Maj. Norman, OF Grant county,
Chairman of the
COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS
submitted the following report
The Democracy of the Second Con-
gressional District of West Virginia
in convention assembled, believing
that we can neither add too or de-
tract from the declaration of princi-
pies adopted by the National De-
mocracy at the late Cincinnati Con-
vention, 1880, as its platform, hereby
cordially endorse and approve the
same.
And believing as we do that w. s..
Hancock and w. H. English have in
the past illustrated by their conduct
the great principles of the Demo-
cratic party of this country, and
when elected that they will uphold
and maintain them in the admins
tration of the Federal Government,
we, the Representatives of the De-
mocracy of this district, pledge our
selves individually and collectively
to aid by all honorable means their
triumphant election to the Presi-

Gambling in the Army
Kom E,ring Brother Key Correct
cd Same Erroneous Impressions
Of the President and cabinet.

There is Il general Impression ut
Washington that soldiers in our
frontier forts spend their spare
time in gambling. Naturally, the
congressional mind is filled with
horror, at the thought that sinful
games should be played by men
in the service OF the United States
and bills have been introduced
by virtuous legislators to put a
stop to the practice. The Presi>
dent is understood to have been
greatly raiued on learning that
the officers and men of the federal
army are addicted to gambling,
and the other day, just before the
appointment OF IA new Secretary
of War, he called a meeting of the
Cabinet to discuss the prOpriety
of requesting Mr.. McCrary's sues
ceSsor to issue an order prohibits
ing gambling under heavy penal
ties.
Mr.. Hayes opened the proceed
ings with IA bliet speech, in which
after a passing allusion to the
crops If the past season, he said
that he learned that gambling
prevailed to very great extent
among the troops on the frontier.
This gambling, the President said.
was carried Oh not only in the
usual way, by pitching pennies
and playing marbles to keep, but
10y game of cards called, if he
remembered rightly, ''S!ehge-h"'n
mer.n or "tongs." With this
game he was glad to say that he
was totally unac1uainted, but he
feared that there was no doubt
that it was a wicked game, and
one which was SO fascinating that
the soldiers would frequently sci
their bibles and hymn books in
order to raise money with which
to play. He wished to hear the
views Of the Cabinet on this sub
ject, and their opinion as to The
expediency OF an order from tht
department forbidding all game:
OF chance.
| Nj. Key begged to correct the
President. The games to whicl
he had referred were doubtless
"old sledge" and ''poker." Th'
former, he was free to say, was
game unworthy of officers an,
gentleman, and, as to poker, III
must confess that it was ruinon
both to the body and the pocket
he should say, soul. 81 relnem

An Englishman hunting in AL.

and found himself, late in the af-
ternoon, in desolate spot and en-
tirely out of provisions. The ma

This is the story of the Cabinet
meeting which certain wicked
army officers assert is the only
true and authorized account of it's
proceedings. There is reason,
however, to doubt it's literal
truth. Is it probable that either
the President, the Postmaster
General, or the Secretary of the
Navy would have told what oc-
Cured at a secret meeting of the

Il tablespoonful OF salt, and it will
help 1t very much. A little gin
ger put into sausage meat i'm.
proves the flavor. In icing cakes
dip the knife in cold water. In
boiling for meat soup, use cold
water to extract the Juices. If
tho meat is wanted for itself alone
plunge it into boiling water at
once. You can get a bottle or
barrel of oil off any carpet or wool
on stuff by applying buckwheat
plent;fully. Never put water to
such a grease spot, or liquid OF
any kind. Broil steak without
sailing. Salt draws the Juices in
cooking it is desirable to keep
these, If possible. Cook over q
hot fire, turning frequently, sears
ing both sides. Place on a plat
ter salt and pepper to taste.
Beet having u tendency to be
tough can be made very palatable
by stewing gently for two hours
with salt and pepper, taking out
ah9Rt a pint Of the liquor when
half done, and letting the rest
boil into the meat. Brown the
meat in the pot. After taking
mp, make a gravy of the piut of
liquor saved. A small piece Of
charcoal in the pot with boiling
cabbage removes the smell. Clean
oilcloths with milk and water:
a brush and soap will ruin them.
fumblers that have milk in them
should never be put in hot water.
A spoonful of stewed tomatoes in
the gravy Of either roasted or
fried meats is an Improvement.
The skin of boiled egg is the
most etficaciOus remedy that can
be applied to a boil. Peel it care

matter and relieve the soreness
