Lie And the ConsiItution.

From the New York Tribune.
In a group of Congressman several
days ago the conversation turned on
Mayor HeWitt's declaration In favor
of making an alien subject to a pro-
baton Of fourteen years before his
admissionto the privileges of Am eri-
can citizenship. After a good deal
had been said In favor of and against
Mr.. Hewitt's proposition Butter
worth, of Ohio, as usual, was remind
ed of ''a little story" He said:
Judge Sage believed in a strict as
well as impartial administration of
his Office and he finally became dis
gusted with the perfunctory manner
in which aliens were clothed with tbs
privileges of American citizenship.
and announced that he would grant
no certificate of naturalization to a
man who could not read, or had not
read the Constitution of the United
States. Now Judge Sage had in his
service a bright, keen Irishman, Pat
rick Riley by name, and one day
when ne was on the bench Patrick
entered with q friend and stood
tWirling his hat with his fingers.
" Well, Patrick" said the Judge,
what is it? Can I do anything for
your
well yer Honor, it's me friend
Molke DOOlan, yer Honor, who wants
to be naturaized, says Pat.
s. DO you know him? Is he a man
OF good character who will make a
good citizen?'
" oh, yis yer Honor, I know him In
timately and he will make an iIigant
citizen. Come fOrrud Moike, and
spake wild his Honor
8 'MOike' came forward, about as
green a specimen from the Emerald
Isle as the Judge ever had seen.
" well, Mr.. DoOlan,' said Judge
Sage, you desire to become a citizen
of the United States?'
''He does that, yer Honor said
Sc DO you realize Mr.. DOOlan, that
it is a very important step which you
are about to take-tO renOunce your
allegiance to every foreign prince and
pOtentate, and to swear to bear true
faith and allegiance to the United
lCC-stSo elAA~A kSN1 y anu NACAEAAl OA4S
Constitution Of the-by the way; Mr..
DoOlan, have you ever read the Con-
stitutiOn of the United States?"
perhaps 'MOike' had never heard
of the Constitution of the United
States before; at any rate he never
had read it, and he had to answer in
the negative. Patrick looked at him
with a cOuntenance full Of reprOach,
and said:
g 'Ah, MOike, ye desaved me. Why
didn't ye tell me ye niVer had read
the COnstitOOshun?'
q" We'll well, said the Judge, here's
a copy of the Constitution, Patrick;
you and Mr.. DOOlan may go to some
quiet place where he can read it
'"Ihey retired, and ne returned in
less than five minutes. Patrick's
face was beaming as he again ap-
preached the bench with his country
man and addressed the court.
Z" Yer Honor; MOike has read the
COnstitoOshun, and he's d9lOighted
Wit it-perfectIy delOighted wild it.
''Judge Sage used to say" con-
tinued ButterWOrth, "that Pat and
Moike were not absent long enough
to read the first paragraph, but that
he administered the oath to Mr..
DooIan, and issued his first papers
to that individual.

SELBYsPORT, Md, Jan 10, 1888.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:-W have
been informed that certain individu.
ais in this community have circulated
the report that we, during the recent
political campaign, received money
from the Democrats, and prior to and
on the day of election worked for one
or more of their candidates. The re-
port is false. and known to be false
by the persons circulating il, but used
by them for their own purpose,
which we are glad to say have come
to naught. We are, and always have
been, consistent Republicans, and in
the last campaign labored earnestly
at all times for the success of every
candidate on the Republican ticket,
not scratching any. Our only regret
is that Mr.. Thomas H. Bittinger was
not as successful as our other nomi.

A Typical California Farm.

A typical example of California
farming is illustrated by the Huff
man ranch. 1t is magnificent prop
erty devoted to wheat and barley
surrounding the town of MERGED, and
extending over 10000 acres. When
the blowing season comes on. grand
procession makes its appearance COM
posed of ten eight-mule teams and
machinery of the latest invention,
performing the feat of blowing sixty
acres a day. When harvest draws
near. new kind of string darkens
the horizon. 1t is the combined har-
vester, a California invention, sort
of travelling magician, and two of
these mechanisms being set to work
will perform wonders. Each one will
cut, thresh and sack about fifty acres
per day, with the aid of about five
men and thirty mules accomplishing
the work that formerly required
forty men. Marvellous improvements
are constantly in progress, and next
summer steam is to supplant mule
power, while the grand canal, in pro-
cess of construction for the last four
years, will then be completed, thus
supplying irrigation for 800, 900 acres.
The ultimate design of the owners,
Croker and Huffman, is to cut the
ranch up into small farms and make
it lana of homes.

The Many Virtues of Salt.

When you give your cellar its
spring cleaning add little copperas
water and salt to the whitewash.
Sprinkling salt on the tops and at
the bottoms of garden walls is said to
keep snails from climbing up and
down,
For relief for heartburn or dyspep-
STA, drink little cold water in which
has been dissolved a teaspoonful of
salt.
Ink stains on linen can be taken
out if the stain is first washed in
strong salt and water and then
sponged with lemon juice.
In basin of water, salt, of course,
falls to the bottom ; so never soak salt
fish with the skin side down, as the
salt will fall to the skin and remain
there.
For stains on the hands, nothing is
better than little salt, with enough
lemon juice to moisten it, rubbed on
the spots and then washed off in clear
water.
For weeds in pavement or gravel
walks, make a strong brine of coarse
salt and boiling water; put the brine
in a sprinkling can and water the
weeds thoroughly, being careful not
to let any of the brine get on the
grass, or it will kill it too.
The very simple remedy of COM
mon salt has cured many cases of
fever and ague. A teaspoonful taken
in water, and a teaspoonful deposited
in each stocking. next to the foot, ms
the chill is coming on, This CONF
prises the whole of the treatment.

Jnstice Andrew Gender, breathed
his last at his residence on Green
street, at II o'clock Friday morning.
Mr.. Gender was in his 6Sth year. He
was born in the province of Alsace,
France, in 1920, but when he was
seven years old his parents removed
to Germany. They came from there
to America in 1882, settling at Fred
erick. In 1887 young Gender came
to Cumberland and took a position
as clerk in Patrick O'Neall's store,
corner Mechanic and Mill streets. In
1S43 he entered the store Of Gustavus
Beall as clerk, and i'll 1874 he and the
late w. r. BeaIl, bought out the
establishment. He soon alterWard
purchased Mr.. BpalI's interest, and
carried on the business alone for
about five years, when, meeting with
reverses, he failed. In 1850 he was
appointed ii magistrate 10y Governor
Philip Francis Thomas, and he held
that Office continuously, with the ex.
cepti0n Of two years, up to the time
of his death. These two years were
1872 and 1873. His term of official
service COVERED sc years and he is be-
lieved to have been the oil lest magis.
trate in the State in point Of service.
In 1865 he went into the clothing
business, which he continued for Is
years, mean u lille also discharging
his duties as a magistrate. He was
president of the school board from
1868 TO 1875. In 1873 lie was the Dem
ocratic candidate for sheriff and was
defeated by Col. j. G, Lynn. In 1913
he was married to Miss Catherine
Brown, who died last October. The
deceased leaves six children, all

his devoted wife was a sad blow to
him. He was taken i'll last Noyem-
Der, and for several days hung be-
tween life and death. He rallied,
however, and grew so much better
that Christmas day he was able to 20
out driving, and on the 9th went up
to the court house and attended to
some business. Upon his return he
complained of feeling unwell and
said to one of his sons that he feared
he was going to have relapse. This
proved to be but too true. Mr.. Con
der's record as a magistrate was an
excellent one and he had, in the
course of his career, disposed of
great number of cases. He was of
jovial temperament and his hearty
laugh was familiar to many of our
citizens. AS relator of anecdotes
he was especially apt and he was
always a pleasant companion. He
~ as a loving father and true friend.
He was one of the earliest and most
faithful members of st. Patrick's
church and was for many years
member of the choir.-Cttn16erland
