ScoTcH CAKEs.-Scotch cakes are eco
nomical, SO far as eggs are concerned, and
If made with care will melt in the mouth of
children. To one pound of -four add half
pound of butter, and quarter of pound of
sugar; let the butter stand in a basin near
the fire to soften, but not melt when soft
rub it and the -four together; then knead in
the sugar. Roll out in sheet half an inch
thick; cut out cakes about two inches
square; bake until they are light brown.
Put them away ia stone jar, and they will
in day or two gather moisture enough to
be soft.

Harsh Grooming.

1t is very common thing among horses
that are what is called well-groomed, to be
cross in the stable, and it is no uncommon
thing TO see this disposition carried into the
street. Particularly do we find this fault in
nearly every horse that is kept for speed;
hence we are led to the conclusion that the
ill-,emper is caused largely by the harsh use
Of the currying tools. As evidence Of the
truth of this, we notice that celebrated
Maud s., has a very kind disposition, and
that those in charge of her are under posi-
tive instruction from her trainer, to use no
grooming implements that will irritate the
skin. The fact that race horses are the best
sroomed and at the same time invariably
cross, is conclusive TO our mind that the
fault is in the harsh manner ofgrooming
them. We often find horses that will stand
perfectly quiet to be scratched with the fin
gers. in fact, become perfectly docile when
moment the currying comb is applied, they
become restless, and often require secure
fastening while being curried. During the
past two or three years we have had two
horses that when We first got them would
jump all over the barn at the touch of the
curryoomb, and vet would stand perfectly
quiet to he rubbed with a wisp Of ha, or the
brush, yet by carefully handling the curry
comb on them we were in short time able
to curry every part Of them. There is no
doubt many a good disposi,ioned animal
has had his disposition spoiled by attempt
ing to clean the mud off his limbs with
sharp currycomb. Under no circumstances
should this be done; if the weather is too
cold 10 admit of washing when soft, allow it
to dry and then rub with wisp Of hay or
coarse cloth; old cunny sacks are best

Fellow Citizens:
At the annual meeting of the Executive

Perilous days when the National unity and exist
ence were assailed by organized and armed rebel
lion; 1t did much for the preservation of the Union
1t has continued to exist and been active in every
important political contest since the close of the
civil war; it lives to-day and looks with no small
anxiety and hope into the future. Therefore.
Resolved, first, That earnestly indulge the hone
that any differences which have heretofore existed
in the Republican party shall be speedily terminate
ed, go that all embittered feelings may cease and
the Of the party be secured in the future as
in the past.
ResOlUed, second. That we earnestly recommend
that the appropriate representative committees Of
the party meet at such time and places as they may
select, and consider what plans methods can be
adopted to produce permanent peace and prosperity
in the Republican party.
Resolved, third, That we call upon the masses Of
the Republican party throughout all the States of
this Union to stand together in support of the princi
pies of the Republican party and to labor together
at the primary meetings, at the conventions, and,
finally, at the polls. to aid the party to secure har-
monious action, perfect organization and ultimate

One of the benefcient achievements of the

ton of its forces in behalf of the dumb ami
mails. Mr.. Firth has drawn from many
sources-ancient as well as modern-selec-
tons in prose and verse, pleading

Were we disposed to criticize we should
say that he had been too tolerant in his
choice of selections; but this very tolerance
has insured something for every taste. He
has included the best, and it remains for
teachers and parents to choose from the col
lection those that will impress most agreea-
ably upon the minds of children the lesson
of love and care for the lower creatures.

The Presidents trip from Louisville to
Chicago Thursday took him through the
State of Indiana from end TO end, and all the
way there were marked demonstrations of
respect and enthusiasm. There were no
ceremonious receptions and no speeches;
but the people gathered at the railway sta
tions where the train was to stop in large
numbers and testified their feelings by cheer
ing and other informal means. The crowd
which met him in Chicago was very large
and enthusiastic. From that city he starts
on his tour to the far West in search of that
relaxation and recreation which Presi-
dent not less than other Woodworking and
care-burdened men needs. He will for a sea-
son get beyond the crowd of starers and the
persistent reporter, and be free to enjoy
himself unrestrained by the rules of society
etiquette, and unpestered by politicians.
