WHOLESOME SoUPs.-I will give re-
cipes for two soups that are, think, very
wholesome and palatable, cheap and quickly
made. To q good many, in part, they
may be old, to some entirely new.


Slft pint, or little more, of flour into
the bread pan; break in one egg !; add a
little salt and about gill of sweet milk
(which / find is much better than sour
milk and soda, or all eggs; mix together
rather stiff. Divide into about three parts;
roll quite thin -four plentfully SO as to
prevent it hanging together; fold from
each side; cut in two in the middle, lay
one piece on the other and cut the corners
off-first one side and then the other. This


keeps them from beng long and stringy.
Put about quart of water into vessel, salt
and pepper, and piece of butter as large
as an egg. Let it come to boil and put


in your anoodles" 1--WE call them); let them
boil few minutes and send to the table.
They spoil by standing. That is my way.
It is one of the dishes that never hurts me,
though everything else may. Chicken
broth may answer; but for a dyspeptlc OF
an invalid the above is the most digestible.
This is enough for family of five or six.
Another way is to take half a pint ol
-four, put in dry pan, break an egg into
it. rub all around with the hand until all
the -four is wet and it is in even Jumps
cook same as the other; or it is nice to put
| in almost any kind of soup; stirred into


milk it is also good.

We select for the benefit of our lady
readers, the following instructions upor
the culture of winter gardens:
The plants that are intended for winter
Towering should all be repotted and pre-.
pared for their permanent quarters as
early as possible, SO as to become fully
established in the pots before the season is
cold and gloomy. The roots must be
attended to, and if they cling to the surface
Of the pot, one of q larger size should be
substituted, and fresh earth given. Be
sure to procure coed soil and to press il
tightly about the roots and crown of the
plant.


Do not attempt to cultivate too many
plants, remembering that one strong,
handsolne-shaped, healthy plant is worth
more than ten or twelve sickly things that
are lank, scraggv, and never blossom.


Give your plants the morning sunshine.
1t is far better than the afternoon, and if
the windows open both to the east and
southwest so much the better for the plants
at both windows; yet, if no other location
can be procured the afternoon sun is better
THAI none at all.


Never use glazed pots or crockery and
painted ware, unless the common pots are
set into them for ornamental purposes.


Stimulate once a week with some one Of
the various liquid manures. Avoid ex-
tremes of cold and heat, and give all the
air that is allowable, according to the tenn
perature out of doors.


Sprinkling must be given once day. If
the pots are thoroughly washed with soap
suds all tendency to green mold will be
prevented.


Make the water that is given warmer
now than in summer. Put your finger in
the saucer and see how cold it is when it
drains through the outlet, and if quite cold
give water of greater warmth.


Plants that are in a state of rest should
have but very little water during the au-
tumn.


The tulip is so perfectly hardy, flourish
ing so well under the most ordinary care,
and is SO varied and brilliant, that it never
fails to give the greatest satisfaction.


Any good garden soil will do for the
tulip. A rich soil is not necessary, though
well rotted manure, rotted sods, or leaf
mold may be applied when the earth is
poor. See that the drainage is good before
planting. Plant in October and Novem-
Der. Make the soil fine and deep. Set
the early Towering kinds five inches apart,
and the late varieties six inches. Cover
three inches deep.

THE idea that it is the duty of the city


to furnish work for all persons out of
employment is unsound, and must be defi-
nitely discarded. Too large proportion


of our people are crowded into the cities
already, and the finding of work by
municipalities, irrespective of any legiti-
mate jobs to do, places premium upon
idleness, and would devote the resources of
communities already overtaxed, to the
accumulation of additional elements that
are Improbable and would speedily be-
come dangerous Cincinnati Commercial.

Look Our, SAMPLE MERCHANTS -
Sample merchants and the public generally
will remember that not long since sam
pie merchant was before Judge Bond on a
writ of habeas corpus, and from some
cause the case was not tried, but it was
thought that his opinion was adverse to the
constitutionality of the law. Since that
time number of persons have been ar
rested as sample merchants and some of
them have been fined for violation of the
city ordinance, and discharged without any
action being taken in reference to the state
law. We are informed on reliable au-
thority that the state law is still in statu
quo, and that all parties who have been
fined for violation Of the city ordinance, are
yet liable to arrest and fine for not having
state license, as the law in regard to the
state license has not been tested. The state
commissioner has been ignored by sample
merchants, they utterly refusing to take out
a state license, and the state losing the
amount through the misunderstanding of
some of the city's officials. n word to

CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO RAILROAD
FINANCEs.-The success of President


Huntington, OF this road, in carrying out
its scheme to fund its bonds in order to
proceed with the heavy operations of the
road and the completion Of its western
connections, which are Indispensable to
that high degree of activity and prosperity
which the company itself and all of its
friends have so confidently anticipated for
it, has been signally gratifying in its abun-
dant success. The scheme embraced a
plan for funding the coupons on the bonds
of the road, holders of over four
millions of dollars of which have signified
their assent to the proposition. At the
suggestion of some of the largest holders
of the bonds it has been proposed that
instead of an absolute surrender of the
coupons to the company they should be
placed in escrow, SO that should fore
closure under either of the mortgages on
the road occur the coupons will still be
entitled to their liens under the mortgage.
Of course as interest is paid on the income
bonds an equal amount OF the coupons
held in escrow will be cancelled and deliv-
cred to the company.

community, generally, are in favor of
division, but only few seem to interest
themselves more than casually in its con-
summation. For instance, in town of
the boasted wealth of this, only 1886 WAS
raised to defray the expenses of gentle
men chosen to visit Carson to work for
the passage of the bill. Austin has given
ten times as much to prevent the passage,
and if the rule holds good, as it has done
of late, that money is power, the people
of this section had better at once make
up their minds to continue travelling to
Austin whenever the law requires them
80 to do. At least many here think
that the vote on the postponement was
premonitory of the final disposition of
the measure, and those think ii dead

RAILROAD MATTERS.


Railroad talk seems to have almost
entirely subsidized here, people being
either wrapped up in the county scheme,
or else laboring under attacks of blues,
brought on by the recent hard times and
severe weather. Many whom l have
heard express their opinion, are in favor
of taking a broad view of matters and
things, and advocate road where the
most good will accrue to the greatest
number. This seems q proper view of
the situation, and one which is becoming
more popular daily. Should the road be
built within a reasonable distance Of Eu-
reka and of Hamilton, it would derive
revenue from two large mining centers,
instead of one, as now, and would also
accommodate hundreds of people other

PRICE OF FLOUR, ETC.


Not being q -four sharp, neither inter-
ested in the business, am not prepared
to give correct market report as to
prices, etc. But do not hesitate to say
that the Sentinel editor will live to rue the
day when he became an expert in this
branch of the profession. The mer-
chants here who have sustained and sup
ported the paper with their patronage,
are naturally and properly very indig-
nant that it should turn upon the indus
tries and prosperity OF the country in the
manner so lately attempted. Wonder il
the Sentinel is being published for the fun

editor said the other day, through his
columns, that he did not thank anybody
for their paltry four bits week. and
should not solicit patronage. A very
funny way 10 conduct newspaper.

SOMETHING LIKE CORNER IN THE MARKET


INCREASED FOREIGN CONSUMPTION.


For some time past the Produce Exchange,
or at least that portion OF it which deals in provisions
has been very much exercised over the advance in the
price OF pork. It started Ut about cents and ad-
vanced 81 cents per pound or from Sl3 TO SIC 25 per
barrel. The reasons for this advance, Cleaned from
various trustworthy sources in the trade, follows


Last year. William Young & CO. Of Chicago bought up
nearly all pork the market, and the bears" who
had sold heavily for future delivery being unable 20
secure the necessary quantity to hl their contracts
found themselves badly: cornered," and were Obliged
to settle at high figures great quantity Of pork held
by Messrs Young q Co. then has been retained, and
augmented by heavy purchases OF this year


Between $4,000 and 10000 bbs of last years production
are held in this city by southst house for the account
of Young & Co., who are looking for hgher prices.


BY many was expected that this year would witness


great increase in production that OF last year.
Results showed that these expectations not un-
founded for it is estimated that there increase OF
between 10000 and 10000 hogs over the packing Of last
year.


But beyond this the theory Of many Of the dealers
at fault FOR a remarkable demand for army food from
the larger and Weather countries OF Europe
large quantities Of pork TO be converted into bacon and
shipped for foreign consumption, and so, not only
stripped this market OF the actual increase OF pork and
bacon, but deprived 1t OF largo quantity which was
relied upon FOR home consumption.


Messrs. John Young Co. aud their agents hold al
most all the pork in this and other pork centers and t
expected that the community vii be treated to
an exhibition OF that peculiar art Known ";wisting
the bears" Opinions differ TO the extent OF the


short interest, maintaining that Is large, and
others holding an opposite View


It was generally conceded In the greater number OF
that there had been no intention TO make cor
ner but that the price had been naturally advanced by
the OF demand over supply. but that whatever


ehOrt" interest nere in the market would be used
by the "bus to advance the price to the highest poss

stated that believed that the "street" interest
about 10000 barrels or "a similar figure, and did not
anticipate corner" He said that the scarcity OF pork
owing TO is conversion into bacon TO supply tho

ESSAY en- THE WHEELgARROw


Ii you have occasion to use a
wheelbarrow, leave it, when YOU
are through with it, in front of
the house with the handles toward
the door. A wheelbarrow is the
most complicated thing to fall over
on the face of the earth. "A man
will fall over one when he never
would think of falling over any,
thing else; he never Knows when
he aas got through falling over it
either, for it will tangle his legs
and arms, turn over with him and
rear up in front of him, aud Just
as he pauses i'm his profanity to
congratulate himself, it takes a
new turn and scoops more skin Off
OF him, and he commences to
evolute anew, and bump himself
on fresh places. A man never
ceases to fall over a wheelbarrow
until it turns completely on its
back, or brings up against some
thing it cannot upset. 1t is the
most inotfensive looking object
there is, but it is more dangerous
than locomotive, and no man is
secure with one unless he has u
tight hold of its handles, and is
sitting down on something. A
wheelbarrow has its uses, without
doubt, but in it's leisure moments
it is the great blightimg curse on
true dignity.-Danbury Ne,Us.

An abortion was produced upon q
woman named Gladstone, at Mar

The Times says "R. D. Bell, of Mt.
Vernon, who was arrested as being
privy or an accessory to the abortion
committed on Mrs. Gladstone, had
a preliminary examination before
Mayor Griswold, on Monday, and
Tuesday, and although 1t was proven
by his letters that he was engaged
to marry her-was privy to Der con-
dition and had advised her thereto,
yet his Honor did not consider that
the evidence was sufficient to con-
meet him with the act, and he was
discharged and thus goes free as the
base seducer generally does, to
prey on some other family, and bring
a member thereof down in shame
and humiliate her family as in this
case. The evidence to US is clear
that he (BelD had seduced this wo
man, proven to be reputable, under
the promise of marriage ; then re-
fused to fulfill his promise, and drove
her, in state Of frenzy to commit
the act, or procure some one to dc
it; which has ended in sending her
to her grave, and bowing the head
of an aged father in sorrow and
shame. Thata curse will follow him
through life, and the ghost of his
murdered victim haunt him, we
fully and confidently believe. The
seducer is worse than a murderer, fol
he blasts the life and character of q
living being, and is infinitely worse
than murderer"

still be far less densely peopled than
Massachusetts, at the present moment.

as abundant in iron; lead and copper as
any part Of Pennsylvania, Missouri and
Michigan; as fit for cotton as the Sea Is
