PARIS May 31.-Jules Simon has assumed

letter therein saying that he does not under
take the task with the object of explaining
the fall Of his Ministry, because every one
knows it foil because he would not agree to
the substitution Of authoritative for parlia-
mentary government.


He intends to defend the republic against
the monarchical coalition, parliamentary
regime against Bonapartism and reason and
religion against theoGratic doctrines, He ap-
peals to all who, abhorring civil and Eu-
ropean war, desire TO make the republic be-
loved and powerful.

How He Might have Prevented 1T by simply


speaking Out During the Campaign.


IN. X. Herald


Whatever trouble the President NAV
experience from the disgust Of the Sim
ple-minded country voters will be Of his
own making, OF course. He was silent
all the summer and fall, while the ora
tors who urged his election told the
country that the Union was In danger
from the South. The farmers and coun-
try people swallowed all this frothy
campaign trash, and are naturally
alarmed now to see the President "go
back on the country for that Is what
it means to them.


1t is a very dangerous thing to de-
ceive the people," remarked one Of the
most experienced politicians Of Wash
lngton the other day. What they once
believe they hold fast to.


"Gen. Hayes would have been q moro
comfortable man to-day than he is IL he
had let the people know last summer
that he took no stock in the stuff which
Blaine, Morton, Bristow and all the rest
OF his speakers were pouring out. The
politicians can do him no harm. They
are mad because he has, as they say,
gone back on the party; but that no.
BODY but the office seekers care for. Our
Iowa farmers say he has gone back on
the country, and that is more serious.
But even that is not very serious, for
the people have common sense and will
presently find out for themselves that
the President is on the right track.
When they discover this they are very
likelyt to be down on the politicians who
have misled them, and the prospect
now is that you'll see a tremendous
flock OF Republican lame ducks within
eighteen months"

Col. Mosby states as his impression
that there is now practically no division
OF parties in Virginia, and that there is
not likely to be until at least the period
when he thinks it probable there will
be split Of the white people. He is Of
the impression that Gen. Joe Johnston,
IL nominated for Governor, will be the
most popular candidate that has ever
been nominated for that Office in the
State of Virginia. Col. Mosby says that
he always acted with the Conservative
party Of Virginia in all local matters.
He does not believe that there will be
any Republican candidate nominated
for Governor, and he was not at all
pleased at the mention Of his name i'm
that connection in one Of the Virginia
papers.

The militant Bishop of Western New
York has one recruit already for his
crusade, in the person OF the pastor Of
Plymouth Church, Brooklyn. Mr..
Beecher told his flock at the Friday
evening prayer meeting that it was their
sympathy for Russia in the present
struggle. For his own part he hoped to
see the Turkish government ground to
powder, and the flag Of the Gar planted
to stay on the shores of the Mediter-
ranean, all in the interest of ciyiliza-
ton.

 The thinking, refecting citizens of this place all approve of the proposition to have minorities represented in town boards. Minorities should also be repre- sented on the board of Justices in the same proportion, and in the election of iurymen, as we'll as Tn the election of select men. It is atruth that no intelligent person will attempt to controvert. that persons are elected to serve as Jurors every year to. whose decision no one in the town where they reside would leave matter of the value of 50 cts. You ask those who elected them why they dld thus; and they often reply, "Why he works we'll for the party, he requested me to vote for him and l could not refuse." Now our best men should be elected to serve as jurors, and the writer believes that if they were chosen irrespective of party it would be great improvement on the present practice. We hope the legisla- ture will pass some act that will give the minorities their rights.

that smoke from the leaves of the bella
donna possesses much more power in
cutting short an attack of asthma than
that from stramOnium; a long pipe
being the best means of smoking them,
the smoke to be drawn deep into the
chest. Or if, when the attack is at its
height, the patient has not the power OF
doing this, the leaves may be placed in
a saucer containing lighted charcoal or
wood ashes, which should be put on a
chair in front of the patient, this chair,
as we'll as his own, being covered with
large sheet, so as to cOntine the fumes,
before the leaves are put on the hot
charcoal. From two and half to five
grains of the leaves are sufficient when
smoked, and from five to twenty grains
when burned.

Earliest Use Of the Electric TOrpedO.-
Starting from the close of the Crimean
War, the first in which the electric tele-
graph was employed. we find ample
examples of the assistance furnished to
the soldier by scientific research. One
instance taken from the war 1858 is
especially interesting. The Austrians
held Venice at the time, it may be re-
membered, and, to protect the harbOr,
tOrpedOes were laid down. The tOrpe-
does were fired by electricity, and con-
tanned gun-cOttOn. this being the first
instance on record of the employment
of electric torpedOes and of the newly
invented nitrO-compOunds. Nor was
this all. The torpedo system devised at
Venice by the Austrian engineers had
yet another point of scientific interest.
A camera, Obscura was built overlook
ing the harbOr, and upon the white
table of this instrument were reflected
the waters of Venice. AS the torpedOes
were sunk one by one sentinel in
the camera noted the place Of their
disappearance with a pencil, giving
each torpedo a consecutive number. A
row-bOat in the harbor described a
circle around the sunken torpedo, indi-
eating the zone of its destructive power,
and the sentinel again, made CORES
pOnding ring upon the camera-table.
In the end, therefore, while the harbOr
itself was apparently free from all OBJ.
structiOn, very effective means of tor
pedO-defense was established, the key
of which was only to be found in the
camera-obscura. The sentinel here had
wires in connection with every torpedo
and was in position to fire any one as
soon as he observed-by means of the
camera-the presence of hostile vessel
within the limits of any of the circles
marked upon his white table.-POpuldr

PRICES OF LIVE AND DRESSED PoUL-
TRY.-It is sometimes convenient to
know what price per pound live weight
is equivalent to a given price dressed
weight. Preparing for market will cost
about eight cents for each fowl, when
labor Of the usual quality is employed,
and a considerable number of fowls are
butchered at time. Making allowance
for dressing and leaving out all frac-
tiOns, the relative prices in cents of
dressed and live Meiphts are as follows !.
Year: 1877

This rule VIII cover average cases,
but something will depend upon the
condition Of the fowl. One in poor
order will really cost more to prepare,
will lose as much and will command a
less price per pound than the good in
fair order. No kind of live stock will
fatten faster or give better return for
grain than poultry, and it is very poor
policy to sell them when half fat.

VIOLET INK FROM CARPETs.-I have,

COOKING APPLEs.-The great English
physician. Sydenham, says the Rural
Home. allowed no other ailments to his
patients in the febrile stages of quinsy,
erysipelas and smallpox than could be
found in boiled apples. There are a
great many ways of using apples for
food, and doubtless some novel way is
vet to be discovered. The French,
whom we are told excel in culinary
matters, are said to have three hundred
and sixty-tive ways of cooking an egg.
Why should not a similar enterprise be
shown in regard to the apple? An
estimable lady of my acquaintance
makes some palatable dishes and desserts
in this way: Apples of uniform size
are selected and simply wiped and
cored. This last operation is quickly
performed by punching them through
with an apple cOrer; thus removing
the stem, seeds and tougher part, and
making an opening for the Introduction
of sugar in the cooking operation,
which follows. After dipping them in
water, they are placed in any deep pan
or baking dish, and sprinkled with
sugar, about teaspOOnful to each
apple, teacupful of water turned on
around them. They are then baked
with a slow, steady fire till soft, when
they should be removed from the baking
pans for cooling and the table. When
served with cream, this is a dish fit for
a queen. Every part of the apple can
be eaten, the sugar having neutralized
the acidities in the fruit, and the cook
ing making tender the skin. There is
another very good way of treating
sweet apples. Stew them in porcelain
kettle, and with just enough of molasses
and water TO prevent their burning on,
till cooked, and then transfer them to
the oven with all the liquid residum to
dry brown. This gives baked apple,
half jellied, deliciousness in flavor that
any one can love. Sweet pickles, by
some considered superior to the old
fashioned apple sauce. are made by
partly baking sweet apples and then
saturating them in pickle of vinegar,
sugar and spices.-This is easier than
apple sauce, which must be smothered
in boiled cider.

A YOUNG fellow, who was bit of a
Bohemian, fell in love with his laund-
ress, charming young creature, and,
in order that he might see her frequently
he cOntrived to make her call every day

chance would have it, they were separ-
ated from each other for time, but by
and by they met again. 'Haye you
been true to me all this timer" inquired
the comely young damsel. "See," said

RAISE MORE POULTRY.-The telegraph
uses the following sound arguments TO
induce its readers to produce more
poultry: eve have often recommended
the raising of poultry by farmers within
easy reaching distance of Philadelphia
markets, and have no reason now to
change the recommendation but to re-
peat it. If properly conducted it would
become one of the most profitable
branches of the farm. The French give
special attention to poultry, and it
always has been to them an important
source of revenue. The total value OF
chickens sold in France, including eggs
and capons, is estimated at $4,000, 900
per annum, which, if equally divided
among the population, would be at the
rate Of S2.25 for every man, woman and
child in the country. There is no rea-
son why the business here should not
assume greater proportions than it does,
as there is at all times demand Tor
every variety of good poultry and fresh
eggs at remunerative prices. This is
branch of the farmers industry that
can be managed by the women and boys
of family. 1t requires but little capt.
tai. The chicken-houses should be in
expensive but sufficiently roOmy, clean,
and well-ventilated. A large portion of
the food can be supplied by the Otfal of
the farm of almost every description,
which can be readily economical for
the purpose. The time required can be
mainly what may be called Off.time.
The pleasure of raising chickens, ducks,
turkeys, geese, guinea-tOwls, and even
pigeons with squads at forty cents per
pair), should pay for ali the outlay in
money or labor. AS we say, there is a
constant demand for poultry at good
prices, and there is not season in the
year when they cannot be disposed of
freely. We know that upon many
farms poultry raising is not regarded
with favor, as consuming time that
should be applied to the general affairs
of the farm. But it is mistake and we
commend thorough examination of the
subject"


Another even more powerful induce
ment would be to invent some remedy
for chicken cholera and "gapes, " which
cause such discOuraging mortality
among our poultry, both old and young.
Two of our best and most successful
poultry raisers, "who never lose sim
gle chicken from gapes," tell us that
they attribute their example wholly to
the fact that as soon as taken off the
rOOst they grease the heads of all the
chickens. The argument is that the
worm which produces the trouble in the
wind-pipe of the bird matches on the top
of its head and passes in at the nUstrils.

A REMEDY FOR LIME IN THE Eyes
The highly injurious caustic effect of
lime accidently introduced into the eye,
as frequently occurs to those engaged
in building, may be entirely neutralized,
it is said, by the use OF cold sugar
water, owing to the formation of a com
pound of the lime and sugar, which is
without any action upon the eyes.

REMOVING STAINS ON MARBLE.-These
stains may be removed usually by a
mixture of one ounce of soda, piece
of stone lime the size of walnut,
quarter of pound of whiting, and the
same amount of soft soap. Boil these
together ten or fifteen minutes, and
then put the mixture on the marble
while hot. Leave this on twenty-four
hours, then wash off with clean warm
water and polish first with soft flannel
and then with chamOis skin.

THE PAPER on TEMPERANCE.


The subject of tempernce, is one that
should engage the attention of every
right minded man and woman in our
land. you will give me your attention
for short time, will endeavor 10 de-
part from The course usually pursued by
persons in presenting the subject, and
and give YOU some ideas that will be
new, TO at least to part of those pres
ent.


1t being my desire to present facts in
as popular a manner as / may be cap
able Of doing. shall make use of such
aids in illustrating, and draw upon such
sources of information as have at my
command. You will please bear in
mind that in speaking of intemperance
In this paper, refer to the use of alec
hol and its derivatives, as it is the
amount OF alcohol the various popular
beverages contain, that entities them to
be classed as stimulents and inebriants.
1 shall first examine the subject Of
dram drinking in reference to its effects
on man physically. Here / make the
unqualified assertion, that the use of
alcohol is never necessary and always
injurious to the human system, exceptas
a medicide IN case of actual disease
surefully prescribed. deny the right
of man to prescribe it for himself or
other persons, who has not sufficient
knowledge of medicine and disease to
to enable him to prescribe medicines in
general. Let me illustrate the possible
danger of NAL prescription of stimu-
lants. Common experience teaches us
that a dram of spirits, will relieve colo
and cramps in the stomach and bowels,
but we have another disease Of the same
organs, whose initial symptoms are very
similar. When a man prescribes 1t for
himself. let him be sure of his diagnosis;
| ifit be the pain of colo and cramps
well, but if the pain be symptom OH
fiamation setting up, 1t can do no good
but must be productive of HARM acting
as fuel to FIRE.
