No Parade Democrats are enquiring
when the Republicans Of the county are going
to celebrate their grand victory. Our opinion
is that the Republican leaders, being sensible
aud level headed men, see no necessity tol
making night hideous by drum beats, broom
parades and suth like demonstrations, which
can do no good, and which will only wouul
the feelings Of their opponents VictorJ to
the Republican party is no new thing. They
have had it often in the past, and many time
in the future will they win, in national aud
local contests There is no need of having
demonstrations the record OF the old party i,
glory enough for its members.

How to keep AppleS.-There is differ
enee in the keeping qualities of apples in DIFF
ferent years says the New York World. that
nobody has been fully able to account for
Occasionally year occurs, to all outward
appearances not exceptionally different from
others, when windtdls will keep as well as
carefully picked apples in former ones Such
a difference cannot be laid to the handling of
the fruit, but must be owing TO atmospheric
influences. Apples will endure without ipiu-
~ much lower temperature than will peta-
toes, aud the cooler they are kept without
freeing the better. Dry, cool cellars are gen
orally preferred by farmers AS a store place for
their barrelled apples, but Of late years some
growers claim that this fruit keeps better in
moist than in dry places, always providing
said places is cool. When kept in cellars.
good ventilation is necessary in all cases. -
When barrelled in an orchard and not ship.
ped away at once, the apples are better to be
put up in tiers under the trees and protected
from the rain and sun by boards than to be
put 10 buildings. Some persons leave the
barrels all on tie ground in the shade and un-
covered, claiming that they keep cooler on
the ground than when piled up. Apples rails
ed on rich alluyial lands Eill prove poor keep
ers. For the best keeping the orchard should
be on high or billy lands aud not Io0 rich.

difference to things ofan earthly nature he pre-
s,nted his ballot it was accepted by the gent
al ledge, and deposited in the ballot box.
The voter was turning away, when his atten-
ton was attracted to the new style OF recepa-
Gle for tickets, having glass sides all around,
so that the ballots could be seen after they
were dropped in. His attention became more
fixed his eyes began to pop Great heavens!
what had he done? Yes, there was no doubt
of it, for there, right on top Of the pile, was a
receipt for some goods, which he bad voted
instead of his ticket, the two having heen

HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, June o. The House,
this morning. passed the agricultural
appropriation bill, after which it went
into committee Of the whole on the
tariff bill.
The amendment under consideration
was to strike from the free list timber,
hewn and sawed, and timber used for
spars and wharves.
Randall said it should DE the object
of the House to fix the tar f. just high
enough to cover the differences in the
wages of lumber men IN this country
aud Canada and he hoped they would
be fixed as in his bill, at Is cents al
valorean.
Boothman, of California. advocated
the adoption of thu amendment 10 the
bill, believing free lumber meant idle
workmen in this country. IL iumb Der
men were thrown out OF employment
they had only agriculture to Turn To-,
and that field is already glutted.
A division was then had on the
Strubler amendment, and 1t was re-
iected. Yeas &c, nays 100.
Randall then moved TO strike out the
paragraph and insert, Tint Der not fur
Their manufactured than hewn, squared
aud sided, but this amendment was re-
jected without div - and the second
paragraph of the olii, on timber
squared and sided" was read.
Taulber, of Kentucky, moved to
strike out the paragraph. Burrows
read the statement TO show the import
ance of the lumber industry. which it
was, he said proposed to strike down.
He said 100000 600 we're paid the labor
ers In this industry, the third largest IN
the couutry IN one year.
The statements, he said, had been
made not by his (Burrow's) constitu-
ents, but by those of Messrs. Tarsney
and Fisher.
Cox, of New York, said these men
were almost all millionaices. men who
had made the forests of Michigan almost
a desert. At this point he was
q protectionist. He wanted to protect
the forests of the United States from
the axe.
The committee then rose to limi, the
debate to ten minutes, but the Repub
licaus refused 10 vote, leaving Inc
House without a quorum. Finally
compromise was reached on forty min
utes debate, and the House again went
into com mittee of the whole. Finally
oebate on the pending paragraphs, ex
piring the amendment to strike it out,
was rejected. Yeas 81, nays 10l.
The third paragraph in the bill.
Wood manufactured, not specially
enumerated or provided for" was tn n
read and taken up for consideration.
Bayne, of Pennsylvania. moved to
strike out.
After some debate the committee
rose, leaving Bayne' amen ment pend
ng, and the House adjourned.
