Who was it that said, ''Six wears have
elapsed since the last gun was fired; is 1t not
nme that the disabilities imposed by the fif-
teenth amendment should be removed?'

angered, patient and faithful dares. unmind-

ISLANDERS heaped upon him, to do his duty
alike to friend and foe, to God, his country
and himself?
''It is the dummy driving his horse along

Who is it that will live in the hearts of his
countrymen-revered at home and abroad.
the great soldier, the modest citizen and the
faithful public servant; unOstentatious, un-
assuming, brave, without ambition, forbearing,
resolute in doing what he deems right, but
never offensive in asserting himself soldier,
general or chief-for thousand years after
his poor detractors have gone down to for
gotten grave?
1T is the dummy driving his horse along
the Jersey beach" #.H
No words can give any adequate descrip-
ton OF the dramatic effect and tremendous
power OF the reply. The voice of the speaker
was clear as bell and was heard by every
man OF three thousand present, and might
have been heard by twenty thousand. As
often as he commenced the refrain-''It is
the dummy'-the audience arose, shouted,
cheered, laughed, and wept alternately. Such
an effect has rarely leen produced on a mass
OF people. 1t seemed an inspiration. The
effect OF that meeting will never be forgotten

PUMPKIN PIEs.-Cut the pumpkins into
small pieces; take out the seeds and inside
but do not pare it. 1t must be well-grown
and thoroughly ripened, andnot watery Put
the pieces in a saucepan, with only few
spooniuls OF water-not more than four; COW
er close and let it cook gently, so as not to
scorch, until the water has all evaporated,
and the pumpkin has cooked quite dry, and
OF rich, dark orange color. While hot sift
1t through coarse sieve. Season only as
much as you are needing for the day. For
one large pie-one egg, one tablespoonful of
molasses, four table spoonfuls of condensed
milk, and enough of new milk to make it as
thin as you wish-or if you have it-half
:ailk and half cream, instead of condensed
milk; sugar and spice to suit the taste. Bake
till clear rich brown, but do not blister or
scorch,
DRYING PUMPKINs.-Peel and cut as for
for stewing; then slice very thin lit can be
done with cabbage slicer) then spread on
tins or other dryers and put in the stove oven
with moderate heat. 1t will retain its nat
ural flavor better than any other way In
preparing it for pies, soak it in water a few
hours and stew in the same water.
FRIED SoUAsH.-Slce thin, dip III EGG,
then in flour, and fry in butter.
PRESERVED APPLEs.-Weigh equal ouan
| titles of good brown sugar and apples: peal.
core and mince them small. Boil the sugar
allowing to every three pounds pint of wa
ter; skim it well, and boil it pretty thick;
then add the apples the grated peel of one or
two lemons, and two or three pieces of white
ginger If you have it,. Boil till the apples fall
and look clear and yellow. This preserve
will keep for years.
CREAM CAKE.-A cheap and excellent
cream cake for every day is made in
this way; Break two eggs into a cup, and
fill the cup up with sour cream. Add one
cup of sugar, one cup of flour, (perhaps a
little more) salt, soda, and nutmeg This
can be used only for a jelly-cake.
RAIN-WATER BARRELs.-Where it is de-
sirable to catch rain-water for washing, and
there is no cistern for the purpose, kerosene
barrels are very useful. You can buy them
for seventy-five cents apiece. Light match
and apply it to the oily inside of the barrel,
and it will burn away the oil and give you a
clean whole barrel. OF course none but an
idiot would do this where the flames would
endanger house, barn or other property.
LAMP CHIMNEYs are most apt to crack af-
ter being washed In my own experience
they are less apt 10 break if moistened with
the breath and polished with q cloth or pa

which gives them a clear brilliancy.
To SOFTEN PUTTY.-To remove old putty
from broken windows, dipa small brush in
nitric or muriatic acid (obtainable at auy
druggistsl, and with it snoint or paint over
the dry putty that adheres to the broken
glass and frames of your windows; after an
hours interval, the putty win become so soft

last five years has been a leader of fashion in
New York, and who may be seen twice a week
in her elegant caleche driving pair of superb
ponies in Central park, has recently stated, in
the select circle to which she belongs, that the
only article in existence which imparts beauty
and lustre to the complexion without ultimately
impairing the texture of the skin and causin g
it to collapse and wrinkle, is HAGAN's MAGNo-
Liza BALM The name of the distinguished
member of the beau monde who made this dec
