SUSAN EDSON, one of Presi Garfield's attendantsduringhislast sick IICMH, was iu •Chicago a few days ago Bbe was avert* to talking concerning the Presidents ill now, the incidents attending it, or the manner In which he •was treated by his physicians. "The President's public acts,"said I)r. Edson. "belong, of course, to the public, butthe scenes and incidents of his bedchamber, which were heart-rending, were private and it would not be proper forme to re lato them. The President, from tho time he was shot until a short time before he diod, was Arm in the belief that he would roeover." "Did the President ever mention his aasaHsin? "Very seldom. He said once to me, which showed that he firmly believed his wound would not provo fatal, 'I will bo puzzled how to act when that man's application for a pardon comes before mo.' The Prosideut was oJl the time trying to divine the motive thatpromptod the murderer. At first tho President wast desirous of being removed to Long Branch, but at the time they took him thero ho was indifferent about it. Just before his removal he remarked, 'Well, there are many thinirs hero we will miss, after nil.' Ho wanted all the time to be taken to Mentor."

THE pnstor of a large church in Avon dale, one of the suburbs of Cincinnati, reaeutly determined to stimulate the zeal of his rather lukewarm congregation in a new way. He accordingly placed a lxjc ut a convoniout jpoiut, and invited his people to drop into ft during the week questions upon any subject which interested or parploxed thorn, promising toamtvor their inquries as best he was able at tho Woduesday evening meeting.

A MOST remarkable story comes from Ovid, Mich. Tho veracious report says Oreat excitement in this county prevails over the peculiar predicament of a man hare who, dlsgustea with tho rain, which was rotting his wheat, solxed a large butcher knife and,rushing into his field, •aid h® wished he could catch God and cut His throat for sending so much rain. IJo sooner had he uttered these blasphemous words than he stood rooted to the spot, from which he has not sincemoved. Two doctors from Flint tried to rescue him, but they were friahtemed away by the thunder "and lightning. The people of the community round are all praying lor his delivery, but as yet without avail.

Is a certain cemetery Is a curious trio of graves—those or a man and his two wivw. On the gravestone on the right was a carved hand pointing to the center with the inscription, "He was mine," The stone on the left had also a band Erected toward the middle mound with the words "Ho was mine also.'. In the middle lav the re.nains of the "lord" himself, and upon the head atone were carved two hands, reaching In either direction as If to clasp the other two. Above them were the significant words, ••They were loth mine."

THE ART OF LEA VE-1A KINO A contemporary says Not all have learned the tine art of leave-taking in an appropriate manner. When you aro about to depart, do BO at once, gracefully and politely, with no delaying. Don't sav, "It is "about time I was going,"then settle back and talk almlesslv for another ten minutes. Some people have just such a tiresome habit. They will even rise, and stand about the room in various attitudes, keeping their hosts also standing, and then by an effort succeed in getting as far as the hall, when a new thought strikes them. They brighten up visibly, and stand for some minutes longer, saying nothing of importance, but keeping every one in a restless, nervous state. After tho door Isopened the prolonged lenve-taking begins, and everybody in goneral and particular is invited to call. What a relief when the door is finally closed 1 There is no noed of being offensively abrupt, but when you are ready to go—go.

My daughter, iolet May, aged seven. who has wanted a little playmate, asked our doctor if he did not sell babies He said 'Yes ono dollar for girls and two for boys.' She went upstairs and brought one dollar and fifty cents out of her money-box. 'There,' said she, 'I want a vory good Bhe-baby.' The extra fifty cents wero to secure a warranted one. 'Why not take a boy?' asked tho doctor. •Well,' said little May, *1 am told that boys very often turn out badly when they grow up—staying out late at night and wanting latch-keys, or people to sit up and let them in.

A STARTLINO SCANDAL. Bostiou Courier.

When the benediction was pronounced the haudful of people slow ly dispersed, but lehold how much good seed a lew can scatter The next Sunday the sacred edllico was packed. There was, indeed, hardly breathing room when tho white-haired sage once more lifted his head above the pulpit cushions, and a silence as of death fell upon the expectant throng. He stood a moment looking upon tho unwonted scene, and then his voice iu silvery cadences broke the hush of anticipation."

Then the brute seized the table cloth and set down on the floor, pulling the dishes and everything else over with him in one grand crash.

WEDDING INCIDENTS. Galveston News. The ladies all sympathize with 1 lie young woman who, just before her marriage was to occur, was spoken to sharply and peremptorily by the prospective groom on account |of her dilatoriness, and the threat made that after marriage she would have to bahiive differently, and who, when the marriage ceremony was in progress, responded with au emphatic not to the question whether she would take this man to be her husband. They will also sympathize with a young colored Jwotnan in the predicament in which she found herself in'$t.Louis,and with the action taken by tier. She was prevailed |npon by a du3Ky suitor to leave the kitchen where she yas engaged iti domestic duties, to accompany him to a justice's ollice for the puipose of getting married, he having procured the necessary licenso. She was averse to going ou accouut of her clothes, but was overpersuaded. When tho justice started to perform tho ceremony, she broke out with Hold on dar: .taint no use.

Oh, the awful, cruel strength of death, and tho weakness, the helplessness of love! They who loved her better thau life could not lift a hand to avert the destroyer they could only watch and wait until the end should come. Her merry, ringing laugh would never again gladden their hearts her little feet would make no more music as they ran pattering to meet them. Baby

May was dying and all the house was jdying, and all the house was darkened and hushed!

Then it was as the shadows fell in •denser waves about us, that she stitred •ever so faintly, and our hearts gave a great bound as we thought: "She is better! She will live!" Yes, she knew us her eyes moved from out- face to the other, with a dim, uncertain gaze. Oh! how good God was to give her bacte. JIow we would praise and bless Him all our lives! She lifted one dainty handcold, almost pulseless, but better, better —we would have it so—and laid it on the rough, browned hand of the rugged man who sat nearest to her. ilis eyelids were red with weeping, but now a smile lighted all his bronzed face likea rainbow as he felt the gentle pressure of his little daughter's hand—the mute, imploring touch, that meant a question. "What is it, darling?" ho asked in broken tones of joy and thanksgiving.

She could not speak, ami so we raised her on the pretty lace pillow, and her wee white lace shone in the twilight like a fair star, or a sweet woodland flower.

The good, old-time "mammy" is fast lading from view, and, in a decade or more, what specimens of her are left will be as relics of bvgone grandeur. She may not know how* to handle "dese yer kerosene lamps," but the modest tallow dip she carries to tho back kitchen, after the dishes have been washed, will not cast a ray of light over a motley crew of "ladies and gentlemen" assembled to discuss the latest moasure up before the "sisters of fortitude" and tho contents of your larder. She may amuso your com puny by handing around what sho calls "partoeshun water," but her breath is undefilcd with brandy and water. She may be a blockhead, a dolt, but her innocent mind is free from "de s'ciety." "do hawming new preacher," and how she is to get "de liftv cents to pay to do furrin' missions."

"Yes,'-' replied Dobbs, with the air of a man who knows all about It: "yes, I have heard of It so stated." "If Arabl had not defeated Nebnchadnezrer at Malvern Hill it is my opinion that Cicsar would have routed Groticby's guerillas and then beaten Cicero's shar p-shooters in detail." "That's the way 1 look at it," replied D-Jbbs. "Oh, it is, is it asked the old gentleman, winking at the ladies. "Well, Pin glad I've found a gentleman who agrees with me on that point."

PUTTIXG UP conx.

It is no use for the housekeeper who can command only ordinary coveniences to attempt canuiug green corn. It don't pay. The writer speaks from experience. Once upon a time sho am nod green corn aud tomatoes together, in glass jars, and mixture kept perfectly, but the family wouldn't eat it. Then*she tried the corn alone in glass jars, according to a receipe that a depraved woman sent to the Michigan Farmer. Result: six broken jars, a lot of chicken feed, and a very mad woman. Tho next year she tried the tartaric acid plain, but that was more like pickling than tanning, and the corn lost all, or nearly all, its sweetness and the medical man of the family said it was not a healthy mess anyhow. Once again she tried, a'nd this time it was salt. The corn and salt wero packed in alternate layers in a stono jar, with an inverted plate and a weight on top. When tho family felt hungry for green corn, along about the middle of the Winter we cooked it. and we fixed it up with butter and a bit of sugar, and rich cream, and then we fed it to the chickens. It was almost as good as birch sawdust. After tho last failure we took to drying corn, and success crowned our efforts. To dry corn, take it when just right to boil boil for live or ten minutes, or long enough to set the milk then cut the corn from the cob and dry in the sun. When quite dry, heat in the stove oven to kill the eggs' that may have been deposited by Vnsec's, and then tie up iu paper sacks until wanted for use. When perfectly soaked and cooked, this dry corn will come as near greeu corn as anything you can get.

PICKI.KS.

If you want to make decent pickles, uso only the best cider vinegar. Don't buy the stuff that is sold at the stores under the name of "pure cider vinegar" unless you can depend upon the word of your grocer. Next, never put your "pickles in anything that has held grease. Thirdly, Jkeep pickles only in wood or stoneware. Don't use iho common glazed earthen-ware, for Use glazing contains lead, which will combine with tho vinegar, and you know, or ought to know, that lead, in any form, is not a hoalthy substance tfl take into tho human stomach. Fourthly, if you will uso brass, bell metal, or copper kettles to scald vinegar in, clean the last thing before using, and do not allow the vinegar to remain in the vessel one iustant arteritis removed from the tiro. And lastly, use vinegar enough to cover the piekioa, a weight to keep them under, and a few pi ecus of bruised horso-radish root to keep them from moulding.

To prepare vinegar that is goou for all common pickles, add a teaspoonful of alum, a half teaspoonful of salt, pepper, cloves, and other spices to taste, to each twojgallons of vinegar. To make cucumber pickles, for immediate use, wash tho cucumbers and pour scalding hot brino over them. lA^t them stand for threodays then drain off the water, pack in a jar and pour scalding spiced vinegar over them. In three days they will be ready for use.

SWKET PICKLES.

One pound of sugar, one quart of vinegar, and spices to taste to every two pounds of fruit. Boil the vinegar and su^ar together, and remove the scum as itarisos.

CONDITIONS OF LONGEVITY. Nature will allow man to live long ami be happy on condition that her laws of life and health are obeyed. Keep the blood pure, keep the bowels regular, koep the kidneys strong, keep the mind clear. These are her four chief commands. Dr. Guysott's Yellow Dock and Sursaparilla is a great help in maintaining these conditions.

HOME-MADE CANDY. All children are fond of candy, and if pure, a moderate amount is notinjurions iu these days of adulteration, that made at home is* the safest to give them. It ia a timple matter to make chocolate caramels all that is needed is one cup of sweet milk, one cup of molasses, half a cup of sugar, half a cup of grated chocolate, apiece of butter tne size of a walnut stir constantly and let boil until it is thick, and turn it out Into buttered plates when it begins to stiffen, rnark it in square*, so that it will break readily when cold. Cocoanut caramels are made of two cups of grated cocoanut. ooe cup of sugar, two teaspoonfuls of fl«»nr, the wh! of three eggs beaten stiff bake on battered paper in a quick oven.

R. M. Brxrox, of Columbus, Indiana, writes: "For kidney complaint, indigestion, and weak lungs, I can conscientiously recommend as a reliable cure Dr. Guysott's Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla. I have used It mvself and immended it to my friends,"with mos satisfactory nanUsa."
