Coffee Cake.?Ouo cup of brown sugar, one cup of butter, ouo cup of strained coffee, one cup of molasses, three eggs, well .; beaten, one pound of raisins, two cups of. flour, t>vo teaspoonfuls baking powder. Eat hot. for luucbeou, accompanied with iced milk. 51'anisu 1'ickled unions.?Cutouious into slices, put a layer of them iuto a jar, sprinkle with cayonne pepper and salt, then add another layer of onions aud proceed as before. Proceed in this way until the jar is full, and pour cold vinegar over all till covered. They will bo fit to use in a month. Russian Salad.?Cut up raw apples, aud every kind of available vegetables into small slices, and lay them in a shallow dish, with salt, a littlo vinegar aud pepper, and tho best oil. Tho dressing must thoroughly saturate the mixture for twelve hours, and then this salad will be not only a new but ft good dish. To Roir. Rice as in India.?Into a sancftpan of twp quarts of water, when boiling, throw a tablespoonful of salt; then throw in one piut of rico, alter it has been well washed iu cold water; let it boil twenty minutes. Throw it cut into a cullender, and drain off the wrter. When this has been done, put the rice back into the can -t-- i i-. \jl ouuv>v.|'du, vii itu uj iuu uru, una ici li stand near lbs firo for some minutes, -or until required to be dished up; thus the grains appear separate and not tuashed: together. ? Covered and Uncovers#Manure.? Some yours ago, says an evperienOed farmer, I bad a lot of sheep wintered iuftmilding and yard fenced in with high pailings to keep out worthless curs. Ia the second story of the building hay was kept for the sheep, and fed to them under the building, which was open at one end, some sis or seven feet high, into theyhrd wheretroughs were kept for feeding grain. During the winter manure accumulated under tbe building to twelve or fifteen inches in depth and extended gradually tupcring to the ground, out iulo the yurd. At the edge of the building the manure was about twelve inches deep. In the followiug autuuin, when I went to haul out the mauure tor wheat, I louud that immediately outside of the edge of the building, where exposed to the weather, it had rotted and sunk till it was only six inches deep, whilst that immediately under the shelter was still about a foot deep. I took a cart and oxen and drew the manure which was on the outside of the. building, and put it on a strip across the field intended for wheat, then drew out the lame quantity in bulk from under the build-i ing, and put it in like manner on an adjoining ^trip of same size and quality.- . All was sowed with wheat of the same kind and at thfe same time. The osrop from those two lands was not measured, but every ouo who examined the crop before cutting decided there was<about twice the quantity on tbe land maunred by tbe covered mauure.? Exchange.. ^ Banannas.?Few people who seo ban annas banging in the shops of fruit dealers think of them as more than a tropical luxury. The fact is, they are a staple article of food in some parte of the world ; and, according to Humboldt, an acre of banannas will produce as much food for a man as twenty-five acres of wheat. It is the ease with which banannas aro grown that is the great obstacle to civilization in some tropical countries. It is so easy to obtain a living witboak work that no effort will ever be made, and- the men become lazy and shiftless. All that is needed is to stick a sucker into tho ground, and it will at once sprout and grow, and ripen its fruit in twelve or thirteen months without furthor care, each plant having from seventy-five to one hundred and twenty-five bananas; and when that dies down after fruiting, new suckers spring up to take its plac?. In regions wtferfr no foot ever reaches, banannas arc found in all stages of growth, ripening their fruit every day and every month in the The mule is a disappointing animal. Ono fell down a shaft in Maryland eighty-five feet deep. Every one saiJ : "That mule's dead," but it was hoisted up uninjured and wnlkcd away, and just as every one said J7jyyi>jd . i ?T THE MVBDEB OF XR8. SURBATT. Gen. II. W. Slocuui, ono of the most distinguished brigade, division, corps, and A grand division commanders of the war, re>* e< contly delivered a lecture in Brooklyn on tc events of tho great' struggle, during the b; course of wbioli be expressed the opinion, pi always held by the Union, that Mrs Sur* b; rutt was a murdered woman. lie said : tl I am going to speak to you oue word si about the execution of Mrs. Surratt at tbo Ij close of the war, for I think somo good tc lessons can be learned from the story of her fr trial and death. I believe any people sit* h: uated as wo were ought to be cautioned tc against placing implicit cou&dcnco in cvi- tc deuce givcu at a time of high excitement. I h could staud hero to-night and relate to you a< fifty incidents that would serve to caution ni everybody against taking cvideuce against li others when the pooplo were all in a state ct of intenso excitement. There never wus p a day, there never was an hour, that I did S not bolievc Mrs. Surratt was as inuocent a ol woman as there is in this hall. [Applause] Ii Sho was the keeper of a boarding house iu tl ivobiuugtou. one boarded Wilkes Booth la and a half dozen other rebel sympathizers, aj and she had a son, John II. Surratt.? ii Wilkes Booth was guilty of shooting Mr. tl Lincoln, mid this poor woman was brought n to trial in connection with Wilkes Booth, ti and through the excitement of the times e1 her neck was brought to the halter. Her ci daughter, a young girl eighteen or uincteon It years ol age, on the uioruiug of the cxccu- n; tion went to the President's room and begged tt pcFuiis&iou to say a few words to him on oi behalf of her mother, and a United States tl Senator from our own State, who acted as si door tender, repulsed her, saying, "No ; no, o you cannot, go in." Worse thau that, a: uicaucr than that, the poor girl three or n four years.afterward married a clerk in the ii Treasury Department. No charges wire ci made agaiust him, but because this clerk u had married the daughter of Mrs. Surratt si he wus discharged. Let us brag of our ui achievements, hut at the same time let us learu to look our faults and errors squarely u in the face and ackonwledgc them when we at have causo to." ai The murder of Mrs. Surratt was the most m cruel and cowardly act ever committed in T any civilized country. It is a curious and h suggestive fact that all who were chiefly tl responsible for the execution of that inuo- t< cent woman have felt the unseen hand of c the Great Avenger. Stanton, Secretary w of War, who was, perhaps, the worst of the ai number, committed suicide in a lit of vv remorse, although the fact was sought to n be concealed. Preston King, the Senator a from New York, who repulsed Antiie Sur- I ratt from the President's door, in like manner ended his own lifb by deliberately jumping from a ferryboat in tho North river at ^ New York aud drowning himself. Andrew a Johnson, who signed the death warrant l< and despotically suspended the writ of n habeas corpus that had been granted W^ho e court, was strickcu suddenly with aeath d upon his return to the Senato after ho had d lett the Presidency. Jndgc Advocate Holt, P who couducUid the prosecution, lung ago disappeared from public view, and whether '( dead or alive nobody knows and nobody cares. Aud John A. Piughntn, who ns- h 8isted Holt, was driveu from Congress in *' disgrace as one of the credit tnobilior bribe ' ! takers, and sought refuge in Japan, where, v we believe, be now is.?Rochester Union. ft ? tf Satisfying IIis Patiknt.?Common ai sense generally recommends physicians as 'l well as other men to popular favor, but c< there a?o exceptions wlierj something uucommon is better received. The xfoosiers 11 listened to a speech of General Jackson, 1,1 but would hardly be satisfied that he was a n great man till lie shouted a string of Latin P phrases, uli plurihns unuin''. "Multum in ai parvo," " JSine jwa non I" aud then they rent the air with wild hurras for him. A if nice invalid was even harder'to satisfy thau 1' the Iloosiers. The first physician in his d case was discharged because he was honest h cuough to tell him that he had asore throatj a and the second doctor, having some hint 'i of the fact, auswercd the nick man, when * questioned, that his cuso was highly abuor- 1 mal, and had degenerated iuto synanche d tonsilaris. 11 "Oh, doctor," cried the patient, "do say h that word again !" . j 0 "Why, sir, I said you were at present T laboring under synauc/te iomihiru." 1 "Why, just think, doctor, that fool told b me I had noting but a sore throat, and I ? told hiui I had no use for such a duuoa.-? c Doctor, what did you call it 1" ^ "I told you, sir in plain terms, that the morbid couditiou of your system was obvi- c ous, and that it has terminated in tynanclie 8 tonsilaris." c "Oh, doctor, it must be a monstrous bad u complaint'! Think you can cure %c doe- K tor f" ? "Now, though your diagnosis is clear, c your prognosis is doubtful; yet I think, by b prudent care and skillful treatment,you may 0 recover." "Oh, well, doctor, do stay all night, and h I will pay you anything you ask." ?: He got well of his soro throit, and paid j' the doctor a generous fee.?Potter's Month- " - Well, my eighty-six years have taught ma * this, that duty must bo the rule, and affec- 4 tion the sweetener, of our lives.

I ai ?Karristoven Jlcratif. ol V "J ' ' All EXPERT'S VIEW. In press and pulpit, the killing of Col. .UtoD is still a matter of discussion. The litor of the New Orleans Democrat adds L the number of intelligent commentators f presenting to his readers and to tho peolo of tho State & few* reflections suggested y this tragedy, aud by tho etartliug ovents mt have occurred iu the Crescent City nco tho 22d of February. After cnrcful' and fairly detailing the iucidcnts leading i the tragedy, up to the point of Alstou's iends advising that ho arm himself against is porsifetcnt assailant, our Louisiana conimpora^aays: "It was a proper coufse ? advisd, but wo suggest that thev should - A aI . I A .1 i i i uvu guuu iuriner?inai lucy snouiu nave ivisod tho arrjst of the person who had indc the murderous threats againRt tho to and person of Col. Alston. If that lurse had been pursued Col. Alston in all robability would bo ulive to day and the tatc of Georgia would not mourn tho loss r oue of her bravest and most gallaut sons, ti England or in France, wben a man ireatens the lifo of another, and particurly with a weapon drawn aud directed ;aiust the person of his victim, his arrest nmediatcly follows, and he is deprived by 10 strong arm of tho law of any opportuity to put his threats into execution. Iu lose countries it is not considered to bo an ridcuce of a want of pursoual courage to inse'the arrest of one who theatens your fo, nor is it in fact. In a civilized couiluuity one cannot hie always armed to preset himself. The laws should be capable f protecting him and he should appeal to icm for protection. A jury should condor a charge of an assault with a daugorus weapon with iutcut to commit murder i a charge almost as grave as a charge of lurdcr, aud should feel as little hesilatiou 1 rendering a verdict of guilty iu the oue iso as iu the other. When public scntilcnt has reached this point there will be imc other protection to life thuu the pistol, ad homicides will be less frcquout." There is much truth in this, and the failre to arrest Cox when lie sallied forth bout town breathing threats of murder nd being aruied for its accomplishment, is tic of the strange features ot the ease.? ho authorities of Atlanta would hardly avc lot a lion or tiger remain loose upon icir streets, aud yet they permitted a uian, jmporarily much more dangerous than ither lion or tiger, to have full swing. It ould have been a blessiug for Cox as well s Alston had some courageous man acted 'ith becoming promptness. Hut there was o such man apparently upon the scene of ction, aud so the bloody deed was done.? linjusta Chronicle. ??? ? "CUSTAKD FlSll"or "FlStl CUSTAltD."? fames oft on go a great ways in deciding likes nd dislikes. A Frenchman invited a friend j partako with him a "fricasseo of boned obbins' logs." The friend pronounced it xquisitc, and determined to introduce so elightful a dish at homo. Imngiuc his isgust, his upheaval of?feeling, on hnpcuiug to gather from a remark of a servant ant he had just eaten a fricassee of frogs' >gs. Recently, when breakfasting at u boarding school," the young ladies were elped to a dish called "custard fish" or. fish custard," aud they seemed to like it hough a nice steak was offered us as a isitor, our curiosity prompted a request >r some of the "custard fish." The first isto showed that it was our favorite prepration of salt codfish. Thero is in nuny iuiilies a decided repugnance to the use of nlfish ; it is considered plebeian, as only t for those too poor to have anything bct:r. Yet it is one of the most wholesome, ourishing foods, is economical, and if ghtly prepared, is very palatable. It suplies excellent nutriment both for tho brain nd muscles. An eminent literary friend f ours used to say that, as his wife prepared , he wanted it "eight mornings in a wcok." roui the hurried manner of curing and rying codfish duriug largo catches, it ofteu appeus that they are not uuiformly salted nd cured throughout. Tho smallest poriou neglected may injure the tasto of the rhole fish nnd of others packed with it.-r'his hns had much to do with creating a islikc for this food. In purchasing codfish, 1. is well to exauiiuc them carefully, and se>ct ouly those of uniform color throughut, ami having patuinted odor at any point. ,'hoso of medium sizo are preferable? he smaller ones being too' skiupy, nnd he larger ones too coarao grained. There mow to bo generally obtained what is alied "bouc-less codfish," at a slightly ijgher price, yet cheap as compared with last or most other fish. From those well irred, the vertebra and chief bones, the kin and fins, aro removed, and only the loaf white poif^ns are put up in boxes?a ice articlo rea-'y for immcdiato use. A rent point in preparing codfish is to have ; well soaked to remove all excess of salt, lear through. Two or three waters should e used, it is best to pick it finely, pour ff ono water, and let it stand in plenty of resh water over night, or several hours. If )0 fresh, which is seldom the case, salt is asily added. This thorough soaking after , is picked flue, makes a marked difference l its flavor. For "Custard Fish," boil the soaked Gsh I water until Jwnder ; thcu pour off" the Wtwr and pick it very fine ; bavo ready a uart of hot milk for three-quarters of a onnd of fish, and put into it the fish, and tablespoonful of butter; stir until it boils ; len stir in well a heaping tabhespoouful of our, and cook it fivo minutes. Lot it cool little, and then stir into it two well beaten ?gs without further cooking, tfoa Nice Fish Balix, soak the fish in arm but not boiling water for an hour, Eld rspaofc this twice ; boiling toughens it. our off file last water so as to leave it early drv, and chop it fine in a chopping owl. Mash the boiled potatoes separately, ad mix about one part of fish with two parts f potato, putting in about a tablespoonful of butter to quartof the mixture,and adding sal if needed. Make into balls or cakes. This can be done the night before. Fry in Ian or drippinga, using only enough to kec] them from sticking to the pan. Some pre fcr them fried swimming in Jard, but the^ are less digestible. It the balls nro firs dipped .in beatn egg, they will take u] little of the cooking fnt, and are very good When well uiado thus, they arc palatable easily digested, and nutritious as well a economical.?American Agriculturist. IIow to Mark Hens Lay.?A corres pondont informs us that whilo on a visit ii the fall to a friend, lie was surprised to se< the number of eggs he daily obtained. H had but sixteen hens and the product pc dietn averaged thirteen eggs. lie hadbcci in the habit of giving ou every alternat day a teaspoonfuI nnd a quarter of cnycnin pepper, mixed with soft food, and took cor that each hen obtained her share. Th experiment of omitting the pepper wa tried when it was found that the numhc of eggs were reduced each trial from fiv to six daily. Our correspondent Leheve that the moderate uso of this stimulant no oly increases the number of eggs, but effee tually wards off diseases to which chickcu arc subject.? German town Telegraph.

Perhaps you've noticed i ?Fulton Times. Sunflowers planted beside kitchen drain: and in other places where the refuse watc of the kitchen is thrown, are said to be ver beneficial in a hveieuic noint of view. 1 is asserted that theso humble plants ni greater absorbers of malaria and purifyci of the atmosphere than the far fetchc Eucalyptus globulus. Sunflowers yield pr< lilie quantities of seed which make first-cla: poultry food. ? Boiled IIams.?Boiled hams, says A\ thur's, are nicer for standing in the wau ih which they were boiled, until cold.
