To KEEP TOMATOES FOR WINTER
UsE.-As the tomato season is now here,
1 contribute one way for keeping them
for winter use that may be new to some
of your readers. I ate them in February,
sliced and seasoned with sugar and q
little vinegar, that seemed every way as
nice as tomatoes picked from the vines.
They were preserved in the following
manner: Dissolve teacup Of salt in
gallon OF water. Pick ripe tomatoes,
but not over ripe, leaving little of the
stem on. The tomatoes must be we'll
covered with brine, and they will keep
till spring or over.

COwHIDED FOR NOT MARRYING.-
Yesterday morning Mr.. George Dodson,
Of Georgetown, entered the office of the
Gas Officer, and asked to see Mr.. VIM.
B. Orme, one of the clerks. Orme an
swered the summons, and as soon as he
appeared, young Dodson produced a
cowhide and proceeded to belabor Orme
in an artistic manner. OF course this
created stir among the clerks and by
ISLANDERS, who at once surrounded the
combatants and Dodson departed. The
facts in the case are as follows: Orme
for some months past has been engaged
to be married to Miss Dodson, and their
wedding day was fixed. Several days
ago Orme called upon the lady, and
without previous warning informed her
that his affection for had ceased and he
could not fulfil his engagement. The
lady, who had learned to love him de-
votedly, was nearly heart broken, and
her mother, who was out of the city, was
telegraphed for. Yesterday she arrived,
sent for Orme who then and there, over
his signature, made statement COM
pletely exonerating Miss Dodson from
all blame. George Dodson, the brother,
finished the affair yesterday as stated
All the parties concerned are residents
eff Georgetown, and the affair has crea-
ted quite sensation, the sympathies of
the public being with young Dodson
and his injured sister, Wash. Critic.

H. R. STEVENS, ESQ.,:
Dear Sir-I have been badly afflicted with Kid
ney Complaint for ten years; have suffered
great pain in my back, hips and side, with great
difficulty in passing urine, which was often and
in very small quantities, frequently accompanied
with blood and excruciating pain. have faith
fully tried most of the popular remedies recon-
mended for my complaint; have been under the
treatment of some of the most skilful physi-
clans in Boston, all of whom pronounced my case
incurable. This was my condition when / was
advised by friend to try the VEGETINE, and
could see the good effects from the first dose
took, and from that moment kept on improving
until was entirely cured, taking in all, should
think, about six bottles.
1t is indeed valuable medicine, and If I
should be afflicted again in the same way would

BY J,tG.AwILLIs.

A distinguished poetess Of En- gland
declared many. years ago. that death
comes at all seasons. And, certainly,
our daily observation and experience
al life, convince ]: of this fact. He
not only makes his ravages seen in the
world at:all periods of time, but he
respects neither persons nor circum-
s'staqces. He strikes down the king in
hills ofltfa isplendor; and he also
prostrates the ragged pauper, in the
l,piGst of his deplorable restitution.
+This grim messenger enters the doors
nf the. magnificent mansion of the
wealthy, and invades the prosperous
family. And he takes one of lis mem
beers from it in defiance of all brides
or lamentations. With the same 81
lent footsteps, he treads upon the UNI
covered floor of the shabby hut of the
poor man, removing his patient wife
or his half starved children. One
hoar,he summons the tiny babe, whom
the mother - watching so affection
tionatcly In the cradle; the next hour
he cuts down with his remorseless
sickle Of disease, the white-Aaired
grandfather, whom age has dccayed
dixie q faded flower. We are all NOR
tai, And the timc which elapses be-
tween that OF birth and dying, is as
tonishingly shott. Surely, if there
were no immortality of the soul, God
I. would not deprive us of such large
numbers Of confessedly talented men
and women, before their appointed
work is done. We must reason with
ourselves, and conclude that there is
= higher sphere of existence for them
in the failure. Heaven itself must be

much discussion upon the rights du'
ties, and privileges of journalism, es'
pecially in moral point of view. Ii
is notorious that many of our leading
papers publish weekly, and daily, all
kinds of quack advertisements, atid
III some instances, under a guise that
which is decidedly immoral, and is
contraband of law, all of wllich are
calculated to encourage vice and
crime. Most PAPERS with great Hour
ish.publish murders, suicides, seduc,
lions, aluItries, burglaries, thefts,
scandals, all disagrceahle and DIS
graceful things-detalled histories of
events that appeal TO prusient tastes,
and a low. morbid disease, for that
which is coarse, vulgar, and BRUTAL
observation teaches that such things
enter largely into all of our papers.
And farther, we believe There is no de-
partnient of the worlds weekly news,
given so exhaustivcly, as that which
relates to vice and crime. Space is
given for q particular account of an
unfaithful husband or wife, that ought
to be filed by some article that is
remedial of the crimes and vices of
society. Some of our papers have a
way of "doing up their column of
weekly crime as if it were a jolly
joke.
The poor women who are lost to
virtue, furnish greatful themes for the
reporters witty pleasantries. Their
arraignment, trial, looks, and appear
ance~ are oil noted in q manner to ex-
cite laughter. The higher the life,
the purer the repulotion, the richer
Dre the developments. Crime in high
life is a very savory dish, out of
which tasty article can be served.
But worse than all is, these things
have q mercantile value; they would
not be published if the people would
not buy them. Can it be that our
morals are so low as people? Are
not our papers first to ransack from
one end to The other for such news
items as are referred to above, as soon
us taken in hand by the larger portion
of community, and read with greed,
instead of articles referring TO church
es, schools, social conventions, private
and organized charities, articles that
tell of Advancement and progress in
society.
! It is an evil that every paper claim
ing to be respectable, should cut up,
root and branch. So long as crime is
treated lightly, it will be encouraged.
The paper has become daily food for
our children, in every family of ordin-
airy intelligence; andit ought never
to hold record which would natur-
ally leave an unwholesome effect up
on their minds If crime is recorded
it should be denounced as crime, and
told in as pure and chaste manner,
as if told from the pulpit, when all
the nastiness and beastliness, is left
out. The paper should be u leader
Ia c:vilization,-should guard with
scrupulous care the morals of the pco-
ple, should never countenence any,
thing impure and never advertise in
any way anything impure, cheat or
fraud Editors should think before
they publish humbug. 1t is not
enough that they get their cash ''per
line"for advertising, they are, and
should be accountable to the public.
