dry, and fried this, make il delightful
accompaniment to steaks and relishes.
This cold weather we cnn take more
carbon in the shape of fat into our
stomachs, with happy results, than in
the unlme season. Now, if ever, is
the season of doughnuts, m~incemeat,

Three hours or more arc required for a

a little water over it a few times.
Turkeys can be roasted in this way
much nicer than to boil them first as

APPLE JE1LY:-Take golden pippins,
pare, core, and quarter them, and boil
in water enough to cover them, until
quite soft. Then turn into a flannel
jelly-bag, and let the juice run out
without squeezing at all. The jelly
bag is made like an enormous funnel,
with a short nose, and sewed up in one
seam. Take a square of flannel, and
double oyer in two points, lapring it in
the middle, and you will see how it is
done. Tie this bag by fastening tapes
to each sides of it, to chairs, and let
the juice run into a dish. To one pint

and boil for twenty minutes. Then
turn into jelly cups. Add sugar to the
jam, and boil for marmalade.

IL art-IiUr

Among the pleasant episo1es which
may occur i'll the career of a warm.
hearted Englishman is that of Mr..
George Henry Wildes as being of par.
ticular interest. Having been once
married, and not finding his domestic
tie to his liking, he rudely broke it by
divorce, aud some time thereafter
meeting Miss Nuttall, a fascinating
young lady Of twenty two, he was not
slow in assuring her that he lived for
her alone. Miss Nuttall believed this,
and was happy in the belief, as her
darling George told her that he had an
income Of about seven thousand dol.
lars a year. The usually burning epls.
ties were written. Suddenly one fine
morning the sutton met his divorced
wife again, WAS enchanted by her ap-
pearance fell n love with her q second
time and fastened away to have sue
nuptial knot retied. Miss Nuttall was
duly informed Of this melancholy pro
teeding, and she notified her solicitor,
who began an action for breach OF
promise against twice married George.
and the jury found that Miss Nuttali
has suffered to the extent of fifteen
thousand dollars. Moral-Divorccs
are better in the observance than the
breach.

IT is said that there is a movement
on foot among the congressman from
the south and west for Il convention TO
be held at st. Louis next fall, to take
into consideration the material ques-
tions affecting those sections. The call
for the convention will state that its
objects are to consider the questions OF
tariff, cheap transportation, and the
Improvement of the Mississippi levees.
This is intended to be II movement
outside and independent of New En-
gland and New York, which is becom.
ing to be regarded by the south and
west as antagonistic to their interests.
IL is not to be expected any legis-
lation will be devised at this session
which will meet the demands of the
country on these questions, and they
propose to make ample preparation for
the next session Of congress. IL Is
held by these gentlemen that neither
New York nor New England has any
interest in them, unless it be to loan
them capital, for which, as they allege,
they demand a high rate OF interest.
To use their own phrase, they propose
to devise means to take care OF them
selves. In this movement republicans
ana democrats are alike uIllteuy anu ~
is not improbable that before the close
of the present session call will be is
sued for the meeting of this convention.
1t is intended to have an effect upon
the political canvas next fall, and will
meet some time before the November
elections. The movement is an inn
portant one and the wonder is that it
has been so long delayed. Federal leg
islation has been controlled by the
eastern states for the past fifty years to
the great damage of the west and south,
which have been oppressed and plum
dered though they have the power to
relieve themselves. What the west and
south need is organization, and should
the movement ultimately secure this,
the proposed convention may justly be
regarded as the most benificent that has
assembled in this country during the
present century. Sympathy for op"
pressed weakness is a noble emotion,
but no people deserve or will receive it
who have the power to protect them
selves and fail to do so.-[Courier-Jour-
nal,

How strange IL Is that since the peo-
pie of this state have recovered 'he
right of self government and elected

there are no longer amy lying reports
published of Democrats burning negro
school houses and churches. Even the
most brazen- faced and impudcnl of all
the mercenary clan who afflicted Us

hardihood to continue his work of
slander on the people. That last great
black yarn he published charging the
kukluX democracyo Dallqswith setting
fire to the only house the colo:ed
brothers had for school and worship in
our town, seems to have exhausted his
resources in the art. The darkies have
learned that with democrats in power
they are better protected andless taxed
in time and money, that when the

instruction and collecting the fraternal
contributions. The old dariies say
they save more money now and have
less trouble than when the saints were

AMONG the sundry derelictions of the

AMONG the sundry derelictions OF the
fourteenth legislature, some of its
members, in due time, will hear a
squall on the mileage question. Why
should the mileage of the fourteenth
be five thousand dollars greater than
any previous legislature? Answer
A screw loose. Why should a senator
and q representative from the same
county, living in sight of each other,
draw the one, two hundred and one
dollars, and the other only one hun
dred and eight dollars? Answer-A
screw loose.
Why should four and six years
senator vote against constitutional
convention, and a two years man
vote for one? Answer-The screws
still out of joint.
The screws are loose, and the way to
place them all right is to clear away
the splinters and let the people see
who loosened them. We shall do our
part at odd times, hoping that next
time the sovereigns may be more for
tunate in selecting their law makers.
