The issue at the election this fall
is simple one. Shall Camden be
returned to the U. S. Senate ? That
is the main question, and the battle
is shaping up with that as the only
end sought. There are points about
the general Encouragement of the
affairs of the State to be presented
to the voters; but an effort will
be made on every stump and cross
roads to befog the people into
voting directly to the main point
the election of delegates who
will support Camden. Republicans,
Greenbackers and Knights of Labor
should all be opposed to such a
course. He is no friend to Green
hackers or their principles; he is a
monopolist in its strlctest and Sc
verest sense, and is therefore direct
ly antagonistic to knights of Labor
and the principles they advocate,
and to vote to send men to the legis-
lature who are for him. He and his
party are grinding the farmer and
laborer between the upper and Meth
er millstones, and have ci:cumscrib-
cd them on every side by chains as
strong as any forged by the hands
of the smithy, and as grasping as the
devil fish. You now have o chance
to cut yourself loose from the grasp
of this political octopus and if We

THE SOUTHERN VOLUNTEERS.

Major III. Kyd Douglas, Of Hagers
town, in recent lecture said !: "The
Southern soldier received no price
for his patriotism. No bounty,
worthless pay, little or no hope of
pension, they were driven to enlist
by patriotism, CONSUMPTION or the
pressure at home, which drove them
to camp. For the last half of the
war the Confederates fought with
out pay. When paid $1,000 for a
modest uniform that was not worth
more than $50 in gold, and was
offered $1,000 for horse worth
S700-fair samples of prices at that
time-the Southern soldier in the
ranks was serving his country for
less than forty cents a month in gold.
Those were desperate and reckless
days, and l was once witness to a
game of poker, after night supper
where one officer lost $4,000 in a
few hours. and paid it in uncut
sheets of Confederate notes. 1t was
about that time that a Confederate
cavalryman gave snch emphasis to
our condition when he was offered
$4,000 for his sorry steed. Five
thousand dollars for this horse = he
answered as he proudly refined up
his bony Bucephalus, 'why, l gave
$1,000 this morning for currying
him y Pay day, irregular as it was
was sarcasm and jest, for when
evening came crowds of reckless sol
diers would gather around the camp
fires and the night would be filled
with laughter, as the accumulated
pay of months passed by the hazard
of cards from hand to hand. There
was no money for the soldiers to
send home to wife and children
none worth keeping for them, fol
the soldier knew it would be as
worthless as continental scrip. The
Treasury notes were beautiful tC
look upon but there was nothing
they would buy. They were only
good to gamble with"

SERIOUS PRACTICAL JOKE.


A rather peculiar accident and
one which might have resulted
fatally, occurred at the shovel works
at Bever Falls, Pa, on Friday after
noon. Charles Mckenzie, an
employee of the works, was standing
in an open doorway of the building,
almost ten feet from the ground,
looking iutently out upon the river,
when one of the other woIkmen, in
a spirit of fun slammed the heavy
door to against him, expecting it to
force him to jump to the ground
below. Instead, though, as it went
to it pushed him out, but caught one
heel, and there he hung suspended
in the air, with his head down aid
one foot firmly fastened. The man
who had shut the door thinking, OF
course, that he had jumped, paid no
further attention, and as the place
where he was hanging was in the
rear Of the building, where persons
seldom were, and the noise of the
machinery drowned all cries, he was
in great danger of hanging there
until he was dead. Realizing the
great danger he was in, and being
singularly active, he put forth a
great effort, and in some manner
managed to double himself up, grasp
the door frame and release his foot.
He was all but exhausted when this
was done, and his heel is so badly
hurt by the heavy door that he will
be unable to work for some time to
come.

CALVES TO ADVANTAGE.

First, own good cows. Treat them
kindly and keep them docile and
quiet. When about to calve, place
the COW in a separate stall and leave
her loose. Feed no grain or stimu-
lating food for month before calv-
ing. When the calf arrives, remove
it to pen at distance where it can
be kept quiet and comfortable. 1t
will never know what it is to be with
its mother, and much trouble after
wards will be spared. In three or
four hours milk the COW, and give
the milk to the calf, teaching it to
drink. With patient skill the calf
may be taught to drink in the first
lesson. Milk the COW four times
day, when the cow returned to the
stable and the milk is saved for
skimming. The calf gets only skim
med milk after this-three quarts at
feed twice a day, and warmed up
to eighty degrees. The feed is grad
ually increased as the calf grows,
and when it is two months old it Is
taught to take q little mixed ground
corn and oats, and have small
quantity with the warmed skinned
milk until it is six or eight months
old. This enables the calf to make
a fine growth, and brings it ~ ID
docility and gentleness. These quail
ties are improved by daily brush
ing and carding, and by using it 70
the halter and to lead, while II -
being fed in the pen. Continual
handling in this way prevents the
contracting of any Of the common
vices, and when the calf becomes
COW, it is an excellent state OF DIS
cipline and gives no trouble. ms
method, we'll carried out, is the man
step toward an improved herd, when
will be of very great value, and one
gained at a very small cost.-Ame'F
can Agricultural TO, July.

I" BLUE MONDAY"

How to make Monday easier in
those homes where the house mother
does her own work, and, perhaps,
has dairy and baby to care for,
is aquestion well worth consideration.
I know woman who does the wash
ing for FIVE persons, and always has
her clothes out on the lines by nine
o'clock. By noon, kitchen and d.
ning-room are in nice order, and
good dinner in readiness for her two
children and the two men-folks.
/ give her way of managing Mon.
day, for it seems a very easy one.
First-She always does large bak,
ing and boils or roasts large piece
of meat on Saturday, in order to
have plentiful provisions to draw
upon through Sunday and Monday.
Second-In a large stone jug she
keeps this washing compound, which
is quite inexpensive and does not
injure the clothes: One pound of
potash dissolved in gallon of warm
water, and half an ounce of sal am
monia.
Sunday night she puts the less
soiled of the white clothes in tub
of clear rain water, aud the remain
ing ones in another. Then she plans
an easily prepared breakfast, such as
potatoes warmed up to cream, boiled
eggs, oat or wheat grits, white and
brown bread, cold meat and coffee.
Monday morning while breakfast is
being prepared and eaten, she has
three pals of water heating in the
wash boiler. After breakfast she
adds to this water-which is at seal.
ding heat--a small cupful of the
washing compound, and puts in the
less soiled clothes, covering them
closely. While they simmer for
twenty minutes, she clears the break
fast away 1.-THE bedrooms being aired
as soon as the occupants are
out of them) and attends to the milk
and cream in the dairy. Then she
removes into clear water the clothes
from the boiler, and puts in the bal
ance of the white clothes. While
they are scalding she puts the first
batch through two rinse.waters, and
they are ready Tor the drying line.
The second catch generally needs a
little rubbing Of collars, wristbands
and the like, as they are rinsed
otherwise they are swung to the
breeze as speedily as the first. The
boiler snds, when cool, may be pour.
ed around the roots Of roses, cur
rants and fruit trees with good re-
suits. The rinse-water, with half .
cup of the washing compound, is
used for washing the colored clothes
and for hopping the kitchen floor.
About hall past nine this manager
of Mondays makes herself take a
little fifteen minutes rest, and cup
of tea with a slice of bread and
cheese, after which she feels quite
fresh for cleaning the kitchen and
getting dinner. She has learned the
wisdom of letting the bedrooms wait
until after dinner on Mondays. The
extra airing Of the beds does them
no harm, and she is saved the over
exertion and nerve.tension of trying
all at once.-E. ii. LELAND, IN
american Agricaltarist for July.
