Mr.. Washburne's Allowances.

The Illinois Warwick, Mr.. Washburne
1t seems, did not carry his demOnstrative
system of economy to Paris with him, for
he has made application for an additional
$4,000 OF allowances to the legation of
which he is so illustrious an ornament,
for contingent expenses AS the present
allowance has heretofore been esteemed
sufficient by the really eminent diploma
lists who were Mr. Washburne's predeces-
sors at the French court, this application,
from one who in the last Congress made
himself the rough champion of economy
In cutting down the expenses of every
body else's office, occasions some surprise
and prOvOkes some remarks.
Mr.. Washburne will be chagrined when
ne learns the result of his application.
lie has mscalculated his power. Minister
Washburne at Paris is different person
from Congt eSSman Washburne in Illinois.
He left fully Onehalf his influence behind
him when he went abroad. At home his
requests were generally complied with,
but request from him three thousand
miles away is laughed at. Let him read
one OF his retrenchment speeches, and
submit 10 the hardships of his ill-paid
Office with as good grace as possible. HIS

The Plymouth Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1869-1941, 1869-11-04

A WELL know gentleman of this city
has handed us the following letter, which
he received this morning. Taken alto
gether, the "plant is very ingenious
one, and admirably calculated to deceive
the unwary." The epistle is written on a
regular business letter-head sheet, bearing
the names of Beals & Avery, lumber deal
ers, New Haven, Conn.,, the individual
names of the gentlemen of the firm be-
ing Chas. o. Beals and Henry V. Avery.
The letter reads thusly:
g." ESQ, DEAR SIR: On
my return from the West last Tuesday,
saw boy at the depot pick up package.
! linking that some person in taking the
train had accidentally dropped it, and fear
ing that it might contain something Of
value, and be misappropriated by the boy,
| gave him one dollar as n reward, and
took the package.
Making it known among the passen-
gers and finding no owner, brought il
on home with me. Upon examination
found it to contain twelve letters written
by parties upon whom q Judge from their
tone) you rely as confidential friends.
The contents may surprise you, and per-
haps put you on your guard.
IF of any interest to you, inform me
how | shall send them to you in person.
"Wishing to do as | would be done by,
Il am yours, &c,
"HENRY " AVERY"
The writer doesn't say anything about
renting the dollar which he paid, but OF
course, when sending for the letters, the
sum would be enclosed and as these let
tiers are sent all over the country, without
doubt, good many dollars are probably
"raked down" by Mr.. Avery.-MA,oauhet
Wisconsin.

Storing Vegetables.

As SOON as the tops of potatoes are
brown, it is time to dig them. All eXpe
rienced farmers know that each frosty
night deteriorates their keeping qualities
They should be dug on a sunny day if
possible-never on wet; the soil that
adheres tends to decay. Store every day
the potatoes which are dug, or protect
them with boards. |: is said that one pint
of water Stacked lime, scattered thrOugha
barrel of potatoes, will eifectually destroy
any tendency TO rot. The remedy is with
in the reach Of all. Immense crops of
potatoes are raised in New England. New
Hampshire and Vermont raise millions Of
bushels for starch manufacture. Starch
mills are erected upon every little stream,
and these States supply nearly all the
starch used in cotton-cloths and prints.
Squashcs should be gathered before the
frosty nights, if they are DIES red to keep
well. They can lie on the b; ok piazza or
in the barn until colder weather comes,
and then place must be selected neither
too warm nor too cold. The upper shelf
in kitchen PANTRY, which does not freeze,
we have found a good receptacle Those
who possess an old-fashioned brick oven
can keep squasheS the year round. If the
oven Is used, the squashes can be taken
out when it is needed but very few
housewives in these days bake in them,
and they are frOst-proof and not too
warm. Onions must be stored before the
frost. If in small quantities, they can be
tied on straws, or plated together with
their stems, and deposited in the aforesaid
brick oven, where the spring will find
them fresh rs in autumn. In larger guam
titles, they can he kept in the barn until
i'll danger of freezing, then stored in bar
rels in the cellar. An old Shaker told us
that they let theirs freeze stiff in the barn,
and in the spring they would grow Just as
well. When needed for use, they thawcd
them i'll cold water.
Carrots, beets, and parsnips should be
gathered carly, while their juices are in
their prime They are best kept in layers
of dry sand, covering thick layer over
the top ofthe box. Stored in this way, all
their freshness is retained.
Cabbages can be planted out all round
the sides of the cellar, and will grow
during the winter; or remove the outer
leaves, and store in boxes or barrels.
Kept in pits, dug below the action of the
frost, they will come out in the spring
white as celery, and much freshcr than
those stored in the cellar-Heorth and
Home
