The rule in making soup is one quart of
water 10 every pound Of meat. AS the water
boils il should be frequently skinned until
the coarse particles that arise are removed,
when the pot should be covered and allowed TO
stand where its contents may simmer gently
for several hours
When the meat is thoroughly done remove
il. and allow the soup 10 stand until cool, when
the fat viii harden at the top. This should
be removed and the vegetables added, simply
for favors, IN very small quantities. Two or
three potatoes, one onion. one parsnip, two Or
three slices Of cabbage, &C., are sufficient.
Ii is the delicate blending Of flavors, where
one cannot be distinguished from the other,
that produce the best effects. Potatoes. t0ma-
toes turnips, bects, onions, celery, parsley,
Chill sauce catsups, toasted bread or burnt
sugar. are ali suitable for soup fiayors
little rice or parsley is TO he preferred 60

Nice soups can be made from fragments OF
/ cold meat, roast beef or steak.

Louisa Morris. North Branch Kan, he's often
heard her father tell about the battle of
Allatoona Pass, near Atlanta, Ga, where Sher-
man had his rations piled up previous to his
march through Georgia. Her papa served
three years ia company II, 39th Iowa, which
was brigaded with the 37th and the 7th Illi-

watches eagerly for THE TRIBUNE, every word
OF which she reads.
Wesley Brewers father, who lives at Toledo,
H., served three years in company K, 36th
Indiana, and was at the battles of Stone River
and Chickamauga. Comrade Brewer says that
he saw the deer mentioned in Mrs. Sherwood's
poem, recited ut the Army of the Cumberland
Reunion at Toledo, which incident was related
to her by a comrade of the 21st o. " /. Three
months after the battle of Chickafnauga his
brigade was detailed to bury the dead on the
Tecaptured battlefield which had been trodden in
the dust by army trains and soldiers. The road
was lined with the dead headless, limbless and
trunkiess. Ifany comrade recalls this circum-
stance he would like him to write it up, as he
has seen no history of it, Gen Cross, who
commanded the brigade, and lives at New

Z'HE Democratic national platform
has a tariff plank. On that plank
Randall Is elected to congress In Penn
sylvania and Mills Is elected to con-
gress in Texas. No Democratic pa
per tells them It is dIsloyal to discuss
the tariff because Blaine Is in the field
on high. protectivetaritI platform,
and yet Mills Is opposed to Blaine's
views and Randall Is opposed to Mills
views. The Houston Post, however,
says the lease law Is left to the legisla.
ture, but that 1t is disloyal to discuss
the measure, 10 the end that men may
vote their preferences in these legis-
lative contests. II the Post says men

Two seorat Marr;sres.

From an equitable view, MIR. Blaine
has no cause OF action against the IT,
dianapolis newspaper which he is SUI
ing for libel. According to the tenor
OF his confession he has never been
married publicly, though twice we'd
ded to his present wife 10 secret. His
first marriage, in 1850, was clandestine,
and was never revealed TO the world
until given out in his letter to Phelps,
which Is just now published. Then,
as he says, learning that there was
doubt as to the validity OF that mar
riage in Kentucky, and wishing to
avoid ''all embarrassment resulting
from our position" he was remarked
to his wife in Pennsylvania in 1851
This second performance of the
marriage rites was also secret,
as he says, "belng kept from
the public for obvious reasonsn So
that, though twice united to one wife,
the public was excluded from any
knowledge of either marriage, and had
no evidence oil any marriage except
the acknowled yment of each other as
husband aud wife. Under the cir
cumstances Mfr. Blaine should not be
allowed damages against news
paper for publishing facts as
they appeared 70 the world. He is
responsible for the concc llment OF the
facts as now published, which the
Indianapolis paper had no means of
knowing. He would have been spared
much pain and shame If in the
beginning he had not hid his marriage.
The man who departs from the straight
path Of honorable and open conduct
will live TO pay the penalty Of HE
indiscretion.

A NatiOual Cattle Trail.
Texas Live stock Jourpal.


Now that the quarantine laws seem
to be inevitable in most of the states,
which when enforced, as they will be
through the summer and fall, will eff
fectually cut of all outlet for Texas
cattle except by rail, it begins to look
as though a national cattle trail were
the only alternative remaining for the
stockmen of Texas. COMPRESS has
authority tc appropriate for this pur-
pose sufficient portion of the public
domain TO meet all requirements,
through from North Texas to the
northern extremity of the grazing re-
gions of the country. The land re-
quired is already in the main the
property of the general government.
This trail, once established by an act
OF congress, would forever secure to
the cattlemen OF Texas II permanent
outlet for their herds, and would make
them at least to some extent indepen-
dent of the railroads. The railways
traversing this state now carry cattle
at reasonable rates, but when once all
other outlets are eflectually closed, the
cattle interests of the state would be al
the mercy of these corporations and be
taxed perhaps to such an extent az
seriously TO cripple the business anu
depTeciate the value of stock.
This IL a matter well worthy the
careful consideration Of all interested,
and should at once receive the atten.
ton of stOekmen everywhere in order
that when the national convention
meets, intelligent and harmonious ac
ton may be taken on this most impor.
tant matter.
This Is question Of vital interest tc
the catIleman of Texas and the entire
grazing region OF the country, and tht
JOURNAL will industriously labor Il
secure the establishment of nerma
nent outlet to the Northwest. To this
end, we invite from those who have
given the matter thought, free dis
enssioa through our columns of the
most feasible method of attaining ths
desired end.
