THE CoNcLusION OF THE MESSAGE.

The concluding portions of the Governors
Message are, we regret to say, exclusively de-
voted to political essay-writing. The most Of
the theories and arguments contained therein
were part OF the issues in the last campaign, and
the Governors views received an emphatic ad-
verse decision, this very State Of Delaware con-
dsmning them by large majority.
Instead of considering the multitude of State
questions that now demand attention, after long
years of carelessness and neglect. the Governor
wastes his opportunity with this stale and unprof-
liable screed Instead of seeking to assist the Leg
slature in the proper investigation of the propo-
sitions for change which are pressed upon it, he
iniicts upon us the resentment he feels toward
the Constitutional Amendments, and his plans
for thwarting their purpose. With one single
exception-the recommendation to repeal at
tachment laws-he avoids overlooks, or infer
entally condemns, all the many measures OF
Reform which the people ask, and their condition
omphatically demands. They may have looked
perhaps they did MOTTO the Governor OF
I 20 State, for word in their behalf, but instead
of realizing the needs Of his State and suggesting
however imperfectly, his views as to the proper
measures 6f supplying them he tells us that col
ored men ought not to vote, that their enfrau-
ehiaement was q rank foly,soo to be corrected,
and proposes elaborate schemes for further
undermining the exercise Of their right to vote
He has not heard, apparently, of Equal Repre-
septation he has no bowels Of compassion that
suggest to him an Exemption Law or Stay
Law he has never heard Of the necessity for
modifying the Usury penalties he does not
know that there is no sufficient Public Education
even for white children, and none at all for
colored ; he is not aware OF the need for gen
eral incorporation system he has no opinion
upon the necessity for constitutional Oonven-
ton tall these important measures, and the
many others, now discussed by the people, you
do not find in his message, but instead OF them,
his plans to enable the Levy Courts to rob the
colored voters of their rights,w impunity, and
his sympathy with offenders convicted in the
Courts of the United States !
Whether it is worth while to review at length
the Governors political diatribe, may be here
after considered. For the present, we emphati-
cally declare that never did people needing and
praying for bread, receive more indigestible
stone

world-renowned flower, forget-me-not,

as possible they were put In a soup
plate filled with rain water The flow
ers were placed near the window. In
a surprisingly short space of time white
thread-llke roots were emitted from the
portion of the flower stalks in the
water, and they ultimately formed a
thick network over the plate. The
flowers remained quite fresh, excepting
few of the most advanced, when gath

run IN the water, the buds began to ex-
pand, to take the place of those which
faded, and up to the middle of Novem-

The Paris market is regularly sup
piled with American oysters in the
shell from the Chesapeake Bay. The
importation of oysters from Norfolk
commenced couple of years ago, and
it has been so successful that two new
companies have been formed to carry
on large export trade in this article
of food. Artificial beds for their re-
ception have been prepared on the Nor
mandy coast, and number of vessels
have been especially constructed for
the trade, combining speed and large
tonnage capacity. Large oyster parks
for their planting have also been con
structed at lie Croisle, on the Atlantic
Ocean, for the storing of these ship
ments on their arrival in France Some
of the earlier arrivals are already il

far In advance of that obtained for the

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Fried Potatoes

The name Fried Potatoes of course
means potatoes that are fried, but how
dlfferent the article in different places.
Inc elements, sol to speak, potatoes and
lard, are the same everywhere, but in
one case we get fat-soaken slice and
at another real delicacy. Certain
hotels and restaurants make special
lty OF fried potatoes. and every one
has heard of Moons Saratoga potatoes
that are eaten as luxury as one
would eat popcorn or bon-bons. The
Saratoga and other fried potatoes are
apparently without grease, with a
crisp surface, a mealy interior, and
aieogether delicious. "Why can't we
have such z" askes Paterfamilias when
he returns from the city or Watering
place. The good wife might answer
that he might have just such if he
would go to the trouble and expense.
The first essential is to have the
potatoes all sliced of an even thickness.
This IN large establishments Is accom-
phshed by means of an apparatus in
which board has a knife fastened In
1t after the manner of a sour krout cut
ter or dried beef slcer, the edge of the
knife placed far enough above the level
OF the board to give the required thick
ness. The peeled potatoes are put in a
frame which slides back and forth over
the knife, and this has a follower to
keep the potatoes in place By means
OF this large quantity can be sliced
and with the greatest uniformity. The
next requisite is kettle with an abund-
ance of very hot lard, and the next
wire cage The sliced potatoes are plac-
cd III the cage, pumped into the lard,
and at the proper instant, which can
only be learned by experience, they by
means OF the cage are all withdrawn at
once. A few shakes free them from ali
adhering fat, and if the operation is
properly done the potatoes may be
served on napkin without greasing it.
All these are necessary In order to have
fried potatoes to perfection.
We have had satisfactory results
from carefully slcing the potatoes with
knife and letting them fall into ice
water; taking out Il handful at time,
putting them into a towel, and giving
them few jerks to dry them, and then
popping them into fat, from which as
soon as done were removed by large
skinner. Then another portion was
done. The use Of ice-water tends
greatly to preserve the crispness. The
restaurant of Madame Mouquin in New
York city is great resort for artists,
and the Madame Is celebrated for her
fried potatoes which, probably in def
ference to the artistic taste of her Wis
ltors, she serves in an elegantly crimp-
ed form. OF course great excellence
IN this as IN many other methods is
done upon large scale, but by taking
proper pains the home made article
can be greatly improved. -American

By which we mean plants with varie
gated leaves, will run back to the nat
ural state, and IN propagatlng cuttings
should be taken from these in which
the marking is most distinct. The
variegated Snowberry (Symph1 lear
OuS rdceH3OS1ls) Is a very pretty orna-
mental shrub; but it each season pro
duces some branches upon which the
marking is indistinct, and others with
leaves entirely green. So with the var
iegated Ivy-leaved Geraniums, Traden-
cantia, and other plants. 1t is we'll to
remove those green shoots as they APP
pear, as by their greater vigor they
will rob the variegated branches of their

able to choose well-marked shoots for
making cuttings, it is not well to take
those i'll which the white or light mark
