Religion and Morals in eermanv

A correspondent of the Pal Mall Gaz-
cite writes on the 10th ult.:-The chaplain
to the Imperial family, NJ. Baur preached
on Wednesday last sermon in the Cathe-
dral of Berlin, before the Emperor and
the Imperial family, in which he spoke
of the present state of morality, or rather
immortality, in Prussia in very strong terms.
Affection, faith, and the Word of God
are now unknown in this country" the
chaplain said, Gin this our great German
Fatherland, which formerly justly was
called the home of the faith. On the
contrary, it really seems as if it we're the
Father of all lies who now is worshiped in
Prussia. What formerly was considered
generous and noble is now looked upon
with contempt, and theft and swindling
are called by the euphOnic word business, u
leading merchants openly declaring that
some transactions are bordering on felony.
Marriages are concluded without the bless
ing of the church-concluded ''on trial, y
to be broken if not found to answer. We
still have Sunday, but it is only Sun
day in name, as the people work during
the church hours and spend the afternoon
and evening in rioting in public-houses
and music halls; while the upper classes
rush to the races, preferring to hear the
painting of the tortured horses to hearing
the Word of God, which is ridiculed in the
press and turned into blasphemy in the
popular assemblies, while the servants Of
God are insulted daily" The German
clerical newspapers, Protestant as we'll as
Catholic, are writing in like strain.

To destroy bugs on squashes and Gu
cumbcr vines, dissolve a tablespoonful of
saltpetre in painful of water, put pint
of this around each hill, shaping the earth
so that it will not spread much, and the
thing is done. The more saltpetre, if you
can afford tit is good for vegetables but
death to animal life. The bugs burrow in
the earth at night and fail to rise in the
morning. 1t is also good to kill grub in
peach trees-only use twice as much, say
a quart to each tree There was not
yellow or blistered leaf on twelve or fifteen
trees to which it was applied last season.
No danger of killing any vegetable with
it-a concentrated solution applied to
beans makes them grow wonderfully.

Or. Codes states that breed of solid
hOOfed pigs has apparently been established
in Texas. The terminal phalanges of the
toes are united to form single broad pha-
lanx; above this, however, the other two
phalanges remain perfectly distinct. The
hoof is perfectly solid, and on its sole there
is broad angular elevation of horny sub
stance, which is curiously like the frog Of
the horses hoof The breed is so firmly
established that no tendency to revert to
the original and normal form is observable

aenlGa Boil as for the table. taking
one-third fat, twO-thirds lean, chop fin e,
add small teaspOonful each of pepper
sauce and Worcestershire or Halford

your taste; cut the slice across and place
the halves together with the ham between.
In adding the cayenne pepper, put in a
little at time and taste, adding to suit

DR.. G. F. Waters, of Boston, has found
in the juice of the miIkweed a remedy
for suppurating wounds. The time Of
healing varied from "a to 36 hours; but in
each instance new skin formed completely
across. The Doctor states that the only
essential point is to dry the wounded sur
face gently and thoroughly with blottiDg
paper before applying the milkweed juice.
After the juice is applied, and while heal
ing is in progress, piece of blotting paper
is used to cover the surface.

In nine cases out of ten, the wisest
course is, if a man cheat you, quit dealing
with him; if he be abusive, quit his CON-

SO that nobody viii believe him.

Love one human being purely and warm
ly, and you will love all The heart, in

The Egyptians are said to have first
made beer by pouring hot water on barley
and allowing the fluid to ferment. 1t has
been said that they called this drink
"bouzy," from Busiris, the name of city
which contained the tomb of the god Bu-
siris or Osiris. So, says one of our quaint
old authors, we get the term "bouzy,"
which we apply to a man Who has taken
great deal of beer, and whom we call
bouzy fellow. The word beer probably
comes from barley, or from the Hebrew
word bar, corn.

Maine's Town Elections.


GREENBACKERs DEVELOPING SIRE NGrH
PORTLAND, Me-, March 5s-Municipal
elections were held in many of the cities
and towns of this State to-day. In most
of the former and many of the latter
three straight tickets were in the field
Republicans, Democratic and Green
back The latter has shown good deal
of strength, and has succeeded in defeat
ing elections in Lewiston, Auburn, and
Rockland. which are usually strong Re.
publican cities.
In Cornish, town in York county,
they elect a full board of Selectmen by
25 majority over the Republicans and
Democrats combined. In this city they
threw 1888 votes, an increase of 100 over
last fall. The strength which the Green
hackers have developed, especially in
the rural districts, constitutes the most
significant feature of the election, mas
much as it indicates that they may be
able, if not checked, to prevent an cleo
ton of Governor by the people in the
fall, and give trouble in the Congress.

The State House pavement, the lobbies
of Independence Hall and Common
Council chamber of Philadelphia were
densely packed last night with crowd
of several thousand persons, the ceremo-
MES in honor of the centennial anniver-
sary of Robert Emmet's birth. There
was such crowd thatladies and children
were crushed in the lobbies; and it was
only after hard struggle that the orator
of the evening. John OByrne, Esq, of
Wilmington, made his way into the
chamber. These drawbacks aside, the
meeting was an immense success. The
several "Irish Skirmishing Fund" clubs
were in attendance, wearing badges,
while later in the evening the Sheares
Rifles and the Gallowglasses, IN full uni
form, marched into the densely packed
room.
Mr.. OByrne's Grafton. while an elo-
quent eulogium of the patriot Emmett,
was also a clear and connected history Of
Ireland and of the struggle she has made
for independence and the idea of nation

Norman over the Celt, showed by his

generation of Irishmen that did not
make a struggle for nationality. God had
| stamped nationality on the brow of Ire
land, said Mr. O'Bvrne, and her history
showed that the spirit of freedom which
nature had planted In the souls of her
sons was indestructible. At the close OF
the Grafton, which was rapturously APP
plauded, the band played "St. Patrck's
Day in the Morning" and "God Save
Ireland" was sung.

The value of a thorough practical knowl-
edge OF tie German language cannot be
over-estimated The number of Germans
In the United States is already very large
and is rapidly increasing. In Philadelphia
about one-sixth of the Inhabitants speak
the German language. 1t needs no argu
ment to show that under these circumstan-
ces practical knowledge of that language
is not only a social advantage, but a bust
ness necessity.
How, then, can the German language be
most thoroughly ana quickly acquired3
mean so acquired as To be an easy and de
lightful means Of com ommnnication, enabl-
| ing the student to enter into the spirit of any
conversation. and TO appreciate the beau

ofteaching the language by means OF the

teaching 1t by means of conversation alone
has also failed. These failures have result
ed not only In a great waste OF valuable
time. but also in the production OF a large

method is to familiarize the pupil with the

THE POT-HUNTERS OF EUREKA.

The Elko Independent of Tuesday has the
following allusion to the depredations Of law
less huntsmen:
Some years since, an enterprising citizen of
Elko, expended several hundred dollars of his
own money, in importing large numbers of
Eastern and California quail for the laadable
purpose of stocking the valleys of eastern
Elko county with those splendid game birds.
The effort was crowned with encouraging sue
cess and the birds began to multiply with sur
passing rapidity, and every lover of field sport
in this locality was delighted with the pros
pect of bountiful supply of feathered game.
Presently the pot-hunters of Eureka came
down like wolves on the fold and quickly
bagged every quail in Elko county. We now
learn from gentlemen just returned from a
hunting tour in the South Fork hills, that the
Eureka pot-hunters are raiding upon the deer
family without regard to age, condition, or sex.
On Saturday last the Eureka gang had Sc
cured five deer and were still on the war path.
VIII not the law abiding citizens of Eureka
assist us in protecting the game and in bring
ing the vandal pot-hunters to Justice?
