There is an objection to the common
way of boiling eggs which people do not
understand. 1t is this: The white, un-
der three minutes rapid cooking, be.
comes tough and indigestible, while the
yolk is left out. When properly cooked
eggs are done evenly through like any
other food. This result may be obtained
by putting the eggs into dish with a
cover, as tin pail, and then pouring
upon them boiling water, two quarts or
more to a dozen of eggs, and cover and
set them away from the stove for fifteen
minutes. The heat of the water cooks
the eggs slowly and evenly and suffi-
GENTLY, and to a jelly-like consistency,
having the center, or yolk, harder than
the white, and the egg tastes as much
richer and nicer as fresh egg is nicer
than stale egg; no person will want to
eat them boiled after trying this method
once.

Ranouncinr Hell.

Rev. MyTon Adams, pastor of the
Plymouth Congregational church,
at Rochester, N. Y, an eloquent
and gifted preacher, threw bomb
shell into the midst OF his Sunday
evening congregation by renounc-
ing the doctrine of his church In
regard to place of punishment
hereafter for the wicked. Selecting
for his text "Let love be without
discrimination" he boldly denounc-
ed the idea of hell as the doctrine
of the devil, and took the position
of Canon Farrar, TO wit: "Here l
declare and call God to witness that
if the popular idea of hell were
trae, l should be willing 10 re
nounce an Immortality of happi-
ness if thereby l could save a sin
gle soul. 1 can conceive of no
happy Immortality while millions
of my fellow creatures, some of
whom / had dearly loved, were at
the same time writhing in agony
and without hope" He thinks the
church is declining, and says Bish.
op Simpsons statement, in his SER
mon at Cincinnati, on Sunday of
last week, was sort Of whistling
to keep up courage. Skepticism,
he said, was crushing the church
and the church was to be blamed
for preaching false doctrine about
the future condition OF the race. IL
is not believed that Mr.. Adams will
be forced to resign a, the principal
members of his congregation stand
by him. Mr.. Adams is a graduate
of Hamilton college and Auburn
Theological Seminary, ana is about
forty years old.

THE BURGLAR AND THE EDITOR

A burglar climbed into an editors ROOM
Needy and poor was he
And he saw in the dim, uncertain gloom,
With legs as long as the stem OF broom
pair Of trousers I'll just freeze to 'em,
He chuckled with fendish glee.
He lifted them up from the back of the chair
Lightly they hung on his arm;
They were the EDITORS only pair;
Thinner than gossamer everywhere;
Oh, but the knees were worn and bare
Good clothes when the weather is warm
All oyer the room he searched il vain;
There was no moro to find;
There was no sign of sordid gain,
No passing drops from golden rain
Only the wealth of the sleeper's brain,
The peace of the EDITORS mind.
He turned his back on that happy home,
Thoughtfully netting those pants;
Out of the window he cautiously CLONE;
He emptied his pockets-a broken comb,
A stub of pencil, manuscript pome,
Answered his searching glance.
He started; the tears flashed into his eyes
De lean ed up against the fence;
A look of plying, mute surprise
Softened his face; he stifed his cries;
he looked at his swag and measured its size
Value-about nine cents.
Into his pockets-his own-he went,
And he dragged ont q ten dollar bill
And he hastily crammed it, every cont,
Into the editors pocket, and bent
The trowsers into wad and sent
Them over the window-s1ll.
Then on to a weather. house he sped,-
"'Twas charity well bestowed"
He said to himself; and when night had fed
And the editor rose from his virtuous bed
And found the money, he whistled and said;
DWELL, l am essentially blowedP'

"Here the secretary said a mis-

Brother Brayfogle sat down

before a second ballot was Ia

Gus individual named blacksmith,
who sometimes passes himself Off
as a deacan an the editor of n
sanity newspaper, had gained ac-
cess TO the stage, and was actually
sittiu' among the high priests an
elders, This discovery created in
tense excitement. Brother Bray
fogle took advantage of the pres
ence of blacksmith to raise the cry
OF fraud in the ballot by which he
was counted out, as he termed it.
He raised the point that this no.
torious person was ballot-boX

fraud which deprived an old and
palsied man of the presidency of
the United States and transferred
it to a man who was robust in ov-
erything but his intellect. But
this was neither here nor there.

the presence OF man who.

eighty strong men rushed upon

ment we had after that was on the

gate got GU: the sheet iron thun-
der and red-ire to work up a little
enthusiasm for your humble ser
want.

A PLUCKY WOMAN.
The Wife of Wakefield Gentleman
Scares Off Bulgarian
Effective Ruse.

Boston Globe.
By a remarkable display OF cool
ness and bravery, Mrs. Greenleaf,
who lives in that part of the town
known as the Little world" sue
ceeded in driving from her house
burglar who effected an entrance
Wednesday night while her hus-
band was away. Mr.. Greenleaf
had gone to Boston, and was not
expected home until the late train,
which fact caused his wife to re-
tire earlier than usual. Soon after
10 o'clock she was awakened by a
noise on the lower floor, ana, know
ing that it was not late enough for
MIR. Greenleaf to have returned,
concluded that it must be a bur
glar. Hastily, but quietly dressing
herself, she ran to the bureau to get
her husbands revolver, with view
of firing 1t off for the purpose of
soaring away the thief. The revolv
er, however, was gone, her husband
having taken it with him, where
upon she resolved upon the follow
ing bold plan to drive the burglar
from the premises: After locking
the door leading down stairs, she
pulled on a pair of her husband s
heavy boots and began making as
much noise as possible by running
around the room. She then threw
open the stairs door and shouted
to her husband, telling him TO run
down and shoot the burglar, at the
same time shouting to an imagina
ry servant to run down and assist
him. She continued making a
noise as she proceeded down stairs,
and before she reached the bottom
had the satisfaction of hearing the
kitchen-door open, and, believing
that the burglar had cleared, she
proceeded to the kitchen and found
the door open and the thief gone.
After locking the door and making
an examination, she found that the
greater portion of her silverware
and other valuables were removed,
but upOl further search they were
found upon a table carefully packed
and would undoubtedly have been
carried off but for her bravery and
GOODNESS.

PULASKI, TENN, THURSDAY, JUNE 10,

sunday schools often went to the
homes of his scholars, talked with
them and with their parents, met
them kindly ON the streets, fire.
quently gave them little presents,
and often bible as a present from
him, with his name inscribed, and
| by these means attached his schol-
ars to him and acquired a lifelong
influence over them. Are the SUI
perintendents of our schools using
all laudable means to gain the love
and affection of their scholars, and
to secure a lasting influence for
good over them?
The office bearers of the Wesley
an congregation when they had no
funds to employ teachers, resolved
to do the work themselves. Are
the office bearers of our churches
willing to do likewise?
When the sunday schools of
Gloucester declined for want of
funds TO pay teachers, six noble
young meu sOlemnly resolved that
"come what would" with Gods
help, the schools should be revived.
Are our young men willing, if need
be, to follow their example?
Hannah Moore, in view of the ig-
norance and degradation of those
around her, suspended her literary
pursuits to get up a sunday school,
and made house to house vista
tion throughout the village, saw the
children and their parents, and Sc
cured the attendance of 200 chill
dren and 200 adult scholars. Are
the educated and refined ladies of
our county imbued with like spirit?
Mrs. Catherine Boevey enter
tanned her scholars at her own
house, six of them by turns, dined
with. her every Sunday, after which
she examined them on the cate
chism. Are our ladies of wealth
and position in society willing If
need be to make like sacrifice for
the good of the children around
them?
If the Office bearers of our
churches, the superintendent of
our schools, our young men and our
young ladies, are actuated by the
same desire to do good that Robert
Raikes and his co-workers were, our
sunday schools will prosper and be-
come a power in the world. On
the other hand, if they are wanting
in zeal and in disposition to make
self-sacrifices themselves, as GER
tainly as effect follows cause our
schools will be less effective and
less potent for good than they were
at the close of the last century.
And the impress we give to the
present generation will be reflected
by the next.

"WAsHISGToN, Nov. 13.-The mention
of Gen Hancock's name in connection
with the presidential nomination has led,
as his friends supposed it would lead, TO
spiteful outcroppings over the hanging of
Mrs. Surratt, an affair which his official po.

direct. A few days ago, in the Indianap-

S'The Democrats can't nominate Gen.

prosecuted her for her religion.

Father Walter, of st. Patrick's church,
with this interview. He was Mrs. Surratt's
adviser, and he il was whom Gen Hancock
