Political Prospects.

But ten days remain between this
and election day, and In that time a
vast amount Of good work must be
done, and no amount OF defeat In
Indiana should be allowed to ''gloom"
US In the least. It is true We relied
upon that State, but we can and will
win without 1t II 1t needs be, but We
will carry it next Tuesday week to a
dead certainty.
The Republicans spent untold sums
Of money In Indiana; they crowded
the polls with United States Mar
shals and Supervisors. but In Novem'
Der they must meet US all along the
line. There can be no concentra'
tion on an isolated State. concequent-
ly the Republicans will have need OF
every man and every dollar to carry
tho doubtful Republican States.

Domestic Recipes.

DELICATE TEA CAKE.-The whites of
3 eggs beaten toa froth, ! cup of pull
verized white sugar, cup of sweet milk,
l teaspoonful of cream of tartar, tea
spoonful of soda, % cups of flower, u tea
spoonful of almonds, l cup Of melted
butter.
PARsNIP FRITTERs. -Scrape and halve
the. parsnips; boil tender in hot sailed
water; mash smooth, picking out the
woody bits; add beaten egg to every
four parsnips; a teaspoonful OF
flour; pepper and salt at your
discretion; add enough milk to make in
to thick batter, drop by the spoonful
into hot lard and fry brown. Drain
into hot colander and dish.
BLEACHING STRAW GooDs. Straw IS
bleached by simply exposing it in a
closed chamber to the fumes of burning
sulphur; an old -four barrel is the APP
paratus most used for the purpose by
milliners, fiat stone being laid on the
ground, the sulphur ignited thereon,
and tie barrel containing the goods to
be bleached turned over it. The goods
should be previously washed in pure
water.
How TO WASH CREwEL WORK. -
Some c.ewel work, however careful you
may be, will not wash, as the dyes used
are imperfect, but any good crev els will
wash with moderate care, and the use OF
bran only is safe and sure. 1t should be
carried out as follows: Pour half a gal
lon of water over half pound Of bran
overnight, and let it soak, stirring occa-
sionally; draw off the water, and wash
the crewels in it lukewarm; merely
squeezing the water out and hanging
them to dry, not near the fire nor III the
sun: iron with cool iron.
Essence OF BEEF.-One pound OF
gravy beef, free from skin and fat, chop
as fine as mincemeat; pound IN a mortar,
with three tablespoonfuls OF soda water,
and soak for two hours; then put in
covered earthen jar, with little paste,
and tie a piece Of cloth over the top;
place the ja1 in pot half full of boiling
water, and keep the pot on the fire for
four hours, simmering; strain of the hquld
essence through coarse seive; 1t viii be
about five or six ounces in quantity; one
teaspoonful of cream may occasionally
be added with advantage to four ounces
of the essence, or it may be thlckened
with flower, arrowroot, or sage.

FerOciOes Spanish Robbers.
From a Madrid Letter

Recently band Of robbers entered
Rhodes Catalan village in Lerida
county, Spain. 1t WIS Sunday. Nearly
all the inhabitants were mt church. The
curate was in the pulpit preaching ser
mon. Three Of the robbers boldly
stalked into church They (as indeed all
the band were) had their faces smeared
with SCOT, rifle was slung over their
shoulders, n revolver was in their HANDS,
in their belt was a bowie knife. Elbow
ing their way to the pulpit they wentup
the steps, knocked down the curate,
bound him with ropes, threw him on
their shoulders and went with their bur
den to the parsonage. As they Quilted
the church they warned the congregation
that whoever budged would be shot
down. Their companions appeared mt
the door to show that this threat was no
idle menace. Nobody dared move. Once
in the parsonage, the poor curate
was seated, still bound on chair,
and ordered to surrender l,5OO ounces
Of gold they knew were IN his possession.
He declared he had no money. They
thrust bowie knives fifteen times IN his
legs and arms, and, M he persisted III his
declaration, they put him on his feet and
belabored him with cudgel. He there
upon confessed that he had 500 reals,
bnt that tins sum was all he possessed
The robbers lighted a sheaf Of wheat and
placed the poor curate's head over IT.
His hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes took
fire. He shrieked with pain. These
screams brought his servant, and she
ran to ring the alarm bell. A robber
felled her to the earth. Furious at be
ing bafiled of the 1900 ounces Of gold
which they knew were in the curate's
hands, they ordered him TO kneel that he
might be shot. They were about to
execute their cruel design when one OF
their comrades entered with the 300
ounces Of gold, which, after a long search,
he had found, together with some very
valuable arms. Thereupon they left.
Such was the terror they inspired nobody
dared give pursuit.

May On the Farm.

To the enterprising farmer every
month is busy month, but May is the
busiest Of them ALL 1t is seed time, and
future success depends upon the seeding
being done in proper time and manner
1t is the early seed which catches the
early rains, and gets a good start before
the droughts of summer appear. IN
many parts of New England the grasses
and English grains are already sown,
and wherever it has been too cold or
wet to SOW them, no time should now be
lost in getting them in, for our growing
season IS short at the longest. In this
respect our English cousins have greatly
the advantage of us, for they can SOW
their grains in March, and as their eli
mate is moist and cool the plants do not
shoot up slim and spindling as ours are
inclined to do, but stout and stocky, so
that the heads are large and heavy.
Scotchmen are inclined to laugh at our
light oats, and to think we SOW poor
seed, but find after a few years trial
that Scotch seed will degenerate to the
American standard under the influence
of our short, hot summer. The only
mode of counteracting this is to SOW
early.
Nav is emphatically the plowing and
planting month. We prefer to plant
potatoes in April, if the ground Is dry
enough as potatoes will stand quite a
frost when well covered, and the early
varieties, early planted, will mature be-
fore the bug can do them much damage.
Farmers should plant potatoes largely,
as they make better returns for labor
and fertilizers than any other hoed crop.
The average yield per acre by the state
census of 1875 was only los bushels-it
SHOULD be at least 200-but even at this
low average, the return was 81 more per
acre than that of corn, while the labor,
with proper management, Is much less.
The Early Rose variety IS still the most
popular in market, but farmers complain
that the yield is not up to former tunes.
Ii the aeed is procured from Maine, or
the northern portions of Vermont and
New Hampshire, and the land made
mellow and rich, we never have yet
failed of good crop of early rose There
are other varieties which farmers will do
well to test on a small scale, such as the
Early Vermont, the Burbank, the Beauty
of Hebron and the St. Patrick.
Corn is still favorite crop with New
