AN EXPLANATION REQUIRED.-There
are still few men in every county who
were not enthusiastic Democrats-men who
supported Malone in 1877 and stuck to
him, and who have not yet voted with the
regular Democratic party. In lSoO these
men voted Mahone's July electoral ticket,
and voted for Wise in 1882 and Cameron i'll
1881. They have over and over denied
that they were or would be Republicans.
Many were willing to say that they were
not Democrats but Readjusters, but they
Indignantly repudiated the idea that Ma
hone was Republican, or had traded the
Readjusters off to Radicalism. "We are
for Arthur because Arthur is for us, was
not a high motto, but many were willing to
give or accept this as an explanation Of the
position of their Chief. Arthur had come
into the Coalition, and like the Virginia
Republicans, was aiding the Readjuster
party. Many were willing to coalesce with
Arthur and his party who were unwilling
to join Republicanism and put themselves
under its rule These men will need some
thing explanatory of the acts of Malone
and his fuglemen. What is the meaning
of declaring in convention that this is the
Republican party of Virginia? Is there
any difference between Republicanism in
| Virginia and in Massachusetts-if so, what
is it? Is it in principle or policy? Still an
other is required of these gymnasts and
fakirs: What is the meaning of this hur-
rah for Blaine and Logano Alas for human
nature; it all means that many Virginians
| some Confederates, once Democrats, are
willing to re-enact' reconstruction, to set
up the rule of the carpet-bagger and scala
| wag, to surrender to the domination of the
negro vote, and let Northern Radicals,
| through this vote, rule and ruin Virginia.

We may live without poetry, music, md art;
We may live without conscience, and live
without heart;
We may live without friends; we may live
without books,
But the civilized man cannot live without
cooks.
He may live without books-what is knowl-
edge but grieving
He may live without hope-what is hope but
deceiving?
He may live without love-what is passion
bit pining?
But where is the man that can live without
dining?

EFFECTS OF AN ARCTIC CLIMATE.-The
effects of climate upon materials and men
are exactly the same as in tropical coun-
try. The boards which were unloaded
from the ship to make our house shrank
and cracked open as if under the influence
of torrid sun. And have suffered from
thirst there even more acutely than on the
arid plains of Arizona and New Mexico.
The natives suffer terribly for want of
water in the Winter time, and before the
cold season thoroughly set in provided
against that for ourselves by cutting and
cording up lot of ice about foot thick
which we melted as needed. The natives
pleaded with me often for drink, and, as
that was something that there need be no
lack of as long as our fuel lasted, they had
two years of plenty in that respect. As i'll
the tropics, the children reach the age of
puberty in few years. Extremes do meet.
By wise provision some of the ordinary
demands of nature are, in a measuse, sus-
pended in that latitude, and minimum of
inconvenience is secured. Some of the
natives, however, abuse even this indul-
gence, which may extend over period of
two weeks without hurtful results, and the
most frequent calls upon my physician
store were for laxatives." elbow deep
does the snow fall9'' Only about foot
during the season. You see, there is no
evaporation to speak of, consequently no
precipitation, and the snowfall is very light.

our house built it was not long unit! it was
covered We ran tunnels then to our ice
pack and to the two observatories, some
distance from the house, and all the time
we were there the tunnels were our only
lines of communication.

The other day a little daughter Of Henry
Brothers, proprietor of the saw mill in
Ramona, Steuben county, N. Y, carried his
dinner to him at the mill. On entering the
mill she saw her fathers head and body to
the waist lying on one side of the saw plat
form. The other half of his body was on
the opposite side of the platform. In walk
ing about the saw he had fallen in some
way in 'front.' of it, and was cut in two.
To vote now for republican, and espe-
cially for Blaine, by former democrats
places men who swore they would do no
such thing in an unenviable position. To
vote for Blaine is, under the circumstances,
to vote for Yankee funder, and be SO
much crow eater. Already we have heard
of many in this county who will not be par
ties to so much crow-eating and glazing in
consistency. Woodstock Vrginian.

HOME MADE BREAD.-To make home
made bread by the quick process. For two
medium size loaves of bread use three
pounds of flour, reserving a quarter of 4
pound for kneading; dissolve one small cake
of compressed or German east in one cup
full of lukewarm water, put it in an earthen
bowl and mix with it flour enough to form
a batter which will for a momeng hold a
drop from the mixing spoon; cover the
bowl with folded towel, place it near the
fire, in some place where it is possible to
bear the hand and let it rise until it is full
OF little holes or about twice its original
volume; this will be in about half an hour;
then add another cupful oflukewarm water,
containing teaspoonful of salt and enough
more flour to make soft dough: turn this
out on Toured board and knead it for five
minutes, using sufficient -four to prevent
the hands being moistened by the wet
dough. When the dough is properly
kneaded divide it into two loaves, put them
in buttered pans, cover them with folded
towels and set them near the stove to rise
to twice their volume, When the loaves
are light bake them in quick oven, ac-
cording to the directions given in the pre-
ceding recipe.

THE COUNTRY SCHOOL.

Pretty and pale and tired.
She sits in her stif-backed chair.
While the blazing summer sun
Shines in on her soft brown hair,
And the little brook without,
That she hears through the open door,
Mocks with its murmur cool
Hard bench and dusty floor.
1t seems an endless round
Grammar and A, B, C;
The blackboard and the sums;
The stupid geography;
When from teacher to little Jim,
Not one of them cares a straw,
Whether "John" is in any case.'
Or Kansas in Omaha.
For Jimmy's bare brown feet
Are aching TO wade in the stream,
Where the trout to Lis Turing bait
Shall leap with quick. bright CLEAN;
And his teachers blue eyes stray
To the flowers on the desk hard by,
Till her thoughts have followed her eyes
With half unconscious sigh
Her heart outruns the clock,
As she smells their faint sweet scent;
But when have time and heart
Their measure in unison blent?
For time will haste or lag,
Like your shadow on the grass.
That fingers far behind,
Or flies when you fain would pass.
Have patience, restless Jim,
The stream and fish will wait
And patience, tired blue eyes
Down the winding road by the gate,
Under the willow shade,
Stands some one with fresher flowers;
So turn to your books again,
And keep love for the after hours.

large potatoes, two large onions, one pound
of mutton, half a pint of water. Peel the
potatoes very thinly, and put them INTO a
saucepan of cold water with little salt,
and let the water boil for two or three min
utes, and then plunge the potatoes into cold
water. Peel the onions, put them into a
basin with teaspoonful of salt and piece
of washing soda not larger than pea; pour
some boiling water over, cover with a plate,
and let stand for ten minutes. Cut the
meat into small pieces, trim off the fat, and
t1atten each piece. Lay /. few pieces of fat
at the bottom of an iron saucepan. Cut
the potatoes and onions into slices, and lay
in half the quantity OF each, then the pieces
of meat, with pepper and salt; pour over
these the water, and then add the remainder
of the vegetables, keeping potatoes on top.
Cover the saucepan with tight-fitting lid,
and place it by the side of the fire and let
the ingredients simmer for two hours.
Shake the saucepan from time to time to
prevent the vegetable sticking to the pan,
but do not lift the lid. When cooked suffi-
GENTLY the potatoes and onions should be
soft and pulpy. Place these around the
edges of the dish and put the meat in the
centre. If there be any liquor left, pour it
over the meat.

B. HARTMAN & Co., Columbus, o.:
have been afflicted for three years, caused
by over-work too soon after confinement.
My kidneys became seriously affected;
could not retain my urine day nor night.
It was high colored, thick and bloody.
My monthlies had left altogether for four
teen months, during which time l was
confined to my bed with beating in right
ovaries. The discharge from the womb
was so offensive no one could stay in the
room. The urine continued bloody, with
pain in voiding it. and when in bed would
pass from me in my sleep. have had
three doctors attending me regularly, one
for four months, one of the others one
whole summer, and the third all winter.
We had two Others in consultation with
them, and used twenty bottles of differ
ent kinds of patent medicines, all to no
good. | then got a bottle of PERUNA,
and before had three-fourths of the bot
tie taken quit wetting the bed and could
retain the urine sufficient to attend church,
which had not done for three years.
and my monthlies came back as natural
as ever; indeed, 1 considered myself
well woman again. Since that time have
had pneumonia. Ny confidence in Pc
RUNA was so great that did not send for
a doctor. l followed the directions in
your ILLS of Life" and am overit, as well
as can be expected of one so delicate as |
have been. Others in my neighborhood
had the same disease, and among them
were strong men, and had the best physl-
clans, and yet died. while l sailed through
in safety on PERUNA and MANALIN. l
sincerely believe, and would say to all the
afflicted in the wide world, that PERUNA
and MANALIN are the only two medicines
that any one needs in any disease. If used
as directed in your book entitled "The Ills
of Life"
J. E. Fleming, publisher of the New
Dominion, Morgantown, VIVA, writes:
''Some months since, l received some OF
your medicine in exchange for advertls-
ing. Ny wife has taken five bottles OF 1t,
and has derived great benefit from it."
Mr. M. C. Pershing, Byadenville, Pa,
writes: " My wife has been using PERU
Ma for some time for weak lungs and liv-
or and kidney complaint, and thinks it IS
doing her great good. Has used only one
bottle as yet. Please send your book on
the Ills of Life as we can't get any from
our druggist"
