The Oneida Community. Chicago New*. The so-called Oneida community New York, in which socialism,including a •community of wives, is the leading feature, we regret to learn, is to have a representative in northwestern lows. The people in that section of the west are considerably excited by the informa tion that a com it unity of free-lovers D being organized by a Mr. Henderson, who lately failed in business at Le Roy, Minnesota. It is said that the site of his future operations has been selected in a rich and beautiful region lying between Postville and Clermont. Some of the lowa journals aie lamenting the fact that the Jslow poison of free-love and communism has been sown in many families in that rich and beautiful state. It is also added that a number of wealthy land owners have decided to ]>ool their fortunes, if sufficient persons jean be found to adopt the system, and that it is prebable people will be found to eDter this community of women as well as of goods. .. A young lady in the east end ate half a wedding cake, and then tried to dream of her future husband. Now she says that she would rather die than marry the man she saw in that dream.

F. MERRELL k CO., Proprietors, PHILADELPHIA. PA. STILLINGIA. 45 Years Before the Public. THE CENUINE DR. C. McLANE'S CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS, FOR THE CURE OF Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint, DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE. Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. PAIN in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pres sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appe tite and sickness; the bowels in gen eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally a considerable loss of mem ory, accompanied with a painful sen sation of having left undone some thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa tion of the skin; his spirits are low'; and although he is satisfied that exer cise w'ould be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the liver to have been extensively deranged. AGUE AND FEVER. Dr. C. McLane’s Liver Pills, in cases of Ague and Fever, w'hen taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a fair trial. For all bilious derangements, and as a simple purgative, they are unequaled. BEWARE OF IMITATION'S. The genuine are never sugar coated. Every box has a red wax seal on the lid, with the impression Dr. McLane’s Liver Pills. The genuine McLane’s Liver Pills bear the signatures of C. McLane and Fleming Bros, on the wrappers.

KANABI*K mm FAB FAHMEBM. Dissolve glue fn whisky and you have it “ prepared ” and ready to bottle and use. For throat distemper, grate fine a small green wild tnrnip, or, if dry, give a heaping spoonful, mixed with bran or oats. Never fails. Good for cougb, i also. In hatching turkey eggs sprinkle them the last two weeks slightly every other day with water that has had the chill taken off. Borne moisture seems to be necessary for turkey eggs. Mr. L. S. Coffin says: “I would almost as soon think of being without salt, as oil meal or flaxseed, with a herd of cattle. Then again, I suppose there is no bedding that is equal to flax straw for hogs.” The main object of a fair, is, of course, the good of the farmer, that is, the good which he derives from comparing his own products and processes with his neighbors’. Taerefore, the display of agricultural products is the first thing to be regarded. Of the $31,600 pai I in premiums last year by the agricultural societies in the state of Massachusetts, nearly $8 000 was paid for trottin; horses, s his was more than was paid for premiums on fruits, roots, grains, orchards, farms, and dairy products. Treat the family cow to a little oil cake meal every day, and she will quickly respond in more and much richer milk. Try it. Fresh ground and pure it con tains a larger per centage of gluten, al bumen, starch, sugar and fat. Best spring feed for all kinds of stock. Whitewash sticks much better when put on hot. If the lime be slacked in hot water in which a little rice has been boiled until thoroughly dissolved, and some salt added, it will be greatly im proved. Now is the time to apply the brush. It helps appearances if well done. A successful dairyman feeds his cows night and morning the year round, and in each feed puts a teaspoon ul of salt. He considers this method of salting cows preferable to the usual one of giving animals sa ! t once or twice a week and thinks his method adds largely to the amount of milk given. Every family finds more or less bones accumulating. Burn them with your wood, and the ashes thus enriched is one of the most valuable of all fertilizers. Money can not buy any article which will so fertilize your soil. Bones thus consumed will quadruple the value of wood ashes, which in themselves are among the best of soil-cnrichers. Shade trees are often planted too near to our dwellings, and too thickly, so as to make the house dark and damp and cheerless. Large evergreens are very much out of place on the sunny side of the house, while they form an appro priate screen and wind-break along the cold and exposed sides of our buildings. Set out trees—it is a duty, but set them out judiciously. Our farmers are fast learning that grass is a profitable crop, one that pays, directly and indirectly, as much as any other cultivated crop. We annually send millions of dollars north and east for hay which we can easily produce at home and with profit. We need to buy (if we don’t raise)|a much’larger quantity than we do, for it is notorious that live stock suffers fearfully during our short winters for want of a little food during severe weather. We can supply all the demands dor consumption if we will, and have a liberal quantity for home use when required.—| Our Home Journal. HOME 111 ATM. THIN' GINGERBREAD. B >il one quart of molasses twenty minutes; add immediately one table spoonful soda, one of butter, ginger to taste, flour to make a paste to roll. PRUNE PIE. Two cups French prunes steeped in water over night, one jcup sugar, one teaspeonful extract lemon, teaspoonfu vinegar, one-third cupful water ; wet the edges of the paste ;with milk; bake twenty-five minutes in rather hot oven. SUBSTITUTE FOR OYSTER SOUP. Two quarts sweet milk, two quarts water; when boiling, add one quart cooked tomatoes into wnich has been stirred hal a teaspoonful of soda; add butter, salt and pepper, and a little pul verized cracxer; serve hot. SAUCE FOR ROAST BEEF. Grate horse-radish on a grater into a basin; add two tablespoonfuls cream, with a little mustard aDd salt; mix well together ; add four tablespoonfuls of the best vinegar and mix the whole thor oughly. The vinegar and cream are both to be co’d. FRENCH MUSTARD. Slice an onion into a bowl and cover with good vinegar ; after two days, pour off' the vintgar ; add to it a teaspooniul of cayenne pepper, a teaspoonful of salt, a teaspoonful of s igar, one egg and mus tard enough to thickeu ; set on the stove and stir till it boils ; when cold, it is fit for use. TAPIOCA CREAM. Three tablespoonfuls tapioca; cover with water ; soak four hours ; pour off the water; put one quart of milk over the fire; when it boils stir in the yolks of three eggs and a little salt; stir until it begins to thicken; make frosting of the whites of three eggs, spread ever the top, flavor with vanilla. SPONGE CAKE. Four eggs, one cupful of sugar, one cu p and a half of flour, teaspoon of royal baking powder, one teaspoon ginger, half cup of milk, teaspooniul butter; beat the yolks, sugar and butter together; add milk and flour, with baking powder sifted in ; lastly, add the whites; beat to a dry froth ; bake thirty minutes. BLACK BEAN SOUP. One quart of black beans ; soak them over night in cold water; drain off the water in the morning and add three pints fresh water ; let them stew gently four and one-half hours. Add salt pepper, and a little clove. While cook ing put in meat, cooked or uncooked, as preferred. When done strain the soup; cal lemon in slices; place in your dish, also add a hard boiled egg cut in slices. Pieces of bread toasted brown are an addition, salt pork may be used instead of meat. PARSNIP STEW. C :ean them nicely; slice ; have some salt pork cut in small pieces well fresh ened, but not too much so; stew the pork one hour, then put in the parsnips, with a little pepper; when boiled up, taste to see if it is salt enough; stir until well cooked and very little gravv left. It will be very nice if made in this way. I sometimes put in with the pars nips a few slices of potatoes. TO STEW MUSHROOMS. Peel and trim mushrooms, using stems and tops ; wash quickly and carefully to get rid of sand ;if small, do not cut; if large, divide into four; put into cold milk, barely covering them, with a tablespoonful of butter, a light teaspoon ful of salt, and a half teaspoonful of white pepper. Let them boil steadily for fifteen minutes; add at the conclu sion a heaping teaspoonful of flour, well mixed with cold water; a final boil con cludes the cooking ;do not overcook. I beg to state that the old idea of cooking a silver spoon with mushrooms, and throwing them away as poisonous if the spoon is blackened, is an absurdity. If any substance contains a free sulphuret, it will blacken silver. Eggs contain this sulphuret, and blacken silver, but an egg is not po : sonous. Poisonous mushrooms are exceedingly rare, and are never offered in market. Perhaps some of your contributors will give a descrip tion of the dangerous varieties of mush rooms? # BAKED LIVER. C.slves :r beefs liver, laid in cold water for half an hour, dried on a towei, skinned, and the sinews pulled out as far as po Bible, then cut iu thin slices, about one half inch thick; give them a light dusting with flour all around, bake on a griddle in hissing-hot browned butter on both sides, no longer than five minutes, then salt and season with spice ; Tver becomes hard and indigestible if salted before basing ; al-o if baked over a slow fire; if no butter can be had, sma 1 cut pieces of fiesh bac .n sprinkled between the slices of the liver will sup ply the necessary fat and, roasted to a light brown, be an agreeable addition to the liver; those who like onion can lay some sliced onion between and roast slightly ; never put a cover ove: liver, as it will become hard; it ought to be dished on a heated plate, and eaten im mediately after baking. Oat meal will be so t in half the time if soaked over night in cold water; have an iron bowl with boiling water in the morning; pour in the soaked pulp, salt, and keep stirring with a wooden spoon till done. A Georgia Diamond. Washington Post. It is not generally known that there is in Georgia an immense ledge, the forma tion commonly called “elastic sandstone,” which is the matrix of the diamond. It is described by Dr. M. F. Stephenson in his book, now almost out of print on “The Mineralogy and Geology of Georgia.” It extends for many miles* A few splendid diamonds were found there years ago by gold washers, who were ignorant of what they found, Some of these were cut in England and set in jewelry, but most of them were lost- They were of weight from two to six carats, and three are remembered which were of large size. One of these was broken up by the miners to learn the cause of its luster. Another was used for years by the boys in playing marbles. By far the largest one was lost by a Dr. Dovd, who was employed to oversee the miners, and was one day working in the pit in place of a sick hand. He says that about two hours before sundown, while employed in raising gravel, he picked up a jstone, “which was bright and shiny only on one side, the other side being covered with a crust of brown stuff. It was about the size of a guinea egg.” He laid it out on a bank under a gum tree, intending at night to show it to his wife and children as the largest of the “pretty stones” which had been found. But he forgot all about it. Ten years later he learned from experts who took his description ©f the stone that his “guinea egg” was a diamond, which, it pure, must have been worth about twenty.five millions of dollars.

One secret ef a happy life is the habit of always looking on the bright side o things. It is a fine faculty, or perhaps we should rather say, it is a high at tainment in grace to be able to find good in everything, and to get good out of everything. Outward circumstances of disquiet unquestionably have some power to mar the peace even of the best men. But it would be hard to make one habitually unhappy who had accustomed himself to see God’s hand in every event of life, to live in daily acknowledgment of blessings received from fcthat Divine hand, and thus practically to have reached the point of finding good in everything, and getting good form every tiing. Now is it not the duty'and the privi lege of every child of God thus to live? Is there any Christian life so utterly destitute of good things as to have noth ing to be thankful for? Are there not in every life and in every lot. even to the humblest and the hardest, many daily blessings—many exemptions from evil and many signal interpositions of good, in what are called the common mercies of life, which we ought to recognize as coming from God, and which we ought to receive and acknowledge with a thankful spirit ? But in the great ma jority of cases, how are our lives abso lutely filled with blessings, multiplied from hour to hour, and repeated from day to day, if we had but eyes to see them and hearts to be grateful for them J[f we do not see them and feel them, it is because we will not. We do not think; we do not take time to consider, else we could say with David, “ Whoso is wise and will observe these things, even they shall understand the loving kindness of the Lord.” Of course it requires faith, strong faith in God, to live this life of cheerful acquiescence in the allotments of Provi dence, and of grateful acknowledgment for„the blessings which every day brings to us. But every Christian ought to have just this kind of faith. It is the faith which the bible everywhere en joins, the faith wnich was so emphati cally taught and exemplified by Christ himself. A thousand passages might be cited from scripture to show the reality, the value, the blessedness of such a faith. It is a working faith, a living faith, a happy faith, an overcoming faith. It surmounts all obstacles, smooths away all the little annoyances of daily life, spreads perpetual sunshine over the heart and over the household, even on the darkest days, because it bas learned to accept everything as coming from God, and therefore as coming fraught with blessings from His loving hand. Asa practical directory of life, what more does any child of God need to as sure his heart in peace, and to make him happy, than to enter daily into the spirit of passages like the following, which may be cited as specimens of all bible teaching on the subject: “In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.” Prov. iii: 6. “ Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee, because he trusteth in Thee. ’ Isaiah xxiv :3. “Ba careful for nothing, but in every thing, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God which passeth all under standing shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Phil. iv:6, 7. “Let your conversation be without covetousness, and be content with such things as ye have, for He hath said, I will never leave thee nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, the Lord is my keeper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.” Heb. xiii:s,6. Can a Christian man or woman enter every morning upon the work of the day in the spirit of passages like these, and carry that trustful, hopeful, happy spirit into everything, great and small, favorable or unfavorable, without thereby transforming life into sunshine, •and peace, and joy ? Try it, oh, sadly drooping and gloomily despondent Christian heart. Try it for a day, or a week, or a month, or a year; and see how it will work. Try it long enough to see, if you have not discovered a great, hidden spring of happiness where there had been none be ore. Try it, for it is your privilege as God’s child, to have the full benefit of a consolation which springs from God's own prescrip tion. Some will ask, Is it possible in this age of doubt and unbelief, to live such a life of faith ? The answer is, Thousands of tiue Christians in all parts of the world, are in fact living it to-day, just as Christians have done through all the ages of the pat, notwithstanding the prevailing fkepticism. And they are reaping all the rich ble sings from God which such a faith never fails to bring. What others are doiDg and have done, is always possible for you. oh, doubtful believer, if you will only use the same means, and take God’s precepts and promises as laid down in his work. The thing to do is to begin at once, and make an inventory of our daily blessings—it may, be life, health, home, kindred, friends, education, influence, a good name, an unimpeached character, food and raiment, and 80 on g ] ong list. All these you have received from God. Are you duly thankful for them ? Do you duly recognize God’s good hand in them, and feel how highly favored you are? When these are rightly ap predated and rightly used, then other blessings will come. Paul gives us as the secret of this happy life in one brief! closing ijword, “And be ye thankful.” Col. iii:ls. Many professing Christians, i make themselves needlessly unhappy, j and ethers around them unhappy, by ] looking at the dark side of all providen- | ces, by anticipating evils that never j come, and sometimes by fretfully strug- j gling after good things that never can come. They lose the greatest benefit even of their common mercies, by simply not accepting them in a thankful spirit and not appreciating them as God’s gifts. And a man of wealth and education, outwardly blest with every comfort, con> venience and luxury of life, can do this just as effectually as the poor man. Many a peor widow, reduced to her last barrel of meal and cruise of oil, is hap pier than her lordly neighbor with his broad acres and elegant mansion, because he lives in fretful practical atheism, while she has an humble, thankful heart, that recognizes God in her lowly walk and tastes His gists with Jjoy. In noth ing is Christian character more correctly stamped with Heaven’s own signature, and differentiated from that of the world, than in the thankful spirit. Trench has well remarked : Some murmur when the sky is clear And wholly bright to view, If but ODe speck of dark appear In their great heaven of blue. And some with thankful love are filled It but one streak of light, One ray of God’s great mercy gild The darkness of their night. If we cultivate a spirit of thankfulness in little things, we may soon have great things to be thankful for. But in great or small the exercise of that spirit will do the heart good. If therefore we would da good ta others, and honor the religion we profess, let us b 9 cheerful and happy. Lot U3 carry the sunshine of a cheerful face and a glad heart wher ever we go. Let us have a good encour aging word for every one we meet. If we have a home, R#id a home circle (one of Gad’s most blessed gifts) let us not darken it by our knitted brows and sulky mcods. Let us make it au Eden to the extent of our ability, by shedding over it the atmosphere of contentment, the fragrance of love, the sweet influen ces of all kind and gentle attentions. Think that this little circle, where now our daily, and it may be, lowly, lot is cast, with those we love the best, must ere long be broken up, sundered, eepa rated. Shall we b 8 so foolish as to mar its beauty now by morose silence, by unkind words, by gloomy forebodings, by ungrateful murmurings and repin ings at the allotments of Providence ? No, rather let us exorcise this selfish, envious demon by a full inflatus of the spirit of thankfulness. Alexander’s Story. A correspondent of the France, at St. Petersburg, states that as soon as the czar had entered the winter palace, after the attempt had been made to fhoot him, he gave orders for all his friends and the high officials to be admitted to his presence, and repeated to them the event which had just occurred, in the following terms: I was taking my usual walk this morning at nine o’clock and, feeling rather tired, I was about to return to the palace, when I saw coming toward me along the deserted flags a good-looking young man of about thirty years of age. I looked at him mechanically as he ap* proached, thinking the while that if that man wished to kill me it would be very easy for him to do so. This strange presentiment was ail the more inexplica ble as there was nothing in the stranger’s appearance to suggest that this was a conspirator. He wore the dress of a clerk in the finance department and his demeanor was perfectly correct. As these thoughtswere passing through my mind I saw him put his hand into the pocket of his cloak, take from it a pistol and aim it at me. Instinctively I darted aside. The shot went oft and missed me. Just as I was on the point of calling for help a second shot went off, and and thanks to the movement I made to right myself, it likewise missed its aim. I then called for help. Policemen appeared immedi ately. I walked straight toward the would-be assassin, who stood still a few paces off. His arm seemed suddenly paralyzed. The men rushed at him. He then seemed to recover himself, and fired two more shots, one of which uqs fortunately wounded one of my prearv ers, while the other hit the wall near At last the wretch was secured and dis armed. Thereupon, to tell you the truth, I felt rather faint, and I was brought back to the palace. Let us praise God, my friends. It is He who has spared my life. How They Go to Leadville. “ Why is it,” asks a correspondent, “ that if Leadville is as bad a place as you describe it, we never see any of the people who go there come back?” “Oh, well, that is easily enough explained. When a young man sets out for Lead* ville he arrays himseif conspicuously for a day or two prior to his departure, then he has the fact of his going and the train ho will take announced in the vil lage paper, and at the appointed time he goes rattling down to the depot in an open carriage two hours before train time, and swaggers up and down the platform while he waits, and as the train gees off he leans out of the window and yells a personal good-by to everybody on the platform. But when he comes back he times his return so as to strike his town by a back road, after dark, then he sneaks home through the alleys, climbs over the back fence, tap3 at the kitcheu window and tegs, under his breath, to be let in, and when he gets in he stays in bed three or four days, while his new ciothes are being made ancl the doctor is trying to count the blisters on Ms feet. Oh, it's easy to explain why we never see them come back ; but they do come back all the same.” . .The position of a judge is a trying one. Desperate Convicts. Colombo* (Ohio) Cor. At the penitentiary, this morning, R. D. Huntington, a three-year man from Ashland, cut off three fingers of his left hand to escape work. Huntington is a convict of more than ordinary intelli gence, and thought that the work was entirely too difficult for him. He is employed in Patton’s hollow-ware shop, and it was there that he multilated his hand. His mode of disfiguring himself showed the man to be the possessor of unquestionable courage. Laying his left hand on a block, and with a hatchet in his right he began operations. The first blow he took off about half an inch from the three last fingers. Again he struck, hewing off some more. Still thinking that he had not taken ofl' enough, he'fsla-hed away again. |At this juncture the guard saw what Hunt ington was doing, and wrenched the hatchet from the hands of the desperate man. He was removed to the prison hospital, where Dr. Allen dressed the mangled hand. Warden Dyer, as soon as he heard of the matter, ordered Hunt ington to be taken back to Patton’s shop as soon as his hand was bound up, and given something at which he could work with one hand. The warden says he is determined to break the growing prac tice of convicts maiming themselves to escape work ..“It is impossible to govern the worll without God. He must be worse than an infiael that lacks faith, and more than wicked that has not gratitude enough to acknowledge his obligation.” —[General Washington. . .Instructor, measuring our city map —“ It is half a mile from the academy for boys to the semi nary lor girls.” In nocent student, thoughtfully —“ It doesn’t seem so far.” Traveling Is Extra Hazardous. If the tourist is unprovided with some rued-, icinal resource. Changes of temperature, food and water of an unaccustomed or un wholesome quality, and a route that lies in the tropics or other regions where malaria exists, are each and all fraught with danger to one who has been improvident enough to neglect a remedial safeguard. The concur rent testimony of many voyageurs by land and sea establishes the fact that Ilostetter’s Stomach Bitters enables those who use it to encounter hazards of the nature referred to with impunity; and that, as a medicine adapted to sudden and unexpected exigen cies, it is peculiarly valuable. Disorders of the liver, the "bowels and the stomach, fever and ague, rheumatism and nervous ailments, Drought on by exposure, are among the mal adies to which emigrants, travelers and new settlers are most subject. These and others yield to the action of the Bitters promptly and completely. Safety, efficiency and reliability are the three cardinal virtues of a remedy, whether in the bands of a physician or in those of the people large. For the cure of all malarial or miasmatic diseases, such as Chills and Fe ver, or Intermittent Fever, Dumb Chills and Chrouic Enlargement of the Spleen, we have such a remedy in Dr. F. YVilhoft’s Anti-Pe riodic or Fever and Ague Tonic, the compo-. sition of which has been published by its proprietors, Wheelock, Finlay & Cos., of New Orleans, and is approved by the medical profession, and for sale by all Druggists.

It is believed that there is no chronic sore or eruption that, may not be eradicated by this incomparable purifier. Sold by all druggists. Cautht atl Lnut.
