The Blue Woman.
From the Cambridge Chronicle. !

Mrs. Charles, better known through
out the county as the stblue woman, y
died recently at her home, just above
East New Market. There is quite a To-
cal notoriety attached to her name. She
was very eccentric in her manner. It is
said that she was closely related to the
descendants of President Polk. She de-
rived the name Of ''blue woman" from
the fact that her akin was nearly the
color Of indigo, whloh resulted from
taking Yitriol.

How to Cook Water.

I must tell you the old story of how
the late Charles Delmonico used to talk
about the new hot-water cure. He said
the Delmonicos were the first to recon-
mend it to guests who complained of
having no appetite. Take q cup of hot
water and q lemon and you win feel bet.

cup Of hotwater and lemon was simply q
little hot water with a:drop Of lemon juice
in it TO take away the insipidity. For
this anti bilious remedy, the caterers
changed the price Of drink Of their

ELECTION LAW.
democratic Review


Mr.. W. A. Strong, Secretary OF
State, and associate editor of the
Southern Sentinel, writes the sub
joined letter, relative to the cleo
ton law of this State, in which he
answers questions on the subject
recently propounded to aud an
swered by us. We think there can
be no doubt of the position as
sumed by Mr.. Strong:
ST.. MAURICE, La, Jan. 81, "a.
DR.. D. 8. waddell:
Dear Sir-Yours Of even date to
hand, and l will try to give the in
formation wanted. 1 am of your
opinion, that there is much more
uneasiness about the matter than is
necessary.
In answer to question No. l, !
can state that the Secretary of State
furnishes only the blank PAPER to
those applying for it. at 5 per cent.
above the cost of the paper, and has
nothing whatever to do with the
printing.
No. 2. The law does not prohibit
the marking or defacing of a name
OF any candidate on the ticket.
No. 3. The law requires that the
ballots shall be of uniform size and
quality of paper, and that the name
of each candidate desired to be
voted for shall be printed on one
ticket and deposited in one box, ex-
cept Justices of the Peace and Con-
stables, who are voted for in sepa-
rate box, and of course on sepal ate
paper; but should a person SO de-
sire it, he could get the blank pap, r
aud print only one name Oh it, if be
specified the office for which lie was
running, and it would be q good
vote.
No 4. No one is authorized to
open the boxes after they are sealed
by the commissioners Of election at
the polling places. It is the COM
missionels of election who count
the votes. keep list of the voters,
tally list of the result, which is
furnished by the returning officer,
who complies the result in the diff
ferent wards. and declares the re-
suit in the parish, and forwards
copy Of the result to the Secretary
of State. and files copy with the
Clerk of the District Court. None
but the commissioner Of the differ
ent polls can touch the ballots or
open the boxes, and not after they
have been sealed.
I Think have covered the points
upon which you desire information.
1 am, very truly yours, etc.,
WILL A. STRoNa.

vention be called by the Demo-

purpose Of making nominations for
said offices; be it further
Resolved, That in the present in
cumbents, Judge Jas. NJ. Thompson
and District Attorney S.. d. Ellis,
the people have had able and eff
cient officers, who have fearlessly
and punctually discharged the du-
ties of their respective Offices; We
the committee, indorse them as
worthy of re election.
Mr.. Strickland, of St. Helena

SPEND YOUR MONEY AT
HOME.

The following are given by m
exchange as among the most forci-
BILE reasons why you should spend
youl money at home, and we COM
mend them to our readers:
l. 1t is your home. You cannot
improve it much by taking your
money away to spend or invest.
2. There is no way of improving
aplace SO much as by encouraging
good merchants, good schools, and
good people to settle among you,
and this cannot be done unless you
spend your money at home.
8. Spend your money at home,
for there is where you get it. It is
your duty.
4. Spend your money at home,
because when it is necessary for you
to get credit, it is Of your own town
merchants you have to get it. and
they must wait for their money.
Therefore. when you have the
money, spend it home.
5. Spend your money at home.
1t will make better business for
your merchants; they can and will
keep better assortments, and sell at
lower rates than if the only bust
ness they can do is what is credit
ed out, while the money goes to
other places.
6. Spend your money at home.
Set this example now. Buy your
dry goods groceries, meats and
every thing at home. and you will
see wonderful change in a short
time in the business outlook of the
place; therefore, deal with your
at home.
Z. Spend your money at home.
What do you gain by going off?
Count the cost; see what you would
have done by letting your merchants
have the cash. Strike balance and
see if You would not have been just
Is we'll of, beside helping your
8. Spend your money at home. |
Your merchants are your neighbors;
hey stand by you in your sickness
they are your associates. With
'ut your trade they cannot keep up
business. No stores, then nc want
ng to buy property to settle on and
'uilj up your place.
0. Subscribe for your local paper,
nd buy from those who advertise
n it.

Congressman Dunn, member OF
the Committee on Commerce, pre-
sented a bill in the House, last
Wednesday. providing for the re-
moval Of Instructions to the free
navigation of the navigable waters
of the United States. Hthis bill is
approved. we hope the removal of
the old wrecks Of gunboats, which
obstruct the navigation of the
Bogue Falia. will be included in its
provisions. During the past few
years about $4,000 has been appro-
priated for this river, and on one
occasion little fatbost, rugged up
with q derrick, arrived here and re-
moved fifteen or twenty sunken
trees and stumps, which might
have been allowed to remain, for all
the good that was accomplished.
As this work could have been done
for few dollars, the profits on
the little job must have been i'm
mense.

Anderson. to be performed by that
gifted young woman throughout

most vivid style. the sufferings, per-

get married, but the law requiring
the bride to be over Is stood in her
why. Her ingenuity. however, over

number Is in her shoe. and when
questioned by the clerk, she quietly

was granted. and now the pair are
