Nothing is more easy. When the

when the air is in the body its owner
floats. Let any one slowly draw in his
breath as he draws back his legs and
Kushns forward his arms, retain it while
e is preparing for the stroke which is
to propel him, and slowly allow it too
through his lips as his arms are paantxi
back from be to re his head to his sides

well for us to adopt the Swiss custom of

makes a list of such things as are need

ist is sent to her friends. One will say,
"I will send her this," and mark that as
provided for. Another will give her
that, and sometimes when anything
valuable is needed, two or three will
combino and buy it. After the wedding

American Leaf Tobacco.
The New York Commercial and Fi
nancial Chronicle, of the 5th instant,
has an interesting article on Ameri
can leaf tobacco, and the prospects of
the trade. Since the great speculative
movement of 1374-6 in leaf tobacco, at
tended by an almost unprecedented
rise in the values, the trade has been
dull, accompanied by a steady decline
in prices, which has at length brought
them down to very low figures. At
present great diversity of opinion seems
to exist as to the immediate future of
the market, a revival of .speculative
activity and an important advance in
rices being looked for in many quar
rs. The Chronicle notices at length
the influences which are likely to afYec-t
prices. We extract the following:
The total exports of leaf tobacco from
the Atlantic and Gulf ports last year
were 241,000 hhds, and the consumption
65,000 hhds, making a total of 308,000
hhds.
With regard to the supply, present
and prospective, the outlook is not fa
vorable. The crop for 1878 was esti
mated on the first of January at 250,000
hhds., against 342,000 hhds., in 1877, but
later estimates put the crop at about
220,000 hhds. The stocks on the 1st of
January in all American markets were
101,000 hhds., which make the prospec
tive supply for 1879 from 321,000 to 351,
000 hhds, against 419,000 hhds for 1878,
a deficit of from 68,000 to 98,000 hhds.
Beside this the planting season of 1879
has not been favorable. The work
ahould have been completed by the
20th of May, whereas it was delayed
till about the first week in June, and
the temperature since planting was fin
ished has been much too low; conse
quently, a deficient crop for the current
year is generally expected. . This is an
additional element of strength to prices.
The stocks of hhds. in the principal
markets of the United States were per-?
mitted to accumulate, In anticipation of
the redaction la the home duty. This
was Anally accomplished, to take effect
on the 1st of May. The stock of 101,
000 hbds last January was against 77,000
hhds on the 1st of January. 1878: and
yet the visible supply in the markets of
tne woria was on ine ist oi January,
1879, only 449,600 hhds, against 491,200
n the 1st or January, 1878 a decrease
of 41,600 hhds, in the face of a crop in
the United States fully . 100,000 hhds
short and a planting season thatrthreat
ens a reputition of the deficiency for
another year.
But, on the other hand, there is good
reason to apprehend a falling off n the
aemana. me -nara times" nave ma
terially reduced the consumption of
tobacco throughout Europe. Great
Britain and Germany are understood to
be t carrying pretty full stocks. That
prices have been very low is undoubt
edly true, and the slight advance that
has been obtained in the past month is
due mainly to a natural' reactfon.
There is, however, some speculative
feeling based on the statistical position
and the unfavorable crop prospects.
The interior markets are higher than
this. Some fn rth er ad vance may there-
fore be expected: but a recurrenoe of
the experience of 1874-5 is neither to be
anticipated nor desired. So reckless a
speculation works injury, and only
injury, to all legitimate interests.
Something that Interests Ilonse-
Breeze Pudding. Dissolve one-half a
box of gelatine in a pint of boiling
water: add two oupruls of sugar and
the iuice of. two lemons: after this has
become cool (not cold), break into it
the white of three eggs : beat all to a
stiff froth; make a soft custard with the
yolks of the eggs, adding three other
and a quart or miK; pour tne Whites in
to moulds, and, when ready for use,
turn them out, pouring the custard
over.
To Remove Sunburn. Milk of al
monds, obtained at the druggist's, is as
good as anything to use, and to keep
wrinkles out of the face use tepid water
instead of cold; if the wrinkles are
deepseated apply a little turpentine to
the wrinkles for a few nights before re
tiring. Some ladies use a patch of
court plaster for the wrinkles, which
soon eradicates these emblems of care
and age.
Stains from, Dresses. Stains from
fabrics may be removed by moistening
the spot with a solution of Epsom salts
in a few drops of hot water. Rub it in
well the first time, and then moisten
again. Next fill a tin vessel wkh boil
ing water, and set on the stained place
for a few minutes, and afterward wash
out in soft water. It is advisable to
have articles thus treated washed im
mediately. Cleanliness and Health. We are de
sired to remind housekeepers that
when they commence the periodical
renovation of their domiciles especial
attention should be given to cellars.
Thoy should not only have the benefit
of thorough ventilation but they
should be whitewashed, and any par
ticle of decaying vegetable matter or
other objectionable substance removed.
Scrupulous care in these particulars
may prevent sickness.
Oatmeal Pudding. Mix two ounces
of Scotch oatmeal in a quarter of a pint
of milk; sweeten to taste, and stir over
tho tiro for ten minutes; then put in
two ounces of sifted breed crumbs; stir
until the mixture is still'; then add one
ounce of shret suet, and cne or two
well beaten eggs; add a little lemon fla
voring or grated nutmeg. Put the
pudding into a buttered dish, and bake
slowly for an hour.
Arrowroot Pudding. Boil a qnart of
milk and make it into a thick batter
with arrowroot. Add the yolks of six
eggs, half a pound of sugar, one-qnar-ter
of a pay ml of butter, naif a nutmeg
and a little grated lemon peel. Bake it
nicely in a pastry. When done, stick
slits of citron all over the top, and pour
over it the whites of the six eggs, beat
en stiff, sweetened with three or four
tablespoonfula of sugar, and flavored
to the taste.
To Bake Eggs. Butter a clear smooth
saucepan, break as many eggs as will
be needed into a sancer one by one. If
found good slip it into the dish. No
broken yolk allowed, nor must they
crowd so as to risk breaking the yolk
after put in. Put a small piece of but
ter on each and sprinkle with pepper
and salt, set into a well heated oven,
and bake till tho whites are set. If the
oven, is rightly heated it will take but
a few minutes, and is far more delicate
than fried eggs.
The Bedford Inquirer says that a tea-
spoonful of kerosene to a gallon of
water will destroy currant worms,
green flies, rose worms and other in
sects without injury to the most deli
cate plants, even fuchsias, geraniums,
callas, etc., if applied with a sprink
ling can two or three times a week.
We learn from another source than

that one ounce of srum camphor dis

After spending a few days at this

are not only the principal at ti actions,
but sailing up the Potomac, seeing
numberless reminders of the late war,
and such meals as they do give you. As
I write, soft crabs, tender beef, and lota
of other good things I can see moving
around. As we approach Wash

tinctly visible from the boat. if
you have a good imagination yon can see
him walking to and iro under the lovely
trees that surround his house. Wash
ington is soon visible, and from the
boat, that magnificent building, the
Capitol, is seen: There is no place like
Washington, except home, of course. If
you visit Washington be sure and stop
at the Metropolitan Hotel; more elegant
rooms and better fare cannot be found.
My trip was limited, and I had only a
few hours in which to see wnat I could.
The capitol was first visited. If there

A WARM RECEPTION.
A Monutain Editor at I.arr In, an
Armory.
Charlotte Observer.
A sensation of quite a threatening
character was produced in Shelby last
Thursday afternoon. It seems that Mr.
J. P. Babington, editor of the Aurora,
published in that town, published a
statement concerning the conduct of
some ladies, guests at Cleaveland
Springs, which was highly offensive to
their friends, and on the following day
a gentleman, also a guest there, went
over to Shelby to see him about it, in
tending, it is said, to cowhide him on
sight. The editor was out of town, and
a meeting was subsequently arranged
for 3 o'clock the following afternoon.
Accordingly the gentleman and a friend
of his went to the offiVe at the hour
designated. When, ihey. entered the
office,1 Mr. Babingtoif leveled si shot
: gun at them and forbade them to ap
proach. ..Some one standing byr seized
the 'gun and attempted to wrench it
from Mr. Babington's hand with a view
of preventing bloodshed. A friend of
the, latter,' probably one of the printers
in the office,, drew a pistol ana said he
would shoot the man who attempted to
take the gun from Mr. Babington. The
party referred to above let gO his hold
on the weapon, but by this time a num
ber of persons had collected, and by a
combined interference the affair was
brought to a close without bloodshed
Considerable excitement prevails yet;

CATIIOXICISM IX AMERICA.
The Latest Deeament of the Propa-
funda 1st Rome Coneernlita; its
' : . Organisation.
i St. Lopw, July 9. The America, a
German, daily published in this city,
will to-morrow contain the latest docu
ment of the Propaganda in Rome con
cerning the organization of the Catholic
Church in the United States. This doc
ument, the genuineness of which is
vouched for by prominent Western
Bishops, declares :
. First. That the instructions of July
20, 1878, do not apply to the transfer, of
priests from one congregation to an
other, the "decree of the second Council
of Baltimore remaining intact in this
respect. Bishops, it is true, shall take
care not to transfer priests against their
will from one mission to another with
out grave and rational cause, but only
in case of final deposition of a rector
from office is previous consultation of
the newly-created Councils obligatory.
Second. That even if the election of
new counselors or judges is done in
synod the election of the same properly
belongs to the -Bishop, and the vole. of
the synod is merely consultative, i If
the election is done in the synod it be
longs absolutely to the Bishop, but if
the choice is made to fill vacancies it is
becoming that the Bishop should first
hear the vote of the removing counselor.
Third. That the vote ol new councils
are always consultative, definite deci
sion being reserved to the Bishop, but
the YOte and opinion of the counselors
must always be inserted in the pro
ceedings.
fourth. That by the instructions of
the Propaganda of Juy 20, 1878,-the ex
traordinary power ol the liishop to
suspend the priest by reason of very
important cause and urgent necessity is
not interfered with. It is lawful for
any rector to bring before the Council
another priest subject to the approval
of tho -Bishop, and as ms assistant or
his attorney.
This document is signed by Cardina,
Simeoni, Prefect of- the Propagandel
aud J. B. Agnazzi, secretary of tha
same congregation. .

Detroit Press.
Fever and ague will now be a luxury
in which even the poorest can indulge,
now that the duty has been taken off
quinine. Quinine is not the most pleas
ant stufl in the world to take. It is not
likely to form the basis of a syrup for
soda water drinks. No person has ever
been caught taking quinine for pleas
ure; still when a person wants quinine,
it is like wanting a pistol in Texas, he
wants it bad. Everyone must rejoice
to see a tax of forty-five per cent, taken
from this bitter but valuablo drug. It
is estimated that this tax has wrung
from a f'evor-stricked people 80,000,000
since it was put on.
