How to Fry Chicken.-The best Tried
chickens are thus prepared: The chick
ems are killed, scalded, picked and
washed out cleanly in water, then quar-
tered and thrown into boiling lard. In q
few minutes they are done brown and
are then to be removed and served up
hot and dry; not put into grease again.
In this way the fowl is "tender as
chicken" and is great delicacy. If you

Bean Porridge.-Parboil the beans
as if for baking; drain and put them in
the liquor. This needs the salt earlier
than the soup, and no flavor save the
beans. Boil until the beans become
broken and tender, and then add hulled
corn or Indian meal, or both. Stir in the
meal carefully, not to lump or get too
thick. When it is well cooked and sea
soned properly, take large spoon and
stir thoroughly together. You will have
a luscious dish, and "better when nine
days old" says the proverb. A slice of a
nice piece of pork is a relish in the above
dish-C0r Pacific Rural Press

GRAND PARADE OF THE OYSTER sHUcKERs PRO-

BALTIMORE, Oct g.
The oyster shuckers, white and black, mum
boring probably fifteen hundred or two thous-
and men, had a trade procession through the
streets, yesterday, to celebrate the settle
ment of the irdispute with the employing packers
in relation to the measure required for their
work. The amcable adjustment obviated a
strike.
Over one-third OF the procession was COM
posed Of colored men, and this cordial co-opera-
ton of both races causes much remark.
The Democrats are holding numerous meet
ings. At Belair, yesterday, Mr.. Carroll, Con-
gressman O'Brien and others spoke, and in this

SMASH UP OF AN Ice WAGoN.-Between twelve
and one o'clock to-day rs Pusey Il Rice's ice wa
gou was istsndng at Eighth and King streets,
the mules took fright and started down Eighth
at rapid rate. The first obstacle encountered
was the carriage of Huxley Harvey, standing in
front of his residence, the shafts of which were
broken. The mules then kept on to Eighth and
French, when in attempting to turn up the lat

wheels was left in the street. The mules kept
on up French until they were finally stopped

A DEMOCRATIC LIE EXPOSED.

For many weeks past, the Democratic
papers have been charging that Gen
Young, Republican candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor, had voted for the trait
or Vallandigham in 1868 Sam. Cary
began to repeat the lie, when Gen. Young
was written to, and here is the reply:
SEPTEMBER 16, 1875.
GEN: RoBT. P. KENNEDY:
M Dear SIR Your favor of the 18th
| inst is received, and has placed me un-
der obligations to you for calling my at
| tention to Gen. Cary s statement at w est
| Liberty, viz, that l voted for Vallandig-
ham in 1863
am not much surprised at hearing
this as coming from Gen. Cary, because it
is in unison with many other of his
statements.
When a man has to resort t. such an
infamous falsehood to injure the reputa-
ton of his opponent, it shows how des-
perate his cause is, the more so when he
knows it to be a falsehood when he ut
ters it.
In answer to this SANDER. assure you
on my honor as a man, that / never yot-
ed for Vallsndigham in my life for any
thing; that never, by word or pen en-
dorsed any of his reasonable sentiments
and that on the evening before the cleo
ton of 1868, l made a speech to a mass
meeting of Ohio soldiers at Loudon,
Tennessee, where we voted, denouncing
V N4llandigham as traitor, and urging
the election of that true and tried old
patriot, John Brough.
Any of my old comrades that served
with me-be they Democrats or Republi-
cans now, will bear testimony to the
truth of this statement, and the official
Records will show how voted. 1t pains
me to have to notice such mendacious
ISLANDERS from the mouth of a man who
never smelt gun powder during the great
struggle for the nations life, whose mer-
cenary patriotism found vent in soind
only, far away back in the rear, and who
has now, for the sake of little Office,
joined hands with party which during
the last three years of the war by its
outspoken sympathy with our enemies,
sought to destroy our country, and now.
ten years afterward is seeking to destroy
our National credit, and our cherished
system of common schools. Respectful
ly Yours, THos. L. YoUNG.

Last Words.

During this campaign we have refrain
ed from appealing to the base prejudices
of voters. We have not treated our
readers as if we regarded them
as fools, beggars, or rascals, who
could vote the money or prop
erty of other men into their pockets
without honestly learning it.
During the war, there were between
two and three thousand men in the army
from jackson county. Many of these
were boys, who had no means of making
money at home Many of these received
large bounties, especially towards the
close of the war The bounties and wa
ges of these men, sent home, made mon
ey plenty. When these men came home,
to their praise be it said, they went to
work. Half dozen furnaces we're built,
iron was produced far in advance of the
demand, and now two millions of dollars
of labor is tied up in iron in Jackson
county. That is why times ar e not so
prosperous as in the years Immediately
succeeding the war. But the older men
can compare the present tunes with the
times under Democratic administra-
ton
This is contest between intelligence
and ignorance; between honesty and
rascality The bondholder takes his
gold dollar to the store and gets yards
of calico for it; the laborer takes his
greenback, or furnace scrip, or furnace
punch and gets only little over six
yards. Our party proposes to make the
greenback so good that it will purchase
as much as the gold dollar. The De-
mocracy proposes to render it of much
less value than ''punch" tickets.
Go to the election early, and vote for
every man on the Republican ticket. Let
nothing keep you at hcme. Vote for
honesty, good money, and free schools.
Vote

The Great Anti.Periodic.


The certainty and promptitude with which
obstinate cases of malarial disease, and the
complete protection which they afford the sys-
tenn against the miasmatic poison which i'm
pregnates the air of low lying marshy locaIi-
ties, stamp them as the foremost of American
anti-periodics. Whenever on this continent
fever and ague is regular visitant-in the bot
tom lands of the South, the new clearings and
mining districts of the West, and in all Iocali-
ties in the Eastern and Middle States where
malaria prevails, the Bitters are recognized as
the only true specific for the disease, and its
most reliable preventative. They are, more
over, safe and agreeable as well a certain
remedy, and on this account are immeasurably
superior to the preparations of quinine, arsenic,
hlsmuth, and other mineral poisons mistaken
~ administered as curatives for maladies eaus-
ed by miasma, and which if persisted in work
lrreparable injury to the constitution.
OnIortunately, fever and ague, and the other
Ieorhe complaints generated by miasma, are
not the only evils which result from it. A
great variety of disorders are superinduced by
the irritation which it causes Among these
are neuralgia, rheumatism, gout, periodical
headache, palpitat ton, painful affections of the
spleen, and various arrangements of the stom- |
ach. When traceable to malaria the above |
affections are apt to assume, like the disease |
which originated them, an intermittent type; |
that is to say, they recur at regular intervals |
Bitters, however, obviates them all |
by banishing the miasmatic virus from the |
system.
