TEMPERANCE PICKLES.
CANTON, o., September Is, 1883.
To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
1 have seen so much in THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
about whisky pickles that | am induced TO offer
the following, which know to be good. No one
need fear that TO cat them will make anybody's
head swim, unless it is with delight. Use small
eumbers. wash them and pack in a keg, a layer OF
cucumbers to layer of sugar. Finish with thick
layer of sugar on top. Use about much sugar as
you generally do of salt in making brine. The
sugar and cucumber juice ferment, making excel
lent vinegar, and the pickles, done up this way,
keep their bright green color. heavy weight
should be placed upon the pickles after packing.
For table use take out two three quarts at
time. place in jar and turn over spiced vinegar,
adding to the same vinegar as they are consumed.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
"a D." says she awaits the advice of the
editor to the young girl on the kissing question.
But it will be remembered that she asked the
advice of our correspondents. The editor re-
serves her remarks until they have fully ex-
pressed themselves. Read what Louise NJ"
says.
A correspondent asks which form is right in
quoting, "To the manor born" or, To the
manner born" If she will turn to Hamlet,
Act ], Scene A, it will all be made plain, viz:
= But 60 my mind-tiough am native here,
And to the manner born-iti is a custom
More honored in the breach than in the obser-
vance"
Before the subject of cornet-playing for girls
is dropped it may be said that noted musi-
clan recommends horn-blowing for women to
strengthen their lungs. He thinks his wife
was saved from threatened consumption by
such practice.

woMAN's PART IN THE G. A R.
Colonel r. B. Brown, in the GAINESVILLE TO-
| Courier pays fine tribute to woman's work in
| the civil war, and the part she now undertakes
| to do in the work of Relief Corps, from which
| the following extracts are taken:
The history of the war is, and will continue to be
! % surprising interest for century to come but
| there is one side of that awful struggle which ha.
been overshadowed IN the more exciting narratives
OF how great avalanehes of organized might and
| right swept treason from the land-the quiet, con
tinuous, effective aid vouchsafed by the mothers
wives, and daughters OF the country. Without the
sympathy and the heroic sacrifices OF the womer
| the rebellion could not have been crushed. The
old soldiers from end of the land to the other
perpetuate the memories and fraternities of the
war in the organization appropriately styled the
| Grand Army of the Republic This society has {
place in our social system, and duty to perform
in the active benevoience and philanthropy OF th:
age.
But this duty does not wholly belong to the com
rades whe wore the blue. The loyal women of tht
country true to the inspiration which prompted
heroic deeds from 81 to 65, claim share in tina
social structure which keeps alive the memories O
the past and iealously guards the interest sf thu
present. And thus it came that the weman's Re
lief Corps followed the organization of the GranC
Army as an auxiliary in the benevolent work o
the Order The Relief Corps exists in nearly ever,
jurisdiction in the United States. and in the large
clblSS OF oHlo has accomplished q W0rfu OF good
This is notably true in Columbus and Toledo |
Is proposed to organize a Corps in GAINESVILLE an,
the necessary blanks have been received. A meet
ing VIII be held at an early day TO lnaugurate thi
movement, and as 1t has received the hearty in
dorsement of Hazlett Post, with assurances of gen
erous aid and support FROM many of our ladies' tn
GAINESVILLE Woman's Relief Corps, auxiliary to th
Grand Army of the Republic, will soon be added 4
the benevolent enterprises Of our city.

The press of business of the Relief Corps has pre-

your valuable paper. We are earnestly at work il
Massachusetts preparing the printed matter fo
the use of the National Organization, and reeic
that it is nearly complete. The large amount o
correspondence has filled all the time could de

celycd answers to their letters that all hay,
received have been answered, but that my letter
Swampscott, and / have found since my return
that some of my personal letters did not reach me
and perhaps some official letters have not. If an,
have failed to receive the information required,
. should be most happy to hear from them.
Several Departments are earnestly at work, an,
