Sewing 9
Machine.

1t is an acknowledged fact that the
White Sewing Machine now stands pre-
eminent among frst-class MACHINES, for
its simplicity and light-running qualities.
1t is a mechanical fact that the White
Sewing Machine is made from the best
material and of excellent workmanship,
and all its wearing parts are adjustable,
50 that lost motion can be 'taken up' in
an instant.
1t is an undisputed fact that the dura-
bility Of the White Sewing Machine is
sustained by written warranty for five
years.
1t is progressive fact that the White
embodies the most practical and useful
improvements of other sewing machines,
together with advantages peculiarly it's
own.
1t is money-making fact that the
White is the easiest-seling selling ma
chine in the market, and therefore all
Wide-awake dealers make it their speciality.
1t is a gratifying fact that the White
gives universal satisfaction, and that it is
steadily and rapidly increasing in public
favor.

MUFFINs.-To one quart of milk add
two eggs well beaten, lump of butter
half the size of an egg, and flour enough
to make stiff batter. Stir in half pint
of yeast. Let them stand until perfect
Iy light, and then bake on griddle, in
tin rings.
LAYER CAKE.-Take the whites of
three eggs, two cupfuls of butter, one
cupful of sweet milk, one teaspoonful of
soda, two teaspoontuls cream tartar and
three teacupfuls of flour. This will
make two cakes. Take half and bake
it in layers for jelly cake; the other in
q common cake tin. Flavor them alike
or differently.
SCOTCH STEw.-Cut cold mutton into
thin slices, taking care to remove the
gristle; skin the sinew that may adhere

pan the pieces wanted for a stew; pour
over them little gravy that has been
boiled with very little thyme and q
few pepper corns; add few drops of

THE SEA OF GALILEE.-- Some curious
researches of a geological character have
been made lately by M. Lortet in the
Lake of Gennesaret, the Biblical Sea of
Galilee The level of the lake being 600
or 700 feet below that of the Mediter.
ranean, it was interesting to find out
whether the present or past fauna in the
lake resembled that of the larger inland
sea. In this way M. Lortet hoped to
show that at some far distant period
there had been a communication with
the Mediterranean, which communica-
ton had been severed by geological con-
vulsiOn. The greatest depth was found
near where the River Jordan enters in
to it. Strange to say, on the banks and
highlands surrounding the lake the
same round stones were found showing
a sea abrasion. and at that exact eleva-
ton which to day belongs to the Medi-
terranean level, showing that at some
former period the level of the Sea of
Tiberias and the Mediterranean were
the same. There are, according to M.
Lortet, forty-two different kinds of fish
in the lake of which seven belong to tie
species known as clr0nais. One family
of this kind presented the curious trait
of Matching its young in its mouth, and
for that act was very appropriately
named cIronais p0ter ;fdnaiLids. But be-
yond the fish, ten mollusks, two tor
tOises. crab, and shrimp were the
only living organisms. The abundance
oil the fish was remarkable. Two cast
ings of the net usually filed M. Lortet's
boat.-N. Y. Times.

let it dry on it then wash and boil out

IN MEMORY OF LITTLE "cHARLIE."
BY ELCIE.

b
Ger the green mountains the rising sun.
Foretells beautiful MORN
Ere those sunbsams shine forth tomorrow
Our darling will be gone.
Death will end thy patient suffering,
And claim thy soul undefled,-
Yet humbly we pray to God, If tits 'Thy will,
Spare our precious child.
For five lone summers thy gentle life
Has made sad hours bright;
Thy sweet sunny face. and cheering voice
Have been our hearts delight.
Now, as fading flower thou seemeth-
Thy pale lips feebly mourn,
Angels wait, to bear thee ''o'er the river"
To thy golden home.
Loving parents are tenderly watching
Ger their lovely, only boy,
While "hovering angels" softly whisper:
"In Heaven there'll be joy"
Pure Spirit, tits gone! to its makers throne,
One faint struggle, twas free.
DearJ Jesus in pity said. "suffer little
Children to come unto me-"
Oh, God! look down in mercy upon
His fathers aching heart,
And hear his weeping mothers prayer
To them, consolation impart.
King David's hope should now arise.
That we can go to him,
TITS wicked to wish his innocent soul
Back to this world OF sin.
Lonely sisters oftimes now you'll miss
Dear little brothers love-
When years bring sorrow. then you'll know
That he's better off above.
Weep not. he's gone to meet his brothers
On that beautiful Shore
He'll wear golden crown, and with angels
Glorify God, evermore.
Keep your little hearts pure and clean,
Let them no sin contain,-
When Jesus calls you, you'll meet
Your angel brothers again.
Twas God. who gave US his little spirit,
Twas He who call'd it away
We're blind to blessings and murmur,-
But God knows best Away.
Through the twilight, like glistening tears,
A thousand stars appear
Like footsteps upon the threshold tell
Friends are gathering here.
All! tomorrow the BELLS mournful toll!
In the dark grave he'll lay!
"Dust unto DUST" the Lord commanded;
His Will we must obey.

THE E YPTIAN OBELIsK.-The
Egyptian Obelisk which was presented
to the United States by Ismael, Khe-
dive of Egypt, which was quarried at
Syene, and erected at Heliopolis by
Thosmes III, and transported to and
regretted at Alexandria under Angus
tus, and then removed to New York
through the liberality of w. H. Van
derbilt by the skill of Lieut.. Com. H.
H. Gorringe, o. S. n, was formally
presented to the city Of New York on
the 22nd ofsFebruary the presentation
address being delivered by Hon. VIM.
M. Evarts, and the reception address by
Mayor Grace.
In concluding his address, Mr.. Evarts
said that the obelisk stood where Pha-
raoh's daughter beard the wall of the
infant in the bulrushes-the infant wall
of the greatest lawgiver the world ever
saw-Moses of the Ten Commandments
Moses whose influence on the morals
of nations will outlast the obelisk. Born
also after the obelisk was hewn-born
in theneighboring and subject province
of Palestine-was another infant and
the name of the Savior has been a pow
er over nations and principalities, and
the power of the religion of Christ will
survive all human governments. Mr..
Evarts went on to say that he does not
despair of popular government, and in
closing he said the obelisk mightA
Can you expect the soft folds of luxu-
ry to wrap themselves closer and clo-
ser and your nation to know no decrep
itude? And will your nation last ?"
These, he said, are the questions the
obelisk may ask, but not now.

The Drift OF Politics.

We publish this week the address of
the Conservative State Committee, and
invite the attention of our readers to it.
A convention of the party will be held
on the 4th of August to nominate candi-
dates for Governor, Lieutenant Cow
ernor and Attorney General, and to
frame a platform upon which they will
stand for the next pitched battle
Whether that battle is to be made a.
gainst the Republicans and Readjusters
in separate columns, or against their
combined forced, the future will de-
velop. Since the visit of ex-senator
Lewis to Mentor, and his conference
W it'll Garfield, the Republican leaders
who have so stoutly maintained the ne
cessity of independent party organize
ton, and as stoutly denounced any coali-
deepest dye, begin to show signs OF
weakening, and it will not surprise US
to see them yielding to the pressure
which will be brought to bear upon
them in the interest of Malone and his
faithful allies" The ''unterrified Dem
ocracy" will not quail before such q
the simple reason that the Readjuster

element of their party when the Repub-
lican design in the co operative cam
paign il fully understood. What that
design is, is fully developed by Mr..
Lewis. and its object set forth in un.
mistakable terms. 1.-THE tendency OF
the Readjusters." he says, lis now SO
clearly towards the Republican party
that unless repulsed by selfish poll
ticians they will inevitably draw up
within it's ranks" What do the Dem
ocratic Readjusters who voted for Han
cock and English think of that PROPOSE
tion? Are they prepared to verify the
prophecy by uniting in an unholy ALI
ance which is to repeal the capitation
tax with view to the enfranchisement
of forty or fifty thousand colored voters,
and thus insure the State to the Repub
licans in 1884? We hardly think that
in the face of this open avowal of q
prominent Republican Readjuster thai
the purpose of the Republicans who con-
sort with Malone is nothing more nor
less than the absorption of the Demo
cratic Readiusters and the supremacy Of
Radicals in Virginia, those staunch and
unflinching Democrats who stood by
the party in the last National Contest
can be induced by anybody to fall back
into the Malone ranks and be mustered
into the service for the coming cam
paign. Charlottesville Chronicle.
