COOKING CONTEsT.--The following Is
an extract from letter written by a
young lady of Austin, who is now at
Lebanon, Ohio: ''We visited the War
rem county fair yesterday friday. There
was new feature in the list of prem
iums; it was cooking race for hand
some cooking stove The competitors
were six in number, and under Is years
of age. Two cooked each day; one pre-
pairing dinner, the other supper, and each
one had exactly the same dishes to pre-
pare and had her material prepared to the
same stage before beginning. We did
not arrive in time to see the one who
cooked dinner begin, but she was flying
around at a rapid rate when we saw her,
and had her dinner ready in forty-eIght
minutes. We went to the kitchen at half
past two, as the last competitor was to be-
gin at three o'clock. She had the chicken
all ready, fire made and tea-kettle boiling
when the judges took their seats, She
pared and stewed apples, made the crust
for apple pies, boiled and mashed Irish
potatoes, made biscuit, coffee, fried chick
en- and broiled steak, set the table, and
had everything on it in forty minutes.
and did not seem to hurry either. At
O'Clock the fortunate One-whO was the
last cOOk-in company with three gentle
men, rode in an open carriage around the
race track, preceded by band Of music
and wagon bearing the stove. The COM
petitors were not servant girls, but dau9l-
tiers of well-to-dO and highly respected
citizens"

On Thursday evening at / O'Clock
there was a political discussion be-
tween the Independent-Nati
Observation-Disclosures party candidate,
Mr.. Loe, and Judge ~. w. Mour-
sund, the Democratic nominee for
representative. The appointment
being Mr.. Loc's he opened the dis
cussiOn in q speech Of one hour and
a half, in which he arraigncd the
Republican and Democrat parties,
charging that to their theory and
corruption was due the overburdcn
of taxation that was now felt by the
labOring man. lie further charged
that the Democratic party had
never attempted to abolish the ma
tiOnal banks or TO pay off the deaf.
tie also assailed the state govern
ment, and especially Governor Rob-
erts, and proved conclusivcly-to
his own mind-that as far as the
constitution of the United States is
concerned that it was n scaled book
to Roberts. lie also told what he
knew about fiat money.
He was followed by Judge Mour-
sund in an exceedingly able and
thorough vindicatiOn of the Demo-
cratic party, both state and national.
He proved from the record that in
stead of the Democratic party hav-
ing never made any attempt to abol-
ish the national banks and TO pay off
the naIional debt, that at various
times since 1862 they had attempted
to repeal the national bank act had
tried to reserve to the states the
right to tax the national bonds, and
had always been in favor of paying
off the national debt. He also
touched up the Greenback party on
the inconsistencies of their financial
theories. The Judge spoke some
thing more than an hour. and his re-
marks were received with applause.
Mr.. Loe closed the discussion by
a very heated attack upon Judge
Moursund. He seemed TO be some
what excitel and was exceedingly
personal and boisterOus in his re-
| marks.
After the discussion was closed,
Judge Martin made rather an eX-
cited attack upon The Democratic
party of BlancO county, especially
the convention that nominated
Judge Moursund. He slung the
''bloOdy shirt" furiously. Mr.. a. ID.
Storey replied TO Mr.. Martin i'll de-
Tense of the Democratic party, and
stated that the convention that NOM
mated Judge A. w. Moursund was
the most purely Democratic body
that had ever assembled in Blanco
county. He deprecated the practice
of some politicians in each canvass
repainting the fast-fading bloody
stains left by the war, and charged
that in this Judge Martin was in di-
rect opposition to the Democratic
party; that they accepted the result
as final, and were trying TO heal,
rather than keep fresh, the wounds

petrnlenm for Cnnphs

DR.. Moubre, writing to the Gazette deS
HoPifGrW, gives his experience of petr0-
leum capsules in simple and chronic
bronchitis. This balsamlc had been
brought before the Therapeutic Society
by DIR. Blache a year ago, at the sugges-
ton of Paris chemist, who named il
Gabian oil, in order to prevent public
prejudice. Each capsule contains twenty
five centigrammes of pure petroleum. the
ordinary oil not being used. as il has to
be distilled in contact with sulphuric acid
TO render il fit for lighting purposes. At
the Hospital Beaujon, where these cap
sules have been freely ordered for chronic
bronchitis, a rapid diminution of the
secretion and fits of coughing were OBJ
served. In tuberculosis this medicine
gave encouraging results.

Corn loses one-fifth by drying and
wheat one-fourteenth. From this the
estimate is made that Il is more profitable
for Farmers to sell unshelled corn in the
fall at IS cents bushel than al 81 bushel
in the following summer, and the wheat
at 81 y in December is equal TO 81 so in
the succeeding June. In the case Of po-
tatoes-taking those that rot and are
