Wanted a Skillet, and Didn't Drink.

The Lebanon (Ky.) Herald tells the
following: Judge Green relates that,
as he was walking down West Main on
Monday afternoon, he met venerable
man, red at eye, upkempt OF lock, and
out at elbow, who had modestly asked
him for q quarter. "Stranger," said tins
impecunious patriarch, Pm u movin'
to Arkinsaw-me and the old woman,
and the childun, and John Johns my
oldest son) and his wife and his childun
and, stranger, my steers Iun away
with the waggin jest afore we got to
town back here, and broke every bit of
crockeryw r. we had. Didn't even
leave us a skillet to bake hoe-cake in
for the childun when we camp tonight.
And, stranger, gentleman back here
gimme quarter, and | thought ii
could get you to gimme another quarter,
maybe could 60 back to town and get
% skillet" "You wantit to buy skillet,
do you ?' asked the Judge. "Oh, yes,
stranger; | want to buy a skillet" be
replied-and then, as if it had suddenly
occurred to him that his temperance
principles might be impugned, he
added: "As for whisky and brandy, |
haint teached a drop in forty year"
" WE'LL" said the Judge, who is always
ready to listen to an appeal for charity,
but who was a little Suspicious OF the
intended destination of the desired
quarter, ego with me back to the
square and | will get you skillet"
"Stranger," returned this ancient man,
"Tm afeared the wagin'll git too fur
ahead of me eff 90 back-good evenin',
stranger" And off he tramped, skillet
less and quarterless.

Hints for the Household.

Hints Tor the Household.
To Keep Hams ia .Sunmcr-Cut in
slices and tim off the rind ami out
side; fry it about halt as much as you
would for the table. Pack it tightly in
jars pour over it the fat that has been
fried out of it, close the jars tight, set
them in II cool place, and wher used
give it second frying before serving
up.
Eoe,y day' Pudhng-Iialf q loaf OF
stale bread soaked in n quart of milk
four eggs, four tablespoonfuls of flour
little fruit, dried or fresh, is great
addition. Steam or boil three -fourths
of an hour.
Cream Cake.-Three taacupfuls sugar,
three of thick, sour cream, five we'll
beaten eggs, two even teaspoonfuls
soda, -four enough for batter, flavor with
lemon. This will make two goodszed
cakes.
4 Breakfast Dish.-This is from a
good foreign authority: "Bruise into
saucepan four ounces of cheese, two or.
Of butter, pint of water, with a little
salt; boil gently, adding by degrees as
much flour as would thicken it: let it
dry on stove until it is like thick new
butter; then add either two or three
eggs and little cayenne"
Virginia Applecake.-Take one cup of
bread dough; put one and a half cups
Of sugar into it, roll it about an inch
thick, put it in II long pan, then slice
good baking apples thin, and put
smoothly over the dough; sprinkle SUI
gar, butter and cinnamon and bake.
Ills is very nice indeed, and much used
in Virginia for tea cake, as 1t is gen
eral favorite.
Teras Cup Cakes.-Two cups sugar,
one cup cream, half cup cold water.
three and half cups of -four, half cup
of butter; six eggs, yolks and whites
beaten separately, one teaspoon essence
of vanilla bake in tins-cups are best.
This is very light and delicious cake G,
and certain of being good, if properly
made.
Spring Geaning.-Simple salt and wa
ter cleans and preserves mating more
etiectually than any other method
Tepid tea cleans grained wood. Oil.
cloth should be frightened, after wash
ing With soap anu water, WIN SKIM
milk. Salt and water washing pre-
serves bedsteads from being infected
with vermin also, mattresses. Kero.
sene oil is the best furniture oil; it
cleanses, adds q fine polish, and pre-
serves from the ravage of insects. To
get rid of moths and reaches from clos.
cts and buI eau drawers, sprinkle pow
dered borax over and around the
shelves, and cover with clean paper.

Editors of the Register


Editors of the Register:
There seems to be an impression in
some portions Of the State that Judge
Edmiston is still in feeble health, and
as his name has been mentioned, and
will be pressed by his many friends for
the Court OF Appeals, we deem it but
due Judge F. to correct this erroneous
impression. Early last winter Judge E.,
from exposure, contracted a severe cold
which ran into a bronchial affection,
and which was not only troublesome
but very prostrating during the winter,
but Immediately on the return of mild
weather he commenced improving and
is now almost entirely well and engaged
in the fill practice Of the law in this
and adjoining counties.
Four years ago Judge E. was nomi-
mated at Grafton for the Court Of APP
peals, when there was no reasonable
hope Of success; yet he accepted the
nomination with the view Of aiding in
perrecting the organization of the party
and did all that was proper (for one
running for a judicial position to do) to
secure the success Of the Democratic
party, of which he has been firm and
consistent member all his life. His
friends think that having accepted the
nomination at the time he did, that it
is but Just that the party confer that
nomination upon him again, when
there is a chance of his election.

DELEGATES 70 BALTIMORE.

We have heard it suggested that the
Democratic Convention that is to as
semble at Parkersburg next Thurs lay
should offer some instruction to the
West Virginia delegates to the Balti>
more Convention in relation to candi-
dates for the Presidency. We hope 1t
will do nothing OF the kind. The
proper course to be pursued by the
Democratic party in freeing the nation
from a continuance OF GRANTS admins
tration, is involved, as yet, in too many
contingencies to justify hampering the
National Convention with instructed
delegates, or declaring positively for
one course or another. The result OF
the Radical Convention at Philadel-
phia will throw some light upon the
Democratic pathway to success, and the
drift of public sentiment, now uncertain
and undecided, will have become so plain
and well settled by the time the baltimore
Convention is to meet that the proper
course may be easily marked out. We
take it, that every Democrat in West
Virginia expects to abide by and sup
port the nominees of the Baltimore Con-
yention, be they who they may. The
assembled wisdom and patriotism OF
the party are looked to to devise a way
Of escape from the evils that now op-
press the country and the still greater
evils that are threatened, and it is not
vet time to determine irrevocably what
the plan shall be. For these reasons
We hope that the Democratic Conven-
