The Fruits of LocOfocoism.


The Harrisburg Keystone, makes the following
confession:
Let any farmer, mechanic or laborng man,
take up the huge volume of acts passed at each
session, and turn over the pages from the begin
ming to the end, and see how many he can dis
discover in which he has any interest. He will
fnd them almost wholly made up of acts of incor-
Pora;ion, or supplementary thereto, and special
and local acts, most OF which never ought to have
been passed.
X will be remembered, that the Locefoco party
has had for long and almost unbroken series oi
years. the control of the legislation of the State
vet is has, by its majotitss, perpetrated these al
legged outrages upon the people Before every
election, the editors and orators of the party are
elamorous in their IDENTIFICATION of these legisla
aFe denominations, and predict ruin unless the peo
pie save the Commonwealth by trusting to the vir
tues oil the patent Democracy After the election
according to the Keystone, they set vigorously tc
work toylolate every pledge they have given !: anc
we find their legislative achievements "'alfnos
wholly made upof incorporation or supplementar,
thereto, and special and local acts, mcstcf which
never ought to have been passed.

SteWed Celery.

The editor of the Horicuturist gives the fol-
lowing mode of cooking celery, and from long ex-
perience Of its merits recommends il as delicious
dish
"Cut the blanched or white portion of the Gel
cry stalks in pieces about an inch in length, and
and water in equal proportions, barely sufficient
to cover them; add little salt, and let them stew
gently until perfectly tender. Then take out the
celery, add piece of butter to the liquid it was
boiled in, thicken IT slightly with flour, pour it
over the celery, and serve ii up"

LoCoFoCo LOVE OF oRDER.

The friends Of free trade, while they do all
in their power to snatch the bread from the op-
eralives IN our manufactures, mines and forges,
TO swell the riches of the English baron., do
not hesitate TO profess special affection for
Them, and haired of their employers. They
affect TO believe that the interests OF the en-
ployer and the employed. which every honest
mind admits 10 be identical, are hostile and IT,
reconcilable When heir own policy has led
as the Wings predicted il must lead, 10 dim
mutton of wages on the part of the operative.
and often 10 RUN on the par, OF the employer,
Locofocoism turns up It's eyes with hypocritcal
horror al the cruelty Of the latter, and endeavors
TO persuade the workmen that it is a needless
act of oppression. II urges the operatives TO
strike. fflhose be found who-nformed of The
necessity which induces the fall Of prices, and

thors of that calamity-refuse 10 listen to the
councils Of Locofocoism and s'arye, but con-

party is aroused, and those who engaged in the
strike are urged TO riots and outrage, in which
peaceful men, helpless women and inofensive
children are driven, with brutal violence, from
their labor, and left 10 destilu.ion and despair.
Several scenes of this character, marked with
peculiar a,rocity, were some time since enacted
under locofoco prompting, in Pittsburgh. 1t
was vain TO allege ,ha. this violence was un-
just and illegal, that il was unmanly and craven,

by the party. ,ba, the press elsewhere has tar,

His face was so black that he couldn't tell when

A willing Prisoner.

There is woman named Barbara Donnels on,
has been there since the year 1903, with but short
intervals. She has such a strong desire to stay
there, that when discharged by the Judge, as she
has been several times, she commences smashing
the windows of the citizens Of Newcastle, until
she is sent back. She is Scotch woman, and
when in jail, is neat, industrious woman. Her
conduct, apart from her singular monomana to
become prisoner, and smash windows when out
Of Jail, is without reproach.
