Brother VANGELDER of the LeRaySyille
AdceytjSer has visited the poor house and
has this to say in regard to it:

ING of gratitude came over us as we recalled
the great interest taken in humanity here cX-
hibited in money generously Spen t. provide
such an excellent home for those who cannot

ant to know that our county is composed of
a class of people who by their votes have
made ample provision to care for their poor,
oquG, if not quite us we'll as Il majority Of the
families who pay taxes to support it.
On entering the premises, we met our Old
friends, Alden Keyes and ). w. Moscrip, the
master workmen upon the buildings, also
Commissioner Daniel Bradford. who has Civ

sonal supervision. After nights rest and Il
good breakfast in the morning we were shown

wide hall running the whole length ana seat

these rooms are single beds resting on iron
bedSteads. Bath rooms are also Cnnncctcd
and are frequently used by the inmates-hcnce
the cleanliness of their persons and the rooms
they occupy. The east wing Is 4lNSl, and Is
similarly arranged and occupied by the fe-
males. In this department IL day school is
kept for the instruction of the children The
basement is used in the different departments

for the benefit of the occupants. In the rear
of the main buildings is the one constructed
for the insane. 1t is neat, substantial built
and well arranged, and is being enclosed by Il
high substantial fence to prevent the escape
Of the inmates.
The number Of persons received up to last

eral of the International Cotton Expo
sition, to be held il Atlanta in October,
is in New York making final arrange
ments for getting the Exposition ma
chinery in motion. In reply to report
er he said: "There is now not the
slightest doubt that the Exposition will
be a success in every sense of the word.
After careful survey of the situation we
decided that 100000 was necessary to
get everything in proper shape. OF this
amount SS5, ,O00 was allotted to Atlanta,
and our friends in the North said that if
Atlanta would subscribe that much they
would do the rest. We opened the
books in Atlanta, and in one hour the
amount needed was subscribed. | have
now come to New York to get the sub
scriptions of those interested here in the
enterprise. Three subscribers in this
city have given about $4,000, and |
have no fears that we will get all that is
needed. 1t is the belief of those who are
conversant with the prospect that the
receipts at the gates ana for privileges
will be enough to pay back the subs scrip
ton in full with probable profit"

Shot With Water.

Amusing incidents sometimes occur
during the heat of an engagement,
which causes even the fighters to pause
and smile. During the fight between
the Confederate ram Albemarle and the
Union vessels, the following incident
happened, which illustrates the power
of imagination: The ram had fired
shot, which,ricoche:ted across our deck,
carrying with it stream Of the cold
water of the Sound. An officer COM
manding division heard the report,
the whistle of the shot, standing with
his back to the ram. The water with
considerable force, struck the gentle
man on the back of the neck, running
and trickling down his back. With a
yell he threw up his hands, murmured,
" My God! I'm shotr' and tainted dead
away. | witnessed the entire incident,
assisted to remove him to the cockpit,
and when the engagement was over, told
the affair to .ne mess.

FARM AND PRESIDE.

Throw .shovelful of manure
around the old plants of raspberry,
blackberry, grapes and currants. II
they have borne two or three years 1t
will help the fruiting for another sea-
son. Trim out all old raspberry and
blackberry wood and burn.
If you wish to frost the top of
cake and not the sides, and are troubled
by the frosting running over on the
sides, take a piece of writing paper and
pin around the cake; set the cake in the
heater back of the oven, or, if the oven
is not too warm, it may be set in there
for a few minutes to harden.
Lice are one of the greatest drains
upon the vitality of stock, and it is sur
prising that so many allow their stock
to become and remain lousy. Carbolic
acid and soft soap, made in a strong
suds, or kerosene and lard are perhaps
as good as anything, But the remedy
must be applied two or three times
thoroughly, tosucceed in exterminating
them.
The New York San says, in regard
to the value of corn cObs for feeding
purposes, that they are not worth the
cost of grinding. Analysis shows that
they contain considerable nutritive mat
ter. but it is doubtful if the stomach of
animals can extract it from such hard,
woody materials as corn cobs. They
may help to fill up and distend the
stomach and intestines, and that is all.
Those who keep sheep should
place salt in some place accessible daily
to the sheep. 1t is said that in Spain,
whenever sheep are kept in the neigh
borhood of rock salt hills or sea salt,
and have access to it, they thrive bet
ter than in other situations, and IN
France the same thing is found to exist
in the neighborhoOd of the coast and
the salt works of the north; sheep give
more and better wool and the mutton is
more highly esteemed than that from
other localities.
Election Cake.-One pound of but,
ter, one pound of sugar, one pound OF
flour, two pounds of raisins, two pounds
of currants, one pound of citron, twelve
eggs, one cup OF molasses, one cup OF
cider, spice and grated peel of lemon
beat the butter and sugar, also the
eggs; stone and chop the raisins; wash
and dry the currants; cut the citron IN
strips After beating butter and sugar
together, add the eggs, then molasSes,
fruit, spice and flour. Bake in loaves
in q moderate oven. Is very nice, and
keeps fresh long time.
Rich Custard or Cream Cake
Three-fourths cupful butter, two cups
sugar, one and one-fourth pints -four,
five eggs, one teaspoonful baking pow
der, one cup milk. Rub the butter and
sugar to a white light cream, add the
eggs two at time, beating five minutes
between each addition. Then add the
milk. Sift the flour with the baking
powder and add it the last thing. Mix
this well, but not any more than is nee
essary. The sooner it is put into the
oven after the addition of the baking
powder and flour the better. Bake in
jelly tins, in hot oven fifteen minutes.

in a snow-storm; and after the Salt Lake
valley was reached, additional speed
became necessary to reach st. Joseph
ON time. From here all went well until
the Platte was to be crossed at Jules
burg. The river was up and running
rapidly, but the rider plunged his horse
into the flood, only, however, to mlre
in the quicksand and drown, The
courier succeeded in reaching the shore,
with his mailbag in hand, and travelled
ten miles on foot to reach the next re.
Law. Johnny Fry, a popular rider OF
his dav, was to make the finish. He had
sixty miles to ride, with SIX horses to
do it. When the last courier arrived at
the sixty-mile post, out from st. Joseph,
he was one hour behind time. A heavy
rain set in and the roads were slippery.
Two hundred thousand dollars might
turn upon a single minute. Fry had
lust three hours and thirty minutes IN
which to win. This was the finish for
the longest race, for the largest purse,
ever run in America When the time
for his arrival was nearly up, at least
five thousand people stood upon the
river bank, with eyes turned toward
the woods from which the horse and Its
rider should emerge into the open
country in the rear of Elwood-one
mile from the finish. Tick, tick, went
thousands of watches! The time was
nearly up! But nearly seven minutes
remained Hark! shout goes up from
the assembled multitude: "He comes!
he comes!" The noble little mare,
Sylph, the daughter of little Arthur,
darts like an arrow from the bow and
makes the run of the last mile in one
minute and fifty seconds-landing upon
the ferry-boat with five minutes and a
fraction to spare.-&. Joseph MOI

An indianapolis merchant drove
into town every morning, left his horse
in a livery stable, attended to business
until night, and then drove home. The
beast was by no means overworked in
this light service, yet it grew thin and
ill, as though from hard usage. The
owner at length discovered that it had
been hired out nearly every day by the
liveryman. A jury has awarded dam
ages to the amount of the money earned
