west OF the Allegheny mountains.
This factory was fired by wood. This
same factory used wood ashes in
great quantities. The old-fashioned
canoe in those by-gone days could
lie seen moored at the mouth of
Georges creek, loaded with ashes
for the furnace; and pack horses, la
den with the same, would travel in
a radius of miles to exchange for the
necessaries of life. Mr. Gallantin
at an early day manufactured mus
kets in this little village. In the
year 1871 the whiskey insurgents
held their first meeting at Redstone's
old fort. Gallatih was made Secre-
tary of the meeting. But though
there were many prominent men who
had taken part-whose efobject-
like Gallatin's-was to extricatc the
people from the disastrous conse-
quences of a violent opposition to the
laws.

SENATOR'S IN THE SADDLE.
Mcssrs. Davis, Camden m. Ifayard.
and u IN nsfOm IL ide 200 Miles.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, July 80.
"A distinguished party Of gentle
men, consisting Of Senators Henry
G. Davis and j. N. Camden, of West
Virginia; Thomas Bayard, Of Della
ware, and John w. Johnston, of Vir-
ginia, and others, arrived here after
a trip of 200 miles ON horseback last
ing nearly ten days, through a noun
tain wilderness in West Virginia.
They are connected with the West
Virginia Central and Pittsburgh
Railroad, which is to be an extension
of the Richmond and Allegheny
Railroad. They were accompanied
part of the way by Secretary of the
Treasury Window, the Hon. r. b.
Elkins, of New Mexico, and Alexan-
der Shaw, of Baltimore, and the whole
route by L. E. Sickles, consulting en-
gineer of the Union Pacific Railroad;
Lewis Baker, ex-Speaker George H..
Moffett ..and Col. Isaac Moore, of
West Virginia. Mr.. Sickles is the
Chief Engineer of the projected
road, and the trip was taken for the
purpose of locating the route through
an undeveloped territory. Senator
Bayard enthusiastically describes the
ride as one of the most delightful he
ever enjoyed. The party passed
through country largely virgin, the
soil of which is of the richest char
acter, finely timbered and with an i'm
mense deposit of coal and iron. More
than half Of the journey was per-
formed over mountains and streams
and without roads, q pioneer corps
having cut away the logs and timber
SO as to admit the passage of horses.
This enterprise is spoken of as of
national Importance, such men, in
addition to those already mentioned,
as Secretary Blaine, ex-Senators
Barnum, Chaffee and Whyte,of Mary
land, and Messrs. Keene, Keyser, q.
S. Grant,Jr., and other capitalists, be-
ing actively engaged in promoting it.
The design is to connect with the
Baltimore and Ohio Road at Pied
mont, with the Richmond and Allie
gheny Road at Clifton Forge, land with
the Chesapeake and Ohio at this
point.
When the exploring party reached
the summit between the Cheat and
Greenbrier waters, in Pocahontas
county, a beautiful knoll, clothed
with a verdure of blue grass, was
christened Mount Bayard, with APP
propriate ceremonies, in honor of the
Delaware Senator. This point is the
apex of the two Virginias, lat the head
Of all the Virginia waters, and is now
for the first time ascertained to be the
highest eleyation-4,625 feet-aboye
the level OF the sea of the whole Al
legheny range. The view from it is
described as being grand and inn
pressive beyond description. The
maximum grade Of the new route, as
determined by Engineer Sickles, is
forty two feet to the mile. Secretary
Blaine has arranged, circumstances
permitting, to spend the month OF
September on the road.

Those contemplating trip westward
will certainly do well to carefully con
suit the time tables of the Baltimore
and Ohio road Its celebrated fast
trains, its sure connections, and rates
always as low as the lowest, make it
beyond all controversy the best line
west. Colonists are carried in first
class cars on fast trains, and every
possible care is taken to insure comfort
and convenience. BY the Baltimore
and Ohio only is the choice Of routes
offered to the west, via st. Louis or
Chicago; and IN either case, trains run
through without change of cars. Di
rect connection is made at both cities
with all leading lines to the west,
northwest and southwest, and there is
but single change of cars to Iowa,
Kansas Nebraska, Texas. Minnesota
etc. No other line can offer such adj
vantagbs as the Baltimore and Ohio.
1t costs but very little time and trou
bic to learn this, and in the end may
lead to the saving of much Of both as
well as m ne5-. Above all things do
not putehase tickets before having a

GAPEs IN CHICKENs.-This disease
has been, and is, one of the greatest
hindrances to poultry raising, and
our best authorities inform us that
its origin is not yet understood-ex-
cept so far as that it is worm or
worms in the throat. We give a
remedy based on actual experiment
and observation sufficient to warrant
the conclusion that it will cure every
time-and that is fresh new milk,
with a strong infusion of black pep
per-not SO strong bnt that the MKT
ure is still liquid-poured down
the chickens throat two or three
times, say a half teaspoonful at
time.

Potato Salad. Pare and slice one
eithth Of an inch thick J, one half gal
lon of potatoes that have been boiled
and place in tin pan; sprinkle one
teaspoonful each of salt, ground mus
tard and sugar; take half pint Of

and fry until it is well Drowned and
will float in grease; then add the
same amount of chopped onions.
When the onions are well cooked add
one egg, beat lightly and mix with
one pint of good cider vinegar; stir
well and let boil; pour the mixture
over the potatoes, cover tightly and
set in a warm place for two hours, and
it will be ready for the tables
Remedy for Diptheria.-A Wash
ington physician gives to the public
the following prescription which he
has never known to fail. Our readers
can take it for what it is worth:
Sub sulph. of iron or Monsel's salt
of iron, one drachm; water. six ounces
or one and a-half gills; sugar to suit
the taste; mixed.
The dose varies with the age and
the virulence of the contagion. For
child from one to five years, one
fourth of teaspoonful.
To remove proud flesh, pulyerise
loaf sugar very fine and apply it to
the part affected This is new and
easy remedy, and is said to remove
it without pain; or burnt alum pull
verified and applied is an old and re-
liable remedy.
Summer weather entails small
plague of flies and insects; and it is
therefore well to remember that the
prompt application of an alkali to the
bitten part allays the irritation. So
da and ammonia will answer the pur-
pose.
"White worms" or any other
worms in pots, may be destroyed by
sticking few common matches in
the soil, also one or two in the drain
opening. The phosphorus on the
match is certain death to animal life,
and a powerful fertilizer for plants.
HARD SoAr.-A lady subscriber
asks us to publish d recipe for soap.
We hope the following, which we
take from an exchange, will prove
satisfactory: Take twelve pounds of
grease, twelve pounds of sal soda, six
pounds of lime. Put eight gallons of
warm water on the lime and soda;
let it stand over night, and in the
morning pour it carefully on the
grease. Put more water on the lime
to fill up with as it boils. Boil two
hours. If the grease is very salt it
must be freshened. Cut in cakes and
leave in the air to dry.

RAISING CELERY.-On the Both day
Of July last we set out 500 celery
plants, for which we paid IS and 25
cents in addition for express charges.
A dollar hundred is more than they
ought to cost, but the plants we got
were good ones, and hardly one of
them failed to grow. The extreme
drought which followed in August
and September prevented their grow
ing very fast, and we feared we had
started them so late that they would
not get large enough before the
ground froze to make good celery.
But we kept the land we'll cultivated,
frequently stirring it between the
rows and the plants (Which were set
about ten inches apart, with the
rows five feet apart, and about the
last of September began the blanch-
ing process by killing up the plants
to within about three inches of the
tops. They seemed to grow faster
after this than before, and at Thanks
giving time we had as fine celery as
could be found in the market. 1t was
removed to the stable cellar as soon
as the ground threatened to freeze
up, being closely packed in box in
the same earth in which it grew. And
from those 800 plants a family as
fond of celery as most people have
bad all they wanted every day from
Thanksgiving until the middle of
February, with some to spare for the
neighbors. 1t is not safe to put off
the setting out of the plants as late
as the last of July, though in this
uit proved early enough. But

SERVING VEGETACLEs.-~One of the
most delicious ways to serve the ear
ly vegetables is this: Take new po-
tatoes and young beets, boil until
done in separate kettles, then slice
into the dish in which they are to be
put on the table; first put layer of
potatoes, sprinkled with pepper and
salt and little Jumps of butter; then
layer of beets, treated in the same
way, and so on until the dish is full,
then pour over all a little sweet cream,
or milk, if you cannot get cream, on
ly little, not enough to make a
sloppy sort of dish, but so that there
will be few spoonfuls in the bottom
of the dish, which every one will wish
for This, with a tender, juicy
beefsteak, cooked on wire gridir0n
over Goals, tempting salad, good
bread and butter and iced tea, with
some very light dessert, makes din
her for which one may be thankful.
CANNING.-A lady says in the
Fruit Recorder: We have ten acres
of fruit of all kinds, and l take a
great deal of pride in canning fruit.
wish you Americans could just
peep into my cellar to see my tema-
toes and peaches-some canned last
fall and some a yeas ago, not men
tioning my other fruit. l will tell
you how l can my tomatoes both red
and yellow. pick the apple toma-
toes-the smoothest and best shaped
and scald and skin them very care
fully; take the stem out with pen
knife, taking care not to cut the to-
mato so as to let the juice or seeds
run out; then / place them in the
cans, some of them with the stem end
next to the can and some with the
blossom ends; then / take the juice
that has run out of some that | have
had pee'e to cook, having no seeds
nor pulp, and little salt, and pour
on my whole tomatoes until nearly
full, then place them in kettle of
cold water and let them cook until l
think they are hot clean through;
then | seal them. / use nothing but
glass jars-two-quart jars-and af-
ter the cover has been on about five
minutes take it off so they will set
tie, letting the gas out; then / fill up
with juice and seal again. and my
cans are always full to the cover. A
great many have not learned this.
You have no idea how nice they will
look through the glass-they show
every vein and rib and look as if they
were put up raw, and, when used,
they are just as if they had been tax
en- from the vines, and if you don't
believe me try it this summer. l al
ways keep my fruit in the dark and
it don't fade through the glass. Now,
l will tell you how ! can pears
and peaches. l get them as near of
a size as l can, and sound, but ripe
and peel them, dropping them in
cold water as fast as l peel, having
my cans all ready; then / fill the jars
with fruit, and to every two-quart
can l melt one-half pound white sug
ar with water enough to cover the
fruit, and pour it on, setting them in
my boiler, which holds eight cans;
as soon as they are heated through l
take them out, having syrup ready to
fill up, then / seal as with tomatoes.
