ONE POUND Of sugar stirred into fruit
after it is cooked and while yet warm, will
make the fruit as sweet as two and aquar-
ter pounds added while the fruit is boiling.
The reason of this is that sugar boiled with
acid will be converted into glucose, and
one pound OF sugar has as much sweetness
as two and quarter pounds of glucose.
Take notice, and save your sugar.

THE BIRTH OF A ROYAL BABY.

The Madrid correspondent of the New
Y ork Evening Mail'' writes the follow
ing interesting account of the birth of
the heir to tie throne of Spain. His let
ter is dated Sept. 18th:
We had been on the tiptoe of expecta-
ton for days, so much so that, as we had
been told that the birth of a royal child
would be announced by the firing Of 6f-
teen guns if a female, and twenty -one if a
male, we were all ears, and even the clos
ing of heavy door anywhere would be
Immediately counted ''one," by everybody
IN the nelghborhood.
Thus susceptible as to sounds we were
all convinced that the little stranger had
arrived, when. week ago, we heard the
booming OF guns early in the morning. We
counted twenty-one. ''It was prince"
we said. Delight on one side and disap-
pointment on the other, beyond all calcu-
lation. were experienced in the political
world. But the firing continued. Every
countenance was an Interrogation point
Struggling their shoulders, the madrilenos
went on counting up to tifty-two. ''There
were not only twins. but both were boys"
The firing continued. People no longer
counted the guns, but reckoned from
twenty-o ne to twenty -one as many as five
princes, and then gave it up. At this
stage of affairs it began to be discovered
that by singular coincidence the guns of
the artillery practice, three miles off, never
before heard in Madrid, were that day.

as to post off to the palace in full uniform.
there to find out his mistake.
This occurred last Monday morning,
and nothing more transpired IN connec-
ton with this interesting event until
Saturday evening, when at about 7 O'CLOCK
the seventy or eighty halberdiers OF the
Palace Guard, who had been for days IN
constant readiness, booted and spurred'
were despatched at the top of their speed,
one to each of the persons invited, so that
in less than twenty minutes the invita-
ti0ns had all been delivered.

speculations as to the Future Life.

Years ago, in the days of Bishop Butler,
very much stress was laid VI on the analo-
gies in nature illustrating and supporting
the idea of future life, and the treatises
then written were models Of intellectual
power and patient research. A great I'M.
preston was produced, not only upon un-
educated but educated minds, Since that
period science has progressed with giant
strides, and at every step has SO largely
added to the list Of striking analogies or

Of early date seem few in number and
dwarfed in proportion and force. The idea
of an unseen immaterial exlstance involves
also, the idea of unseen activities and cor
responsiveness in the rayless realm. The
most stolid of us cannot fail to be Impress
ed with the beautiful analogies which re-
cent scientific discovery affords. Do we
not everyday converse with unseen friends
long distances away, do we not recognize
their familiar voices, in homes separated
from us by rivers, woods and mountains
These voices come out Of the darkness,
guided by frail wire which science pro-
yides as pathway. Even when the cur
tain Of night is drawn about us the voices
are heard, and we have not the shadow of
doubt of their integrity and identity.
And further, have we not analogies of
sight which startle us by their significance?
Is it nOt.true tnat when abroad we are
open to the view of unseen observers long
distances from US, and our every act and
movement known? The excellence of OPP

shroud of space), can be seen, and we can
hear their voices, their shouts of laughter,
the words of the hymns they sing, the
cries of the little ones in the mothers
arms, is it very absurd to anticipate time
when those dead to us by the dissolution
of the body may, by some now unknown
telephony, send to US voices from realm
close at hand, but hidden from mortal
vision?
We have no proofs to offer that this
realm of the departed. this home Of the

more reasonable and sensible to adopt this

loved young man resident in the vii

been accepted. Re entity, however, the
object Of Miss Bsniamin's love became
estrangsd from her, q state Of affairs
which caused her great uneasiness. for
which her friends had been unable to
account, she having been of an uncom-
monty light-hearted disposition. Thurs
day she secluded herself from the re-
mainder Of the household. Late in the
evening it was discovered that she had
taken strychnine. Physicians were call
ed in, but their efforts proved unavail-

A piece or Mr. weaver's Mind.

When the new rules were under dis.
oussion in the House Of Representatives
on Friday at Washington, Mr.. Harris
proposed new rule, to the effect that
motions to suspend the rules on Mondays
to pass resolutions Of q merely senti.
mental character should not be enter
tanned, and, in support Of his prsposi-
ton, referred to the frequency with
which the time Of the House was was
ted by the presentation Of resolutions
embracing individual and partisan
opinisns, many of which were nothing
bat clap-trap. Mr.. Weaver replied to
Mr.. Harris, and, after referring to his
unsuccessful efforts for FIVE consecutive
Mondays to obtain recognition from the
Speaker, charged that tie Democrats
we're deceiving the people by clap trap.
They professed one set of principles
when on the stump, soliciting votes,
and steadily ran away from those prin-
eiples when called upon in the House
to give them practical effect. He
warned them that unless this species Of
clap-trap was abandoned, there would
not bs left in the House a sufficient
number Of Democrats to form q corpo-

ity was applauded by the Republicans

"It was won by hard work and . good

Another Church Scan dal.

Fall River, Mass, Feb. 27.-The
ecclesiastical trial Of Rev. Charles Z.
Walker Pastor ofthe Methodist Church
charged by his wife with having
committed adultery with a young
woman residing ia his family, and Of
neglecting to support his wife, resulted
last night in his suspension from the
ministry and from church privileges
until the meeting of the annual Con-
ference. The regular trial before the
Conference will be held at Norwich,
April Z. but, as petitions for divorce
have been fled by both parties, the
case may be disposed of in the civil
Courts. This will be remembered as
the case in which the wife was recently
arrested in New York, upon her arrival
there from Norwich in company with
a hostler, and who was subseq uently

Tho Fitx John Porter Case,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Contrary to
general expectations, the Democrats
have determined to take up the Fitz
John Porter case in the Senate, and II
is probable that its discussion will be-
gin next week, and be continued from
day to day until disposed Of. Senator
Randolph, who is charged with the con.
duct of the bill, succeeded to-day in
having 1t formally taken up, and an
understanding was reached by which
the discussion will begin on Monday.
Senator Randolph is earnest and en-
thusiastic in his support Of Porter, and
expresses confidence in his ability to
carry the bill successfully through. He
said TO day that 1t was his purpose to
press the bill to vote without unne-
cssssry delay. He claims to have ass
surances from several Republican Sen
ators that they will support the mea-
sure.

a split In the Democratic party can no

Electoral ticket from the disaffsetioI
toward Mr.. Conkling's rule and the
natural opposition TO the third term
The news fell hat everywhere. The
Washington Star says: "The action ol
the Utica Convention in instructing for
General Grant neither surprises or dis.
appoints anybody who has kept at all
informed upon current political
events"
The Grant boom will now begin to
unboom in good earnest. The opinion
seems general that he will get no more
instructed big delegations.
Many say that CoDkling's stalwart
and eloquent speech was the only thing
that saved the day.
They say at Washington that Grant
cannot get Illinois solid, and the loss Of
his State will be the next positive blow
TO the boom. Even II he gets Illinois,
it's only State pride, and will fall fiat,
too.

about.
A New York special to the Boston
"Herald" says: "For the first time
men are expressing the opinion that
Grant will not be the nominee, and
the sporting men are Offering to bet ON
1t. Politicians are wondering to whom
the Graut strength will be thrown after
the first ballot. The result Of the Utica

showing chat Grant Is not the choice Of
the people Of this State, for, without
the powerful influence Of the State Ad-
and It's patronage, It would
not have gone for Grant"

Close tho western gates OF gold.

Two white, trembling hands imprisoned,
How the golden moment flies
Lips that softly press thy forehead,
All the rosy Dlushes call,
For lovers kiss at twilight

Happy wife, thy noble husband,
More than bali lover yet
For those sunny hours OF w0oing
Are too sweet to soon forget
On thy smiling lips upliited
Full OF love, his kisses fall,
For husbands kiss at parting
Is the dearest kiss Of oil.

With their dimpled hands go fair,
Passing over cheek and forehead,
