forever declared Us unshackled and a free
people, the broad graphic Delaware, rich in
history of our struggling ancestors and every
thing that could tend to awaken feeling of
reverence and inspire awe is embodied within
the limits of that sacred, dear old city. The
prominent revolutionary events, which trans

T1lden and Tweed.

Tweed were formerly bosom friends
Evidence is fast accommodating that 9

Tweed was used by Tilden and us
fellow-politicians to run the Demo
cratic machine. Tweed had special
favors shown him while coninedon
the island. While at Ludlow-steet
jail he was permitted to go aboutthe
city in charge of an officer. 1t vii
be remembered that he escaped from
custody while at his home in New
York. Some power from behind tn
throne helped him. Circumstance
point to Tilden as that power
Certain 1t is that as Governor of New
York he has made no effort to dis
cover his where abouts. Not dollar
of reward has been offered for hi
capture. Even the Democratic
sheriff who allowed him to escap
still holds his position. The follow

Tweed was in his glory between

1t would be we'll if the friends of

and explain what he did with the

in the fall of 868 the receipt of this
money from Tweed, the head of the

GEN. TUTTLE, of Iowa, who was
the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor at the last election, has declar-
ed against his party, not because of
its attitude on tho currency or tariff
questions, but because, as he says, it
has abandoned itself to the old rebels,
and he is convinced that the nation
would not be safe in their hands
That is the way Republicans look at
the matter, and they will be pleased
to know that prominent Democrat
agrees to their opinion.

says: 1t has turned out that there
is irreconcilable difference between
Tilden and Hendricks, and hence the
non.appearance of Tilden's letter of
acceptance. 1t is evident from the
hurried manner in which Tilden and
Hendricks left Saratoga that there
were no wide differences, except on
the currency question, which may
oblige Hendricks to repudiate Tilden
or peacefully withdraw from the
ticket.

EAR MARKS OF BUTTER Cows.-Hon.
John Shattuck, noted butter daryman of
Chenango county, N. Y, said at the late
convention of the New York State Dairy
mems Association, that he had found the
color on the inside of the ear TO be one in
fallible guide In the selection of good but
ter COW. If the skin on the inside tue ear
is OF rich yellow color, the COW was sure
to give a good quality of milk; that is,
milk rich in butter. He said in all his ex
perience he had never known this sign to
fail. Mr.. ]. w. North, in the Maine Farm
err, gives some further information concern
ing the subject. He observes that cows
producing very high-colored butter have a
large amount of the ear secretion, in many
instances the whole internal surface being
covered with thick, orauge-colored, oily
matter; on the other hand, the light-color-
ed butter makers present scanty, thin and
pale yellowish secretion, in some cases
found only at the bottom of the ear. His
theory is that every animal has the power
OF secreting q certain amount of this yell
low pigment. If the quantity be sufficient
ly large, secretion will take place freely in
the mammary glands, the ear and skin.

COOKING Eoas.-There is an objection to
the commoU way of boiling eggs which
people do not understand. 1t is this: The
white under three minutes rapid cooking
becomes tough and indigestible, while the
yolk is leit out. When properly cooked,
eggs are done evenly through, like any h
or food. This result may be obtained by
putting the eggs into a dish with cover,
as a tin pail, and then pouring boiling wa
ter, two quarts or more to Il duzen eggs,
and cover and set them away from the
stove for fifteen minutes. The heat OF the
water cooks the eggs slowly and evenly
aud su efficiently, aud TO jelly-like consist
ency, leaving the center or yolk harderthan
the white, aud the eggs taste as much rich
er aud nicer, as a fresh egg is nicer than
stale egg, and no person will want to eat
the boiled after trying this method once.
To prepare an egg for an invalid: Beat
an egg until very light; add seasoning to
the taste; then steam until thoroughly
warmed through, but not hardened-this
will take about two minutes. An egg pre-
pared in this way will not distress even
very sensitive stomachs.
