Drying Sweet Corn.

THERE are various ways of doing this,
and, OF course, woman-like, we think our
way is the best. We have tried both
ways-of cutting it from the cob and dry.
ing 1t in the sun without scalding, and of
first scalding it few minutes and then
cutting 1t as closely as is possible with
out shaving the cob-and can safely as
sert that the latter method is far superior
80 this season we shall put on the biggest
Kettle that will fit the stove, and fill ii up
with ears of sweet corn in the height of
their sweetness and juice, and letting
them scald for five minutes shall then
skim them out into pan, and with a
corn-cutter scrape off each ear. Then
spread the corn upon large plates, and
set them in the tin oven, back ofa Stewart
stove, or not having that, they could be
placed in the stove oven when it is partly
cooled down. When the corn has shrunk
up so that the plates can be emptied into
one, it can be placed in the sun, and coy
cred with piece of mosquito netting.
which will keep off the flies, etc, and
when thoroughly dried it can be kept in
paper bag and hung up in the store
room. Then next winter we shall have
succotash frequently, as we shall have a
plenty Of dry Lima and butter beans.
To use the corn, first wash it in cold
water, letting all the hulls rise To the top,
and be poured off. Then turn on warm
water enough to cover it, and let it soak
all night in a warm place. Next day
half an hours boiling will make it soft
and tender,
Soak the beans in the same manner. and
turn them together when they are ready
to be boiled, straining out all the water
from the beans, but leaving it in the corn,
as 1t will be sweet and milky. Add enough
water to boil both corn and beans. Then
turn in large cup of rich milk, or cream,
and boil fifteen minutes Season with
salt, pepper and butter.
1t stands to reason if the corn is first
scalded, it retains the sugar of milk,
which produces its sweetness, but if it is
cut of in the green state, this dries away
upon the plates. And again, it is needfnl
to dry 1T rapidly at first to preserve this
flavor in the corn, which would be more
apt to evaporate if dried slowly in the
sun. But we must take care not to dry it
so quickly as to scorch the kernels, for
then they would be ruined. Sweet corn
is sometimes put down in salt. Cut off
the corn after first scalding it few min
utes; then place a layer of it in a stone
jar, and scatter a thin layer of fine salt
over 1t, and fill up the jar in this manner.
Keep it in cool place, tightly covered
and when desired for use, soak it over
night, first washing it in several waters to
take out the salt. Then boil it in milk
and water, with or without adding the
beans. A tablespoonful of sugar will i'm
prove its tlavor.-Daisy Eyebright, IN

hold them fast in a deadly embrace. A
Republican Congress has already taken
the initiatory step for the enfranchisement
of the farmers. As Senator Morton re-
marked in his recent speech, a special
committee was appointed at the last ses-
sion of the Senate, invested with ample
powers to examine and report upon the
subject of transportation. The needs of
increased means Of transportation, the
abuses and extortions practiced by rail-
way companies, and the remedies for these
needs and abuses, are within the direct
scope of the inquiry which this committee
Is instructed to make"
GBrNo party that has ever been in pos
session of the Government has managed
the public finances with more prudence
and careful forethought than the Republi-
cans. They have maintained the revenues
upon scale sufficient to pay off q large
floating debt, to reduce heavily the funded
debt, to extinguish the compound interest
notes, the temporary loan and the three
per cents. standing on call; they have
kept an ample stock of gold always in the
Treasury, that has insured the regular
payment of the gold interest without the
necessity for sudden purchases; they have
reduced the rate of interest on the debt,
raised American credit everywhere, given
the nation the largest and strongest bank
ing system in the world, and brought us
within sight of a favorable balance of
trade. And under their guidance the Ma
tional Mint is now coming and putting
into use an American trade dollar that will
make our coinage the preferred element
in the commerce of Asia, where it has
never had such standing before.-Phflo
delphta North american.
N5S As the result of comprehensive
survey of the field, now that the lines of
battle are forming with sufficient distinct
ness to admit of safe conclusions, we find
that the Republican party is still in an
advantageous position. 1t has done moth
ing to forfeit public confidence. 1t is not
responsible for the errors or crimes of in.
dividuals when it denounces them as it
has in its official utterances 1t is DOS
sessed of the progressive spirit that en-
ables it to deal with the questions of the
future as it has done with those of the
past for the public benefit The people
know that it can be trusted, and will trust
1t. In Wisconsin and Mississippi, as in
Ohio and other States where it has spoken,
1T has pointed with pride to its achieve
ments, and spoken firmly but not rashlv
OF what it must yet accomplish. These
declarations are before the people, and
against them are only the feeble plati-
tudes of the Ohio platform, repeated in
all the States where the Democrats have
held conventions. To doubt the result is
to doubt the good sense of the American
people.-N Y. Times.

In This Sign We Conquer.


IT is interesting to mark the difference
between the fearless action of the Repub-
lican party, as exhibited in its State Con.
ventions, and that of the various organi-
cations opposing it. Ohio, Minnesota,
Iowa and Wisconsin--all great Republi.
can States-place themselves squarely on
the side of the farmers movement, and
bring the Republican party up in solid
columns to oppose monopolies and fight
the battles of the new revolution. They
condemn corruption and iniquity where
ever found, and apologize for no guilty
man, be he friend or foe.
How is it with the parties in opposi-
ton? In Ohio and Pennsylvania the
Democracy pass long strings of resolu-
tions upon dead issues, but dismiss the
agriculturist with feeble mention, and
without proclaiming any method to re-
dress the wrongs under which this class
is laboring. In the former State the
Pharisees, the new party" passed the
farmers by without recognition, not deign-
ing to give them even paragraph in the
wordy resolves" sent out as a platform.
In Kentucky, the home of the simon pure
Democracy, the ever-faithful Democratic
State, the farmers were not only ignored,
but the party refused to condemn the in
crease of salaries, while some of the chief
Democratic organs openly defend it.
These facts speak for themselves. They
show that the skulking guerrillas who
compose the various squads opposed to
Republicanism are ready to do anything
for power, and that they are everything
by turns and nothing long, to suit the
various breezes that blow in their indi-
vidual localities.
Such conduct has received, and will
continue to receive, the disfavor and con-
tempt of the people Parties, like men,
must be honest if they would be success
ful. Trickery, demagogism, hypocrisy,
cannot permanently triumph. If there is
any Republican working for the new re-
form for policy's sake, he may as well
lay down his burdens and retire. The
Republican party wants men who will
labor in this cause because it is right, and
not because it is polite; and the deter
mined and positive manner in which it
has entered upon the contest in the States
above-named, and in the various sections
where conventions have been held in
other States, proves that the old spirit
with which the party fought rebellion and
slavery inspires it in the new cause; that
the old organization which rewarded the
soldier, liberated the captive, and gave
free homes to free men on the National
domain, is the one to which the people
must now turn for justice and relief. The
motto is: Purity at any cost; honesty at
whatever sacrifice; the will of the people
is the law of the land. Under this sign
the party goes forward to conquer in the
future as it has in the past.-ChicdgO

firmation Of your statement. You declare
in your letter to Judge Poland that when
you first heard of this 81 200 check (Which
was first presented to the committee, JAN
uary %, 1973) you were at the American
Legation at Paris, and told Mr.. WASH
burne at the time that you knew Colfax
never got that money. The New York
World, whose malignant perverslons and
falsifications in this matter have been as
brutal in their language as they have been
infamous in their spirit, determined to
dishonor you also, because you had dared
to tell the truth in matter in which you
had no interest whatever. II has there
fore, over and over again asserted that
your statement must be false because you
had been seen in Washington In my COM
pany at the time you said you were in
Paris. Knowing this to be falsehood,
as had not the slightest recollection of
having seen you at all for more than q
year, / wrote to Mr. Washburne; and, as
you will see, out of the mouths of two
witnesses-not only Mr. Washburne him
self, but his Secretary also-is your truth
doubly confirmed, and the lie of the World
newspaper doubly refuted.
Let me thank you personally for daring,
for the sake of truth and justice, to en-
counter all the vilification to which you
have been subjected. He who knoweth
all things, knows that l never received
from Oakes Ames any stock or bonds of
the Credit Mobilier or the Union Pacific
Railroad, nor any dividend thereon, in
cash or check or stock or bonds. And
consider it but little less than providen-
tial that you happened to see Mr.. Ames
himself draw the money on this very s.
@. or bearer" check, thus confirming Mr..
Dillon's testimony, but also that you
saw him pay the $1,000 he received at
the Sergcant-at-Arms' counter to stranger
who had been talking to him on New
Orleans matters. know this confrma-
tion of your statement against the asper-
sions of your calumniators will be graft

Letter from Mr.. COIrax.
[From the Providence Journal. ]

lFrom the Providence Journal
THERE has been an unusual malignity
in the attack upon Mr.. Colfax. Not con
tent with false charges against his good
name, his enemies have turned upon those
who have adduced facts in his defense. 1t
seems that, in their determination to crush
him, they have resolved to overwhelm
every man who dared to defend him. The
manly course of Mr.. Drew excited their
special vindictiveness, and they endeavor-
ed to destroy his reputation because he
had interposed in defense of Mr.. ColfaX
The following letter, in confirmation of
Mr.. Drew's statement is timely, and its
publication eminently proper:
