Senator Conover, of Florida, is not
only an unshaken and an unshakable
Republican himself, all reports to the
contrary notwithstanding, but he is
also firm in the belief that Florida
will be Republican at the next elec-
ton. He expects to be reelected by
a Republican Legislature, because
the influx of Northern capital and
voters has had 50 great all effect upon
the State that a full and fair vote can
be taken, and that means an easy
Republican victory.

A COSTLY TICKLE.-A lew days
ago resident of Morris avenue, and
probably one of the best known men
in the city as straightforward busi-
ness man, went to- New York on
some business. AS he was going up
Broadway his attention was attract
ed by one of the many snowy win-
dows on that street. He stopped for
moment to look, and according to-
his usual habit had both hands in his
pants pockets. Half a dozen more
men soon gathered around, and some
one in the rear reached over and
tickled the old gent from Elizabeth
on the ear with straw. This caused
the Jerseyman to withdraw one Of
his hands to brush away the sup~
posed fly. After returning this use
full member to his pocket, where but
"a few seconds ago it had clasped his
pocket-b0ok, behold! his cash was
gone. He made the best of the stu
alton, and promised himself to keep
mum. But it has leaked Out how
the New York sharp tickled the old
gent from Jersey. y.-Elizobeth Journal.

AC0urt Room Scene.

VANeEBUReH, KY, September
30.-Our Criminal Court was opened
by Judge Sands in creditable style
as reported but no business was
transacted because Judge Sands.
failed to sustain his judicial and
personal dignity. There was much
bad feeling manifested at one time
toward this young and gifted Judge
until he came into Court and said:
"Gentien1en ana FeiloW C1izeRs-I
appear before you to say ] am victim
to Il vice which has disgraced ME be-
fore you ana my country. AS en-
tered this Court room [ heard some
one say: There goes pretty timber
to make Criminal Judge Of feel

.hoast fer i.sras,s sss..sss.S sessvvvsss1gs,
of the high honor and trust you
hav conferred upon one so young
and [ return to you the office | have
lost, being unworthy of it. Pardon
me, friends and countrymen, but
you shall bear this no longer. My
judicial integrity and official acts are
blameless. Thank God, l am no
longer Criminal Judge of Lewis
county. May Heven keep me in my
affliction ~
This eloquent and feeling appeal
was never heard here before. Preju-
dice was turned to sympathy, and
sympathy to compassion for Judge
Sands. He has warm place in our
hearts, and we hope he will return
TO us reformed.

THE STORM IN BALTIMORE.

BALTIMORE, Oct. A heavy
rain storm prevailed here from six
o'clock this morning until about the
same time in the evening. Many
cellars along the wharves and in the
northwestern and eastern sections OF
the city are flooded. In the after
noon a strong wind blew down trees,
signs, etc. Trains were delayed on
the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore road, culverts being wash
ed out and otherwise damaged be-
tween Baltimore and the Susque-
hanna. The Storm was severe at
Port Deposit, the street along the
river being flooded to the first floors
Of the houses.

The New York Commercial points
out that nothing is more easy than
to grow rich. 1t is only to trust
nobody--to befriend none-to get all
you can and save all you get-to stint
yourself and everybody belonging to
you to be the friend of no man, and
have no man for you friend-tO heap
interest upon interest cent upon cent
to be mean, miserable and despised
for some twenty or thirty years
and riches will come assure as disease
and disappointment. And when
pretty nearly enough wealth is collec-
ted, by a disregard of all the charities
of the human heart and at the ex-
pense of every enjoyment, death
comes to finish the work-the body
is buried in hole, the heirs dance
over it, and the spirit goes-where.

day did extensive damage in several
sections of the city, the northern and
eastern sections suffering the greater
proportion, as usual. Hundreds OF
trees in the parks and streets, young
and old, We're blown down, many
roofs We're uncovered and numerous
chimneys blown oyer. The water
along the line of the d street sewer
rose very high, filing all the cellars
for several squares north and south
of it from Second to Thirteenth
streets. In the neighbJrhnod of the
Baltimore and Potomac depot the
water rose three feet above the level
ofthe pavement, flooding every house
on Missouri avenue. For four hours
persons were carried to and from the
depot in stages and other vehicles.
The entire ma 4 was at one time COW

in depth from six inches to two and
a-half feet, when the cars of the Sew
enth street line in passing through
the mall the water was at times high
er than the floors, passengers being
forced to stand up on the seats.
At sundown the rain stopped,
though very strong wind prevailed
during the night. Much damage was
done to the patent office, and a force
of laborers was kept at work there
for several hours bailing out the
building. Wild reports were circu-
laten through the building about
noon to the effect that the walls were
weakening. There was no truth in
them. All the clerks who had rooms
in the north wing of the building,
were forced to leave their desks short
ly after noon on account of the leaks
in the ceiling. The Temporary roof
on the north and west wings Of the
building has not yet been erected.
Between five and six o'clock this
morning nearly one half of the mar
bic ceiling Of the pOrticO of the pat
ent Office ON the north side fell and
broke into fragments. The sound
produced by the fall was like that of
cannon.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The dam
oge to the Ninth and G strret wings
of the patent office from the heavy
rain to-day is very great, many rec
ords and public papers being
thoroughly saturated. The tempor-
airy roof not having been erected the
water soaked through the floors OF
the late model rooms on those wings
damaging everything in the rooms
/ below on the second floor of the
building. AS many papers and books
were moved to places Of safety as
/ possible, but the water poured in rap
idly and wet many before they could
be removed. The library aud other
portions We're covered with tarpaul-
ins, and good deal of property thus
saved. 1t is feared that the rain has
weakened the outer walls of the
burnt portion, and that much OF
them will have to be rebuilt.

are the safest remedy for those peculiar
diseases arising from the structural differ
enccs between the sexes, and known as
Female Complaints.
The use of Keller's Vegetable Life
Drops has been thus only partially indi-
Gated; their range of application is very
great, and their work is always more thar
satisfactory. Their remarkable efficacy,
as already shown, is particularly exhibited
in diseases of Blood, Liver, Stomach and

Kellers Vegetable Life Drops are re-
commended as being the best and cheap

are sold by druggists and deaiers ut 90

KeIler's Vegetable Life Drops
Liver COMP. Amt,

When from any of the numerous Inci-
ting causes the Liver begins to act abnor-
mally, the bile remains in the system,
vitiating and perverting every vital pro-
cess, and causing Boils, Carbuncles,
Blotches, Pimples, Coughs, Bronchitis,
Asthma, Consumption, Dysentery, Kid
rey and Bladder diseases, and many other
disorders, all originating directly or indi-
rectly from the Liver. Keller's Vegetable
Life Drops induce the healthy action of
the Liver by providing for the removal of
the hillary constituents by the Bowels,
Kidneys and Skin.

CANNING TOMATOEs.

We have before us many complaints
from readers who have attempted to
can tomatoes and make failure of 1t
lin most casee tho cane have burst, the
fruit having first spoiled, of course. 1t
would be impossible for US to point
out the cause In every case, unless we
had; all the particulars, 80 we, shall pro.
coed to do the next best thing: tell
how Tomatoes can be pat up in W y
to keep successfully. The process is
the one usually employed In the Nor
put up. These. tomatoes keep well
here after having been brought from
the North, and hence it is but reasona-
BILE to suppose that they would keep
equally as we'll ii put up here.
The tomatoes are first slightly scald-
Ell, Sufficiently to peel nicely, and
when peeled are thrown into pans in
order to let some of the watery part
drain Oh. They are then packed into
"a pound tin cans, cold, leaving just
| room enough for 4 large spoonful OF
syrup. This syrup Is made by dissolv-
ing ~ pounds OF, salt, and the same
amount of sugar, in one gallon OF
| water. The cans are then soldelad
and PLACED in sleet-iron pens, holding
thirty-five cans each, and lowered into

sufficient depth to cover them. Ii a
can Is not tight it may be readily dis
lowered by the AIR which will escape
Through the hole, causing blubbers ito
rise to the surface of the water. The
leaky can should, be Immediately
taken out and the hole stopped ! All
kinds of vegetables and fruit put up in
cans, should be first tested in this way
before they are bathed. - When u vat
/ full Of tomatoes has thus been tested
and prepared, the pans are lowered
| into q suitable vessel, one on top OF the
other, ana ystealn let on, allowing the
tomatoes to boil thirty minutes. In
case cans larger in diameter are used,
Ilonger cooking will benecessary. When
| the tomatoes are done the pans and their
contents arxs hoisted out, and the cans
lare vented by opening an awf hole in
the cap, allowing the steam to escape,
and then immediately closing the aper-
ture with solder. When the cans have
cooled, If all right, the heads will snap
in by slight pressue, showing that
there is q good vacuum.

The thoroughness with which Pierfe-
pont and Badeau (Brigadter In watting)
managed to make ex-Prestdent Grant
ridiculous In London will be appreci-
ated by the intelligent readers OF the
following private letter to q friend IN
New York "from an English member
Of Parliament, we'll known for hts good
will toward this country"
4sSome ridiculous and preposterops
thugs have happened during drant's
visit In connection with the awml
question of precedence, lin. the inno-
cence OF our hearts we had fancied the
Presidency Of the United States sort
of Cincinnatus business, and that, after
joyfully laying down the sceptre of an-
thority, your Republican chief nag1s-
trates gladly returned to the condition
of citizens and yoked their horses once
more to the plcw; but 1t seems we We're
all mistaken Your ex-President has
insisted upon the highest royal honor's,
wanting to walk before princes, II not
before kings, which would all be very
we'll il you had only let us know 1t was
in the programme. As nobody under
stood about 1t, the results have been
rather epmical. At Mr.. Pferrepont's
Grant and Mrs. Grant, Pierrepont and
Mrs. Pierrepont, and Mfr. Badeau, all
stood In a semi circle in one room, after
the manner OF the Queen and royal
family ut drawing room, to receive
the guests. A Tory friend Of mime
chaffed me frightfully, about it, and
said he had supposed n President was a
grander kind OF parsonage than that
more like Lord Mayor OF London Or
the High Sheriff of a cOunty-the chief
man during his term of service, but
ready afterward gracefully to retire to
the higher dignity of private life. Sc
riously, L am afraid that Gen. Grant
has not made q good impression upon
the most sensible people whose good
opinion is best worth having, aud am
heartily sorry for il. It is hard to make
people who have not been in the United
States understand how an ex-President
may not be, after all, u representative
American or even n fair specimeas Of
his countrymen." u
It seems that Pierrepont took the
reception Of Grant upon himself, and
warned him by telegram to Queens
town not to accept any invitations.
