THE Statesman is responsible for the

house organized by the democrats
Public opinion will compel the congress
to serve the administration. Public
opinion will rather compel the admin,
lstration to serve congress The presi-
dent, while he will receive the support
Of the mass of the people of all parties
and classes in whatever he does that Is
right and honorable, cannot make CON
gress subseryient to his will in that
which is not for the best interests OF the
whole country regardless of party affili-
ations and sectionalism. While the
people give him credit for
doing many good things for the people
OF the south, they are not quite ready
to repose blind faith in him that he
will continue to do just what is right
They are willing and anxious TO see
his administration prosper. but they are
unwilling to let go all they have gained
in electing democratic house OF rep
resentatives, for the chances that HAYES
will give all they want without asking
Eternal vigilance is the price of liber-
ty, and the people have not so soon
forgotten that Hayes accepted his seat
at the hands of an eight to seven com
mission, and they do not readily lose
sight Of the fact that his appointments
TO office are greatly from the whic-re-
pnblicans, and many of them from the
Blaine and Morton following. II is
well enough for democrats to give
praise 10 the administration for what il
has done toward settling the vexing
questions which have troubled the
country, yet it can hardly be cons strued
as policy to make congress subseryient
to him.

AN AERoL1TE IN SAN FRANcIsco.-on
the evening of the 7th Of December, at
about half-past ten o'clock, two prominent
gentlemen of San Francisco were near the
City Hall, when one of them was startled
by what seemed TO be an unearthly Kissing
sound and a sudden flash of light which
brilliantly ilumined the heavens. Turn
ing round he beheld an immense aerolite
falling, and quick as lightning exclaimed,
"Good heavens is this the lastf" The
other gentleman, startled by the express
ion, asked what was the matter, when his
friend said, "Don't you see that chaos has
commenced Look at the heavens falling"
The person so addressed looked about and
witnessed one OF the most magnificent and
impressive sights he ever beheld. AS the
ball of flaming fire approached the earth it
seemed 10 fall TO pieces and divide into
masses Of living flames, great and small.
The larger and central mass keTt straight
on in its course, md appeared to fall not
more than a couple of miles from the City
Hall, in a southwesterly direction, over
the Pacific ocean. The smaller masses APP
peared 10 be whirled about in fantastic mo-
ton, like feathers in the air. The aerolite
came in slanting direction from the north
east, and was plainly visible TO the gentle
man who first saw it Cor some sixty sec
onds. The gentlemen, in stating the facts
10 the Chronicle, said that the trail of the
fiery mass was visible for two minutes.

Titans and Men.

BLESSED are the meek" exclainls the
voice of inspiration, but can q man be
meek with the consciousness that a dread
ed monster is consuming his vitals. We
are not q race Of Titans. A Prometheus
might stand chained 10 the torturing rock
with vulture perpetually gnawing bis liv-
err, and his face ever wear an expression of
heroic and even meek endurance. But
Prometheus has lefl no descendants. With
vultures (disease) consuming his liver, the
modern man makes himselfand every one
around him miserable. Fretful, gloomy,
hypochondrical, he sees the world and life
all on the wrong side-the dark side-and
whoever dares 10 assert that there is a sun
ny side, he regards as an enemy, or at best
a mocker of his imaginary woes. Unlike
the mythical Titan, the victim of disease is
not succorless. There Is an arm 10 rescue
"a balm TO cleanse and heal. AS remedies
for this most depressing of all Diseases
oliver Complaint, none are more eflic-
ent or popular than DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and Pleasant Purgative
Pellets. The Pellets eflectually remove
the efiete and poisonous matter, while the
Medical Discovery imparis strength and
health TO the entire system. They are sold
by druggists.

Our RECEIPT FOR CURING MEAT.-To
one gallon of water take II pounds of salt,
! pound Of sugar, ! an ounce of saltpetre,
! an ounce Of potash. In this ratio the
pickle can be increased 10 any quantity de-
sired. Let these be boiled together until
all the dirt from the sugar rises TO the top
and is skinned of. Then throw II into q
tub to cool, and when cold, pour it over
your beef or pork. Their must be well
covered with pickle, and should not be put
down for at least two days after killing,
which time 1t should be slightly sprinkled
with powdered saltpetre, which removes
all the surface blood, etc., leaving the meat
fresh and clean. Some omit boiling the
pickle, and find 1t TO answer well, though
the operation of boiling purifes the pickle
by throwing off the dirt always to be found
IN salt and sugar, II this receipt is strictly
followed, 1t will require only single trial
to prove1ts superiority over the common
way or most ways of putting down meat,
and will not soon be abandoned for any
other. The meat is unsurpassed for sweet
ness, delicacy, and freshness of COLOR

FROZEN BITs-AN APPEAL To HosTLERS
AND TEAMsTERs.-Let any one who has
the care OF a horse these cold, frosty morn
ings, deliberately grasp in his hand piece
of iron indeed, let him touch to It the tip
of his tongue, and then let him thrust the
bit into the mouth OF his horse, If he has
the heart to do il. The horse is an animal
of nervous organization. His mouth is
formed of delicate glands and tissues. The
temperature of the blood is the same as in
the human being, and, as in mau, the
mouth is the warmest part of the body.
Imagine, We repeat, the irritation that
would DO caused the human, and consider
that, II not to the same degree, still the suf-
fering TO the animal is very great, and it is
not momentary pain. Food is eaten with
difficulty, and the irritation repeated day
after day causes loss of appetite and loss of
strength. Many horse has become worth
less from no other cause than this. Before
India rubber bits were 10 be had 1, myself,
used a bit covered with leather, and on no
account would have dispensed with it in
freezing weather. But when these are not
to be had, holding the iron in the hand u
moment or two costs but little trouble,
while it saves the horse much pain and
proves great gain in the end.-Cor. BoS-
ton Herald.
