CLri. topher Dow idat, pastor oi a Lutheran church at Odhkosh, Wis., has expelled a printer from his church for being a union man, de;lar3s the New York Press. Ho says unionism is against the commandments of God. "To strike is taking alvantage of tho capitalist, and this is against the com mandment Thou shalt not (deal. Further, you shall honor your em ployer the same as a chill honors its parents. God male rich au I poor. God will not let a Christian starve. Those people who are sulTeriu; ?n th3 cities are not Christians." Mr. Dowi dnt believes that the workin-iuen should take what they are offirel by the capitalists and thank Got if they can get anything at all. If they can't get work it is God's will. "Is it not nearly time that some re Etriction was put upon the disposition of surgeons iu this town to slice open their fellow creatures in the interest of the complaint called appendicitis?"' nsks New York Life. "That bite ab surd end lamentable operations have copt the lives of useful citizens, will strengthen our opinion, which begins to be pretty generally current that ap pendicitis is epidemic in the minds of the metropolitan surg2ons. nnd that human life would be safer in New York if the operation was forbidden except by order of a court. The public knows altogether too much about ap pendicitis, and the doctors altogether too little. Two-fifths of the genuine ca-es result from scare in the patients, and ono or two more fifths of all tho cases exii.it only iu the imaginations of tho surgeons. The cure of such ltgit inate cases as are left is not worth what it costs. Appendicitis is played out. The invention of the operation for it has changed n very rare malady into a common aud dangerous diseaij." The withdaawal of Mr. Gladstone from public life cau only be compared to one European event in recent times, the retirement of Prinee Bis maick, thinks the New York Sun. "But it means more for Great Britain than the latter did for Germany. Tho Chancellor had finished his work, tho English Tremier has not. Bismarck's followers believed in the unity of G?r maDy, not because Bismarck believe I in it, but believed in Bismarck because he represented that principle. The Liberal party in England believed in Home Rule, for instance, because Mr. Gladstone believed in it. They never believed in Mr. Gladstone because he believed in Home Rule or any of the other planks in the plaLform. When Mr. Gladstone went into oflice the last time it was, leaving Rosebery out of all consideration, with one of the weakest Cabinets ever known in Eng lish parliamentary history. Not a member of it ha I any stauding before the country but as a lieutenant of the veteran leader. It was a Government of one man from start to finish.

Ths Patriot Bjried Amid the Tears of Thous an1t. Bi dai esth Dispatch:--While thous ands wept r.f'd griefstrickeu peasants knelt and ki6ed the hands of his sons, fionis Kossuth was buried. It vns Hungary's gloomy day, and with til her heart she mournerl for her elead leader. Enormous crowds had gather 1 from s 11 parts of the kingdom to itteml the funeral, and the streets vcre filled almost from wall to wall. The police and military had prepared 'or disorder, but nothing happened to lifdurb the oppressive silence. After a shori religious ceremony at the National Museum, where the dead patriot's body had lain in State, Maurice fokai, the author, eloquently revieweel the events of Kossuth's life. As the coftin was removed to the 'uneral car the throng outside sang the revolutionary air, "Szozat," which was echoed aud re-echoed down the streets through th 300,000 spectators. Ths funeral procession, which was nearly live miles long, pissed between 15,000 voluntary guprds, w ho kept the throngs back. The Honveds of 1818 led the line, carrying their old standards and flags Behind them walked a thousand wo men, clothed in black, and then a con ut less number of mourners in car riages and on foot. Several orations were delivered at the grave, which was between those of Deak and Batthvanyi, two patriots of his own time. After the coftin had been lowered into the vault, peasants crowded up.kneltaud kissed the hands anil clethes of Kossuth's sons. Thous ands w ept as the last wordi were spoken over the coffin. "Lowers" and "Hams." Chahlotte, N. C Cnpt. Tom Tate, conductor on the Florida vestibule be tween Charlotte ami Jacksonville, looks a good deal better than his hand writing does. On his Charlotte trip he had orders for two berths here on the train going north, and at Chester, S. C, he telegraphed the Charlotte agent to "reserve two lowers." The operator at Chester sent the message Chailottein this shape: "Secure two -inns." Gresham supplies the elining cars at this place, so the message, in stead of going to Capt. Fayssoux, the ticket agent, for whom it was intended, went to Gresham. Time was limited, but Gresham hustled up town, and when the Florida vestibule came in he was there with two hams, one weighing 17 pounds and the other 20 pounds. The cook on the dining car said he had not ordered them and didn't want them. Gresham showed the telegraphic order, but the cook shook his head. Gresham took the bams into the bag gage room ami hung theruup, declaring at the same time that "somebodv had j to pay for 'em." Then he hunted up Capt. Tate, and it all came out. "Hams! ha! ha!" roared the Captain. "Man alive! Why, I telegraphed for 'low ers.'" Gresham still has the hams. Wilson Still Convalescing. San Antonio, Tex. Congressman W. L.

Arl!v?rfg,at!ie rj ?;ie: he ascertained" that since Monday Miss Ariulc L&uf 14 had been nnable to sleep; that she was despondent and nervous, something unusual with her, and on that very morning, when her father had brought a bowl of water to her bedside, she had been seized with a terrible paroxysm. After rallying shereeted somewhat and then asked for a toothbrush and mua to rinse her rcouth, which were hardly brought in sight ere she was again seized with violent convulsions, this tiiiie requiring to be Iield, arid so oil througheiut the day these paroxysms, fearful to behold, kept recurring, dur itig which her etrength became won derful and it required strong hands to hold her. Nor could she swallow, though her thiist was excessive. In her cnlmer moments she was re signed b her fearful fate, and touching the wounds on her arm exclaimed: "Perhaps it is for the best; these will be the means by w hich I w ill soon be in heaven." Dr. Wiley and Dr. Shanks did all that their ekiil e'etnld suggest to relieve her sufferings, but she herself knew that her case was hopeless, and on Fri day morning in answer to her question, Dr. Wiley told her there was no hope and she seemed resigned. A little later she prajed with her pastor, and then remarked to some ft lends that she had only a fw hours to lire. J ust before her death, w hieh occurred at 1 :20 Friday afternoon, the family assembled around her bedside, while her brother, Prof. C. B. Canaday, of Roanoke College, led in prayer. Her death occurred in one of the terrible spasms of pain, and when Doctors Wi ley, Shaiika and Killeu returned from the house they said that she seemed as one who had been asphyxiated. A subscription is being'taken up at Salem to send the children who were bitten by the faiiu dog to the Pasteur Institute, New York, for treatment. A Vafjcbe Textile Plant. Interest in the cultivation of the ramie plant in this country has been increased by the statement that an English concern known an the Textile Syndicate has secured 25,000 acres of land in Mexico and intends devoting it to the raising of these plants. Mr. I'elix I'renierey, who has given much time nnd labor to their growth, writes to the Manufacturers' Reeorel from Ar cadia, Texa, as follows regarding the Gnglifdi people: "f hey are negotiating for a big ha ienda iu the State of Vera Cruz, where ramie is already grown to a cer 1 1 i n extent. Those gentlemen wrote me several weeks ago: "We shall be -jlad to know if any ramie ribbons can te obtained from the United States, as ve are buyeri of all that can be shipped in good condition. We would ir range, bankers' credit for the ship aieuts, to be elrawn against, accom panied by shipping documents and policy of insurance.' "This company has its textile works t Carpenter's Road, Stratford E, London, where the ribbons are de gummed and bleached ready for comb and card. "There are two A No. 1 houses in Newark, N. J., which together would take not less than thirty or forty tons of bleached ramie fibres per month at at most renumerative prices. A first class house in Patterson also is in need of ramie material. The latter named furnished the United States Depart ment of Agriculture with that fine col lection of self-manufactured ramie fab rics which were exhibited at the World's Fair. Ramie ribbons or fibres can be sold in New York city and the Sew England States in any quantity at the highest figures known, but seem ingly there are no means to induce our planters to undertake this culture, of which one acre after the first year of planting yields better profits than fifty acres of cotton at actual prices." Experts in textiles consider the ramie product to be as fine as cotton, almost as glossy as silk, while it is cheaper than linen and stronger than hemp. From two to tlnec crops of stalks can be rained f.-om one plar.t in a season, ami it is said to be hardy enough to withstand extreme rnojr.ture nn't drought, though liable to suffer from heavy frosts. The roots will like from fifteen to twenty years, and .as high as 31.00 per pound has been paid for the seed iu America. China ox poitsover 50, 000,000 pounds of it yearly. Among the widely diversified pro ducts niaeie of ramie are ropes and cables that exceed the strength of manilla hemp, tablecloths that excel the glass of Irish liuen, lac-e that equals the. delicacy ef cotton and surpasses its tlurability; also plushes, velvets, dama.sks and brocade . Ramie is com bined with cottou, linen, wool anil silk, end it always a l l.-to the mixed texture an element of greater usefulness er beauty. I a handkerchiefs, cravats and hos'eiy, in cambrics, camlets and shawls, in alpacas, carpets and drap eries, it isconsidered.w ith the possible exception of silk. superior to the fibres with which it is interwoven.

It is pretty to look at and good to eat, but so very many Cooks serve it unwashed that people are ehv of it. The same care lessness has 'brought garden lettuce and water cresses under suspicion.

Grated end squeezed lemon skins are excellent to clean brass and copper with. Rub the skin thoroughly with soap, then dip in bath brick, or finely sifted coal ashes. Polish with a dry woolen cloth or chamois. Burning oyster and clam shells in the kitchen stove will prevent the for mation of clinker?. Use the covers of tin lard and cot tolene pails to place under pots and pans when the stove is too hot. When soup stock is at a discount because of the large amount of meat used, put up a supply for warm weather emergency dinners by sealing in air-tight glass fruit jars when it is boiling hot.

Creamed Codfish Pick into small pieces, after soaking till soft enough to handle, enough codfish to fill a pint bowl. Pour cold water over it and heat slowly to boiling; then pour off the water and replace with enough fresh, boiliug water to cover it ; cook slowly for a half hour or till tender, then if any water remains pour it off. Season with a spoonful of butter, ft bit of pepper and a thickening of one tablespoon of flour mixed to a paste iu one pint of rich, sweet milk. If more salt than remains in the fish is neces sary, add it, after tasting. Boil till it thickens slightly. This is nicely dipped over toast or served with pota toes cooketl dry and mealy, and salted only. Potatoes may be cooked with the codfish, and the whole seasoned as above. Peel the potatoes and slice into thick slices and add them to the fish after the first water is drained "1 and it is put to cook in the boiling water. Codfish Balls Soak the fish till soft and pick into fine shreds; have a quantity of cold masheel potatoes or cold boiled rice. Mix the fish thor oughly with either, using half the quantity of fish that you do of pota toes er rice, and make out into little round flat cakes. Dip them in beaten egg and roll in flour, 6ifted meal or finely powdered cracker crumbs nnd fry in hot butter or drippings. Codfish Leaf Prepare the fish as for balls, mix with the potatoes or rice, or both may be used ; aeld pepper and a dust of powdered Bage, er celery salt ; mix with beaten egg, and if the mass eloes not seem rather moist aeld a little sweet milk. Tour into a pan or pudding elish and bake elone and brown. Broiled and Fried Codfish Soak the fish in large pieces; remove all outside bones and any that may be removed without tearing the pieces apart. When freshened sufficiently fold in a napkin to dry and broil over a clear lire. Drop bits of butter over the pieces while hot. Fish prepared for broiling may be floured or dipped in crumbs and fried in butter. Boiled Codfish -Select the largest and thickest pieces ; after freshening tie in a cheese-cloth napkin and boil till tender. Make a sauce by melting a spoonful of butter, and while hot, stirrfng into It a scant teaspoonTul ol sweet milk and a pinch of salt and bringing all to a boil. Remove the fish from the napkin, place them on a platter and elip the sauce over them, sprinkle lightly with pepper. Farm, Field and Fireside. 4 NORTH CAROLINA LYNCHING. They Had no Rop3.
