COL. ELLIS.
He Explains Syme Democratic
Campaign Promises.

Col. Ellis the leading light, and
in fact one Of the few educ tied
Democrats in this State, has re-
turned to his native heather after
a long trip East. Yesterday an
APPEAL reporter found him in his
office, the same clean-cut, sleef

Did you use these words, MY
friends, when the Democratic party
comes into power, the MINIS will
coin the maximum, four millions
OF silver, instead of the minimum
two millions, (app!ause) Then the
energies Of the country will be
reused into active life, the pulse of
commerce will beat in unison, and

Soils and Seasons Affect Quality in
Grapes.

Perhaps no fruit varies more in the
quality oe its flavor, as affected by To-
cation and the season, than does the
grape. The same variety which is rich
and lucious in one place, is poor and
tasteless i'm another. The concord is a
fine grape in southern New Jersey, but
inferior in the northern part of the
state; it is large and rich when grown
on the shady banks of the lakes of New
York, but small and insipid on the clay
soil at the foot of some OF these lakes
On the best of soils. marked differ
ence is made in the character of the
grape by the season. A summer rich
in sunshine, aud free from prolonged
rains, and periods Of cloudy weather.
with late and beautiful fall, will pro-
duce grapes Of quality that is meyer
seen in ordinary seasons. Even the
most common varieties, attain sweet
ness and a favor, which rank them
with the better kinds. In such year !.
the Concord contains double mouth
ful-one in the pulp, and one in the
skin. The Catawba grows almost as
dark as the Isabella, and the Isabella,
and the Diana colors perfect purple,
and loses entirely the peculiar "catty'
flavor Of other seasons.
Some approach to this perfection may
be made by artificial means. If a vine
Is trained against the southern side of
porch and over tin roof having re-
flected heat, the size and quality of the
fruit will surpass that growth on the
open trellis. Our native varieties,
grown in cold grapery, change their
natural characteristics. The Iona loses
it's sharp and sprightly flavor, and be-
comes mild, sweet grape, much re :
sembling its foreign sisters. These
facts will account for the varying re-
ports that are given, year by year, OF
all varieties of grapes.-American Ag-
riculturist for October.

MOBILES PLUM PUDDING.
An Army "Reminiscences of the
Virginia Peninsula.
How a Private's Ingenuity Secured
a Much Desired Luxury.

John Habberton author of "Helen's
Babies" tells this story in the Cool:
The eve of Thanksgiving Day is us
ually joyous occasion to mankind, for
by that time the material for the COM
ing feast has been bought and paid for
or charged, which amounts to the
the same thing, to so many men. But
i'm November, 1865, the eve of the great
national feast day found several scores
of men in most unenviable frame OF
mind, and on the Virginia Peninsula.
They would have dinner on Thanksglv-
ing Day-the government would attend
to that, but such dinner. Boiled fat
pork and stewed dried apples, nothing
else of which the quality should be
known before hand, for the detachment
had no bread, not even ''hard tack, !"
and, although there was plenty of flour,
the company cooks efforts to reduce it
to bread had thus far resulted in heavy
Jumps Of dough, which would haye
made capital round shot, had the shape
been slightly modified. Perhaps the
commanding officer would allow coffee
served at noon, in honor of the day, if
the men would consent to 60 without it
at supper-time-this was the extreme
hope of the detachment.
sWhy didn't they forage p ask some
veteran. Merely, because two great
armies had foraged over the ground for
two ears, until not single chicken or
turkey remained to tell the tale. A few
Millheim Journal. [volume] (Millheim, Pa.) 1876-1984, 1885-10-01

natives that remained lived on hog,
hominy and f1th-principally the lat
ter.
Distress led to desperation, and des-
peration, as it always does among a
lot Of Americans, led to n mass meet
ing, and the appointment Of commit
tee to lead the crowd back to content
ment. The members Of the committee
looked hopelessly at one another for a
while, until one of them suggested:
Lets 60 and consult Mobile.
And they went. Mobile was the one
member of the company-there was al
ways such man to be found in a
crowd who metaphorically speaking,
could make bricks without straw, no
matter what kind Of bricks might be
wanted. He always drew his own ra-
tions lin the raw'and cooked them him
self, and some odors which were waited
from his huts' chimney were more ap-
petizing than a whole dinner at the
company cook house.
Mobile listened to the committees
plaint and plea, stroked his beard med
itatively moment, and said
How would plum pudding meet your
views p
The committee quickly smacked its
collective lips, and replied.
How would a Delmonico dinner suit
us p
IT'S well,' said the old man. If the
captain will give me charge of the cook
house for the day.
The committee quickly secured the
captains order-for the captain mess
ed with the company, and the boys
spent their remaining walking hours in
hedging againstdisappointment by bet
ting that Mobile couldn't keep his
word.
But they lost their money. AT noon,
sharp, the bugle sounded The call, and
before its final note died away every
soldier was at the cook house. There
they saw, laid out the board called by
courtese, the cooks table, several enor-
nous masses that looked like plum
pudding ,smelled like plum pudding and
tasted like plum pudding, There was
nothing else for dinner, but nobody
asked for anything else, for every man
had declined to eat more.
How did you make it p everybody
asked.
Easily enough said Mobile. For
! suet, I chopped a lot of fat pork and
soaked it all night, for plums l chopped
and candied lot of dried apples, and
the flour and the sugar was from the
cooks barrels
But where did you get the bags to
boil the pudding in p asked one inquis-
tive fellow.
'Well,' said the old man with a queer
smile, Il don't believe twill help your
digestion to know, but / will say this,
If you fellows want 20 chip in and pay
me for a couple of pairs Of new drawers
that drew from the Quarter
Sergeant, on my own account. I won't
object.
The above incident is respectfully
commended to the attention OF camp
ing parties who live like hogs, because
they have nothing fit to cook"

nurse, and everything we Wa ted, and
has heen our good angel ever siuce.
He is Arthur Rashleigh, the only son
of your Auat Betsy's old lover, who, ,af-
ter mourning the supposed faIthlessness
of his old love, married late in life, and
has not long been dead, leaving Arthur
large fortune. His astonishment at
seeing you with his fathers portrait,
you may .be sure, was very great
However, it was very lucky thing for
us !; after all, Aunt Betsy's present
was not such poor one. by the way,
here it is; Mr.. Rashleigh was kind
enough to bring 1t back with him."
There was one thing which did not
appear to concern my mother in the
least but made my pale face flame,
that was the idea of receiving all these
benefits from a mere stranger, upon
whom we had not the slightest claim,
unless the fact that his father, forty
years ago, had been my aunt's lover,
could he considered one.
So made up au eloquent speech, in
which l thanked him warmly for his
goodness, and delicately yet firmly con-
veyed the information, that intended
to repay him rs soon Us could get to
work again.
But carefully as I rehearsed it, that
eloquent speech was never uttered. nor
did / wonder at my mothers willing
ness to receive benefits from him. He
was 80 lonely, he said, he had not
friend or relative in England, and
man servant, whom he had treated
with kindness and confidence, had just
robbed him of some valuble old family
plate which his father had thought
highly of, and had carried with him in
all his wanderin2s.
For me-may confess it without
shame-the graceful interest felt in
him soon grew into loye, and, ah, hap
py as my life has been since, can ever
forget that happy evening, when, walk
ing home from the theatre, whittier he
had taken me, he told me that he loved
me dearly, and asked me to be his
wife ?
"But III am poor, I am not pretty,
and am SO old |" / pleaded, fearing
to accept this sweet, new happiness,
and mindful Of Lena's depreciation of
my personal appearance, age, etc.
Arthur laughed and drew my arm
clio ser in his.
"If you are too old for marriage. at
twenty-five, how may hope with six
more years added on, ever to enter that
blissful state 2'' he asked.
So l said yes, and soon after, we all
went to Aunt Betsy's, and there was
married at the little village church, to
the son of her lover, who loved and
reverenced the queer, touchy old maid
not little for. her loyal devotion TO
his father.
So Aunt Betsy's present saved my
dear mothers life. and also saved me
from the dreadful fate Lena had
threatened me with. l had it made in.
to locket, and wear it constantly. 1t
Is generally mistaken for the portrait
of my dear husband, so is the large oil
painting of his father which hangs in
our drawing-room from which the min
iature was copied.
We are very happy, and when my
brother Walter comes home, as we ex-
pect him to do with his young bride,
next Christmas. we shall have won-
derful story to tell him of the same
present he and Lena thought so little
of.
