Pots and Pans.

Utensils for boiling purposes have
undergone little modification in shape
from the remotest times to the present
day. The reason for this is not far to
seek. Water heated in round vessel
with upright sides would soon boil over,
whereas when treated in pot whose
sides incline inward toward the top, the
bubbling waves of the liquid have a
tendency to common center, and usual
ly waste themselves in conflict with
each other. Thus the cauldron, kettle
and saucepan have in all ages and all
nations much similarity in form. With
regard to material, no doubt the earliest
pots and pans consisted of such natural
objects as adapted themselves to the
requirements of cooking-as the gourd,
pipkin, cocoanut shell and the ike-and
among savage tribes these are still
employed for the purpose. In course of
time vessels of clay came into service,
and afterwards metal was brought into
requisition. The old Egyptians had
pots precisely like the modern saucepan,
and their larger utensils we're furnished
with the well-known ears and feet which
may yet be seen in some of the home
steads of our country. Shakespeare
makes 'the secret, black, and midnight
hags" in Macbeth" use cauldron of
this description, and it will be remem-
bered that the savory mess with which
the more respectable Meg Merrilies ap
peased the hunger of worthy Dominic
Sampson was dished from ike vessel.

Mexican Beauties.

ALI the social upheavals in Mexico for
the past sixty years have failed to mingle
the blood of the Indians with the blue
blood of certain element of their con-
querors and descendants of the con-
querors. This is the guerra element,
which has held it's own inviolate amidst
the surging passions surrounding it,
amidst temptations which nothing but a
naughty pride of race would or could
have resisted. There are two types of
gueras. The first has some very distinct
characteristics. The face is spirituelle,
and has that subdued expression which
invariably results from religious medita-
ton, and in color is white as alabaster.
The flesh is faultlessly white, tinged
with refined but healthy pallidness.
The eyes are usually dark, large and
lustrous, and the hair abundant and
black as the ravens wing. The teeth
are perfect, and white as snowfakes.
The "rubias," the second type, are
superb specimens of womanhood, and
are so called because they have auburn
or golden hair, which in some instances
runs into a flaming rich red color. The
eyes are often deep blue, and soft and
entreating in their expression. The
flesh has sunset tinge to it which in
dicates more warm and sensuous
nature than that of the paler-hued wo-
men. Near the town of Aqua Caliente,
State of Sinaloa, there is a village of
rubias, the young women of which are
matchless in their style of beauty. Tall
and graceful, they move about, the very
symbols of the poetry of motion. They
have something in their manner and style
similar to the higher classes of Russian
women, and whom they greatly resem-
BILE. The rubias, like the gueras, live
mostly in the interior, where the climate
is more mild and genial, while the dark
races inhabit the hot regions along the
coast.

When we DemoraIIze the stomach

"neu we D6mOTultZc tue STOMACH
By excuses or imprudence in eating, we can
not hope to escape the consequences for any
great length Of time. The most robust diges-
ton must succumb TO abuses of that important
function. But supposing that we have been
foolish enough to enfeeble the stomach, is the
damage irreparable? By no means. The dys-
peptic has only to do two things to insure his
ultimate recovery. First he should adopt an
easily digestible diet. Second, he should use
with regularity and persistence Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, the leading gastric invigorant
of the age. The multiform symptoms of dys
pepsia, and the almost invariably attendant
disorders, biliousness and constipation, will
assuredly cease to persecute the sufferer if the
above advice is attended to. Who that has
suffered the torments that chronic indigestion
inficts will neglect to take advantage of q
remedy which, if the most positive evidence OF
the medical profession and the public is to be
received with due crcdence, is an absolute spe-
ciic for the complaint.

Every Democrat in Montgomery county,
and Republican too who has sickened at the
scandalous record of the Republican party
and wants honesty, should feel deep pride in
her son, Hon. Geo. Peter, the congressional
nominee, since he has in the other counties of
the district made favorable impression or
the people of his capabilities TO fill the posi-
ton to which he aspires. Mr.. Peter was in
Washington county last week canvassing, and
the Nail contains the following relating to
him:
1.-THE Hon. George Peter, OF Montgomery
county, the nominee of the Democracy, was
10 our citizens an entire stranger, and through
inaccurate reports by the county press in the
Western portion of the congressional district
which inaccuracies were subsequently cor
rected, 1t was apprehended, particularly by
those intent upon his defeat, that his appear
ancs and reception upon this stage would be
fact, and we say 1t with unassumed satsfac-
ZION, no nominee Of our party for the dstin-
guished position for which Mr.. Peter is named,
has ever borne himself more properly or in so
short time more completely won the respect
Of our people than has Mr.. Peter. Plain, un-
assuming, frank ana hearty in his personal
department, and of presence aud address ex-
csedingly pleasing to the people, the very
first impressions be made were decidedly
favorable and prepossessed his audience in his
favor

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Oct. 81, 1873.
N,. Editor Before the political contest,
which is agtatng our people, comes off,
would say to them not to trust too much to
promises, but TO see that all of the needy have
a way to get to the polls, and that our colored
peopIe who wish to vote with us are not de-
prived therefron by our willy foes who talk
and act as if all laws and negroes were made
for the perpetuaton of their own fraudulent
ends. Let US rally as one man and work as
we have never worked before for the success of
our party; which believes all Of its represen-
tatives should so legislate that it may rebound
10 the welfare of the greatest number of our
citizens, regardless of what Republican il may
deprive of office or what worthy Democrat it
may put in the vacant place. We want to see
the whole shoal of sharks removed from the
waters, that the good old ship Constitution
has TO sail in, and to do that we must con
Time our solid Democratic representation, so
that they will be on hand TO help to guide her
in the harbor, that is being prepared for her
reception, and after we have her differed and
manned by trusty crew with He.daicks Of
Indiana, or some other true and tried Demo-
crat at the helm, il will be time enough TO
say, whether she shall be repated with green
backs or solid gold and silver. The question
to my mind is 10 pay all the liabilities which
she may in justice owe to the citizens in either
section, and if gold and silver does not suit
our people we can make all necessary changes
inside of our own fold better than it can be
done by our opponents, whether they sail un-
der a banner of green or hateful black Think

which has been the main anchor of this down
trodden and storm tossed country for many
long and weary years Let us right all the
wrongs as we come TO them AS our fathers did
of yore. The Democratic party was good
enough for them in their palmiest days and |

say to the standard-bearer Of the Sixth Dis
trict TO fear not, for the high and low, rich and
poor, young aud old are awakening 10 the all
important duty of having a solid Democratic
representation in the coming Congress from
this good old State, and all working like
patriots for they know no such word as fail.
The glad news comes 10 us on every breeze

MYSTERIOUS CIRCULAR.

On Tuesday night last, small hand-bills,
annou ncing a meeting Of Greenbackers in this
place on the 25th instant, (to-day) were mys-
teriously circul,te in town. The meeting is
to be addressed by one D. O.. Wilmer and
others of the party, and the little circular was
signed "by order of Committee" Now who
the said COMMITTEE" consists of is a mystery
to our citizens as no one of any political in
huence in this county has identified himself
openly with the great party Of Ben Butler &
Co. In fact, in times not far gone, few men
of character about here would have anything
to do, even politically with this noted thief
and insulter of Southern women.
So far as the strength of this new party is
concerned in this county it will not be drop
in the bucket when the votes come to be count
ed, and the majority of those who vote for
the new party will not be actuated by princi-
pie or hope of success, but by personal hatred.
Perhaps some of them will feel ''green" when
they get "back" into the good old Demo-
cratic party.

That Band Premium.

Mr. Editor THE members of the Pooes-
vile Brass Band beg leave through your col
umns to protest against the finding Of the
committee on music of the Agricultural Society
on the closing day of the Rockville Fair
They disclaim any desire to pronounce an Of
fetal opinion of their excellence as band over
any other band present at the Fair, but at the
same time they cannot rate their own intelli-
gence so low as to be, in fact, ignorant of
superiority that was patent 10 every one ex-
cept the aforesaid committee. What standard
of excellence the committee based their finding
on, or what spirit or spirits animated them in
so doing, the band does not pretend to know
or say and they are still more puzzled to
conceive how the committee decided to dioide
the premium, for there certainly was no such
delicate similarity in the two bands playing
rs TO cause such scrupulous indecsion. The
Poolesvile band accepts the inability on the
part of the committee to decide as sonfession
that they, the committee, were incapable of
dscharging the duties required of them, and
therefore, refuse to recognize the award as
anything else than gratutoUs insult. In so
doing they do not wish in any way TO reflect
upon any regular officer of the Society or up
on any Of the bands with which they came in
composition.
By ORDER OF THE BAND.
