DEAR SIR---I am instructed by the
united Liberal party Of Louisiana to
call your attention to the fact that @
general convention of the voters of the
State, opposed to Grant and favorable
to the election of Greeley and Brown,
has been called to meet at New Orleans
on the fifth day of August to nominate
a State, congressional and electoral
ticket, under the banner of national
and State reform and the leadership of
Greeley and Brown. am gratifed to
be able to report that the call, after
having been signed by more than four
thousand voters Of the city Of New Or
leans, has been numerously and en-
Enthusiastically responded to throughout
the State by large numbers of voters,
including very many Of our best known
and most influential citizens.
l am instructed by the United Lib
eral Committee to say that they in
dulge the hope that your committee
will approve of their effort to enlist in
this movement all of the elements op-
posed to Grants administration and
favorable to the election of the Ma
tional Liberal and Democratic tickets.
Very respectfully,
DURANT DAPONTE,
Representing Liberal Committee of
Louisiana.

HONE, WIFE, AND SATURDAY

HoAE, WIFE, AND SArURDA,
NlGHr.-Happy is the man who has
little home and a little angel in it of q
Saturday night. A house, no matter
how little, provided it will hold two OF
so-np matter how humbly furnished,
provided there is hope in it; let the
winds blow; close the curtains. What
if they are plain calico, without border,
tasse1, or any such thing Z Let the
rain come down /; heap up the fire.
No matter If you haven't candle to
bless yourself with, for what beauti-
full light glowing Goals make, render
ing cloudless shedding a sunset through
the room; just light enough to talk
by, not loud, as in the highways; nor
rapid, as in the hurrying world; but
softly, slowly, whisperingly with
l,auses between for the storm without
and thoughts within to I'll up with.
Then wheel the sofa round by the
fire; no matter if the sofa is settee,
uncus hioned at that, if 50 lie it 10 just
long enough for two and 0 half in it.
How sweetly the music of silver bells
from time to come falls on the listening
heart then. How mournfuliy swell
the 9 imes "of the days that are no
MORE" Under such circumstances,
and at such a time, one can get at
least sixty nine and half miles nearer
'kingdom come" than any other point
in his world laid down in "Malte
Brnn." Maybe, you may smile at this
picture; but there is a secret between
ns, viz: it is copy of a picture rudely
lone, but true as the Fentateucb, of
IN original in every human heart.

Committee of Louisiana:
DEAR SIR-In behalf of the Liberal
Republican Executive Committee, I
beg leave to return thanks to you and
the committee represented by you for
the valuable and acceptable informa-

vote Of Louisiana to the national Lib

the elements opposed to Grant, will
meet with entire success.
Very truly yours,

Cooking potatoes is one OF the line art.
This is the way the Rural Home puts
it. Follow these directions and you will
find out how good potatoes can be
made.
When they come to the table smoking
hot with their Jackets" on all bursting
with the floury inside, it is sight to make
a dyspeptic good-natured, and never will
fail to turn sullen face into wreathings
smiles.
Then let me say, writes lady friend, a
few words about cooking this vegetable,
and tell the way in which have been the
most successful.
TO boil potatoes, let them lie in cold wa
ter six hours at least before boiling
twelve hours for very old potatoes is not too
long. Then put them in little water salt
ed, let the water be kept moderate boil
till they are done, which should be TESTED
with fork; then pour off the water and lei
them stand in the pot till dry. Great care
should be taken not to let them boil mo-
ment after they are done, as it will render
them watery.
An excellent plan to make old potatoes
mealy is to turn them into cloth and rap
idly Shake them about or take them one
time in a cloth, and sligtly press them.
The larger potatoes should be put in tn
pot before the smaller ones, that they ma,
be equally done. 1t requires from forty t
fifty minutes to boil old potatoes. New
ones will take half the time.
