From the London Daily Ne,


~ 1886 we are to have thoroughly rep
resentatlve American exhibition in Lon
don. General G. b. Norton has within
the last few days arrived in London, and is
now personally organizing the arrangements
for a national American exposition in The
English Metropolis. General Norton has
already been working ON the scheme in
Boston, and 1t was originally intend Il 10
bold the show next year but the replies to
the invitations he addressed to ali classes ot
American manufacturers, CulivatOrs and
ruilr,'ad prOpnctOrS, have been 50 numerous
that he mas wisely decided to postpone III.
opcni . Of the exhibition until May 1856
The delay will permit OF much more COM
plete display helug scared. General Norton
is well and favorably known in connection
with exhibitions he was general manager Of
the recent foreign exhibition in Boston but
his experience dates back to the Paris expo
siun OF 1861, in which he was commits
soner from the United States He
was chief of bureau in the Philadelphia
Ceu onnial exhibition. His fitness for the
| post Of secretary for the London exhibition
| is therefore amply verified. The fOrthcom
| ing exhibition promises to be very COmpre-
ncnsive. AS the New York Uerald points
out, Am riCa has never made II favorable

exhibiting at all, aud 10 Vienna their Efforts
were not commemorate, and were readered

were represented ONLY by few scalrg
machines and pnrlor organs. 1t has been
seen, however, at the centennial eXhihitipn
and the Atlanta exhibitions, and at the
Fisheries exhibition in LOndOn in 1888, that
there is almost no department. natural or
artificial, in which Americans can not lifrr

Here is an excellent dish for dessert.
Line a mould with ice cream, till the CEN
tire with strawberries, cover them with ice
cream, and set in the freezer for about
half an hour 1t is not intended that the
fruit shall be literally frozen, but chilled.
Any fruit may Of course be used
A delicious pudding is made in this
way chop a pineapple quite fine : take
some cake which is Il little dry rub it fine
in your hands, or crush it on a kneadlng
board put 1t into Il pudding dish in al
ternate layers with the pineapple, sweet
en abundantly moisten with cold water.
and bake in a moderate oven for an hour
and three quarters.
A most excellent pudding is made by
stewlng one pound OF pruues until they
are so tender that the stones NAV be re-
moved without difficulty. Take one quart
OF sweet milk, and subtract Il teacupful
INTO this stir enough flour to make 1t like
thick paste, then mix 1t with the rest of
the milk beat four eggs very light, and
add, and lastly stir in the prunes over
which you have first sifted n little flour.
Boil or steam for two hours. Serve hot,
with some highly favored sauce vanilla
or wine sauce are preferred.
Arrow-root pudding frozen makes a
tempting dish for dessert. To one quart
of milk allow one Tablespoonful of arrow
root, and the well-beaten yolks of six
eggs sweeten to your taste; flavor with
vine or vanilla. Put it into mould and
freeze. If You wish to take the trouble,
it is Il pretty addition TO the good looks of
the pudding to make frosting of the
whites of the eggs, and after turning the
pudding ont of the mould on platter,
put the frosting all over it. If of an
economical turn of mind, the yolks of the
eggs may be used for n cake. The milk
should be boiled before putting the ar
rowroot into it, and that should be rubbed
smooth in little cold milk. Fewer eggs
may be used If it is thought desirable
and more arrowroot will be needed

but it Is the chaos that preceaes creation:
out of il the voice Of God will yet be heard
crying, "Let there be light" and We shall
see clearly arrayod against each other two
well-detned parties, facing each other like
warning lions. The one party represe nting
wealth as against manhood, the old ideas
against the new the old world against the
new, representing sordid greed, grasplng in-
justice, accumulation aud concentration, il
liberality aud indifference to the rights of the
humble. On the other hand We shall have
a party laying its foundations deep aud wide
on the popular heart, filled with the divine
spirit of Him who preached from the mount
charity, justice and brotherhood; solicitous
to preserve liberty because liberty makes pos
sible all things Of good 10 man; solicitous To
hold together the nation because even q CON
tinent Is too little for the working out Of
Gods benevolenee to man; solicitous, by
example and sympathy, to lift up all the OPP
pressed Of the earth, aud strike down cruelty

hideous heads. lGreat applause.

The wrong to Dakota.

The governor in his annual report
says OF the wrong perpetrated upon
Dakota by denying her admission into
the union as follows:
"Her people are not raw and unused
to self-government, but citizens who
have served an apprenticeship in the
older states, and are not only fitted by
character and experience for the duties
Of citizenship. but fairly entitled to its
privileges by all the principles and ira
ditions OF the government. There is
something inccngruous in Keeping half
a million Of people comprizing the most
independent if not the richest agricul-
tural class in the world, and who, with
all the disadvantages Of the territorial
condition, have reared schools and col
leges, churches and other public insti-
tutions which compare in design, finish
and general conduct and discipline with
the states half century old, in a con-
dition Of practical v;ssalage. The SEN
timent in favor OF division is practi-
cally unanimous; but very few in eth
er section Of the territory oppose it,
