recipes for making cherry bounce and black
berry cordial. For the former one of the
best that We know OF is Miss Leslie's. 1t is
as follows: "Mix teg ether six pounds of
ripe morellas and six pounds OF large black
heart cherries. Put them into a wooden
bowl or tub, and with u pestle Or mullel
mash them so as to crack all the stones. Mix
with the cherries three pounds of lo%af-sugar,
OF OF sugar candy broken up, and put them
into q demljOhn, or into q large stone jar.
Pour on two gallons of the best double rec
tilted whisky. Stop the vessel closely, and
let 1t stand three months, shaking It every
day during the first month. At the end of
three months you may strain the liquor and
bottle 1t of. 1t improves by age" Another
Is to simply place the ripe cherries in a
vessel, which can be tightly closed, and to
pour over them sufficient whisky to ill the
vessel. In a few months the cherries Will
have shrunk to skin and stones, and the
liquor may be made to suit taste by dilutIon
and the addition of sugar. Still another
plan is to put down a layer OF cherries and
a layer of sugar, alternately to the top of
vessel, cover with whisky, and let stand till
wanted for use, when rack of. The best
recipe we have for making blackberry cor
dial Is taken from housekeeping IN the
Blue Grass" 1t Is: s.Take one quart OF
Juice, one pound of ugar, race ginger,
mace ,ail>pice, cloves and cinnamon, to taste /;
boil aud strain through u sieve when cold
to every gallon of juice add q quart of
whisky" We may say from our experience
when there We're no women critters around,
mat almost any way that you mix up black.

The Cincinnati Convention.

We are glad the Democratic lead
ere, after twenty years fooling, have
concluded to quit, and have given us
al Cincinnati candidates for President
and Vice President that We Can elect
and count in. True, we elected Mr..
Tilden in 1876, but Mr.. Tilden or
the democratic leaders let the Repub.
licans fool lis and Mr.. Hayes was
"counted in" That's played out now.
If Hancock is elected, and he will be,
he will take his seat in the White
House now don't you forget it. The
members OF tho Cincinnati Conyen.
,ioa are entitled TO the thanks Of the
country for the noble work they did
in giving us that distinguished soldier
and statesman, Gen. Winfield Scott
Hancock, for our standard bearer on
the second ballot. The Convention
organized peacefully and proceeded
TO business at once. The fret ballot
stood as follows: Hancock, III; Bay
ard 1881; Payne, 81; Field, 65;
Thurman 6s4; Morrison, 62; Hen
bricks 5o4; Tilden SO; Ewing, 10;
Seymour, 8; Randall, G.; Loveland,
S; Mcdonald, 8; Mcclellan, 8; Lath-
rop, Jewett, English, Parker, Black,
l each. Necessary to a choice, two
thirds, 4s7. On the announcement
of this; the friends of other candidates
seeing the inevitable, changed their
votes in rapid succession for Hancock,
until his number reached considerably
over 400, and before the second bal
lot was finally disposed Of his nomi-
nation was made unanimous.
VIM. H English, the candidate for
Vice President. is lawyer by profess
sion, has served eight years in Con-
gress, and is idolized by the people OF
his State, Indiana, and their votes
are sure for him. He was unanimous
ly nominated. Hancock 6 English

fear it, as we'll they may.

THE FEAR OF FAT.

No doubt it is unpleasant to be excess
sively obese; but the morbid dread of
fat, which has in recent years become
fashionable, has no foundation in phys
biological fact. Fat answers two pur-
poses; ii acts as a nOn-conducting en-
velope for the body and protects it from
too rapid loss of heat, and it serves as a
store of fuel In |he course Of exhaust
ing disease it notitnfrequently happens
that the life of a patient may be pro-
longed until the reserve of fat is ex-
hausted, and then he dies of inanition.
Fat supplies the material of the heating
process upon which vitality mainly de-
pends. In great excess it is incOnven-
lent but the external layings-on of fat
is no measure Of the internal develop
ment of adipose tissue. Much less does
= tendency to grow fat imply or even
suggest a tendency to what is known as
"fatty degeneration 1t is time to
speak out OH this point, as the most alb
surd notions seem to prevail. Again, it
is not true that special forms of food
determine fat. That is an old and ex-
plOded notion. Some organisms will
make fat let them be fed upon the lean
est and scantiest and least saccharine
descriptions of food, while others will
not be fattened" let them feed on the
"most-fattening of diets. The matter
is one in regard to which it is supremely
desirable and polite to he natural,
adapting the food taken to the require
ments of health rather than substance.
Simple food, sufficient exercise, regular
habits, with moderation in the use OF
stimulants, compose the maxim of safe
and healthy way of life.-Lancet
