The Wellington enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 1867-188?, 1881-02-24

In only three of these States, to-witi
South Carolina, Mississippi and Louisi-
ana. could the solid colored vote, with
the Insignificant contingent of Northern.
born immigrants since the war, turn
the scale against the solid white vote.
But this irruption of the Mortimer
who "overran the Southland seems
all the more ludicrous when we turn to
compare it with Kansas, which alone,
during the same period, received more
than eighty thousand carpet-bag"
Larvae from the Southern States
three times as many men, just as
hungry for office, just as greedy
of spoils, and far greater pro-
portion of them consisting of those who
left their country for their country's
of runaway "moonshiners'' and Ku-
Klux. Yet plucky little Kansas is not
soverrun" She still opens wide her
arms and cries, ''Come one, come allr'
She welcomes alike the $4,000 white
Kentucky carpet-baggers and the 50,-
600 colored refugees from the ''bull-
dozer's" paradise, who sought her bor-
ders last year, and still is not ''over-
runr' The soul of John Brown still
marches on in the State of Ossawatto-
mie, and advertises every day for more
!'larve. From Judge Iourgee's letter
in N. Y. Tribune. e
16-A neglected political genius liv-
ing in Bergen County, New Jersey. has
made the startling discovery that Gar
field is not eligible to the Presidency
because he went to Europe for few
months in the summer of 1867. This
individual. who bears the luminous
name of Day, has printed a circular.
He argues that as the Constitution says
a person must have been fourteen
years a resident within the United
States to be eligible to the Office of
President Congress should proceed
to reject Garfield and declare Hancock
elected. Where is BarnumP He ought
to send for Day forthwith. Here is
chance to make fool of himself once
more before lapsing into everlasting
obscurity.-N. =. 1TibAne.

Some two weeks ago our esteemed
ncighbor the Bulletin madc state
mcnt in regard to tho number of bales
of cotton shipped by rail from this
city for Il given period this year, which
statement rilcd 60; Trenton FIRM" and
for which folly (?) our ncighbor was
brought to task. To heal this breach
our cruditc ncighbor performs func-
ton wholly at varience with any well
regulated newspaper that docs not fear
to express its sentiments, for which
apology is only necessary when its
statements arc erroneous. The Bull
lctin was not guilty of this as its state
lncnt was corrcct-and now. we arc
getting at tho core of our argument.
We glance over it and notice that it
has tsskull1ed," to use a slang express
sion, paying its regards to our neigh
boring city this week in reference to
the amount of cotton it has shipped
thus far this season, and saying not one
whit about Monroc's shipments; nor
does it delvc into tho matter to asccr-
tain that one-half to two-thirtls of the
cotton shipped from Trenton ri0 Mon
roc is cotton shipped from the interior
towns west of tho Ouachita ria Trenton
and belongs to other parties than
Trenton merchants. Now VIC don't
bcgrudgc a single bale of cotton that
our neighboring city receives, on tho
contrary VIC want to see her prosper,
and if she desires to blow her bazoO
and let the world know what she is
why doesn't a member Of that Trenton
firm let our neighbor have the facts of
what transpircs weekly in his city?
The Monroe press desires such nows
and is thankful for its reception.

Discipline.

There Vas very aged gentleman
who in my boyhood visited often at my
fathers house. He had been q mem.
Der Of Parliament, which, in his young
days, implied even more social distinc-
ton than it does now. His manners
were charming. aud he was venerable
in character as we'll as in years. He
was very kind to me, and, boy as was,
treated ne with nevcr.failing courtesy.
One day, when 1 fretted little in his
presence under the bonds OF discipline,
he laid his hand upon my shoulder and
said: Let me tell you story of tho
great DR.. Parr. You know, of course.
who Le was; what power he was in
literature, in politics, and in the church.
One day dined in company with him,
wig and his little black silk apron that
he wore like bishop. The converse
ton turned upon training in schools
and colleges; and there WAS o self.snf-
ficieRt young man at table who made
himself conspicuous by a disagreeable
and noisy denunciation of discipline, as
something that was calculated to break
down youth of spirit. Parr said moth
ing for while. but at last, taking ad
vantage of pause. he turned to the
young man and said, in his lisping way
I'm not thurprithed, thir. at your OBJ
lection to dithipline. Ditbipline, thir,
maketh the thcolar; dithipiine, thir,
msketh the gentleman, and the lack of
dithipline hath made you, thir-what
you are. ~ Richard Grant White.

Women VINO Gan Cook.

An Elglish contemporary AYERS that
al Austrian ladies are accomplished
cooks. Ibis probably explains why
complaints of dyspepsia and stories Of
immortality 30 seldom come from Aus
trian sources. Food properly prepared
never disarranges the human digestion
or infsmes the blood, but such food
cannot be had with certainty if the ia
Bile depends entirely upon the skill and
temper of q hired cook. Ladies who
manage their own kitchens. or are COM
petent to do so. may be sure that their
families will have food that is properly
cooked and appropriate to the season.
There is something ine1plicable about
American ignorance of the art Of cook
ing.
In Europe even gentlemen take pride
In being able to prepare certain dishes,
and ladies are glad to be known as
practical managers of their respective
households. Here. however. strong
adults and feeble infants are alike de-
pendent upon the ignoramus of the
kitchen. We're some Of the Industry

Protect Grapes With Paper Sacks.

1t has been our custom for some
years to protect about half the lunches
Of grapes with sacks Of paper or cloth.
The paper sacks cost less, but are not
80 easily applied as those made OF light
cotton cloth. The latter last three or
four seasons. The sacks are made
about eight or nine inches long by five
inches wide. The cotton sacks have a
draw string by which tb"v are fastened
after the cluster o! G.. ..es has been
slipped in. Those made of paper are
fastened on by pinning. They should
be put on when the grapes are not
larger than pea.
1t has been noticed that when the
sacks have been left eff until the
grapes are full size they are not always
entirely protected from blight or rot.
Yet even at that time OF covering We
have found the process a decided bepe-
ft. We are asked what is to be gained
by all this care. First, by inserting the
cluster Of grapes into sack, it is pro-
tected against fungus. which, on the
modern theory, is the cause of grape-rot.
That it does protect and prevent rotting,
if done when the grapes are OF the size
Of q pea or buckshot, there is abun-
dance of proof. Our experience is that
We never found inferior or specked
grapes in a cloth or paper sack, and we
have put on the sacks from the time
they we're the size of peas on to the
time they began to change color. The
second great advantage is the protection
afforded against the punctnre OF wasps
and the destruction of the grapes by
bees and insects. We advise persons
troubled with neighbors' bees to invest
in q few hundred paper sacks. The
grapes will be protected from the at
tacks of insects and fungus, and viii
abundantly repay all outlay. Then
too. the grapes are perfectly clean
which is an important item, and ONT
that will be appreciated by those living
near much-trsveled street or highway
We sack about half our grapes, ant
these are left until the others have beer
used. since they keep better in sacks
We thus prolong our season, improve
the quality of the grapes. while protect
ing the crop against fungus and insects
OF course it will be heavy task tt
protect large vineyard in this way
yet since tho protection is 80 complete
and cheap and the quality Of the frui
is improved, there is no doubt but tina
the grspe.grower will find it g means o
security and profit. L. n. 3.

Fashion Notes.

Stockings and shoes match dresses.
Skirts are made in as many different
ways Us the bodies.
The MAscotte takes the plaoo OF the
Rembrandt hat or bonnet.
Artistic fashion plates begin to ap-
pear in the fashion journals.
White curtains, except of, the finest
lace, are no longer fashionable.
White neck scarfs are bound all
around with hens of colored muslin.
Waists are worn either long. short or
medium; according to taste and fancy.
Corsets for summer wear are univer-
sally made Of net. They are also very
short.
Little people look best in waistband
bodies, allowing all the length OF skirt
possible.
Some new stockings have the foot in
one color, and the leg in another, or
in stripes.
Gigot pnffs in the armhole are a
feature of the Kate Greenawsy dresses
for little people.
Round, pointed, pulled, shlrred,
box pleated, position, coat, and tucked
basques are all worn.
Pink, blue, purple and black dotted
null is used for neck scarfs more than
plain white, blue or pink.
The princess dress for little girls
gives way before the Kate Greenawsy
and Mother Hubbard styles.
The Princess of Wales is regarded in
Paris as the queen Of fashion, whose
novelties must be copied by all.
The handsomestt thin window curtains
are of black silk gauze, on which are
hrocaded figures in old gold silk.
The favorite colors in Paris are lob.
ster pink. parrot green, red, moss green
and mustard, both dark and light.
Fashionable families in Now York
must now have both country and city
residences, or they lose caste. 1t is lit
tie hard on nen with extravagant wives.
