pounds of a knuckle of veal and two chickens; 
—the meat of all cut into 6mall pieces and the 
bones broken. Cover closely and let simmer 
all day, then strain it. Next day take off the 
fat, clear the jelly from any sediment adhering 
to it, and boil gently, uncovered, nntil it thick¬ 
ens to a strong glue. Then pour it into pans 
and put in a cool oven. When it will take the 
impression of a knife, check off, then finish 
drying. Wrap in paper and pack in boxes

Apple Pudding. 
Apple pudding is one of the most easily pre¬ 
pared and palatable of deserts. Place a large 
layer of sliced apples in the bottom of a buttered 
earthenware baking-dish. 8ift three teaspoons- 
ful of baking powder and a little salt into three 
cups of Hour, and stir in 6weet cream until it 
is a thick batter. Where cream is lacking 
butter and water will answer. 8pread. the bat¬ 
ter over the apples and bake oue-hulf hour. 
Eat with sweet sauce- 
Chicken Pie. 
By making a batter after above recipe and 
pouring it over a dish of boiled and well-sea¬ 
soned chicken, a nice chicken pie can be made 
on very short notice. An old and tough fowl or 
any tough meat can more easily be made ten¬ 
der and nicer cooked under a cover of dough 
than in any other way, probably because of the 
closer confinement of steam. 
Ice Cream. 
A very good substitute for ice cream may be 
enjoyed during any 6now-storm. Beat thor¬ 
oughly one egg, a cup of thick sweet cream, a 
cup of sugar, and add a little lemon or vanilla 
flavoring. Set it in the coolest place to be found 
for an hour (if longer all the better). J ust before 
eating stir thick with light snow. e k. b.

Work five or six pounds of cloth for one 
hour in a bath (at a boiling heat), with eight 
ounces of bichromate of potassa, six ounces 
alum and four ounces fustic; lift, expose to 
the air and rinse through warm water. Refill 
the kettle with clean water, add four pounds 
logwood, four ounces boxwood and four ounces 
of fustic. Let the goods simmer in this one 
hoar; lift, add four ouuces of copperas in 
solution, and work half an hoar longer. Wash 
thoroughly and dry. 
Black on Cotton. 
Steep 10 pounds of cotton in a decoction of 
three pounds of sumach while it is hot, 
shaking and airing several times, and let stand 
all night. In the morning work for 10 or 15 
minutes in a tub of lime-water, then work for 
half an hour in a cold solution of two pounds 
of copperas. Again work through lime-water, 
then for half an hour through a warm decoc¬ 
tion of three pounds of logwood and half a 
pound of fustic previously scalded. Lift out 
goods and darken liquid with two ounces of 
copperas in solution. Work teu minutes then 
wash and dry. All black goods should be 
washed in soap-suds after coloring. 
Blue on Colton—IVo. 1. 
To dye 10 pounds of cotton : Put into a tub 
sufficient cold water to work the goods easily, 
add one-half pint nitrate of iron and work in 
this 20 minutes; wring out and pass through a 
tub of clean water, into another tub of cold 
water mix four ouuces of ferrocyauide of po¬ 
tassium in solution and a wine-glassful of sul¬ 
phuric acid. In this work the goods fifteen 
minutes. Wring out and wash through cold 
water in which is dissolved one ouuce of alum. 
This is for a light shade of blue. For a darker 
6hade add more ferrocyauide and iron. 
No. 2, Dissolve two and a half pounds of cop¬ 
peras in sufficient water to allow of working 
10 pounds of cloth. Boil two hours, take out, 
rinse, refill kettle with clean water and add one- 
half pound prussiate of potash. Boil about 
half an hour, lift out goods, add one-half 
pound of oil of vitriol, return and boil half an 
hour louger. 
Green on Cotton.

fustic and half a pound of alum to the last 
recipe to produce a good green. Simmer the 
goods in the decoction until the required shade 
of green is obtained. 
Brown on Woolen. 
Work 10 pounds of goods half an hour in a

three or four hours; strain the dye; put in the 
goods and let stand five or six days by the stove, 
airing several times. When the color is the 
shade desired, rinse and dry. 
Orange Pudding. 
Vis. B. asks for a recipe for the above. 
Ans,—W e do not know of any directions better 
than those given by Mrs.D. Snedeker, In the Rural 
of Jan. 19, ISIS, which we will republish: 
Three pints of milk; seven heaping tablespoons- 
ful of sifted corn starch (Gilbert’s); yelks of four 
eggs; salt, flavor and sweeten to taste ; peel six 
oranges; cut into fine pieces and remove the seeds; 
lay In the bottom of a deep pudding dish; sift over 
as much sugar as required; tvheu cool, pour over 
the oranges the corn starch; beat the whites of 
the eggs to a stilt froth ; add two tablespoonfuls 
of sugar; flavor and spread over the pudding; 
place In the oven until the meringue Is of a delicate 
brown. Although this recipe seems simple, It re¬ 
quires care In putting the Ingredients together. 
First, let the milk come to a boil; add the corn¬ 
starch, which has previously been dissolved In a 
little cold milk; boll until it thickens; take from 
off the lire and stir In the well-beaten yelks the 
sugar and flavoring; return to the back of the 
range for a tew minutes, stirring constantly; when 
again taken from the lire beat the corn-starch 
until It Is cool enough to pour over the oranges. 
This constant beating prevents the corn-starch 
from being lumpy. The meringue should not be 
made until the pudding Is ready for it to b« spread 
over the top and placed In the oven.

MISCELLANEOUS. 
Monday, January 26,1880. 
Preston D. Mood, editor of the Clarendon Press, 
Columbia, S. O., and son of Henry M. Mood, one 
of the most distinguished preachers In South Caro¬ 
lina, committed suicide at Manning tillage last 
week by blowing out his brains with a pistol. 
Mood had addressed a beautiful Jewess, and threat¬ 
ened to kill himself It she ret used hts offer. Not¬ 
withstanding hts threat the fair daughter of Israel, 
rejected him, and the rash young journalist thus 
put an end to hts life. ... A new law in regard 
to regulating the railroads, It Is hoped, will be 
enacted m New York state. The Legislature ap¬ 
pointed a committee to investigate the charges 
the people have made against the roads. Monopo¬ 
ly, uujust discrimination In charges of freight and 
even secret bargains and favors shown to certain 
merchants, which gave (hem unfair advantages 
over their fellows, and corruption in the election 
of railroad officials were shown to exist. To rem¬ 
edy these, the committee proposed that a commis¬ 
sion of three be appointed to overlook all the roads 
In the Stale, and to compel them to respect the 
laws. These laws are not yet made, however, but 
public opinion Is so aroused on the subject that It 
Is hoped the Legislature will be forced to do its 
duty. ... A lady in Hoboken, a well-to-do 
merchant's wife, has just Invented a street sweep¬ 
ing machine, which is said to be far superior to 
any now In use. The patent is just taken oui. 
Her uame being Eureka C. Browne, she proposes 
to call It •* The Eureka Street Sweeper.” . . . 
An accident occurred on the Virginia Midland 
railroad on the morning of the 23d Lost. A mate- 
Hal train consisting of engine, coal ear, nine flats 
and acabuse, in rounding a curve near Charlotts- 
vllle at a great speed, struck a large rock which 
had fallen from the cut on the track during the 
night. The engine was thrown trorn the track, 
but miraculously it again jumped on the rails and 
was saved. The rest of the train was wrecked; 
two parsons killed and seven severely injured. . . 
The penalties of obstructing census-takers, who 
begin their labors on the first Monday In June, 
are severe. The law says: All persons above the 
age of 21 years who shall refuse to furnish the in¬ 
formation required by the super vislor or enumer¬ 
ator shall forfeit and pay a sum not exceeding 
$100, to be recovered In an action ot debt. Presi¬ 
dents, directors or other officials or private cor¬ 
porations who refuse to furnish information re¬ 
quired of them, are made liable to a penalty not 
to exceed $ 10 , 000 . only two weeks are allowed 
tor the completion of the census. The compen¬ 
sation of the enumerators is uie following: Two 
cents for each living Inhabitant; two cents for 
each death reported; ten cents for each farm; 
fifteen cents for each manufactory, which Is to be 
In full lor all services, and no mileage or travel¬ 
ing expenses. The subdivision assigned to each 
enumerator must not exceed 1,000 inhabitants. 
Negotiations with the Ute Indians are in pro¬ 
gress, at. which three things are to be accom¬ 
plished .- 
First —to have the treaty provisions about the 
surrender ot offenders carried out so tnat the par¬ 
ticipants In the White River murders can be 
tried. 
Second ,—To make such an arrangement with 
the Lies as will avert from them the Injuries that 
are threatened to be inflicted upon them by the 
border population or Colorado, and which cer¬ 
tainly would come if the present boundaries oi the 
reservailon were preserved. This accomplished, 
the present difficulties will pass over without an 
Indian war, which will be a great benefit to the 
country generally. 
Third .—To secure lor them full compensation 
for every piece of land they may cede to the Uni¬ 
ted States and a safe and advantageous settlement 
for the future. 
Last week we stated that the Maine difficulties 
had taken shape In favor of the republicans. These 
are still in power and, if anything, their claims 
have been better established during the week. On 
Monday Governor Davis determined not to admit 
the tuslonlsts to the State House and accord¬ 
ingly a strong force of police was placed at the 
gate, and others around the building. The fu- 
slonist leglslatuie appeared in a body and de¬ 
manded admission. The Speaker of the House, 
the President ot the Senate and their Governor 
successively demanded admission at the gate ot 
the capital where they were met by the Mayor of 
Augusta, backed by a large force of police, who, 
refused each In turn, to enter, stating that he had 
orders to that effect from the Governor, Mr. Davis. 
The tustonlste then adjourned to Union Hall w here 
they have met every day since They have, sub¬ 
mitted questions to the supreme Court the an¬ 
swers to which is expected gTeatly to Influence 
their future actions. Last Friday the proceedings 
took an exciting t.urn ; bloodshed seemed almost 
Inevitable. It leaked out that the funionists had 
secretly enlisted some 260 men from Augusta and 
other places for the purpose of forcing admission 
to the capltol. Tills created a sensation all over 
the State. The republicans got into a flurry. 
The militia ol the state was ordered out; several 
companies were stationed In the capltol, and 
everybody turned with breathless expectancy to 
the coming skirmish Such Is the situation at 
present. No violence has as yet taken place, but 
the military is ready should aggression be made. 
It is to be hoped shat this rivalry will be settled 
without bloodshed. The Maine Legislature has 
been petitioned for a subsidy for sugar beet 
culture. 
It wns the birthday ot Burns, the favorite bard 
of Scotland, last Sunday, the 25th. . . The first 
serious accident, has occurred on the elevated rail¬ 
road, New York City. On Saturday morning last., 
a locomotive jumped the track near usd street and 
fell to the street below, a distance ot 25 feet Only 
one car was attached, and It remained on the 
structure. None were killed, but seven persons 
were injured; some severely.

THE GIST OF THE MARKETS. 
Gist of the markets can be readily seen by the 
summary at the head of each. A bad tumble for 
wheat—Eh ? Hogs are coming in In large supply, 
and will be In larger, so soon as the roads become 
somewhat less Impassable through fathommiess 
mud a good cold spell wanted to raise prices. 
Many complaints nearly everywhere that these 
alternate thawlogs and freezings are likely to in¬ 
jure fall planted crops.
