SOME INEXPENSIVE PRESENTS,
what the Exercise of 81 Little fnge-
nuity Will DO I'm Making
Christmas GIFTS.

The holiday season is one OF general
festivities. and an occasion when every
body-rich and poor, high and low, saint
and sinner-will lay aside the cares and
sorrows OF life and engage in time OF
merry-making. Besides trying to create
happiness for ones self, nearly everybody
makes an effort to cheer fhe heart OF
another. Caste is laid aside and people
of the upper circles enter the homes and
walks OF life OF the lowly and poor; even
the prisoners, wretched, hardened with
sin, are made to feel that, though de-
prived of their liberty, they are not en-
tirely forsaken and despised.
To those who go on missions OF charity
to the poor and helpless, suitable gifts
will readily be suggested, but their are
scores of people puzzled to their wits end
to decide upon what they shall select as
an appropriate gift for acceptance. In
as much as there are many people so
puzzled, the DEMOCRAT suggests that it is
not necessary that gifts be expensive; rs
the fact OF being remembered is Il pleas
ure and is the important point to be taken
into consideration. A pair Of embroidered
suspenders is pretty and appropriate for a
gentleman. Buy two yards OF satin rib.
bon little more than an inch wide, and
two yards OF another color little wider.
The narrow is used for the right side, the
wide for the lining. Ii you have q pair
of old suspenders, just cover them, or
put Canton flannel between the ribbons I;
bring the lining over the right side like a
binding. Gilt buckles and ends to attach
to the suspenders can be bought readily.
A vine through the centre of the sus-
penders can be embroidered, but simple
stitching is very pretty.
Another inexpensive present is a collar
and cuff box This is made by first get
ting pasteboard box, and then exercis-
ing little ingenuity in covering it. One
of different colors. The ends OF the box
with silk, joined by feather or catch
stitch. Some other material, with the
initials of the receiver embroidered there
on, will make pretty cover.
A card case is made as follows: Take
two stiff cards, the size OF the desired
case, cover neatly with silk or ribbon,
and then sew them together so that they
will easily open and shut. Another piece
of card, half the width of the case,
should be covered and sewed to one side,
thus forming pocket in which to place
the cards. A spray of flowers or mono
gram worked on the outside would add
much to its value and appearance.
These and numerous other little de-
vices may be hit upon for holiday pres
ents, and will be cherished longer
because of being the handy-work of the
donor.
In the matter OF books, select always
the best, and they should be in good sub
stantial binding. Be sure, above all
presents, not to offer an inferior or shoddy
edition; nothing is more inappropriate
than II cheap trashy book, Select the
very best your means will allow.

No We Dnn,t.

In the way of talent to run his case
through, however, he will in all probability
come out at the small end of the horn.-
SALT LAKE DEMOCRAT.
Yes, but if Editor Hemenway could have
had the best lawyers in America, it would
have made no difference in his case. The
open venire system, run by hostile deputy
marshals, is more potent than all the legal
talent on earth. The DEMOCRAT naturally
desires to deprecate the editor of the Ogden
Herald and urge on the tyrants.-Ogde'l
Herald.
Very true that the best lawyers on
earth could not have helped this man.
We trust that his punishment will be all
that the law allows, by n fine OF 81 900,
or imprisonment in the county jail for
one year. The Court owes it to the COM
munity to Jail him.

Crop Report.

The July whe,, report of the Department
oS Agriculture says the wheat harvest of the
world for 1885 will not be an avera ge but prices
will eventually advance. The rise, h lwever, j.
far off, as the present large stock of wEe.t on
hand will keep prices down, perhaps until next
year. Farmers must not, the report says, he
deluded by the present dull predictions of scar
city hold for extraordinary prices After briefly
defending the accuracy of the department Of
agriculture statistics, and explaining the diyerg
ence between its forecasts and diferent periods,
the report continues: "The June returns
showed promise OF 2o7 900, 900 bushels, re-
duction of Sc 600, 600 bushels from the April
prospect, which WAS fully justified by the fuller
revelation of winter injuries, the bad Gather
OF April and Nay, and the substitution of other
crops on an immense area of injured wheat. 1t
is a reduction of l49, coo, 600 bushels from Il e
win er wheat record Of 1884, or almost ~ per
cent. for @kich over &c per cent- WAS reported
on The first of April"

increase OF acrGage, owing 10 the fact that much
land intended for f.llow wheat was too dry TO
plos last fall, and was plaute in corn this

The wheat Market.

The market for wheat seems to hold up
firmly aud the tendency is toward steady ad-
vance. During this week the prices tor this
cereal has advanced to from TO cents over
the prices offered at the close of reports
last week. From the B tltimore San of yester-
We quote the condition OF the market as fol
lows: The demand for Southern wheat is
fairly active and the market WAS firm at the
opening, but sold about !! a cent lower at the
close on shipping grades. Mixed sold at 90
cents and longberry at .97@9s cents for tough,
and l009l02 cents for good and prime. FultZ
ranged from 93@195 cents for inferior to tough
and 96 a ss cents for good to choice Shipping
grades sold at the close at 969 @97 cts. No.
Maryland red sold at 97@974 cents. As the
tendency is thus towards steady advance in
prices, it might perhaps lie we'll for those
farmers who have good storage loom for the
new crop to hold off IA short time before ship
pin-, as it may e that something like living
price may be obtained for the crap in few
weeks later

The Political Pot.

Inc OIlulcAl fOts
Although but little appears on the surface
from The republican camp in the county, still
enough is occasionally gathered to show that
the various aspirants for office this fall are still
at work, and are watching each other with
lynx eyes to see that neither lets too great IN
advantage nor gets too far ahead in the race
before the convention ASSEMBLIES Nj. Stone
street and DIR. Lancaster are yet the most pro-
k,inent Candidates for the clerkship, the only
hras they now have to contend with being
Medley, in Middlefown, and Rowe, in Pomon-
key, though i, is well understood that neither
of these latter stands ghost of chance for
the nomination. We learn that Ste nss,reet is
confident of carrying seven out of the nine dis
tricts in the county, and says also that he
thinks he could carry Brran,on if he choose
10 make fight there. but that as he has
enough without it he will deploy his forces
elsew here and let that take care of itself or Of
DR.. Lancaster, if it.,hnks proper. DR.. Lan-
caster does not allow all that Stonestree, claims,
and says that whea the convention assemblies
he may perhaps fed himself badly left on enc
or two districts that be now counts on as ce,-
tain. For Register of Wills, il now seems that
Harvey has clear field, his most Formidable
opponent, Mitchell, having withdrawn from
this fight and will content himself with striv-
ing for another seat in the Legislative hall
Rowe, who was spoken Of for this Office, sa,
that he must have the eerkship or nothing,
and it is likely that nothing will be his share
Mudd, We learn, will be satisfied TO succeed
himself as clerk to commis sioners and treasurer
of the county, SO this puts him out of the race
before the convention. Thus in this section
things look bright for Harvey, though DR.. L.
may succeed in making coal lbinaiion that ~ill
cause him to be shelved, if he (Dr. L comes
out ahead. For the sherifalty the fight is be
tween Wade, of Port Tobacco, and Edelen, of
Middleton n, as all others who would like to
have this office, and there are many others, are
not considered in the race at all. From W bat
we can gather Wade seems to have the bes, of
it so far in this fight, though he is being pushed
hard by Edeen, and both are working earnestly
and actively for success. We have it from one
who is in a position to understand the work
iHgs inside the ring, that as between these two
Patuxent will decide the contest, and the one
that can de eyop the NEST strength there will
capture the prize from the convention. The
remaining sm ,ller Offices viii go to those who
can add the most strength TO rest on the ticket.
Among Democrats the only talk is that with
a good lepres. ntative ticket and hard and close
work We win, ::w bich is an indisputabe
fact and that ticket that will command the
entire and united support Of the party will be
put in the 6rld there is little doubt. The con-
vention will act with sound jnd dgment and
disc, elton in its selections and our success is
an assured fact.

Attempting Suicide.

Attempting suicide.
The neie ehborhood of Waldorf was consid-
erably aroused on Wednesday evening of last
week by attempt d. SUICIDE by John c.
Pickeral, commonly known as Jack Pickeral,
by shooting himself in the left breast, about
one inch above the region Of the heart, with a
shot gun. The shooting was evidently done
with the intention Of causing instant death as
the preparations he made were most complete
and but little likely TO fail, and it was only BY
mistaking the exact location of his heart that
caused bim to fail in producing instant death
Pickeral had taken his gun into the yard and
tied string 10 Il tree and thence TO the trigger
o. his gun, and then placin. the muzz'e OF The
weapon immediiiely against his left breast he
fired and the load entsre his body. DR.. G. o.
Monroe was Immediately summoned, and after
probing the wound and ascertaining the direc-
ten of the load he pronounced it mortal. Pick
eral is well known in the neghborhood where
he resided and has been for a number of years
past tenant on The old Mill Farm owned by
p A. Sasscer, Esq. Family troubles and drink
are said to have been the causes which led him
to the attempt to take his life. Though suffer-
ing much pain from the wound he still express
ses a wish 10 die and hopes that the wound
may yet prove mortal He has retained con-
sciousness ever since the shooting and is still
Icing attended By DIR. Monroe.
