To REMOVE DANDRUFF:-Into a
quart OF water put an ounce Of -four of
sulphur and shake frequently for sever
al hours; then pour off the clear liquid,
and with this saturate the head every
morning. In few weeks every trace
Of dandruff will disappear and tho hair
become soft and glossy.
ICED APpLEs.- Pare, core and slice
apples of large tart kind. Bake them
till nearly done. Put them away to get
entirely cold, then prepare some sugar
icing, and first pour off all the juice,
lay tho icing thickly OH the top and
sides as much a. you can. Return them
to the oven to just harden and set. Serve
with cream.
To IRON VELVET RIBBON --Dampen
the underside slightly, and draw it back
and forth over hot stove-pipe until
the velvet is quite dry. A still better
plan--though in winter it is not always
convenient-is to lay wet piece Of
cotton cloth on hot fat-iron placed
upside down, and while the steam is
rising from it draw the underside OF the
velvet lightly backward and forward
over the wet cloth.
CHICKEN PANADA.-Boil a chicken
till about three parts cooked. take off
the skin, cut the meat whom cold, and
pound 1t In q mortar with little Of the
water 1t was boiled in, season with salt,
nutmeg, and lemon peel to taste. Boil
this few minutes to the consistency
you like ut should be tolerably thick,
but such as you can drink J.. This con-
veys great nourishment in small COM
pass. n

The Piutes--principally the squaws
ARE daily Enthusiastically at work in
the burnt district, gathering fuel. All
the charred remains of timbers and
planks are considered by them as their
parts of the spoils. AS they have no
fuel except the little they are able to
pick up about the city,the fire was
regular windfall to them. The loads
of blackened timbers that some of the
squaws staggered Of to the hills under
are such as would break the heart, if
not the back, of full grown-donkcy.
On top Of sucha load is frequently
to be seen stout papoose, strapped to
its cradle and laid with its face turned
up to the sun. The weight Of wood,
paposes and all comes upon cord
passing across the bearers forehead.
The burnt district will afford the In
dams a productive field for fuel for a
long time to come. Not only will they
find mach charred wood, but they win
manage to secure fuel in the shape of
chips and blocks when building is being
done. The Chinese are also very in
dustIious cleaners, and are sweeping
the ruins in their neighborho0d for all
that can be used as fuel.

A Funeral stopped.

BosToN, Dec. 1.-The funeral of
Grace G.. Bachelor, daughter OF Nathan
A. and Caroline G.. Bachelor, took
place at three o'clock yesterday after
noon at No. 0 Gardner street, Salem.
This child died, as is supposed, of slow
fever last Friday. But since that time
the whole body has remained in an I'M
changed state, being not the least cold
or rigid.
The services en- led, most of the
mourners were seated in the carriage to
60 to the grave, j. II. Allen, the un-
dertaker was about to fasten down the
coffin lid, when lady told them that
she saw the child's eyes move, and,
consequently, it could not be dead.
Mr.. Allen examined the body, and
slough he gave it as his opinion that
the child was dead, yet it having a per-
fectly life-like appearance, lacking only
motion, he thought best to go no further,
and the body still remains unburied.
On the cheeks are two bright red spots,
and from all appearances one would say
the child was asleep. Further dsvel-
epments are awaited with much ankle.
ty. The child is 8 years and eleven
months of age.

Better Than Nothing.

A good old Methodist lady very
particular and very pious, once
kept boarding house in Boston.
Staunch to her pricipels,she would
take no one to board who did not
hold to the eternal punishment Of
a large portion of the race. But
the people were more intent on
carnal comforts than spiritual
health, sc that in time her house
became empty, much to her grief,
and alarm.
After some time bluff old sea
captain knocked at the door, and
the old lady answered the call.
Servant, ma'am. Can you give
me board for two or three days ?
Got my ship here, and shall be of
soon as | load"
wal I don't know said the
old lady.
oh, house full, eh?'
NO, but
But what, ma'am p
Il don't take any unclean or car
nal people in my house. What do
you believe ?"
"About what ?"
why, do you believe that any
one will be condemned p
oh, thunder f! yes"
DO you p said the good old wo-
men, Frightening up. We'll, how
many souls do you think will be
In the fire eternally ?"
Don't known, ma'am, really-I
never calculated that
Can't you guGss?"
Can't say-perhaps fifty thous-
and
'Wa'al, hem = unused the good
women II guess I'll take you, fifty
thousand is better than noahing.'

The Fireplace.

How can a person be attached
to home that has no center of at
traction, no soul in it in the visible
form ofa glowing fire, and a warm
chimney like the heart in the
body? When you think of the old
homestead, if you ever do, your
thoughts go straight 10 the wide
chimney and its burning logs.
No wonder you are ready to move
from one fire-placeless home into
another. This age, which initiates
everything, even to the virtues Of
our ancestors, has invented a fire.
place with artificial iron or COM
position logs in it, hacked and
painted, in which gas is burned
so that it has the appearance of a
wood fire. This seems to be bias
phemy. DO you think a cat
would lie down before it? Can
you poke ii? If you can't poke it,
it is fraud. To poke a wood fire
is more solid enjoyment than al
most anything else in the world.
The browning human virtue in a
man is to let his wife poke the
fire.
If a wood fire is a luxury it is
cheaper than many things in
which we indulge without thought
and cheaper than the visits of a
doctor, made necessary by the
want of ventilation in the house.
Not that l have anything against
doctors; only wish after they
have been to see us in a way that
seems friendly they had nothing
against u.s. Wdrner.

The Maine Democracy.

AUGUSTA, June 22.-The Demo-
cratic State Convention met to-day.
There were present six hundred and
thirty-nine delegates. Gen. Samuel
j. Anderson was chosen permanent
chairman and committees appointed.
In the afternoon session, resolutions
were read and adopted, embodying the
following declarations
The Constitution is the people s
only safeguard; the rights of the peo-
pie and the States must be sacredly
preserved from the touch of military
or Congressional usurpation; civil
supremacy in times of peace; equality
of rights for all men; a sound curren-
cy, coin or its equivalent; o tariff for
revenue only; the Government eco
nomically administered; an honest
preservation of The public faith to
public creditors; a return to economy
in the administration of government
National, State and municipal; the
abolition of unnecessary Offices and
the reduction of salaries; one term for
the President, with a salary of $25, 900.
The resolutions arraign the Repub-
lican party for its abandonment of
principles, proAiga.y and corruption !;
condemn the administration in strong
terms for the responsibility of the
louisiana usurpatiOn and attempt to
suspend the writ Of habeas corpus by
the last Congress. and pronouncing it
no longer safe to trust the reins Of
Government in such hands. The ad-
ministration is pronounced response
BILE for the present depressed condi-
ton of the countrys commerce, for
the crippling of the ship-Luilding
trade and for the driving Of the Amer
lean mercantile marine from the ocean.
The,people of Main, suffering under
the burden of oppressive taxation,
demand reform and appeal to all men
without regard to party names or past
differences, to unite with them to Sc
cure this triumph.
An effort made to incorporate the
financial resolutions of the Ohio Dem
ocratic convention, failed.
Gen. Chas. w. Roberts, of Bangor,
was nominated for Governor, and the
convention adjourned.

The Hot Springs (Ark.) Democrat,
of late date, speaks thusly:

The printer, as well as others, feel
the result of this sending off for cheap
articles. Some of our business men.
because they can get bill heads and
other work done a little cheaper
abroad than Hot Springs printers, pay
ing home prices for all they get, can do
it, send off for their work, and it leaves
the printer without living; and yet
he must toll for the peoples good
Whether he can pay for new hat once
q year or not, he must set there and
put up type for a putting editor who
wants to tell, or tells it whether be
wants to or not, how cheap some mer-
chant is selling goods, who don't ad-
vertise nor have his work done at
home.
We have heard the printers say hard
words about such men, and there is no
wonder typographical errors some
times occur in such cases. aud we
would not blame them to put in an in
dex finger pointing to. st. Louis as a
cheaper place for Hot Springs printers
to buy boots and shoes. Such things
ought not to be-and we would all be
prosperous if we would study each
others mutual interests.

CHOICE WHEAT.-Mr. II. 3. Hutch
ison, who is cultivating the Bailey
farm on the west side of Cumberland
river, handed us specimen of his
wheat this week. 1t is the variety
called white wheat, the grains being
very large and fat. Mr.. III. has about
twelve acres that will return him a
handsome yield of extra wheat. He
has, for his force, all he can attend to
in cuitivating corn, tobacco, wheat
and watermelons. He is an indefati-
gable worker, and we hope he may re-
alize good returns from his crops this
year, ms his watermelon crop last year
which was very fne-was his prin-
cipal income. As untiring industry is
nearly always rewarded, we think he
will come in for a full share this
season.

Hogs,

The indications are that even with a
bountiful corn crop, prices of pork
during the next year must rule very
high. The scarcity during the present
year has very largely decreased the
number of hogs in the west. Every.
thing in hog-skin which could be put
into passable condition has been
slaughtered and pushed into market
and the supply Of stock hogs is not d
large one. The number of hogs in the
country last January is estimated by
the Department of Agriculture tC
have been 17,245, 700, while in Jauu'
airy, 1874, it was -, 927 600, and in Jan
uary, 1872, q, l93, 300 decrease il two
years of nearly 100000.
