Mr. MORTON, the republican candidate
for the Vice Presidency, speaks of his own
aud the democratic party as the only two
parties in the country. This is not polite
on the part of the rich New York banker,
for there are the temperance, the labor, the
American, and various other parties, SO
strong as to have Presidential tickets in the
fed, and such talk is not calculated to les
sen the opposition of the supporters ofthose
tickets to the republican ticket.

CoTToN.-In the cotton growing section
of the border line Of Virginia and North
Carolina there is diversity of opinion as to
the condition of the crop. Some farmers
say cotton is better than it has been for
many years: others say that although their
cotton is small it is IN q healthy condition,
aud q few declare that the prospects are
very gloomy. A large majority report the
crops clean, and where not destroyed By hail
aud floods, there is generally good stand.

EXPERT TESTIMONY

}. II. Rittenhouse. c. F.. Mining Engineer of
Scranton. Pa, has known the twelve mines of the
Tortilita Gold and Silver Mining Co.. since 1880,
having spent good portion of that and tho fol-
lowing years at these mines. In a letter to the
President of the company, MIR. Rittenhouse SAYS:
II have been in good many mining camps in
Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona, and never
saw any better indications on the surface or ore
in such quantity and of such high grade anywhere
as in the Tortilita Camp. 10 partcularize The
desert mine is a large vein averaging about to
10 feet thick, in one place about 30 feet. Ore
taken from 1t in deyelopement assayed from 30
to 40 ounces silver per ton, per 100-ton lot. 1
think the oreis there in quantity, and that 10 or
90 stamp mill could be kept busy from 1t alone.
The formation is about the same as the Benton.
The other mines near the Desert wero de-
veloped to more or less extent by several shafts
sunk Upon the incline, showing well-defined walls
and ore about same grade as the Desert. The
Eagle is thoroughly defined and with bold for
that country groupings. Ore carries moro gold
than silver, about $500 OF the former and $l3 90
of the latter, / think. As for the Jesse Benton
and Tom Benton, think the Jesse Benton is
the bonanza of the camp. The average of the
bulk of the taken from 1t is 20 to 10 ounces of
silver; little gold occasionally. AS this ore
was the best, more attention was paid to it and
proved for a length of about 1900 feet twelve
hundred) along the claim aud the ore found about
the same in all parts. / believe the Benton will
prove itself to be one of the richest mines in
Arizona. All indications point that way"
limited number of the preferred dividend
shares of the stock of the company owning these
mines are offered for sale at 81 per share. Adj

THE BEAN QUESTION
Recipes from Region Where Beans Can
Never BE Cooked.

Recipes from Region Where Beans Can
Never BE Cooked.
what is your recipe for baking beansp
The question was asked Of several indlvld
uals Of extended experience.
Landlord Allen, of the Hotel Hamilton
who sat over against the big and finely
painted screen that adorns his dining room,
and bears an excellent likeness of that lover
of good things, Louis Leib, in the makeup Of
Falstaif, had no decided opinion as to baking
beans, bat his former business partner, who
was with him, said II wouldn't bake them
l would fry them Boil them three or four
hours, then drain them, put them in a spider
with salt pork, and fry them to a rich
brown
John Smelling, tie warm personal friend Of
Senator Malone, said: Down south they
have a habit Of cooking the beans according
TO the approved method and then mashing
them. / am fond of beans, but / did not
learn how to bake them until came here
l soak them until they become soft, put them
in an earthen jar with a little pork, season
with pepper and salt, turn little molasses
on the top of them, put the jar in the oven
and let the beans bake. always cook them
myself, and imagine know how to do il
WELL
~ have not yet become thoroughly &C.
quainted with the baked bean, ," said Bill Nye.
"Up in Laramie, where l held office, baked
beans were unobtainable at any price. The
altitude Of Laramie, like the prices that rule
there, is very high, and it was found impos.
sible to boil beans there with any degree of
success, let alone baking them. The only
way they could be cooked was to put little
saleratus in the water in which they were
boiling, but under the best conditions the
beans are liable TO be about as hard and un.
palatable as marbles.
They have a tradition in Germany that
beans can only be properly cooked when
soaked in clear spring water. The host of
Helms restaurant on Twenty street,
whose recipe did not materially differ from
that of the other epicures, was very particu-
lar as to the manner that they should be
soaked and prepared before baking. He soals
them about four hours and then bakes them
in dripping pan with a little piece of scored
pork. Mr.. Hill, the theatrical manager. who
is typical Yankee and an adept at baking
beans, believes that they should be soaked or
parboiled, drained and then put in a sheet
iron box. A hole in the ground should be
followed out and a fire built in it. When the
burning has gone on long enough to make
the desired degree of heat remove the brands
put in the box OF beans with a piece of pork
on top of it, cover up the box and let the con-
tents gradually but surely reach the desired
degree of pertection.-New York Evening
Sun.
