Mr.. GosLIN, in a subsequent letter, says ::
Having seen the letters of Mr.. James Fulton
in reference to the comparative worth of Or
chilla Guano and Ground Bone, it calls to
mind my observations of the use of Orchilla
upon the farm of my son, the late Thomas 81.
Goslin, ofLinkwood, Dorchester county, Md.
He used, should say, about 5 or 6 years
ago, 5 tons Orchilla Guano, and tons of pure
animal bone, (which cost him $45 per ton
CASH. He applied them side by side on the
same character of land, pound for pound alike,
say about 400 pounds per acre of each.
y Where he used Orchilla, he harvested q
bushels to the acre, and where he used bone,
he harvested IS bushels to the acre. The
year following the clover was at least 9inches
higher where he used 0rchilla. By the con.
tinued use of 0rchilla he made 'Linkwood,"
perhaps, the finest farm in Dorchester county.

A Western agriculturist recommends
new way of preserving fruit. 1t is
this: Stuff the skin of eat until il

Keep n cup of powdered borax on
your wash-stand; it will do wonders in
the way of softening the skin If you
have been working in the garden or do
ing things about the house which have
tended to make your hands rough, when
you wash them dip your fingers in the
borax and rub your hands well with it..
To make an excellent yermcelli soup,
boil leg of mutton for three hours; use
water enough to cover it. Season with
pepper and salt, add butter and herbs to
suit your taste. An hour before serv-
ing stir into it a cup of vermicelli. This
soup can be strained, if you wish it to be
clear, before you add the vermiceli
Have the tea-kettlc on the stove, full of

add to it from the tea-kette.
Oranged Strawberries: Place a layer
of strawberries in deep dish; cover the
same thickly with pulverized sugar;
then layer of berries, anil SO on until
all are used. Pour over them orange
juice in the proportion of three oranges
to quart of berries. Let stand for
an hour, and just before serving sprinkle
with pounded ice. Some use claret,

Literary Wares.

The late James T. Fields, while an ac-
tive partner in the firm of Ticknor G.
Fields, was waited upon by young SUI
gar merchant who had poetic aspira-
tons. The mercantile man complained
that his manuscript poems had been re-
jected by the firm, and he wanted to
know the reason why, inasmuch as all of
his friends had heard the verses read,
and unanimously declared them to be
accessions to American literature.
"Our reader decides that" said Mr.
Fields, in his blandest tones.
"Then would like to see the reader. "
Always the personifcation of amiahil-
ity himself, the publisher took the mer-
chant up stairs to the reader. That

The action of the House in boldly
opening the fostering sores of political
rottenness in the southern states and cx-
posing the rascality which has been
practiced in that section is already bear
ing its fruit in an increased activity all
along the line. The simple fact that in
as announced by the recent seating of
southern members who were buldozed
and cheated out Of their seats, has fur
nished n stiilcning to the backbone of
southern Republicans and Independents
that has been lacking foI several years
back The announcement that so long
as the Republicans control affairs at the
capitol the purity of the ballot box shall
be preserved inviolate, whether north or
south, will cause 4 revival of dropping
spirits, and with returning courage will
come n renewed struggle for the control
Of those states which have been wrested
from the hands Of the majority by means
of tissue ballots and fraudulent counts.
The action Of the house has struck terror
into the hearts Of the southern BULLDOG
ers. They see the emancipation coming.
The solid front which was preserved in
tact by the gag law has become cracked
and is slowly tottering to its fall. AL
though long in waiting the right is APP
proaching the triumphal arch in which
the Republican party will soon place the
keystone Of pure ballot.
The Bourbon leaders are awakening
to the understanding that however much
they may tcrrorize the Republicans at
home they cannot bulldoze Republican
congressman into allowing their rotten
work to pass unnoticcd. The hand
writing on the wall is growing visibly
clearer. So plain, in fact, Lat the most
ncar-Siglted Bourbon can read, but the
knowledge does not appear to bring
that balm to the soul that might be cx-
pectod.

Well, whenever she wishes to express
an opinion upon any subject, either pri-
vately or in public, she makes herself
practically the master, as far as possible.
of experiments and experiences, giving
her nearly absolute knowledge in the
matter.
Some years ago she was interested in
the subject of intemperance. First she
read up the subject thoroughly from a
scientific, ethical and social standpoint.
Then she secured male attire and pass
ed days and nights, not only in the fash
ioDable resorts of vice and intemper-
ance, but in and about the lowest dens
and dives of New York and Philadelphia.
Not satisfied with seeing all that could
be seen of drunkenness and its results,
she concluded to 90 TO work systemati-
cally and get drunk herself.
At this time she was boarding at the
Continental, in the latter city. She got
one or two confidential friends in hel
room, arranged to have a physician
within call, and then, ordering liquors,
set about getting chock full in most
methodical fashion.
First she drank freely of the lighter
wines. These had no effect upon her,
when she resortcd to stronger liquors
She drank on until she had taken about
everything from claret to straight ''old
Crow and enough altogether to have
sent dozen registering Scotchmen un-
table. Still she was not drunk. All Of
a sudden, however, Miss Anna jumped
up four feet in the air, clasped her head
in her hands wildly, and gave a very
wOmanly sort of shrek.
The doctor was Immediately called
and declared that one glass more o.

No human mind is contented without
occupation. No human soul is without
an aim or purpose in life. The greatest
success in life consists not in the mere
accumulation Of riches, but in being able
to acquire wealth with o disposition to
apply it in such a manner that it shall
be comfort and blessing to others-not
in the mere giving away of money, but
In putting people In a way to labor and
help thems Gives There is no pleasure
in oppression. There is no q asure in
grinding and exacting gold from the
poor; but there is great deal of genuine
satisfaction in being able to effer steady
and honorable employment to the many
willing hands that have nothing to do.
One of the greatest enjoyments of the
prosperous business man consist in being
able to comfortably provide for the many
employees in his house or manufactory.
In doing this he is fulfilling his obliga-
ton to society he becomes useful and
honored citizen; business to him is
real pleasure he enjoys his successes,
when they are fairly won, because he
feels that re deserves them.
When business man has the right
kind of purpose in life he always enjoys
his occupation. He feelsa just and worthy
pride in his prosperity, he is pleased
with the respect and gratitude Of those
whom he directs and controls in the
management of his affairs, and he feels

Now if this be true and the temperance
people do hold the majority claimed,
and had done their duty it is easy of de-
monstration that they would have chos-
EN- such Legislators as would have been
in full sympathy with their movement.
Not having done this they are reduced
to one or the other of two hypotheseses
either they as a party, are in a large
minority or they have not done their
duty.
If the first is accepted how are we to
justify it with the confident statements
made as TO the strength of the temper
ance movement, if the second then they
are advocating secession from = party
for doing just what they have them
selves failed to do-ther duty
There has never, from the first, been
any organized attempt to elect such
men as regular party candidates as were
in sympathy with the prohibition move
ment, but instead, the leaders stand one
side and wait until the procession is
formed then step in with the request
that they be allowed to run it coupled
with the threat that in case of refusal
they will knife the animals and smash
the band wagon into eternal flinders.
Such course is neither logical or defen-
sible neither fair MOI honorable. Puri-
fication Of diseased blood comes not
from salyes rubbed on the outside but
from remedies applied internally. Much
more can be accomplished within the
party ranks that from guerilla prac-
tice from behind rail fences and trees.
The cry is not "wait'' but WORK.
There was never less reason for third
party than there is to day. All the tenn
perance legislation, all the assistance
the prohibition movement has every had
has come entirely from the Republican
party. That party furnishes nine-tenths
of what speakers are fond Of styling "thC
temperance army" In fact this point
is admitted by Mr.. Parker himself when
he says the object of the third party
leaders is to show that they have as
many votes as the ''liquor element" and
enough to defeat the Republican candid
ates II this is moi so and were recruits
drawn equally from both sides such
showing would result in nothing but II
whiting down of majorities on both
sides
Allowing therefore, which but few will
have the hardhood to deny, that the
temperance or prohibition element
draws the major portion of its strength
from the Republican side, good faith and
honesty would alike urge the effort of
publication from within rather than de-
moliton from without. Admitting the
all Importance of the temperance adj
hitting everything claimed by the most
ardent prohibitionist as to the necessity
for immediate action, they still lack a
valid excuse for breaking away from a
party to whom they are indebted for
past benefits and within the lines OF
which concentrated effort would much
sooner bring success than through the
means of any amount of third parties
