municipa! election, aud. indeed, the
meaning OF the article must be very
deep or else we are hopelessly dull Of
comprehension. for We fail to see any
point in il.
He says We took him to task for
advocating the election OF Repub-
lican ticket which is certainly
mistaken idea, We were pleased
when The news first reached our
ears that Mr.. B. expected to run a
straight Republican ticket, for there
are psrhsps, a scoFsof Republicans in
the Corporate linii0 who rcgerd him
ss disorgan.z'r mercy, and are al.
ways ready to csst their ballots a
ssinst any measure promulgated by
him. Of course, we knew at once his
scheme or measure would be defeat
ed, aud Instead Of taking him to
task for what he did we felt like pre-.
senting him with d medal of some
sort.
But Mr.. Brown shoots wild Of the
mark in his communication, for he
Gays the Democrats poIled their last
vote Tor then municipal ticket We
have taken the time TO look about
this matter. An examination of the
poll books show that there were IS
votes polled at the late election.
twenty-five OF those who voted are
Democrats, and twentythree are Re-
publicans, therefore there must have
been nearly as many Democrats who
did not vote as there are R"publi-
cans, for there wac not more than
hall a vote polled and the Republi-
cans have but FIVE or elk majority or
a iull vote. There must have been
at least ten Democrats who did not
vote, yet Mr., Brown says it is the
Only instance in his knowledge
Where party polled every vote
it possessed" But let us take a cor.
rect view Of the matter. The Cor
poration ticket received two thirds
of all the votes cast, and the ticket
set up by Mr.. Brown received only
one-third OF the votes cest, Tween
ty-three Republicans voted, AMI but
twenty-five Democrats voted. Il,
must follow then that several Re-
publcans voted the Corporation
ticket. Tuis was done to antagon-
ize Mr.. Brown, whom they regard,
as we have already stated, az die
organizer and foe to the best in
terests of their party.
And in conclusion let us remark
that Mr.. B. is very inco nsistent. In
his article last week he says "the
better way to govern ia through po-
!iticaI organizations" yet at the Oc-
tober election he was the very man
who broke his party organization in
Kiugwood district, and gave to the
Democratic party two Justices OF the
Peace. Tue very thing he did in
October last he now vigorously con-
dennis.

DIVORCE IN MINNESOTA.

Minnesota IS to have. new divorce law, and it contains some interesting provis- ions It provides that all causes shall be shall be present and take an active part in every case, and that notice must be served personally. The bill also gives discretionary power to judge. He may absolutely de- cline to grant divorce in any given case. He may, too, place restrictions upon remar- riage This, as the Providence Journal in commenting upon the law points out, may or may not be wise provision. Ii the judge finds, in his discretion, that divorce ought to be granted, it is at least questionable whether the parties should be restrained from marrying again. The proper occasion would seem to be in granting the divorce, not in interfering with the future of the par ties thus absolutely separated. In New York legal restrictions upon remarriage have proved so notifications as restraint upon the abuse of divorce that these restric tions have been greatly modified within re- cent years by the legislature, and the Court of Appeals has rendered them virtually of no effect by pronouncing remarriage valid, even when in violation of the law in New York, if the ceremony is performed in an- other State.
 It will be interesting to see how the Min nesota law works. It seems calculated to work well, and in leaving much to the dis cretion of the judge is wisely framed.

 Perhaps the most disgraceful scene in our history as a republic was tie day of Lincoln's second inauguration, when Andrew Johnson, the Vice President elect, made a maudl1n, drunken speech before the leading men Of
 this nation Andrew Johnson aecus-
 toned to drinking, but he seldom took more
 than he could conveniently and sensibly carry While Governor of Tennessee he used to keep bottle of whiskey in covered washstand in his ofice Johnson had been drinking the night before tlle inauguration with lot of friends at the Metropolitan Hotel and, as is usual i'll such cases, he arose the next morning with a bad taste in his mouth and no appetite. The result was that he started up to the Capitol without break fast and when he got there he was very weak and he looked wan and haggard. He went into the Senate and asked John w. Forney, the clerk of the Senate, if he could not get him drink of whisky. Forney replied yes, and went and brought in bottle of Ken lucky Bourbon. Johnson took this and poured goblet half full, while Forney's eyes grew large in surprise as he gulped it down. This alone would have been enough to have made an ordinary man drunk, but it was not enough for Vice-President Johnson. He filled the glass half full again and threw it in upon an empty stomach. He then walked across the room, and he only stag gered little as he took his place beside Pres ident Lincoln in front of the assemblage of cabinet secretaries, foreign ministers and others. When tt came time to take his oath ana the book was handed him to kiss, he 1 waved it aside with his hand and began to l make speech. What he said was never re- | ported in the papers, but it must have been very funny. He took each of the secretaries 1 to task and gave him instructions. He ad- l dressed the foreign ministers, and, though l Forney tried to pull him down by holding to | his coat tails behind, he would not stop, but ! went on. President Lincoln was, as were | all the Americans present, grieved by the occurrence, and Abe Lincoln said: ''I hope this will prove lesson to Andy

THE LONDON EXPLOSIONS.

The dastardly work which was done in London Saturday is calculated to excite warm indignation in the hearts of all who love their fellow men, and especially in the hearts of the best and truest friends of Ire land. The wretches who plan this kind of war against England and the wretches who carry it out are no better than the thugs of India, and will have the merited condemna- ton of the civilized world. It is humiliating to think that there are people in this country who are willing to contribute money for the support of such warfare. Indeed, it is more than possible that the assassins who caused the explosions Saturday went from this coun- try to England, and that their crimes were planned here. It is no wonder that the En- glish people feel that the government of this country ought to do something to prevent the spread of such barbarism here. Senator Edmunds' bill was not introduced any too soon. Something should be done both by Congress and the State legislatures to make the dynamite fiends who infest this land less confident They are enemies of the human rac

How to Treat Frozen Apples. fba I


 It is the general opinion that an apple once frozen is of but little value, in fact, that it will be soft and lifeless; but it is not so, if it does not thaw too rapidly, and it is not dis turbed until the frost is entirely ont. When it is discovered that barrel of apples has been frozen, the usual practice is to remove them to warm place, and sometimes they are taken out of the barrel and plunged into cold water. This is all wrong. When an. apple is frozen it should be left undisturbed until it is very certain that the frost is nearly all out of it. If the apples are in an open barrel or box, they should be covered over so as to keep them cool and in the dark; but in doing so, care should be taken not to touch the fruit, for wherever frozen apple is touched it will make soft place. In fact, the simple rolling over of a barrel of apples will ruin it. In freezing. apples will shrink so much that barrel will not be full by nearly peck in consequence of this, in rolling barrel over it bruises every apple, and every bruise will show when the apple thaws, end will soon begin to decay.
 When apples are frozen in tight barrels, if they are not started until thoroughly thawed out, it will not injure them in the least, un less they chance to be in the open air or where they will suddenly thaw out. The second time an apple freezes there is more danger of injury, but under favorable condi- tions an apple may be frozen and thawed three times without injury.
 We have had apples frozen the first of De cember and kept frozen till the middle of March, which were sold in May, that had kept so well that they did not require to be picked over. If an apple can be frozen in November and kept frozen all winter, it will come out in the spring in the same state as 1t was in in the autumn it will not ripen while in the frozen state. Baldwins frozen the first of December, and kept frozen until the middle of March, will be too hard to eat the first of April, and in May will be about as ripe as they will be in January when not fro zen.
 The danger of freezing apples to keep them is in having the frost leave them too sudden ". If one could have full control of the temperature, so as to freeze them in the au- tumu, and have them. frozen until spring, there wonld be no loss by decay, and a Rhode Island Greening could be kept i'll good condi- ton two months after being thawed out.

If all that worship Thee to-day Should suddenly be swept away And not a MueZzin left to cry Through the silence of the sky God is great''-there still would be Clouds of witnesses for Thee On the land and in the sea.
