An Incident of the Cincinnati
Convention.

But the funniest incident of the whole
session was when Richard Fl. Dana was
addressing the Convention, the joke be-
ing at his expense. He is a fat, fluffy
sort of man, with a general disposition
on the part of his body to fill his clothes
quite full and run over a little. He was
seconding the nomination of Bristow,
and assuring the Convention that no
other man could carry Massachusetts,
etc. His remarks were not we'll receiv-
ed, his manner was offensive, and the
Convention made no concealment of its
Impotence. Finally, at the close of
one of Mr.. Dana's sentences, when he
paused to gather breath and inspira-
ton, some one in the gallery shouted
IS Pull down your vest" The idea of
saying such thing to a blue-blooded
gentleman from Massachusetts was
funny enough in itself, but the fact that
his vest did show tendency to secede
added infinitely to the humor of the
thing. The hit was at once so auda-
cious and so palpable that the Conven-
ton fairly shouted, and the dignified
gentleman from Massachusetts was
himself visibly embarrassed. He proba-
bly, goes home more fnlly convinced
than ever that Western civilization is
failure, and that the true, the beautiful,
and the good find their only safe abid-
ing place in Massachusetts,

wish to add my testimony 70 the wonderful
curative properties of your Alt. Ext, or
Golden Medical Discovery. have taken great
interest in this medicine since first used it.
was badly afflicted with dyspepsia, liver
deranged and an almost perfect prostration
of the nervous system. So rapid and COM
plete did the Discovery effect perfect cure
that it seemed more like magic and per-
feet wonder to myself, and since that time
we have never been without bottle Of the
Discovery and Purgative Pellets in the
house. They are solid, sound family physi-
clan in the house and ready at all times
to fly to the relief of sickness-without
charge. We have never had doctor in the
house since We fr,t began the use of your
Pellets and Discovery. 1 have recomme end
ed the use of III Sc medicines in several Sc
we're and complicated cases arising from,
and in no one case have trey failed to more
than accomplish all they are claimed to do.
viii only mention one as remarkable,
Ohough | could give you dozensl. Henry
ke ter, furniture dealer, of this place, who
was one of the most pitiful objects ever
seen, his face swollen out of shape, scales
and eruptions without end, extending to his
body, which was comp.et " covered with
blotches and scales. Nothing that he took
seemed to effect it a particle. I finally in
duced him to try few bottles of the Gold
en- Medical Discovery, with daily use of the
Pellets, assuring him It would surely cure
him. He commenced It's use some six weeks
since, taking two Pellets each night for
week, thea one each night, and the Discov-
cry as directed. The result is, to-day his
skin is perfectly smooth, and the scaly
eruptions are gone. He has taken some
seven or eight hotties in all, and considers
himself cured. This case had bafiled the
skill of our best physicians. cMessrs zDuns-
ford & Co., druggists, of this place, arc sell
ing largely of your medicines and the de-
.mand ste:dily increases, and they give per
feet satisfaction in every case s.s5l.st ~

A Grasshopper's Fiddle.

We lay ninety-nine eggs; if we laid
one hundred we should devastate the
earth.'' 1t is a Mohammedan legend
that the Prophet found this motto writ
ten on the wings of a locust, an insect
as nearly related to the grasshopper as
the Mohammedan is to Yankee.
Last May, the farmer in Eastern
tirely eaten between ten o'clock Satur-
day morning and four O'Clock Sunday
afternoon, and who caught ninety-eight
grasshoppers with one sweep of his
hand, must have thought the hundredth
egg was Matched at last. But the hum
of the vast swarms was soon lost to the
northward. Then. bird and parasite,
and Minnesota boys and girls, who were
paid for gathering them so much a
bushel, soon ended the brood of jump
ing fiddlers; for as truly as the cricket
sings, SO truly does the grasshopper
play the fiddle. Any how'll he does
not play the fiddle, he does something
like it, as each of you may prove if you
will watch him when you hear him play
ing his monotonous tune. When he be-
gins to play che bends the shank of one
hind-leg beneath the thigh, where it is
lodged in furrow designed to receive
it, and then draws the leg briskly up
and down several times against the pro-
jecting lateral edge and veins of the
wing-cover. A learned naturalist,
named Harris, once wrote this, and
your Jacks repeats it. 1t is plain
enough if you remember that the front
wings are called wing-coyers, as they
are used for protection and not for
flight. Grasshoppers play the fiddle on
each side alternately, supporting them
selves, meanwhile, as well as they can

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

DRIED-APPLE PIE-Soak the apples
all night in warm water, setting the pan
on the back of the stove. In the morn
ing pick them over, and cut out all
kettle and stew until soft, adding a little
cider instead of water to soften them.
When cool, sweeten well, adding a
grated lemon peel, and the juice of a
lemon to every two pies. Put several
bits of butter into each pie, and bake
with flakey, short, upper and under
crust.
BEAN SoUP.-Soak 1 quart of white
beans over night in warm water. Turn
it off in the morning, and add quarts
of boiling water and 1 pound of pork,
and boil or hours. AS the water
evaporates, add more. When the beans
are well pulped, strain through sieve,
and serve the pork on separate dish.
Season with pepper, and, if liked, flavor
with an onion and carrot chopped fine,
added when the beans are first put on
to boil. This is a very appetizing dish,
and highly relished by many who can
not eat baked beans.
To REMOVE FRUIT STAINs.-When a
napkin or table-cloth gets stained with
fruit or berries, if boiling hot water is
poured on the stained spot it will rinse
out entirely; but if it should be over
looked and go into the wash, soaking
the spots in warm new milk will remove
them. For ink stains on cotton goods,
warm new milk is the remedy, if APP
piled Immediately. On wooden or
worsted garments, little spirits of
turpentine, rubbed on with wooden
cloth, will take the ink all out; then
wash out with pure warm water.
HINTS FOR Observation-Disclosures SUI
gar is better than granulated for sponge
cake. Boiled custards with lemon jelly
are excellent for tea. Make a rich,
well favored soft custard, and with a box
of Cox's Sparkling Gelatine, prepare a
stiff jelly, from receipt given with the
box. When needed for tea, turn the
jelly out of the mold into a handsome
glass dish, and pour the eustard all
around it. You can leave out several
of.the whites of the eggs used for the
custard, and, beating them to a stiff
froth, ornament the custard with them.
and bit of red jelly or jam can be
placed on top of each spoonful of froth.
POTATO SALAD.-Boil potatoes so
that a fork will pass through them
rather slowly; letthem cool thoroughly
or stand over night; then cut into small
bits like dice. If onions are liked, chop
one very fine, and add to them. Make
dressing by taking 1 teaspoonful OF
ground mustard, and rubbing it thor
oughly with a teaspoonful of salt, a lit
tie white pepper, and 2 well beaten raw
eggs. Add very slowly teaeupful OF
the best salad oil, and 2 tablespoonful
of vinegar. Thick sour or sweet cream
can be substituted for. the oil. Beat
this until very stiff, and turn over the
potato. Small bits of cold veal, beef or
mutton, are an improvement to it.
