How Little Girl Faced Death.

Willie, a bright little daughter of Mr..
L. w. Walton, died recently at her ia
theirs residence, near Roanoke, in the
seventh year of her age. Little Willie
had been sick long time, yet she bore
her atfiiction with all the patience and
fortitude of one much older. On the
day of her death she called her little
brother and sister around her and di-
vided between them her toys. She lin
gered until seven o'clock in the even
ing, without the least apparent change,
in a perfectly conscious condition, talk
ing to those around her. She counted
the strokes as the clock struck seven,
and when it had finished she turned to
her father and said: Spa, l will never
hear the clock strike again; give me an
apple" The apple was given her, and,
after eating a piece of it, she began
talking of dying, expressing great
aversion to being put under the ground
after death. She was assured that only
her body was buried-that the spirit
left the body and went to heaven. This
seemed to give her great relief, and
again addressing her father, she said
" Is ma watching for me in heaven?"
and, on being assured that she was, she
said: "Turn me over, then, and let me
die" She was tenderly turned on her
side and spoke no more. The clock
tolled eight all the same, but little Will
lie never heard it-she was dead

Preserving Furs in Summer.

If you delay putting them away till
June, examine the furs well, and shake
and beat very thoroughly, in order that
any moth-eggs that may possibly have
been laid in them may be thoroughly
removed or killed. Furs sealed up in
May need no champion or tobacco, or
other preventive" Muff and tippet
boxes should be tied up securely in
bags, or mode safe by mending holes
or pasting strip of paper around the
junction of the cover with the box be-
low, so as to close all openings. Wool
en- garments must not hang in closets
through the summer, in parts of the
country where moths abound. They
should be packed away in tight trunks
or boxes, or sealed up in bags. Wool
en- blankets must be well shaken and
carefully put away, unless they are in
daily use. Early in June the larvae of
the moth begin their ravages, and now,
unless you who dwell in places where
clothes-moths are not found, look sharp;
you will find some precious thing that
you have forgotten some good coat
unused for a few weeks, or the wooden
cover of a neglected piano, already
more or less riddled by the voracious
moths. 1t is their nature to eat until
they have grown strong enough to re-
tire from the eating business, and go
into the chrysalis condition. Some
things cannot well be packed away in
tight boxes and bags, and among these
1t is well to scatter small Jumps of
camphor or clippings of Russia leather.
Some use tobacco, though camphor is
usually preferred. 1t is said that pow
dered black pepper, scattered under the
edge of carpets, will preserve them
from attacks. DR.. Harris says that
" the cloth lining of carriages can be
secured forever from their ravages by
being washed or sponged on both sides
by solution of corrosive sublimate in
alcohol, made just strong enough to
leave white stain on a black feather"

The following suggestions in regard
to packing butter for this market may
prove beneficial to those interested.
The style of the package has more to
do with the sale than most shippers are
aware of. In this market there is de-
cided preference for neat, Eastern
made white ash or spruce tub, netting
from thirty to sixty pounds, and it al
ways sells the readiest. The tubs should
be well soaked in brine before filling,
the butter packed solidly, and filled
within a quarter of an inch of the top
of the tub. Cover the top with a piece
of clean, new, bleached cotton cloth
soaked in brine and tucked neatly down
at the edge. In packing butter and get
ting it ready for market, neatness is in
dispensable, and, besides that, it pays.
Never pack two colors in the same
package. Light-colored or streaked
butter always sells hard and at low
prices. Use the finest salt you can get.
Tare your tubs correctly and allow one
pound soakage, as it saves trouble all
around, the time having gone by when
wood, salt and pickle can be sold as
butter.-BoStOm Produce Exchange.

A Fruit Evaporation.

There are several forms of these fruit
evaporators, but this is the Oldest, and
is good type of them all. The APP
paratus that has been described con-
sists essentially of an upright wooden
shaft or tower erected in a three-story
building. At the base is some form of
hot-air furnace, with proper inlets for
fresh air. The air passes over the
furnace, becomes heated, and ascends
through the shaft and escapes at the
top of the tower. When the tempera-
ture of the interior ranges from 250 to
800 degrees Fahrenheit, tray of fresh
fruit is suspended on the elevatinp
chains Just above the furnace. At this
temperature the fruit would be cooked
instead of dried were it not for the fact
that it is dripping with moisture. 1t is
bathed in steaming vapor and begins
to dry, not on the outside, but from the
inside first. The air, saturated with
water, keeps the pores of the fruit open
and the surface unchanged There is
no formation of a hard, dry and dis
colored skin, as when fruit is dried in
the open air. In this high tempera-
ture, in few minutes, the fruit would
begin to cook; but before this can hap-
pen the elevating chains are moved and
the tray is raised about thirteen cent?
meters Give inches), and another trav
is placed below it. The first trav Is
now shaded from the direct heat and
the lower tray gives off clouds of vapor
that rise and battle the fruit above in
hot and steaming atmosphere. In
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1878-06-29

certain number of minutes, regulated
by the heat, the kind and quality of the
fruit, and the state of the weather, the
two trays are raised another thirteen
centimeters, and another fresh lot of
fruit is inserted below. The first lot is
still more shaded from the heat, but re-
mains in an atmosphere saturated with
moisture from the new supplies below.
Thus the fruit rises a few centimeters
every ten or fifteen minutes, moving
continually away from the fire, and yet
always bathed in vapor from the fruit
under it. In from four to six hours it
rises to the top of the shaft, and is by
this time finished. 1t has parted with all
its water, and has undergone an entire
change in its nature. When fresh, four
fifths of theripe peach consisted of water.
1t also contained certain percentage
of acids and certain proportion of
sugar, starch, and other chemical con-
stituents. After passing through the
evaporator it is reduced to four-ffths
of its original weight, the loss being
almost wholly in water. The fibrous
skeleton of the fruit remains, but the
acids are reduced and the sugar has in
creased in quantity. The other portions
starch, etc.-are nearly unchanged,
the color is retained, and there is still
trace of the fragrance of the ripe
fruit. The process the fruit has passed
through seems to resemble a supple
mentary ripening. The familiar in
stance of the after-ripening of winter
pears in dark closet, where the hard
and sour pear becomes sweet, juicy and
mellow, may serve to illustrate the
chemical change that takes place in
this process. The evaporated peach is
dry, but ripper and sweeter than when
fresh. Every valuable quality of the
fruit is retained; the water alone has
been extracted. Soak the dry peach in
enough cold water to cover it and it
assumes its natural size and flavor. 1t
is then practically ripe peach, with
the water restored. 1t makes no diff
ference when the water is replaced, it
may be now, next year, or ten years
hence, in this or any other climate;
add the water to the dry peach at any
time, and it may be cooked and eaten
in any form that fancy dictates. -ChaS.

Cutting Hay Early.

If, by any words of ours, we could
convince the farmers of New England
that they should and could cut their
hay, on an average, ten days earlier
every year than they now do, and could
induce them to act accordingly, we be-
lieve we should do them greater service
than if we paid their State, town and
county taxes. This is a strong state
ment, but we believe it is true. But
here is one much stronger Mr.. j. C.
Sherburne, in paper read before the
Vermont State Board of Agriculture,
gave utterance to the following start
ling words: after careful considera-
ton, knowing the unsurpassed excel
lence of early-cut hay, / make this state
ment without hesitation: If the entire
hay-crop of the State could be secured
at the best possible time, it's value,
when fed, would exceed the worth of
the hay now obtained, together with all
the grain raised in the State which is
fed in connection with the hay ."-Neoo

Sweet is the voice that calls
From babbing waterfalls
In meadows where the downy seeds are flying;
And soft the breeZes blow
And eddying come and go
In faded gardens where the rose is dying.
Among the stubbled
The blithe quail pipes at morn,
The merry partridge drums in hidden places,
And glittering insects gleam
Above the reedy stream,
Where busy spiders spin their fl mSy laces.
At eve cool shadows fall
Across the garden WALL
And on the clustered - .peS in purple turning
And pearly vapors lie
Along the eastern sky
Where the broad harvest moon is redly burning.

To fly from frost and snow,
And seek for lands where blow
The fairer blossoms of a balmier Gather.

"A Famous Victory

At the Maine election in 1877, the
Democratic candidate for Governor had
42,l votes; in 1878, the Democratic
candidate had 10000 votes or 1914 less
than the party polled one year before.
The Republican candidate, in 1877. had
53 63i; in 1878, he had IS, 900, or about
1900 more than he had the year before
Yet some of the Democratic papers think
that this result is something to hurrah
over. Since the election in Maine, the
World has appeared with a series of
broad grins breaking out all over its
morning face, as if it was nightly tickled
by the result Each day its irrepressible
mirth bursts out in a series of quips and
jests relating to Maine, and Blaine, and
Hale, and all the rest OF the Republicans

him.

selects him his chief fugIeman. Voter, do
you comprehend?
And again he says:
First, to Mr.. Emmitt we propose to say
that he is the man of all men the most obnoX-
iouS to the laboring men of this county. 1t is
well known fact that he always gets his work
done for less money than any of his neighbors.
Take the present farming season for example
less wages than Kilgore, Hibbens Steinhour
and others paid their men, besides furn ishing
board. For instance, during wheat and barley
harvest he paid his men so to 80 cents per day,
and they boarded themselves, while his neign :
bors Were paying 81 to SIPS, and giving board
and lodging. In this way he has wrung his
vast fortune out of the sweat and blood of the
poor laboringman. Emmitt is no friend to the
poor.
Now we would like to know if this is really
true. We can scarcely believe it. We have
worked many day in the harvest field, and
know what it is to toll III the burning sunshine.
We have six men in our employ, at the easy
work of a printer, (all our hard work is done
by machinery and they have nice comforta-
bic room in which to work, and the lowest
wages we pay any of them is ST. per day,
while several of them, who work by the thou

rendered on one charge that he might
try him on another. But the proof OF
Wade Hampton's attainmeet of the pro
portion of colossal fraud is in the evil
dence recently published in the New
York Tribune.
The kilograms of the leaders of the
rifle clubs, printed by the Tribune, dis.
close Wade Hampton's completely with
the rebel conspiracy in South Carolina,
through the success Of which the fraudu,
lent pretense of beirg Governor became
available Those rebel Democratic Thugs
were called from various parts of the
State to assemble at the fair grounds in
Columbus. In one of the kilograms is a
confession of a number of assassinations
by single rebel Thug, and every tele-
gram smacks of murder. Now it appears
the gentleness of Hampton is ruffied, be-
cause the Republican State convention
recently passed a resolution that terror
ism elected (O Hampton in 1876, and that
the fear of rifle clubs would prevent Re-
publicans from electing a State ticket in
1878" Every word of this is true. Only
Democrats were allowed to vote, or Re-

Democratic ticket with revolver at their
heads
The same outrages will be perpetrated,
with the same results. Hampton whined,
like the hypocrite he is, in a recent
speech at Edgefeld Court House, sur
rounded by armed Democratic ruffians
but NJ. G. Butler, who is charged with
the murder of Republicans at Hamburg

seize upon the control of the nation. 1t
makes the blood broil in the veins OF
American freemen that men of this class
should have hoated to the surface and
been able to do much injury.
Will not the Republican party arouse
itself and go forth in its might and con-
science, and cast its ballot, without one
absentee, to make rebels take back seats
and hurl Wade Hampton, the Governor,

had no chance.
None of these notable men were willing
to have their past humility forgotten or
put out of sight. But none of them, nor
any of all the host of other Americans
like them, ever boasted that they had
achieved greatness because they were
laboring men. We are not to be troub-
led with this mock modesty any more.
Men are to be the leading candidates for
offices on the basis of mechanical employ
ments. The old Jeffersonian test of fit
ness. capability, and honesty is to be
done away with, and the only requisite for
the highest Office will be the candidates

edged that there is no honesty except in
the new aristocracy of labor. If we are
to have thoroughly impeccable and
honest House of Representatives, let it
be chiefly composed of plumbers. They,
at least, would be above suspicion. We
are not certain whether tailors are in
cluded in the favored caste which is to
control offices, to the exclusion of college
consumptives and Shiny imps but, if
they are, we are confident that as public
officials their veracity will be unimpeach-
able. They always keep their word
But there should be no jarring among
the trades. If man works with his
hands, and not with his brain, he be-
longs to a caste which should control
public affairs-the governing class Here
tofore, the course has been open to all,
without regard to any artificial distinc-
tions of rank. The high-born, as well as
the low-born, have had a chance. That
day of weakness is past. Henceforth,
the only qualification for official and So
cial preferment is that he should be a
manual laborer No others need apply.
