The Prospect Before U.s..

1t is now exceedingly probable that
all the States which: voted for =Mr.-Fii-
den in 1876, and,which gave him a de-
cided majority of the Electors, and a
majority of more than a quarter of a
million of the popular vote, will go for
Hancock. .1.fr-s -, .t4..] ,.. . ~
The Electoral votes of Louisiana,
Florida and South Carolina, nineteen in
all, were stolen by the conspirators
who organized the Great Fraud. The
late Zach Chandler and the present
John Sherman were principals in that
conspiracy, with James A. Garfield as
chief of staff in his double capacity of
visiting statesman at New Orleans to
aid Wells and Anderson in their false
returns, and as member of the Electoral
Commission to sustain them and the
forged certificates of Electors which
kellogg and his crew had fabricated.
The Tilden States would give Han
cock 2O3 Electors, or eighteen more
than the necessary number of 1S5.
There is hardly a reasonable doubt now
about any one of them, and the proba-
bility is, that after Indiana shall have
made her record, others will be eager
to fall into the winning column, and
thus contribute to sweeping victory.
Confidence is also fortified by the con-
viction that, if legally elected, General
Hancock will take his seat in the White
House and will exercise the functions
of President, in spite of all machine
tions to the contrary. 80.
" The friends of Hancock will claim
nothing that is not right, and will SUBJ
NIT to nothing that is wrong. The
conspirators of 1876 are now in pos
session of stolen power. They cannot
repeat their former frauds, because
their confederates in the South are no
longer able to pack Returning Boards
or to falsify certificates. But they are
fully capable of resorting to other meth
DDS equally criminal, in order to retain
control of the Government. .: ......
The standing army of more than a
hundred thousand officeholders is a
mere fraction of the enormous power
welded by this Administration. The
Treasury alone handles over six hum
dred millions a year of receipts and
expenditures. The customs, the banks,
the internal revenue, the Post-office,
the Indian service, the pensions, the
patents, the land service, the army and
the navy, the revenue service, the coast
survey, the judicial service, with the
marshals, deputies, district attorneys,
clerks, commissioners, and other
branches reach into multitude of in
terests, and touch the pockets of mill
ions of people. ~ .-s.-....... ........
The benefciaries of this s>stem do
not mean to give up without a severe
struggle. They are contending not
only for what they have acquired al
ready and what they expect to get in
the, future, but also to prevent any ex-
posare of the methods by which they
have become enriched. Hence they
fight desperately against change, and
they will not scruple at any means to
prevent that desired contamination.
But General Hancock will probably be
and in that event he certainly
will be inaugurated. N. Y. Sun.

There is more dirty work for the
Republican Supreme Court of Maine.
If the County Canvassers fail to count
in Corporal Davis the Supreme Court
is to be called on to tinker the law so
as to crowd him in any how. The Re-
pubicans invented a double-e edged Con-
stitutional amendment which was to
react on the election of this week if
adopted, and the programme now is
that this back-acting arrangement is to
be good law or bad law according as it
helps or hurts the Republican party.
The Supreme Court has heretofore dis
played its willingness to define the law
TO suit the emergency, and it will hard
ly fail its party in this desperate strait.

Bad Health on Farms.

Farmers are wont to think that
miasm is mostly confined to cities and
large villages and that country air is
pure and farm-houses necessarily health
full; but whoever has carefully inspected
the premises of the average farmer,
has found abundant occasion for the
low fevers which are the scourge of the
country as well as the city. In the
first place, all farmers should look well
to their cellars. In too many of them
will be found rotten apples, cabbages,
turnips, onions, etc. In some will be
found old brine, with pieces of decayed
meat, sending forth an odor, when the
cover of the barrel is taken off, vile
enough to wrench the stomach of pig.
In others there will be musty cider-bar-
rels, possibly vinegar-casks, in which
the vinegar has passed on to the putre-
factive stage, disseminating the spores
of decay and death, not only through
the upper part of the house, but even
escaping through the cellar windows
and polluting the out door air.
Decaying wood generates one of the
most subtitle poisons, because the odor
is not particularly offensive. Rotten
timber in the cellars and moldy wood
or chips in the wood-house fill the air
with spores, which, breathed by per-
son in the full vigor of health, may be
thrown off with impunity; but inhaled
by one whose blood is low NAV
find a congenial seed-bed and
generate disease. Under the cider
and vinegar barrels, and around
potato bins, may often be found
old timbers and boards that are full of
dry rot, ready to propagate itself wher-
ever the rotten particles may find a
Judgment. In the well, also, rotten
wood is subtle poison, more danger
Gus than a decomposing toad, as the
latter makes his presence known, while
few tastes are so keen as to detect the
presence of decaying wood. Probably
the most prolific source of disease
around our farm houses is the cesspool
into which pass the kitchen and chamber
slops. In the cities and large villages
these are carried off in the sewers, but
seldom does farmhouse have any sys-
TEN of sewerage. The slops are too
often thrown out of the kitchen door
and left to generate vile odors on the
surface OF the ground. To keep the air
of the cellar and around the house pure
and sweet we have never found any
thing more economical, pleasant and
efficacious than a free sprinkling, as
occasion may demand, of dry, air-slaked
lime. Chloride OF lime is greater ab-
sorbent of vile doors, but this is itself
offensive to most olefactory nerves and
is also quite expensive. Common lime
is cheap, and if scattered freely in the
cellar and wherever there are impur-
ties, will render the air sweet ar.i
wholesome, even in the most deron,
posing dog-days.-Cor. Country GclI

Cooking a Turkey.


THERE may be some housekeepers
who would like to profit by an old house.
wife's experience in cooking turkeys. A
nice stuffed turkey is one of the most
tempting dishes that can be placed on a
dinner-table. 1t must be served with
vegetables and cranberry sauce. Take
a good sized bird and wash it thorough
ly, then soak for two hours in salt and
water. Cut off the legs at the joint,
and put the joints of the wings
under the shoulder joint. Take
two quarts of bread, chopped fine,
a quarter of a pound of salt pork, tea
spoonful of black pepper, two table,
spoonfuls of pulverized sage, and three
eggs; mix well together; if not moist
enough to knead into hard roll, add
water; fill the turkey as full of the dress
ing as it can be pressed. Take the giz-
Zard and fasten over the dressing by
taking few stitches with needle and
Irvine; tie the legs firmly together; then
rub the entire surface with thin coat
ing of melted butter; sprinkle flour over
it and lay it upon its side in the dripping
pan; pour three pints of water into the
pan and set it in the oven. Let it cook
slowly and turn it over two or three
times. Dip the gravy over it from time
to time with spoon. A young, tender
bird will cook in two hours; if older, it
takes longer. During the last hour it
needs brisk fire so as to brown the sur
face without scorching it.
Lay it whole upon the platter when
ready to be served; add more -four to
the gravy it was baked in, and stir
smoothly till it comes to boil. 1t used
to be thought essential to parboil tur-
key before stufing, but the flesh is
sweeter and much nicer to omit boiling.
When carved, cut the meat from one
side of the bird clean. If more is need
ed, it can be cut from the other side, and
what is left is in good form for another
meal. 1t is equally as nice on the Sec
ond day as when first cooked. The
dressing can be dipped out with spoon;
it will be found very nice, the eggs Civ
ing it solidity, and keeping it from fall
ing into bits over the plates. Dressing
prepared in this way is equally as good
for a goose or duck, and they can be
cooked In the same manner, only vary
ing the length of time it is being cooked,
according to the size of the fowl.
As the cold weather comes on, the va
rious kinds of poultry make very pleas
ant change of diet from the meats and
fish that have been used during warm
weather. If nicely cooked, poultry is a
nice dish for dinner, with changes of
vegetables to give relish. Some per-
sons like onions chopped up with the
dressing; such can add them to suit
their taste, but as they are Objectionable
to many, it must be lett to the cooks
discretion. If sage is indigestible, the
addition of teaspoonful of pulverized
mustard to the dressing will be of use,
as it will also in sausage meat, and it
really makes the sausage better for the
addition.-Farnaer's WIFE, in Country
Gentleman.
