with. Therefore
Reso[ped. That We. the National Assccia-

A Liuely Meeting.-The Republican Con-
yention to nominate candidates for the
House OF Delegates will meet at Midlothian
Monday. Wednesday night the voters Of
Manchester township met TO elect their
delegates, which duty was not performed
before "tbe spirit Of the OCCASION" or
some other equally potent agency, caused
affairs TO assume very lively and at one
time threatening attitude. As related, for
some reason misunderstanding arose be-
tween State Senator Joseph Walker and
Colonel William f. Giddings. This seemed
to be nursed bg both, according to our adj
vices, and finally eliminated In Colonel
Giddings drawing q pocket fusee ana
threatening to annibilate Walker. Tue lat'
ter did not subside under this pressure, but
finally and happily all differences were COM
posed, and the election proceeded 10 order,
resulting in the choice OF the following

Richmond and DdnuiUe RdilrOad Notes.
The.new moulding and foundry buildings
are expected to be completed by November.
The bricklayers will finish their part this
week. The roof OF the Office OF the new
buildings was finished Yesterday; plaster
ing will be commenced to-day.
The new foundry will allow OF the en-
plovment OF ffty.eight hands. Heretofore
only sixteen could be employed, though
many more could have gotten work bad
there been room for them. The new works
will be enabled to make car-wheels and
axles, but the company contemplates the
making i'm time entire their own engines.
This desideratum, the company bolds, IS " q
contamination most deyoutly to be wished"
Included in machinery recently arrived Is
spleudid steam trip. and forge hammer
the largest and most powerful in Yirginia),
with latest Improvements. IL is a marvel OF
mechanical ingenuity. and can shape iron,
however minute or pOnder0us, in any de-
sired form.
The improvements now going on about
the old shops involve an expenditure OF
nearly S20O,000, the latest and most im.
proved machinery for all sorts Of railroad
work having been procured, with the full
aim OF Being abreast OF the times In railroad
work. Yesterday evening the Debris OF the
wreck caused By the casualty Of Monday at
Granite was brought in. Engine No. III,
on which Driver Moseley was killed, was
perfectly mutilated in front. Both cSin-
ders were broken to pieces, and the smoke
stack carried away. Repairs will cost about
81, 900. No. 1l3-the engine run into at
Granite-had its tender broken and the
front works broken. Cost OF repair about
81, 800.
No. SO, new engine from Rogers's fac.
tory at Paterson, y. j., coal-burner and
a superior machine, purchased for passen-
ger.car use, was one Of two drawing
freight-trains) which cOllided at News
Ferry, Halifax county, on Tuesday. IL
was on trial at the time. Il was a rough
experience for first run, but the engine
stood it as well as could be expected, pos
sibly better. No. SO is very much injured,
the front part, the pilot, lamp, and smoke
stack. all being crushed beyond recognition
so far as their original uses were concerned.
The Danyllle Railroad works employ hun
dreds of men, and the number will be IN
creased as time passes. 1t IS an exceed
ingly lively place-for work.

THE HOUSEHOLD.


In the first place, be sure that you have a
good quality Of meal, for there is wide diff
ference in kinds. Get that which is fresh, as
when il gets old II becomes bitter. For fam
lily Of Eve or six take two small teacupfuls Of
the meal, put il into two-quart basin, and
mix with il large even tablespoonful Of salt;
then pour on boiling water, stirring the meal
as you do so, until within an inch and quar-
ter of the top of the basin. Set the basin on
top of the stove, and stir enough to prevent
the meal settling and sticking on the bottom.
Let It remain on the stove five or ten minutes,
or until the meal has become fully Incorporate
ed with the water then set inside your steam
er, which cover closely, and keep the water
under it boiling an hour and half or two
hours, stirring up once in the time then re-
move from the fire and carry to the table. It
will be light and moist, but not salvy and
every grain will be separate and swelled to its
utmost extent. Try it and see if you do not
pronounce it better than when cooked in the
old-fashioned way of boiling in q kettle and
stirring till done, as you have to do to keep it
from settling and burning on the kettle, by
which process it becomes, by the time II is
ready to serve, a sticky conglomeration, not
appetizing to the sight or toothsome to the
taste. This process is also good for cooking
rice. It saves watching and stirring, and
makes it perfectly tender without breaking
the kernels and cooking them into mush.

HANDY HINTS -Broil steak without salt
ing Salt draws the juices in cooking, and it
is desirable to keep these in If possible. Cook
over hot fire, turning frequently, soaring on
both sides
Finger stains may often be removed by rub
bling the paper thus soiled with crumbs of
stale bread, or with bit of fine muslin with
n dust of whiting on it, or with an India rub
Der eraser.
The skin of boiled egg is the most effca-
cious remedy that can be applied to a boil.
Peel it carefully, wet and apply it to the part
affected. 1t will draw of the matter and re-
lieve the soreness in few hours.
The use of benzine is recommended for the
removal of moths and ants from furniture
and woollen garments small watering pot
with a fine-nozzle sprinkler, is filled with the
benzine, which can be bought for 45 cents a
gallon, and the upholstery, carpets or gar
ments to be cleansed are thoroughly sprinkled
with the liquid. Furs, hannels, etc. may be
subjected to the same process. In few
| hours the benzine will dry out, and in a day
| or two the odor will have entirely disappeared
and much sooner if the articles are placed
| in the open air. Considerable caution is nee
essary in the use of benzine, as it is highly
inhammable. Have no fire, burning light or
matches in the room.
All KINDS OF perry STAINS may De removed
by pouring boiling water on, or rather through
the stained spot; hold the garment over a tub
or wash bowl, and keep pouring on the boil
ing water until the stain disappears. This
must be done before soap has been used OIL
any attempt made to wash out the spot.
Sweet apple stains may be removed by dip
ping the stained cloth in the juice of ripe tom
Gtoes, then lay it in the sunshine for few
hours. 1t may be necessary to repeat the
operation several times. 1 have removed the
dew by covering the spot with a mixture Of
soap and lemon juice, and laying the carmen
in the sunshine. 1t is best not to sprinkle
clothes at night, when it is hot and damp, a.
they are likely TO mildew before morning.
