How to Make Il Place Prosperous.

There can hsrdly be greater sign of
prosperity in a community than DISPOSE
ton to help one another to lift little when
neighbours wheel gets stuck in the mud.
| knew Of place where mans barn,
with all his winter store of grain and hay,
was consumed in the night Immediately
all the men of the country side mustered
and hauled up timbers for new barn, and
then a big raising came off. After that the
sound of twenty or more hammers was heard
until the whole was shingled and sided
But their deed Of kindness was not done
yet one and another offered to take head
or two Of his stock and winter them for him,
thus greatly reducing his loss, and assuring
his heart of more durable riches of brother
ly love and neighborly good will. No one
can compute in money the value Of one such
example of noble liberality in a community
especially in its influence upon the young.
Where this spirit prevails there is sure to be
progress in place even if all improvements
are in their infancy. People will like to
come and settle in place which bears such
good name. Now if you desire to see
your place growing, popular one, do what
you can to show yourself good neighbor,
especially to those who need little extra
help 5gs ya..5 Ra1ss} 3 l.lr f ac-'
If a man starts tin shop or black
smiths shop in your place, don't harness up
and drive off five miles to buy your pans and
get your horses shod, just because you have
been in the habit of doing it. Patronize the
newcomer, when you want anything done
in this line. Speak encouragingly to him,
and well of him to your neighbors. Little
words Of approval or censure 60 long way,
and when once you have spoken them, you
cannot call them back. ..'.f -. :.
Help the sick, especially if they are poor,
for poverty and illness are indeed a heavy
burden. Perform all acts Of loving charity
which fall day by day in your path, remem-
bering who it is that has said, eye shall in
no wise lose your reward. - Country Gen.

TOMATO BATTER CAKES. This being the
season for the highly esteemed vegetable,
the tomato, we take occasion, says cotem-
porary, to recommend mode of serving
them, and which, after trial, we can pro-
nounce excellent. 1t is to slice them, when
ripe, cover them with batter, and fry on a
griddle, like other cakes. They should be
seasoned while frying. Large and solid to-
matoes are the best for this dish. Those
who are fond Of tomatoes will take new de-
light in them fried in this way for breakfast !;
and we believe that many who have not fam
cied them in the old styles serving, will find
them most palatable in this way .lso 8-llg

THE VALLEJO BALLoTs.-The election of the
Republican candidates for county officers in So
lano county is to be contested in the Courts, on
the ground that the socaled "pasteboard tick
cts " used by the Republicans did not fill the re-
quirements of the law. The point which the
contestants expect to make, we believe is that
said tickets were not printed on paper. This
will no doubt be hard to prove, as it will be diff
icult to determine just where the line should be
drawn between pasteboard and paper, and what
ever doubt there may be in the minds of the
Judges will probably be given in favor of the
voters depositing said ballots. Much has already
been said regarding these Vallejo ballots, the
Democrats claiming that they were printed in
such a manner they could neither be scratched
nor folded. On the other hand the Sacramento
Union says that the material used (be it paper
pasteboard) could be easily folded so as to
conceal the names of the persons voted for and
the Vallejo Recorder further states that by actual
count the name Of John NJ. Coghan Republican
candidate for Congress, was scratched on one
hundred and Airty-eigh tickets in the city of Val
iejo alone that some of these voters did not
vote for any Congressman whatever and that
some cast their ballots for George Pearce fur
thermore, that if any man was disposed to re-
ject any portion Of the ticket he had good op-
portunilies for carrying out his desires. Cogh-
lan's large majority in Vallejo is accounted for
by the fact that goodly number of Democrats
voted for him. We do not think that the Re-
publicans whose elections are contested will be
deprived of taking their official positions, but
vallejo ballots may result in much good, by
calling the attention of Legislators to the fact
that law should be passed describing more full
ly just what the ballot should be- Let them
describe the material, color, size, shape and
manner in which it should be printed.

BEFORE THE CALIFORNIA ELECTIONS.
JUDICIAL ELECTION.

The Judicial and Educational Election, held
grand victory for the Republicans. The voters
of California re-aifirmed the decision which they
gave on the 9th day of September, by giving more
than double the majority for the Republican
ticket at this last election. If there was any
doubt regarding the political status of the Gold
en- State, after the September election, that doubt
has now happily been dispelled. California has
again ranged herself on the side of civil liberty
and enlightened progress, and hereafter, for a
number of years at least, can safely be counted
on as Republican. The Democracy will have to
take several New Departures before they can hope
to overcome the ten thousand Republican major
ity in this State.

THE CHICAGO oFIRE.-SENsATIoNAL.-A Chica-
60 dispatch, dated October 23d, is as follows =
The Times this morning publishes highly SEN
sational account OF the origin o: the great fire
in what purports to be confession of member
of the Societe Internationale, who alleges that
1t was their secret work that he set the first
fire on De Koven street, and about a dozen con-
federates assisted him in spreading it. He de-
clares that this is the third attempt to burn the
city, the first being on the 30th of September,
when the Burlington warehouse was burned the
second, on Saturday night preceding the great
fire on Sunday. The account is minute in de-
tails. The writer further says that George Fran
els Train is member OF the Society, and that
he in his lecture in Farwell Hal, on the night o.
the disaster, came near betraying them, using
the following language This is the last pub
lie address that will be delivered within these
walls. A terrible calamity is impending over
the city of Chicago; more | cannot say more
