The Second District.

All Tue towns IN the second district held
caucuses on Saturday afternoon at four
o'clock, and the indications are that Judge
Poland has carried majority of from
twenty-five to thirty of the 1872 delegates
elected. The opposition to him appears to
be about evenly divided between Col.
Mead and Mr.. Denison
In Caledonia County he carried St.
Johnsbury by Il vote Of about 100 to 100,
Bsrnet, Danville, Groton, Hardwick, Kir-
by. Newark, Peacham, Ryegate, Sheffield
and Wheolock. Stannard is yet to hear
from. Lyndon, Burke, Sutton, Walden
and Waterford went against him. Twenty
one Poland, seven against him, and one to
hear from.
In Orange County Judge Poland carries
Bradford, Fairlee, West Fairlee, Thetford,
Vershire. Topsham, Orange, one delegate
in Washington, Williamstown, Randolph,
Tunbridge. The towns of Brookfield,
Braintree, Chelsea, Newbury. and one del
egate from Washington are against him.
Corinth and Stanford to hear from. Nine
teen Poland, ten against him, and four to
hear from. The vote in Newbury was "A
lnti-Poland to so Poland.
In Windsor County, Weathersfield, Wind
sor, Hartland, Cavendish, and one Hartford
delegate are for Poland nine in all. The
rest of the county has gone against him, en-
cent tho Of Poch>-to,
from which we do not hear. In Royalton
Denison had AZ majority. In Windsor the
Poland ticket was beaten 40. In Pomfret
the vote was 80 Poland to SO against. In
Chester SO Denison, rs Poland, and six
scattering. Of Windsor's 40 delegates,

Norwich and Rochester when heard from,

Wlndham County is reported as solid fol
the Judge. The caucus in Brattleboro
was big one and hot one, and that in
Townshend was also large.
That RAIN.-It rained here violently
Friday night, as many happen to know,
but the fall of water was much greater
down country, and in fact all along the
Atlantic coast in New England and the
Middle States. In Springfield. Mass, two
inches of water fell. That at Providence
between Friday evening and O'Clock
Saturday afternoon, was 5.6S inches, and
considerable damage was done to the
streets. At New Haven it rained steadily
and powerfully most of the time from
9. Friday evening, till $50 P. NJ, Saturday,
and the fall was immense, amounting to
very nearly eleven inches, or about one
third OF the annual fall in that locality
Norwich, Ct. reports the wonderful
amount of twelve inches, the storm being
without parallel for years. The rivers
are very much swollen Boston Jared like
all the rest of the towns.

seems unlike yourself, and to have been
inspired by the same ill-advisers who had
SO lamentably carried your private affairs
thence before the public In reply let me
remind you that, during the whole of the
past four years, all the documents, notes
and memoranda which you and Mr.. Tilton
have entrusted to me, have been so entrust-
ed, because they had a reference to your
mutual differences. | hold no papers
either of yours or his, except such as bear
on this case. You speak of memoranda of
affairs not Immediately connected with
the Tilton matter. You probably allude
here to the memoranda of your difficulties
with Mr. Bowen, but these have direct
reference to your present case with Mr..
Tilton, and were deposited with me by you
because of such reference. You speak al
so of letter OF two from your sister, and
1 am sure you have not forgotten the APP
prehension which we entertained lest Mrs.
Hooker should fulfill design which she
foreshadowed, and invade your pulpit and
read to your congregation confession of
your intimacy with Mrs. Tilton. You
speak of other papers which l hold subject

I hold any subject to Mr.. Tilton's wishes.
The papers which hold, both yours and
his, were not given me to be subject to the
wishes of either party, but the very object
Of nv holding them has been, and still is,
to prevent the wish of one party from be-

You are incorrect in saying that Mr.. Til

Mr.. Tilton such access. During the prep

to me and said his case would be incom-

Boston FINANCEs.-The tax assessors
of Boston find its total valuation to be
1898, 755, $50, of which S554, POOLS is in
real estate, and S244 ,554, 800, personal
property; and the gain during the past
fiscal year has been s52,936,S37. The gain
is chiefly in real estate, the increase on
personal property being only S3,00O,0o0.
Eugene Lawrence writes in Harper S
Weekly:
1.-The war party in France employs in
private language what seems the extrava-
gance of bombast. Newspapers may be
cautiously silent, and ministers yielding
and submissive, but politicians ofthe cafe
and the clubs have no hesitation in con-.
Tossing the future policy of aggression
France, they assert, is gathering an army
that nothing in Europe can resist. All its
youth and manhood are to be converted
into soldiers. In some unguarded moment
they will strike Germany. The war will
be one of severity, and if they fail, Paris
shall be RACED to the ground and the name
of France be blotted out from among ma
tons"

\ STRANGER, about as broad through
the shoulders as table, was eating a
free lunch in a Randolph street saloon
yesterday, when three roughs came in
They seemed to take an antipathy to the
stranger at first sight, and it wasn't long
before one of them said he could lick any
man who ever wore red hair. The
stranger glanced over that way but said
nothing. And l can whip any man
with wart on his nose" said the second.
The stranger chewed away at his crackers
as If he didn't hear, and the third man
said; I'm just aching to knock the
head off some country galoot.' Even
that didn't move the stranger, and finally
one of the trio walked over to his table,
looked at him in contempt, and deliber-
ately spit on the strangers boot. He
waited to drink the last of his beer, and
then got up, gave himself shake, and he
knocked the roughs down one after the
other, striking with both fists, and strik
ing awful blows. He waited for them to
get up, and as they dropped into chairs
to analyze their feeling he quietly re
marked: How do you like it as far as
you've gomez" They hadn't word to
say, and he walked out.-Detrou Free

A Beggar's Revenge and Its Penalty.

\ JURY in a New York court lately
gave an exemplary verdict, which ought
to be a terror to child-stealers, who have
lately appeared to be on the increase all
over the country. A pinehed and tat
tered beggar had often called at
Mrs. Hoehl's for aims. One day she was
turned away empty handed and left the
house in a bad humor Little Minna
Hoehl, three years old, had lust gone
into the street to buy candy with some
pennies which her father had given her,
and did not come back and could not be
found. The next day Mary Sweeney was
arrested on a charge of larceny She
was in her howell at the time of the ar
rest, and the officer discovered three lit
tie children in her house She told the
officer that two of them were her own,
and the other was neighbor's. He did
not believe the story, arrested the
woman, and took the children with him to
the station. One of the children proved
to be Minna Hoehl, and she met her
father at the station looking for her
The other two children were not claimed,
but were taken care Of. Mary Sweeney
was acquitted on the charge of larceny,
and afterward arrested and tried for
child-stealing Mrs Hoehl identified her
as the beggar-woman who had been
turned away from her house on the day
that Minna Hoehl disappeared. She had
doubtless carried off Minna in revenge.
The jury gave her five years in the State
Prison

Pluck.

MENTION was made in the Chronicle of
the appointment by Congressman Page
of young Jimmy Glennon, of Oakland, to
a cadetship in the Naval School. Young
Glennon's school record has been won
derful. To show the enormous task the
boy has been performing al the univer
sity it may be interesting 10 state that as
long as there was grading offered the
boys to do around the grounds Glennon,
at the first hours in the morning, was
over from Almeda, about seven miles
distant. with his sleeves rolled up, and
with pick or shovel in hand, trying to
earn his twenty cents an hour alongside
of the brawny laborers. But the most
remarkable part was that when the bell
tapped for recitation in mathematics he
was promptly in his place with perfect
recitation 1t is considered remarkable
if IA student can get through a term per-
feet in either recitation or examination,
and but one or two in a class of sixty or
seventy ever do this but Glennon gen
orally came off perfect in both, and often
when the whole section failed on a diff
cult problem our hero would walk to the
board and solve it in twinkling. Again,
after recitations, James would be found,
with cheerful face and ready jokes at
command, trundling his wheelbarrow or
wheeling his homely implements among
the grading hands, whom he always
kept in jolly humor by his ready wit a
boy capable of doing all this is bound to
succeed in life-.San Francisco Chronicle

The Frozen Nose.

A FRENCH writer gives the following
account Of his first winters experience
in Russia:
My first days in Petersburg were very
pleasant. was never tired of looking
at the sleighs skimming gayly the smooth
surface of the snow-covered ground The
winter came on gradually, and though the
cold was intense-thanks TO my furs-I
did not feel it.
One day soon after my arrival l bun
died myself up carefully in my fur robes,
leaving no part exposed but my eyes and
nose, and started out for walk l en-.
joyed the bracing effects of the fresh air,
and did not feel cold anywhere Perhaps
| ought to say that my home is in the
South Of France, and this was my first
experience of the Northern climate
At first l passed along without attract
ing any attention, but after awhile l no.
ticed that the people met regarded me
with unusual interest. Presently, one OF
them in passing exclaimed, Moss" but
as did not understand one word of Rus
sian this made no impression on my
mind
A little while after sleigh, passing
rapidly with splendid pair of horses
stopped suddenly, and the driver cried
out, q Moss, noss.i"
Still had no idea Of what was meant
by this monosyllable, and continued my
walk had not gone far, however, be-
ore stout workman took hold Of me-
and, without asking my consent, com
menced rubbing my face with a handful
Of snow. ! was exceedingly indignant
at being treated thus unceremoniously
and gave the man a blow in his chest
which propelled him to distance of
several yards.
Just at this juncture two other work
men came up, and, taking hold of me by
the arms, tried to keep me quiet while
the first returned to the charge with a
handful of fresh snow and continued
rubbing my face. Truly" said to my
self, " this is strange country but l
did not relax my efforts to be free.
Meanwhile, military officer came up,
and, seeing | was a stranger, inquired in
French what was the matter. was ex-
pressing my Indignation to him at the

" You would have lost your nose, and
been disfigured for life
In that case, the man certainly de-
serves reward" replied, and, thank
ing the officer, ran after the workman.
He, however, judging from my former
behavior that | was coming to punish
him, took to his heels and sought to es-
cape. AS fear is fieeter than gratitude,
he would certainly have succeeded had
not the people in the street, thinking
him thief whom l was pursuing, put a
stop to his career.

preservation of which was desirable for

transparencies may be hung before the

Where the side lights are each of only a

PINEAPPLE PREsERvE.-Slice the pine
apple rather thinner to preserve than TO
eat, and take one pound of loaf sugar to
one pound of fruit; powder the sugar
and place in the kettle alternately layer
of sugar and layer of fruit To
each pound of fruit put three table
spoonfuls of water Let it remain over
a slow fire until the sugar is all melted,
then boil slowly until the fruit looks
clear; take out the fruit piece by piece
and lay them on dish, until the strip is
boiled nearly to jelly. Put the fruit
in jars, and pour on the strip hot. Cover
the jars carefully with paper which has
previously been dipped on both sides in
the white of an egg; this will secure their
keeping and preserve the flavor of the
pineapple. The addition of two or three
lemons may be considered an improve
ment.

HERE is japanese recipe for keep
ing meat fresh in hot weather: Place it
in clean porcelain bowl and pour very
hot water over it so as to cover it. Then
pour oil on the water. The air is thus
quite excluded and the meat is pre-
served.
WASHINGTON CAKE.-One-half cup but
ter, two cups sugar, four eggs, one cup
sweet milk, two teaspoons baking pow
der, three and one-half cups flour. This
cake is baked in three or four jelly tins,
with the following dressing put between
when cold: One lemon, crate the rind,
put it with the juice; add one egg and
one cup sugar, one tablespoon cold
water, stir until ii boils.
SWEET POTATO PUDDING-To large
sweet potato weighing two pounds allow
half pound of sugar, half pound of
butter, one gill of sweet cream, one
grated nutmeg, and little lemon peel
and four eggs; boil the potato until done,
mash up fine, and while hot add the
sugar and butter Set aside to cool while
you beat the eggs light, and add the
seasoning last. Line tin plates with puff
paste and pour in the mixture. Bake in

PLATE POLISHING PowDER.-The En-
glish Mechanic states that an excellent
preparation for polishing plate may be
made in the following manner: Mix to-
gether ozs. spirits of turpentine, 2 ozs.
spirits Of wine, OF. spirits Of camphor,
and ] OF. spirits of ammonia To this
add one pound of whiting, finely pow

preparation, with a clean sponge cover
the silver with it, SO IS to give it coat
like whitewash SJfhshe silver aside till
the paste has arin the - powder; then
brush it of, and fHssh with channels

by merely mixing spirits of wine and
whiting together.
PRESERVED PEARs.-Take small, rich,
fair fruit, as soon as the pips are black

Best Organs on Most Favorable Terms

Cabinet or Parlor Organs are capital
things for peddlers to work with, be-
cause very poor ones can be made at
half the co st of good ones, and few peo-
pie are competent to tell the difference
from first examination. Manufac-
turers print in their catalogues prices
which are three or four times as high as
the value of such cheap work. Then the
peddler starts out and puts them on the
people in various ways. He sells at an
enormous discount, if he can get cash !:
takes part trade if necessary, or leaves
the organ awhile on trial, and sells it on
long time at manufacturers price, ex-
hibiting the catalogue to show that it is
such, or even at discount from this,
which he can well afford.
The Mason & Hamlin Organ Co have
recently announced plan which is like
ly to interfere with this business This
company, as is well known, makes only
the best work, which, by its uniform ex-
cellence, has obtained the highest repu-
tation for their organs. They proved the
best, and obtained the highest awards at
the recent Vienna and Paris Worlds Ex-
positions, as they have uniformly done
in American industrial competitions.
The fact that these organs are the best
in the world is indeed too well estab-
lished to need further Endorsement.
The company have now added large
new factory to their former extensive
works, and design to greatly increase
their business. This they propose to do
by offering organs for time payments,
or for rent with privilege of purchase, at
barely sufficient advance on the cash
prices to afford a reasonable interest for
the time. An organ may be hired by the
quarter with privilege Of purchase at any
time in one year or longer. If purchased
within the year, the whole cost, including
rent paid, is only to 10 per cent. more
than if the cash had been paid down at
the beginning.
Persons having any idea of purchas-
ing will be wise to send q note to the
Mason & Hamlin Co., at either Boston,
New York or Chicago, and obtain their
new circulars, before purchasing.
