GENERAL MAHoSE's Washington organ

the whole influence Of the Administration
to Mahonesm in Virginia, gives his reasons
therefor, and enlarges upon the question

But why it devotes so much space to so plain
a subject is hard totell. Everybody knows
that president Arthur has given the whole

How They Behave Under Ground in
Mines and Tunnels.

Mules seem to be more useful about
mining operations than horses. In
running an arastra a mule is much
better than horses. He will get sly
and shrink work if he can by going
very slowly, but may be encouraged
by rocks and other missiles to quicken
his pace He will stand this tread
mill work well, and thrive on it,
while the nobler animal will wear
out.
Under ground the mule is preferable
in many ways, and these animals are
generally used there instead of horses.
They are intelligent, and if they fall
and are entangled, are apt to lie quiet
ly while being released, instead of
kicking and thrashing about to their
own iajury, as horse will do. Some
people have prejudice against them,
alleging their tendency to kick, but
under ground they do not seem to do
that, whatever may be the case above.
They become very tame when under
ground. Mr.. Sutro describes those in
use at the famous tunnel, as having
become the miners pets. He says the
men become attached to them, and as
the shaft mules pass along by the men
at lunch, edibies are given them.
When signal is given to fire a blast
the mules understand the signal, and
will try to get out of the way of it
just as the men do OF course, the
mules become accustomed to the dark
ness, and in going out into the sun
light can not see very well, and when
they go back from the sunlight into
the tunnel they can not see at all. At
the Sutro Tunnel they are in the habit
of covering one eye of the mule until
they 60 into the tunnel again. when
the cloth Is removed, So they have one
good eye to see with This plan had
to be adopted because the mule is so
stubborn that he will not pull unless
he can see his way ahead. At this
place another thing was found out
about mules. They tried horses at
first, but found that whenever any
thing touched the ears of a horse he
would throw up his nose and knock
his head against the roof; but if you
touch a mules ears he drops his head.
The horses We're given up, and mules
answered very well.

FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.

Oatmeal cookies combine many
good qualities, and will be relished by
children. Make them just like an
ordinary sugar cooky, using two
thirds oatmeal and one-third wheat
flour
A little time and trouble used in re-
moving the seed from grape sauce will
pay large interest. After the grapes
have cooked sufficiently so that the
seeds separate readily from the sauce
through a calendar, then with spoon
remove the seeds as far as possible,
put the skins back with the juice to
cook until they are soft, and skim off
any seeds that rise to the top.
Cranberry pudding is made by pour
ing boiling water on "A pint of dried
bread crumbs: melt tablespoonful of
butter and stir in. When the bread is
softened add two eggs, and beat thor
Oughly with the bread Then pat in
pint of the stewed fruit and sweeten
to your taste Bake in hot oven for
half an hour Fresh fruit may be used
in place of the cranberries. Slices of
peaches put in in layers make deli
ClOuS variation.
Sauce for common fruit pudding
is nice made of one cup of sugar, an
even tablespoonful of flour, and one
of butter. Mix to cream, pour boil
ing water over this, and stir until
there are no Jumps; then put on the
stove, and keep there until it is cook
ed, say. for ten or even fifteen minu-
tns t'laSrnp II ,rl
a large spoonful of molasses to give it
a rich brown color.
A mixture which is excellent for re-
moving grease-spots and stains from
carpets and clothing is made of two
ounces of amonia, two ounces of white
CASTLE soap, one ounce of glycerine,
one ounce of ether; cut the soap fine.
dissolve in one pint of water over the
fire; add two quarts of water This
should be mixed with water in the
proportion of a teacupful to one
ordinary sized pail of water Mix
thoroughly, and wash soiled garments
in it. For removing spots use a sponge
or clean flannel cloth, and with dry
cloth rub as dry as possible Wooden
goods may be made to look bright and
fresh by beng sponged with this.
Barley soup is excellent if the stock
is sufficiently rich. To make it so cut
three slices of bacon and two pounds
of the neck of veal in small pieces;
put them III saucepan or small ket
tie with pint of water. Let this sim
mer for three quarters of an hour,
then add one small onion, carrot,
two stalks of celery, a bouquet of
herbs, half teaspoonful of black
pepper, a teaspoonful of salt and two
quarts of water. Let this boil for at
least two hours. then take from the
fire, and when cold remove the fat or
scum from the top, strain the soup
and put it on the fire, and add pint
of barley which has been washed and
soaked in cold water for three hours
at least There should be pint of the
barley after it is soaked. This is the
proper proportions for two quarts of
soup.

GETTING DRUNK ON C4TSUP.
4 Sad Picture I'm the Troy Police
Court.

A very sad picture of domestic life
was seen in the police court the other
day Morris Hickney, an industrious
and sober man, appeared against his
wife Bridget. and charged her with
being an habitual drunkard He said
it seemed impossible for her to let in
toxicating drink alone, and that it had
made him miserable and his home I'M
happy. In appearance Mrs Hickey,
who was neatly dressed, seemed mod
est and intelligent. She pleaded with
her husband and with the court against
being sent to Jail, saying it would kill
her. Il am your wife, Morris, and
have no one in the world but you.
Don't send me to jail, please don't :"
she beggec. Justice Jennyss said he
had administered the pledge to her
last Sunday, and asked her husband
if she had broken it. Mr.. Hickey said
she had, and was intoxicated last
night.
mo, l was not, replied his wife.
I'll 60 down on my knees before you,
Justice, and swear I'll never touch a
drop again. l did not drink ale. wine,
liquor or any thing Intoxicating since
| took the pledge. All l drank was
catsup, and but few mouthfuls of
that.
The court said it was very sorry,
but the only way to cure her of the
old habit was by placing her where
she could not get liquor, and she was
sentenced to Jail for thirty DAYS.
