to enforce the laws of their country, was a
Democrat.
Every man that cursed Lincoln because he
issued the Emancipation Proclamation was a
Democrat.

Every man that helped to burn orphan
asylums in the city of New York was a Dem
ocrat.
Every man that tried to fire New York was
a Democrat-although he knew that thou
sands would perish and the great serpents of
fame, leaping from one building to another,
would clutch children from their mothers
arms-every wretch that did it was Demo-
crat.
Recollect it, Every man that tried to
spread smallpox and yellow fever in the
North was Democrat.
Soldiers, every scar that you have on your
heroic bodies was given you by Democrat

An Ice Gorge In July.

A remarkable ice gorge cxssts in Sussex
County, New Jersey, near Swartswood
Pond, in a gorge Of the Blue Mountaine.
The gorge is several hundred yards in
extent, ten to thirty feet deep, with caves
and clcfts in the rocks, where the ice ays
1t is located a very short distance from tho
mountain. The shade at the gorge is very
dense, the sun apparently never penctrat-
ing it. The bottom of the gorge Is covered
with ice, and the little caves and crcvices
are filled with it. 1t is natural ice house;
hundreds of tons might be taken out with :
out appreciably decreasing the whole.
Much of it has no doubt lain there for
years, the mass gradually melting and be-
ing added to each year. The thermometer,
which registered in the ninctics In New
ton, marked 38 degrees at the bottom Of
this gorge, too cold for one to remain there
any length of time. A few feet from one
end OF the gorge spring of the most deli
cious, sparkling water bubbles up. The
water IN this spring stands at 81 degrees.
Samuel Thompson, who owns tho farm on
which this natural curiosity was found, in
cony ersalion with the reporter, said: "Why,
yes, / s'pose 1t Is rather remarkable, but
VIC don't think very much about 1t cxcep.
when we want ice. The neighbors all
around goes over there for their ice."

Bachelor Housekeeping.

We suppose everybody knows what
',grass-WldoW' meanS-a woman living
temporarily absent from her husband. We
can think Of no corresponding terms to ap-
ply to man in like condition, unless it is
'tgrass .wldowcr." We know of one who
is just setting up his cabin on northern
prairie, prepared for a summer campaign of
"breaking" prairie sod. A boy of fourteen
is with him as ''chief cook and bottle
washer" We feel deep interest in their
work, particularly in the house keeping.
The boys success or failure in cooking,
washing, etc., will bring credit or discredit
to bis mother. We have lately heard the
father inquire anxiously concerning his
capabilities-''Do you know how to cook
oat mcal2" "Can you make such graham
bread as this2" 'Does he understand the
knack of making dried apples catable ?"
"4ou know how mamma seasons maca-
roni, don't youa' etc. Both arc very fond
Of milk, and if they get IL COW, or find good
milk for sale close at hand, the cooking and
eating business will be simplifed. Milk
goes well with almost everything that our
folks eat, as we never use pickles, and
vinegar very seldom. To make sure of
cooking the oatmeal, cracked wheat, rice
and hominy, properly, they have taken
along steamer made after the farina-ket-
tie plan. They are directed to use one part
oat meal, rice or hominy, or cracked wheat,
to four parts of cold water in the inner ket-
tie with plenty Of water to keep up boiling
IN the outer one. TO secure good graham
bread. they have provided the best of
graham flour and dried Yeast Cakes"
The cook will set thin sponge at night,
with half a yeast cake, and flour
and warm water enough to make large
dripping-pan loaf Gall they can bake at one
time in their ovenI and in the moraing he
will add sugar and graham flour until he
has stiff batter well beaten. This will be
turned into the butter bread-pan without
kncadlng, allowed to rise quite light and
then baked. 1t ls pretty sure to be good
every time, for the same cook has gone
through the same movements many time,
simply helping his mother, but unconscious
