Dried Celery and Parsley.

If you ever use celery, wash the
leaves, stalks, roots and trimmings
and put them in q cool oven to dry
thoroughly; then crate the root and
rub the leaves and stalks through
sieve, aud put all into tightly corked
bottle or tin can with close cover; this
m axes a most delicious seasoning fo'
soups, stews and stufiing. When you
use parsley, save every bit of 1t, stalk

CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS.

We have aimed to keep out of any
complications or pledges as to the candi-
date for Congress in this district. But
now come several gentlemen and say
that we favor Clark. Our little item last
week did look in that direction. The
following are the reasons why we wrote
that little article: 1t was currently re-
ported that Mr.. Neal did not desire the
In Scioto county the Re-
publicans were said to be divided, Dan
Mcfarland being candidate, and por-
ton of the Republicans fighting him.
Gen. Hurst will not be candidate.
There are no candidates in Jackson or
Pike. Mr.. Clark is strong, popular
man, and there is no faction opposing
him. Under all these circumstances, we
thought he would be the best man; but
now Mr.. Neal has got home, and earnest
ly desires the nomination. This changes
the whole matter.
Let the other counties agree and give
US a good man, and we think this county
will do her whole duty.

Letter From Iowa.
BERLIN, O., July 5th. 1878.

LEON, June 29th, 1878.
To the Editor of the Standard
Hoping a few words from the West
will please your many readers, we take
up our pencil to note few things.
The crop prospect was never more Hat
tering in the West than it is at this time.
Harvest has commenced, and the winter
wheat and rye is all our farmers can ask,
and the spring wheat and oats bid fair to
be excellent Meadows are heavy, and
the crop of all kinds Of vegetables and
fruits will have no equal. The prairies
that are not in cultivation are covered
with a dense green sward, dotted with
innumerable flowers The corn crop
will be the largest ever raised in the
West, and taking it all in all, the out
look here is bright one, and should
nothing happen to the crops, the West
will have large surplus to dispose of in
the coming fall and winter, which will
be great source of comfort to them and
their friends in the East.
The political chaldron has commenced
to boil in our State, and bids fair to cook
the last bone of the Democratic party.
Your humble servant was a witness of
the Republican State Convention OF
Iowa, and when the name Of the old
war horse Grant was mentioned, the
very house trembled with the wild ap-
plause. We say look out for Grant in
1880.
There is the funniest courtship goin g
on in our State you could imagine. 1t is
the effort of the Democrats to marry the
Greenback party The Democrats want
the G.. B. s TO be the woman, and promise
to "obey," &c, but they wont agree to
that, but want it the other way; that is,
for the Democrats to be the woman, and
promise to "obey," and the prospects are
that the wedding will not come off very
much or very soon. You will see by
looking over the reports of all the con-
ventions in Iowa, that the "Old Granny
in the White House does not even re-
ceive one word from either party, What
must be the feelings of the President OF
this great Republic, when he realizes
that the most humble citizen holds him
in utter contempt. Certainly the way
of the transgressor is hard. There is nc
todyism in Iowa; all we in the West
have to say, is, let him alone with his
idols. In the future we will try and re
place him with man worthy to fill the
seat he will be compelled to vacate, Tc

ty we send the kindest greeting, and are
panied to hear of the loss you have sus
tanned in the death of your esteemed
townsman and Representative, DR.. Mon

The leading political editorial in the
last number of Harper's Weekly, took
the monstrous ground taken by Stanley
Matthews in his speech at this place last
fall-that might makes right, and that
there is no power any where to guarantee
a republican form Of Government to each
State, or to enforce the amendments to
the Constitution, or to protect negroes or
Republicans in their political rights, or
in life or property Now We say that
such Government is the worst kind Of
anarchy and is thousand times worse
than the most absolute despotism. Such
sham Government should be over
thrown at once. 1t deserves the con
tempt OF every honest man. 1t is ''the
laughing-stock of devils and of men"
The Hayes papers all have to subscribe
to this monstrous theory of Government,
in order in any way to apologize for the
sham in the White House.
In order to show the practical work
ings of this new Interpretation of States

the Cincinnati Gazette-a Hayes paper.

The Ohio Statesman gives the Demo
Gratis of the Columbus district some ad-
vice which it would be we'll for the Re
publicans of our district to heed. The
Statesman says:
"The coming Congress may be called up
on to elect the next President. In view Of
such possibility the capital district of
Ohio cannot afford to be represented by
a second or third rate man. We want to
be represented by man who can be
heard and felt-a man of commanding
influence as we'll as one true to Demo-
cratic principles. The people of this dis
trict mnst select their man, if the right
man is to be secured. To allow an aspir-
ing candidate to foist himself upon the
party would be to secure the wrong man.
Geographical location. second term and
all that sort of consideration has no place
in influencing the choice Of our congress
sonal candidate this year. We want to
take no risks. Congressional votes have
possible value, in the contingency of
Presidential troubles, that should pre-
vent all trifing in the making of the
nominations. We want the man who is
strongest,for the race and ablest for the
duty when it is won"

Armed Combinations to Resist Revenue
Oficers-The Government Powerless
Unless Armed in Sixty Southern Coun-
ties-A Grave Situation
And here is an extract from his letter,
occupying column in the Gazette:
Lest it may be charged that this is an
exaggerated statement of the open and
organized resistance to the revenue laws
in the South, it is proper to say that re-
ports from the various infested districts,
dated within q fortnight show that in
nine districts, in the South there are
about sixty counties, scattered through
eight States, where the revenue can not
be collected without an armed force, and
that in at least forty of these armed COM
binations exist to resist the law.
Coupled with this condition of affairs
is the active support given in several sec
tions by the local authorities to those
who defy the national government and
the cordial sympathy which whole COM
munities give to the law breakers. These
must form the basis of other letters.

Yesterday witnessed as delightful a
scene as one could wish to see. We had
q Sunday school celebration here, held
in Mr.. Stewards Grove. The Sunday
school was marched from the church to
the grounds under the guidance of their
worthy Superintendent, Mr.. John Poor,
the procession being headed by the brass
band of Wellston. The exercises were
splendid, consisting in the forenoon of
singing by the Sunday school, led by Mr..
c. C. Keenan,, an excellent address by
Mr.. JAS E. Kinnison, singing by the
"Veterans" led by Mr.. Stephen Vaughn ,
a sketch from the Character of Presi-
dent Lincoln" read by Mr.. g. W. G. Poor,
singing by the Sunday an address
by Rev. B. Thomas, the whole inter
spersed with music by the band; and so
on almost ad in1fnitum until dinner time,
After dinner we had singing by Mr.. J
w. Hank, band music, addresses by Prof.
H. F. Wogan of Randall Academy, and
Prof. Ripley Kinnison of Norwalk, Ohio.
Thus passed away pleasant day, for
every thing was quiet and peaceful, no
disturbance Of any kind in q great mea-
sure due to Messrs. Dempsey and Me
Keever who agreed not to sell any
liquor on that day. Nothing stronger
than ice-water and lemonade was on the
grounds, therefore nobody got crooked,
but every one went home feeling much
benefited Yesterday was a day that
will long remain fresh in the memory Of
those who were present.
