The Banner is pleased to note the in* tercet so widely manifested in the Wom an’s Department This week it Is intended to make this column instructive as well as entertaining. There have been a large number of in. quirics mnde to the editor of the Woman’s Department as to suitable recipes and oth or little bits of information about bouse keeping, and the replies can not fail to awaken much interest. Below is given some information to in quirers that will be certain to make good reading for every housekeeper. A MCE DESSERT. Somebody asks me what is the nicest dessert that was ever made. It is “Snltapa Roll,” and It is made as follows: Take a mold, a melon for instance, and line each half with a rich ice cream al ready frozen. The cream may be of any flavor, but chocolate or strawberry looks tbe prettiest. Sprinkle the cream with choice'sultana raisins, and fill the center with whipped cream, sweetened and fla vored. Close tue mold and pack in ice until needed for the table, when turn out whole. Slice through with an iee cream knife, and serve with iced claret sauce- This is a difh, the like of which is rarely met, and when once enjoyed is never to be forgotten. ice cream with buttermilk. "Housekeeper” of Winterville wants to know how to make ice cream when quan tity is especially desired. Put one gallon of rich sweet milk in a double boiler 1 on stove. While it heats, beat together, three large coffee cupfsull sugar, one heaping cupful flour and any where from four to eight eggs. When the milk is hot stir mixture in and cook until thick as starch. When coo), add one-balf gallon of buttermilk in which a small pinch of soda has been stirred, and one large table spoonful of vanilla. This is very nice. To make peach cream, let the above be half frozen, then add the peaches well whipped and sweetened. < • • LEMON SHERBET WITH CKBAMi ‘‘Anxious inquirer,” of Athens, asks the (Muticulare of making lemon sherbet with cream. Here they are: Make a rich lemonade—stronger and much sweeter than you would make it to drink; put in freezer and freeze until well grained. Have ready one qtfkrt of sweet ened cream, well ^hipped, and add to sherbet. / blackberry ice. I have been asked how to make black berry ice. Here is a good receipt:. To one-half gallon of blackberries well crushed and strained, add the juice of four lomons and rind of two, one pound of sugar, or more if desired very sweet, two quarts of water. Soma Summer Delicacies. STRAWBERRY ICE WITH WHIFFED CREAM, Sweeten well one-half gallon of ripe sirawherries, or two quarts of canned ber- bles,add three plots of water and the juice,o( one lemon. Freeze. Serve with whipped cream, sweetened and flavored. To make the ice a more decided lose color that it may contrast well with the cream, add a few drops of fruit coloring, which is perfectly harmless. Or tbe cream maybe tinted with the fruit coloring, to match the ice. DELICATELY FLAVORED JELLY. Perhaps you have never tried this. . I have, and found it good, so wiil give you tbe benefit of my experience. If, in mak ing apple or peach or any light-flavored jelly, you add two or three leaves of the rose geranium when boiling, yon will have a meat delicious flavor. Eva Freeman Hart. A CURE FOR UNREST. THOUGHTS FOR CHRISTIAN EGOTISTS. “I have not been able to Bleep for some time,” said a friend to me not long since. ^1 have tried change of air, and all kinds of doctors and drugs, but I am sleep less.” •‘Have yon tried change of thought?" “No, for in my condition that is impos sible." I was of another opinion, and persuaded my friend to go away from the place where his thoughts were running in a groove, not jpn a pleasure excursion, but to a new and engrossing occupation. For a time the medicine seemed too strong for tbe disease, and though he slept, it was the sleep of exhaustioo, and not of refresh ment. After a few weeks the remedy be gan to take effect. The work was easier, and the sleep became natural. Instead of talking of bimself and hiB feelings, be was eager to talk of bis occupation and the plan of life which grew out of it. The centre had changed from self to an exter nal objec:, and the change of thought had come naturally. Much ot our restlessness is only exag gerated selfishness. One who is fully oc cupied with plans for the good of others, forgets himself and bis woes or weakness es, and has no time or place for that ner vous excitement which is often another name for intense egotism. There is a de votion to others which only meaus gratifi cation of self in another form. This is tbe selfishness of the master who treats bis servant with consideration and kindness in order that be may be well served; of the patron >who bestows favors upon life flatterers and sycophants^ of the official and politician who gives to others that be may receive as much again. Such var nished selfishness affords no satisfaction and ministers no rest to a weary and dis turbed soul. It is only as we subordinate aalf that we can be happy. Ambition, vanity, envy, jealousy, are all selfish sins. When each one esteems others better than bimself, tbe rivalry is not to get, but to give, and there is no anxiety and restlessness in such a struggle. “I came not to do mine own will, but the will of Him who sent me,” were the words of Jesus, and He bide us ‘‘take His yoke upon us and learn of Him, and we shall find rest onto our souls.” We shrink from this yoke. We wish oar own will and way, cost what it may, It is an age of intense egotism and personal vanity. —Exchange. WHY LEFT UNREAD? One of the last sermons preached by tbe late Canon Liddon in St. Paul’s was on "The * Worth of the Old Testament.* These were bis closing words: “As we drift along the swift, relentless current of time toward the end of life; as days and weeks and months and years fol low each other in breathless baste, and we reflect now aud then for a moment that, at any rate for us, much of this earthly ca reer baa passed irrevocably; what are tbe interests, the thoughts, aye, the books, which really command our attention? What do we read and leave unread ? What time do we give to the Bible? No other book, lei us be sure of it, cao «qually avail to prepare us for that which ties before us; fur tbe unknown anxieties and Borrows which are sooner or later tbe portion of moat men and women; for the gradual'-ap- proach of death; for the paauee into the unseen world ; lor the sjgnt and sounds which then will burst Upon us; for tbe period, be it long or short, of waiting and preparation; for tbe throne and the face of the E.ernal Judge. Locking back from that world, bow» shall vie desire to have the most of our best, guide to it 1 How shall we grudge tbe hours we have wasted on any—be they thoughts or books or teachers—which belong cnly to the things of time 1” • It pays to do everything well, because one thing well done is a part doing of the next thing Jbat we would not do otherwise than well. "‘Play always as if a master were listening,” said Schumann, himself a musical master, who knew whereof he advised. If the doing of one thing is, in effect, tbe preparation for, and part doing of, another, then it were well to perform any part always as if the Master were lis tening. because, if the Msster is ever to lis ten, He is, in effect, listening always.— Sunday School Times. DOING AND BELIEVING. Keoador's Presidential Clemency. Washington, Jnly 23.—Dr. An tonic Florerf, the president of the republic of Ecuador, wishing to celebrate his birth day by some act of charity, granted a pardon to eighty-seven persons in the penitentiary of the republic, but It ap pears t$at the convicts did not turn the president’s clemency to very good ac count, for fqrty-six of the eighty-seven weie behind the bars again before the end of the week.

IT BREATHES A LINGERING SAD NESS. NO OTHER MUSIC LIKE IT. A Kind of Melancholy Sweetness That Is Not Equalled on Earth—Reasons For Its Sadness- Old Negro Min strels of To-day. - Ninety yeats ago in a little grass-matted hut beside the Niger river a white traveler lay tossing in the agonies of a troj ical fe ver. SoD>eumes in his delirium he mur mured broken fragments of Scottish songs —sometimes, as tbe pangs of the fever mo mentarily abated, the sound ot the bag pipes seemed to ring in his ears, and, roused to semi-consciousness by tbe sweet illusion, the sick man would rise from his couch of reeds and cry: “Play the ‘Blue Bells of Scotland, piper—play the Blue Bells.’ ” Then a woman, dark of face, and clad only in a bine cotton skirl, entered the but Sitting down beside tbe invalid she began to softly croon a song of wondrous melody. In tbe music of that African song pathos, sympathy and anxiety seem< d to blend with hope and confidence, while the sound ever soft and low, touched gently the ears of the sufferer, sod soothed him to rest and sleep, from which be awuke, weak, but free from the fever’s grasp. That traveler, says the Chicago Globe, was Mango Park. In bis memoirs be says: T am firmly convinced that the soft mu sic of that itegro woman’s song saved my IKs and gave me new strength for my un dertaking.” How or when the negro acquired his lore of music history cannot tell. Herod otus tells of tbe “sounding bows” of tbe Ethiopians—black bows whose strings gave out a melody sweeter than the -notes ol lyre or dtberia, and which were in great demand at festivals. In Roman times the Mauritanian blacks were noted for their musical skill, and the chroniclers of the middle ages often speak of the sable musi cians who deliguted tbe lordly Saracens with their talent. In the strange, mysteri ous land of Africa, the negro has little to do and abundance wherewith to support life. Doubtleat, in the earlier ages, he lounged about bis hut day t iter day, until a> la-t from sheer ennui, he turned to mu sic as a meaus of employing his idle time. As the centuries rolled on the black be came more and more skilled in musical art until, when his race first began to see the shores of America, be was already a vocal and instrumental genius of high merit But it was among the negro slaves that the "divine an” reached its perfection. Tue poor African, lorn from nis native land, and sent from ease and idleness to hard work, nnder an exacting master, coaid not express his thoughts in tbe ordi nary language of common conversation, but all the pathos, all the sorrow of his misfortunes and bis surroundings, acting upon bis sensitive and romantic nature combined to produce a type of song which the world has never seeu surpasesd. Pcr> haps a wile or child would be sold into servitude, far away from the poor slave who composed the song; perhaps a kindly master would pass beyond death’s river. perhaps the slave himself would be sent into a distant state, never again to see the home which had become dear to him by countless ties, but, whatever tbe cause, the negro soDgs remain matchless in their melancholy sweetness, marvelous in their patient resignation to fate and ‘Tnasaa’s” will. But there were gleams of light and hap piness in the life of the slave. In the evening, when tbe work was over, tbe darkies would assemble in the ‘tquanera" and, while the ’possum and the hue cake, the sweet potatoes and tbe corn were, be ing cookra to perfection by the skinful “aunties,” tbe fiddle and the banjo sound ed merrily and the uproarious chorus min gled with tbe shuffle of tbe dancing feet. Front these festive occasions sprang the idea of negro minstrelsy, which baa shoe become so distorted that not one person in fifty north of Mason and Dixon’s line has any idea of real plantation mosic or of the real depth and richness of those unique and matchless melodies. Since the war the negro has been free, bat be has not forgot ten bis music, and be, and bis descendants, even tbosj in whose veins lingers hardly a drop of negro blood, still sing the songs that once delighted "young maaaa” and rose sadly around "old massa’s grave. Bat even among the negroes there was a great variety of music, tinged by locality, of course, and often by the ancestral tribe ol the negro. Thus, in New Orleans tbe blacks had a list of songs mnch different from tbe music of Virginia or the Caroli nes. Tbe songs ot Carolina dwelt upon cotton lands and rice fields; those of Lou isiana less upon material surround Inga and more npno sentiment aud love. • Much French blood ran in the veins of these people and their mnsic showed the combination of races. Even now, in Lou isiana, the creole women—women of Wuom a Southerner once said that they were the most beautiful in the world—the quadroons and octoroons, chant their songs and lulla bies in both French and English, and the mellow accent of the negro tongue yet clings to every melody, in either language. The south may change aa tbe years pass by, tbe negro may be blended with the white, and lost from view in tbe millions who will yet people that lovely southern land, but the songs of slavery, the won drous expressions of all the music of a hap less race, will live forever and be sang in future ages by men and women who can claim no trace ot African lineage, and who grill remember nutning of the table composers, save tbe song. WANTS FAIR TEXT BOOKS. MeBw* « WINE OF CAHDUlior 1 Some Interesting Pointers In Regard to a Most Important Matter for Southern Schools—Let us Have Good, Fair Books About the War. Nxw York, July 33.—Just before Sam Small left town he had a few things to say on the politics of the south. "The Alliance brother," said Mr. Small, "is a horse, and galloping through the south with great energy. The rank and file of the southern De- mperaqy are under the Alliance banner. They don’t wont a third party. Tbe Democratic party is the pasty of the people. They are the people, and they have a few planks which they want to see in the platform of the People’s party. They control seven or eight southern states and, as Democrats, they will send delegates to the national convention who will, as Democrats, ask that the .Alliance doctrine he considered. Geor gia has 84,000 Alliance Democrats. Ar kansas has 75,000. Nearly nil the farm ers in South Carolina are for the De mocracy and the Alliance. . Senator Bom Dead. Tahlbquah, L T., July 23.—The Cherokee nation is in mourning for tho death of her leading statesman, Senator W. H. Ross, who died very suddenly of heart disease at his home in Fort Gib son. Senator Rom was a half breed, 08 years of age, and was educated at Princeton college by his uncle. Chief John Ross. He entered pnblio life at the age of ~3. and has held almost every office in the gift of the nation, from chief down. He was a lieutenant colo nel during the war in the Confederate army. He was a brilliant orator, and a leader of the National party. ran A Banner reporter caught Mr. Bran son on the fly yesterday and held him forja little talk about school histories. “What do yon think of the bill before the legislature to proscribe histories containing the words, rebel and rebel lion, as applied to the south,”- we asked. “It is all right and wrong in no whit,” said he warmly, “bat it is firing at a man of straw, for the makers of school histories are long ago too smart to expose their books to attacks of this sort, or at least I recall but one school history among the forty odd offered for sale in tbe south whioh offends in this way. “The fact is, we need to get this whole question out of ’he air, and fix it upon certain books that may be con demned specifically. It is entirely a question of which of these books, in cluding those written in the south, is best, which the poorest, and bo on; for none of them are beyond criticism.” Won’t you illustrate your meaning, Mr. Branson?” # Certainly. Swinton, a northerner, and . Chambers, a southerner, both offend in the same way., Mr. Swinton writes a book of American History, containing of course a treatment of the late war, anddoes not mention, does not even give the name of our Stonewall Jackson 1 what genius in a writer it takes todothjf! while Chambers writes a book—two books, bless you—purporting to satisfy Southerners, and does not mention the name of our great Ben Hill from lid to ltd of either book. He goes two para graphs to Canonicus, a feathered red skinof forgotten times—he gives the name of Calhoun. Only this and nothing more! (Chambers’ Primary History. Eggleston has about the same way of escaping offense to the South—that is, he ignores us as much as nossible. He gives in his largest book just six lines ’to the South’s splendid victories in these piping times of peace. Think of that! Again. He says of Sherman’s burning of Columbia, “During its oc cupation the city was burned.” Yea, verily! But isn’t this what Spoopen- dyke would call a dod gas ted tneasily, way of dodging the truth?” “Well, what book do you think is best?” “Excuse me, my dear sir. I may not answer your question, without abusing the courtesy of vour interview. 1 mean to say only that nothing short of a comparative study of these forty odd books of histories will enable any of us to get at the truth. I could not assume to settle the matter, by a study and criticism of one or a few of them. But I will say that it ia wrong in us to expect Northern men to satisfy the South, aa long as we are ourselves so widely divided in our jdtigment.” “Whatdo you think of Bill Arp’s re cent attack on Montgomery’s History?” “Well, I had this in mind when mak ing the statement you’ve just heard. Maj. Smith scores Montgomery severe ly for just such statements as may be heard within our own doors every day. ;?or instance, he takas exoeptiou to this statement: “Secession was the work of a few political leaders in tbeSouth.” But only on last Monday the venerable Dr. Chappell in our own Georgia legis lature put this very thing even more strongly. Said he: But for Hubert Toombs Georgia would never have se- oeded. Here you have Montgomery’s few reduced to one right here at home. Again Major J. F. Hanson an old confederate of approved valor aud re puted still to be of capital fighting qualities, has recently delivered him self upon most of the matters com plained of in Montgomery, and in much the same way, but much more strongly For instance, Maj Hanson did not hes itate to say .quoting from Alex.Stephens, ’slavery was the corner stone of the Con federacy. He added that slavery was the cause of the war, that secession and the Confederacy were mere incidents of slavery, that the war was not only brought on by a minority but (what u wore*) the defense of the south was left to s minority. Hs quotes trom Davis’s speeoh in Macon in*64,to prove this lasts point. Would it not be well for these two Mqjora to agree here at home,before man flirt* expect the makers of school histories to plumb the line with satisfaction to us all? Pie south Is not even agieed upon the justice or injus tice of tbe banging of Henry Wins. An old guard at Andereonville, an honorable gentlemen living now almost into tbe shadow of that place does not hesitate to say that Wires was banged as he deserved to be. With such differ* ences among us here at home, what book of history written by a man of manly front, no dodger nor skulker nor sneak, is likely to satisfy us all alike?" “But ought not the horrors of John son’s Island to be pot in on the other side, or the whole matter of the treat ment of prisoners in the late war left entirely out of our histories?” “Exact ly, and I heartily think this last should be tbe case, doubtless tbe whole matter, on both sides, was barbarous and with out adequate defense. I spent a couple of hours la*t winter in tbe sibbly Prison in Chicago. Not a some went oat of that building while I was there, that was not warmly indignant, Confederate and Yanked alike, about the treatment of prisoners, on both sides. Old Libby prison as a show in Chicago ia a mistake. Stand ing for the best orison on either side, it is yet a vivid reminder of Elmira and Salisbury, Johnson’s Island and An- dersonviile. I want the whole busi ness stricken out of our books. Mississippi River Improvements. * Washington, July 25.—Acting Sec retary Grant has approved a change made by the Mississippi river commis sion in the allotments for river improve ments. Tbe most important of these changes is the deduction of $75,000 in one sum and $50,000 in another from the original allotment for Lake Providence reach, and the application of these two amounts to the general levee construc tion and to the improvement of Plum Point reach. A night tu Now York. And the sights to be seen after the shades of the evening have fallen and darkness has settled down upon tho great city. Such was the lot of the Lazy Man a few nights since, and while his writings may he of little interest to tLose who have been to New York, they may be to those who haven’t. # * * The Lazy Man met up with Dilworth Choate, an old Georgia boy who now is ono of the best reporters on the staff of the Now York World, and with him took in a few of the sights. The first visit waa paid the police headquarters, and of all tbe wrecks of humanity ever seen, they were there. The Lazy Man thought he had seen a great deal of the world but found out that be had barely skimmed the sur face. IT DIDN’T The Flan of Capitalists to mulct a Town at Lincoln’s Old Homo. Martinsville, Ills.. July 24. —Lincoln City, Spencer county, is built niton the site of the boyhood homo of Abraham Lincoln. Twenty-five yeaqj ago a com pany of Boston capitalists conceived the idea of building UJ) a city on the historic spot. Five hundred acres of land, in cluding the ground on which the Lin coln cabin stood, and the graves of his parents on the hill, were laid off into lots and an artificial lake was made. Maps and illustrated circulars were scattered broadcast through tbe land. Auction 8alee were held and hnndreds of lots were sold at high prices. Scores of cottages were built and most liberal inducements offered to attract families there. A large number of families moved there and tbe scheme promised to be a success, but sickness soon inva ded the town. No remunerative em ployment was provided for tho citizens, consequently in a few years the town was abandoned • and the enterprise proved a failure. For twenty years the town was virtually abandoned. The lots and cottages reverted to the com pany, or were sold for taxes, aud the land was again on tho market at $30 to $40 an acre. Tbe town now is at a rail road junction, bat little business is done. 1 Old men and young men, boys and rls, women and children.; of all na- onalities and conditions; poorly elad, with dishevelled hair, wild staring eyes, and demoniac look. Some excited pity, others disgust; but taken all in all it was a picture*)! wretchedness. Be it said, however, to the credit of New York that her police headquarters are kept in a splendid con dition. »** While here, I took occasion to learn a little about reporting.for a newspaper. Across from police headquarters each paper in the city has a little office nicely fitted up in a three story brick building Whenever anything happens, it is tele graphed at once to these offices, and Jf it be of sufficient importance it is looked up at once. I also found that the “scoop” bust nesa was practiced very little by the reporters. They very cheerfully and willingly lend each other all the assis tance they ean in getting up news for their respeotive papers. *** ,V A peep was then taken at the people occupying the lower station- in life. Of all the depravity andl wickedness on earth, it is to be found among this class. The sights were of sufficient horror to make tbe Lazy Man thank God he lived in Athens, and to hope that no such class would even darken the limits of bis adopted home. •** The foreign population seemed to be the most degraded. Two classes of foreigners made op those people, viz., Chinese and Italians. Of cousre, a large per cent of the best citizens in New York are Germans or Irishmen. Bat in the Chinese quarters, the scenes were such as the Lazy Man nev er had any idea be would ever witn Tbe opium den of the Chinaman is tbe den ot iniquity. It is tin breeder of disease ana crime: It is a sore upon the body politic of America that such should ever be allowed to exist. No wonder the Chinese immigration bill was pass- ed. *** The Institution that struck the Lazy Man as being tbe most dangerous in New York was the bar room rnn by tbe immoral citizen. There are more bar rooms in New York than anyone would even imagine. And 4 in there little groggeri-A the dangerous element of society meet, and drink, and put their heads together, and oonooct schemes, and lay plots, and oarry them oat in the commission of crimes. *** Whether a check shall ever be put upon them depends on a restrictive la that will prevent ao many of the out- easts of the Old World landing at Castle Garden. It ia not only true of New York, but it is true of every great city. Its remedy is to be hoped for. *** And oa and on until tbe heart grew weary of seeing so mnch wickedness, and the early hours of tbe morn an nounced tbe nyesaity of returning co CHILD made birth Dyspepsia ■ ■ Intense = Few people have suffered more soverelj from dyspepsia than Mr. E.
