LONDON Feb 19-It is announced that in
view of the fact that the fall of Khartoum and
the death of General Gordon have rendered the
main object of General Wolseley's expedition
impossible, the government have deemed it ex-
pedient to change the whole plan of the cam
paign in the Soudan, General Brackenbury,
who succeeded the late General Earle, has been
ordered to abandon his advance on Berber and
concentrate his troops at Korti. Col Butler,
who evacuated Gubat the 18th and with
drew his forces to Abu-K Klea has also been
dered to fall back on Korti, and all available
troops in General Wolseey's command will be
concentrated at that place. and at Debbeh and
Korosko, the main body being at Korti. 1t is
probable General Wolseley may evacuate Korti
and retire to Debbeh, where the desert routes
from Omdurman, Ell Obeid and Darfour con-
verge on the Nile, and there await help from
England. At Korti the General could be sur
rounded. All available supplies will be sent to
Debbeh. and the whole army intrenched at that
point, where it can hold its own, if necessary,
until the rising of the Nile occurs. Dongola

tachments of British troops. There is line of

if he can concentrate there before the 29th, ow-
ing to the necessity he will be under of crossing

Relieving Clicked Cattle.

I read the articles under this title in
late Rural, and thought, if | was only an
old grandmother, l knew better way
than any yet given; better because it is
quicker, easier, and doesn't hurt the poor
creatures in the least. l remember when
l was little girl that our COW got chok-
ed with potato, and father hired me to
run my hand and arm down Rossy's
throat and pull out the potato. 1t was
not bit pleasant We have better
way now. If creature gets choked,
take some cold water and rubber
syringe and squirt stream of cold water
into one of his ears. 1t gi:es the animal
a surprise, and it shakes its head with
vengence that starts the obstacle from its
throat with jerk. l have seen it tried
lots of times, even after hoe handles, and
broomsticks, and divers other plans, have
been tried Intellectually, and I never
knew the cold water stream to fail on
cattle or horses, or even hogs.-Grand.

Gloomy Wheat Crop Prospects.

The growing wheat crop having reach.
ed g Critical stage, and winter wheat
having approached condition sufficient.
ly near maturity to approximate the
acreage and probable yield, the Farmers
Reuiclc, of Chicago, ha, followed up its
usual weekly summary by q complete
survey of all the Western and Southern
wheat growing States, reports having
been received from over three thousand
correspondents, covering every wheat
producing county in Ohio, Michigan, In.
diana, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Wis
consin, Minnesota and Dakota. To-
gethet with very accurate and recent
summary from the Pacific coast region,
made by the associated press, it is be-
lieved it makes one of the most complete
reports ever prepared. The Regielg says:
"The gloomiest views which have been
advanced concerning the winter wheat
outlook for 1885 must now be accepted
as the most accurate. The promising
conditions of 1884 have this season been
completely reversed. The absolute uni
formity of the returns indicate that the
outlook for the winter sown wheat this
year is the worst in ten years, and it may
be set down as positive that under the
most fa7oring conditions the total winter
and spring wheat yield is to fall consid-
erably under the short crop Of 1881,
when the total product was 5S0, ,000, 900
bushels. With the exception of Michi-
gan, Oregon and Washington Territory,
on the far Western slope, the causes
leading to decreased output of winter
wheat are almost identical. In Ohio,
Indiana, Kansas, Illinois and Missouri
the ground was bare of snow during the
winter. The severely cold weather at
the close of the winter, which was fol-
lowed by dry, cold winds later on. There
was also decreased acreage, owing to
the low prices which prevailed for the
crop of 1884. In California the decreas-
ed acreage was accompanied by severe
drouth, which has tended to almost ruin
the growing crop. Oregon and Wash.
ington Territory were saved by bountiful
showers, which came in time to save the
grain. From close compilation, and
taking the most cheerful view of the sit
uation, the winter wheat yield for the
present year will not exceed 2OO,000,0O0
bushels, and the absolute percentages
from the most trustworthy sources indi.
cate that the yield will fall somewhat
under than over the figures given. Turn
ing to the spring wheat belt, the outlook
is altogether more promising. Full re-
turns from Nebraska show slightly en-
larged acreage, as compared to last year,
while in Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota
the decrease in acreage will be about 10
per cent, while the condition is about 95
per cent. The acreage of Dakota is
about s per cent. less than last year, and
the conditions fully equal, though the
season is from ten to twelve days later.
The probable spring wheat yield, based
upon continuing favorable weather, will
be 130, 100000 bushels. The total wheat
crop Of the country, therefore, from the
present outlook will be from 320,000,000
to 33O,O00,00O bushels, against an aver.
age yield for the past five years of 1884,
100000 bushels.

Training Children.

One would naturally suppose that the
care of children would be the first
thought of the parents, whereas in many
cases it seems as if the first thought were
rather to escape that burden-although
the responsibility may never be shirked
without penalty-delegating it to hired
and Indifferent hands and heads, often
ignorant, often incompetent, without re-
Aecting that it demands not only the love
and tenderness such as no alien can fur
nish, but that the wisest mind is not too
wise for the task, nor the most cultured
intellect too we'll trained or too brilliant
to cope with the subject, to fit the human
soul for its sphere aud its work, for de.
velopment of its transcendent powers.
The person who on engaging nursery.
maid remarked, by way of preface, that
neither he nor his "wife knew anything
about the care of children, nor did they
wish to know" only frankly acknowl.
edged the deplorable condition of mind
of many, and certainly had no business
to have the bright faces of children about
his hearth.
One wonders if he treated any other of
his possessions with such unconcern.
Those who regard their children as their
chief occupation in life, and who love
that occupation, can hardly understand
the state of mind of mothers who accept
every excuse for turning them off upon
whoever will take the charge: careless Of
the dangers they may meet from the
unguarded and untaught speech of SER
wants or gamin-mothers who love their
own ease and pleasure better than tho
souls of their sons and daughters, who
find no delight in watching the unfolding
of human intellect, and whose minds
are too narrow to appreciate the self
abnegation of wiser mothers, whom they
look upon as slow specimens of the race
of women, old fogies with domestic pro.
clivities too strongly developed, beings
without thought or aspiration beyond
the clean faces aud clothes of their
brood, without proper sense of the
sphere of woman, which in their view
seems to consist merely in dressing and
gossiping, hattering aud being hattered
by the other sex.
People take infinite care OF their
homes, their land, their clothes, but they
too often leave their children, their most
valuable possessions, upon whose welfare
and progress the race depends, to take
care Of themselves, unaware or needless
of the great interest at stake, and deaf to
all admonitions. A child's mind is
plastic, ready to receive every or any inn
preston, and it is the parents who have
the power to dictate what these impress
ions shall be. When child learns
lying and thieving or any evil, it is gen.
orally the father and mother who deserve
the punishment for these of1enses. They
received the precious gift of an untutored
mind into their keeping, and if they
have neglected it, have chosen to waste
their energies on lesser themes, on the
vanities of the world and the flesh, they
have sown the wind and will reap the
whirlwind.-HMper's Magazine.

Cure for Felon.

The following from DR.. G. G. Gratiol,
M. D., st. Louis, will be hailed with
delight by that class of citizens who may
be suffering from that fearfully painful
horror, felon, if it should prove
to be what it claims to be, a cure for
felon:
One day in July, 1883, after returning
from call in the country, [ found q
gentleman waiting in my Office to consult
me about felon that was giving him
great pain, upon the index finger of the
left hand. While waiting for me he had
picked up one of my medical journals
and real an article entitled, GLOW to
Cure Felon." My patient asked me to
try it on him. I advised him to let me
make a free incision down to the bone,
believing it the only course to pursue that
amounted to anything in the treatment
of paronychia. AS he was little timid,
and insisted on my trying the other plan,
/ consented. The mode of treatment is
this, and quote the writer's own words:
"Take common salt, roasted on q hot
stove until all the chlorine gas is thrown
off, or it is as dry as you can make it.
Take teaspoonfull of pulverized CASTLE
soap, and teaspoonfull of Venice tur-
pentine, mix them well into o poultice
and apply on the felon. If you have
ten felons at once, make as many poultl'
ces. Renew this poultice twice day.
In four or five days your felon will, if not
opened before your poultice is first put
on, present hole down to the bone,
where the pent up matter was before
your poultice brought it out. If the felon
has been cut open or opened itself, or is
about to take off the finger to the first
joint, no matter, put Oh your poultice; it
will stop right there, and in time your
finger will get we'll, even if the first bone
is gone. OF course it will not restore the
lost bone, but it will get we'll soon."
So far as my faith went in the treat
ment of q felon in that way, I never
would have tried it. My patient came
back to ME in four days, with pain and
throbbing all gone, and with no tender
ness or swelling. Upon removing the
poultice, there was a round hole down to
The bone, discharging bloody, thick pus,
such as 1 have sometimes seen coming
from acute ulcers. He stated that after
the first application of the poultice,
about eight hours after he left my office,
he suffered no more pain; in three days
more he was almost entirely we'll. This
induced me to determine to try it on
other felons that might be called upon
to treat; and from July until the middle
of October great many felons occurred
among the farmers, caused by the fire.
quent handling Of pitchforks in making
hay and in stacking and threshing grain.
Suffice it to say tried it on seven cases
of felon, and it never once failed me. 1t
is simple in preparation, and the soap
and salt are always at hand, which with
few cents worth of Venice turpentine
will make many poultices. The case in
which / used it got we'll more rapidly
and suffered less pain, and the finger
regained its normal condition more
quickly thao after incision or any mode

Great Revival in Atlanta.

ATLANTA, May 31.-Atlanta has been
swept by wave of religious excitement
which promises to eclipse anything of
the kind ever known in the South. 1t
had its rise in the meeting of the Ma

that body were attended by all the mag
mates of business and fashion of the city.
They were welcomed by Chief Justice
Jackson, and prominent post on the
stage was held by Governor Mcdaniel.
At the call of the convention the Gov.
ernor was prevailed upon to stand up,
that the people might look upon the face
of Christian in Office. The proposition
to build a $4,000 house vas made,
which was afterwards taken up in secular
circles, and to-day the cash subscriptions
have swelled up to $4,000. While this
excitement was up the Methodists in
