In a short time our county convention
will assemble, as well as those OF other
counties, 10 nominate candidates for the
many poslions Of honor, oonfie and

people look closely, At the character aud
capabilities of the man. before placing

Character is one thiag, CaPObility an
other; both are requisite, but if both can
not be had, you then must Of necessity
choose between the frm. true man and

The most bare faced exhibition on
record of the partisan proscriptive
spirit of Republicanism was that wit
messed in the Philadelphia Navy Yard
flew days ago. The Commandment,
"by direction of the Navy Department,
issued an order prohibiting the employ
ment of any person "hostile to the
present administration" in any of the
workshops, and announcing that "the
Secretary of the Navy particularly de-
sired that preference should in all
cases be given to those who have be.
longed to the Union party" So brazen
and shameless "desire" as this prob
ably never before expressed by the head
of a department. Some Democratic
journals spoke favorably of Mr.. Bor.
les conservatism at the time of his ap.
pointment, but since the appearance
ofhis infamous order they have retrac
ted the Endorsement they then gave
him. Mr.. Borie was supposed to be O
respectable man, but that was clearly

Nutnlegs.

Nntmegs are the fruit Of a beautiful
tree which grows in the Molucc'
Islands, and in other parts of the East
All the parts of the tree are aromatic
but only those portions Of the frui
called mace and nutmeg are marketable
The entire fruit is of an oval form
about the size of a peach. The nut
meg is the innermost kernel. 1t is
surrounded by skin which, peeled Off
constitutes the mace of commerce
The tree yields annually three crops
The first one, which is gathered in
April, IS the best. The Others are
gathered in August and December
Good nutmegs should be dense and
heavy, and free from worm holes
When the worm holes have been al.
tificially filled up, the feeling of light,
ness in the hand is a means of detect
ing the fraud. An attempt has been
made to cultivate nutmegs in the West
Indies, but without success.
