Parboil two fine chickens ; take them up in a large dish; cut them up, and separate all the joint bones one from another. Then take out the breast-bone, add a little of the water they were stewed in, a blade of mace and a pinch of salt. Cover close ly with another dish, and put them in to stew until the fowls are tender. Serve hot in the same dish." Cube fob Croup.

A farmer along the base of the hills, named Ezra Bensen in?, lost two young calves and an en tire litter of vonng pigs in the short Dace of eight davs. and he attributed the loss to the incursions of this strange animal. These reports came to the ears of Rudolph Pfieger, an old hunter and trapper who has passed fully forty years on the mountains. He made several efforts to hunt up the strange animal, but to no purpose. At last he con eluded to organize a small hunting party. He had some one to write to Schuylkill county to two old friends of his who were also engaged in hunting, and who had likewise passed more than half their lives on the mountains. They arrived on foot over the hills, and stopped at the cabin of Pfieger. Their names are Henry Vancolt and Thomas Anson, two Englishmen, who first came to the mines when the canal was built. but gave up their business and took to the hills soon afterward. The three staited out on different Cuba and the United States. .Tnst now the Cuban question is one of the topics of the day, and the papers are discussing the suDjeci mm xnucu earnestness.

Halt as an 'Aid to Manure, About five o clock one fine summer's morning, I noticed that where the salt had been sown the previous day, every grain of salt had attached to itself the dew, and formed on the surface a wet spot about tho size of a sixpence, the ground being generally very dry. On our light lands it consolidates them and makes them epecially firm and ac ceptable to the wheat plant, whose straw will stand firm and erect, although lour and a hail to hve feet long. It is also unfavorable to certain weeds by this consideration. It prevents the . 1 1 -r . ravages oi me wire worm, it is especially favorable to saline plants. such as mangolds, whose ashes contain fifty per cent, of salt. I never sow guano, except mixed with its own weight of salt. Like everything else, it has, I am sorry to say, greatly risen in price. I observe that all crops seem to thrive woll on land near salt water, especially where the land is drained. Car ot Hogs. The Colonial Farmer says : " A practical breeder-gives the following advice, which, in the main, we think sound, for those whose herds are not too large and who are engaged in mixed husbandry. To handle hogs to the best advantage, a pasture is needed of green grasses clover, blue grass and timothy ana n is Desi ii mere is no running water or stock ponds in the lot. Hogs do better where there are no branches or stock nonds to wallow in. Tn nla.rA thereof, have good well -water pumped lor tnem. nave troughs made, and nail strips across eight inches apart, to keep the hogs from lying down in the water, and let the hogs be put on floors. to keep them from digging up wallow ing holes. II any feed be given, it should be soaked in swill barrels for 12 hours before feeding no longer and zed to them as drink. Kverlaatlns; Fence Posts.

When vou have put vour land point about five miles off in the moun tains. They were well armed, and de termined to hunt up the mysterious animal if it were possible. Nothing happened to any of the party up to the time when irheger and Vancolt arrived at the tree, which was within a half hour of each other. Nothing was seen or heard of Anson. The sun had gone down behind the hills, and the forest was becoming gloomy in the dusk. An son was making his way slowly and cautiously through a deep and tangled underbrush, and when about one nun dred yards from the point of. meeting, 1 A 1 1 ne determined to pass up through a small ravine, whose sides were over hung with a dense undergrowth of shrubs. When directly under a small crag, and walking along with his head bent to the ground and his form doubled in creeping under a low vine, al of a sudden he heard a crash over head, and the next minute he felt the claws of an animal sink in his neck and flesh, accompanied with fierce growls. By a very ouick movement, Anson swung around his arms, grasped the animal by the neck with both hands, and held it in his vice-like grip. He then staggered baok to the clearing, when the animal shook off the hunter's grasp, and made an effort to bite his neck. Quick as thought the man grasped a knife in his belt, and with fearfm velocity swung it around and sunk it deep into the animal's side. The brute gave a long, low howl, and amidst the excitement man and beast rolled over on the ground, and as thev did so the former received three severe bites in the shoulder. The growls of the animal attracted the attention of he remaining two hunters, who came dashing through the brush toward the spot where the hunter and the brute were tusselling on the ground. The struggle did not last long. Anson plunged his knife the second time into the animal s body, and in a few minutes it rolled over and died. The hunters then examined it and found it to be a species of panther, and which was thought to be a catamount of the mammoth species. It weighed 246 pounds, and measured 4 feet 5i inches long, not counting the length of its tail, which was 2 feet 1 inch. It stood 2 feet 8 inches high, and was powerfully knit and very compactlv built.

The Spanish minister cannot do any of these things. There ara rmiv f hrAA American citizens with whom the Government of Spain can hold legitimate official intercourse on this important subject of the recogni tion of Cuba the President of the United States, the Secretary of State, and the American Minister at Madrid. TTnder these circumstances, it is not strange that Congress, the press, and the people at large, whose knowledge of Cuban affairs is based exclusively ou the one-sided statements of interested parties, should misunderstand tne duties and the material interests of the irovernment and people of the United States, in regard to this proposed recog nition of Cuba. We have never yet naa any disinterested evidence that the in surgents in Cuba are entitled to our respect and our sympatny, Decause oi their purity of motive and purpose ; or that they are so numerous, uu powerful, and have so fair a prospect of success, that nations at peace with Spain would be justified in recognizing their independence. Only a few years ago, there were sev eral millions of people in the United States who wished to dissolve their con nection with' the federal government. Among these were some of the wealth iest men, and many of the first states men and best military and naval offi cers of hiflrh rank in the country. There were among the insurgents, also, many men of unblemished private character, some thousands of clergymen of all de nominations, and some hundreds of thousands of active members of the various Christian churches. These milliens of insurgents were backed, heart and soul, by mothers, wives and daughters ; had old, strong, and stable State governments ; and organized themselves into a powerful confed eracy. They equipped and sent into the field, against the United States, from which they had seceded, immense armies. They fitted out war vessels, that all but swept our commerce from the seas. For nearly five years they stood their ground. To subdue them cost us half a million of lives, and a debt of some $2,000,000,000, which we shall probably never cancel. Yet, dur ing all that war, we protested against the recognition, by foreign powers of the confederacy formed by these re bellious States ; and mainly upon the ground that, without such recognition, they could not succeed in achieving their independence, and that foreign nations had no right to interfere in our domestic quarrels. And what more right have we to in terfere in Cuba than Spain, and France, and England had to interfere in our civil war? The carnage here was ten thousand times more than it has been in Cuba. The fact of the matter is that there never would have been a rebellion in Cuba, if it had not been excited by mercenary men in this country, and it would collapse in six months, were it not for expected aid from the United States. Let us take heed. We are in no condition to interfere in the domes tic affairs of other nations. Our civil war is hardly over. We have a large country, and various interests to care for more than we can well attend to. Let us look after our finances, our cur rency, our system of transportation, lest dissatisfaction may cause another rebellion in some section of the Union, and foreign nations may combine to disintegrate our country by acknow- Imterestlmff I tews from Haso smS Abroad.

A healthy liver secretes each day about two and a hif pounds of bile, which con tains a great amount of waste material taken from tho blood. When the liver becomes torpid or con gested, it fails to eliminate this vast amount of noxious substance, which, therefore, remains to poison the blood, and be conveyed to every part of the system. What must bo the condi tion of the blood when it is receiving and re taining each day two and a half pounds of poison ? Nature tries to work off this poison throus h other channels and organs the kid neys, .lunes. skin. etc. but these organs be come overtaxed in performing this labor in ad ditkm to their natural functions, and cannot Ions; withstand the pressure, and become various v diseased. The brain, which is the great electrieal center of all vitality, is unduly stimulated by the unhealthy blood, which passes to it from the heart, and it fails to perform its pfice healthfully.

By curing the dis ease of the liver we remove the cause, and thereby radically cure, not only the liver com plaint, but also the various other diseased conditions produced by it. It is generally. the custom to take strong liver stimulants for the liver complaint, and both the mineral and vegetable kingdom have been diligently searched to procure the most drastio and poisonous purgatives, in order to produce a powerful effect upon tne liver, and rouse the lagging and enfeebled ore an. These medicines are given freely and in large doses, which keep the liver in an excited condition while under their influence. This system of treatment is on the same principle as that of giving a weas ana aebiutatea man large por tions of brandy to enable him to do a certain amount of work. Every intelligent person can readily see, or imagine, the condition the man would be in when the work was done and the brandy withheld; and it is just so with the liver. When the stimulant is withheld, tho organ rapidly relapses into a more torpid or sluggish and weakened condition than before. What, then, is wanted ? Evidently medicine, that, while they arouse the liver to action, will do it, not by an irritating and stimulating effect, as is produced by a dose of great, repul sive, sickening, drastio pills, .calomel, blue mass, mandrake, or podophyllin, but by a tonio invigorating and strengthening influence upon that organ. Medicines are wanted that, while they cause the bile to flow freely from the liver, as that organ is toned into action, will, when their use is discontinued, leave the liver strengthened and healthy. Such medicines I am happy to have been able to discover and introduce to the afflicted for their relief kd cure. As a remedy for all the various mani festations of disease resulting from " Liver Complaint,' as it is usually termed, and as a blood purifier, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is positively unequaled. By it the liver and stomach are changed to an active, healthy state, the appetite regulated and re stored, the blood and secretions thoroughly punned and enriched, and tbe whole Petroleum Crada....

It was just as one of the morning trains was leaving, and the scene was witnessed by the passengers, who seemed rooted to the spot, gazing upon the man, who was expected On the 28th of August, 1830, some dajs before the opening of the Liver pool and Manchester railroad Mr. Cooper made his engine draw an open car, with passengers, to Ellicott's Mills, thirteen miles from Baltimore. The return was made in fifty-seven minutes. The engine was very small. The stage proprietors did not take very kindly to the revolution in travel ing, and met the engine at the Belay House, on its return a gray horse, of great beauty and power, being harness ed to another oar on the second track ; for Mr. Scharf says, "the company had begun to make two tracks to the mills." Then a race took place. At first the gallant gray had the best of it, for his steam was up and on, while the engine had to wait until the rotation of the wheels set the blower to work. Soob, when this was done, it became a well-contested raoe. As Mr. Scharf narrates: "The blower whistled; the steam blew off in vapory clouds ; the pace in creased ; tne passengers shouted ; the engine gained on the horse ; soon it ledging the independence of our rebels, to be instantly dished to pieces ; but he, by his energy and presence of mind, succeeded in in proper condition a cow can be kept lapped him ; the silk was plied ; the upon one-half acre for summer, and one acre lor winter. Even better than this has been done. Starting this late, pre pare the ground well, and sow one eighth of an acre of oats thickly for each cow as early . as you can ; two or three weeks alter sow the same amount of land to oats for later cutting. Then prepare the ground and bow one-fourth of an acre of corn for each cow. This will probably leave a surplus for win ter feeding. race vs neck-and-neck,nose-and-nose : then the engine passed the horse, and a great nurran nailed the victory. But it was not repeated, for just at this time, when the gray's master was about giving up, the band driving the pulley, which drove the blower, slipped from the, drum, the safety-valve ceased to scream, and the engine, for want of breath, began to wheeze and pant. In vain Mr. Cooper (who was his own engine-man and fireman) lacerated his hands in attempting to replace the band upon the wheel in vain he tried to urge the fire with light wood. The horse gained on the machine, and pass ed it ; and although the band was pres ently replaced and steam again did its best, the horse was too far ahead to be overtaken, and came in the winner of the race. A Labor Strike. Mr. Sullivan, one of the contractors for eroding the Capitol grounds of Washington, began woTk, paying labor ers $1 per day. Most of the men struck and drove away those willing to work. Mr. Sullivan then offered to pay $1.25, the same as is being paid by contrac tors on other sections of the work ; but the men refused to resume work for less than $1.50, and the work remains suspended. Some two or three hundred men, mostly colored, gathered around the grounds and posted the following notice : We had rather beg than work for less than $1.50 per day. If others at tempt to work" for less we will fight. This thing of swindling the laboring men has got to stop. Wages paid in Charleston, $2.50 ; Baltimore, $2 ; New York, 83 ; Richmond, $1.75. The wages they offer us is 75 cents. Don't work for less than $1 .50. " The men declare that they will not interfere, with those on the two sec tions on which work has been com menced, where $1.25 is being paid, but after these small jobs are finished no one will be allowed to work for less than $1.50 per day. No serious disturbance is anticipated, a body of policemen being on hand to prevent any out break. How He Got His Horse.

The negroes ran after the shooting, but were captured by the police. Gabriel was slightly wounded in the face. Capt Butler died, and Gabriel was taken from jail by a mob and shot.

The efficacy of this celebrated medicine is established by evidence which it is impossible to doubt. Among the thousands who have borne testi mony to its excellence, there is not one dissentient voice. In very many phases of inorganic disease it seems to be un failing. All diseases arising from a vi tiated state of the blood are surely eradicated by it It is an effectual lieve it, for the time being, but it produces radical and lasting benefit. There are, however, some peculiar constitu tions on which the Discovery will not prove sufficiently laxative to unclog the bowels, and instead of taking it m larger doses than two teaspoonfuls four times a day, if that quantity does not move the bowels twice in twenty-four hours, take from one to three of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets each day, or jut sufficient to produce the desired relaxation, which should fall short of a cathartic effect In fact, the combined use of the Pellets and the Discovery from the first, in the mild doses which I recommend, will be found most effec tive in arousing the secretion of the liver, ai.d subduing congestion or incarnation of that or gan. Do not use any other laxative or cathartic with the Discovery, as none other is so we;l calculated to work in harmony with and assist the Discovery in its congenial operation. Other cathartics will frequently counteract and interfere with, or neutralize the power and good effects of the Discovery ; they should not, therefore, be used. These little Purpnive Pellets, or 8ugar-Coated, Root and llerbel Juice, Anti-liuious Granules, on the oihrr hand, are so compounded as to harmonize with and assist the Discovery. Discovery and Pellets are sold by druggists the world over. a cube or ixvzb disease. Rusk, Tex., May 10, 1873.' Dr. B. V. Piebce Dear Sir : My wife last year at this time was confined to her bed with Chronic Liver Disease. I had one of the best doctors to see her, and he gave her up to die. wnen x came upon some or your medicines, bougnt one bottle and commenced using ne men weignea az pounds, now she 140 pounds, and is robust and hearty, taken eight bottles in alL so you see advocate oi your medicines. WM. MEAZEL. A WONDER TO HESSE LF. TajrKTOwjr, Delaware Co., O., March 20, 1873 To Dr. R. V. Piebce : Tour Discovery needs only a fair trial, and it will do all yon recom mend it to do, and more too. When I was 15 1 caught cold, and for 28 years I have been a perfect wreck of disease, and all the medicines and doctors' bills have run up at times to t200 and f300, and never any better, but worse, when I gave np all hopes last spring of living the summer through. I received one of your Account Books, and told my husband, after reading it, that it was too late to try further, but he said it was never too late. He went and bought two bottles, and I found it was helping m very much. Bince 1841 I was troubled with Catarrh and Bore Throat, and was almost entirely deaf in one ear, and my voice was dull as could be. There was constant pain in my head. Now my head is aa aound as a dollar, my voice is clear, and I have used ten bottles of your Discovery. It has cured me of Catarrh, Sore Throat. Heart Disease, Spine Affection, and Torpid Liver. Mv liver was very bad. My skin was rough. When I pnt my hand on my body it was like fish scales. Now it is smooth and soft as a child's. In conclusion, I will say I bave been well for three months. I am a wonder to myself and friends. This is but an imperfect statement ; half has not been told. Yours with respect. HESTER L1CKET. BEAD TEX rOXJiOWTJtO FOK THE VOTED SCOUT, "BCTTALO BILL.
