PROMPT ATTENTION QIVKN TO ALL BUSI NESS ENTHUSTED TO THEM. January 6, 1898. A Mixed Recipe. A fashionable young lady visited a cookery school tho other afternoon where her attention was equally divided between a new dress worn by an acquaintance and the directions for making a cake. Upon returning home she undertook to write down tho recipe for making the cake for her mother, and the old lady was paralyzed when she read : "Take two pounds of Hour, three rows of plating down the front, tho whites of two eggs cut bias, a pint of milk milled round the neck, half pound currants with seven yards of | bead trimming, grated lemon peel with Spanish lace fichu ; stir well, and add a semi-titting paletot with visito sleeves, butter the pan with Grazilian topaz necklace, and garnish with icing and jotted passementerie. Bake in a moderately hot oven until the overskirt is tucked from the waist down on either side, and finish with large satin bows." Her mother said she wouldn't eat such a cake, and sho thought these now-fanglcd ideas in cooking ought to bo frowned down. -Watch tho labol on your paper if you want to know how your subscription ac count Btands with TUE COUKIKK.

Tho floods in tho up country ought to revive interest in the Appalachian forest preserve bill which is before Congress. Tho denudation of our lands resulting from tho destruction of forests is tho direct cause of an nual floods in tho rivers which bring about thc loss of millions of dollars of property, and unless tho cutting down of. the mountain forests is stopped, tho floods and destruction will grow worse in the future. The preservation of the Appalachian forests is of tho greatest finanoial importance to six States, and it would seem that with renewed efforts Con gress could be brought to see tho great importance and necessity of making an adequate appropriation. Millions of dollars are given to irri gation purposes in the West and tho demand of six Southern States for protection against annual floods is equally as pressing. In debates al ready had on thu Appalachian bill soveral Senators and members of the House of reputation and influence have spoken favorably of it, and an active campaign in its behalf in the next Congress would doubtless prove successful. Tho terrible flood in tho up country would bo a tolling object lesson in behalf the bill. Even oloud-bursts (which aro unusual, or, at least, not common visitations,) would bo loss destructive in their effects if tho land was not bare of trees. While tho preservation of the mountain forosts is a pressing neces sity, oven its accomplishment will not bo all that is required. Indi vidual owners of land everywhere ought to realize that tho indiscrimi nate cutting down of trcos is a costly error and will bo sure to bring about disastrous results. Instead of de stroying they ought to know by this tinto that it is thoir duty to encour age tho growth of forests, for not only do they prevent floods in a largo measure, but they aro reservoirs for tho storage of moisture which is use ful in times of drought.-Daily Record. ?M>S?

Old Piokens, Jnne4.-My last artiole did not appear in your paper, honce my silence Thinking that it may have miscarried or been misplaced, I write again. After a drouth of four weeks, which much retarded the germination of seeds and growth of crops, this vicinity has been visited by abundant rains and the farmers are more cheerful. Wheat and oats are almost a failure in this section. Much complaint among farmers about the inferior stand of cotton, but they say it will come now, that it bas rained and moistened the earth. Corn is up gene rally to a stand and looks promising. There is scarcely any fruit. Rev. Wade, a Presbyterian minister of Basley, preached an able sermon at Old Piokeus Sunday last to a small congre gation. Ho has promised to come again and as often as he oan. The holiness tent, which stood here for two weeks and under wbloh services were conducted by Messrs. Craft and Curtis, has departed. Mr. J. B. Hill and wife rejoice in tho Kleasing addition of anothsr young mein er to their family. The relatives and friends of Mr. W. H. Reede** aro grieved to hear of his serious illness, and nope for bis speedy recovery. Mrs. Carrie MoSwain,' with her two bright little boys, Elzie and Lee, is on a visit to her mother and brother, Mrs. I. C. and Mr. L. H. Lee. Little Elzie is a most remarkable child and seems to pos sess a wonderful memory. He is only five y oars old and yet he can recite from memory, in distinct tones, tho Lord's Prayer and the Twenty-third Psalm, "The Boy Stood on the Burning Deok," and "You can scarce expect one of my age to speak in publio on the stage/' Tho other, Lee, is younger, but promises to be equally bright. To hoar this little fellow, unembarrassed and with perfect pronunciation declaim, reminds me of the system of "old time schools," .when everybody, from the largest to the small est, every Friday afternoon was required to "make a speech," and every girl who could write to "read a composition." I well remember when the older boys in the school of John L. Kennedy, at Slab town, would select for their speeches ex tracts from those of 1 'atrick Henry, Cal houn, Webster, Clay, Hay ne, McDufflo, Curran, Gratton, and some classic orator would occasionally declaim the senti ments of Cicero or Demosthenes which had once resounded in the Senatorial halls of Greece and Rome. One fellow delivered the "Defense of Eugene Aram" so often that 1 he, boys called him the "Ram." Even Brutus and Mark Antony o'er the dead body of Imperial Ctesar were sometimes heard. Tho moro relig iously inolined would deliver extraots from the sermon of some prominent divine. The girls would genorally write about love, muslo, flowers, spring, bad boys, good girls, etc, thus proving that "out of the abundance of the heart tho mouth epeaketh." Tbe "Southern Reader and Speaker" was the book from whioh most of tho boys selected their speeches, and it abounded in tbe finest specimens of prose and poetry. 1 do not know by whom it was compiled, but I wish every boy in the South had one, and I also wish I had one, but I don't know where to get it. I do not know to what extent elocution is" taught in the sohools of to-day, but it is deemed by many most important in tho education of boys be cause it develops whatever oratorical power they may. possess and imparts to them a degree of self-possession, elo quence of speech and graoe of manner not otherwise easily acquired. o. ????? - TM ?.. conni KU and the Atlanta Consti tution and the Home and Farm one year for the ?HTS. of $2.

An Interesting Meeting-"Elect Infants" Dis cussed by the Body-Historio City. The General Assembly of the Presby terian church met in the historio town of Lexington, Va., on Thursday, May 21, last. The first duty was the ?lection of a moderator. Timber of this kind was abundant and fine, both among pastors and elders. On the third ballot Rev. A. O. Hopkins, D. D., of Charlestown, W. Va., was elected. He had been pastor of the Presbyterian ohuroh at that place for thirty-four years, and during the war was ohaplain of one of the regiments of the Stonewall brigade. The General Assembly is the highest court in the Presbyterian church, and is composed of more than two hundred members, oflioially known as Commis sioners. There is an equal number of pastors and ruling elders in the body. A session of ten dayB marked its history. This period was devoted to tba husi noss of tho church and to addresses made by our missionaries, a considerable num ber of whom wero present, and by per sons more or less distinguished, who were invited to be present, as well as distinguished divines who were members of the body. Altogether we had a sur feit of theso good things, and too little time to devote to tho best interests of the ohuroh. The retiring moderator, Dr. W. T. Hall, of the Columbia Seminary, in his opening sormon, delivered a very strong discourse on the inspiration of tho Bible. The audience was very largo, most attentive, and thoroughly stirred by the strength and eloquence of tho only official sormon of the entire session. The report on Theologioal Seminaries was interest inj; and important. There are tl ve of those institutions, located as follows: Union, at Richmond, Va.; Co lumbia, at Columbia, S. C. ; Southwest ern, at Clarkesvillo, Tenn.; Kentucky, at Louisville, Ky., and Texas, at Austin, Texas. Tho number of graduates this year is thirty-nine. The enrollment by each institution is as follows: Union 67, Columbia 27, Clarkesvillo 12, Kentucky 60, Austin 0. Austin is a new institu tion. The|aggregate enrollment is 167. The Assembly urged the importance of increasing the number of students. It is found, however, that many young men, instead of preparing themselves for the ministry, outer literary and practical in stitutions, thus fitting themselves for the ordinary avocations of life. This ten dency of the youth of tho country is greatly to be deplored, when the fields of the Lord, both at home and in foreign lands, are so inviting. There is another fact, in oonneotion with these institu- , t ions, that made a deep impression on my mind: Here aro five institutions on gaged in identically the same work. The cost of eaoh seminary tho year round is practically the same. Therefore, one of these institutions could accommodate these 167 students, and also as many moro as would roasouably attend, at about the samo cost. Thus by concen tration a very large sum could be saved. Aud besides, ono large institution, pre sided over by tho best talent of tho ohuroh, would do the work of all much better than it is now done. The report on systomatio bonefioenoe shows that throe new Presbyteries have been added to the list. Eighty-two Presbyteries made reports to tho Assem- ? bly. Tho contribution for foreign mis sions was $161,104; for Assembly's homo. ? missions, $27,004; looal home missions, 1 $160,222; oolorod evangelization, $16,181; ministerial relief, $17,530; education, ! $109,054: publication, $9,887; Bible , cause, $4,830; the whole aggregating nearly $487,000. This amount shows a gain of nearly $14,000 over the receipts of last year. Tho roport also contains other matters of an interesting oharaoter, but for them we have no room. The meeting at Washington and Lee University, on Friday morning, as de tailed by ono of tho papers, was inspir- ' ing. "in front of tho audienco was the < reoumbent statue of Lee, and on the walls wore portraits of Washington and LaPayette, of Robt. E. Lee, Thos. Jeffor son, President Wm. L. Wilson, Thos. A. Scott, W. W. Corcoran, Dr. W. N. Mer- ' oer, of New Orleans, and Zachary Taylor i -great men whoso very piotures are an . inspiration. Dr. Denny, president, of tho institution, in welcoming the Assembly, 1 spoke of the true aim of the college, i Tho response of Dr. Thereon H. Rice, ! of Atlanta, was a thrilling appeal to the , young men gathered there, to the reoog- : nition of the fact that while in the ooun eil of tho North there were many able i and powerful men, yet the one thing ? which characterized the generals and many of the statesmen of the South, was ' that they were pre-eminently Christians. 1 The estoom in which Generals Lee and I Jackson were held was not duo mainly j to the faot of their generalship, but to ; the fact that they were Christian gene- 1 rale. The address will not soon bo for- 1 Kotten by the students or by any of the ' oarers/' The subjoct of "oleot infants" elioltod groat interest in the Assembly. We use very fully the account of the Christian < Observer on tho disposition of this < troublesome question. The Presbytery of Tuscaloosa requested the striking out of tho word "elect" from the third seo Hon of Chapter X, Seotion 3. so that lt ! shall read: "All infants dying in in fancy," Ac. On this the committee on bills and overtures recommended a nega tive answer. The discussion on this subject continued for some timo, and was participated in by Dr. Hall and others opposed to any chango, and by Dr. Marquess, of Missouri, and othors iu favor of thc ohange. Dr. Marquess then Creposed a substitute for the report em racing throe points: (1) That the lan guage of the Confession ought not to be changed, for tho reason that the sec tion as thus amended would not fully stato and properly oorrelate the dootrines of grace as hold by our ohuroh in rela tion to tho salvation of infants; (2) that a foot-note be added to this ohaptor of the Confession, explaining that nothing in the Confession teaches that any who dio in infancy aie not saved; and (3) that a foot-note be added to the Confession declaring that our people beliove that those who dio in infancy are among tho number of tho elect. The first clause of tho substitute of Dr. Marquess was adopted by a large majority. The second clause, providing, for tho first foot noto, was lost by a vote of 65 to 78. Tho third clause, whioh was proposed as a foot note to tho Confession, declaring the present belief of Presbyterians, was lost by a voto of 67 to 8?. The voto was taken by ayes and nays. A large number of the members of the church believe this vote will settle the matter, but we do not think so. We beliove it will return again to plague us. The Commissioners of the South Caroliua Presbytery, Messrs. Mc I,in and Thomp son, voted against making any ohange in the Confession of Faith. Some of tho Commissioners from South Carolina voted the other way. Como 'Bsloners R. L. Kogers and J. P. Smith were absent when the vote was taken. Both of theso Commissioners had obtained leave of] absence before tho vote was taken-Mr. Hogers on account of very serious illness in bis family, and Mr. Smith for reasons entirely satisfactory to the committee on leave of absence. The many friends of Dr. Charles Manloy will be pleased to learn that he has been called to take charge of the Baptist church in Lexington, va., and is now residing there. Ile is the same genial Christian gentleman that he has always been, and is highly appreciated by all good people In the historio town of Lexington. T.

In the midst of all the problems facing him at New Holland, he stopped long enough to send his check for $500 to the Gainesville committee. It was entirely unsolicited ; nobody would have thought of asking bim for aid. After getting those people housed, he turned his attention to tho needs of the employees of the other mill, which must necessarily be closed for weeks, and arranged to give them work at the mill, working out the details of transportation ol the men, women and ohildren baok and forth by the eleotrio line so transportation would bo no burden upon the employees.

In spite of the pouring rain thou sands of people gathered in the vioinity of the palace. Everywhere troops of all arms were posted and field guns were placed in positions to quickly deal with any opposition to the newly formed government's will. The sol diers disoarded their cockades, bear ing the late King Alexander's cipher, and substituted For it flowers, green twigs and leave?. Bands of young men paraded the streets, waving flags and shooting : "Long live Karogeorgovitoh' 1" Flags were flying from nearly every house in Belgrade and there is abso lutely no display whatever of crepe or other .signs of mourning. The royal standard bas been lowered from over the palaoe. Reports from plaoeB outside Belgrade indicate that the country aooepts the Obernivitch over throw without regret. KILLED BY lUlOTHKIMN-LAW'. According to the best available information obtainable from tho mass of contradiction, tho crime was carried out by members of the sixth infantry, under the oommand of Cols. Misohicb and Michin. The latter is a brother-in-law of the late Queen Draga and is minister of public works in the new oabinet. The sol diers appear to have fought their way into the palace, shooting down the aide-de-camp on duly, Col. Naumovitoh, although, according to another version, tho king shot Nau movitoh because he opened the gate to his assailants, thereby creating a suspioion of his connivance. Some of the other persons killed were surprised in their houses, simul taneously with the attack on the pal ace. The bodies of all tho dead will be placed in coffins during the course of tho day.

Traffic between Columbia and Greenville had to be auapended. Tho only way tho Southern had of reaching Atlanta from Charlotte is by way of Columbia to Augusta and thence over the Geegin railroad. The Seaboard'a bridge over Sandy river, between Chester and Carlisle, went down, and the Seaboard ia using the Soolhorn'B track from Chester to Columbia, and thenoe over the Columbia, Newberry and Laurena road to Clinton, where it strikes ita own line again. The immediate damage to tho Southern ia hardly less than one million dollars, and it will be weeba if not months before the damage is repaired auffioiently to warrant the complete resumption of trahie over the regular routes.v The loss to thia railroad on aceonnt of the desi i ucl ion of the Pacolet and Clif ton mills ia many times tho direot loss auatained, for the freight reve nues that mu?t be suspended pend ing the rebuilding of tho milla would probably aggrogate millions.
