How to Put Up Pickles.

As the season is now at hand when every
housekeeper is about putting up" the
years supply OF pickles, etc, OF which a
pure, strong and palatab.e vinegar forms
the most essential part, some OF our readers
may be at a loss to know what kind of a
vinegar to Use and ask for, that will insure
a good result. for there is nothing in the
world 30 aggravating to a 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 locked for
ward to, she has for all her trouble, time
and money simply a mass of soft, taste ess
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 wafer over the pickles
using handful Of salt to one gallon of
water, let them stand over night, then
drain them off thoroughly and cover them
entirely with Prussin.'s White Wine Vim
egar, let them stand few days, then scald
with the vinegar, pour it off and cover them
again with fresh vinegar, cold; spice to
taste, small piece of alum may be added
to improve the color keep your pickle jar
well covered and you will have fine and
crisp pickles for years Memphis AudIanohe

Nubians, think you said-emit bright

: The dealer, who had been regarding with
interest the warmth Of manner and ferven-
+ cy Of phrase with which Artemus criticised
the work, boldly said That's a rare
piece of painting. l see you appreciate it,
sir. That's 30 guineas"
Itwas worth, if it could be said TO have
any worth at all, about "a many shillings.
Artemus shook his head. Il suppose you
could cay $50, money down"
"Oh, yes, Ill knock of the odd shil-
lings"
"Thank you, sir, oh, thank you," replied
Artemus, with we'll acted gratitude. "1t's
very good Of you to make this sacrifice.
Have you, by the way, any secondhand
Murilios, or even third-h and, or played-out
litians? have instructions to bring back
an old master or two if can get them at a
reasonable price. The town that have the
honor to represent in these art purchases is
particularly anxious TO secure one old mas
ter if not two"
The man hesitated moment in his
reply, seemed to reflect, and bestowing a
searching glance at Robertson and myself,
who had remained silent during the inter
view, at length concluded that he had no
old masters, but could get some in few
days
"Fm so glad" pursued Ar;emus; then
strolling about the little shop, remarked,
"You have some noble works OF art here,
sir-old, to be sure, and many of them dim
and faded, but your stock affords great op-
portunity to collectors. And now, sir, let
me thank you very much indeed for your
kindness in permitting us to feast on these
various masterpieces-for they are nothing
else-and may trouble you to let me have
three of those eggs see in the window,
hope they are fresher than the pictures
thank you, sir. Kindly put them in
bag, if you can accommodate me-"
The man seemed dazed at the rapid tran
sit from the pictures to the eggs, and me-
chanically obeyed his customer. He calm
ly placed the three eggs in paper. Artemus
laid down shilling, waited for his change,
counted it carefully, shook hands with the
man as he said goodbye" and we all
smilinglv took our departure.
When We turned the corner he handed
the eggs to beggar-woman who happened
To pass then We all enjoyed mutual good
laugh as We recalled The expressions of the
picture-dealer's face az We examined all
his daubs, for he evidently imagined that
he had found an unexpectedly sumptuous
customer from the New World.

SAM TILDEN says he and his New York
partners had a perfect right to those Al
ton and Terre Haute bonds which the
stockholders say they stole. But here is
what Mr.. Garrison, President of the road
at the time Tilden was called in, says:
In 1859 picked up this road-the Ter
re Haute, Alton and St. Louis Railroad-a
waif. Its men had not been paid for FIVE
months. For protection against execution
its fuel was paid for as it was delivered
upon the engines. ! carried it alone for
six months, and indorsed for it personally
in all, including renewals, to the amount of
more than S5O0,O00. gave it all my time
and all my abilities, and after four years
delivered it up worth S6,O00,O00. Five
thousand dollars year, without any COM
mission for indorsing, was all l was paid
all demanded but, if there is any such
merit in service as is asserted, and il Mr..
IIden or the Purchasing Committee rere enti-
tied to steal 100000 or 100000 cl bonds,
then claim it was my honest right to
have stolen the railroad itself.

NOT SURPRISING.

EDITOR TIMES: The death OF the Leav-
enworth Daily Appeai is not at all surpris'
ing to people who have long noticed its
sickly condition. 1t has for several years
been afflicted with chronic disease, that
was known to be incurable, yet occasionally Y
it received dose Of medicine that gave it
temporary relief. The most efectual doses
were usually administered during election
campaigns by DR.. Candidate Had it not
been for this doctor, 1t would have given up
the ghost long ago. But DIR. Candidate
practices medicine only few weeks in a
year, and consequently the appeal was
forced al times TO locf around Tor other
physician Al last it applied to DIR County
Board for medicine and made affidavit that
il had a general circulation. The doctor
examined the patient, and found that it
had a general circulation of fifty copies,
and that the disease was incurabe and the
patient not fiji subject for his medicine
The Appeai then became delirious and saw
rats, snakes, hobgoblins, etc, from which it
concluded that DR. County Board was cor
rupt and in market like itself. 1t then
took the Court House on the brain and saw
boilers blow up, pipes hur-t and destruction
generally, while On Id man sat there doing
nothing Just think, the County Court
House on the brain of the little appeal No
wouder it could not live. Neither could it
die while there is a great election near at
hand, and the great DIR. Candidate is sure
to turn up soon. In this condition it kept
struggling between life and death until the
beginning Of the week. whe, it yielded to the
grim monster, leaving sickly offspring
called weekly, which may live until after
the election if DIR. Candidate thinks it
worthy of treatment. Is.

EDITOR TINES: Being on the run, and
having left my notes. / cannot now give
you any more letters from the Centennial,
so will tell you a word or two about this
barbarian wilderness of Maine.
l have been in the State week, among
old friends and scenes. One week has been
enough to satisfy me that Kansas ia not
bleeding half 80 badly as Maine. Crops
are good, but so limited and meagre in ex-
tent that they don't seem to amount to
much. Business is not. All the mills
are still. Lumber has no sale The pines
OF Maine are among the past. Western
dealers ship lumber to Bangor to-day, and
undersell the Maine manufactured. There
are no laborers in the penobscot valley.
which used to TEEN with thousands upon
thousands. There is, of course, no money.
Ii seems like Sunday all the time. People
feel detected and gloomy. They have no
hope OF revival, because they say lum-
bering Is played out" 20, you see, Maine
Is better than ever to emigrate from; and
thousands are leaving. Bangor, though
beautiful city, is as still as-as-well, as
Lawrence, and you know that's perfectly
awful. The old and solid men are failing
every day. Only day before yesterday one
OF the strongest business men in the State.
who for thirty years has stood all the
storms, succumbed, and is under the ham
mer. Never was the condition so bad and
20 insecure here. And it Is the same all
over the State. Nothing can do good to
the State but the utilization OF the immense
water powers here in other manufacturing
besides lumber.
And all New England is the same. In
every manufacturing town the stress is lust
as great. Cotton and wooden manufacIur-
ers don't want 10 drive a spindle nor a
loom. 1t Is a loss to do so. The resort TO
auction sales OF goods is unprecedented, and
affords no relief, "a it gives no margin. II
have talked with many proprietors OF mills,
and they all tell the same tale. The poy-
erty and distress among the laboring classes
is very great. And, worse than all the rest,
nobody has any hope or expectation of i'm
provement. There isnt a CLEAN Of sun
shine through the clouds.
Political matters have never been .,
quiet in Presidential campaign. The
State is safe for Hayes, but there il no de-
sire to roll up great majorities, and people
are SO depressed that even in politics they
show a marvellous apathy. The district
and county conventions are as calm and un
interesting as religious conference. But
everybody says the State is all right, which
is undoubtedly true.
The weather is warm, with delightfully."-
cool nights-an agreeable change from the
ovens OF Philad. phia.
Railroad traffic OF all kinds is powerful
weak" and all the usual pleasures OF
Maine are very sensibly curtailed by the
condition of the times The West Is far
better off than the East. s.

A man named Jean Loo, charged with
theft in Pyrennean Village, got up little
miracle TO scare off the prosecution. En-
tering the church at night, he built an al
tar of pews, rails, and other material, and
then lighting the candles, rang the bell
and ran. When the populace opened the
church, they found notes pinned up pur-
porting to come from the Savior, St Peter,
ard q score Of otherr, all testifying to the
innocence and piety Of the accused. But ii
didn't work. Loo was sentenced to five
years imprisonment at hard labor, five
years surveillance BY the police, and the
loss OF his civil rights.
