Citron Preserves.

Prepare the rind cut into any form your
fancy may dictate; boil very hard in alum
water thirty or forty minutes. The alum
water should be pretty strong. On taking
the pieces from the alum water put them into
clear, cold water, and allow them to stand
twelve hours. In the morning change the
water for fresh and put them on to boil. Let
them cook until they have entirely changed
color and are quite soft; then make your
syrup, allowing one and half pounds of loaf
sugar for every pound of citron. Add your
citron to the syrup and cook few minutes
but little cooking is necessary. Flavor with
lemon, or any spice that suits you.
Excellent watermelon preserves may be
made on the same receipe-they arc very lit
tie if any inferior to citron. OF course it is
understood that only the rind with tho outer
skin peeled off. can be used.
The same recipe, with slight variation,
also makes good apple preserves. Peel and
core the apples cutting them in halves or
quarters, as you like. Make syrun of sugar.
using. three>fourths of pound for every
pound of fruit. When the syrup is boiling
hot put the apples in and let stand without
further heating about twelve hours. This is
to toughen and prevent their falling to pieces.
Next. boil over slow fire until the fruit is
cooked through aud through then put away
in jars. With syrup made of loaf sugar this
turns out very pretty preserve.
Peach preserves may be made on precisely
the same receipe-clings need not be soaked
in the syrup, as there is no danger of their
falling to pieces.

a LYNCH LAW SpEEcu.-At a gathering
Of farmers clubs at Winchester. Scott 'coun.
ty, Illinois, on the 7th instant, SIN. Smith,
Secretary of the State Farmers Association,
made rather remarkable speech, in the
course of which he denounced the corruption
and fraud of the present political parties, and
prophesied that the day would come, if there
was no other way left, and if the farmers
were swindled and hoodwinked as they had
been, .ha. he and his boys and thousands of
other farmers and their boys would have to
ride some of these villains out of the State
capitals on rails, and that many tree IN
broad America would bear human fruit Ho
thought remedy could be found, but if 8
remedy could not be found, anarchy and
bloodshed might follow.

pick them up. In doing so I stumbled

Political Notes,

The Butler gubernatorial campaign has
opened in Massachusetts by the organiza-
ton of a Butler Club in Ward 2, Boston.
The movement is made without distinction
of party, in favor of the liquor interest as ex-
planned by one of the fuglemen.
The New York Herald asks: ''Now that
the Democratic free traders propose to read
the protectionists out of the party, suppose
the protectionists should conclude TO read the
free traders out? Where will your DEM
ocratc party be then?''
The Ohio Liberal wants the name of the
Democratic party abandoned because of its
disloyal associations.

MI na41ona Water Company.

We learn that the petition OF the Portland
Water Company for aid to enable IL TO get ln-
to sound financial condition will be present
ed to the City Counnil tonight. The petit
tion is signed by large number of our lead
inc tax-payers, and sets forth the merits and
embarrassments of the Company at length.
1t says in the completion of the work thus
far, which has afforded the city the most am
pie protection from fire, the Company has in
Cured funded debt of $4,000, and float
ing debt of between $4,000 and 5000. 900. in
addition to the amount paid in for stock;
which is not stated. The Company has laid
twenty five miles of pipe and is extending its
means of supply to differeat parts of the city.
The Company is supplying with water free Oh
cost all the public and charitable institutions
in the city, and has greatly aided in lntrodac-
ing manufactures, and in all material Respects
been of incalculable benefit to the city. Al
though the receipts of the Company have in
increased largely every year and promises to
increase at a greater ratio in the next few
wears if the company shall be enabled TO ex.
tend its works. it has not been able to pay the
interest on its bonded and floating debt, and
running expenses. In order to enable it to
extend its works to every part of the city
without embarrassment, the officers of the
Company ask such aid from the city for few
years as the Importance of the enterprise
merits.
The Company do not ask the city for any
specified sum, but after full hearing of the
merits Of the case, expect to be able to show
that their prayer will merit the favorable &C
ton of the City Council.
The matter of securing pure water to all
parts of the city Is one of so great Importance
to every citizen that there can be no doubt
but what such aid as prudence demands to
secure so desirable an object, will be extend
ed, if, after full hearing, it shall appear that
the management of the affairs of the COM
pany warrant its encouragement
