Dear sir-I used the half ton of Soluble Pacific

upon ground where corn was raised last year with E
nure in the hill; it did very finely here. 1t was 8
side by side with the Stockbridge Special Fertilizer
wheat. and gave as heavy growth of straw and
yield was apparently as good. The stocking, howet
where the Guano was put. was far ahead Of that "
the Stockbridge fertilizer was sown, which, wlthE
being furnished at less cost, makes the .Guano
most profitable of the two for the farmer. used sd
1 upon green sward oats with good results; also al
potatoes planted late in the season, which rusted,
the result was all could expect, considering the
favorable season for potatoes. On the whole am v

FRENCH PUDDING,-Grate one pint of
stale bread pour over it one quart fresh
milk, yolks of four eggs, rind of one
lemon and part of the juice, one teacup
of sugar, piece of butter size of an egg.
Mix all we'll, put in pudding-dish and
bake until it looks like custard. Then
set it to cool, after which spread the top
with jelly or preserves. Beat the whites
of the four eggs to stiff froth, adding
the remaining juice of the lemon and
three tablespoonfuls of sugar. Spread
this on top the preserves, then put the
pudding again in the oven, and bake a
light brown.
EXCELLENT RECIPE FOR PASTRY
Four teacups -four, one teacup firm but
ter, one teacup nice lard, one teacup ice
water, one teaspoonful salt. Mix the
lard and butter in the -four with large
fat knife. then add the ice-water. Dc
not touch it with the hand. Take it up
in rough-looking mass. roll it out
quickly,-not too thin. Cut it with a
very sharp knife around the edges of the
patty pans. When intending to bake
lemon buildings or cheese-cakes. let the
pastry bake four or five minutes before
adding batter, as this prevents the pas
try from being heavy at the bottom Ii

THANKSGIVING DAY.

The President has pointed Thurs.
day the 2Sth of this month as a day
Of national thanksgiving. The Gov
errors of all the States vii Of course
name the same day. In the midst Of
hard times the President finds album
dant reasons for gratitude and praise
to God. Exhausted harvests and pro-
ductve mines have enriched the coun.
try. These resources have revived
our industries and are fastening the
day when discori and distress will
give way to confidence energy and as
sure1 rosperity. The dark shadow
of pest,lence has rested on one section
of our coun. ry, but even this heavy
aillction has been tempered to the
suffering communities by the hearty
sympathy and succor which have
flowed to their relief. The whole ma
ton, as is well sail BY the President,
may therefore rejoice in the unity Of
spirit in which our people cheerfully
share one anothers burdens.

- THIEVISlI EXPLOITS.

Robberies are tlcnty enough. We
might fll our columns with them, but
the robbery of the Manhattan Bank
in New York on Wednesday last is
one Of those big things which fairly
takes ones breath to read about
THE bank was entered by thieves
early in the morning They had not
eauch trouble doing their work tor
the bank officers had obligingiy given
the iantor the key Of tie safe, so the
burpl~s soon had him down and
h,ni cuG,l aud the key beca me
theirs. They then went leisnrely to
work and helped themselves to the
contents, which consisted of $3,o00,-
600 in national bonds and about
Sli;2eO in currency. 1t is not a gerry
big fortune for the thieves for the
bonds will not be available to them
in full. But all the police o: New
York has not yet been. abba to find
their present residence. They will
probably socn restore the bonds for
,goal Zee.
In Camlen, N. Y. there is a couple
of odd old bachelors brothers named
BaAtser. They were so odd IN their
habits that they scarcely knew any
BODY, seldom went,out OF their house
and Paving no confidence N Banks
stayed closel, at home and saved
thew money. That is they saved
their money until last Thursday
night. People who live by robblns
like to hear OF such persons as the
Batsers. They keep close eye on
then and notice thei.' odd ways
That night the Bal;sers took walk,
When they returned they were sur
prisel to find the front door unlocked
and "a good deal more stunned as each
one was knocked down and gagged
as he entered. By that time the
thieves were nearly through hunting
up the money which the Bal'sers
would not trust the banks with. 1t
amounted to the neat little sum of
$500 In gold, $500 in silver and
$4,000 in better currency than llat
money. The Ba!tSor thieves have also
great residence some where un'
known to the police 10 tar. 1he

PROPHETIC CONFERENCE.

a conversation was held in the
CITY of New York last week of those
who believe in the pre-millennl'l
coming Of Christ in persona! and WIS,
ible presence. The conference com
prised ministers Of high character and
ability fro,a almost every religious
denomination in the country, who
met, not to speak as having airy au-
thority, but to discuss the great qnes-
ton and express their individual
views. This was done chiefly by the
reading Of essays giving Biblical
proofs and interpretations OF Scrip
ture in favor and answering the OBJ
jections Of those who hold opposite
views. As such their expressions OF
opinion and teiicf will undoubtedly
command wide spread interest and
cause earnest discussion. The subject
has been one Of deep interest but
conflicting opinions ever since the
days Of the Apostles. The conference
continued in session three days. Over
4 hundred ministers and prominent
laymsn were present. A number OF
papers were read by distinguished
clergymen in which the various as
poets Of the subject were deliberately
presented. 1t is significant fact
that Moodey ard all the prominent
evangelists are believers in the pre-
millenial advent. The convention
adopted series Of resolutions declar'
ing in brief that the second coming OF
the Lord Jesus Christ is every where
represented in the Scriptures as i'm
minent' 1t may occur at any mo-
ment, yet the precise day and hour
thereof is unknown to man and
known only to God.
At the same time in Philadelphia
a general congress was held Of the
Unitarians of the country who do not
acknowledge the divinity of Christ
at all, but only regard him as the
highest and purest illustration o,
model of a man that ever lived,
