We are ^ratilied at the prompt man ner in which a lai-Re majority of our auhftcriber* have met tlieir dues, but atili there are a large nuiu tier who have not yet settled their subscription for the past yea''. This is all wrong, every one can afford a county pafier, and no one who has a prope* regard for his business interests, as ■well as the comfort and convenience of his family can afford U> do without his local paper. Some however seem to think that newspai>er men are only subjects of public convenience, who can live on air and have no use for money. This we need hardly say is a serious error. No business is as exacting in its requirements whether physical or pecuniary. Our bills have to be met weekly with the actual cash and with the regularity of clock work and yet some there are who never give a passing thought to their ncwspajier dues. We’ have been extremely Indul gent in the past because it has been our desire to build up a newspaper reading co.liiflunity. Rut we have done enough and shall do no more, and before very long we shall strike from our list those obstiiiaie cases who seem to entirely ignore their obligations. Far better for us to loose Jmt the^^^tfl^e outer •they ‘ »re _ the Recorder to come' iTp”a*id stTttle in a reasonable, time or they will be stricken from our* lists. If they eau afford to do without , us we surely can afford to do without them. Everybody has or ought to j have money at this season therefore | there is no excuse. Or. Timmerman's House Destroyed by Fire. It is with profound regret that we learn that the residence of that esti mable citizen, Dr. W. H. Timmerman, , who lives in Edgefield, live miles south of Johnson’s, just across the Aiken line, was entirely destroyed by Are on Friday night last. The tire i''aught in the stove room, and tin* house was nearly consumed before the lire was discovered* The family were all asleep, and awoke barely in time to r-ave the lives of the youngest chil dren. The house was valued ai $2,000 and was insured for $1,000. It was raining in torrents at the time, and the family had to take refuge in the gin house, which was not far off'.

Main Street, Aiken, S. C. THE v given or than the horn. The bottle is more manageable, and one is less tempted to use it to pry open the jaws, and perhaps thus lacerate the tongue also. Elevate the head only enough to prevent the liquid running from the mouth. The bottle should not be pushed back far into the throat. The tongue should he left free. The following is a very neat and efficacious method: If standing, place the left side of the animal against a wall, and standing on the right side seize hold of the upper jaw by passing the left arm over the head, and bending the latter far round to the right, slightly elevating it. With the right hand, pour the contents of the bottle into the mouth at its angle, using the least possible force. Medicinal substances can be readily given to the cat, after properly secur ing the animal. An efficient method is as follows: Grasp the hind legs above the hocks, between the little and ring fingers of each hand, the fore extremities above the elbow, between the other two lingers, and place the thumbs against the posterior-lateral parts of the head at the base of the ears. Being thus firmly held, the medicine, either solid or liquid, may he given from a common spoon. Fiiriti nntl Gnrdfn No'es. In turning umler sod or green ma terial a sprinkling of lime will be very beneficial. It is claimed that the Swede or ruta baga is less affected by the worm than are the rough-leafed varieties of tur nips. For bedding, leaves should be gath ered in dry weather and stored where they ean be kept dry. For compost ing, wet leaves are all right. Some of the best catches of clover are made from fall seeding. It then needs no shading, and usually ge ;s suf ficient rain to give it a good start. Do not depend upon fertilizers alone for good crops of small grain, but let the hart-ow do' its perfect work. Cul tivation has much to do with the suc cess of a wheat field. Sows may farrow at any time if the quarters are warm and comfortable, but if the pigs are not properly cared for they will be checked in growth if the weather is cold. A good test for roots is to weigh them in water, as the weight in water will give the amount in solid matter. Sometimes the large mangolds will float, which shows them to be deficient in nourishment, while the small ones invariably sink. Ashes should never be thrown upon manure heaps nor mixed with any kind of manure, as the caustic potash liber ates the ammonia, which is very difli- eult to save. Therefore, spread ashes immediately upon the land, whether grass or cultivated. Horses slobber from eating clover. An exchange says: This is annoying, especially in the driving horse, but the remedy is very simple and easy at hand, consisting of a head of cabbage fed to the horse just before using him for work or driving. It is cheap and effective. Rations composed entirely of timothy hay, though not so good for horses as those mixed with clover, yet are pre ferred by horsemen, and clear timothy commands the highest price. There fore, if hay is to be sold, timothy alone should be sown; but if wanted for home use a mixture of clover is no detriment. The practice of pasturing sheep or pork, chopped thyme and parsley,grated lemon-peel, pepper, salt and the juice of a lemon. Bind the fillet into shape with tapes; cover the top with a paste of liour and water, and bake twelve minutes to the pound; putting a cup of boiling water into the pan. When done, pull off tho paste, dredge with flour and baste well with butter. The meat should have been very freely basted while cooking. Dish the meat when browned; season and thicken the gravy; boil up and pour into a boat. Caxnelon of Potatoes.—Mash the potatoes thoroughly; beat light with butter, milk and two raw eggs. Heat in a greased frying '-r orderlies, r "of stirring con- fSlVUOV*, “."“S P all » slantly, until stiff enough to handle. Make into a long roll; brush over with beaten eggs and sift crumbs over it. Lay in a buttered baking-pan and brown nicely in a quick oven. Dish, and pour over it a cup of good drawn butter. French Beans a la Creme.—Open a can of string beans ; clip them into short pieces, and cook twenty minutes in hot salted water. Drain. Have ready in a saucepan two tablespoon fuls of cream and a> much butter, heated together ; pour upon a beaten egg ; return to the saucepan ; season with pepper and salt; stir in a table spoonful of hot vinegar ; take from tiie tire ; dish the beans and pour the sauce over them. Tomato Sauce.—Stew the contents of a can of tomatoes twenty minutes. Strain and pulp through a colander. Add butter, rolled in flour, a little sugar, salt and pepper; cook ten min utes and pour out. X ea I'olit ai noes.—Make enough puff-paste for a pie; roll out into a sheet half an inch thick and cut into strips three inches long and half its wide. Bake in a (plick oven. When cold, spread half of them with sweet jam or jelly and stick the others over them in pairs—the jelly being, of course, in the middle.

This turned out to be a wolf-child. Letting the other two go unmolested, the three men proceeded to hunt down the human cub, and succeeded in bringing it to bay. As they wished to take tho creature alive, and were altogether un willing to hurt it in any way, they found the greatest difficulty in attempting to secure it; for it fought, bit and clawed with ex treme fierceness and pertinacity; in deed, having driven it into a corner, Mr. II— and one-of tho sowars had to mount guard, while the other native proceeded to the nearest village and got a stout blanket for the purpose of throwing it over its head; and it was by this means that the capture was at length effected. All the way home the wolf-child behaved like a mad thing, screaming and howling, now piteously, now in a paroxysm of im potent rage. It was, however, taken to Mr. II—Y. hdUse; but it would not be comforted, and for a long time re fused all kinds of food, including raw meat. The, creature was a boy of about nine years of age; and it may be here stated that no female wolf- child has ever been heard of or seen. It is not easy to assign a sufficient reason for tho fact that females have never been so discovered, unless we suppose that, being less vigorously constituted, they have been unable to withstand the terrible hardships of such an existence, and have very soon sickened and died.—Clvunhers' Join )ial. A Giant Bird. In the neighborhood of Rlieims, recently, M. Do Lemoinne found suf ficient remains of a remarkable bird (of new species), belonging to the eocene epoch, to give a fair idea of its structure. A thigh bone of the same animal had before been discovered by M. Plante, the well-known physicist, at Meudon ; it was about eighteen UK lies long. The bird was of gigantic size, having a height, alien erect, of at least ten feet. The skull was com paratively large, and less dispropor tionate than that of the ostrich. In the opinion of M. Alph. Milne-Edwards, judging by the skeleton, the bird had affinities to the duck, but it has peculi arities which forbid the ranking of it in any of the present natural groups. Sunshine and Shadow. K @ l ) This man reads our paper. That’s why he is happy. Useful Tiees. Says die San Francisco Bulletin: The M >ringa, or horse-radish tree, has been introduced into Florida, From the seeds of this tree the “(Ml of Benn” (or jeweler’s oil) is made, and it will undoubtedly thrive in this State. The Guango, or rain tree of the East Indies, is a very large and ornamental tree, producing pods that form nutritious food for cattle and horses. Beside these two interesting and useful trees there are a large number of tropical plants which are certain to succeed in some parts of California. Native* of the East Indies arc the Gareina fruit, or Goraka; the .Egle-marmelos. or libel fruit; the Jimbolin fruit: the Avcrhoas, two varieties, both choice fruit. There are numbers of others from tropical India that would only thrive in green houses. From the West Indies, Mexico and South America, arc. the Jamaica Bilberry; the Sapota, of which a num ber of varieties are known; several kinds of edible Passitloras; the Spondis Duleis, or Jew plum, and the Spondis Lutea, or Spanish plum: the Grias, or anchovy pear; the Cordia, or West In dies cherry; the Preskia, or Barbadoes gooseberry; the Solanum Jamaiceuse, and the Momordiea Charactea, related to the ornamental balsam apple of East ern gardens. West Africa lias the So lanum Sapida. or tree tomato; Austra lia the Maeadamia, or Queensland nut, a magnificent forest gree of great value for timber, and equally useful for its tine fruit. the 'stalk was placed over the door, the first name of the person entering was the fated name. The island of Lewes, on the coast of Scotland, luul some curious customs. Young women made a “dumb cake” and baked it before the fire with cer tain ceremonies and in perfect silence, expecting to see wonders; and the peo ple also sacrificed to a sea-god called Shong, throwing a cup of ale into the sea, and calling on him to give them plenty of sea-weed to enrich their grounds. In another Scotch trial a girl would go into a barn, holding a winnowing sieve and stand alone, with both doors open, to see her fate. The fashion of trying charms is now nearly outgrown among English-speak ing people. It survives in America as a pleasant frolic for a social gathering. In our own day young people “sow, hempseed,” “eat apples before tlr glass,” “go down the cellar stairs bac ward,” holding a candle and a mirro They also “pop chestnuts,” “ launc walnut shells” holding tapers, and try the “three saucer” test of the future. In some of our cities the boys on Halloween collect'old tea-kettles, boots, large stones, etc., and deposit them in clean vestibules, ringing the door bell and running away. Arabi anil Toulba Pasha. As seen in his prison. Arabi Pasha is a man of singularly courteous man ners; tall, burly, not uncomely, with a tendency to baldness and snowiness about the beard. lie should be a man of fifty-live, but Orientals are inscru table in the matter of age, some of them looking 100, while in reality they have but just turned thirty. He is a fellah of the fellaheen. The shape of his eyes and cast of his countenance shows this. He has the ignorance of the fellah, his boundless trust and grotesquely selfish belief that Allah’s time is occupied with specially watch ing him above all other creatures. Previous to the recent Egyptian war no one ever heard of Toulba Pasha, the Sancho Panza to Arabi’s Don Quixote, his alter ego and the sharer of his captivity, lie rose from the dregs of society, is short, dark, corpu lent, with twinkling eyes, an impudent leer, and nervous fat hands always on the move, lie willfully deceived his master, who trusted in him, for, in the telegrams which are extant, he prated alwaVs of great victories and promised others. Without Toulba’s lying, plau sible counsel it is unlikely that Arabi would ever have succumbed to his rash ambition. He pinned his faith to Toulba, and Toulba, an adventurer, reckless of consequences, led him floundering into the mire. -SUCCESSORS OF- J. E.
