[Fron Cassells Household Guide.l
The most profitable joint which can possibly
be bought for the use of a household is the top
side of the round of beef. 1t is not a cheap
joint, but it can be used all through, and not a
particle need be wasted. If the meat is of
good quality, is carefully cooked, and well
basted, it is tender and juicy. If carelessly
cooked, it will be dry and hard. Thick flank
of beef and the leg of mutton piece Of beef are
also profitable. The thin end of the flank and
the brisket and the aitch bone of beef cost less
per pound, but they are dear because there is
so much waste with them, especially for chill
dren, who will not eat fat and gristle. A sir
loin of beef is an excellent joint, but it is gen.
orally and rightly considered an expensive
one. Yet it may be used so as to turn it to
very good account. Unless there is family
weakness for fat, it should pever be cooked
with the flap on. Rather the flap should be
cut straight off, then salted and boiled, pressed
and glazed, when it is excellent. Or little
OK kidney and few timed oysters should be
put with it, and it should be made into pie,
when it will be delicious The 'housekeeper,
when purchasing srloin of beef, will do well
to think of this way of using the flap, and buy
joint weighing pound or two more for the
purpose of trying it. She may tins obtain a
better cut, and will certainly reap an advan-
tage. Sometimes the under cut of sirloin is
taken out and cooked separately, like rump
steak. Cold roast sirloin is, however, 50 excel
lent that it is questionable whether the plan is
good one. When a sirloin of beef is no long
er fit to be brought to the table, there is al
ways great deal of meat on it which can be
used for rissoles, croquettes sausage rolls, Cor
nish pasties, shepherds pie, ETC., and there is
fat which can be rendered down for dripping.
tie, and are very good if stewed long and gent
ly OF this nature are the roll of the blade
bone of beef, the muscle of the leg of beef and
the scrag end of neck of mutton. Meat of
this kind should be stewed gently for a long
time, five or six hours. 1t will then be found
excellent, and will supply cheap and good din
ners at trifing cost.

ASSISTANT SECRETARY of State Hit has
not attempted, as was reported, to outline
the policy of the government in regard to
Hartmann, the Nihilist. The interview in
which he was said to have done so was
much padded" "Why, see they have
made me make quite a Speech" said the
the correspondent only for moment, and
declined to say what the government would
do in the case. He asked if there was any
laws or practice governing cases of this
class, and 1 answered his inquiry by citing
several well known and universally accepted
articles of international law, some of them
as old as the Roman empire. That is all
there was to the interview"

A Premonition.
A Clergyman's Secs the President Shot
Three Days Before the Event.


The Rev. D. P. Lindsey of No. i44 East
Fifty-seconI street, a minister of the Presbyts-
rian church in good standing, now engaged in
the publishing business at No. 81 Park Row,
told Sun reporter last night a curious story
of his wife's premonition of the Presidents as
sassinatien:
'NIy wife," said Mr.. Lindsey, chad been
sick year. She died on Thursday OF last
week. Opiates were employed to relieve her
sufferiDgs, and she often talked incoherently.
On the night of the third dag before the Pres
ident was assassinated 1 was sitting by her
bedside while she was slee?in.. She awoks,
apparently in some degree OF excitement, and
exclaimed
"'Why President Garfield is shot!'
." tried to calm her, and .old her she had
probably been dreaming. When her sister
Annie took my place al the bedside Mrs Linds-
ley repeated the same thing to ner. Annie
| says Mrs. Lindsey said:
is not President Garfield shot?'
No. replied Annie.
Il am certain he is shot, because was thers
and saw it, continued Mrs. Lindsey.
You must have been 5reaminr,' said An. d..
No; l was there and saw it. This she re-
peated several times, and added / said to
the ladies who were there; Tie VIII die, will
he not?" and the ladies replied, "Oh, no; he
will get weli.''
On the third day after this occurrence, when
the news OF the assassination of the President
was taken to the sick room, Mrs Lindsey die
not appear surprised. but said: Il knew il
three days ago" And thon she repeated wha.
she had before related about what her convex
sstion was with tho ladies. During her III
ness Mrs. Lindsey frequently astonished her
attendants By her knowledge OF what was 70
ing on In the house. Once she asked for som
chicken which she said was in the back room
and which she had neither soen nor heard OF
Another time she called for some candy whica
had been brought into the house without hsf
knowledge There were other examples Of he r
wonderful knowledge OF what was said and
done in the house, all OF which Mr.. Lindsley
| is unable to account for. He says his wife had
no waking thoughts that she told Of thai
would account for such dream. She had only
the common interest about the President and
had not been talking about him or about as
sassination

1T is remarkable coincidence" says the
Boston Commercial Bulletin ''that the ex-
cess of imports over exports of specie and
bullion for the last two years amounted to
S167,06O,041, while the excess of domestic
and foreign exports over imports of mer-
chandise for the year 1S79-S0 was $167 $685.
9l2. We start the current fiscal year with a
trade balance of S16S, So, ,604 in our favor;
we are on the eve of further im2ortations of
gold, and it is now unlikely that our mer-
chandise imports, which were S35, 800, 900
less last year than they were the year be-
fore, will be further diminished. Thus we
shall keep the gold we have, add to our store
and enjoy further period of prosperity"

[St. John (Newfoundland) Correspondence OF the

The wife Of Jacob Squires, resident Of .
distant "outport", where school-masters were
scarce, applied to the parson for the baptism Of
her baby-the tenth, as it turned out to be. for
our fishermen as q rule are blessed with large,
or, as they expressively put it, 'heavy" IA mi
lies. The good lady explained to the parson
that her skipper" had gone to Labrador, and
had left express orders that on the arrival of
No. 10, II girl, she was to be christened by
the name of "Hyena.'' The parson was start
led and shocked at the idea Of labelling An in
FAINT with such a dreadful name, and told the
mother that she must have made a mi stake,
and that it would never do to give the name
of beast of prey to a Christian child. Mrs.
Squires persisted in saying that there was no
mistake, and that she dare not diverge fro m
the order Of her skipper. After much psrsua-
sion he induced her to defer the baptism till

the parson and explained that his "old wo-

ONE of the clergymen who investigated
Shepherd Cowley's case, the Rev. DR.. Null
cahey, has letter in the Churchman de-
Tending the committees report. His points
are, that the committe acted rightly under
the canons in hearing both sides of the case,
and that if, after making this re-investiga-
ton, they had presented Cowlcy, --the pre-
sentiment would have carried with it such
an overwhelming presumption of guilt as
to deprive him of any fair chance of an ac-
quittal at the hands of an ecclesiastical
court. For his part, the Rev. DR.. Mulca-
hey thinks it better the Protestant Episcopal
church should suffer wrong than do wrong,
