Col. Hooker arrived at Colum.
bia about ten o'clock, aud after
short rest went oat to the place
prepared tor the speaking, followed
10y an immeusc crowd of people.
He told them OF his nomination by

TO opposing candidates, one being
Mr.. Deason. J. B. Deason, who
made speech at y conven ton of
republicans, at Magnolia, aud is
new in the field AS al independent.
He also Understood that a Mr.. Pat.
terson has received the nomination
of another radical convention.
Col. Hooker said, Il d0n't know

with mein this canvass, we will tind
out who struck Billy Patterson, a
question long in debate.n At one
time our Southern country was said
to be iu u state of panic, but it was
rather a cbrouic state, induced by
radical nisruIo. We are solid for
Hancock aud English because with
them we will have an economical
administration, in the interest of
the people.
Col. Hooker read several extracts
from speech OF Schurz, showing
who was responsible tor the fraud
and wrong which prevailed in 1876.
As au evidence OF that the people
OF the South were earnest in their
support OF the government, and
willing to lay aside all bitterness.
He said that circumstance once
called him to preside a. speaker
pro TEN of the house, when the bill
came up for arrearages of pensions
due to Union soldiers in the late
war, amounting to thirty seven mil.
lion dollars, and which passed in
thirty minutes with scarcely q
question. He referred to Hayes
veto OF the supervisors of election
bill. The party in power used be
army to keep themselves in power,
but the tune ,is coming when that
will be changed, and democratic
president will aid in removing these
troubles. Murat Halstead, now a
strong supporter of Garfield, bad
said that Garfield was a man not
ft to be nominated on his record,
Garfield lett the army after the
disastrous battle of Chichamauga.
He read an extract from one Of
Garfeld's speeches, which expresses
the most violent bitterness toward
us. He said: "Anything would
be right that would exclude the
people lately In rebellion from their
rights as citlzcns," ETC., "and that
until all the acts Of the republican
party is fully acknowledged to be
right, he would not shake hands

An old member from North Caro-
lima replied: "Then you will never

Skirting a School of Icebergs.

CAPT. WIN. SMITH, of the steamship
State of Georgia, that arrived at this port
on Thursday from Glasgow, reports
passing last Saturday large school of
icebergs extending from latitude A deg.
22 min. north and longitude 48 deg. 10
min. west to latitude "A deg. l6 min.
north and longitude 4S deg. so min.
west. This Is Southeast Of Newfound-
land. First Officer A. b. Murray, who
was on watch at the time, said yester-
day: at was a beautiful day. There
were eight large icebergs and a number
of smaller ones. They extended east
and west, and were drifting southwark.
We passed within mile, and had a
good view of them as we passed one af.
ter another for thirty miles. They were
in sight for three hours. Some of them
were from 100 feet to 200 feet high,
One that was in the shape of a higb
bluff was about 800 feet long. Another
was about 250 feet long, and was sur
mounted with towers, spires, and tur-
rets, like vast cathedral. Another was
200 feet long and was wedge-shaped.
The colors we're gorgeous in the after
noon sunshine. Seine of the icebergs
had clear blue streak all the way
around, but the ice was mainly clear
Our course led us very near, but we
were not obliged to deviate. If we had
met such mass of ice at night it would
have been very dangerous, but with a
sharp lockout, unless the weather is
foggy, icebergs may be plainly seen at
night from the halo of light that gener-
ally surmounts them. The shape of an
iceberg always changes as it is viewed
from different points, and a lively imag-
ination can liken one to many objects.
if we could have towed the largest one
into New York it would have materially
affected the price of ice this summer. h
The bark Ajax, from Rotterdam,
passed nine icebergs on the 30th ult., in
latitude 43 deg. "a min longitude 40
deg. 40 min.-N. Y. San.

HOME AND FARM.


In almost all cases IL Is the universal
experience that orchards hre more GER
tain TO do well where the spot chosen Is
somewhat higher than the surrounding
land.
YELLOW SPONGE CAKE.-One and a
half cups sugar, three eggs, half cup
sweet milk, four tablespoonfuls sweet
cream, two tablespoonfuls baking-pow-
der, one teaspoonful lemon essence 1;
beat whites and yelks separate.
Now and then a farmer may be found
who annually sows an acre or two Of
barley. This grain is excellent when
mixed with other sorts for feeding pur-
poses. The two-rowed and four r.rowed
are the principal varieties sown.
On no account, when in health, should
our domestic poultry have sulphur given
them, Charcoal is very good, but
should not be fed to the fowls. It should
be given as other similar substances are.
II conveniently broken the fowls will
pick up and eat all they need, or ought
to have. Give all food clean and cold.
MIX half pint of vinegar and half
pint of milk. When they have formed
a curd take the whites of five eggs and
boil the whole together; sift into them
sufficient quick-lime to make the whole
into paste. 1t is good cement TO
hold broken glass and crockery.
FARMERS who practice soiling would
DO well to remember that field of
Hover furnishes a very large amount of
green food, since two or three crops can
be cut during the season. The scarlet
clover is an excellent sort, sown in July
it does well on almost any soil moder-
ately fertile. The Bokhara clover af-
fords excellent food for bees and is
grown quite extensively by large
apiarists.
A GOOD recipe for sponge cake is said
to be this; One pound of sugar, sifted;
half pound of flour, rind of lemon,
grated, with the juice. Beat the yelks
very light and mix them well with the
sugar; add the lemon; beat them well
together; add the whites, beaten stiff
shake the -four in very gently-should
not be stirred when the flour is well
mixed. If in one pan, two hours; if in
two pans, one and half hours.
CURE FOR SELF-sUCKING Cow.-An
Indiana farmer says a COW may be pre-
vented from sucking herself by placing
a pair of jointed bridle-bits in her mouth
upon a head stall which passes over her
head between the ears and horns. The
bits do not prevent the COW from eating,
but keep her from sucking. An inn
provement on the above is to use hollow
bits which are perforated with holes, so
that when the COW tries to suck her
mouth is at once filed with air which
passes through the bits.

INCUBATION OF SCARLATINA.-In In the
transactions of the Clinical Society, the
conclusions of DR.. Murchison, concern
ing the incubation period of scarlatina
are thus presented. First, the duration
of the incubation stage may be only a
few hours; second, probably in large
proportion of cases it does not exceed
forty-eight hours; third, it very rarely
exceeds seven days-consequ a
person who has been exposed to scarlet
fever and does not sicken after week.
quarantine may be pronounced safe.
Many facts show, he thinks, that scar
latina has an injecting power from the
earliest stage of the malady, although
the comparative facility of preventing
its spread in school, when the first
case is promptly isolated, points to this
power being much less during the first
two or three days than in the case of
measles; on the other hand, scarlatina
has the power of injecting over a
period of many weeks-no case, in fact,
can be regarded as safe until the expi-
ration of the eighth week.

The Passion Play at Oberammergau,

ABOUT forty-six miles from Munich,
in Upper Bavaria, in a district chiefly
inhabited by wood-carvers, lies the vii
lage of Oberammergau-a place to
which travellers in Europe during the
coming season will be specially attract
ed. Between May II and September
rs the Oberammergau Passion Play
which has been performed every ten
years since 1634-will be represented
with all its pristine splendor. In 1858 a
frightful plague invaded Oberammer-
gau and the surrounding valley; and
the mourning survivors pledged them
selves, in thankfulness for its final ces-
sation, to represent the sufferings of
Jesus every ten years, and this pledge
they have faithfully kept. In 1890
miracle plays were generally prohibited
for various moral or social reasons, but
special exception was made in regard to
the people of Oberammergau. The
theater in which the Passion Play will
be given this year will accommodate
about 5000 persons. Perhaps it would
more properly be called an amphithea-
ter, as, with the exception of the stage
and the upper row OF seats, it is open to
OhO ohJ Lh0 pLlC6 VI S6dlS NdTl6S from
one mark (about twenty-four cents in
value) to eight. All the expenses are
borne by the parish and whatever prof
its remain after paying expenses, and
setting aside a reserve fund, are devoted
to local charities. There are some.fif-
teen or twenty speaking parts in the
play; the instrumental chorus includes
about thirty; and over six hundred per-
sons take part in the tableaux, some of
them being little children not more than
two or three years old. There are sew
enteen groups of types and tableaux,
and much ingenuity is shown in the ar
rangement of these. The Old Testa-
ment types, which precede the tableaux,
are explained by the chorus of singers.
The dates fixed for these performances
are chiefly on Sundays. With the ex-
ception of two, the actors are the same
as in 1870. One of the former inter-
prefers of the play has died; and the one
who in 1870 took the part of the Virgin
Mary has, according to the strict ideas
of the people, become disqualified for
assuming it, in consequence of her mar
riage. This strange Passion Play was
probably first written by one of the BEN
edictines of Ettal-a monastery formerly
near Oberammergau-although rewrit-
ten since. The libretto does not contain
the music, and only gives the words OF
the chorus songs.-Harper'S Bazar.

INDIA is coming forward as a tea
growing country, and in 1879 furnished
Great Britain nearly one-ffth of its
annual supply. The tea product of
India is steadily increasing, having
risen from 2I81400O pounds in 1876 to
S5,420, 600 in 1873. The teais stronger
and cheaper than the Chinese teas, but
is said to be not so mildly favored.
Small consignmcnts which have reach
cd this country, however, have been
highly praised by New York tea tasters.
AS the English statutes against adultor-
alton are vigorously enforced in India,
1000 chests of tea aduterated by
dust'' were burned recently. Indian
teas are not faced or colorcd as
Chinese teas are, and the leaf presents
more irregular appearance. The new
teas rs they come into use are likely to
displace the Chinese teas of the lower
grade, result generally desirable.

that the bearer, was MIR. Willard, an emil

that his business was to deliver to Bish-
Op Twigg check of $4,000, which had
been left to the church by a client.
The check was forgery, too. He final
