MKDICINAL VALUE OP PRUITS. The Western Rural advises; its readers to throw physic to the dogs and use more fruit. There is nothing more palatable, wholesome and medicinal than good ripe peaches. It is a mistaken idea that no fruit should be eaten at breakfast. It would be far better if our people would ; eat less baconandgreSse at breakfast, and more fruit. In the morningthere is an acrid state of the secretions, and nothing his so well calculated to correct this aacoof [ ing sub-acid fruits, such as peaches, apples, r etc. The-apple is one of the best of fruits.. Baked or stewed apples will generally agree with the most delicate stomach, and are an excellent medicine in many ca$ea i Green or half-ripe apples stewed and sweetened are pleasant to the taste, cooling, nourishing, laxative, far superior in many cases to the abominable doses of salts and oil usually given in fevenr^and (rthejr^ diaare better aaeSicine than somepilis. Oranges are very acceptable to moat stomachs, having ail the advantages of the acid alluded to, but the orangejuice alone should betaken, rejecting the pdlp; The same may be said of lemons, pomegranates, and all that class. Lemonade is the beet arihk in fevers; and when thickened with sugar it Abetter than syrup of squills and other naoeeants in many cases or cough. Tomatoes act on the liver and bowels, and are much more pleasant and safe than hide mass. The juice should 1be used alone, rejecting the , skins. The small-deeded traits, such as blackberries, figs, raspberries, currants and strawberries, may be darned among the best foods and medicines. The sugar in them is nutritious, the acid is cooling and purifying, and the seeds are laxative. We would be much the gainers if we would look more to our-orchards and gardens for our medicines and less, to the drug stores.

[Florida Dispatch. 19 To kill cockroaches and water bugs, the following may be used: Boil an ounce of poke root in one pint of water until the strength is extracted; mix the decoction with molassses and spread it in plates on the kitchen aad laundry floors and in the closets, or anywhere where the vermin may trouble you. Powdered borax is said to be very effective in driving away cockroaches, but must not be used with the poke-root remedy, as it will prevent the roaches coming near the latter; it will be useful later to prevent the coming oi new relays. To exterminate ants, grease plates with lard and set them where the insects abound, and they will crowd upon the plates to eat it, as they are extravagantly fond of lard; they can be scraped into the firo or into the, slop pall and drowned.

To conclude, it IS useless tp employ many of these recipes if large cracks under the surbases of rooms are neglected; these Sh$il$ al| be stopped up by putty hnd painting, the latter being very deadly to insects. Cracks in flooring should also be looked after, as these furnish a retreat or safe harbor for vermin. t Warbles in Cattle.?-As the spring {advances small lumps or tumors wdl be rfound in the backs of the cattle, and in snch a large white grub will be found. These grabs arfe often called wolves and other local names, but they are really the larvae of a large hot fly or gad-fly, which lay eggs in the skin, which it punctures or stings with its ovipositor. These flies torment the cattle in July or August; besides, the hides are seriously damaged. A day may be well spent in destroying the grubs Jyhich are now nearly ready to emerge rom the holes In the skin through Which they breathe. By carefully squeezing the tumor they may be forced out and killed ; or a few drops of oil squeezed in from a squirt can will kill them. If thiscould be generally done the pests would soon be got. rid of.?[American Agriculturist. A teaspoonfnl of borax, put in the last Water in which clothes are rinsed, will whiten them surprisingly.

'I ' 1 1flE NEGRO IN THE CHURCH. In thn Northern general assembly of the Presbyterian church, in session last week in New York. the question of co-operation with the Southern church was the subject of debate on Friday. ' After the opening of Friday's session almost the first thing done was the reading of a telegram from the stated clerk of the Southern assembly, an^ nouncing that that body had adopted the*1' majority report in favor of co-operation in matters of publication, etc., by a vote of 99 to 27. Thisstatement was received with applause. The Rev. John Knox, a Kentuckian, spoke in opposition to co-operation. He said: "The white people of this country, during the past century, have not observed that Christian equality between the two races - that they should have observed. They should now try to break down this lingering prejudice, and he would, therefore, vote against the majority report, because it advocated Separate churches for white and colored.",, The Rev. Dr. Joseph T. Smith, chairman of the committee that drew up the report, held that separate churches were de-. sired by th6 colored people themselves.. The Rev. Dr. Strieker, of Chicago, said that he would vote for no report that asked ?ne Christian to stand aslae at the comi union table in favor of another. > /He moved to strike out that part of the report Which reads, "While concerning the existing situation it (Northern ;assembly) approves the policy of separate churches, presbyteries and synods, subject to the Choice of the colored people themselves." ! The Rev. Dr. Hamlin, of Washington, moved that the word "practice" be substituted for the word "policy" in this sentence, and that it be allowed to remain in. : The Rev. 6. J. Samuels, of North Carolina. a colored clergyman, said it was neither the practice nor the policy of the Church in the South to organize separate churches,' t)r. Hamlin's substitute was laid qn the table. A vote on Dr. Strieker's amendment was taken and it was carried by aboiR 400>'t6 50. With this exception the paperas a whole was adopted and the paper on co-operation also approved of. The next tfnhg'was'the adoption of the when the question was put.

In paper No. 3, on co-operation in evangelizing colored people, the sixth paragraph of tne statement of preceding session is amended by the omission of the words,,'while by conceding the existing situation it approves the policy of separate churches, presbyteries and synods, subject to the choice of colored people themselves.' 500. BUSHELS OF CORN FROM ONE ACRE. Col. R. R. Hudgins, who resides near ^Manning, has an acre of corn from which he expects to realize five hundred bushels. This Is an enormous yield and we shall Watch with interest the result of the experiment. BeloW !is what the editor of the ^fanning Times has to say about it. "We visited Col. R. R. Hudgins's prize acre of corn last week, and as we know our readers will enjoy a description of it, we Will tell them all about it. i "The acre is in Pore a ton, about three Sundred yards from the depot. The soil high, sandy and porous, and is well drained. The acre has been carefully marked off, and the limits plainly marked by scantling pinned to the ground. A tram road .runs through the field. Col. Hudgins has fitted up a tank and force pump, and if the seasons do not suit hiraj ne can easily fill up his tank, and running it into his field, furnish a shower of rain. "The land was prepared as follows: The acre was covered with stable manure. Upon this was broadcast three barrels, of slaked lime and four hundred pounds of acid. The land was then broken up, commencing on the outside with a turn plow, and following in the same furrow two four-inch shovel plows, turning me soil to a depth of twelve or fifteen inches driving around the outer sides of the acre, and finishing up in the middle. The stable manure, lime and acid, were thus, by means of these three plows, pretty well turned under. On March 28th, 84 bushels of cotton seed, 500 pounds cotton seed meal, and 400 pounds kainit were put on the ground, harrowed in with a disk harrow. The ground was then leveled off with hand rakes. The corn was planted April 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Col. Hudgins did this with great care. The corn is planted in double rows, three feet from centre to centre, and six inches apart, averaging three feet one way and three inches the other. On May 3rd, it was plowed with a garden plow, 1,000 pounds cotton seed meal added, and then hoed over nicely. The stand in a part of the field is all that could be desired, but in another part it is imperfect and had to be replanted. The corn is now about eighteen inches high, and has a beautiful color. The corn is of the Geddings variety, and Col. Hudgins says the following is claimed for it. Each stalk will produce from three to five large ears of corn. From each stalk there will shoot two or three suckers, each of which will produce an ear. Col. Hudgins expects with propitious seasons to get five hundred bushels Trom this acre." t Like to be Humbugged.?The Chinese themselves do not believe in dissection and there is no body snatchiug here. They believe that the heart is the seat of thought, that the soul exists in the liver, and the gall bladder is the seat of courage. For this reason /the 'gall bladders of tigers are eaten by soldiers to inspire them with courage. The Chinese doctor ranks no hiohfir than the ordinary skilled work man. He gets from 15 to~20 cents a visit, and he often takes patients on condition that he will cure them within a certain time or no pay. He never sees his female patients except behind a screen, and^he does not pay a second visit unless invited. His pay is called ''golden thanks," and the orthodox way of sending it to him is wrapped in red paper. The dentists look upon pulled teeth as trophies, and they go about with necklaces of decayed teeth on their necks or strung upon strings or tied to sticks. Toothache Is supposed to come from a worm in the tooth, and there are a set of female doctors who make a business of extracting these worms. When the nerve is exposed they take this out and call It the wohn, and when hot they use a slight-of-hand by which they make their patients believe certain worms, which they show them, came from their teeth. I have heard persons,tell of,,Chinamen who claimed to have had ten worms taken from their mouths in a single day, and I saw a woman actually at work upon a patient in the street here. China is as full of superstition as the West India islands, and the people like to be humbugged quite as well here as we do in America.??F; G. Carpenter's letter from Shanghai. Spasmodic Advertising.?-Speaking of the uselessness of spasmodic and irregular advertising the Clothier and Furnisher, New York, says: "If you want to be healthy you must eat regularly, as meat I to-day will not serve you for to-morrow. I To be well and hearty eat at every meal time. To be prosperous in business advertise regularly. Stop one aud you starve and die. Stop the other and your business takes consumption and dies also. Spasmodic advertising is like having a 'least and famine'?more famine than feast as a general rule?and is never satisfactory. To take out your card in dull times is like killing your horse because he is a little lame. In dull times advertising is the most effective, as more notice is taken of printer's ink then than any other time. Labor Politics in Alabama.?A political scheme having for its object the control of the next State legislature has been started in Alabama, with fair prospects of success. It is nothing less than a fusion of the Farmers' Alliance, the Knights of Labor and all other secret labor organizations. The plan is for the Knights of Labor to nominate candidates for the legislature in every county in the State next year, and every member of all labor organizations will support these candidates. If the plan is successfully carried out it is asserted that the labor candidates can be'elected in at least forty counties in the State, which will give them a good working majority in both branches of the legislature. The Knights of Labor appealed to the last legislature for the enactment of certain Taws in the interest of the workingmen tod organized labor. These bills all failed to pass, some of them being vigorously opposed by capitalists and corporations. One bill, the passage of which was especially urged by labor organizations, was to prohibit the payment of laborers in store checks. It was vigorously fought and defeated by capitalists. The movement to control the next legislature in the interest of organized labor is being quietly pushed, and the Farmers' Alliance and Knights of Labor have already agreed upon it. The membership of the Alliance is now about 14,000 in the State and there are upwards of 100,000 Knights of Labor.? [Providence(R. I.) Journal. International ARBiTBATioN.-While the navies of the world are being strengthened and the rifles of private soldiers constantly improved, there is a quiet organization steadily growing in numbers in Europe and America. This is the International Arbitration league. Its head?uarters In Ameriea are in Washington, ts organ, The National Voice, is published in that city.- . The object of the organization is to substitute peaceful arbitration for war in the settlement of international difficulties. The members of the society include many distinguished men ana women. They look confidently forward to the time when all misunderstandings between nations will be settled by peaceful conference.

SouT.g Dakota's Constitution.?The constitution of South Dakota that was adopted at the Sioux Falls convention is in many respects remarkable. Women are given school suffrage, and it is provided that an amendment shall be submitted to thb people giving women foil suffrage. Corporations are prevented from being created by the legislature by special legislation, and the abridgement or thejegislature's right of eminent domain and of the State's police power is specially forbidden. The State debt must not exceed $500,000, except in case of war, and county, city and town indebtedness is limited to 5 per cent, of the taxable property. The Governor is given the right to veto items in appropriation bills, and the legislature cannot authorize the construction of street railroads except with the consent of the cities and towns in which they are constructed. Strength of Walls.?It is found that walls laid up of good, hard bricks, in mortar composed of good lime and sharp sand, will resist a pressure of 1,500 pounds per square inch, or 216,000 pounds per square foot, at which figure it would require 1,600 feet height of twelve inch wall to crush the bottom courses, allowing 135 pounds as the weight of each cubic foot. It also appears from accurate calculations and measurements that walls laid up in the same quality of brick and mortar, withone-third quantity of Portland cemenJ; added to same, are capable of resisting some 2,500 pounds per square inch or 860,000 pounds per square foot; this would require a height of wall 2,700 feet to crush tne bottom bricks.?[Builder and Woodworker.

The Canada thistle is said to be the most useful of all for this purpose. The new invention will be of great help to farmers. For binding their grain they now use manila hemp twine, which the twine trust has suddenly put up in prices from nine cents to twenty-five cents a pound. Its/fiber is imported from the Philippine islands. The new binding twine will be a home product altogether, will use up thistles and weeds and will cost only twelve cents a pound. .', , New Orleans is exercised over rather a strange problem. White men there die in much greater numbers than white women. During March more than twice as many men as women died. The death rate of the men was 28.3 to the thousand; that of the women, 13.5. One week the ratio was four to one. New Orleans has now a population of- 20,000 more women than men. If the curious disproportion in the death rate continues New Orleans will in time be a city of women. The death rate of males is not unusally large, but that of females is unusally small. The TimesDemocrat says the fact seems to indicate that New Orleans is the elysium of women, peculiarly adapted to them. The Way 'Tis Done in Ohio.?A newspaper in Ohio recently brought suit against forty-three men who would not pay their subscriptions, and obtained judgment in each case for the amount of each claim. Of these twenty-eight made affidavit that they owned no more than the law allowed, thus preventing attachment. Then under the decision of the supreme 'court, they were arrested for petit laceny and bound over in the sum of $300each. All but six gave bond while six went to jail. The new postal law makes it larceny to take a paper and refuse to pay for it.?[Toledo Blade. A Fortune in a Beggar's Shanty. Felice Viart, aged seventy-two, a professional beggar, died in New Orleans a few flavs aco of debilitv and neerlect in an old shanty. She had lived there over twenty years in abject poverty, supporting herself by begging, which she followed as a regular profession.. The coroner discovered hidden around her shanty $38,000, of which $2,500 was in gold secreted in an old flower pot in the yard and $36,000 in gold, bonds, stocks and securities, concealed in the walls. The woman was believed to be in destitute circumstances.?[Washington Star. Pffil Win6 POWDER Absolutely Pure Thli powder never vaHei. A marvel or purity, atrength and wholeaomenesa.

Unlike t the old time GIG OR SULKY, it is no more i liable to upset on a rough road tbau a buggy, ( and possesses many advantages over the buggy. 1 So rapid|bas been its growth in public favor, \ that manufacturers claim that they are unable to supply the constantly increasing demand. ] Hundreds of thousands are now in use in the 1 United States. Their great popularity may be accounted for in two ways. First, their moder- , ate cost, lightness, durability and convenience; ^ and second, that persons who have been accus- J tomed to ride borse-baok, realize that it is more j pleasant to ride in a comfortable Cart than on a f rough horse, and that it is not so fatiguing to j either the horse or the traveler. The Road Cart is used by the Preacher, the f Farmer, the Merchant, the Physician, the { Lawyer, the Mechanic, and in fact all classes of men. j Road Carts are Worth from $15 to $175. t The proprietor of The Enquires, realizing 1 the fact that the Road Cart is fast growing in 1 public favor in this section, and also realizing 1 the fact that the people of York and surround* ] ing counties always appreciate a good thing, ( has succeeded in making arrangements with one of the most reliable lpanufacturers in the Uoited States to furuish him with ^ } Road Carte as Premiums to Clib-Makers. i The Cart we offer to club-makers, is, perhaps, the best that has ever boeh offered in this sec" GARRY IRON RO( Manufacturers of all kinds of HOI ROOFING CRISPED AID C0RKE8ATSD 810156, Iron Tile or Shingle, dfl nil raOOf DOORS, 8HETTER8 *C?
