MINCE PIE RECIPES.
How They Make 1t in Yanl<ee-Land and
Also in Old Ireland.

The following is recipe for mince pie
mixture, made after the fashion of the
danes of old New England: Get six
pounds of juicy beef, boil and chop fine.
1t must be borne in mind that the meat
in boiling loses about half it's weight, so
for three pounds after it is chopped fine
and cleared of gristle double the guam
tity must be boiled, the liquor making
good stock. Chop fine two pounds of
beef suet, six pounds of tart apples,
peeled and cored, seed two pounds of
raisins and wash thoroughly two pounds
of currants, cut one-half pound of citron
in thin strips and mix all these ingredi-
ents together with one tablespoonful o,
salt, ground cloves, allSpice and CHINA
mon each one ounce, and mace and nut
meg each one-half ounce. Put three
quarts of cider over the fire with three
pounds of Csugar; skim and pour boiling
hot through fine strainer over the
mixed material; add one large cup of
New Orleans molaSses and the juice and
grated rind of one lemon. Stir well and
pack in air-tight jars.
And here is an Irish recipe, which,
however, is not for dyspeptics: Keep a
beef's tongue in water four or five days;
boil till TENDER when cold chop fine, add
two pounds of finely chopped suet, two
pounds of raisins, two pounds of currants,
twelve largo apples minced fine, four
pounds of sugar, the juice ans pulp of
two large oranges and the grated rind
of one: cupful of raspberry or straw
berry jam, three fourths of pound of
citron shaved fine, one cupful of ounce
preserves, two tablespoonfuls of CHINA
mon and one of nutmeg. Mix the mince-
meat with the sirup from the sweet
pickle jar, and the juice and grated rind

Killing Rats by Electricity.

Victor Poissant, a young electrician of
Omaha, has a very ingenious way of
killing rats. As he has been practicing
this method ofclectrocution at intervals
for the past three years he may be fairly
credited with having anticipated the
New York scientists who are now puz-
zling themselves and the rest of man
kind as to the propriety Of sending Mr..
Kemmler out of the world by the
overhead wire system. The prying
rodent is caught in an ordinary oval
trap, the bottom of which is covered
with tin. Mr.. Poissant has small
dynamo of his own manufacture. One
wire, connected with the dynamo. is
fastened to the lining of the trap, and
another is thrust into the prisoners
cell. The well-known propensity of a
Gagged rat to do battle asserts itself, and
he seizes the wire between his teeth. In
doing so makes the mistake of his life.
The circuit is completed, his jaws close
on the wire with death grip, and with
out a squak and almost without culver
he passes into state of eternal de-
etude.-Chicago Herald.

How Bucoda Got Its Name.

Bucoda is the name of town in Wash
ington. The origin of its name is of a
somewhat curious nature. However, it
arises from civilized sources. 1t may
puzzle some of the commentators when
they endeavor to search for its origin.
You might search all the foreign lam
guages in the world, and still not be able
to discover it: This is how it was chris
tened: There were three great railroad
men in that portion of the country where
the town is now, and their names were
Buckley, Coulter and Davis. Each of
Them wished the town to be named after
himself. But they could not come to an
agreement, and finally, as compromise,
the two first letters from each name
we're taken and placed together, and
thereby originated Bu-co-da. - Salem

Tie Globe Democrat, enc Of The
most rabid Republican papers in the
country, cherishes the hope that the
Farmers Alliance will ca;fse the
breaking up Of The solid South. Hear
it:
"The Farmers Alliance is doing IL
good work by nominating candidates
for State officers and Congress in va
riOus parts of the South in opposition
to the BOurbons. Probably the Al
lance will not win any important
offices, but it will start the forces of
disintegration in the Democratic par.
ty in that region, which will eventual
BY bring a few of tire States over to
the Republicans"
In the above the wish is no doubt
father to the Thought, and shows how
anxious the Republicans are to see
the Alliance used for the destruction
of the Democratic party.

Messrs Isaac C. Smith and Others:
GENTLEMEN-I am in receipt of your
letter requesting me to become can
didate to represent you in the APP
preaching Constitutional Convention.
1t is true, as suggested, that the
convention will hold it's session dur
ing my summer vacation, but it is
also true that the coarts of this dis
trict will continue to be held from
this time uutil within few days OF
the election for delegates.
Under these circumstances you will
note, that | can make no canvass OF
the county, and that | will be at a
great disadvantage if contest is
likely to be made against the nOmi-
nee of the convention. 1t is proper
that you should consider this before
you submit my name to the voters at
the primary election.
The emergency is too great for the
indulgence of personal vanity by any
thoughtful man. Certainly | do not
cOvet the place, or the Tabor and re-
sponsibility which think an election
would bring to me.
In conclusion, however, | have this
to say: while distrust my ability to
serve you as you deserve and ought
to be served in this grave crisis of our
States history, leave the matter of
my candidacy to- your better judg-
ment and will accept the nomination
if rendered. j. b. CHRISTIAN.

Edtt@ Brookhaven Leader:
Through the kindness of Mr.. Par

sues of the LEADER, and assure you
they were more than welcome visit
Ors. ! note with surprise and regret
the failure of the Alliance house. At
the same time, | feel greater con-
Germ about the action some of our
sub Alliance are taking in trying to
dictate who shall hold office in our
county. Let the Alliance once enter
the political field as an organization
then farewell to its future usefulness.
| love the principles of the Alliance,
and firmly believe if the original in
tentions of the order are adhered to,
much good will be accomplished.
l notice with pleasure here in
Georgia the harmony that exists be-
tween Alliance men and other voca-
tions. Instead of antagonism there
seems to be a pulling together for
the good of all classes, and by uni
ted effort the people of Georgia are
accomplishing wonders. Railroads
are building in every direction, Fac
tories springing up in every part of
the State. 1t appears to me that every
one is striving to see how much good
can be done not only by united, but
by individual effort. know farmers
should take an active interest in the
selection of competent officers, but
let them do so as individuals, and not
besmirch the Alliance by dragging it
as a body into politics. A few more
patriotic men like DR.. Conerly are
sadly needed in our ranks. There
certainly can be no objection on the
part of any reasonable man to send
ing such men as Judge Chrisman, H.
Cassidy and DR.. Applewhite as dele
gates to the constitutional conven-
ton, and am satisfied more can and
will be done for the interest of the
farmers by united Democracy than
the Alliance will ever be able to ac-
complish by arraying themselves
against other callngs.

portunity of voting in the ensuing

on the fist of nominees to represent

the subject, find that I am not quail

tions, and therefore decline the nomf-
nation.
