We buy largely and always for Cash
We represent our Goods to be only

The General Verdict.

The general verdict of the November
States leaves the parties about ensy In
honors for the start in the Presidential
race, The only material odds of the year
being in the Democratic gain Of Ohio.
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,, Con
necticut, Minnesota and Nebraska are
Republican, and Maryland Virginia
New York and New Jersey are Demo
cratic. New York was distracted BY
Kelley speculation and faciious feuds,
but the. vote shows that the State is
Democratic. New Jersey, Maryland
and Virginia were all holly contested,
but they are safely anchored for Dem
ocratic Electoral votes in 1884.
The greater peril to the Democracy
was tie Virginia contest. Had Malone
won Virginia, that State would have
been transferred to the Republicans
and it would have been only the begin.
ming of the end of Democratic rule in
the South. But Malone is beaten, and
he may now 60 to the Republican
National Convention, but the vote OF
his State won't be in his pocket
The two parties start pretty nearly
square for 1884, with the only odds in
the Ohio Democratic victory, and the
diminishing of 1888 settles nothing
beyond the fact that the great battle
of next year is entirely unsettled and
must settle itself, The party that now
best serves its country in the coming
Congress. will best serve itself in the
struggle for the Presidency.

The " WhyN in Vegetable Cookery.

Why should beans never be put
into cold water to soak, as is often re-
commended? Because all the nutri-
tious portion of the bean is extracted
by the process. They should be washed
in warm water, then in cold, be tied
loosely in a cloth, be put into boiling
water, with a spoonful of dripping and
a little salt in it, and be kept boiling
for four hours, They are then excel
lent if served with gravy, and not with
melted butter. They serve as garnish
around roast mutton or beef, and are
excellent eating served whole or as a
puree To make the latter, when the
beans are done throw them instantly
into cold water, when the skins Will
slip of. Rub the beans through a
colander, and mix lump of butter
with them. A little stock, or milk,
or cream is excellent mixed in.
Why should plenty of fast boiling
water be used in boiling vegetables,
potatoes excepted? Because the
greater the boGy of boiling water tho
heat. If only little water be used,
the whole affair soon cools, and the
vegetables become tough, so much so
that no length of time in boiling them
will render them otherwise. Broccoli
sprouts in April, if properly cooked by
boiling them for eight minutes in
boiling water, will be tender as mar
row; but, if not properly done, hours
will not cook them.
Why should onions be always cut in
round and very thin rings? Because
the fiber is thus cut across, and in SO
cutting them, whether for frying or
for making sauce, they are rendered
very tender when cooked. With tur-
nips and carrots it is just the same;
neither of the three should be split or
cut in any other way.
Why should parsley never be boiled
with soda-only boiling water and
salt? Because parsley, having no oil
in it, would be spoiled with soda and
all flavor would be extracted. All
parsley should be picked free from the
stem, be put into plenty of boiling
water with salt and in summer he
boiled only one minute, and in winter
two minutes, and be strained and
chopped on the back of plate. If
only little water is used in boiling it,
the water becomes brown, and the
parsley tough and ill Favored.
Why should vinegar for picking
with never be boiled? Because boil
ing takes all the strength from it,
Whatever vegetables are to be picked
should first be made soft with boiling
water strong with salt and then be
well drained and the vinegar poured
over.
Why should two ounces of salt and
a bit of washing soda always be put
in the water to boil greens in? Be
cause the salt crisps the greens and
favors them, and the soda extracts the
oil, which is greatly injurious to the
