-The Farm Journal sayf : To have
'fresh eggs the year round, keep v.hena
that wul lay them fresh evefy day. To
prevent fresh eggs from spoiling on
your hands, eat them or sell them to
some one else. We make no extra
charge foi these two valuable lints!
The usual inquiries abouS preserving
eggs for several months have arrived
ith the return or summer. in answer,
we have, aa usual, to say that we kaow
no art by means of which feggs can be
made to retain the freshness o tneir
youth for six months or more, hor do
we know of any method of rejn vena
tion them after they have reached their
dotage. It has been profed that eggs
will keep in fair condition ftwo oi three
months, simply packed io salt; or in
dry, sifted coal ashes. The common
method of keeping them itf lime water is
probably as good as any. The formula
is two pounds of lime, onf pint of salt,
and four gallons of waterS; blake the
lime in hot water.: Put yi only fresh
eggs, and keep them covered with the
liquid. Eggs thus packed and placed
in cold storage, when the temperature
is between 35 and 40; jill probably
eome out in edible condition six' months
later : but thev will not be fresh eggs,

London, August 28 The Russian
papers hope that the interview between
Prince Bismarck andJI. de Giers, the

settlement of the Bulgarian difficulty.
The eventual return of Prince Alexander

Germany.
The Gazette at St. Petersburg ad

more decisive overthrow. The publica

eign action lor tne settlement 01 tne
Bulgarian affairs. This opinion has

Liverpool made a somewhat firmer show,
especially on the early months, sup
posed to be through inability to get
cotton forwarded fast enough to satisfy
contracts, and reflection here- put
rates up some 4a5 points. Cover
ing took place on the strengthening,
but in general the May demand was a
made rate and cautious, and before the
close the gain had about all been lost,
with the tone rather easier throughout.

their backers and friends, were on the

Athens, Greece, August 28. Greece
has again been visited by a earthquake,
which has been most disastrous in the
Mores, and in which the loss of life,
according tojthebest information .reaches
the enormous figure ofTOO.,The village of
Pyrgos and the town of Pftflatra, :l?oth
situated on the western oast4of the
Morea, were the chief sufferers and these
furnish, it is believed, all that have
perished. In Pyrgos not a house is left
standing, while Philatra is almost swept
from the face of the earth, swallowed
up in the convulsions of the earth.
Shocks were experienced throughout
Greece, in a greater or less degree. In
the town of Seante every house! was
damaged and the inhabitants fled in
terror to the : open country. Several
towns in Italy were also visited by the
earthquake, but Hot tetany serious ex
tent, Naples, Brindisi, oggi a, Cascrta
and Faranto being of the number. ;
ALexANDRiA, August 28. Violent

NIAGARA f ALLS.
.Bcffalo, Aug. 27. Now it in the
great showman, Adam Forepaugh, Jr.,
who is to startle the world by his prow
ess in dealing With the natural dangers
of the great Niagara, as his manager
announced here today for the first time. ,
He has decided to walk his horse Blon-
din over a tight cable stretched on the
brink of the great cataract September
13. I bad a long talk this afternoon
with Forepaugh's representative, Thos.
H. Davis, during which he said: 1
"Blondin is a Morgan colt by Adam,
Jr., bought near West Chester,! Pa.,
three years ago. The animal was four
years old last spring; it is fourteen and
a half hands high, is compactly built
and weighs 800 pounds. Adam began
training the colt at Philadelphia! early
last fail to walk the rope. At first the
rope was placed but two feet from the
ground, but. before the circus started
out he could do a two and a half-inch
rope thirty feet long and twenty feet
from the ground. He goes backward as
well as forward, and has never yet had
a fall. He has no fear whatever ef fall
ing, and I don't think there is any
doubt but what he will go over the
Niagara gorge all right on a still day.
He wears a patent rubber shoe and is
very careful and sure-footed. It will
be a big expense, but we don't 'care
about that, for it will be a big card for
the Bhow, and a still bigger one for
the Madison Square garden next winter
if he does it. ' .
"It is easier for a horse to valk a,
rope than a man, after he knows how,
for he has more legs to balanoe himself
with., Animals are not credited with
half the intelligence they possess.
Blondin is of a mild and tractable dis
position. I don't think be will be afraid
at all, but if he should be, Leslie, who
does the slack wire and tarns somer
saults with boots and spurs on, will go
with him. Cooke is at Niagara now,
and aa soon as he gets the cable ar
ranged we shall begin advertising for
September 13. Blondin has been a
great feature of the show and I we are
going to make still more of him.f

HUNDRED YARDS.
Nbw York, August 28 Lawrence
Donovan, a youDg pressman j jumped!
from the Brooklyn bridge early this
mofning, to win a bet of five : hundred
dollars. He was picked tip uninjured.
He; was taken in a covered wagon to the
centre of the bridge, where the distance
to the water is about twenty-eight feet
greater than where Brodie jumped. . At
the proper point he alighted, ran to the
cable, to which he swung by his hands
long enough to straighten out, let go,,
went straight down to the Tffcter, came
up and w ble to swim 100 yards.
His friends awaited him : with a
boat and took him ashore, where; he
was arrested, mere were plenty oi
bridge policemen at their posts, but
Donovan was over on the Blue before
they could lay their hands cn him, and
was no use to follow him after that.
The bet was made two weeks ago in
the, course of a. discussion about the
chances of escaping alive from the ven
ture. Donovan had clothed himselt in
a pair of well-padded drawers and can
vas shoes, with two pounds of lead on
the soles.

There is no human lovealike a mother's

that follow it can profit by iti improve

fatherly love by a motherly j standard.
'As one wcom his mother cOmforteth,
sol will comfort you," He -says: and
what more than this could He say? And
many a stroDg man who was first oomfort

AY hen gruff old Dr. Johnson was bv

as if he were still her wayward but lov

for all that I have done iU, and of all

Qaincy Adams did not part with his

When president Nott, of Union e llege.

The State convention at Raleigh Wed
nesday renominated the old ticket for
the supreme court bench. It is con
ceded by all that the affairs of tho court
could not be placed in better hands, yet
old age was urged as an objection to re
nomination, and strong efforts were
made to secure younger men. Had this
idea prevailed it would have perhaps
been better, both for the judges them
selves and the State, yet no set of judges
could have possibly been nominated
who would have polled a larger voter in
November, and who would have given
more satisfaction in their court rulings,
if health permits them to serve the
eight years for which they will be re
elected. Elisabeth City Falcon.
In its wisdom a large 'convention of
the democracy of North Carolina has
nominated for re- election to the supreme
court the eminent gentlemen, who so
faithfully and ably filled that office the
past several years. The will of the ma
jority of the democracy is our will is
the will of the people. Of chief justice
Smith and justices Ashe and Merrunon
we need not, speak. They have im
pressed themselves upon the brightest
pages of North Carolina history; they
merit all the confidence and esteem a
grateful people can confer upon distin
guished and patriotic merit. The peo
ple of North Carolina will endorse by a
very large majority these gentlemen for
re-election another term. Asheville
Citizen.
While the nominees are not our oho ice
we bow in submission to the will of the
party legally and in accordance with
usage expressed. It is, we believe, the
firet time in the history of our civilized
world, that gentlemen of suoh advanced
age were ever put forward as the ex
ponents of the law in so exalted a posi
tion. That these old gentlemen are all
pure and incorruptible, and enjoy in an
extraordinary manner the entire confi
dence of the people, is evidenced by this
action on the part of the convention.
We will work unceasingly for their
election, trusting that the good Lord
will preserve their bodily and mental
health until such time as they can re
tire, in the language of Simeon of old,
"Now let thy servants depart m peace;
according to thy word."
lhe court is composed of excellent
lawyers and high toned Christian gen
tlemen, and will doubtless have no op
position. Warrenton Gazette.
Tho democratic State ' convention,
which met in Raleigh Wednesday, nom
inated the old supreme court W. N.
H. Smith for chief justice and A. S.
Merrimon and Thos. S. Ashe for asso
ciate justices. This is the result we ex
pected and we are satisaed with it. The
gentiem- n constitute a court whioh is an
honor to the State, taking rank with
their illustrious predecessors of bygone
days. The democrats of the State can
voto for these gentlemen with feelings of
pride in the work of their convention,
and not with feelings of self-abasement,
as is too often the case. Monroe En
quirer.
The work done by the convention will
be entirely satisfactory in this section of
the state. There is one matter the next
legislature should not fail to do, and
that is increase the strength of the bench
numerically. There , should be five
members of the supreme court. Three
cannot keep up with the work. Salis-

The democratic campaign book, pre
pared under the auspices of the demo
cratic congressional campaign oommittee.
will Boon be ready for distribution.
The committee ha3 not resorted to, the
republican methods of levying assess
ments upon officeholders for their cam
paign expenses, nor has any officeholder
in the United States been requested to
contribute a cent. Suoh contributions
have in no case been received. The
book will oontain a spioy review of the
past administration of the government
under republican rule, and will discuss
a number of subjects of contemporane
ous importance. It will oontain an ex
haustive history of former abuses of the
pension omoe and of the prostitution to
party ends of this bureau.
It will oontain a discussion of the
Squandering of the public domain by
the republican party, and of the recent
movements inaugurated by democrats to
restore it to the original owners, the
people. It will discuss past delinquenci
of responsible offioers and agents of the
government and indicate the oorrection
of abuses ia that line.
It will oontain a summary of the ao-
tion of the last Congress touching mat
ters of importance to the people, and
make a fair exhibit of the results accom
plished. It will give a history of the
war on the President by the senate ana
the surrender by that body of the false
issue which it had raised for political
endB. In short, the book will be a fair
and truthful presentation of political
matters. The committee is not in pos
session of funds to enable it to distribute
the book gratuitously. In order that
the volume may be thoroughly distrib
uted the committee has determined to
Bend it ore paid bv mail to anv person
who will make application therefor and
transmit the sum of $1. To encourage
the distribution eight copies will be
sent for &5.
