We PUBLISH elsewhere the resolutions
adopted by q mass meeting OF the best
people OF Delhi condemuing the recent
outrageous attack made upon the Jew
ish merchants Of that place by band
Of lawleas ruf1ians. We knew there
were some good, law-abiding people In
Delhi and that they would not give
sanction to the outrage by remaining
silent. Their action is timely and will
70 long way towards removing the
stigma which has been placed upoh
the good name Of their town by few
thoughtless and lawless rowdies. II
only remains now for the officials Of
Richland to complete the good work
so auspiciousIy begun by the good
people OF Dslhi by bringing the guilty
parties TO justice.

when Mr.. Cleveland was elected
President, Mr.. Hiscock, OF Syracuse,
then a Republican Representative in
Congress, asked that the Republican
postmaster at that place might be al
lowed to serve out his term. TIE re.
quest was granted, and it was not until
more than three years after Mt. Cieve-
lands inauguration that the Republic
can postmaster, at the end OF his term,
was replaced by Democratic successor
Mr.. Northrup. When Mr.. Harrison
was inaugurated, Mr.. Hiscoek had be-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-E1-Pre'i.
don't Cleveland was Interviewed last
night on the election results. "1t IS
evident" said he, "that the ieavsn Of

den Of tariff taxation, has awakened;
Tho State platforms of both Iowa and

THE EFFECT.

The result Of Tuesday's elections Is
certainly very gratifying to the people
of the South.
Harrisou's administration has been
cuude mued BY the people and his pol
lev to capture the Solid South has been
met in the Old Dominion and put to
an isuominious cefeat.
The policy was to capture Virginia
and use her AZ an entering wedge to
break up the Solid South and turn the
Southern States over to the min!ons OF
the z. o. p. to 30 again looted BY them
and held to keep The Republican party
in power. The renegade traitor and
willy aud able politician, Gen. William
| Malone, was selected as the admins
trat,on's lieutenant to do the work IN
Virginia and the administration back
ed hin, with all its power of patronage
aud wealth, but thank Ged the Demo-
Gratis of Virginia boldly met the issue
and routed the enemy horse, foot and
dragon, They buried Malone out o.
hearing under an avalanche OF votes
and It is to be sincerely hoped that hi
will never be resusrected. Harrison
can hardly have any further use fol
him and the people Of Virginia hav'
long since decided by their votes tina
thew had no earthly use for him. Elk
Gov. Lee telegraphed to ex-Presider
Cleveland after the result was know
, that "Virglnia to-day has snowe'

1t is quite true that by the end OF
the campaign Grants doggedness had
produced q certain effect upon the
Confederate soldiery. All acknowledge
it. But what was that triumph? IN
doubtedly they had begun to realize
that. il the North would allow Its SOL
diers to be exposed to such frightfol
butchery, the North might at thai
price triumph. But not for ono mo-
neut did 1t modify the confluence OF
the Southern soldierly In their own

moment OF the surrender at Appomat-
tox did a Southern soldier doubt that
everything that any general could DO
for his army had been done by Lee, l
fancy that If at Cold Harbor the propo.

FOR OUR YOUNG READERS.
MORNING AND NIGHT,

Good Morning peeped over her eastern gate
To see if the children were up:
And laughed at bumblebee coming home late,
Who was caught in a hollyhock cup.
Conditioning has eyes like the CLINT of the
skies
When they're bright as the sun and the stars
mixed together,
And her lips are so sweet, and her steps are so
fleet, -,
She can dance like thistledown, fly like
feather.
You ''never have seen her?' Oh, me. Oh me !!
What dull little sleepy head you must be!
CONDITIONING can sing like brook or bird;
She knows where the fairies all hide;
Some folk, hard of hearing, say they never have
heard
Her sing, though they often have tried.
Good-Morning has hair made of sunshine so
rare,
The elves tried to steal it to weave in the
weather;
Which made her afraid, the bonny wee maid,
To swing on the gate many minutes together
You never have seen her:' All, me- All, me !
What a cross, lazy lieabed you must be!
Goodnight is her neighbor dear little soul,
Who swings in hammock, and not on gate.
She half shuts her eyes with a great yawn, SO
droll,
II would make an owl laugh, will venture to
state.
Goodnight always brings the most wonderful
things,
To hide in the children's beds, glittering and
cleaning!
Such tales she can tell, and she tells them so
well.
You could listen all night, and believe you
were dreaming!
You never have heard her?' Oh me. Oh. me.
What small naughty wide-awake you must be!
Goodnight has house full of beautiful toys,
That she keeps for the ehildren-no grown
folks are there;
And she carries them off, the wee girlies and
boys,
To her magical palace, and, oh, how they
stare!
Good Night never frowns when she sees the
white gowns
Come trooping to beg for more stories-the
dcar!-
But with kisses and smiles, the time she be-
guiles,
And bids them to come again soon-do you
hear?
You 'never have been there?" All, me All, me .
What very sad, grown-up young chick you
must be!

MlLOEW OF GRAPES.
How to Prevent 1t by the Application OF
Reliable Mixtures.

Reliable Mixtures.
In many parts of the country the
grape crop has become very uncertain
because of the prevalence of mildew on
the green wood and foliage. and also
because of the rotting of the fruit. In
South Jersey nearly all the grapes have
been failure for two years. Partial
crops have been obtained at the Elvi-
rec Fruit Farm from the following out
of more than forty varieties. The Cot
tage, Wyoming Red and Pocklington,
these are nearly ''iron-clad." An acre
of Concords and Perkins yielded less
than a hundred pounds. Thanks are
due to Prof. c. V. Riley, of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture for his sue
cessful tests of remedies for this great
scourge.
Colonel A. w. Pierson, of Vineland,
n. j., has also m ade thorough tests of
the Bordeaux mixture, in connection
with tn e Department at Washington.
While the results are not uniformly de-
cisive, in prov ing this mixture effect
i've in the prevention of black rot, it
h as proved to be a certain remedy for
mildew of the leaf.
As it is necessary to apply the mix
ture early in the season, it may be
timely to now describe it:
The Bordeaux mixture, as recon-
mended by Colonel Pierson after many
successful tests, is made as follows:
Stake and dissolve four pounds of fresh
lime in two or three gallons of hot
water, and strain it, making milk of
lime. Dissolve six pounds of sulphate
of copper in three gallons of hot water,
mix the two solutions, and add water
to make twenty-five gallons. Stir the
mixture well before applyingas aspray
to the foliage and fruit. 1t is to be APP
piled to the entire vine about ten days
before the blossoms appear. and every
three weeks until the fruit begins to
color. Any kind of force pump is sutf1-
Gent. am using apump costing about
81, and the improved cyclone nozzle
which throws spray as fine as thick
fog. During a hot and wet period the
mildew may suddenly develop, but a
thorough application to fruit and fol-
iage at once destroy it.
For vineyards a larger force pump is
used and the mixture is thrown direct
from the barrels which are placed On q
wagon and driven through the field.
The same apparatus is used to throw
London purple on fruit trees.
The inexpensiveness of the mixture,
and the ease and speed of application,
commend this remedy 10 all growers o.
grapes whose vines suffer from mildew.

FARM AND FIRESIOE.

Where COWS must be driven long
distances to and from pasture. see thai
it is done gently and leisurely.
-Tincture of assatetida is said to
keep rabbits from attacking trees. IL
may be mixed up with clay ana water
and applied with brush.
To make a succ ess of peach grow
ing one should select elevated sites
and warm, sandy soils, or localities
near large bodies of water. In most
situations peach orchard should be
we'll cultivated. So advises a practical
horticulturist.
When the second crop Of clover is
cut place it aside for the use of the pigs
and poultry next winter. 1t is chopped
fine. scal6ed, sprinkled with ground
grain and fed literally. 1t will save
food, and both pigs and poultry will
thrive on it.
Any plant is a weed that is not de-
sired. Two plants of the same kind
should never occupy the space that
should be allowed to one only, as it is
their nature to struggle for the same
kind of food and for supremacy. II
the plants are too thick some of them
should be removed as weeds. The soil
should not support more than it can
feed properly.
The hens should be kept at very
small cost in summer. Instead of feeds
ing grain give the hens chopped grass.
Cut it up fine, give them a trough full,
and they will need nothing else if they
are in good condition. Clover is ex-
cellent, and the hens will eat quite a
large quantity in day. The finely
chopped grass is also an elegant food
for young chicks.
-"Ambrosia' is made by cutting
oranges in slices and covering the
bottom of fruit dish with them. Sift
granulated sugar upon them, and then
sprinkle layer of dessicated cocoanut
over them. Then add another layer
of oranges, more sugar and cocoanut
till the dish is full, having layer of
cocoanut on top. 1t should stand sew
eral hours before serving, as sugar eX-
tracts the juice of the orange.
The man who waits until the calves
becomes cows before taking any special
care of them loses the best period for
improving them. 1t is by the care
which the calf receive s that the size.
vigor, time of maturity and degree of
productiveness of the animal are very
largely determined. When the calf
has become COW the formative period
has very largely gone by.-American
Dairyman.
For removing spots OF grease from
boards, take equal parts of fuller's
earth and pearl ash, a quarter of a
pound of each, and boil in a quart of
soft water and while hot lay it on the
CREASED parts, allowing it to remain on
them ten or twelve hours, after which
it may be secured off with sand and
water. A floor much spotted with
grease should be completely washed
over with this mixture the day before
it is secured. Fuller's earth and
oxgalls, boiled together, forms very
powerful cleansing mixture for floors
or carpets. Stains of ink are removed
by strong vinegar, or salts of lemon
will remove them.
