Roast Meat.

Roast Meat.
An "Old Housekeeper'' writes: 81
would like to tell Young Housekeeper'
my way Of cooking rib roast, which is a
very good piece to bake. Have your
butcher take out the ribs and roll up
the meat nicely and keep it together by
tying piece of clean cord around it.
Skewers are in the way and prevent
carving nicely. Have your oven about
a.. hot as when you bake bread, and
keep the same heat until the meat il
done. A five-pound roast requires three
quarters of an hour in the oven if you
like it quite rare. Pepper and sail
your meat and put it in the dripping
pan without any water or dripping; tc
b9 perfect it must be basted with thu
drip of the meat. When done remove
the meat, set the pan on the top OF the
stove, and stir in as much -four as you
need to thicken the gravy. Whe1

Democratic RetrOepection.


 1.-The following are said to be remarks made around town on the morning of the 7th of June.-Ed.l
 "" hat do you think of the Doored Knight and his credentials of fitness?'' queried the Democrats.
 'He is not doomed; he is plumed and Tn full bloom, and still blooming, thriving with good health and will continue to do so until he plants his rcses in every State of the | Union."
 ''Yes," chipped No 2, The is just magnif- cent. A better selection could not have been made. Blaine and Log two of the bet men that ever lived in this world; they are a splendid rair; ley are the pictures of muniticence. Yes, just glorious.''
 No. 3 chipped in: Blaine is my man. He will carry cut the Monroe Doctrine, he will make England and all other nations toe the mark. Kings, Emperors and all other mon. archs will have to respect the head of the United Stares. He will protect all of his peorle from foreign oppression, which has been neglected for the last twenty-five years.''
 Halloa! No. 4. what have you got to say :? Well, was born Republican. and any. thing suits me that suit the partv."
 Next, No. 5, running his fingers through his hair said: "Blaine is a good man. Lo- gan may do, but there are so many cranks nowadays they might take a notion to make Logan President as they did Arthur. It might be better to let him stay at home. You see WAS Douglas Democrat before the war. l want to see the Democratic nominee"
 "Well, old boy, what makes you look SO sad this moFnipgY"
 "t would rather 1t had been Arthur, but the essence of the Blaine crow is not bad medicine to take, bu. the Logan crow is rather tough."
 Up stepped the peaoemaker: "Mrs. To- gan is charming little woman. She will | keep Logan on the right track" know that pettiooats have great infiu- ence some times. "Dobe have you got any of that beer lefts" ADKmooaAr.

Through connection is once more estab llshed between the Atlantic and Pacific anC Southern Pacific railroads. The steamer Mohave, Captain A. Melon, meets the train from the east every morning at the Needles and passengers and their baggage are trans. ferred across the Colorado in a very few minutes. Pullman oars are now run on all passenger trains on both sides of the river, and passengers can go through from Kansas City to San Francisco without change ex, cept at the Needles.
 We had the pleasure of meeting Chief Engineer Drake of the Atlantic and Pacific railroad last Monday, and he assured us that the new siding opposite Stockton would be finished inside of two weeks. He also told us that the material for the same had been lying at Wallapai siding for a week or more, but owing tp the high water at the Needles the company could not spare the men to do the work of putting in the siding at present, In order however that the miners on Stockton Hill should be n,.4 to no inconvenience by the delay he ordered sub-Engineer Henning, who was present. to have a platform erected at once. Mine owners on Stockton Hill can now find no further excuse for not shipping their ore.
 Powell station, on the Atlantic & Pacific railroad, is completely ab ndoned, and six feet of water stand in all the houses. The water IS up even with the railroad track and iu some places over 1t, but as this portion of the track was we'll rip-rapped and bal. lasted last summer there is no danger or it's washing away, and trains still run on to the old bridge, or rather on ta what is left of 1t, which is about seventy five feet.
 Work on the nc bridge st the Needles is progressing as rapidly az possible. The contractors have two pile drivers at work all the time, and have already completed nine spans, or nearly half of it. The new bridge is built on piers of piling, and each

 Dr. Burdtck was sent for and did every thing in his power for the wounded man, but the shook was too great for human nature to withstand and at 8 o'clock Thurs day afternoon his spirit passed on to the bourne from whence no traveller ever re- turns. His funeral took place from the Court House Tn Mineral Park, Friday after noon, and was attended by large number of peopIs.

It con- sists of heating the bloom furnaces with vapor fuel, gas generated from steam and crude petroleum by means of thermogen. It's cost IS nominal and it does away with sixty workmen and an extensive, cumber- some coal gas plant costing $50,OOO. and saves tremendous amount of coal. It will be used also for heating boilers.
