BEEF STEW.

Two pounds of beef, the round, flank
or any cheap part (if there is bone in
it, two and half pounds will be re-
rot, two of turnip, two potatoes, three
tablespoonfuls of -four, salt, pepper
and generous quart of water. Cut
all the fat from the meat and put it in
a stew-pan; fry gently for ten or fif-
teen minutes. In the meantime cut
the meat in small pieces and season
well with salt and pepper, and then
sprinkle over it two tablespoonfuls of
flour. Cut the vegetables in very small
pieces aud put in the pot with the fat.
Fry them five minutes, stirring well,
to prevent burning. Now put in the
meat and move it about in the pot un-
til it begins to brown, then add the
quart of boiling water. Cover; let it
boil up once, skim and set back where
it will just bubble, for two and half
hours. Add the potatoes cut in thin
slices, and one tablespoonful of flour
which mix smooth with half q cupful
of cold water, pouring about one-t third
of the water on the -four at first, and
adding the rest when perfectly smooth.
Taste to see if the stew is seasoned
enough, and if it is not, add more salt
and pepper. Let the stew come to n
boil again, and cook ten minutes; then
add dumplings. Cover tightly and
boil rapidly ten minutes longer. Nut
ton, lamb or veal can be cooked in this
manner. When veal is used, fry out
two slices of pork, asthere will not be
much fat on the meat. Lamb and NUT.

Wholesale Massacre OF Armenians by Turks.
LONDON, Nov. 10. ---Advices via Varna,
Bulgaria, confirm the reports of the
massacre of Armenians by Turkish
;oldiers. According to them the
trouble began through the refusal Of
the Armenians topay tax on the ground
that the raids OF the khurds had left
troops was sent to collect the tax and
We're beaten. The Turkish governor
of Bitlas reported to the government
that a serious revolt had broken out,
and Marshal Zaki Pasha was ordered
TO proceed to the place with the
Fourth Army Corps. Before this
imposing array of troops the
Armenians quietly submitted. Now
comes the horrible part of the
story. The governor of Bitlas re-
solved to make an example and ordered
the troops to fire on the defenseless
people. The order was executed with
alacrity, and the slaughter was not
stayed till twenty-five villages were
destroyed and thousands of the inhab-
itants killed. The British consul at
Varna reported the facts to the British
ambassador at Constantinople, who
protested the porte. The sultan ex-
pressed horror at the crime and ordered
Marshal ZalSi to report, which appears
to have seriously involved the governor
OF Bitlas To clear himself he charged
the British consul at Varna with in
citing the Armenians to revolt. British
officers are on the spot investigating.

OF Rural Mail Service.
SPRINGFIELD. H., Nov. 21.--At the
meeting Of the National Grange Patrons
OF Husbandry, Secretary Stahl of the
National Farmers congress delivered
an address on the question of free
delivery of mails in the rural districts.
He strongly urged farmers to press the
matter and criticized Postmaster GEN
eral Bissell for being unfriendly to the
project. This has long been the pet
scheme of the grange, which claims to
have been the origlnators of it. Mr..
Jones, from the committee on agricul-
ture, made reports in which suggestions
of the matter for the improvement of
the condition of the agriculturists are
endorsed The committee also re-
ported that it would cooperate with
the anti-option convention at Vicks-
burg to urge the passage of the Hatch
bill to prevent gambling in future.
This report was adopted.
