1he unfortunate split in the demo
cratic party in New York, at the recent
State convention at Syracuse, is simply
islisgraceful. There was not the slinlit-
est excuse for IT, and The insolcnt de
'elaration of John Kelly, the leader of
the boiling Iammany delegation, and
ITS nominee for governor, that he knew
he could not be elected, lint that
2 republican victory would lbesn victory
for Iammany hall over its opponents
IN the democratic party, will, we trust,
dig the political grave Of thisnotorions
'disorganizcr SO deep that he will never
rise from it to again divide and disor-
iganize the New York democracy.
Previous to the crushing defeat of
Kelly and the Tanmany hall organiza-
ftion, in 1876, BY ,John Morrissey, the
influence Of that organization, and its
lpowerin the councils Of the democracy
of New York, were practically invinci-
Bile, and under Kelly's leadership hts
power was sequalled only by its AFRO
gance. AS the avowetltenemys of Sam
mel .. Tilden, Kelly came very near
ldisrlpting the party at the st. Louis
convention. bitterly opposed to gov
ernor Robinson, of New York, appa-
rently for mo better reason than that
he was preferred by Tiltien, Rohinson's
denomination at Syracuse is KelIy's
sole reason for the withdrawal of the
Tammany delegation, and for iinaugur-
ating the suicidal actionsof tthenomina-
ltion of two State democraticfickets at
a time when the only possible chance
for the democracy to carry New York
isfor theparty to lbetunited andlharmo-
nions in the support of a single ticket.
The disastrous resultssof Kelly i'm
.sribordination are almostlinconceivablc.
1t is already conceded that it viii re-
suit in an easy victory for the repttb-
licans in the State election, but tthisiis
of small moment compared with the
evils WHICH win result to tire entire
country from such d VICTORY. New

Itoral college, and occupies the novel
position of lbeingithe pivotal State, and
Igyet most uncertain State IN presi-

a republican victory this wear will de-
Irmoralize and disheartentthe democracy,
already idemoraliaed by the Tammany

confidence, and enthusiasm, and insure
unity and harmony in the republican

Five years ago There were but 1000
Jews in Jerusalem, but since then the
Hebrew population of that city has
fully doubled. The Jews have, in the
meantime, got possession of a great
deal of property in the neighborhood,
and are now the most prosperous class
of the community. They receive large

Louisiana, with her vast extent OF

To fry fish.-Sweet, fat salt pork should be
tried out, in which to fry fl esh fish. Nothing
gives the fish a better flavor.
To sweater sour milk.-Milk which has
been soured by heat can be made sweet by
mixing with it a small quantity of cooking
soda.
For oiling walnut furniture Raw linseed
oil rubbed with a flannel cloth, then polish
with a dry piece Of flannel be careful not to
put too much OH.
To can rhubarb.-Clean and slice as for
pies ; put in a glass bottle ; ill I'D With water
and SEAL. Do not cork it. Try it, it is much
better than cooked.
Burns and scalds.-Every family should
have a preparation Of t1axseed oil, chalk and
vinegar, about the consistency of thick paint,
constantly on hand for burns and scalds.
To cure a felon.-Equal parts of soft soap
and quick-li,ne made into paste ; apply to the
telon and renew whenever dry. 1t will cause
pain If the felon has progressed much, but it
is a sure cure.
Vegetables Don't wash VEGETABLES until
just before you are ready to cook them. The
earth is a preservative and absorbent Of the
volatile element Of the root, which, as soon as
washed, evaporates rapidly into the air and is
lost.
The vitality of seeds may be tested by
placing a sample of almost any OF the larger
seeds or grains on a hot pan or griddle; when
the vitality is perfect, the grain will pop or
crack open with more or less noise. When
the vitality is gone or defective, it remains
immovable.

A Michigan lady writes to Mr.. Wick, the

out injury to fuchsias, geraniums, callas
and other tender plants.
Totake out grease spots.-Asimple recipe to

Sick headache.--This distressing complaint

Amusement for the Children.

On rainy days the active child resents its
confinement within doors. and is more than
usually troublesome. We know OF nothing
which will afford him surcr amusement than
The making Of scrap books. Provide the lit
Gle ones with u pair of blunt pointed scissors,
aid let them cut ont and trim neatly the pic
sures from papers you do not care to preserve,
circulars OF farm machinery, or anything they
ta,lcy, and then, armed with a cup Of boiled
starch and - toothbrush (f you have one). let
shem exercise their ingenuity III filling the
book with their collections. Quite small
children find enchantment in this kind Of
sork. a large picture may b. put in the
center Of the page, and the space around 1t
filled with small ones and short pieces Of pose
and poetry. We have seen very pretty orna-
ments for these Juvenile scrap hooks cut ont
VI illustrated books for children which had
become badly tattered with Use, so that the
pictures were all that were worth preserving.
When two pages are full the book should be
left open until dry before going on. This
amusement need not make much litter about
II house, and the little workers can easily
learn to pick up their scattering scraps after
themselves, and wash the starch cup amt
brush after using it. SO .ha. i, will be read,
for the next rainy day.
