The Art Of Cooking Rice.

Also, I always carry Ned, a black
man, WHO knows how to cook rice.
Many and many a time have I
watched him at it by the camp fire;
but last winter, there having been
some discussion of it in the papers, I
took occasion one day to observe Ned
with his ice very closely, watch in
hand. Here is just what he did, how
he did it, and the actual time, except
of the last operation, which is not so
important, so you give time enough
not less than half an hour, and better
an hour.
First, he poured in half a pint of
rice into a tin pan and picked it oyer
carefully, throwing out any foreign
substances. Then he poured into the
pan some cold water, washed the
rice, poured the water off, and picked
the rice again. A second time 1t was
washed and the water poured off.
Then Ned put the rice into an ordi~
nary twO-quart sauce pan, covered it
to the depth of half an inch with
cold water, stirred in the salt, fitted
on the top carefully, and put the
saucepan on a quick fire of Goals and
went to his other work. In just ~
minutes Ned returned to his rice and
removed the lid. It was done, but
not ready for the table. There was q
q little water left, which was care
fully poured of; the rice was thor
oughly stirred up from the bottom,
not the top; but a tin plate was laid
lightly on and the saucepan set one
side in the hot ashes, where it g
manned steaming very slowly one
hour, or mayhap two, when the rice
was so dry that you might eat it
with your fingers, and at the same
time thoroughly done, end soft
through and through, Nobody can
like raw rice, neither can anyone like

A Canal Across the Peninsula.

Although the amendment to the river and
harbor bill appropriating 100000 for the
construction of ship canal across tho Mary
land peninsula was ruled out of order, o bill
is still pending covering the same object
Tho speech delivered by Mr.. Findlay in
favor of tho adoption of the amendment
printed in the Record Of June 12) contains n
good many substantial reasons why the gov
erument should undertake this work. The
design is to cut across tho peninsula at tho
most convenient point and thus mako a
passagoway between the Chesapeake bay
and tho ocean, through which vessels
tween the capes. At least ono days sailing
would be saved to q steam vessel in making
tho passage from Baltimore to the northern
seaports or to Europe if it could cross the
peninsula and reach tho ocean at some point
near the mouth of Delaware bay.
In giving the commercial reasons for con.
structing the canal Mr.. Findlay figured out
a saving to the west of 10 cents a bushel on
all the grain shipped from Baltimore. In tho
year 1879 the expectation of wheat and corn
from Baltimore amounted to 53,47l, ,7Gs
bushels and the saving in that yoar would
have been over $5,OOOO0O. Providing that
the expectation should remain the same, the
saving in four years would exceed the
estimated cost of the canal. This calculation
leaves entirely out Of account the incoming
freight and the coastwise commerce.
Such canal would certainly be advantage
any maritime power, 1t would mako the de-
fonso of Baltimore, Wash lngton, and Norfoll,
much easier than if the war ships from north
ern ports and navy yards should be obliged
to take the circuitous route by tho capos.
Had there been such a canal in existence in
Feb 1862, Capt. Wordon would havo arrived
| at Hampton roads ono day earlier, and tho
disasters caused by tho first onset of the
Morrimac would have been avertod. When
discussing the military reasons for di gging
the canal, Mr.. Findlay said that Capt Wor don
told him that when he iWorden) sailed from
! Now York for Hampton roads in tho monitor
| ho had no expectation that the vessel would
be able to make the passage, He folt so
approhcnsive that in calling for volunteer
soamon he explained to thom the hazardouf
nature Of the voyage before he accepted
thom. 1t Is highly croditablo to tho Amori-
can navy that eight sailors offered to go for
every ono that Capt. Worden was able to
tako.

Tiidci,'a Heir.

Mr., Tildcn neglected to numo his heir but
indications point strongly In tho direction Of
Gov. Cleveland as his fivorito son. Domo.
Gratis look to him now as their most available
candidate. Their natural choice for first
place would bo Mcdonald or Bayard, but
neither Of these gentlemen could hopo TO
command moro chan tho party strength, If,
indeed, they could do that and candidate Is
wanted who will got out full party voto
and attract the discontcntcd element which
imagincs II does not want Blaine aud Logan.
Tho Indiana ex-senator represents
about all that is honest in tho dom.
ocrato party. Ho is for FREQ trade
in modified form, and ho is straightforward
and manly in declaring himself on that quos-
tjon. lilo belongs to tho samo sturdy school
as Carlisle and Beck aud Garland. If ho
were better trimmer and less truo friend
ho might have had the nomination Of his
party in 1880. Ills pronounced views would
lose him votes in manufacturing states whore
q small percentage of loss would be disastrous
to him and his party. The Delaware sona-
tof would lose in tho same way, aud no
would also be weak on account of his ques.
tionablc record during the war. Ho would
not bo as strong before the people as Melon
aid whcro votes would bo useful. 1t is not
probable, therefore, that the July convention
will make either Bayard or Mcdonald
tho democratic standard bearer. Ohio
aspirants will not be considered at all. That
state is almost certain to go republican In
October, and as the democrats have been in
discroctiy claiming it as a democratic state,
they will be afraid to put an Ohio man on
would follow defeat at the threshold Of
national election. Illinois is reliably repub-
lican, and no suckers" need apply. Ran.
dalrs protection views bar him out Flowers
candidacy is an absurdity and Cleveland is
tho only man the democratic managers can
turn to in their extremity.
Four weeks will elapse before tho convcn-
tion meets, and there may be decisive
change in the tide, but at this writing it
looks very much AS though the ticket would
be Cleveland and Mcdonald. or Cleveland
and some other man from west Of the eastern
Indiana line. Mcdonald would be less OBJ
jectionablo as vico presidential candidate
than as first on the ticket. He would bo q sop
to the FREQ trade element and at the same time
he would not be 30 conspicuous as q tar
get for protectionist sharp.shootcrs. Free
traders would have representation on
tho ticket, but that issue would be sub
ordinated to the reform cry" Reform
would of course bo hollow protonse, but it
would be made to serve tho purpose of an
honest platform. Tho eye of fate is focused
upon Cleveland and Mcdonald. I,ct them be
led out to slaughter.

record Of Mr.. Blaine. In order to emphasize
thcir devotion to tho principle Of equal
rights for immigrants of all races they have
gono over TO tho democrats, and expect them
to adopt platform that will suit their broad
humanitarian views It would be worth a
trip TO Chicago to sec Mr.. Curtis or Mr. Put
nam Offering o resolution in tho democratic
national convention welcoming tho Chinese
to our shores, and demanding that they be
invested with tho rights and privileges of
American citizens
The failure OF tho republican convention
to say anything about tho trade dollar is
another cause of complaint. Nothing would
be moro gratifying to tho friends Of Blaine
ana Logan than to SOC tho democratic con-
vention tackle the trade dollar question aud
tho silver question generally. Tho bolterB
want the trado dollar redeemed at par and
tho coinage Of tho standard silver dollar
stopped. In this they represent tho views of
tho great mass Of the republicans of tho east;
but the party in the west Is divided upon
luis question, ana IL was not mauO IN Issue,
except to recommend the adoption of an
international standard fixing tho relative
valuo of gold and silver coins. 1t is to be
hoped, however, that Mr.. Curtis will be able to
compel tho democratic party to mako moro
definite dclivoranoo on this subject.
If porchanco tho convention should dc.
clare in favor Of continuing tho coinage of
silver dollars at the rate of two millions
month, would the new republican recruits
bolt AGAIN. Thoy know that tho democratic
majority in tho house of representatives has
refused to stop tho coinage, or to redeem the
trade dollar except by adding it to the silver
currency, but in the face of this fact, these
currency reformcrs have gone to tho demo.
cratic party to secure ant-slvor legislation.
The country will be greatly pleased to 500
them plant tho democratic party upon their
silver platform.
