The Real Issue,
Inc Neui issue.
From tho philadalnhia Times Dan1

With Tammany making the fight solely
for Tammany there will be no confusion
in the minds of the voters. Those who
want Tammany rule perpetuated with all
that II implies, of police corruption, bru-
tality and blackmail, will vote for Grant,
and all who want change from this sort
of misgovernment must vote the ticket OF
the committee of seventy, headed by
Strong and Goff. The patriotism, charac-
ter, business integrity, morality and social
decency of New York are now engaged In
life and death conflict with its selfish,
corrupt and criminal elements, and all
civilization is an interested spectator of
this battle.

this they can do with easy conscience, for
they will simply be following out Mr..

lost GA, 900 head of cattle; and here,
as we'll as in Ekaterinoslav. the COM
pulsory destruction order gave rise to
rioting. The cattle slaughtered are
paid for but this does not compensate
the peasants whom the order has de.
prived of their beasts of burden, and
who cannot replace them, because all
traffic in cattle is forbidden. 1t seems,
however, that the strict measures
which the authorities enforce have
stamped out the disease in many other

CEIELY.

Very few people think of serving
celery save in the natural state, but
celery should be served in other
forms. From the stalks and leaves,
which are not dcs 'rablc for serving
raw, cream of celery soup may be
prepared. Any cook book will give
directions, though it will not say IL
may be made from these pieces; but
it can, rs experience has taught me.
Celery in cream sauce as directed
for cabbage. is dish fit for an epi-
cure. Prepare it in the same way.
Scalloped celery is also very good.
Put layer in shallow baking dish
and cover with cream sauce. Sprinkle

A Remarkable Pony.

Mr.. John G. Krnntz is the owner Of
Western pony in which he takes a
great deal of pride The horse is
named Eick, and is one of those pieces
of horsehesh which seem to have al
most n human understanding. Dick
is small enough to go through the
small door cut in the stable door which
is intended for the entrance OF man.
He prefers to enter by the smaller
door, and sometimes tries to take the
carriage to which he is harnessed in
with him. This, il is needless to say,
results in failure. He considers him.
self above the common herd, and with
good reasen.
He will not have his harness put on
in the stable, but must be taken in the
Office for that purpose. He then con-
sents to be led out to be hitched to
the carriage. Dick is very fond of
cream peppermint drops; the ordinary
lozengers he will not touch. In order
to get these, Mt the end of each drive
he is taken to one of Mr.. Krantz's
stores. His driver then goes inside
for the candies. If he wishes to do so
Dick will calmly walk across the pave
ment and enter the door, much to the
amusement of the onlookers and the
edification of the children. The sweet
meats are given to the animal and he
backs out.
He always gazes after his master
with look of inquiry in his eyes and
puts his forefeet on the pavement
when Mr.. Krantz leaves the carriage.
Mr.. Krantz thinks his pet can be
sought to do almost anything, and if
he had the time would try to educate
Dick himself The horse is very fond
of his master and on all occasions
shows this affectian. There is nothing
too good for Dick, and he evidently
deserves it. Baltimore American.

The Fighting TailOrs.

The Fifteenth Light Dragons,
whose brilliant feat of arms at Viii
liers- Couche was commemorated in
the Pail Mall Gazette, had very sim
gular and, indeed, for n British cav
airy regiment, probably unique ori-
gin. When in 1859 it was decided to
raise certain corps on the model Of
the Prussian hussars, Lieutenant Col
onel Elliott, of the Second Horse
Grenadier Guards, A. ID. C.-to be
famous, later on, as the "Old Cock OF
the Rock, ;" and Lord Heathfield-was
one of the officers selected for this
service. The London tailors were on
strike at the time, and, with disre-
gard of prejudice which was amply
justified by the result, the colonel en-
listed whole regiment of them, which
was known as the First Light Horse.
On March 10 he was gazetted to the
command of it, On August it was
at Minden, and every individual tailor
in the ranks approved himself horse
man and man. As the head OF the
First Light Horse, its colonel was
thanked again and again by Prince
Ferdinand for its services, and when,
at the conclusion of the war, the regi-
ment was reviewed by George III. in
Hyde Park, the king was pleased to
ask what he could do to mark his sense
of its discipline and efficiency. Elliott
naturally begged that the First Light
Horse might be made "royal." In
consequence it became the Fifteenth
or Kings Own Light Dragons, and

A pessimist is ono who is happy only

Things done simply from sense of

Common sense is simply the sense

Every burden of responsibility

compensation.
Cast your bread upon the waters,
but do not wait until it is too stale
for your own use.
They who cannot grow happy in
witnessing the happiness of another
are morally unsound.
No man has so many faults as his
enemies declare, nor so many virtues
as his admirers claim.
The man who is blessed with a good
wife can meet with no irreparable loss
save the loss of her affection.
Occasional solitude is as necessary
to the symmetrical development of the
soul as is sunshine to the flowers.
He who is once enshrined in the
heart of child may be sure of n friend

TO MAKE SMALL PICKLES.

To make small pickles cooking
school recipe is as follows: Take 100
very small cucumbers, wash and wipe
carefully and put in stone jar with
water enough TO cover them. Add
salt enough to make n brine in which
an egg will float. Let them lie in this
twenty-four hours, when they are
ready to be taken out, wiped and put
in clean jars: Take enough vinegar to
just cover the cucumbers, add slice
- onion dozen cloves, an ounce of
mustard seed, three blades of mace,
and cupful of grated horseradish.
Heat to the steaming point in a gran
ite settle and pour over the pickles.
These should keep crisp and firm all
winter.
The caution is added that metal
utensils should not be used in making
pickles. The spoon used in handling
or stirring them should be of wood.

Plums as Olives.

In spite of the steady increase Of
olive orchards in California the de.
mand is so far greater than the supply
that great quantities of plums are used
in their place. The plums are bought
green, sold to the large packing
houses of the country and appear on
the table as the best imported olives.
They are now of the right size for
treatment as French or Italian olives,
