There are water melon rinds enough
wasting to supply many families with
most delicious sweet pickles or preserves
for the winter. The rind should be cut
off before serving the melon on the table,
then pare and put in brine over night.
Then pour boiling vinegar over it well
spiced and to every seven pounds of fruit
add three pounds of brown sugar. One
melon, medium size, will make three
quarts of pickles. These are delicious
pickles for supper during the winter, and
more healthful and digestable than Gu
cumbers, and decidedly cheaper than
peaches.

Plums are plenty, and none should be
allowed to spoil. Fill a porcelain kettle
with plums, cover with water, let them
come to n boil, but do not let them get
smashed, Dip these out. In this same
water let another quantity of plums come
to a boil, skim out the phlms and take the
juice and add pint of white sugar to
each pint of juice, and one can have very
nice jelly. Put the plums taken out
through coarse seive and add a pint of
brown sugar to a pint and half of this

As We have taken exception TO some
portions of the Presidents Mosaic, we
are free to admit that in his Ex cellency' s
remarks upon the revenue reform we
heartily coincide, and only hope that
they may be speedily and effectively acted
upon by Congress, and that much Of the
present cumbrous system Of the Internal
Revenue Department may be done away
with. The reforms suggested may have
to be worked out gradually, but we see
no obstacle in the way Of at once repeal
ing the obnoxious and oppressive income
tax. We have long maintained that the
tax itself is not only unjust and odious,
but positively unconstitutional. When
this burden was first foisted upon the
PEOPLE, solemn pledge was given that it
should not be continued after the year
1869, and the government were just as
much in honor and honesty bound to keep
this pledge as they we're their engage.
ment that the bonds Of the United States
should be exempt from taxation. 1t was
positively asserted at the time this odio.
US tax was levied that it was only to
meet urgent temporary necessities Of the
government; yet although this end has
been fully accomplished, and in defiance
of the solemn compact entered into. Con
gress last year deliberately and dc6antly
enacted law for continuance Of this
tax.


1t is therefore to be hoped that the
present Congress, by taxing speedy action
on this part Of the Presidents message,
will make good the past violation Of
good faith-wi.hout. delay abolish the
income tax-and before the close Of the
session entirely remodel the machinery Of

The KEYNOTE. There is but one SEN
timent in the Democratic party, from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the St.
Lawrence to the Rio Grande, touching the
so-called Fifteenth Amendment, and that
Is, that il is no amendment at all, but ut
terly void and of no effect, rightfully and
constitutionally, in law. 1t may be en-
forced. for brief time, by usurping and
despiscd Congress, but it cannot stand.
ExPUNGH is the word-the key-note-of
the Democracy, through the length and
breadth of the land. But that would be
revolutionary, exclaims some Republican.
No Republican should raise an objection
like this, since the course of that party has
been marked by revolution for the last
decade. Besides, it is the rightful resort
of freemen, when all other means have
failed. That pretended amendment may
as readily be expunged, as the resolution
censuring Gen. jackson, which passed
Congress in 1884, and was wiped out in
1887. Nor do we believe that it will take
longer time to do it. Popular sentiment
will array itself against it, and the over.
throw of the party in power is the mos
probable event in the immediate future


The Democrats and Conservatives O
White Clay Creek Hundred, whose reso.
lutions appear in another column, hav,
struck the keynote in relation to this pre-
tended amendment, and "expunge' is tn
word. The Democracy of Connection

the so called 18th amendment is no amendmer
but radical change of the Constitution, strikin
at the principle of State Rights, which lies at tb
base OF the compact formed by the various STATE

This remarkable sentence, uttered by
the Secretary of State to the British Min
lister at Washington, during the Southern
rebellion, will go down through succeed
ing ages, coupling his name with the des-
potism practiced by the government dur
ing the "irrepressible conflict which he
foretold, and which he probably did as
much as any one else to bring about. The
practice of arbitrary arrests without legal
process, which it illustrates, was foul blot
upon our country's escutcheon, and ever
links his name with infamy. No British
monarch could do the like without putting
the throne in jeopardy. Here, the peo-
pie, feeling their stake in the government,

Opium eating is one of those private vices
which, because it does not intrude itself
upon the public, attracts little attention.
Those who have read DeQuincsy under
stand the evil effects of the terrible prac-
tice, and those who have not, can refer to
that work for full details of its demoraliz-
ing influence upon both brain and body
Many persons suppose it is only the Turks
and Chinese who use the drug, but they are
mistaken. as large number of persons in
this country and this city, are slaves of
opium.


1t is taken in various forms and quanti-
ties. Some persons use it until it becomes
a necessity of their natures. Their appe-
tite Graves for it, and they long for the
unnatural, dreamy, intoxicating sensation
it produces. They become its victims, and
it holds onto them with the grip of wise.
Ordinary laudanum or morphia, taken in
ternally, was the usual mode of indulging
this vice. But that grew too expensive.
When a man became so bad that dose of
sixty grains was his daily allowance, it was
too costly, for opium eaters are shiftless
and worthless set, and but few of them
could afford to pay from 81 rs to 81 day
to crafty their abnormal appetites. A new
and cheaper mode of producing the same
result was demanded, and science pointed
it out


This consists in inoculating the system
with the poison. A pint of Morphia is
mixed with two hundred and twenty-nine
pints of water to make up the decoction.
A small syringe, with fine glass nozzle,
is filed with the mixture, and the sharp
point of the syringe being inserted in one
of the veins of the body, generally in the
arm or one of the veins of the neck, the
stuff is injected. This is cheap but dam
gerous operation. 1t costs but ten cents a
day to those who survive it, and who do
not furnish a job TO the undertaken and
grave digger, which costs their friends
something. 1t requires skilled and prac-
tieed hand to use opium in this way. A
greenhorn attempting it would probably
result in a fresh corpse, and serve him
right.


Druggists, who sell much opium, in all
its forms, state that the practice of using
it as stimulsnt is fearfully prevalent, and
is becoming more and more general. OF
all forms OF dissipation, it is the most
dreadful and ruinous, and the confirmed
drunkard is decent beside the confirmed
opium-eater, and has twice his manhood.

Pious OIfactories and Perfumed The


OlOgy.


In a recent number of the Independent
the Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, of Brooklyn,
has the following utterance on the subject
of "Smells:"


I have a good Christian friend who, if he
sat In the front pew in the church, and a
working man should enter the door at the
other end, would smell him instantly. My
friend is not to blame for the sensitiyeness
of his nose, any more than you would fog
a pointer for being keener on the scent
than stupid watch dog. The fact is, If
YOU had all the churches free, by reason OF
the mixing up of the common people with
the uncommon, you would keep one-halt
of Christendom sick at their stomach. II
you are going to kill the church with bad
smells, will have nothing to do with this
work of evangelization.


We have reason TO believe that there viii
be laboring men in heaven; and also a
number of negroes, and EsqHimaux, and
Terra del Fuegans, and Arabs, and few
Indians, and possibly even some Spaniards
and Portuguese. All things are possible
with God. We shall have all these sorts of
people in heaven; but, alas in getting
them we shall lose the society of DIR. Tai
mage. Which is to say, we shall lose the
company of one who could give more real
''tone" to celestial society than any other
contribution Brooklyn could furnish. And
what would eternal happiness be without
the Doctor? Blissful, unquestionably-
we know that well enough--but would it
be diStingae, would it be recherche without
him? st. Matthew without stockings
or sandals st. Jerome bareheaded,


n la,nl-
robe dragging the ground; st. Sebastian
with scarcely any raiment at all-these we
should see, and we should enjoy seeing
them; but would we not miss spike-tailed
coat and kids, and turn away regretfully,
and say to parties from the Orient: ''These
are well enough, but you ought to see Tai
mage of Brooklyn" 1 fear me that IN the
better world we shall not even have DIR.
Talmage's ''good Christian friend" For
if he were sitting under the glory of the
Throne, and the keeper of the keys admit
ted Benjamin Franklin or other laboring
man, that 'sfriend," with his fine natural
powers infinitely augmented by emancipa-
ton from hampering flesh, would detect
him with single sniff, and Immediately
take his hat and ask to be excused.


If the subject of these remarks had been
chosen among the original Twelve Apostles,
he could not have associated with the rest,
because he could not have stood the fshy
smell of some of his comrades who came
from around the Sea of Galilee. BE would
have resigned his commission with such a
remark as he makes in the extract quoted
above: s'Master, if thou art going to kill
the church thus with bad smells. will
have nothing to do with this work of evan
gelization." He is deciple, and makes that
remark to the Master; fhe only difference is,
that he makes it in the nineteenth instead
of the first century.


Now, can it be possible that IN hand
ful of centuries the Christian character has
fallen away IRON an imposing heroism that
seorned even the stake, the cross and the
axe, to poor little effeminacy that withers

l. Be always telling, from her earliest
childhood, what beautiful creature she is.
1t is a capital way of initiating the vanity of
little girl, to be constantly exclaiming:
Chow prettyr' Children understand such
lattery even when in the nurses arms, and
the evil is done to the character in its earl
lest formation.


2. Begin as soon as she can toddle, to
dress her out in fashionable clothes and
rich dresses. Put hoop upon her at once,
with all the artificial adornments of fiounces
and feathers, and flowers and curls. Fond
ness for dress will thus become prominent

attention of the ynnng mortal, and be a
long step toward spelling her.

the necessity and virtue of being of some
real use to somebody pervading her heart,
and she will soon be ready as a spoiled
daughter.
5. As a consequence, keep her in pro-
found ignorance of all the useful arts OF
housekeeping, impressing upon her mind
that it is vulgar to do anything for yourself.
or learn how anything is done. A spoiled
daughter should never be taught the mys-
teries of the kitchen; such things lady
ALWAYS leaves to her servants. 1t would be
"yulgar" for her to know how to dress a
salad or make pudding.

spoiled daughter, marry her to bearded
