dozen small ripe tomatoes, prick each
one in two or three places, and care
fully preserve the juice that flows from
them; keep it in a covered vessel until
wanted. Put the tomatoes in a deep
earthern jar, and sprinkle a little salt
between each layer. Place a cover on
the jar and let it remain undisturbed
for three days. On the fourth day re-
move the tomatoes from the brine,
wash them thoroughly, and dry them
very carefully. Put them INTO jars and
add the juice that flowed from them at
first. Boil as much vinegar as will en-
tirely cover the tomatoes with half an
ounce Of pepper, half an ounce of
cloves and a tablespoonful of mustard
seed. The vinegar should be allowed
to get cold, before being poured into
the jars. If desired, some onions cut

use in a fortnight. The jars must be

Wake I'm.

We would respectfully call the aUten-
ton of our City Counciimen to the arti-
Gle in THE NEWS of this morning, copied
from the PopUldr Science Monthly, and
nope it will receive their careful consid
Grafton, and result in inducing them to
do something, before another summer
overtakes us, toward providing the town
with necessary sanitary improvements,
so as not to be classed in the same cate
CORY of "malarial MANUFACTURES" as the
cities named in the article referred to.
1t must be obvious to our City Fathers
who have the health and welfare of our
beautiful city at heart, that something
in the way OF sewerage will have tn he
done, and that soon, in order to protect
that class of our citizens who have not
the means to summer abroad.
We cannot understand the reason, as
we have already mentioned in a former
article, why the Council cannot proceed
in their work of having the necessary
survey and plans made. in order 10 get
estimates for the completion of the con-
templated sewers, as they have already
made the appointment of Sanitary En-
gineer. 1t is true that the appointee, for
some cause, failed to enter upon his
work, but that does not prevent the ap-
pointment of another. There are num-
Der of thoroughly competent engineers
to be had, and some one of the lot should
be set to work. Time is exceedingly val
liable in this respect. There are resident
engineers competent to do the work: why
not appoint one of them:
/ We will have to press the work of i'm
provement with vigor, for if not we will
lose our reputation of being one of the
healthiest cities in Florida. We are con
stantly growing in population, and,
therefore. need the modern improve
ments of drainage and sewerage, and we
! ought TO have them at once.
Gentlemen of the Council. awaken
from your apparent sleep and continue
the good work you have begun. There
are numerous reasons why there should
| be no delay about the matter.

According to the Medical Record, DR..
Louis Jobert has published a work on
the cause and frequency of left-haEded-
ness. No purely left-handed race has
ever been discovered, although there
seems to be difference in different
tribes. Seventy per cent of the inhab-
itants of the Pupjaub use the left hand
by preference, and the greater number
of the Hottentots and Bnshmen of South
Africa also use the left hand in prefer
ence to the right. DR.. Mario, as a re-
suit of the study of criminals, has
found that from IA to 90 per cent.of those
who have been convicted of crime were
left-handed, the highest ratio among
people OF all classes being only nine in a
hundred

The Freedmen's Bank.

The investigation of the affairs of the
Freedmen Bank by Mr.. Trenholm and
other officers, says the New Orleans
Times Democrat, has convinced them of
the responsibility of the Government
toward the depositors i'll that tank. Its
affairs, they say, were loosely and badly
administered. and there was strong dis
position shown on the part of all TO get
out of the bank before the collapse ar
rived, which they saw was coming.
As the bank was semi governmental
in its character, the freedmen who de-
posted their money in it did SO becauGe

latter for these losses, for not seeing that
the bank officers attended TO their bust
ness, becomes evident
This fact has been recognized by many
persons for years, and Congress often
urged 10 erase this blot and to restore
to the unfortunate depositors their just
earnings. which they had lost through too
great confidence in the honor Of the
United States.
1t seems more than probable that the
blot will soon be wiped out. The loose
ness with which the Freedmen's Bank
was managed, has never been so thor
oughly known a. today. Congress,
however, seems willing to do this act of

The Mayor of PHILADELPHIA n few day.

The Mayor of Philadelphia few days
ago requested the city solicitor to know
whether the police could interfere with
displays made by shopkeepers during
the holidays to draw crowds to their
show windows. The complaint was
made that the hating crowds blocked
the thoroughfares. The solicitor held
that the shopkeepers certainly had the
right to attract notice to their wares by
any legitimate device, and it was the
duty of the authorities to see that tbs
thoroughfares were not blocked.

official conduct of County Judge
Haughton, and find the charges entirely
unsupported by the facts in the case.
No such sentence was rendered by Judge

fiicted in Palatka. Doubtless the ladies
of our neighboring city acted under
misrepresentation, and will so acknowl,

in publishing a signed communication,

disclaim all desire to injure Judge
Haughton, and knew nothing at that

Reference having been made in a re-
cent health lecture at the Society of
Arts to an outbreak-the first in the his
tory of the island-of malarial fever
which occurred in Mauritius in 1866,
Mr. F. Guthrie, who was there at the
time. gives n statement Of what he found.
upon exam nation. was the cause of the
outbreak. The embankmentS of the new
railroad had caused the accumulation of
water in pords on either side of the
track. This became st4gnant and i'm
pregnateu with the sewage that surged
down from the higher land, till il was
strongly offensive to the sight and smell.
In view of the existence of these cess
pools on grand scale, Mr.. Guthrie does
not believe that the outbreak was due to
the 'cle ring of the forests" or To the
''upturning of the virgin soil but sim

not know. and who. even when it was
