IT is announced by a Georgia pa per that the colored people of that State own $l2, 900 900 worth of property. Per haps if they keep on increasing their assets they will ultimately reach the point where they can buy from their former masters the privilege of voting the Republican ticket and having theii votes counted.-lGlObe- Democrat.
 Just SO What idiots the) )Republi- can leaders arc to suppose that any Negro with enough common sense and energy to accumulate property. would think for moment of voting the Radical ticket. No indeed. The better informed Negroes of the South know from actual experience that they are held in supreme detes
 tation by the entire North, who has no use for him other than to vote and work him, for their own Plorifi. cation True 1t IS that thero are yet some of the more reckless and ig- norant among the Negroes who can ana are being manipulated by emi' saries sent out iu the interest of the Republican party to stir up race troubles and dissensions, but even that will soon be thing of;he past.

FROM our Washington correspond cnt we learn that the result of the conference of the Republican Sena- tors at the residence of Senator Evarts on Wednesday, July B, practically defeats the expectations of those who had predicted an ear ly adjournment of Congress. The conference was held with the obj ject of deciding the question as to the course to Dc pursued hy the Senate with reference to the Tariff, and nearly every Republican Senator was present and expressed his views upon tho question. After a pro- longed discussion, It was was finally decided that the Finance Commit tee should prepare Tariff blll

Notes from a Westerner.
BY ESTHER.

| have often wondered why it is that
more do not write for the Household.
One only of our western members, that
Jerusha, has ever written. 1, too, live
in Illinois and certainly more of the
WATCHMAN's friends live here also,
and what Vermonters or their children
who have ever known the WATCHMAN
can do without it? Although l am a
Sucker and, with the exception of
about two years in Vermont, have al
ways lived here, yet Vermont and Yer
monters are dear to me, perhaps be-
cause nearly all my relatives are there.
The WATCHMAN has always been a
weekly visitor since l was child, and
l think should miss it more than any
other paper we have. ] wonder why
more of the western friends do not
make themselves known. | have come
this time to ask favor of some of the
sisters. Can any one tell me how to
prepare sweet crab-apples for winter
use? They are nearly ripe and | do
not know how to fix them in any way
except to eat them as they ripen. A
speedy answer will oblige.
Did any of you ever have trouble
Win CAKE IrOstlngI ulu, anu snort
time ago friend told how she made
hers and l will try and help some one
else. This is the recipe: Two-thirds
of a cup of graduated sugar, three
table-spoonfuls of water; boil until it
hairs nicely on the spoon; then pour
over the well-beaten white of one egg,
stirring briskly all the time until cool.
Then here is cake recipe think
nice: Two eggs, one cup of sugar,
three table-spoonfuls of water, one
tablespoonful of sweet cream, one cup
of flour, two tea-spoonfuls of cream of
tartar, one tea-spoonful of soda. Mode
The beaten yolks of the eggs and the
sugar stirred together; then add the
water and cream, mix the flour, cream of
tartar and soda together and beat well
then add the whites of the eggs beaten
stiff. Bake in two layers. l often
dissolve the soda in little warm water.
l should add also that extra G sugar
will make a better cake, granulated
is hard to melt and my cake was heavy
when | used that, but as light as a
feather when | used the other.

ADVERTISEMENTS

T6e tdRue of an honest
dollar is as much in the
spending as in the making.
But, alack, in the spending
thou art more easily caught
by brice than value. Sharpen
thy dull wits. If It's an
Organ thou seekest, thou
should'st discover that the
EsTEY ORGAN Co., Brattle-
boro, VT, do suitably appoint
their Organ for the quarter
of score of years, and that
they shall be at charges in the
interim for its least indiffer-
ence. Prithee, give this some
heed. The best is cheapest
in the end Waste not thy
money in a battle 'gainst thy
senses. Be thou not in thine
own lifetime the executt0ney

The Order In Maine.

The growth of our order in Maine,
except the first two years, has not been
phenomenal, but strong, healthy and
pleasing. The move of reaction that
followed the first five years of its exist
ence, and that marked period of de-
preston covering four years, was but
the rebound of the first wave and the
lull in the incoming tide. This year
we are to see our steady growth well
maintained and substantial progress
made, as indicated by score of new
grange halls and more than thousand
of our best farmers and their wives
added to our ranks. The past winter
and spring was no doubt a trying
time to weak oranges. With bad
weather and roads, hard travelling was
discouraging to many and required grit
and energy to get out to meeting. But
the times have changed; haying has
come and gone, the autumn with its
evenings is near at hand, and now is
the time to start anew, and start for
victory. Now is the time to get to-
gether what there is remaining and
put on additions and build up and
strengthen and round out into fair and
stable proportions the grange edifice in
your locality. Work will do it. We
never hear anything about insurance in
our grange" we overheard a member
of a grange remark. Well, why not?
The grange to which the member be-
longs is small, weak and Indifferent. 1t
never was thoroughly baptized with
the good grange spirit. 1t merely eX-
lists and survives, living at poor dying
rate. Every Patron should hear of in
surance, think of insurance, practice in
surance and understand insurance in
and through the grange. There is
saving enough in this one item to pay
the running expenses of every grange
in the state-subordinate county and
state-and handsome overplus. Prog
ress marks. the news from all quarters
of the grange field The claim that
the grange has accomplished its pur-
poses is true in one sense-that of retro
spection. 1t has done its work and
done it well up to date, but the COM
parison must be always in regard to
time. The grange is living, progress
i've institution, taking new steps as new
steps are demanded, keeping abreast
of the times, leading in relation to re-
forms, fostering, in regard to encour-
agement of the best ways and means,
education to all its members, elevating
to the whole it comes in contact with
and helpful in all things in the business
of life.-Maine Farmer.

and cleansed, the house linen prepared
and kept in order, beside the cooking,
and / took it all as a matter of course.
l begin to see what woman's work is,
even when she has help, which you are
not always able to procure. You ought
to receive a monthly stipend as a
housekeeper would. Why haven't you
made me see it before? / have not
been just to you, while / have been
generous TO others" The wife, who
told this in after years to her husbands
credit, sat down with him and for the
first time since their marriage opened
her heart freely upon the topic of
woman's allowance. She confessed to
have had many sorrowful hour at her
position as beggar. AT the head of
large household in western town,
where domestic service was both scant
and incompetent, she had hardly been
trusted with five dollars at time during
their united lives. Robert and |
talked it over" she said, land decided
that the woman who takes care of any
household article, like a carpet, for in
stance, from the time it is first made
till it is worn out, has expended upon
it an amount of time and strength fully
equal to the labor that made it, count
ing from the shearing the wool till it
comes from the loom. 1t may be I'M
skilled work, but it is work all the
same. And this is only one small item
in her housekeeping labor. Does she
not deserve some payment beside her
board and clothing? Robert saw
woman's work in a new light. From
that time till to-day he has placed a
generous share of his income in my
hands-not as gift, but as a right
And he knows that l will no more
fritter it away than he will. If
choose to deny myself something
need and bestow its cost in charity or
buy some books l crave, he no more
thinks of Gliding me than l think of
Gliding him for spending his money as
he likes" There are other Roberts
who have yet to learn this lesson of
justice, and they are found in every
walk of life. | have known rich men
who were ready to buy silks, velvets
and diamonds for their wives, some
times far beyond what were desired,
yet who grudgingly doled out five dol
lars at time when appealed to for a
little money. The reason given is that
it may be spent foolishly If anything
will prolong babyhood into maturity
it is such treatment. Against it a
woman's nature rises in rebellious
Indignation. Thoughts of bitterness
rankle in the wounded heart and there
are Eighty, hooking, hippant creatures
made so by just this want of trust or
the part of their husbands. The gravest
and most elusive faults are always
found among dependent classes. Coco

What is the Grange Doing!

Postmaster-genera Dickinson has is
sued a circular instructing postmasters
that under the provisions of the post
office appropriation bill recently passed
by congress the postage on seeds, cut
tings, bulbs, roots, scions and plants
will be charged at the rate of one cent
for each two ounces or fraction thereof.
The former rate was one cent per ounce.
Here is one more answer to the Ques-
ton asked by some who are slow to see,
" What has the grange accomplishment
One of the measures discussed at the
last session of the national grange was
the reduction of the high postal rates
Gn the interest of express companies)
on seeds, plants, bulbs, etc. 1t was the
unanimous sentiment of the national
grange that reduction should be made,
and this action together with the sense
of the national grange on a number Of
other important matters) was laid upon
the desk of every member of congress
within ten days after it convened last
December. Personal letters from Pa
irons and grange resolutions from state
and subordinate oranges, with visits of
grange committees followed, and here is
one more result to 90 on record and one
more answer to " What is the grange
doing?"-a saving in this one item of
postage because by reducing the ex-
pense of reaching their customers seed
men and others can reduce their prices
accordingly of hundreds of thousands
of dollars in year.-Mortimer White
