A Prison Novelty.

Down in the main prison building OF
the penitentiary there is cell which is
curiosity, and shows how some men will
occupy their moments while In prison in
order to divert their minds. This cell
is occupied by one of the best prisoners
in the institution-a negro sent up from
Bsrnwell county under life sentence
for burglary and larceny. In view OF
the fact that the law was changed so as
not to allow the imposition of shorter
term of imprisonment than the life cen.
tence for this crime and many other cir
cumstances, repeated efforts have been
made to hazel the man pardoned but
without avail 80 far.
he has fitted his cell up in handsome
style. On the floor is Brussels carpet,
and the walls are covered with pictures
and Scripture quotations, all neatly
framed. The bed is Kept as neat as
pin, and the pillows are covered with
embroidered slips sent the fellow by his
friends. At the head of his bed is q
Bible quotation expressive of his repent
ance of his crime. He has horse shoe
made of wood on his cell door. The
whole makes an attraction of the peni-
tentiary that is worth seeing.

Making Candy at Home.

Try candy party and see if you do
not enjoy yourself more than you had
ever done before at such an affair.
Whyf Because at your novel candy
party you are going to make some very
nice candy and conduct the party on
regularly organized principles that will
insure its success.
The materials required for the candy
party are ten pounds of confectioner's
sugar-obtainable at any grocers-f9e
strictly fresh eggs, cake of chocolate,
half a pound of dates, a small quantity
of desiccated cocoanut, some vanilla ia
yoring and few drops of peppermint or
winter green.
You have now on hand the ingredients
for fifteen or more pounds of candy
much more than you care to make, no
doubt-so you may, if you please, get
only half the quantity Of sugar. But it
is more satisfactory to work with the
larger quantity.
Let the mistress of ceremonies break
the Eve eggs into a big earthern bowl,
and then, without beating the eggs, add
to them an equal quantity of water. Now
begin to stir in the sugar. 1t should be
added cupeull at time until the candy
mixture is so stiff that the arm of the
stirrer refuses to perform its task.
This is the critical part of French
candy making. 1t should be so stiff that
it will stand alone, like brocaded velvet.
Now add a little vanilla favoring to
the compound, and let the amount OF
vanilla be determined upon by the cou-
pie you have designated at the beginning
of the evening to act as "tasters."
All hands now fall at work upon the
mixture in the bowl. 1t must be quickly
and deftly nodded into chocolate drops,
each one of which is quickly stirred in
the melted chocolate by the couple pre-
siding over the chocolate pan.
When enough chocolate drops have
been made and set away upon glazed
paper to cool cupful of the mixture is
taken out and mixed with the dessicated
cocoanut, and then rolled into cakes by
the couple appointed to look after the
Interests of the cocoanut candy. Little
balls of the sugar mixture are pressed
into the stoneless dates to make the
"cream" dates OF the candy store, and
balls of it are pressed closely between the
halves of English walnuts for "cream" or
French walnuts.
If pepperment drops are desired or
wintergreen lozenges, a portion OF the
mixture may be favored with these es-
sences instead of with vanilla.

write this letter more to relieve Mr..
Stewart from the unintentional smirch
that he says he received at my house than
to relieve myself. Our consciences are
perhaps not as sensitive as those of some
other people and we may be doing wrong
in giving birthday parties with parlor
dance at the close, but no harm has ever
come of them, except the stnifch, that we
know of. Our children love us and
honor US and are good to us, and when
they gather at the family mansion we
are all happy together. We rejoice with
those who rejoice and weep with those
who weep. I would not intrude even
this much of our domestic affairs upon
the public, but I have many friends in
Texas whose regard I treasure in my
daily memories, and it grievss me that
they may believe me hypocrite or q
painted duck, and so hope the Dullas
Mews will copy this much Of my letter
and let me stand or fall by it-and let
MI. Stewart be relieved from the smiroh
from which he 80 long has suffered.
We are going to havs another birthday
party next week, on the 18th. It will be
my own and that of our eldest grandson,
who bears my name and my birthday,
and will then be twenty .one. The young
folks will gather as usual, and, no doubt,
will close the evening with another par
lor dance. Evil be to him who evil
thinks"
I am writing history now, and have
nearly finished my little book. 1t will
be published by Gum & Co., of Boston,
and be offered to the schools by Pro-
fessor Robertson, of Atlanta, in the early
fall. It is not 80 good book as I ex.
pected to write, for I have been sorely
troubled with my head and eyes, and the
physicians have forbidden me to write or
read, or even to think very much. 1t is
not so comprehensive, I know, as that of
Professor Evans, whose faithful work I
admire very much, but it is, perhaps,
more suitable for the grammar school,
and there is matter in it that will not be
found elsewhere, and that I specially de-
sire our young people to know.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way to cure deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf.
ness is caused by an inhamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inhamed you
have rumbling aound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inaamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
