10 Cook Poultry or Meats Quickly.
Amy kind of poultry or meat may
be cooked quickly, by adding two ia
blespoons of vinegar to the water in
which it is boiled; it will also remove
the faint of fish flesh, or fowl, by
soaking in it and scraping.
To Fry Fish.-Roll in -four or corn
meal, salt, fry in butter, till nicely
Drowned. Large fish should be cut
in slices.
Rolls.--Take a piece of dough as
large as desired, need into it enough
butter to make tender, Y little sinn;.-

spread little butter and sugar over
the top, cut twice the size of roll,
lap the two edges together, let rise

The Ferry AFFAIR.

Pittsburgh Post.
Recent disclosures at Washington
give an interesting account of the
kind of man this Ferry is, into whose
hands it was proposed to confde the
extraordinary power of determining a
presidential election, by overriding as
the electoral commission did, the
voice of the people and the states.
A sensational story was printed
some days ago that he had been cow
h;ded By 3 yeung lady for bad faith
towards her. This was an error. It
was the father of the young lady, COL
Cooper, late of the army, and a gentle
man of social standing and wealth,
who gave good sound thrashing 10
the senator. The affair has created
great excitement at the capital, and
Col, Cooper, on being interviewed,
made some rather curious revelations
about Ferry. We quote from the
special to the Chicago Times:
Miss Cooper is one of the most beau
tiful and accomplished young ladies
of this city, and is only l6 years of
age. She is the only child, and is
evidently the idol of her father. Capt.
Cooper is remarkably fine looking
and fine appearing man, and an inter
estipg conversatiOnalist; buthis recent
trouble has greatly unnerved him. In
the course OF tke interview he said,
to illustrate the kind Of a man he
believed Senator Ferry to Ee, that
Ferry had told him, while al
luding to the fact, that it was
within the possibilities that he would
be nominated fer president, that in
that event he Cooper should have
his pick OF the foreign missions. At
another time Ferry said to him
Cooper, if Windom is nominated for
president aud elected, | shall have
the pick Of any position in his gift;
and, if that comes about, the place in
tended for me shall be given to you. "
The affair is certain to create a pro-
found impression in this city, where
the great wealth of the family and
family relations makes them especial
ly prominent,
1t is not necessary to 20 into any de-.
tails of Ferry's bad faith to the young
lady, but it amply justified his public
disgrace. The point is the great ln-
Auence of Ferry ia the councils Of his
party which enables him to promise
foreign missions under the Deyt ad-
ministration. Evidently he was the
man TO rely on, for "countin in
HAYES. had other means failed.

job, the ever present idiot called
out, " Garfield" Of course itwasn' t
a put up job, but it looked SO.
Now and then Garfield dropped into
poetry and used an occasional image,
but the grace of oratory do not lie in
Garfeld's mouth, aud when, having
nominated John Sherman, he sudden
ly subsidized, very general relief was
felt. The demonstration was long and
loud and very thin. Mr.. Hoar
made considerable additional noise
with the gaylish relic of Lin.
coins home and Washington 9
woodpile, and the howling mob
kept on. The manufactured claequery
was intensely disgusting, and if Gar
field and Sherman base their popular
ity on that kind of idiocy its race will
necessarily soon run out. Foster,
Garfield and other men of influence
in the Ohio delegation were largely
responsible for the ridiculous scene
that | describe. They encouraged the
cheering, and smiled upon the actors
in display Of puerility that has not
been paralleled in this conventions s
progress.

The Vesuvins Railway.

VEsUvIUs, June 6, 1880.-Tbe for
NAL opening of the Mount Vesuvigs
railway took PLACE to-day, 1t was
celebrated by a splendid fete, to which
$50 persons were Invited. The line

All persons present were unanimous
in expressing their admiration at the
completion of so bold an undertaking.
AN IRON WAY THROUGH THE LAVA.
The upper station Of the new line
is about three hundred yards from the
mouth of the crater, the lower station
is at the foot Of the canon. Through
the thousand yards which lie between
them the traveller is drawn in seven
minutes by systom of ropes and a
MINDLESS. The gradiapts are exceed
ingly steep, varying from 10 in l3a 10
d3 in 100, the mean being SO in 100;
but the wheels are so constructed
as to keep a fast hold on the
rails. The carriages are furnished
with automatic air brakes, and the
line, which has been constructed on a
solid pavement andis planked through
out, is believed to be secure from all
incursions OF lava. And yet, though

that the tourist will miss this summer

Dramatic Salaries Here and
Abroad.

London Cor. New York Heraldl
There is an impression here that the
salaries paid to leading actors and ac-
tresses in New York are larger than
such performers receive in London.
This is an error. The highest class in
New York range from 800 to $175
week. The same rates are paid in
London, and in many instances Lon
don pay is much greater than any
American manager would give. The
stars who share profits with managers
find when they come from the United
states, that a crowded house in Lon.
don returns them less than an indif-
ferent house in Pittsburg or st. Louis
| attended a matinee at the Ilaymar-
ket theater last Saturday. The place
was crowded. Mr.. Bancroft told me
the receipts were e2l0, or $1,000. The
like house at Wallack's theater would
be over $4,000. A star actor, playing
at the Haymarket, would have re-
ceived $500 for his share of such a
house, while the same actor, playing
to the like house at Wallack's, would
receive $500. Hence has arisen the
impression that New York pays bet
ter than London. True, as regards
stars; not true as regards the pTotes-
sion generally.

SPRINGFIELD.
The Illinois Democracy in Con-
veniiOn.

SPRINGFIELD. June 10.-The demo-
cratic state convention convened at
the state house at 1915. with a full
attendance of delegates. They we're
called to order by Hon. T. w. Me-
Melley, chairman of the state central
committee, who nominated S. S. Mar
shall, of Hamilton, for temporary
chairman. Mashall was unanimously
elected, and made brief speech, ar
raigning the republican party and
ticket, and predicting success of the
democracy in the coming campaign.
Hon. Lyman Trumbull, who had just
entered the hall, was loudly calledfo
and finally responded with a speech.
lie said he was practical man, and
believed the party had beforeit hard
and difficult campaign. No
matter what objections could be
raised TO the republican presidential
nominees, they will command the
votes Of the republican party, and the
democracy has the republican party to
defeat and not its nominees. Demo
Gratis had in the past listened too
much to the advice of their adyer-
saries.
Mr.. Trumbull then proceeded to
review and criticize Hayes admins
tration, and urged the convention to
put forward the best men of the party.
If this could be done, he predicted
victory, as the last presidential cleo
tion had demonstrated that party we're
in the majority Of the people of the
United States. Hans Huerting, of
Cook, was chosen temporary secretary,
with several assistants.

THE MAN WE HAVE TO BEAT.

"Never underrate your enemy" is a
wise old military maxim. The demo
Gratis adopt this in conceding that
Garfield will be strong candidate in
his party. This was the first express
sion, though upon reflection it will be
found that the lucky nominee has his
weak points and can easilybe defeated
by the democrats if they will leave OF
making blunders, act prSdently and
nominate the best men at the Cincin-
natl convention. There is kind OF
dash and magnetism about General
Garfield, but he is neither a great
statesman or a shrewd politician. Only
a short time ago he had antagonizeG
nearly all his party in congress
ON a party question. He is a mildly
independent type of republican, who
deprecates extreme measures, but
always falls into line when ordered to
do so by his party. He is a second
edition of Hayes, only, and we are glad
to say it, that he is more frank and
manly. Garfield is not two-faced
hypocrite, but he is man of large
and would make a psssable
resident, and possibly would be an
i'm Drovement on the Hayes pattern
However much he might be inclined
TO do right, he would only be presi-
dent as the tool of party, ready
to do its will in all things. The pub
lie will be reminded at the proper
time that Garfield was dis
creditably connected with the Credit
Mobilier job, and whilst this was
condoned by his own party it never
can be by the democrats. Another
senious objection to him is that he is
n rank prOtectionist aud that he stands
in with the greatest monopolies OF the
day. In all his long career in con-
gress he has never rebuked or ap-
parently disapproved The jobs, the
corruption, and the desperate and un-
constitutional methods of the republi-
can party. If he has not personally
shared the spoils of plunderers and
thieves. he has stood by and seen
them make the divide without enter
ing protest or raising the alarm
Once elected president, he
would, with more plausibility
and brain than Uriah Heep Hayes
represent and emhody the bigotry and
intolerance Of his party. He will pol
something like the usual vote in the
north, except in New York, where
Arthur is not in good odor, and th'
young scratchers" may make per
,,eptible thinness in the ranks. In the
.,osth the nomination produces no en-
,shusiasm, except among the Office
holders and their friends who hat
made up their minds in advance t
hurrah for the ticket in any event

The colored element is disappointed
and disgusted. Grant is next to Lin
coin and considerably ahead of Moses
in the minds of the colOred people.
They inquire who is this
man Garfield, anyhow" He
is fair specimen of
the ordinary successful republican
politician. He was on the electoral
commission that counted the legally
elected president out of his place and
put in the parsimonious, small-minded
Hayes. The nomination of Arthur to
the second place on the ticket was
surprise to both parties. 1t was ter
rible mistake of which the democrats
will not be slow to take advantage.
The democrats have it in their power
to place a nominee in the field at the
Cincinnati convention who will be not
only elected next November but in
augurated next March.

KEARNEY a REPUBLICAN.
His "WOrkingrnan'S" Dodge to
Draw Votes from the
Democracy.
San Francisco Chronicle. j

San Francisco Chronicle.
Kearney addressed large gathering
on the sand lot yesterday afternoon.
He said he knew where he stood. He
knew what he could say and how to
say it, and thereupon he proceeded to
say his say. Several persons, includ-
ing Charles Crocker, were denounced
by name as thieves, and a great many
others collectively were given the
same designation. Then he went on
in way somewhat more discursive
than usual for about an hour and a
half, lauding the supreme court. es
pecially Judge McKinstry, reminding
his hearers how hard he had to fight
to have the udge's name put on the
sand-lot ticket and retained there; he
denounced Judges Rix and Freclon.
and continued in the old familiar
strain, projecting dOuble-iointed cpl
thets against various persons in politi-
cal life or official station, showing that
imprisonment has not tempered the
spirit of his rhetoric. He made an
extended dissertation on the
green-back question, and spoke
for the national labor party, in
whose platform he said that green
backs were but one clement. 1t
was not greenback party, but a labor
party. He announced that he intend
ed to start on Wednesday morning to
attend the national convention OF that
party at Chicago. People said to him
that old Grant would be elected if
they persisted in running third tick
ct. What the devil did he care for
Grant. Grant had nothing to do with
him. People said that the fight was
going on between Grant and Tilden.
He knew it; but the workingmen
were going to have candidate in the
field, and the chances were in his
favor. I'VE can either elect a work
ingman or a republican" said he.
The democrats say, if you don't vote
for us you will elect a republican.
What do | care so long as our ticket
is ELECTED. As long as the fights mar
rowed down to one between the demo
Gratis and the republicans, we can hold
the republicans responsible fop what
is done In Office. They say the repub.
licans have stolen everything Wen
take care not to let the democrats have
chance to steal anything in their
turn. One party is enough to do the
stealing" Kearney announced that
he was too poor to pay his way to Chi
cago, and he exhorted for liberal CON
tIbptioHs. The collectors passed
around among the audience, and found
Sl08 20 in their hats. This did not
satisfy Kearney, and he commenced to
ask for more, and kept on like Oliver

General Garfield then stepped for

into unnatural prominence. To an
extent has it succeeded, as perfume

Tracy, of Brooklyn, and under ordi-
nary circumstances, makes good i'm
preston. But the platform of a
great convention, in the presence Of
10000 people, is not a common place,
and the nomination of a presidential
candidate is not exactly an every day
occurrence. In comparison With his

A Vulgar GaIOOt who Wanted
Free Advertising.

The New York papers are discuss
ing the case of MIR. Lackmeier, pro
prietor of st. Marks hotel, Staten
Island, who refused New York lady
of American parentage and descen
dant of General Israel Putnam, of
revolutionary tame, lodgings at his
hotel because her husband was Jew,
declaring that he intended to fol-
low the example Of Messrs. Hill
ton and Corbin, of Saratoga and
Uoney Island, respectively, and keep
the Hebrews away from his place.
Some of the New York papers mildly
abused Lackmeier Tor this, but he
did not get half the denunciation that
Hilton and Corbin did, and perhaps it
is well that he did not, for an investi-
CATION has convinced one of the New
York dailies that Lackmeier's idea in
refusing to receive this lady was to
get his hotel advertised and talked
about. Very few people in New York
knew where st. Marks hotel was sit
uated, and Lackmeier thought it
would be cheaper to get himself and
his hotel talked about in the newspa-
pers than pay for advertisements.

on each side of the hall, in direct
communication with the delegates,
press representatives and stage. Re
porters' tables will be placed in two
rows in front of the stage. Delegates
will have the front portion of the hall
Ladies will be admitted to raised seats
on rear of stage. The decoration will
be simple, the grandeur of the interior
of the hall itself forbidding any elab-
crate display. The committee is as.
sured that railroads all over the coun'
try will give reduced rates to persons
