Report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction.

The report #f the Superintendent of Public Instruction is made public, and it shows that during the year there have been added to the permanent school fund $78,000. The fund now amounts to considerably over $8,000,000. The aggregate enrollment of scholars shows an increase of 14,000. The Superintendent makes a strong argument for a Compulsory Education law, and also indorses in emphatic terms the County Superintendency system. The report is voluminous, embracing reports from every County Superintendent in the State. It also has an eulogy upon the late Milton B. Hopkins, the immediate predecessor of the present incumbent, who died during the summer at his home at Kokomo.

The Adjutant-General's Report.

The Adjutant-General of the State has submitted his annual report. He reports a total of 1,539 Springfield, Enfield and Spencer rifles on hand Jan. 1 of last year, and 180 returned during the year, making the present total 1,619, sixty having been given to the State Guards, of Indianapolis, and forty to the Noblesville Guards. He calls for a more improved fire-arm for the Indiana military, and recommends that the sum now due from Congress—s29,4o6.7B—be used inputting the citizen soldiery on a good footing. The militia of the State is entirely organized, yet there is not a single company in the State upon whom the Governor could authoritatively call for assistance in an emergency. He recommends the passage of a proper military law. The cost during the year to the State of the Clay County troubles was $36; Clarke County, $167.80; Cass County, $1,687.15; Wayne County, $3; Porter County, $1,255; total, $2,668.45. The expense incurred in Clay County was from the miners’ strike, and the Porter County trouble was the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad war.

A Bargain in Naples.

Have you ever made a bargain in Naples? I have been eying light cashmere suits for three days past, and this morning made a purchase, the nature of which I shall never cease to marvel at. An Italian friend having volunteered to assist at the ceremony, we entered a gentleman’s furnishing establishment, the proprietor of which greeted us with fraternal warmth. What would I have? Only command him and I would be served with the utmost expedition. I wanted a light suit, such as a fellow might wear through a hot month and then throw out the window. Ah, yes! he had the very article; and with that he rolled the clerk off from the counter, where he was sound asleep, and pulled down an avalanche of ready-made garments. They were not stylish, but they would do. I selected what seemed the least objectionable of the lot, and ap proached that delicate subject, the price thereof. Beppo beamed upon me; I don’t know what his name was, but it might easily have been Beppo. Beppo said: “ Only seventy francs for that complete and lovely outfit.” It struck me that the price was reasonable, and I was about to settle the bill when my friend plucked me by the coat-sleeve with an expression of horror, and exclaimed: “You must never pay the price asked you; make him an offer!” I wondered if he would feel insulted were I to suggest -sixty-five francs as a fair bargain. Again my friend saved me from a disgraceful sacrifice. “Offer the fellow thirty,” said he. I offered thirty francs and expected to be -stabbed on the spot. But no; Beppo thought it a cruel thing for so excellent a gentleman as myself to thus rob him of “the finest suit of clothes in Naples at that figure.” He would take fifty francs and nothing less, at which announcement he did the clothes up in a parcel. “Make it thirty-two francs and Stick there!” This was the last utterance of the monitor at my elbow, and when I obeyed orders with the calm deliberation of one who proposes to fight it out on that line poor Beppo burst into tears and plead his cause. This was too much for a man with a large family and no mean stomach; he might, owing to the fact that he had secretly admired me ever since my arrival in Naples, make it forty francs; but friendship, unselfish and undying friendship, alone prompted the generous act! With that announcement my friend took me by the shoulder and walked me out of the establish-

ment. We didn’t go far; we tarried about the threshold for a moment, and I was once more seized and walked back again, while Beppo embraced me tenderly and cried with much emotion: “ Take them for thirty-five francs—take them; I am a ruined man, but I would not have you go out into the world naked and forlorn for the sake of a few sous!” Feeling by this time that I was quite a brute I resolved to brass it out, and, therefore, put down my thirty-two francs, which Beppo received without a murmur. A tragedy in five acts could not have so worked upon my feelings as did the picture of Beppo weeping in the midst of a numerous and starving family, and this picture haunted me as I left that unhappy spot. A moment later Beppo was at my side begging that I would allow him the price of a glass of wine—only six sous! It was conscience money and was freely given; bnt as I turned the comer at hand Beppo was still watching me, and I saw then that there was a twinkle in his eye that seemed to say, “After all this shopping I have the best of you, my boy.” Of course the cloth is pasted together and the buttons put on with starch; but time is fleeting and perhaps I shall rise into cooler latitudes in season to save myself.— Charle* Warren, Stoddard, in, Soft francitco #e.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Johnny Cake. —Take a pint each of buttermilk and sweet milk, one heaping teaspoonfnl of saleratns, a half cup of sugar, one egg and a little salt. Stir in meal until thick, but allow it to pour readily. Butter your pans plentifully and bake brown. This with a dish of warm apple sauce makes a delicious breakfast. Sliced Mutton or Bebf, on Blazer. —Slices of cold mutton or beef, currant jelly, butter, salt, pepper. Drop a piece of butter into the blazer. When the butter is melted, stir in some currant jelly, pepper and salt. Then lay in the cold meat. After it has cooked a moment on one side turn it, and cover the blazer for a few moments. Graham Pancakes.— lnto three pints of water stir about a quart of Graham flour, put a half teaspoonful of salt and three spoonfuls of hop yeast. Set in a warm place over night. In the morning add a small teaspoon of saleratus and bake on a griddle. Better than buckwheat.

To Cure Warts.— Bind on freshly powdered blood-root, moistened with vinegar; change frequently. Will sometimes cure in two days. I think I have heard of spirits of ammonia being used for the same purpose—the warts to he wet with it twice a day for three weeks, if they had not all disappeared before that time. — Cor. Rural New Yorker. Pimples on the face usually indicate some defect of nutrition or some error in food. Many persons on the adoption of a wise and reasonable diet become for the first time free from pimples on the face; therefore, instead of doctoring them with medicines, you should look well to your habits of life, improve your digestion, wisely regulate your diet and keep the skin active by proper bathing and much life out of doors. Egg Blanc Mange. —Take two-thirds of a box of gelatine, one quart and one gill of milk, one cup of sugar, six eggs, salt, vanilla. Put the gelatine into a quart of milk. Set it on the back of the stove to dissolve the gelatine; then add the sugar. While the milk is heating heat the yolks of the eggs until they are very light; then add the gill of milk to them, and when the milk is scalding hot put them in. Stir constantly one way until it is done, which will be in a few moments. If it remains on the fire too long it will curdle. About two minutes will be sufficient to scald it. Take from the fire; continue to stir it gently until it is quite cool; then raise a mold, and strain the mixture into it. Put it on ice. To be eaten with cream.

Keep Cattle in the Barnyard.

We read and hear a great deal about the importance of manure on the farm and of the immense outlay which the purchase of commercial fertilizers involves. And if we did not know the habits of farmers in this respect we should suppose they would use all available means to manufacture and also to save manure on their farms. But while we are glad to note an increasing interest in this direction, we are sorry that so many men neglect some of the easiest and simplest means for attaining this result. At this season of the year we see a great many cattle roaming around the fields, scattering and, in a great measure, wasting their manure. Ia allowing this their owners are certainly guilty of neglecting a very important item in farm management. They may claim, as some do, that the manure is not wasted; that the cattle distribute it over the fields where they feed, and thus the labor of men in spreading it is not required. In this they claim to get the work done without any expense. But such an idea cannot be held by men who give much thought to their farm work. For it can be seen at a glance that, although the manure is spread over the fields, it is done in a most wasteful manner. It is not left where it is wanted. There is a little scattered almost everywhere on the farm, but there is not enough in any place to do much good, and what little there is left in a place is not m any condition to be used as food for plants. Before it can be made available for this purpose it must be pulverized; and to go all over the farm with a hoe and break it in pieces, as ought to be done every spring, if cattle are left in the fields the preceding autumn, makes considerable work. The manure will not be worth more than half as much as it would if kept at the barn during the winter, and applied in the spring. Besides, if cattle are kept in barns, sheds or yards, the manure can all be saved, carted out and put where it is needed. It is also very much better for the cows to be kept in yards than it is to be running all over the fields. They will get better water and get it when they need it, if the farmer pays any decent attention to his business. When they run at large they will not always get water when they ought to have it; if it is some distance from the barn they will not go to it more than twice a day in very cold weather, and sometimes not but once. They then drink too much at a time, get chilled, and are made uncomfortable. But if in the yard where they can get water at any time of the day they will drink but little at a time and get it as it is wanted. This is very

much better for them than it is to drink a great deal of cold water at once. They will not be as likely to take cold or to contract diseases of the stomach or lungs. Cows will give more- and better milk if they are keptln the yard in cold weather than they will to be roaming around and vainly trying to satisfy hunger by eating the' spoiled and frost-bitten grass, which is all the food they can find in the lots. All things considered, it will pay well to keep cattle in the yard during cold weather. — 2f. E. Homestead.

T < ‘ • —A father at Dubuque makes his children address him as follows, for instance : “ Most respected and reverend father, Til take another ’tater.” No Uncertain Sound.— When a man discovers a great truth it is his duty to proclaim it to his fellow-man. The use of Dr. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters cannot be too strongly recommended to the invalid public. To those who have tried it nothing need be said—their experience is their proof, pure and positive as Holy Writ. To those who have n«t tried it these truths cannot be too often repeated. It is a certain vegetable specific which aids faltering nature against the triumphs of dyspepsia, bilious disorders of every kind, malarious fevers, constipation of the bowels, liver complaint, Spring and Fall debility, etc., etc. It costs but little and can always be at Ijand. It is the poor man’s friend. It saves a doctor’s bill and the time lost in riding five, ten or twenty miles after him; besides being free from all the poisonous medicaments of the pharmacopoeia.

The Road to Health.

Cleanse the stomach, bowels and blood from all the acrid, corrupt and offensive accumulations which produce functional derangement, and you remove the cause of most diseases which afflict tbe human family, and thossave large doctors’ bills. The most effectual and reliable remedy for this purpose is found in Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Purgative Pellets. No cheap wood or paper boxes, hut kept fresh and reliable in vials. , High livers, those Indulging in ease and pleasure, and those of sedentary habits, can prevent Boils, Carbuncles, Gout. Red Skin, Eruptions, Pimples, Constipation, Piles, Drowsiness, Biliousness, and other conditions induced by such habits by taking from four to six of Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Purgative Pellets once a week, or, better still, one or two eaeh night. They are sold by dealers in medicines. Thebe is probably no way in which we can benefit our readers more than by recommendingto them for general use Johnson's Anodyru Liniment. It is adapted to almost all the purposes of a Family Medicine, and as a specific for coughs, colds, whooping cough, soreness of the chest, lame stomach, rheumatism, spitting of blood, and all lung difficulties it has no equal that ever we saw or heard of. The propriety of giving condition medicine to horses, cattle and 6heep was discussed and admitted by many of the Agricultural Societies throughout the State last fall, and we believe that in every case but one they decided in favor of Sheridan's Cavalry Condition Powders. Good judgment. Sea Foam Baking Powdeb. —In another column will be found the card of the old and reliable house of Geo. F.

Wilhoft’s Anti-Pebiodic ob Feveb and Ague Tonic. —This invaluable and standard family medicine is now a household word and maintains its reputation unimpaired. It is indorsed by the medical profession, and prescribed daily in the Charity Hospital and other Hospitals in New Orleans. Wilhoft’s Tonic is thus highly recommended by the leading medical men of the country, and is worthy of such indorsement. Wheklock, Finlay & Co., Proprietors, New Orleans. Fob Sale by all Dbuggists.

Dr. J. Walker’s California Vin-, egar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, mado chiefly from the native herbs found on tbe lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. The question is almost daily asked, ‘‘What Is the cause of the unparalleled Bsscess of Vinegar Bitters 1” Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease, and the patient recovers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the system. Never before in the history of the world has s medicine been compounded possessing the remarkable qualities of Vinegar Bitters in heaiing the sick of every disease man is heir to. They are a gentle Purgative aa well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organa, in Bilious Diseases. > The properties of Dr. Walker*# V inegar Bitters are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-Irritant, Sudorific, Alterative. and Anti-Bilions. r. 11.
