ONE-LEGGED PANTS AND CAVALRY
BOOTS.
r New York SUM-

ANo" 4Olh
a one-legged soldier walking up the
Bowery yesterday WAS accosted by II
clothing merchant with the usual "Sell
you something's to-day?" Entering the
store the veteran was invited to inspect
the large stock, but having looked
through the array of coats and vests
and trousers, he turned to go, saying
that he saw nothing there that would
suit him.
"Vell, vat you wants ?"
81 want IA pair of one-legged pants"
"Vos dat all? Yacob, bring me one
of dem one-legged gray pants on dot
pile in the corner"
In few minutes Jacob returned
and reported that the last pair had
been sold.
Meanwhile the partner next door,
who had been listening through the
thin partition, had mapped out II plan
of campaign against the one.lcggcd
cripple. "Yohn," he whispered to an
attendant, scut me off dc leg of one of
dem gray pants. Send him up quick"
BY the time this had been done the
soldier had hobbled out Of the first
store only to be inveigled into the
second. Again he went through the
inspection Of odds and ends, and again
demanded one-legged trousers, intimat-
ing that he didn't believe the trader
had them.
"Not hat one.legged pants! Fadder
Moses, vat you takes mo for: Hohn,
bring me one OF dem One-leggcd gray
pants in dot pile in de back of dc
sthOre."
The newly altered trousers were pro-
duced, and the waggish soldier gave
himself up rs lost. But as he spread
them before him he became conscious,
as did the dealer, of something wrong.
"Mein Gott! Fadder Abraham !
Yohn, you hat ruin me! You hat cut
Off de wrong leg"
Another of the Chatham street dealers
had what he called army brogans and
cavalry boots. An cX-soldier purchased
a pair of the latter one rainy day, but
returned to the store within a few min
utes, complaining that the soles were
of pasteboard and had already soaked
into a pulp.
"Vot you vas done nit dem boots?"
asked the dealer.
"Why, walked two or three blocks.'
"Valk! You walk in dem boots
w, dem was cavalry boots! !"

Z CANNING FRUIT.

rsouthern Cultivator for Augusta
TT ia useless to hope for success IN
canning operations unless the fruit or
vegetable is put In the can bost'ng not.
Iimagine disappointment arises oftener
from failure on this point than any
Ter. 1 have heard housekeepers VINO
Ee taken much trouble, and, as they
s,IDpoyed. great care to secure fruits anu
vegetables for the winter, exciaim in
their Disappointment, 81 have done
with scanning-i its humbug!" On
questioning them as to their mode 1
found all right until l reached THIS
point: "Were you careful to put thefn
In the can boiling hot ?" "Why, no."
was the reply, "not absolutely boiling,
or should have broken the can"
Now, there was the whole secret OF the
failure. They should have been put in
I" absolutely boiling;" and the can
would not have been broken, if properly
prepared. Glass can be heated, by de-
crees. till it will bear without risk, any
thing boiling. All that is necessary, IS
to put the cans under and around the
stove while the fruit is cooking, and, as
they heat, move them to hotter and
still hotter place, till they become too
heated to hold with the bare hand
then try them with a little boiling
water, quickly shaken round and pour
ed out :; then fill with boiling water,
pour, it out, and Immediately put in
the boiling fruit and seal up quickly.
Remove to a cool, dark place. The old
adage, eff you would have business
we'll done, do it YOURSELF" applies for
chilly to canning. There are few ser
vants-,ao,,e that have met-who are
sufficiently careful to be entrusted with
it. If, then, housekeeper has not the
time, inclination or strength, to attend
to it from beginning to end, she had
better not undertake it, as she will, in
all probability, be doomed to disap-
pOfntment.
TO CAN TOMATOES.
Remove the skins by pouring boiling
water over the tomatoes. Drain off as
much of the liquid as possible, then put
into the kettle and heat slowly till they
boil. Let them boil ten or fifteen min
utes take out the tomatoes, leaving
the liquid behind. Pour them into the
cans (Which should be CLASSY boiling
hot, and seal up Immediately. Keep
in a cool, dark place.
There is no vegetable that pays for
the canning like this. The tomato, if
properly prepared, will keep perfectly,
and when warmed over and seasoned,
is relished quite as we'll as if just from
the vine, and is such al addition to
winter soups, and so much to be priced
in the early spring, before the appear
ance of vegetables.

Just as she was about to take the seat
he offered her in the street car, she said
snappishly: "If there We're any gentle
men in. the car they would not allow II
lady to so the length of it before giving
her a seat" Then the brutal man slid
quickly back to his seat and quietly
remarked: "I think the ladies are all
seated" This was followed by an aud
ible smile from several male tyrants in
the car, and the lady (?) making Il
frantic plunge for the bell-strap, was
soon ushered into the street, temper
and all.-N Y. Mail.

That Mysterious Robbery.

The following is the conclusion to
which the Meadville Republican comes
in regard to the Conneautville Bank
robbery, after publishing the evidence
in the case, taken before the U. S. Com
missioner, at Erie: .
1t will be seen that Mr.. Williams,
charged with embezzlement of the
funds Of this bank, has been boun in
the SUM Of $4,000 to appear at the
next United States Court, at Erie,
next July. Though the evidence is
long, and has been carefully CLEANED,
it is unsatisfactory as matter of di,
rect proof of guilt. Though not con-
victing, yet the evidence is damaging
to Mr.. Williams, The testimony Of
5. b. Benson, U. S. Detective. was the
only evidence which pointed directly
at crime on the part of the cashier,
and even this only went go far as to
show that there we're persons under
surveillance, with warrants for arrest
constantly at their elbows, who, when
dragged before the court, may make
the mystery OF this strange Robbery as
plain as day.
Aside from the crime of the affair,
the evidence discloses a carelessness of
management on the part Of officers
and directors which must be perfectly
appalling to depositors. When pat
rons could get no favors of any des-
cription, persons connected with the
bank we're using it's funds with lavish
hands. Balances in other banks stood
against the Bank of Conneautville, OF
which no trace could be found in the
books of the latter. Accounts with
solAe banks had not been balanced fol
; more than year. Individual accounts
ran loosely on. no one knowing how
they stood. The accounts of the Pow
er Bros. was oyerdrawn $4,000. IL

Lieutenant Governor.

We clip the following in regard to
the Lieutenant Governorship, from
the Warren Maa of last week.
Our new Constitution makes the
election of Lieutenant Governor
necessary in November next. Who
that man shall be, is already a cues.
tion among the politicians of both
parties. That be should be man OF
influence, ability and high character
sufficient to FIJI the gubernatorial
chair creditably in case ola vacancy,
is considered by all. That he should
come directly from the people repre-
senting them in the largest sense, is
also essential because his active duties
are mainly to preside over the Senate
composed Of both political parties and
coming from all quarters and all classes
of our great State now almost an en-
pire in itself.
While conceding the fitness of sew
eral gentlemen, we know of no one
better fitted for the place or better
calculated to add a strength to our
ticket, than our old Congressman
Hon. John Patton, of Clearfield coun-
ty. He represented the old 10th Dis
trict two years in congress most ac-
ceptably and faithfully and declined
denomination. He is a gentleman
in the truest sense Of the word of prac-
tical ability, high character, unsullied
integrity and great popularity wherev-
er he is known. Though sound Re.
publican and true as steel 30 the party
aud the Country in every emergency,
he is not offensive or bitter in his
prejudices, and possesses that gentle.
manly dignity and suavity of manner,
promptness in decision and general
fairness essential in a successful PIE.
siding officer. Living in that Demo
cratic sronghold, Clearfeld County,
he has of course not been in the line
of local official promotion. But he
has done much as a hard worker to
sustain our Organization and strength
en- the combinations which bid fair TO
captuye even that stronghold of the
enemy, and it is fitting that such men
should be recognized in State nomina-
tions.
We do not know that Gen. Patton
desires this nomination. We are very
sure that he will not .unduly push his
own claims for this or any other Office.
He believes in the good old doctrine
that "the Office should seek the man."
and this is good time to reinauger-
ate that doctrine especially for high
Office hitherto unknown in the State.
He is in no way mixed up with the
conflicting cliques in our organization.
He has no doubtful or blotted record
in public life. He has 70 enemies TO
punish and would therefore be the
better fitted for place which requires
complete impartiality and fairness to-
ward all. ......
When our party more than dozen
years ago needed candidate of great
energy, zeal and liberality to perfect
our organization and carry the 10Th
District, he responded promptly to the
call and took the doubtful chances.
Having conquered success and served
US faithfully he voluntarily retired.
We trust the old District and the whole
Northwest will show proper appreci-
alton Of his services by insisting that
he shall step again to the front and
again take the post of well-earned
honor in the van of a party which
knows how to reward a faithful and
honest public servant.
