How NOT TO PRAY.-Says devout writer,
''There are moments when, whatever the at
titude of the body, the soul is on it's knees. :"
But there are moments, too, when, though the
body be on it's knees, the soul is strutting about
on rhetorical stilts parading in lofty self-sutfi-
cheney it's tinsel glories before knee-sore au-
dience Something of this kind might have
been seen the other day at an anniversary oc-
casion. The school and audience were told
that they would be led i'll prayer. But, in
stead, they were led from prayer, by the high
strutting leader, while he told the Lord with a
flourish of language, the history of the Sunday
school, He lauded the faithfulness and self
sacrifice of it's teachers; the punctuality and
liberality of it's scholars; the energy, ability,
and self-denyng labors of it's superintendent; !;
and multitude of other things, ending with
an eloquent compliment to the pastor of the
church, and the audience before him. 1t was
in this way, very striking. Itwas in some as
poets instructive. But it was not prayer, nor
there never was anything like it before or
since. .-tSunIay School Times.

How TO KEEP AND COOK MACKEREL.-
The following suggestions with regard to keep.
ing and preparing picked mackerel and other
salt fish, are condensed from an article on the
subject by Mr.. Isaac Hale, of Newburyport
Massachusetts, who has more than merely
local reputation as packer of and as an ''ex.
pert" on all matters thereto pertaining: "To
keep nice, and prevent rusting, be sure that
they are kept under the pickle, Ifthe pickle
should get below the fish, fill up with more,
made by putting salt in cold water. The
cellar, or some place in which you have no
fire and an even temperature, is the best place
to keep all kinds of picked fish.
For boiling, soak twenty.four hours; for
broiling or for baking, soak forty-eight hours.
In the lattor case, cream or milk can be used
for cooking them in. To avoid the unpleas-
ant rising up in the throat after eating, which
many persons experience, skin the mackerel
before cooking, and a white, pulpy substance
will be found, which adheres to the skin, and
which causes this strong taste.
a@ Blessed is the man who knows enough
to keep his mouth shut. Some people live
sixty years without learning the art. Indeed,
the older they grow, the wider their mouths
open. A man or woman who is gabbler at
forty-6ve is dreadful af1iction to house, or
church, or community. There are two
things this age needs to learn-wben to say
nothing, and when il says anything to say it
we'll. "If any man among you seem to be
religious, and brideth not his tongue, this
mans religion is vain" ."-Murray.

NEW HAVEN, July g.

NEW HAVEN, July g. It gives me great pleasure to bear witness to the remarkable skill of Dr. Lighthiu and the successful results of his treatment. For the past thirty-six years | had been troubled with 8 catarrhal complaint, which was very annoying and often interfered with my swal- lowing and breathing Of late years it at- tackled my hearing, impairing it to consid- erable extent, and as 1t kept constantly in creasing upon me it subjected me to serious inconvenience. One of Dr. LighthiHs pa- tients, finding himself greatly benefited by his treatment, advised me to place myself un- der his care, and happily did so. Dr. Light hill effectually removed the catarrhal com plaint and all it's attendant troubles, and re- stored my hearing to it's former perfection and acuteness. I know Dr. Lighthill's repu- tation is so well known that any recommen- dation on my part is scarcely necessary, but feel like discharging a duty to the afflicted in New Haven and vicinity to make this pub lie statement of my case, so that others may be enabled to embrace this opportunity of obtaining relief.
 My happy experience of the results of Dr. Lighthill's efforts has taught me to appreci- ate fully the value of specialties in medical practice, and I feel assured that few min utes' conversation with Dr. Lighthill will con- vince the most skeptical of the fact that he is master of his profession.

 NEW HAvEN August 20, 1880.
 Permit me to add my testimony of Dr. Lighthill's skill and success to that of Mir. Cox and others, as I have every reason to speak in terms of the highest praise of his successful efforts in my behalf. When a month ago I applied to him for relief was great sufferer. A catarrh which had af f1icted me for some time past recently be- came so aggravated that it impaired my hear ing and gave rise to such agonizing pain and distress in my head that it nearly drove me insane. In fact, such a result could scarcely have been otherwise if Dr. Lighthil had not afforded me such marvelously prompt relief. One treatment proved the efficacy of his method, for when left his office was in condition of comfort and experienced the most inexpressible relief. That night rest ed comfortably, and in the morning felt like 8 new man. Ever since then 8 steady i'm provement has taken place ill my case, the most stubborn features yielding readily to Dr. Lighthill's skillful management. The pain has entirely disappeared, my hearing is restored and troublesome cough, which se- riously alarmed my friends, is almost entire ly gone. My whole system, in fact, has been so much benefited that all my acquaintances notice the favorable change. Like many oth- CTS, I had spent much money and time in fruitless efforts to obtain relief before I ap- piled to Dr,. .Lighthill, and I can therefore recommend the doctor with the confidence of a long experience. I am an employe of the Boston and Air Line Railroad Company, and reside at 267 Atwater street, and will cheer fully substantiate in person what have here put in writing. J. H. MEHAFFEY.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Those who think that Hancock's declara- tion concerning southern claims settles the matter should look back little After Mr. Tilden's letter, in the canvass of 1876, in which he took very much the ground which General Hancock now takes, it was proposed in Congress to clinch the settlement of the question by constitutional amendment for bidding the payment of any claim for dam ages or losses in the war of the rebellion to any person not proved to have been loyal to the Union. Of 73 southern Democrats who voted on the proposition 5s voted against it. When the proposition was renewed, of 6a southern Democrats voting on it 58 again opposed it. When it was brought up a third time, of 63 southern Democrats who voted 59 voted against it. Defeat the Democratic party and there will be no trouble about these claims.

 It affords me great pleasure to add my tes- timony to that of others in favor of Dr. Lighthill's success in the cure of catarrh. His treatment of my wife has proved so ben efeial that eheerfully recommend him to the confidence of the afflicted. The catarrh in the case of my wife was of long standing and in it's worst form, against which many remedies had been tried in vain. The very first treatment applied by Dr. LighthiH per manently removed some of the most trouble some features and the results ever since have been of the most gratifying character. Our people may congratulate themselves on hay ing at their command the services of phy sician so skillful as Dr. Lighthiu in the treat ment of that troublesome disease, catarrh-

There is a Methodist minister in Plainfeld, New Jersey, who does not consider it his duty to keep still while party which he believes to be bad is seeking to gain power. This minister is Rev. John H. Vincent, and he made pow erful speech Thursday evening in the Repub- lican wigwam in Plainfeld, prefacing it with a vigorous defense of his action in appearing on a partisan platform. Among other things he said: "They say religion should not be brought into politics But how about times when the question is one of right and wrong? So help me God, will vote for financial honesty. Suppose the question is one affecting the rights of our fellow-men i? Shall I hide in my cellar? No, will work and talk and vote, and, if need be, die, for the rights of my fellow-men. I am minister, and had not forgotten my calling when I left my study and came here tonight to aid in supporting the cause of the flag of my country minister is neither more nor less a man because of that fact. When it comes to question of morals and right, it is the business of the minister to follow it wherever it goes" These are honest, hearty words, but the Democratic members of Dr. Vincent's congregation will not appreciate them.

Apples are more than abundant in New England this year, and an effort will be made to get some profit by shipping large quanti- ties of them to Europe. The various lines of steamers sailing daily from Boston are nearly all engaged ahead for cargoes of apples up to the middle of November, and some of them even up to December, and the demand for shipping accommodations is so in advance of the carrying capacity of the steamers that freights have advanced during the past week from 3s. Cd, per barrel to 4s. and As. 6d, 7, and several sailing vessels have been chartered to take cargoes to the Clyde and the west of England. The steam CTS take from 5000 to 10000 barrels per trip and they have about 100000 barrels now engaged in advance. The apple shipping business is largely experimental as yet, but the abundance of fruit and the low prices that rule this year make this an excellent time to make decisive practical test of the expedieney and profit of sending the surplus product of the New England orchards to Europe.

A bold member arose and moved that the name of the organization be changed to ''The Hancock and Bigelow Guard" Another bold member seconded the motion, and vote was taken whichsshowed that forty of those present favored the change and sixty were opposed to it. This was such surprising and distressing state of affairs that it was thought something should be done about it. and accordingly he who made the motion and he who seconded it were summa- rily expelled from the club, though the other thirty eight who voted for the change were suffered to remain in more or less good and regular standing. The two despised and re jected Hancock and Bigelow men need not, however go without torches, caps and capes unless they desire to. They have simply to go little further and call it "Garfield and Bigelow.'

He has not been able to find single picture of him displayed in Indianapolis, except little card portrait in photographers show case. Pictures of Hancock abound, but no banner, transparency or saloon window displays the sour, surly visage of the 'spoor mans friend. g The Indianapolis Sentinel, the chief organ of the Democracy, rarely mentions his name and no wonder, for not many years ago English sold the household furniture of the present editor under a chatteI mortgage English works hard as the chairman of the State committee, but does not appear on any public occasion. Not long ago he complained to newspaper man of the injustice of the charge about his foreclosures on the home steads of workingmen, saying he now held mortgages on sixty lots in the city on which he might begin proceedings if he wished, but he did not intend to- Mr. Smalley thinks the generous soul is probably waiting till after election.
