasco silver mines, in Peru,
show that the submerged portion of the
mountain is very rich, and rough esti-
mate shows that body of ore will be
exposed, by the new tunnel which Hen
ry Meiggs is to build worth from $780,
100000 to $5OOOOO,OOO These mines
have lain under water for fifty years,
and are scarcely known to the present
generation, though they had been work
ed for ESQ years, when the miners had
to stop on account Of the water. Peru
has now discovered that tunnel can
be built which will drain the mountain
completely, by drawing off the lake
from which the water in the mine comes,
and she is SO much in earnest about it
that the first leads of the now submerged
ore are expected to reach Lima in four
months. 1t is predicted that, within
ten years more silver will be taken out
than from the silver mines in Nevada.

livery RELIGIONS sentiment every act

EVERY religious sentiment, every act
of devotion, which does not produce q
corresponding elevation Of life and prac-
tice-Which does not for instance, insist
upon the most scrupulous honesty, the
most chaste sobriety, the widest charity:
which does not, in short, result in some
Christian grace of act and conducts
worse than useless; is simply pernicious
and depreciating, as ministering to self
deception with its consequent train of
ills, intruding an evil under the name of
good.

The potato bug is still stranger to
the Emerald Isle. The important an
nouncement was made to the British
House Of Commons by Sir M. Hicks
beach, who said that the beetle discov-
cred on the quays in Dublin was of
quite another species, twice the size of
the Colorado devastator. His size did
not save him, however, for he lost his
life at once, III consequence of being
mistaken for member of a more dan
gerous race. The London Spectator
thinks an invasion of Ireland by the
Colorado beetle would be resisted even
by the Fenians.

DEMONSTRATING can be more
absurd than the idea that looking
guilty proves guilty. An honest man
charged with crime is much more likely
to blush at the accusation than the real
offender, who is generally prepared for
the event, and has his face ready
made" The very thought of being
suspected of anything criminal will bring
the blood to an innocent mans cheek
nine times out of ten.

A Grand Haven correspondent
writes: During 1876 there was RATED
through the booms here, about 10000
600 feet of logs. This season there will
be about S0,000,0O0 feet passed through.
Of this amount not more than 10000
900 feet will go to Chicago. The Cutler
& Lavidge Company will ship their
stock of 23,O0O,OOC by rail south and
west. Boyden & Akeley will cut TO-
100000 feet into shingles, and there will
be at least 100000 kept OVER

ECONoMY.-What is economy? In
material things, it is making such use
AID distribution Of various articles as
Shall be of greatest benefit. Practical
economy is an avenue to prosperity; it
promotes industry and frugality, avoids
all waste, helps cultivate a proper order
of distribution, enlarges and strength
ems the benevolent spirit, and produces
an inexpressible satisfaction. Swift says
it is the parent of liberty and ease.
Economy embraces within its bounds all
things and persons that can be reached.

The Northern Pacific Railroad, which
broke the back Of Jay Cooke & Co.,
and FASTENED the financial crisis
under which the country has suffered
ever since, is itself doing well. The
Eastern and Western sections built, 5o5
miles, are in good order, and last year
gave net earnings of 100000. The
country along the line is being rapidly
settled. and lands Of the corporation are
being sold for cash, or exchanged for
bonds of the corporation. With in
creased business the road must be COM
pleted at no very distant day. Boston
and New England have an interest in
this enterprise. The whole road from
Lake Superior to the Pacific, will be
built as soon as Boston can run road
through the Hoosac tunnel to Lake
Superior to meet it; and that is exactly
what Boston needs Ne,rbu1ypoat Herald.

In 1860, railroad engineers were paid
$50 per month and fremen $50. Engi-
neers now receive an average Of $S5 per
month and firemen $40 to $50. In 1860
railway freight averaged at the rate of 60
cents per 100 pounds on grain from Chi
cago to New York. Now the average is
% cents. Labor has Jared quite as we'll
as capital during the flush times, and is
faring better now Labor, in some in
stances, is better off than some men sup
posed to be rich. If there are large num-

thousands who, two years ago, were
millionaires, and are now paupers
and poor men.-NeW York Commercial

The Rev. Father Starr preached a sermon
al the Roman Catholic Cathedral in Balti-
more yesterday, which Is calculated TO at
tract attention Just now, because OF its treat
ment of the subj ct of Catholic burials. The
church, said Father Starr, had enacted GER
tain ordinances with respect TO buriaIs. One
is with reference 70 setting apart consecrated
ground for the burial of Catholic dead and no
others. II has been decreel that there shall
be no rites of the Church performed AT The
funerals of Catholics buried in uncOnsecrated
ground. Priests are no longer at liberty to
perform the solemn ceremonies OF the Ca.ho-
lie Church at nOn-Catholic cemeteries. The
most unpleasant complications hal arisen,
said Father Starr, but Catholics were bound
TO obey The laws OF their Church, AM they
understood very well why the Church should
enac: such a law. II was because she wished
20 make distinction between IN aSe who died
true sons of the Church and those who diel
rebels against her. Taere were some excaD-
lions To these rules. In case where Catho-
lie family had previously been al the ex-
pense of purchasing lot In non Cath )lic
cemetery, il was allowable to have the re-
ligious ceremonies al the residence, bat in
no case could a priest visit the cemetery for
the purpose. Where desire was expressed
on the Fart of relatives, or by the deceased
person, that he or she be buried with their
family or relatives in a non Catholic ceme-
Terry or burial place. the cert monies OF the
Church could be performed at the residence
or church. In closing, the reverend gentle
man took occasion TO reprobate the mon
stroUs extravaganza Of modern funerals as
kpriDglng from most miserable pride.
Some of those, he said, who ind ICED in this
extravas aIce in putting away the moulder-
ing remains OF relatives or friends showed
Nl La for. Ne a.
when thelatter were In life. Justice aud re-
lgion should first be consulted. AMI then
taste, for after all much connected with q
funeral Is simply matter OF taste.

of our best citizens al the meeting called for
tonight at willard hall, under the chair

means for affording immediate employment
OF the poor of the District No food or money
is 10 be given away, but work is to be offered
TO those who are willing and capable. A
ssIabOr Exchange is sought TO be estab-
lished where manufactured articles will be
sold al or near the cost of production, which,
while offering inducements to TIE buyer,
will afford, for the time being, at least, a
living TO the artisan, male or female. The
project has met with success in other cities
in the country, and we see no reason why
paupersm, which is the OffshOOt of indis
eliminate charity - should not be banished
forever from Washington. The gentlemen
no have taken the matter in hand have the
confidence OF the community, their plan is

The Turkish Advance

The late fighting on the river LON, result
ing in the capture by the Turks Of the Rus
sian position at the village OF Earahassan
has been heTaided as an important Ottoman
victory, signifyi log the defeat OF the Russian
left wing, and the cutting of the Russian line
of communication between the Danube and
the Balkans. A review of the situation
there, however. shows that the Turks have
only succeeded in taking a Russian outpost
beyond the line of the LON, and twenty
miles in front OF the real Russian line OF de-
fence. II appears, also, from the fact that
the Turks in driving this small force of Rus
SLAMS on observation duty across the LON
lost three thousand men, by their own ad-
mission. that the Russians contested the
ground with an Obstinacy that does not give
assurance that the Turks will have like sue
cess when they encounter the main body OF
their adversaries and attempt to force their
line OF communications. still, the result of
the fighting of the last week has been gen.
orally favorable TO the Turks, and shows
that the invaders have considerable work
cut out for them in getting full possession of
Bulgaria, and the advance upon CONSTANT
nople beyond the Balkans will appa-
Iently be the task of another campaign
The fIightful loss of life from exposure. and
the formidable expenses Of supply wing armies
winteriDg in Bulgaria would seem TO be in
cenIives TO both cOmbatants 10 end the con-
test this year, but it is probable that the Rus
SLAMS have most TO suffer from a prOtracted
war. There is 10 wood left in the war desc
lated country for the construction of bar
racks or huts, or even for fuel, and the sol.
diers Will have nothing better TO screen
themselves with than mud huts, liable to be
washed away by any storm. In the matter
of provisioning the armies like difficulty
will he found. The crops raised in Bulgaria
this year have already been consumed, and
the Danube will not be available for the
trans portatiOn OF supplies during the winter;
or al best the transit of the river is liable to
continual interruption from floating ice
which carries away the military bridges. 1t
is stated hat the Russians are already tax
ing precautions TO provision themselves for
wintering in Bulgaria, but our own expert
ence in the late war Ofthe rebellion shows the
impracticability of storing supplies AT any
one point sufficient for the uses of severa
great armies, many months in advance.
Whatever may be the result of this war TO
Turkey in Fastening her inevitable collapse
as an European power, ii is certain TO Lea &c
Russia in a state of material exhaustion
that will require many years of recupera-
ton . make her an object OF dread To any
powerful rival nation.
