Neither branch of the Legislature has

ize grand lists, and the like, have been

0ne and half bills per member is the
usual allowance for session Of our Legi--
lature, Up to this morning. the printed
House bills numbered l3l and the S,na.s
bills So. About three times this number
may be looked for By an anxious and cx-
pectant public.
Hon. Vim. q. Shaw, OF Burlington, was
before the committee on banks to oppose the
bill taxing deposits in Institutions of say
ings. Two bills on this subject, of substau-
tally the same purport, have been intro
duced, one in the House, and one in the
Senate. The bankers say that the tax pro-
posed is well calculated to wind up the
banks
The resolution TO aid Hiss Abbe NJ. Hem

ing to publish further volumes of the Yer

Senate, but final action has not been taken
upon it. The committee reported amend

the resolution should be adopted, or not

The NewParfy Candidate

Father. who travels the road so late:
Hush. nv child, lis the candidate.
Fit example of human woes
rorly he comes and late he goes;
He sreets the women with courtly grace.
He kisses the baby's dirty face,
He calls to the fence the farmer at work.
He bores the merchant. he bOreS the clerk,
The blacks NTH, while his anvil rings,
He greets, and this Is the song he sings =
"'Howdy, howdy, howdy do:
How is your wife. and how are youE
All, il fits nv fist As no other can,
The horny hand Of the worklngman.
Husband. who is that man at the gate:'
"Hush. nv love! It's the candidate"
Husband, why can't he work like YOU:
IIa, he got nothing at home 10 dO:"
My dear, whenever 4 man is down,
No cash at home, no money i'll town.
Too stupid to preach, too proud TO beg.
Too timid to rob, too lazy to dig.
Then over his horse his legs he filings.
And TO the dear people this song he sings =
Howlv, howdy, howdy do:
How is YOUR wife, and how are you:
All! il fits my fist rs no other can,
The horny hand of the working man.
Brothers who labor early and late.
Ask these things of the candidate:
What's his record? How does he stand
At home: No matter about his hand.
BE il hard or soft. so it be prone
To close over money not his own.
Has he in view no thieving plan:
l. he honest or capable lis he our man.
Cheer such a one till the welkin rings,
Join in the chorus when thus he sings -
"Howdy, howdy, howdy do:
How is YOUR wife. and how are YOU:
All, it fits my fist as no othercan.
The horny hand of the workingman:"

Bon lNGERsoIL on ROBERT BuRNs.-We
must congratulate Col. lngcrsOll on his sub
ject, but not on the manner in which he is
treating it, as he perambulates New England
in tbs lovely autumn weather, and calls upon
his great audiences TO admire Robert Burns
They will do that readily enough, but per-
hars not so much after they have heard his
lecture az before. They do not like 10 be
told that Milton and Dante were solemn old
humbugs. because they wrote long poems,
and that Burns, with his ballads and songs,
is the superior or the equal of these great
poets. Still less do these audiences wish to
he told that Scotch whiskey is better. for
steady drink, than Scotch Calvinism
This is not history nor criticism. but
caricature of both, quite unworthy of
man who. if he would sometimes postpone
his smartness to his sober second thought,
might do something more than amusc
the public. Burns was man of genius,
Il great poet if you please, but no more to be
compared with Milton, Dante and King
David than Col. lngersoll is to be compared
with DemOsthenes and Burke. 1.-The heavens
and the earth, and all that is between
them," says the Koran, "thlnkest thou

Ways Of Cooking tomatoes.

Those who nave eaten tomatoes
stewed by different cooks will be willing
10 admit that there are unpleasant as well
As pleasant varieties OF this dish.

in color. To add to ones disiust, this
abomination will be sweetened with
sugar, Our tavorite way of sLewing
tomatoes is to cook them slowly until
the juices are evaporated sufficiently to
form thick pulp, then season with salt,
pepper and a generous piece OF butter
A very pleasant change is made by
seasoning as above, and thickening
slightly with very fine cracker crumbs
or a little flour mixed with cold water
In the hands Of an unskilful cook the
dish is easily spoiled by the addi-
tion of either -four cracker or crumbs.

stewing.
Baked tomatoes are often relished by
many who will not eat them cooked in
any other way. Select large, smooth
and not over-ripe fruit; cut a piece from
the blossom end and scoop out the pulp +;
mix the latter with stale bread, and
chopped onion which has been fried in
butter until yellow, some minced salt
pork also fried, parsley cut fine; salt
and pepper to taste. Put this dressing
over the pie in pan, stir until hot /;
fill the cavities in the tomatoes with this
mixture, arrange them in dish, place A
bit of butter on each and bake an hour
The quantities depend greatly upon
the the size ofths fruit. For six large
tomatoes a tablespoonful of minced pork.

matoes may be scaloped in 4 large dish
or In small shells. Peel and slice the

salt, pepper and butter on layer. Finish
with crumbs and bake halt an hour. Send
to table in same dish.
BrOiled tomatoes make a dcIi0bIuI
breakfast dish. Cut good-sized. solid TO-
matoes in halves, the largest way; place
on gridiron, cut surface down. Cook for
five minutes or more, according to size;
turn and cook with the skin side down

trying choose tomatoes that are not quite

a delicate breakfast dish, and is made by

be made from tomatoes stewed with on

Women 10 French Eyes.


When Time spares beauty he completes it.
Women do not read they listen with the
eye.
\ woman would sooner rule heart than
fill it not so man.
Friendship between women is only sus-
pension of hostilities.
4 woman need not always recall her age,
but she should never forget it.
A woman listens 10 play with her mind,
and judges it with her senses.
1t takes as much wit not to displease a wo-
man as it takes to please her.
4 woman's friendship is, as rule, the lega-
cy Of love or the aims of indifference.
Heaven gave women tongues TO ask ques-
tions with, and eyes TO give answers with.
1t is surprising how near age brings a
woman to death, and how little If prepares
her for 1t.
The woman who confides to the man her
partiality for another seel-s advice less than
an avowal
We are always anxious to know why We
are loved they only care to know how
much We love them.
In church women think that they receive
because they observe, and that they are
meditating when they are only holding their
tongues.
1t is often more meritorious act for n
woman to allow something good to be said of
another woman than it would be for her to
say it herself
The highest mark Of esteem q woman can
give to a man is to ask his friendship, and
the most signal proof OF her indifference is
to offer him hers
Women attain perfection in but two de-
partments of literature-letters and memoirs
They only write well when they imagine they
are talking.

their lives between the world and the thea
tire poor souls who have only fiction as a
relief from falsehood
She is to be pitied who thinks 10 find a
friend other than her husband if she be a
wife, than her children if she be a mother
than God if she be neither.
As rule women care little for comedy, be-
cause IT makes them enter into themselves
Give them the drama which draws them ont
of themselves.
The jealousies of friendship are in this
more exhausting than those of love there
are only phantoms to fight, and the price of
peace Is merely chimera.
Friendship is picnic TO which all parties
contribute, and therefore is something wo-
men cannot understand With them one
party must stand treat.
Women who would hesitate about CRYING
before husband or q lover have no scruples
about shedding tears before an audience 1t
Is with their emotions with their should
ers-they are only displayed in public.
woman's fall is something like that of
child. The first intimation that the child
has that it has tumbled down is conveyed in
the fact Of its being picked up
Some conjugal fidelities can be explained
on the hypothesis that many woman il
satisfied to be nothing in her husbands
heart so that she is everything in his life
A woman who takes a woman to her friend
introduces her into her life as they do the
bearer of flag of truce into the enemys
camp-unharmed and blindfolded
Man goes to the dogmas woman is salts
fed with the sacraments. Her instinct APP
prehends what his reason is slow to admit /;
that God allows himself to be approached
more readily than to be understood

Hoe Your Own Row.


BY c. A. CASTLE.
There's secret in life
That all have TO learn,
Who would rise in this world,
And a living would earn.
And now if this secret
You're anxious TO know,
I'll cheerfully tell you,
Just hoe yOur own row.
There i many man
Who Is honest and clever.
But so slow in his work
That it takes him forever.
But the man that's successful
And makes business go,
l. the man that goes at it
And hoes his own row.
'Tis good to have friends,
Provided theye'r true,
lis good TO have money,
That helps Il man too.
But the friends and the money
Are certain TO go
ON the side of the man
That hoes out his own row.
I've met in my lifetime
With many man,
Who early in life
Had adopted this plan;
And with nothing TO start,
Made 4 fortune to grow,
And this was the secret
He hOed his own row.
Such men it i true
May get many a blow,
But their foes Will all cease
When they find its no go.
And lifting their hats
They will bow very low
To the man. who in spite of them,
Hoes his own row.

Dear Tweed-Your matters have both
turned up all o. X, but fear your despatch
to Norton damaged US, so it had to go en-
tirely thro' the district, and the Republican
part of il, and fear they have got hold of
it. Everything looks first rate, yet fear old
Vanderbilt is putting in money, and we could
use more to advantage l can assure you.
We are fighting still fight, and have got
them beyond hope, unless old V. comes down
BY the tens Of thousands. That party ought
to put in more, and Hayes said he thought
they would, but have had nothing from
them. Have not wasted q moment in ten
days. Norton is away. Should anything
else be sent to US, send to me at same place,
and telegraph me in some blind way, and in
James Hayes name, or some of your boys
that know. Say, "Trade closed on five
months time or something of that kind.
All can say is, we think VIC are sure, and

against US, but we could make it doublY
