SUMMER SIFTINGS. 
ANNIE L. JACK. 
September ! It is the early autumn seen in 
every fleeting cloud and in every brilliant flower. 
The stillness of the trees is felt; the sunbeams 
have a cooler glow and the glints of light and 
shadow are “summer siftings” no more. Do 
we regret it ? Ah, me! do we not I Other sum¬ 
mers may come and go, hut never again will one 
be just the same. Each year we advance or go 
back, and the same feelings cannot be repro¬ 
duced. 
It is a busy month. The garden is one mass 
of yellow squashes and ripening corn. Apples, 
apples everywhere drop from the trees, and the 
early fruit is marketed. The careful housewife 
gathers her plums to preserve, cans her peaches, 
secures her tomatoeB in every available form, 
and prepares for the long and dreary winter. 
Happy is the woman who has laid by in the 
early spring some fresh, new garments and 
stockings for the ohildren; for tho frost comes 
unawares, and colds and many diseases follow. 
While beautiful, almost, as J une—except for the 
wealth of roseB—I deem September a treacher¬ 
ous month, delusive, with its soft and balmy air, 
for delicate people, though bracing for the strong 
and healthy. The grapes are purpling, the 
pears turn their russet cheeks to the sunshiue, 
rich treasures of color are found among the 
flowers, but they lack the freshness of spring, 
the glow of summer, and we enjoy them with a 
quiet rapture that is tinged with pain. Summer 
siftings cannot return this year. 
DOMESTIC RECIPES. 
Oare ot Brooms, Recipes. 
A friend of my early days used frequently to 
say, “Show me a housekeeper’s broom, and 111 
tell'you what she is.” I am reminded of the 
force of the Baying, when I see the too common 
misuse of that very necessary article. There are 
housekeepers who never have any particular place 
for their brooms, but leave them where tbey 
were used last, while other8 use the same brooms 
for parlor and kitchen, and when worn out they 
are thrown into the cellar or baok yard to remain 
indefinitely. Some are iu the habit of resting 
heavily on the broom while stooping to pick up 
pins, thread, eto., which one finds while sweep¬ 
ing. The result of this iB, that the splinters 
are bent upward and broken and the broom soon 
becomes worthless. When a new broom is pur¬ 
chased. provide a way for hauging it up in this 
wise: With a small gimblet bore a hole through 
the handle about an inch from the top; draw in 
a piece of strong, waxed twine, long enough 
when tied in a hard knot, to form a loop three 
or four inches long. If brooms be dipped in 
clean, hot suds once every week and dried 
quickly, they will last twice as long. When too 
much worn for the house, they will answer for a 
time at the barn. When too old to sweep with 
at all, take off the wire for future use ; cut the 
handle into kindling material; pull apart the 
straws, and add gradually to the tire, aud you 
are rid of a useless article for “good and all." 
Pressed Chicken. 
I have noticed when traveling on the cars, 
that many of the passengers who carry their 
lunoh, generally have a liberal supply of chicken. 
Now, there is no objection to the fowl itself, but 
there is to the shape in which it is often taken. 
When there are so many good recipes for 
“pressed" and “jellied chicken," it seems as if 
the bones, need not be carried. I was once 
obliged to occupy a seat on the cars with a 
stranger, who entertained me for a half hour by 
gnawing the wings and legs of a fowl- At the 
same time another person who sat directly op¬ 
posite, was engaged in the like occupation. If 
chioken be prepared according to the accom¬ 
panying recipe, travelers need not be aware of 
the nature of each other’s luncheon: 
Cut up a young fowl and put it in a kettle, 
with one coffee-cupful of cold water. Sprinkle 
with salt and pepper, and cover closely. When 
tender, pick the meat off the bones, and chop 
into hits, tho size of peas, and pack in a quart 
bowl. Thiokeu with flower the little juice that 
remains in the kettle, and pour over the chicken. 
Put a plate on it, while warm, and a heavy weight 
on the plate. It is necessary to cook t he fowl, 
in but little water, otherwise it will not jelly. It 
is best not to cut pressed chicken until the day 
after it is made. Place thin layers of it between 
thin slioeB of bread, and press firmly together. 
To be eaten without separating, like sandwiches. 
Crab-Apple Jelly, and Marmalade. 
Wash the apples in hot water, then put in the 
preserving kettle, with not quite enough cold 
water to cover. Cook them slowly until soft, 
but not broken. Pour off the juice and strain 
it. To each pint of it, put one pound of granu¬ 
lated sugar, and boil twenty minutes ; Bkim, pour 
into tumblers, and let it stand in the sun a few 
days to harden. 
For marmalade: Take the same apples from 
which the jelly was made, add water, in the pro- 
THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
portion of one half pint to each quart of ap¬ 
ples j cook until very soft, aud press through a 
sieve. To each pound of this pulp, put a half 
pound of sugar, and cook slowly for an hour, 
stirring often. Watch constantly, aB it burns 
easily. Put in air-tight glass cans.

To Dry Sweet Corn. 
Why need housewivee Bpoil their dried oorn, 
by cutting the whole kernel off with one slice, 
when if they were to cat only the outer part, and 
Bcrape the rest, it would he so much more delici¬ 
ous ! It should not be cooked longer thaD fifteen 
minutes before it is dried. The best method I 
know of to dry it, is to spread upon plates, and 
set in the oven, which ia kept tolerably hot at 
first. 
Not Scalding Tomatoes; 
If one be provided with a sharp knife, and re¬ 
move the skins from tomatoes without first 
scalding, they will have a fresh, lively taste, 
which they never have if Bcalded. Having so 
many smooth varieties now, it is not hard to fol¬ 
low the above; Aunt Flora.

POLITICAL. 
The Potter Committee has finally concluded 
to adjourn until the chairman shall see fit to 
call them together again. Butler will have his 
hands full for some time in canvassing Massa¬ 
chusetts In his own behalf, having Just accepted 
the nomination for Governor as an independ¬ 
ent candidate tn response to upwards of 40,000 
voters whose signatures are said to have oeen 
attached to the petitions requesting him to do so, 
of which mention was made here last week, ne 
says he will avoid as much as possible national 
politics and confine himself to State issues. 
Potter and the other members of the Committee 
will also find plenty to do in the coming canvass, 
so that it is not llkly that there will be another 
session until shortly before the reassembling of 
Congress next December. It was said during 
the week that the original of the notorious Sher¬ 
man letter was In possession of the Committee 
and that they would spring it as a surprise on the 
public, just before the elections. Ben Butler 
however, has published a card, denying the truth 
of this allegation. 
Somebody has been overhauling Secretary 
Sherman’s somewhat crooked financial record, 
and finds that In 186S he used this language: 
“ The man who would demand the payment of 
the five-twenty bonds In coin Is an extortioner.” 
Ex-Guerrilla Mosby wanted to be assistant attor¬ 
ney-general, but will take the Canton, China, 
consulate, though he says he shall come back to 
go into the campaign ror Grant in 1880. Minister 
Stoughton was among his backers, the family 
having been good friends of Mosby ever since be 
capi.ured a nephew of tho minister's In the war 
and treated him well. Simon Cameron, of Pa., 
was another, and a hoBt of prominent republi¬ 
cans also Indorsed him. Col. McClure of the 
Philadelphia Times has been around in Pennsyl¬ 
vania a good deal this summer, and Is very much 
Impressed by the strength of the national move¬ 
ment. He reports that It has a great hold upon 
the farmers In many sections, who find It very 
hard work to pay their growing interest with 
the diminishing prices they receive for their 
produce, and easily embrace the opinion that 
printing a fresh lot of paper money will bring 
them relief. 
MISCELLANEOUS. 
There was a very pleasant meeting of gentle¬ 
men Interested in the breeding of Small York¬ 
shire Swine, a few days ago {August 21) at Col. 
Hoe’s office in this city. It resulted in the 
organization of the “American Small York¬ 
shire Swine-Breeders' Association." The bal¬ 
lot for officers resulted in the election of 
Rlohard M. Iloe, President; August Belmont, Jr., 
Treasurer; and Goo. W. Harris, Secretary, who 
alBO constitute tho Executive Committee. The 
Initiation or membership fee was fixed at five 
dollars. The entry feo was fixed at fifty cents a 
head for animals belonging to members of the 
club, and one dollar each for animals belonging 
to Don-members. M. C. Weld, E. B. Duycklnk and 
Wm. H. Cole were appointed a committee to pre¬ 
pare a Constitution and By-Laws, to be sub¬ 
mitted to tbe members of the club at the next 
meeting. 
It was resolved that previous to the adoption of 
the Constitution and By-Laws any applicant for 
membership may be received as a member on the 
unanimous recommendation of the Executive 
Committee. The entries of such an one may be 
recorded In the Herd Book, also those of persons 
not members, after the pedigrees of their animals 
shall be submitted to and approved by the Exe¬ 
cutive Committee. 
The Secretary was directed to furnish entry 
blanks on application of members and other 
breeders desirous of having their animals record¬ 
ed In the Herd ltegtster, and was directed to Bend 
to every breeder of Small Yorkshires, to whom 
notice of meeting was sent, and any others sug¬ 
gested, a notice of the organization of the club 
and the action of the meeting. 
The Association adjourned to meet at the office 
of R. Hoe & Co., No. 31 Gold Street, New York, at 
11 a. m. on Wednesday, tbe cth day of November, 
1878, for the purpose of receiving the report ef 
the Executive Committee, adopting Constitution 
and By-Laws, etc. 
The late decision of Sec. Schurz, with regard to 
the pre-emption and entry of railroad lands re- 
' lates exclusively to railroads that have received 
money aid from the government or a grant of 
land so large as to be a substltltute for such aid. 
The unsold lands of the Union Pacific, Central 
Pacific, Denver Pacific and Sioux City roads are 
already embraced by this decision, because these 
roads have been completed three years. Tbe 
lands Of tbe Northern Pacific road will also be 
included when the road shall have been three 
years completed, unless the law on the matter 
shall be In the meanwhile repeaeldor this de¬ 
cision shall be reversed by the Supreme Court. 
There are a number of railroads that received 
grants of lauds from tho State leglstures, the 
same being donated by the general government to 
encourage local and State Improvements, such as 
the Illinois Central and St. Louis, Iron Mountain 
and Southern railroad. These are excluded from 
the scope of the decision. All the lands Included 
by the decision can be entered or pre-empted 
like any tract of unsettled government land, but 
the railroad companies have warned all such 
settlers that they will be Bumnmrlly ejected, 
and a case will doubtless, ere long, be made up 
so that the Supreme Court may finally decide 
the question. The most important paragraph 
in Hec. Bchurz’s decision Is as follows. 
“ By the terms of the grant, by which said lands, 
or the proceeds which shall arise trow the sale 
thereof, inured to said company, It, is provided 
that lands remaining unsold at the expiration ot 
three years from tho time when the entire road 
wrb completed, shall be subject to settlement and 
pre-emption like other lands, at a price not ex¬ 
ceeding $1.2*per acre; in other words, that said 
lands Bhall revert to the public domain for sale 
and disposal for said company under the pre¬ 
emption laws of the United States. And whether 
it be considered that, said lands are public lands 
In a general or special sense cannot In my opinion 
effect the jurisdiction of your office (the land- 
agent's) in making sale and disposal of the same.” 
Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines gains possession of her- 
New Orleans property, after her two or three cen¬ 
turies of litigation, only' to find herself attacked 
by English claimants to seven-eights of it, who or- 
fur to New Orleans lawyers half of their share to 
Secure their rights. The principals and Instruc¬ 
tors of the deal and dumb of the I'nlted states and 
Canada held their ninth annual convention at 
Columbus, (>., last week, nearly 300 delegates at¬ 
tending, most of whom could converse in the sign 
language. It Is a little over so years since the 
establishment ot tho American Asylum at Hart¬ 
ford, and now nearly every state in the Union 
has a school for the special Instruction of this un¬ 
fortunate class, while those that are without such 
a school provide for the education or their deaf- 
mute children In the schools of other States. Dur¬ 
ing the past year over oooo children and youths 
have been under instruction, at a cost of nearly 
a million and a half dollars. It ts est imated that 
Delaware’s peach export for the season will 
amount to 700,001) baskets, netting tho shippers 
$076,000. They call It a small year for peaches 
and place the whole yield within 1,000,000 baskets. 
Toledo lays claim to having become the great 
grain center of the country, producers and ship¬ 
pers having discovered that It is a better market 
for their grain than Chicago and Milwaukee, 
which have been the great receiving points. Be¬ 
tween Julyi ami August 20, Toledo's wheat re¬ 
ceipts amounted to 3 ,cib,ooo bushels, Chicago’s 
to 2,639,000 and Milwaukee’s to 1.728, ooo, Toledo 
feels Bure that, she will continue this preemi¬ 
nence through the season, for she received 1,113,- 
214 bushels ot wheat last week, 171>,9U more than 
Chicago and Milwaukee both reported. Jay 
Cooke & Co. have declared another dividend of 
five per cent. 
FOREIGN, 
Severe fighting stUl continues to mark the oc¬ 
cupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina by the Aus¬ 
trians. Batoum is being dismantled previous to 
its surrender to tho Russians. Tbe latter are 
quitting the neighborhood of Constantinople in 
large numbers on their way home. The Bul¬ 
garians are still massacring and outraging the 
Mahornmedans residing among them. All ac¬ 
counts from that, region agree that these people 
are utterly unfit for freedom, oowardly, cruel, 
utterly unprincipled and a disgrace to humanity. 
The outrages committed by them rlnce the close 
of the war, tar transcend those perpetrated by the 
basbl-bazouka before the opening of hostilities. 
Lately a committee of officials appulntcd by the 
Powers that signed tho treaty of Berilu, Investi¬ 
gated these atrocities and they have officially 
denounced their enormity and declared tbat the 
Russians were culpably 7 responsible for them. 
During the week the latter have tried to prevent 
the Bulgarians from continuing their crimes, and 
alight between the two has been tbe conse¬ 
quence. 
There has been a terribly fatal storm near 
Mlskolez, Hungary. The corpses of upwards of 
400 victims to Its fury have already been found 
and It la estimated that hundreds have been 
swept away by floods, whose bodies have not yet 
been recovered. Bismarck has prepared for the 
Reichstag a project for a code of laws against so¬ 
cialism, of a mo9t arbitrary nature. If passed, 
the whole of Germany will be placed under bis 
despotic sway. It Is believed, however, that a 
compromise much milder In Its effect, will be 
forced upon him. Contrary to telegrams last 
week, It Is now announced that an agreement 
has been arrived at between Berlin and the Vati¬ 
can. The Falk laws are to be considered a dead 
letter; all persecution of Roman Catholics to be 
discontinued, and, in return, the Government will 
receive the support of tho majority of the ultra- 
montanes. 
THE MARKETS. 
PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS. 
Niw York. Saturday, Aug. 81,1878. 
Beans and Peas.—T here are now Indications that 
the old stock of beaos will go out more steadily than 
was supposed a week or so ago. A late harvest Is 
admitted by all who have correspondence on the 
subject, and with a fair trade aud no extremely re¬ 
strictive limits, old crop will show little surplus by 
Oct. 1st. Many buyers have regarded the intima¬ 
tion of receivers as one of the " crop-scares" soot ten 
vented, while others have quieriy secured a fair 
portion of the supply. Marrows shown fair expor¬

Butter.—T he ho*t point, and an unexpected one, 
to note In the butler markot. this week, Is the wel¬ 
come appearance of exporters. Heavy supplies in 
summer, with ft limited local trade only iO handle 
them, make seller* nervous, and dealers talk as 
though they have had enough of a conversationally 
strong market. Salea urn the nuedtul emphasis re¬ 
quired when receipts arc liberal and tidvicee give 
assurance of plenty to come, and there is n genera I 
resolve to keep stock running even It the range has
