The Florida Returning Board

The New York Times of the 18th
inst. has the following from its special
correspondent at Tallahassee:
At IL O'Clock to-day Judge White re-
sumed his judicial operations against
the canvassing board for contempt, but
the Democratic lawyers, to the surprise
of their friends, suddenly determined to
withdraw all their proceedings and
bring the matter in a new form before
the Supreme Court. This was done, it
is said to relieve White, who found him.
self 80 entirely unsupported by law in
his outrageous proceedings against the
board, that his courage failed him when
he came to take the final step in
the matter; it will therefore be brought
before the Supreme Court tomorrow
and its decision will be respected, for it
lis beyond suspicion of partisan action.
The ultimate question to be decided by
this court is: Had the board the right
to go behind the county returnsp Two
years ago, when canvassing the vote for
member of congress and state ofhcers,
the same board, acting under advice of
Attorney General Cooke, went behind
returns and acted without protest from
any one. Then the Democratic lawyers
were anxious to go behind the county
returns of the vote for member of con-
gress, and there was scarcely one of the
Democratic lawyers in the state who
didn't come forward in support of the
power of the board. to go behind county
returns. Now the same lawyers find it
convenient to swallow all they said two
years ago about the power of the board;
and say that its duties are merely cleri-
cal. On points affecting national issue,
the action of the board was unanimous.
Cookies protests were against throwing
out precincts in Hamilton and Monroe
counties, and yet as shown by the Off
cial minutes of the board, he advised
this action and voted for the throwing
out Of these very precincts. No wonder
the Attorney general omitted to go
through the form of presenting his pro-
test to the other members of the board.
who knew that he had voted with them

A Boston Boy ON Hens.

Hens is curious animals. They don't
have no nose, nor no teeth, nor no ears.
They swallow their wittles whole and
chaw it up in their crops inside of 'em.
The outside of hens is generally put in
ter pliers and made inter feather dust
ers. The inside of q hen is sometimes
filed up with marbles and shirt-but-
tons and sich. A hen is very much
smaller than a good many other ami
mails, but they'll dig up more tomato
plants than anything that amt a hen.
Hens is very useful to lay eggs for plum
pudding. Bet yer life like plum-pud-
ding. Skinny Bates eat so much plum
pudding once that it set him inter the
collery. Hens has got wings and can
fly when they are skart. cut my un-
Gle Williams hens. neck off with a
hatchet and, it skart her to death.
Hens something's makes very fine spring
chickens.

Things to Remember.

Remember that lemons can be kept
sweet and fresh for months by putting
them in clean, tight cask or Jar and
covering with cold water. The water
must be changed as often as every
other day, and the eask kept in cool
place.
Remember that a tablespoonful of
black pepper will prevent gray or bun
linen from spotting if stirred into the
first water in which they are washed.
1t viii also prevent the colors running,
when washing black or colored cambrics
or muslins, and the water is not injured
by it, but just as soft as before the pep
per was put in.
Remember that mirrors should never
be hung where the sun shines directly
upon them. They soon look misty,
grow rough OF granulated, and no long
er give back a correct picture The
amalgam or union of tinfoil with mer-
curry, which is spread on glass to form
looking-glass, is easily ruined by the
direct, continued exposure to the solar
rays. -
Remember that one can have the
hands in soap-suds with soft soap with.
ont injury to the skin if the hands are
dipped in vinegar or lemon Juice imme.
diately after. The acids destroy the
corrosive effects of the alkali and make
the hands soft and white. Indian meal
and vinegar or lemon juice used on the
