How TO Put UP PICKLEs.-As the
season is now at hand when every house
keeper is about putting up the year S
supply of pickles, etc, of which pure,
strong and palatable vinegar forms the
most essential part, some of our readers
may be at loss to know what kind Of
vinegar to use and ask for, that will insure
a good result, for there is nothing in the
world so aggravating to thrifty house
wife as to find on opening her pickle jar,
that instead of the firm, crisp and refresh
ing pickle. SO much desired and looked
forward to, she has for all her trouble,
time aud money simply mass of soft,
tasteless and insipid rubbish that has been
rendered so by the use of vinegar lacking
proper strength or containing all sorts OF
mineral acids and deleterious substances.
To avoid this loss and annoyance ask your
grocer for Prussing's White Wine Vinegar,
which, used in the following recipe, will
prove a success:
Pour boiling salt water over the pickles
| using a handful of salt to one gallon o!
water, let them stand over night, ther
drain them off thoroughly and cover then
entirely with Prussing's White Wine
Vinegar, let them stand few days, theI
scald with the vinegar, pour it of anc
cover them again with fresh vinegar, cold
spice to taste, small piece Of alum mal
be added to improve the color; keep you
pickle jar we'll covered and you will hav,
fine and crisp pickles for years. Memphi

JIM BELL.
A Notorious Rock Islander in Jail at
De Witt.

This somewhat noted character is again
in Jail in town, as we noted briefly last
week. Bell is big thief on small scale.
He is of the class of men who do big
business with small auger." One might
suppose, judging from the manner in
which his name has been cuffed about In
the papers, that Bell was one of the high
toned fellows who made big haul-of the
Piper stamp for instance. whose plan was
to get hold of enough so that he might
compromise with his victims by giving up
halt the haul, leaving a fine margin. But
not so. Jim Bell is of low order of ras-
Gals. His crime in this county, for which
he has been three times arrested, and has
twice escaped the clutches of his officers,
is that of robbery from the persona pick
pocket, if you please. He is a common
thief of about the fourth magnitude and is
not as sharp as he has credit of being. he
has been in prison In no one but himself
knows how many places. He escaped from
the Dewitt Jail on the 30th of last April
| in company with four others. This escape
was planned and largely executed, Bel
now tells, by the man Harrington, one oi
the escaped prisoners. A former prisoner
named Welch furnished them the
tools to dig out with. They escaped
from Jail about daylight on that Sabbath
morning, and three of them,-Bell, Her
rington and Marvin-(the worst ones
struck out north. They went by the wa,
of Welton, Maquoketa and Sabula tt
| Dubuque, where they parted. Bell wen
on north, and was recently captured ant
iugged at St. Paul, for till-tapping. AL
though he went by another name ne wa

NOTES HERE AND THERE.

Bob Ingersoll is almost as decent in
his campaign talk as the great Dick Ogles-
bv. He styles the friends of MIR. Tilden
lousy, dirty, Democrats. :"
1t may help to explain that appoint
ment if it is remembered that Greene b.
Raum was the first to congratulate Bah
cock after that artful dodger had hocused
the courts.
People visiting Chicago should not
fail to avail themselves of the comforts OF
the palatial Sherman House. Its rooms
are twice the size of those usually found
in first class hotels, and all front rooms
have baths attached.
Which is the savage, and which the war
rior? Sitting Bull would not allow any oil
his people to scalp poor Custer. Buffalo
Bill has sent the scalp of Yellow Hand, the
chief he killed while with Merritt to friends
in Rochester n. Y.
The part played in the Venezuelan
swlndle by Godlove S. Orth, of Indiana
had been exposed before his nomination tC
the governorship by the Republican party
and his withdraw at this time from th'
candidacy only adds to the disgrace of thu
party.

THE SERVrAN WAR.
THE TURKS EVERYWHERE VICTOR.
IOUS.
The War Degenerating into Mere
Guerrilla Affair.

LONDON, August ll.-Further cores
pondence respecting Bulgarian atrocities
was laid before parliament yesterday.
A despatch from Lord Derby to the
British ambassador at Constautinople, sent
on the Sth inst, instructs him to urge
strongly on the Porte the necessity that
troops should be kept under control; that
the unarmed population be spared, and
that repetition of outrages in Bulgary be
avoided. Also that the renewal of such
outrages would prove more disastrous to
the Porte than the loss of battle. The
indignation of Europe would be uncon
trolable and interference in sense hostile
to Turkey would inevitably follow.
A correspondent at Belgrade telegraphs:
The tolls are closing around Servia.
Abdul Kerim, pachas, is pushing west
ward from Gurgusavatz and the Servian
general Harvatovich, has fallen back on
Yankavo and Klesura. Hard fighting be-
gan at Yankavo, Wednesday, and is still
continuing If Turkey carry Yankavc
there will be no important obstacle in the
way to Bopja. The army Of the south is
faring badly and has retreated from lavol
to the interior. All available guns are
being mounted upon the ramparts OF the
fortress at Belgrade.
The correspondent notes the fact tina
many Servians are coming to the real
slighly wounded in the hand or fore arm
and believes they shoot themselves to aoviC
appearing in battle
Col. Antiteis retreat to Ivauitza mean
a much further retreat. Iyanitza is sur
rounded by high hills affording the Turk
excellent offensive positions. The fact i
the Servian war is about to assume
much less ambitious character than whe
first undertaken and is about to resolv
itself into guerrilla affair.
