A delicious aud new way to make q
filling for n layer cake is to chop some
iigs very fine; set half n pint or two
thirds of pint Of thick sweet cream
where il will get very cold, then whipit
light, mix it with the chopped figs and
spread on the layer Of cake.
An old. fashioned pudding sauce that
can be made in an instant is simply milk
sweetcned and favored with grated nut
meg. This is really palatable with corn
starch and blanc mango.
II the bread of which you are to make
stuiing is squeezed dry after it has
soaked in hot water it will be much
nicer 1t will not be so likely TO bo
soggy, but will be light. For veal or
for lamb the stuiling should be seasoned
highly; little onion and parsley with
the pepper and salt are decidedly appe-
! tizing.
| A necessary prccaution when roasting
large and fat loin of mutton Is to cover
it with paper during the earlier stages
of its roasting; otherwise the fat will
burn, or at least will be scorched, and
impart bad flavor to the gravy.
Goldfish is much nicerif it is picked in
very small bits and then soaked for an
hour in cold water than il put into warm
water or scalded in the latter case it
becomes hard and does not mix lightly
and well with the dressing.
A good cracker pudding is made by
breaking or rolling two large crackers
fine. add the juice of one lemon and the
grated rind OF two, half pint OF thick,
sweet cream, large tablespoonful OF
butter, the yolks of four eggs, sugar to
the taste. Make puff paste for deep
plate or small and shallow pudding
dish. Bake the crust until it has COM
menced to harden slightly, then pour the
above mixture in, taking care to pierce
the crust in several places with a fork.
Bake for nearly an hour.

It's quite possible that "Chnese" Gordon is
acrank. His religious convictions are pecu-
ar. He believes that this life is only one Of =
series of lives which our incarnate part has
lived. He has little doubt Of our having pre-
existed. In the present life he believes that
everything was settled from the very begin
ming by the Almighty. The doctrine Of eternal
damnation arouses General Gordon's intense
Indignation. He believes that everybody will
be saved not on account Of their worthiness,
but because Of the infinite goodness Of God.
The creed Of this strange man is said to resem-
bic that Of Cromwell, but tits greatly tempered
by the humantarianism and catholicity Of the
age

DR.. RICHARD JORDAN GATLIYo, the inventor
Of the famous Calling gun, has made some i'm
pOrtant improvements in his destructive piece.
The gun can now fire on an average OF about
2,lOO shots per minute continuously, and the
latest inventions enable it to be fired at any
angle. The doctor was first led to invent his
murderous gun by humane motives. He
thought that if a gun could be Invented that
would do the work of hundred men and re-
quire but a few men to operate it, the horrors
Of war would be greatly diminished, and the
end would come very rapidly Of every struggle.
The first Gating guns were purchased by Ben
Butler and used by him at Petersburg. They
created CONSERVATION, and the news Of then
went all over the world. They are now USED
in all wars and are purchased in immense
quantities by foreign governments.

HE Star this morning served no.ica
 on Hiram H. Stevens and J. A. Browd.r.
 that henceforth they did not belong to
 the Democratic party. The last and
 greatest sin committed by Hiram s.
 Stevens was the introduction of a res
 oiutIon Tn Democratic meeting to ad-
 vertise their meetings in the CITIZEN.
 Browder's fall was accustomed upon his
 secondlng the resolution and his fond
 ness Tor writing constitutions. bv-laws
 and platforms for sham taxpayer or-
 ganizations, Democratic cllbs. etc. The
 Democracy Tn Pima County are indeed
 Tn bad way. There are two sets of
 would-be leaders. Stevens and Browjer
 seem to have not only captured the sham
 taxpayers organization. but are prepar-
 Ing to capture the Democratic club. and
 oi course capture the Democratic party.
 It IS true that Mir. Browder is q great "fesolutor,' and We doubt 1T he has an
 equal m .he Democratic party in this county. II he has, the man has not the acumen to a sufficient degree to meet hls adversary. But the Star is mad be- cause the CITIZEN was selected as a me dium in which to advertise their meet mgs. Mr. Stevens, We presume, made hls motion for two reasons. First. be. cause the Star failed to take any notice Of the last meeting had. Second, be- cause on account of the large circulation of the CITIzES.

They are at the present time lenders of an organized gang of the Democratic party that Is soiIdlfied and the other gan of the Democratic party are flitusters and scattered all over he gr5Ini.
