Fruits for preserving should be carer

ripe, and as soon after picking as pos

too large a quantity at one time, as
great care should be taken to keep
them from burning or boiling over. If
not sealed, a pound of sugar should be
used for every pound offruit; if sealed,
much less sugar may be used. In pre-

FASHION AND BREEDING.
Che Deals With Behavior, the Other
is a Matter OF CHI racter.

From the Boston Courier
There is perhaps no more infallible sign Of
yulgarity than the mistaking of fashion for
good breeding and yet there is perhaps no
error more common. The underlined man
always suppoSes himself TO be comprising
the innermost mysteries of being gentle
man when he has followed the latest whim-
steal fancies of fashion. They have no inner
sense OF the fitness of things, and are forced
to depend upon outer rules They cannot
be said to forget-since they have never
known-that there is an essential vulgarity
in the eternal discu>s sion of forms and GUS
toms. The truly well-bred man knows as
matter of course what is proper and il
| under unusual circumstances he may some
tunes be at a loss, in regard to etiquette, he is
always able to be superior to the whimsi-
calities of fashion.
The distinction between good breeding
| and fashion is usually pretty strongly
marked in people of the new rich variety.
These upstairs are apt to be we'll up in all
the devices and desires Of fashion; they are
painfully exact in their Observance of the
latest wnimsicahties of dress and deport-
ment, they are miserable over any failure
to keep up with the freshest changes in tie
ever-varying code of rules laid down by
some vulgar leader of fashioA VINO is for the
moment at the head of the swim but they
are absolutely outside of the truly weil-bred
circle. The caste of We're de We're" is above
the accidents OF the hour, and does not de-
scend from its lofty elevation because of
failure to comply with outward rule which
change from day 10 day and from week to
week like the dictates of fashion.
And herein is the whole secret to the mat
ter; fashion is of the surfa e, while breed
ing is of the mind. Fashion deals with the
behavior; breeding is a matter of charac-
ter. Fashion is a varnish which may be
applied to any surface, while breeding is a
method of making. A beggar may be

Ghosts Stealing Cotton.

From the Monticello FId.l Constitution.
There is an old colored woman living
about one an half miles from Lloyds. She
planted a small cotton patch near her cabin.
and few days ago she decided to gathe r
her crop. She gathered large basket full
of the fieecy staple and put it in small out
house, Next morning when she came out
she noticed cotton scattered all over the
ground, covering space of about
200 yards square. She went into the
clubhouse where she had put the
basket the night before, and TO the old
woman's astonishment the basket was
empty. She gathered up the cotton, put
ting il in the same basket, and piling an old
head board of bedstead, pillow and lot
of brick on top. The old woman left,
thinking that the cotton was safe, and
short while afterward she noticed the same
cotton falling on the ground. She went in
side of the house, anu saw that the cotton
was getting lower in the basket, but
could not see il come OUT she noticed only
small crack in the side of the house, but
could not see the cotton come through. BY
this time the old woman thought thing,
were getting scarev around there, and sent
for the MesSrs Davis, who came and gath
cred up the cotton, putting it in the same
basket. They had the same experience of
the old woman he colt IN was soon spread
all over tue field.
About this stage of the game the Consti-
tuition man felt almost as badly frightened
as the old woman; we did not know what
was coming next-the hair began TO rise on
our head, and the buttons on our coat to
rattle.
The old woman says she can only account
for it in one way. that during her husbands
lie time whenever he did anythi0g that
was not exactly right she would whip him,
and she expected that IL was old Billy
raising the disturbance in the cotton.

treating American employees on the railroads
whenever an accident occurs and Mexican
gets killed. Mexican courts value the life of
a Mexican out of all reason, and at the same
time seem glad of opportunity to punish
an American. The case of engineer Burnett
is still fresh in the public memory. For an
unavoidable accident he was imprisoned in
chihuahua for over year, and was unable to
obtain trial until his case was taken up by
the American press and so strongly and effect
lively agitated that the chihuahua authorities
at last reluctantly brought him to trial, at
which nothing could be proved against him,
and he had to be discharged. If General
Bragg really wants to make himself useful

TEE Po0I. DEMooRATTo LEADERS.

The organ and leaders of fine Democratic
party in Indiana seem determined to shoulder
the infamy of the taly-sheet forgeries, and
make the case party issue. Our Washington
dispatches say the In diana Democrats there
are indignant at the conviction of Coy and
Bernhamer, and are determined to make
every effort to save them. The same is true
hees Mr.. Turpie, Representative Bynum,
and the other big and little guns in Washing
ton, all the way down to the ward bummers
in Indianapolis, the leaders are of one mind
Mark you, there is pretense that the
defendants are not guilty, but the defendants
must be saved on some legal technicalities
This seems to be recognized party neces-
sity. In thus determining TO make
the case political Issue we
think these party leaders are max
ing a great mistake, but perhaps
they know best. Readers of the Journal can
testify that it has not at any time discussed
the case from a partisan standpoint. From
the Preparation of the crime to the present
every stage of the proceeding, from the first
discovery and startling announcement of the
fraud, the citizens meeting to denounce it,
the formation of the committee of one hun
dred, the investigation before Commissioner
Van Buren,, the action of the different grand
juries, the habeas corpus proceedings to get
Perkins and Coy cut of Jail, the discussion
before Justice Harlan and his decision on the
the defendants, the first trial, resulting in
disagreement of the jury, and the later pro-
ceedings-at every stage the Journal has
deprecated the introduction of partisan poll
tics. 1t has denounced the fraud and the
perpetrators, and has demanded that the whole
enginery of the law be used to bring them to
Justice, not because they were Democrats
but because they were criminals. We
have treated the matter not as an offense
against the Republican party, but against the
people-not as a political trick, but as
crime. And so before the second trial began
we expressed the hope that it would proceed
strictly legal lines to the rigid exclusion of
partisan politics. and whatever the verdict, it
was TO be hoped it would not be a political
one.
Very different has been the course of the
Democratic organ and the socalled leaders of
the party. From the hour the frauds were
discovered to the present time there has been
persistent attempt to shield the guilty par
ties At every stage of the proceedings the
case has been treated from the lowest partisan
stand point. The prosecution, because it was

A PITIFUL PLEA.

If all be true that is published in the Senti-
mel of what two or three of the Democratic
jurors in the conspiracy case say how it can
possibly affect the justice of the verdict is
hard to see Not one of them intimates that
he finally voted for the conviction of Coy and
Bernhamer against belief in their guilt, but
they say they were induced to so vote be-
cause they were made to think the punish
ment would be only a fine and not imprison-
ment in the penitentiary! According to their
own statements these men were satisfied of
the guilt of the defendants but held out on a
question of punishment. The conspirators
were guilty enough to be fined, but not guilty
enough to go to prison. This is all that is
claimed. Yet the very first thing the jurors
were told in the charge was that they had
nothing to do with the question of punish
ment all they had to determine was the
question of fact, the court settled the matter
of punishment. And the question of fact the
jury did settle, and now two or three claim
they never would have agreed to the verdict
except that some member made them believe
All verdicts are Compromise verdicts. It
is not often, if ever, that the minds of twelve
men are found to be in exact agreement the
moment they enter their room after being
given case. On the contrary, juries, almost
without exception, kept out varying
lengths of time for the very purpose of con-
sulting together, arguing with each other,
influencing each other, removing doubts from
each others minds, until the entire Twelve
can come to a unanimous conclusion on some
basis. The only thing that can vitiate a
verdict IS that it is determined by some
active or improper pressure and duress. There
is no claim of outside interference in this case
the only claim is, that one or two Jurors
may possibly have been Influenced to their
verdict by the appeals of their fellow jurors,
based upon the possibilities of light punish
ment, or because one of them, especially,
desired to go home. If the tally-sheet forgers
organs and apologists are to be believed, there
are one or two jurors who are making this
pitiful plea to shield themselves from the
torrent of abuse and denunciation that is
being poured upon their devoted heads by the
nartv bosses
