Strange News from Homo by tho
Way Of Washington.

WASHINGTON, September 30.-Dstrict
Attorney Northrop, Of South Carolina, is
in Washington. He says that, notwith~
standing tho two or three recent political
murders and attempts at murder, matters
are remarkably quiet for that latitude. The
only topic that creates any particular cx-
citemcnt ut present is the approaching mu.
nicipal election in Charleston, aud tho only
feature Of that event which requires much
consideration by tho Democrats is how to
keep the coored men from voting. The
plan most 10 favor is to make tho noninn-
tions in the primaries, to which none but
white Democrats will be admitted, and then
occt in the usual manner. There is, how.
over, split, and a serious one, in the De-
mocracy, and this promises to let the Re-
publicaDs in in favor Of one of the Demo.
cratic factions, if not for candidate of
their own.
Mr. Northrop says that tho State courts
nre entirely in the hands of the Democrats,
aud it is utterly useless for any Republican
to hope for justice in any of thcm if the
case involves any political features. There
is, however, dawning manifestation of a
radical change in the attitude of the Do
mocracy, and this is brought about simply
by the public scutimcnt which has been
raised nt tho North by the reports Of South.
crn outragcs. The Democratic leaders arc
getting alarmed by tho prospect Of speedy
retribution, and this fact alone is serving to
procure for colored Republicans some of
their political rights. Encouraged by the
outlook, Mr.. Northrop says the Rcpubli.
cans have organized all over the State for
the next national campaign, and will put
candidates for Congress in the field in Mt
least three districts, with the confident cx.
pcctation of elcc,inS them
MIR. Northrop declares that only hy the
realization Of tho hopes of the most stal.
wart members Of the Republican party can
tho South be claimed from its present cons
diticn of semi har5arism.-- lfuslingiom
Cor. Of The Baltimore Morning Ucra7d.
WAsIlNGToN, October "A letter has
been received here FROM NJ. II. Bryce, Of
Walhalla, S. G., brother Of the late Alex
andcr Bryce, who was assassnated in q
cowardly manner by Democratic nightsri
dcrs month ago, requesting the uid of
South Carolina Republicans in this city in
raising funds for the purpose Of retaining
counsel to assist the State Attorney in
bringing the mu,dorcrs to justice. The letter
was responded TO Immediately, and MIR. Bryce
was informed that his request would be
complied with so far as the money was con
ccrncd, but it must be distinctly under
stood that no part Of the money contributed
shall be paid to any Democratic lawyer.
Mr.. Bryce was advised to secure the scr.
vices of Hon. Martin T.. Townsend, of New
York. Strange as it may seem, there arc
few, if any, Republican lawyers of any
note in South Carolina, and Republicans,
whether they be white or colorcd arc
forced to trust their causes in the hands of
political opponents.

Preserving Pumpkins.

Pumpkins adapted to culinary purposes
can bepreserved not only all winter, but up
to the following summer, which is perhaps
longer than may be desired But for winter
pumpkin pie is not excelled for delicious
ness by any other, If the cook knows as well
how to make them as every one should.
Some persons use it also as sauce, and 1t is
very good sauce if properly prepared
When we were in the habit Of preserving the
pumpkin we selected the yankee Squash" +"
as it was called, but other good kinds will no
doubt answer as well. These we placed on a
scaffolding put up in the cellar, allowing
them to lie side by side, but only in a single
layer We used them as needed through the
winter, and found that from dozen to a
dozen and a half were ample to supply the
family as long as we cared for them. On two
occasions we kept one or two over to discover
how long they would keep, and we found
them in good condition in August, but that
was about the end of their time.

ROSAMOND.
BY Q. r. CRANCH.

In the fragrant bright June morning, Rosamond
the queen Of girls,
Down the marble door-steps loiters, radiant with
her sunny curls;
Ger the greensward, through the garden, passes
to the rivers brink.
Throws away an old bouquet. and wonders II twill
float or sink.
Then returning through the garden, round and
round the lawn sne goes,
Singing as she cuts fresh roses-she herself Ler
worlds fair rose
In her dainty morning robe, and straw hat shading
half her face,
Picturesque in form and feature lovely in her youth
and grace;
In her hand little dagger, sharp and gltterlng In
Rining hearts fthorny bushes, cutting roses one
by one,
Pink and white and blood-red crimson, some in but
and some full blown
There through lawn and grove and garden sngi
she to herself alone;
Softly sings In broken snatches some old song o
Spain or France.
AS she holds her roses on at full arms-ength will
a long glance,
shifting groups of forms ana colors, for painter
| eye hath she,
And all beauty peaseth her. SO artist like and fanc
free.
Now she enters her boudoir, and sets her roses in
| vase;
There for seven Gays and night their bloom and fra
GRANGE fill the place.
When the petals droop and fade she'll bear them b
| the rivers brink,
Singing, throw them on the waves and wonder
| they II float or sink.
| VIII she bear away tonghta bunch OF lovers rose
hearts-pray?
| Set them In her vase a week-then throw them wit
flowers away?

How TO Have Apples Every Year.

J. w. Fingal, Ont, writes how he has sue
ceeded in having apples every year by chang
ing the bearing year of one of the two trees.
They had both been laden with fruit every
alternate year for ten years Last year they
were both covered with blossoms, and being
desirous to change the bearing year of one Of
them, he with his son resolved to pick off the
blossoms They commenced at seven o'clock
in the morning and completed their work by
eleven. The result OF this experiment is that
this year he is well rewarded for his labor;
the tree from which he picked the blossoms is
so heavily laden that the branches are well
nigh breaking with the load, while the tree
that bore last year has on not more than q
dozen apples. BY this means he expects to
have one tree bearing we'll every year, giving
him sufficient for his family's use. If shak-
ing or knocking off the young fruit would
have the same effect, it would be much
easier and quicker way Of preventing the.tree
bearing for the season; but of this he has nc
experience He would advise those whose
orchards are bearing fruit alternately to try
| the experiment next year.

Diving for Gold.

The Hussar Wrecking Company is again
at work trying to recover the gold said to
have been lost with the British man-of.war
Hussar ninety-nine years ago. This work
Was begun about thirty years ago, and for
twepty-eight years it was prosecuted pgu-
larly every season. Last year nothing was
done, however, and the work this year was
begun very late in the season. 1t is under
the direction Of Mr. Thomas Barnes, whose
brother is a diver and a practical wrecker.
The old Hussar lies in very deep water, off
Port Morris, N. j., short distance below the
Morrisania gas works, and schooner has
been anchored on the spot for the purpose of
carrying on the word. A reporter went out
to the schooner recently and found Mr..
Barnes, the diver, preparing to go below.
"iou will have to wait till | come up" he
said; II cant talk with four hundred pounds
weight around me-" The brass helmet was
then screwed to his breast plate and his
equipment complete, he went down among
the fishes to look for the gold. The Hussar
was backed on ledge between the place
where she now lies and the shore, and slid
down this to depth of seventy five feet at
low tide, her stern sinking deep into the mud
and sand. 1t is here the gold is supposed to
be. Her bow and much of her ballast were
removed in past years, and the skeletons and
equipments of fourteen American prisoners
who were drowned when she went down have
been recovered Work was resumed on, the
wreck recently and Mr.. Barnes has brought
to the surface some interesting specimens
showing the ships condition, The wooC
wo k is pretty near all gone, and even .th'
spikes and bolts are almost eaten away. Mr.
Barnes recently recovered bit of broker
queensware, showing that he has visited tn
Hussars' mess-room, and he has brought VI
with him a clam which made its home in tn
ships hold. The treasure is generally esti
mated at about ehillion dollars, and it
now believed that it may be reached at an
time. "We sre looking for something an
We hope We may find it" said Mr.. Barne
as he came out of the water.

A good story comes from Woodstock, Me.
A grocer there owns COW with horns of
inferior length. Last week some mischiev-
GUS boys obtained from the tannery a pair of
cast-off horns which, with a bit of cement,
they nicely fitted over the horns of the COW
and left her go home at milking time, which
she did. Her owner not only failed to recog-
nize her, but actually used force to expel her
from the premises. The village was searched
in vaiu,for the missing animal and an adver.
tsement was inserted in the local paper.
Day after day the stray COW was turned away,
until at last, she refused to obey the verbal
order, the victim of an innocent joke seized
her by the horns, which came off and in the
intruder he recognized his own property, fol
the loss of which he had so sadly mourned.

Chopped onions, with little ginger

Mr.. Ellis Eckman, of Maytown, Lancas-

white hogs which would weigh four hundred

Cider may be preserved and be kept
sweet by putting it in wine bottles, adding a
teaspoonful of white sugar to each bottle and
corking tightly. The corks should be tied

Mr.. William Miller, of Donegal town.
ship Washington county, Pa, has just sold
l,6O0 fleeces of wool at 40 cents per pound
These feeces were the accumulations of sever
years and weighed 5000 pounds.
The Hessian fly has greatly damaged
the growing wheat in the southern part o
Indiana aud Southwestern Ohio. The acreag,
this fall in those parts is fully one fourti
greater than last, and, unless rain comes soon
fears are entertained for the crop.
There is one matter that most farmer
neglect, viz, to have a large quantity O
coarse, pure sand in their cellars or outhouse
where roots, etc. are wintered. There is no
root or iruit that we know of that will NO
keep better in sand than out of it.
