fireside by the lady; throw in a dash
of tea, about three cups each, and let
them simmer together if in summer
time, place them in a current Of air, as
near the window, and as much out of
sight as you can; stick the lady all
over with flowers, and place them near
the piano; keep string them until the
lady sings.
When you hear the gentleman sigh,
it is a good sign, as, whether winter or
summer, they gre sure 70 DO growing
warm.
Then take them of and put them in
the corner of the room on sofa; leave
them together simmering for the rest
of the evening. Repeat this for three
or four times, taxing care to keep them
as close to each other as ysu .cap.
Great care must be takep about the
degree of heat; if too great they will
explode and fly of ; il too little they
will turn into a jelly, or perhaps an ice.
The best heat Is moderate, regular and
constant.

This beam is so adjusted that the

Is kept filed with grain fed through
A BAMBOO TUBE AS THE HOPPER.
Two Of these mOrtars are arranged
side by side, and are worked by
women. Another, the most improved

GCoRREsroNDENCE OF TIE HERALD.

Yesterday, May 9th, party of gen.
Ilemen, myself among the number,
started early for a days sQiourn in the
Ii San mountains. Our route lay for
ten miles through a farming district,
extending far up into the mountain
gorge. The point visited was "Chien
Fung" (nine peaks mOuntain). The
valleys or gOrges were filled with bam-
boo and pine groves, on either side of
the pure crystal stream that finds its
way down each gorge, leaping over
precipices and rough powders that all
along impede its way. Our path of
ascent was a narrow, winding "cat
stairs" occasionally turning point on
the narrow ledge of projecting rock
over a practically bottomless pit.
Once as l walked on this road about
twenty inches wide, | was staring
down the gorge before me at the
grandly wild scenery, when l set my
foot too close 10 the edges and
SLIPPED OFF THE TRACK;
but I saved myself tumble down into
the valley below by falling quickly
against the upper side, which brought
the center of gravity somewhere be-
tween the center of the road and my
body. This caused laugh at my
expense, but although a sudden tnm'

nified nor desirable within itself, yet
it is preferable to even a more grace

THE Washington correspondent Of the

THE Washington correspondent Of the
Boston Aduertiser says that for more than a
week past determined efforts have been made
to secure from the President an intimation
that he will sign bill remonetizing silver,
which shall contain some of the principal
features of the pending bill, but not all of
them. The amount of consultation that has
been going on concerning this subject is ex.
traordinary, but there is no reason to believe
that up to the present time the advocates of
silver reconciliation have1been able to agree
upon any measure which is satisfactory to the
executive. There are those among the oppon-
.ents of the bill who believe the President
would give his approval to law containing
substantially the provisions of the amend
ment proposed by Mr.. Blaine, and there are
some Senators who have been counted as
favorable to the pending bill who will vote
for the amendment provided that the silver
dollar shall contain APO grains. The effort to
reach an understanding with the President is
not yet abandoned, and will not be, so long as
there is hope that he will yield the points
which are chiefly insisted on by the men who,
in comparison with the extremists, may be
classed as moderate silver men.

Plus TX.


Giovanni Mastai-Ferretti, dead In the
eighty-eighth year Of his age, is one Of the
most notable figures In the long line of the
successors of st. Peter-and this not so much
because of striking personal qualities as be-
cause Of the great events with which his
name is connected. 1t was his fortune not
only to see the pretensions of the Papacy
carried to their extreme point in the promul-
cation of the doctrine of papal infaIlibility,
but as well to see the authority of the Bishop
of Rome reduced from temporal to (perhaps
exalted would be the better word) purely
spiritual sovereignty. The haughtiest wear
er of the triple crown could look forward to
no higher earthly honor than to have his abso-
lutte infallibility in matters OF religious doc.
trine recognized by two hundred millions of
men. The humblest Bishop that ever hid
from persecution in the catacombs of Rome
was scarcely less martyr in the eyes of bis
people than the venerable pontiff who has
just gone to his final account. 1t was the
fate Of Plus TX. to fulfill in his own person
the prediction which has been current among
the faithful from the early days of the Holy
See, that he who should see the years of Peter
should also see the patrimony of Peter pass to
secular hands. 1t was his fortune too to Illus
trate the scriptural text that the low shall be
exalted for the Papacy, deprived though it
be of the possessions it held for eleven hum
dred years, is more powerful now than it has
been at any time since the days Of Luther,
and exercises wider sway than at any for
mer period of its long existence. The church
of Rome is to-day, despite schism and unbe-
lief, the most powerful organization on earth.
Though the outward and visible sign Of that
city of God of which st. Augustine preached
has passed from it, yet it still from the Vat.
ican rules the consciences and shapes the be-
lief of the larger portion of Christendom.
The pontif who has just pass ed to his rest
was one of the mildest and most estimable
men who ever sat ia the chair OF st. Peter.
A devout and conscientious priest, profound
scholar, lenient ruler, and singularly ben
evolent and kind-hearted man, he won the
love of all who knew him and commanded
the veneration of his church not more by hi;
august Office than by his endearing personal
qaslities. Yet it was the misfortune Of his
position and environment that his name is
and ever will be associated with reaction and
absolutism, with the oppression of peoples
and the bondage of intellect. A reign that
is made memorable by that measure Of wis
dom the reform of the religious bodies, is
also distinguished by the PRONUNCIATION of
two theological tenets, the dogmas of the
Immaculate conception and papal infallibilty
which have, more than any others since the
sixteenth century, excited the protest of the
liberal world. These, however, were Incl
dental to his position and his church. The
Catholic Church will be fortunate if it find:
| in his successor so gentle and kindly and
devout man as was Pic Mono.

SECRETARY SHERMAN regards the silver
craze as great national disaster and
predicts that reconciliation will be followed
by the hardest OF hard times, and that the
people, at last seeing their folly will reject
their silver-voting representatives and send
different men to Congress. He says that the
silver agitation has put stop to the funding
of the government bonds into a four per cent
loan, and that the saving Of money by fund.
ing the debt would exceed in popular benefit
