How TO HAVE MEALY PoTAToEs.-
1t is difficult to get good potatoes, and
harder still to get them cooked so that
they may come upon the table mealy and
particularly, and until the new crop comes,
almost all potatoes when boiled are apt TO
be water soaked and soggy, and we are
sure the lovers of this esculent will thank
us for giving them receipt for having
mealy potatoes every day in the year.
not fancy one made to order for a cook
book, but one that has stood and will
stand the test of constant practice. 1t is
very simple, and involves only slight
increase of trouble and labor over the or
binary method of cooking: Pare the raw
potatoes and let them stand an hour or
SO in a basin of water to which pinch
of salt has been added. Boil quickly,
when done draw off the water carefully,
and replace the potatoes upon the stove,
in the same vessel in which they were
cooked, to dry for five or ten minutes.
When ready to serve, take each potatoe
and squeeze it gently,-but not enough to
destroy the form,-in dry napkin, and
place Immediately on the table. The
squeezing in the napkin takes out all the
water and leaves the potatoes that were
before wet and heavy, dry, mealy and de-
licious.-Sprinqfed Republican.

VILLAINoUs ATTEMPT AT CHILD MUIR
DER.-On Friday, German named Fritz,
who resides near Poughkeepsie, New
York, made horrible attempt to murder
his step-daughter, little child six years
of age. He enticed her to lonely road,
and when near stream of water knocked
her down and beat her with a heavy stick.
He afterward jumped upon her. After
he thought life had fed he raised her from
the ground and was dragging her to pond
to throw her in, when man who had OBJ
served the whole transaction at a distance,
and who was fastening to the scene, made
his appearance. Fritz, on beholding his
approach, dropped the body and abscond-
ed. He has, however, been arrested.
The child lies in a very critical condition.

DRUNKENNESS IN THE U. s. SENATE
The following paragraph indicates the
painful necessity for such efforts to promote
temperance among Congressman as Sena-
tor Wilson and others have engaged in
during the past winter:
Mrs. Salisbury appealed personally to
Senators not to press the resolution expel-
ling her husband, promising to take him
home to Delaware. No man could resist
such an appeal. 1t is impossible to think
of such an incident without emotion. Mr..
Salisbury is a man of very marked abill-
ties, one of the ablest, most cogent and
effective speakers in the Senate, Of fine
personal appearance, tall, erect, dark COM
plexion, with piercing eyes, and jet black
hair, CURLY and impressive in his manner,
and of noble and general impulses. But
| for the disease which affiicts and overmas-
tiers him, he would be one of the most in.
| fluential public men of the Senate ano
the country. Yet he is saved from igno
minions expulsion only by the sympathy
felt by his noble and devoted wife. An
other Senator whose term has just expired
"a man of clear intellect, finished culture
and facinating manners, but cursed by thu
same affection, was tolerated in the Sen
ate only from similar motive. One of thu
most touching sights to be seen in Wash
ington during the session was the presenc'
in the gallery of his wife and daughter
waiting night after night, often till loni
after midnight, anxious and distressed, t.
accompany him to his home. 1t may b
said to his credit that, whatever he ma,
have been to the rest Of the world, he wa
never anything but respectful, obedient an

Impeachment In History.

The power of impeachment became, in
the hands OF the popular party led by Pym
and Hamden, a weapon of tremendous
power, and they used it without mercy.
On the llth Of November, l640, the
House of Commons debated with closed
doors and when these were opened a ma
jority of the members with Pym at their
head, proceeded to the bar Of the Lords
and impeached Strafford, the most obnox-
ious of the royal ministers, of high treason.
The trial took place in Westminster Hall
the following March. Next to the trial of
Warren Hastings it was probably the
most remarkable impeachment case in
English history. The Commons sat on
elevated benches on each side of the Lords
The King and Queen occupied private
boxes behind the throne, hoping vainly
that their presence would act as check
upon the forwardness of the witnesses
and the violence of the managers. A gall
lery was elected for ladies, who paid high
prices for admission. The trial lasted thir-
teen days. The spectators used to come
as early as five o'clock in the morning
By seven the hall was full. The proceed.
ings began at nine, and were often pro.
longed till two, three, or four o'clock in
the morning without intermission. Wher
the prisoner was brought in, he made three
obeisences to the Lord High Steward, ant
then knelt at the bar. The managers
thirteen in number, opened the proceed
ings with a speech relative to some partic
ular charge. Their witnesses were exam
ined and cross-examined, and the cour
then adjourned for half an hour to ALLOW
Strafford an opportunity of conferrins
with his counsel. Afterward the Ear
spoke and produced witnesses on his de
Tense and the managers spoke to evidence
The prisoner was then remanded to tn
Tower. As the tlial went on it becam
evident that the number of Stafford
friends increased. Though modern re
search has shown that he was guilty of th
offenses with which he was charged, tha
fact was certainly not made out of the tria
