Corn Fritters. -One-half teacup but

and salt; one pint grated corn, beat it
up, and fry it on well buttered grid

If there is a gully started in the pas
ture and you can get rye once to catch,
it will hold and protect the young grass
until sward forms; and when billy
fields are cultivated in corn, if rye IS
sown in autumn, it will prevent the
washing, which often exhausts the field
more than the removal of crop.-The

let them stand over night, then drain,
put into glass jars and fill up with white

Tomato soup, if well seasoned, is
relished by almost everybody: To one
quart of water add eight large tomatoes,
cut them in small pieces, boil for twenty
minutes, then put in half teaspoonful
of soda, let it boil few minutes more,
then add about a pint of sweet milk;
season as you would oysters; bread
crumbs, sage, barley or rice may be
added.

Cider PreServatiye.

As the cider-making season will soon
be here, and as many persons would
like to keep cider sweet, so as to use it
for various purposes at times convenient
to them, l copy the following commune
cation from F. D. Slocum, published in
the Medical a'm Surgical Reporter of
Philadelphia "About year ago |
Analysed a sample of cider preserva-
tive that was being sold here at the rate
of two dollars per ounce; it was simply
salicyIic acid. 1t has been extensively
used here, and samples of cider that
have been kept from six months to 3
year still have the peculiar flavor of
sweet cider, and are sweet cider. One
ounce is sufficient for barrel of thirty
two gallons. Put the acid in the cider
and mix it well; then bung up. 1t will
not ferment."
The salcylic acid is quite cheap, an
ounce costing but trifle at the apothe-
cary's; while the packages sold as
cider preservativesn were two dollars
each The difficulty of preserving cider
free from fermentation has prevented its
use, save for few days after being
madh. 1t is a valuable drink-used

The had Condition OF the Party In
New York and Pennsylvania.
From the Telegraph,


The internal condition of the Repnbll-
can party in Pennsylvania at the present
time ts surely bad enough, but it is q
happy family compared with the Rspub-
licau organization 10 New York. Within
the past fort night scores of county ar d
district conventions have been held, and
the reports from the same are almost in.
credible. No direct kDock-downs have
taken place, but the reign OF confusion,
disorder, bitterness, and fraud has been
widespread and rninous, In some Sec
tions indeed, universal. Double con-
venti0Ds have been held in several pla-
ces, sometimes in the same room and at
the same time, and "bolts" seem to be
the order Of the day, with q long list OF
bogus and glaringly fraudulent s'con-
tests" already in preparation and with
which the State Convention will be dis.
tracted and rent as no similar Assem-
blage In the history Of the party has
ever been. And why all this turmoil,
bitterness, and disgrace? Simply because
one ambitious, arrogant, unprincipled,
and vengeful man is determined to rule
or ruin the party which has already
suffered such grievous injury at his
hands. In every case the trouble repor
ted 10 directly due to the ef1rts of the
misguided friends of Roscoe Conkling
The initial fight was over bis own ca u
didacy tor a seat in the State Conven
tion, and each subsequent unseemly
squabble has had direct bearing upon
the same ifsue. As the case stands, The
defeated and chagrined "Stalwsrt" lea
der 10 overwhelmingly and bopelessly
bsaten. The people, 30 far as they have
taken any inter t in the primaries, have
almost unanimously rejected "Stalwar
ism" and all that it implies. But the
"Machine" stroBgholds have yet to be
heard from, and it is openly declared
that Albany, Buffalo, New York city,
and Brooklyn will be SO manipulated by
the desperate and freshly-inspired ssstal-
warts" that, with aid of the present par.
ty organization, they will be enabled tt
control the Convention and carry thing.
therein with high hand. However
these contests may result, 1t is quite Ger
tain that the Republican outlook in New
York for November is gloomy beyonG
precedent. If the CoDkling element are
beaten in Convention they will deIiber.
ately betray the party at the polls; and Il
they succeed In 'tbossing'' the Conven-
ton, everything indicates that the ou,,
ragged people of the rural districts, from
TO Lake George and from the Hudson to
Lake Erie, will arise In the majesty Of
their power and stamp the life out OF the
odious "Bosses." This is the precise
situation in New York, and plain men
here and elsewhere, may as well look .
PLAIN fact squarely in the face. To sucl
pass has ConkliDgism and Stalwart
ism brought the great Republican part,
In the Empire State.
