Of It they paid to the county. 1t has
never been contended that the ex-col-
lectors pocketcd the entire amount

eompare1 the records with the delin-
quent lists returned by the ex-collect-
ors. By this they found that the ex-
collectors had honestly accounted for
some OF the money paid by not return
ing all as delinquents. This done tho
committees finds that Mr.. Mckee owes
the county $780,. 05 and Mr.. Dougherty

tanned this amount due the county the
committee Is prepared to carry out
the latter part OF the Instructions con-

teraction in the Superior Court to pre-
vent them from making the collect

ors
The clamor raised for the produc-
ton OF the tax receipts as the only
legal proof that the taxes claimed
were paid Is effeminats and puerile
and has never been insisted upon
with an honest intent. The Demo-
Gratis knew that a large number of the
receipts had been used and could not
be called in. The Republicans did,
however, go SO far as to exhibit q
sufficient number OF receipts TO show
that what they had were genuine and
that there was no disposition to act
otherwise than In an honest manner.
Still the senseless cry goes on, SHOW
US the receipts" simply because the
Democrats know that they cannot be
shown. Well, let the matter be take II
into the courts. as the Every Evening
demands. The Republicans arc
ready, and not particle cared.

DR.. johnson and-another gentleman had
a dispute, upon which Miss Streatfeld,
who was present. began TO cry.
We'll" said a bystander, Il have heard
so much of those tears that l would have
given the universe 10 have a sight of
them"
oh put in Mrs. TLrale, "she shall cry
again if you like"
''Oh, pray do said the gentleman; ''Iet
me see little more OF it,"
Yes, DO cry little, Sophy"' said Mrs
Thrale in a wheedling voice. Pray, do.
Consider now, you are going today, and
it's very hard if you won't cry little. In
deed, Sophy, you ought to cry"
Now for the wonder of wonders! When
Mrs. Thrale, in the coaxing voice of a
nurse soothing a baby, had run on for
some time, two crystal tears came into
Sophy's eyes and rolled gently down her
cheeks. She did not offer to conceal them,
and, indeed, she was smiling all the time

A Handsome Sweet Dish.

Peel some nice oranges, removing as
much Of the white pith as you can, and d.
vide them into their natural quarters.
Wipe quite dry in a clean cloth, then with
a needle and thread make loDgish loop
through the white part in the middle of
each quarter. Slip these loops five or six
at time on 20 skewers, so that the orange
quarters hang free without touching one
another. Now boil some sugar and water
lone pound of sugar to a good tumbler Of
water to a strip, skimming it carefully.
When a drop of this, lifted out on the
point of knife and dropped into cold
water, will snap off short between one
fingers, lift in both hands one Of the skew
ers and dip the orange in and out of the
strip, then put aside the skewer, support
ing both ends so that the fruit hangs clear,
and let it set. Repeat this process very
quickly till the fruit is all done. When
the quarters are cold the strip should be
like coating of thin ice. Now oil plain
mold, and arrange the orange all round it
in rows, each quarter overlapping the next
one, each alternate row going the opposite
way to the previous one, fixing the fruit
with little more strip. Set the mold on
ice or in cool place till hard; then slip a
knife round the mold to loosen the orange,
turn it on a dish and fill up the center with
whipped cream.

Tasteful Corner ARRANGEMENTS,

Corner decoration may be somewhat
of fad just now, but it is certainly a com
mendable one. In the corners of a room
one may give dainty touches and exercise
an artistic perception which shall render it
homehke, CHEEKY and inviting. Nothing
is so ugly and stiff looking as bare
corner.
Many pretty corner furnishings are being
constantly devised. Unusually attractive
among these are the following, suggested
and illustrated by Good Housekeeping;
Since it is no longer the custom to keep
ones china il a closet, a corner is just the
place for cabinet, where the various pieces
may be displayed. Its shelves should be
lined with heavy Indian red paper, color
which sets off china TO the best advantage,
and pretty silken curtains, hung on a slen-
der brass rod, would add 70 the effect.

ATTRACTIVE FURNITURE.

Novelties in Mirrors, Dressing Tables.
Bedsteads, Etc.
Novelties in dressing tables have an in.
genious arrangement of mirrors. The
main glass is ianked by two hinged wings
glasses so much in use. The best of them
are made in Pollard oak with beveled
French plate mirrors.
Some Of the prettiest English dressing
tables are made of curly walnut, a drab
wood with little curls in the grain re-
sembling the grain of birds eye maple A
large dressing, table of white maple
mounted with brass costs $50 upward.
This white maple is a beautiful wood for
bedroom sets.
The newest library tables are massive
affairs of oak and mahogany. They are
curved in the kidney form popularity at
tributed to Chippendale, but in reality
Sheraton shape. There is a succession of
drawers on either side of the table, and it
is supported on short spindle legs beneath
the drawers.
The old fashioned four poster bedsteads
offer such allurements to the decorator
that they are largely sought. Sets of carved
mahogany posts are 50 scarce that they are
being reproduced. Some of the new sets
of unstained mahogany have tall, four
posted bedsteads. Single antique posts in
carved mahogany are successfully utilized
for hall trees, being supplied with brass or
mahogany pegs
Hall trees are much used in bedrooms
for receiving the clothing laid off at bed
time, according to The Decorator and Fur
nisher, from which the foregoing notes are
cleaned
