Carving A Core Of Fire.

The steamship Iceland, of Antwerp
Captain Flaherty, arrived at her dock
at Jersey City Thursday morning and
gang of men were at once set to work
discharging her cargo of bagged grain.
A fire was burning between decks and
the owners of the vessel and the con-
signors of the grain made all haste.
The steamer had left port on Tuesday
bound to Antwerp. On Tuesday
evening smoke in the engine-room was
traced to the grain bunkers forward Of
the fire room. Every effort was made
to put out the fire, but as it was impos-
sible Captain Flaherty on Wednesday
morning gave the order to turn about
and made all steam for port. AT the
dock Thursday when the upper layers
Of grain bags had been removed the
fire broke out into flames. This was
extinguished, and doubled gangs OF
men will discharge the cargo until the
vessels is entirely unloaded. At present
it is impossible to ascertain the amount
of loss.

The Art of Butter Making.

Never use your pans for any thing
but milk; wash well in two waters
scald ard wipe well with a clea towel;
never allow your milk to stand over
forty-eight hours; set your milk in a
cupboard or safe with papers pinned
over the wires to prevent the air from
drying the cream, else there will be
white specks in the butter; when you
skim, loosen the cream from the pan
with the finger; what adhears to the
pan will not make butter if scraped off
with the cream; keep the cream jar in
as cool an atmosphere as the milk;
never allow either to freeze. Churn as
often as every fourth day. When the
cream is ready stand near the stove,
turning the churn, and churning to
stir the cream while warming; take out
the butter and place it in cold water,
rinse vel, salt, cover well from air, and
set away; let it stand twenty-four hours
their work over, press the butter while
working, instead Of smoothing, as pull
ling the ladle over it makes the butter
oily. If these directions are observed
with care, you viii be repaid by sweet
yellow butter.

Edison I'm England.

Mr.. Colman, M. p, has so applied
some of Mr.. Edison's newest improve
ments to his private wire between Lon
don and Norwich(a distance OF 11s
miles, that even on day of great cleo
tric disturbance, a telephone conversa-
ton was carried on easily between
London and Norwich, and the accent
and pronunciation of American inter
locutor (who was at the Norwich end)
were easily distinguished in London.
The voice Of both speakers was best
heard when carried on in a rather low
tone. Further, it is stated, that Mr..
Edison has invented an improvement
by which whisper communicated to
the telephone can be heard at a dis.
tance of "a feet from the receiver at
the other end, so that he hopes soon
to make the general conversation of
one room audible in another room hum
dreds of miles away while, OF course
every English club might have a
House-of- Commons room, where one
could sit at ones ease and hear the
whole debate in all its length. If this
should be actually achieved, what will
not the member Of the future endure,

come telephone auditor Of all his
rambling utterances, his grammatical
hlunders and local mistakes (?

Fiat Money in Turkey,


Fiat money" which was issued un-
der the most favorable conditions in
Turkey, is proving to be worthless
expedient. When in 1875 Sultan Mu-
rad set up his printing press, he re-
solved to issue only $13,5oo,ooo in
paper currency, although there were
constitutional restraints in the way, nor
was any part Of the empire at liberty,
like California, to nullify its financial
DEGREES. The Sultan's purpose met
with their respect. War being at hand
his successor set the presses going
again, and according to trustworthy
estimates he had issued by the end of
November, 1877, more than $4,000
900 in " absolute money" While hos
tilities lasted the Ottoman government
managed to exist on this basis, taking
care when foreign debts for war NUM-
tons were to be paid, to have gold at
hand for that purpose. But the old
fashioned laws of trade have now made
themselves heard. Finding themselves
oppressed with taxes and compelled to
take deprecated currency, the bankers
resolved to suspend business. This has
brought Abdul Hamid to his senses.
Fearing bread riots, he has RENTED
the grain tax and appointed commits
sion to adjust the currency. The
commissioners have already proposed
that the paper shall be funded in four
per cent, bonds, the interest on which
is to be paid by direct taxes, raised un-
der the supervision of a bankers syn
dicate. This is, of course, a feeble
remedy. The interest probably never
will be paid; the bonds are never like
ty to be redeemed in anything but pa
per. The national wealth and
materially, Turkey is by no means
poor-is the common basis for each,
but that does not prevent the currency
from utter depreciation, nor the bonds
from being absolutely unsaleable. The
Massachusetts, greenbackers propose to
Danish forever from America the idi-
otic proposition Of making commodi-
ties Of shifting values and articles Of
merchandise like gold and silver, ba-
sis for money" If this :. idiotic pro
posal is ever carried out, the Turkish
merchants will no doubt be glad to ac-
cept our discarded "basis," in view Of
the Sultan's promises based on "na-
tional wealth. ."-M1O York Tribune.

Twice Hanging Herself.

On Thursday afternoon a young
woman with long-Aowing hair was
found in the streets Of New York, sup
posed to be drunk and taken to Church
street station. She said she was Mary
E. Russell, Shoe-ftter. The ser
geant on duty sent her to a cell, and
she hanged herself to a bar in the win
dow with rope made from her skirt.
She was cut down before she was suf-
focated. The doorman reported the
matter to the sergeant, but as no harm
had been done the latter took no no.
tice oft. Mary was left in the cell
alone again. She cut off part Of her
long hair, made rope Of it, joined if
to strips Of her clothing, and, having
tied one end OF it to an iron bar, fixed
an oose around her neck and settled
down to die. This time she came very
near it. When she was discovered
her face was black and she was uncon-
scious. A little attention on the part
of the officers restored her, and she
was sent for treatment to Chambers
Street Hospital, where she begged for
laudanum. She said she had swal-
lowed a large dose during the day.
On the afternoon of the ED instant
she jumped into the East River, but
was rescued by an officer.

Guarding the Grave OF a PhiIadelphia

being that their vigils shall not cease
for two years. To the tombstone will

in case that the men will carry.
This watch must have The key at the
grave inserted into it every half hour,
and W Il be inspected twice a day to
see that it has been carried to the grave
at frequent intervals. Five years ago,
when Mr.. Powers's son Henry died,
father and son now lie side by side),
a similar vigil was kept. One day Mr..
Powers saw one of the watchmen on
the street under the influence Of liquor.
He drove at once to the works, a,

A correspondent asks us why the IL
tie of" Your Excellencies " is used in
the addresses presented to the new
Governor General of Canada and the
Princess Louise, his wife, instead oi
those appropriated by English usage
to the personal rank of the Queen S
daughter and the Duke of Argyll's SON.
The reason simply is that the title o1
+" Excellency is not exactly title al
all, but an adjunct of "dignity" granted
by courtesy to certain officials who rep
resent the sovereign Of Great Britain.
such as Viceroys, Governors and Lieu
tenant Governors. Some years ago
the Queen addressed the wife of the
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland as "Youl
Excellency," whereupon the wives o1
these high functionaries forthwith
seized upon the distinction and have
ever since insisted upon it. In Cana
da and India the Governors General
have granted the use of the same addi-
ton to the Commander-in- Chief of the
Queens Forces in those dominions.
In our own country this adjunct of dig
nifty has been legally granted, we be-
lieve, to only one public oficer-the
Governor of Massachusetts,, the Lieu
tenant Governor of the same State hav-
ing a legal claim to the title of His
Honor. 1t does not say as much as
it might perhaps for the reality Of our
American democratic instincts, that
these two adjuncts of dignity have new
ertheless been greedily appropriated
all over the land by public personages
from the President in the White House
down to the least Police Justice of Chi
cago or Hardscrabble in his courtroom
over bar.

How Happy Pll Be.

A mother bent over cradle nest,
Where she soothed her babe to his smiling rest,
" sleep WELL" she murmuTed soft and low.
And she pressed her kisses on his bros:
"Oh, child sweet child how happy I'll be
II the good Lord lets thee stay with me
Till later On In life's evening hour,
Thy strength shall be my strength and tower"
An aged one sat by the glowing hearth,
Almost ready To leave the earth
Feeble and frail, the race she had run
Had bore her along to the setting sun.
All me-, sighed che, In an undertone,
:" How happy III be when life is done
When the world faces ont with its weary strife,
And i soar away to better lifc."
'Tis thus we journey from youth to age,
longing To turn to another page,
Striving TO hasten the years away,
Lighting our heart with the future ray;
Hoping earth till fts visions fade,
Wishing and waiting, through sun and shade;
Turning when earth's last tie is riven,
