WASHINGTON CITY, Nov. 13.-Indian Com
missioner Price has been giving his views on
the temperance question in politics. He pre-
diets the organization of National Tenn
perance party. This party" he says will
be small at first, as well as the Abolition
party; but, as it is founded on human sym
pathy-the betterment of the condition of
the people-it will grow in popular esteem
until it wll, believe, become power in the
land, and finally sweep the country. Both
the political parties are now flirting with the
temperance people; neither is sincere in its
professions toward them; and the result viii
be, as l have said, new party, with temper

Mcdonald and the presidency

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 1S.-An intimate
acquaintance of Senator Mcdonald, referring
to the senator's supposed aspiration to the
presidential chair, says: ''The senator seldom
speaks of that matter, not even mentioning
it 10 his business partners There is
no doubt but that he is before the
people - that is, if they want him
for the office, he win accept. But l
do not believe the senator will be disap-
pointed should he failto receive the nomina-

what may transpire within the next year.

Giving a $4,000 Horse to a King.

The steamship Birmqnia, which
sails at noon to-day 10th ult., y for
Italy from the Mediterranean Docks,
Brookly, will carry Mr.. John w.
Garrett's gift to the King of Italy, the
noble horse named Damascus, which
is valued at $4,000. Quarters for the
animal have been fitted up on the
forward deck of the ship just aft of
the forcastle.
Damascus stands about fifteen hands
high, is of light chestnut color, with
white face and two white marks
running from the coronet midway to
the fetlocks on the high legs. His
coat is as fine as silk and shone like
mirror. The horse was foaled by
the Arabian mare Esneas in 1874, the
sire being Hamlet.
Mr.. ID. e. Curran, who has made
slxty'six ocean voyages in charge of
cattle for Mr.. F. r. Lingham, the
Well-known shipper of American
live stock to Europe, has been espe-
cially detailed to accompany and care
for the horse. The landing will take
place at Genoa and thence the journey
will be made to Rome by rail, where
Damascus will be delivered to Mr.. w.
W. Story, the sculptor, who will
present him to the King of Italy on
Mr.. Garrett's behalf.
Mr.. Story has been commissioned
to produce facsimile of the horse
in marble for the King, for which he
is to receive $4,000.
The King, it is said, as an acknowl-
edgment of Mr.. Garrett's gift, will

How to Prepare Potatoes.

There is nothing in the whole range
of vegetables which one oftener finds
poorly cooked than the commonest of
all-potatoes and yet nothing is SIM
pier if one only appreciates the fact
that potato requires as careful cook
ing as any other vegetable. Indeed
there Is no other that is as easily
spoiled in cooking. 1t matters not
how good the potatoes were original
ly, if the water is not poured off as
soon as they are done, and the pota-
toes set back on the range a moment
to dry, they will not be palatable.
Some cooks seem to have no idea of
proportion when they select potatoes
to cook, but will put large and small
in Kettle together, and take them
up at the same time, or they will set
the kettle on one side of the range in
a hole that is barely one quarter over
the fire, and part of the potatoes will
be boiled to pieces before the rest are
done. If potatoes boil very fast they
will boil to pieces before they are
done in the ecentre. They should cook
steadily and have plenty of water on
them. and if it boiIs nearly off, even
if they are almost done, it should be
replenished with boiling water. If
ii is impossible to select potatoes of
the same size, cut the large ones the
size of the small ones, or put the large
ones to boil ten minutes sooner. Old
potatoes should be thinly peeled with
a sharp knife, and the spots and eyes
taken out, and il for breakfast, should
lay oyer night in cold water if for
dinner an hour or two. They should
be put into fresh cold water when put
over the fire, and it will improve
them to pour the water off when they
have boiled five or ten minutes, and
put on fresh hot water, allowing a
teaspoon of salt to each quart of
water, This will do away with the
strong taste old potatoes often have.
When they are done, pour the water
off and set the kettle over the fire a
moment, and carefully move the po-
tatoes about with spoon so they will
dry on all sides, taking care that they
do not get hot enough to brown, and
you will find all the little pieces that
may have boiled off will be dry and
mealy; then set the kettle on the
back of the range, with towel over
it, if they cannot be served imme-
diately. New potatoes should always
be put into boiling water and it is
best to prepare them just in time for
cooking. They do not require peel
ing, but can be washed and the skin
scraped off, or boiled with the skin
on, They are nice steamed if the skin
is removed first. If small they can
be made inviting by pouring over
them, when put into the dish for
the table, some milk thickened like
gravy, and seasoned with salt and
pepper and generous piece of but

by those who knew General Lee, all
the officers retired, except, perhaps.
one staff officer of General Grants
and the one who was with General
Lee. We had not been absent from
the room longer than about FIVE min
utes, when General Babcock came to
the door and said; 1.-THE surrender
has taken place-you can come in
again."
When we re-entered, General Grant
was writing at a little wooden, clip
tical shaped table purchased by me
from Mclean and presented to Mrs.
G. A. CUSTER the conditions of the
surrender. General Lee was sitting,
his hands resting on the hilt of his
sword, to the left of General Grant,
with his back to small marble
topped table, on which many books
were piled. While General Grant
was writing, friendly conversation
was engaged in By General Lee and
his aid with the officers present, and
he took from the breast pocket two
dispatches, which had been sent to
him by me during the forenoon, noti-
flying him that some of his GalYary,

agreement entered into by Withdraw
ing. had not had time to make

remark: 81 am sorry. It's possible

did not fully understand the agree
ment."
About one hour was occupied in
drawing up and signing the terms,
when General Lee retired from the
house with a cordial shake of the
hand with General Grant, mounted
his chunky, gray horse, and lifting
his hat, passed through the gate and
rode over the crest of the hill to his
army, On his arrival there we heard
wild cheering, which seemed to be
taken up progressively by his troops,
either for him or because of satisfac-
tion with his last official act as a
soldier.
