How TO KEEP Your WINTER APPLES
The following excellent suggestions are offer
ed by the Vermont Farmer:


The way that most farmers save their win
ter apples is to hole them up, like potatoes,
or pile them up in a cave or cellar. BY this
method you not only lose much valuable
time, but lose very many apples; and what
you do keep over winter are IN bad condi-
ton. Apples may be kept in barrels that are
quite open; but the best and cheapest way is
TO keep them in Gratis or boxes made in the
following manner: The ends or headpieces
should be ten or gelye inches wide by fifteen
to eighteen long. They can be sawed orsplit.
Nail your boards all the same length-about
three feet.


When you gather your apples from the
trees, put them in these boxes (be careful not
to bruise them) and lay the boxes on each
other in your apple b use. Two men will
handle these boxes with ease. You can look
your apples over in these boxes at any time
with but little labor. When you are ready to
ship, just nail board over the top and you
are ready. In this way you get your apples
to market in good condition and handle them
but once. Keep your house as cold as posi-
bic without freezing.

THE NEW WAY OF WEARING THE HAIR.
-Parisan ladies retain the high puffs and
braids on top of the head, with the back hair
unrelieved by plaits or tresses, but this style
is unbecoming to the slender faces of Ameri-
can women. hence the desire here toreturn
to lower coiffures. The new caprice for day
wear is to have a single narrow chatelaine
braid down the back Of the head, with two
or three soft pulfs on top and crown braid
in front. The back hair is still combed up
from the nape Of the neck, but its bare look
is taken oway by the chatelaine braid. Thick
ropes made of two tresses of hair twisted to-
gether are even newer than plaits for the
crown and chatelaine. The part above the
forehead is shown, and the front hair, in long
ripping waves, natural and careless looking,
is laid smoothly and low on the temples, in
stead of being drawn backward and covered
up With frizzles and fringe. Smooth hair IS
once more in fashion, though ladies destroy


the beauty of the new arrangement by pas


ing the waves fatty with pomade or panuu ,,

There is really growing to be some
thing which may be strictly called So
ciety in America. We are discovering
that society does not mean a collection
OF rich people, whose possessions permit
to them any sort of extravaganza, but
that it means all sorts of people those
who have much money, and those who
have little; those who are clever and
those who are dull; those whose man.
sions hold hundreds, and those whoes
parlors are crowded with fifty. And NE
last is the most important discovery.
The left-out feeling that many persons
OF moderate means have had is passing
away. They find they can take a
graceful part in social life without too
great an outlay Of time and money !;
and they embrace the2opportunity with
cordiality. Society must always be 80
different in this country from what it
is anywhere else, that no comparison
is possible. But it cannot fail to have a
freedom d and variety very attractive

And brave your own way through.

To the Editor of The Dallas Herald:


1t is said Radical, named Evans,
in his speech on Wednesday night, af-
ter the Radical Convention had adj
iourned sine die, pitched heavily into
Colonel Burford and John Henry
Brown, charging the latter with being
the prime mover Of secession in lsGO-6l,
and many other things. Just so! OF
course, the great uprising of the peo-
pie of Texas, of all parties, at the time
referred to. was the work Of one man!
This Evans may be ignoramus enough
to think Brown caused that mighty
union of hearts, without aparallel in his
tory; but Brown is not such asimpltton
as to believe anything of the sort. He
thinks he was IL very humble worker
in the ranks of the people


This man Evans, from Waco, is n
mighty man! A fire-eater in Missis-
sippi, shirker in Texas, the grease
from his body still sticks to the pillar
he slid down in the dead hours of
the night to escape from his guard in
Waco.


Elected to the Senate on the Jack
Hamilton ticket in 1869, he was kicked
out of his seat by the Davis Radicals,
and the place given to a man who was
said to have remarkable affinity for
other peoples stock. Finding the
Davis party in power, he sneaked back
into their ranks in order (as everybody
belieyed) to get the appointment OF
United States District Attorney, and
was duly rewarded.


Like most others of Iis class, regard
less of truth and decency, he delights
to assail Brown simply because they
think he is largely the cause of the
election being brought Oh this fall-a
year sooner than the Radicals wanted
it. But they do not tell people that,
in order to effect this and free the pee
pie year sooner of Radicalism, Brown
and his friends voted themselves out
of Office year before the time they
were elected for according to Radical
count, Oh, no! That would he hon
est. Deception is bis game and the
game of his party. Seeing that Brown
is likely to be nominated for Lieuten-
ant Governor by acclamation from the
Democracy all over the States, makes
them feel bad in the stomach.

THE DELAWARE COLLEGE BTLL-AN ExPLANA-


TIoN.


To he Editor Of ihs Commercial


The purport and object of this bill have been
both mistaken and misrepresented.


1t is not bill for the private emolument of
the trustees, as soma suppose, but one in
the interest of the College. The difficulty now
and heretofore, is that trustees, who live Rt
a distance, with two or three exceptions, will
not attend. They should resign, and let others
take their places, say some. This il just what has
been taking place, all along; but it is found
that those that come in last do exactly as their
predecessors, and the result is that the lower
part of the State ID not represented. 1t has
been tried nearly through two administrations,
and with the same result. 1t is believed that
not more than half OF those appointed have ap-
pointed have ey er acted, and some Of those who
have. have only appeared at the meetings Of
the Board once or twice. Hence it is that
neither the interests of the College nor tine
State are represented as they should be.


And no Just exception can he taken to the
| gentlemen appointed. They have have been
men of the highest character for intelligence
| and good standing, but it seem that they are not
| willing to leave their own vocations. for two
three Gays at a time. and pay their own expenses
besides, to attend other peoples interests And il
| it just or reasonable they should This state
| of things has been observed and regretted, for
years, and it finally thought advisable to ask
the Legislature to provide by law for paying
her own officers enough to defray their expenses
while necessarily engaged in the public business
This was regarded az a simple act.of justice. But
apart from this, it was thought that .
full attendance would be procured, and
the general interest of the College
promoted by ensting wider and more active
corporation throughout the State, among the
friends of Education. The bill habits origin witt
those who have given both time and money free
Iy'to advance the interest of the College, and wht
have never been absent and do not intend to be

How the Verdict Against the Pica-


yune Was Obtained.


a correspondent at New Orleans thus
describes the scene in the Jury room;


The case was given to the jury on FRI
day. and at 6 o'clock Friday evening, the
jury came into court and said it was i'm
possible for them to agree. The Jury
were then locked up in hot, close, sui
try room, IN this tropical climate, the
whole of Friday night, without sleep and
without rest, for they had no bars to pro-
tect them against the swarms OF ravenous
mosquitoes that are to be found about
the Court buildings. On Saturday morn
ing the Jury stood as it did the previous
evening, and Judge Lynch sent them
word that he intended to confne them
until they did agree. The Jury after be-
ing locked up all day Saturday, was
brought into the Court room at o'clock,
when two OF the jury told Judge HaW-
kins, that it was impossible for them to
agree. They were then In an insulting
manner, ordered back to the close sultry
room, and told if they did not agree by
o'clock that evening they should re-
main imprisoned until they did agree.
Before the hour Of 9 O'Clock Saturday ev-
ening came, the only two Democratic
members OF the Jury were paid certain
sum Of money, and promised much lar
ger sum if they would agree with the
majority. Thinking that this would be a
sufficient cause to invahdate their verdict,
and wishing to get out of prison and away
from the heat and mosquitoes, they con-
sented TO a verdict. intending TO tell the
Judge all about it. When the hour of 9
o'clock Saturday night arrived everybody
was surprised to hear the jury had agreed.
When the verdict was announced these
two JHrymen wanted to explain, but
Judge Lynch, IN a most rude and inso-
lent manner. stopped them, and ordered
the gas to be put out. These Jurors hav-
ing no other alternative, have since made
afhdavits that they were bribed, and that
they only consented to the verdict to get
rid of tie torture of the mosquitoes, the
heat, and the confinement. 1t was un-
der these circumstances thatJ acob Hawk
ins got verdict against The Pieagntne
for SIS, 900.

How still the morning of the hallow-
ed day The bubbling brook murmur
ed more gently down the deep,worn
glen the plow-boy's whistle and the
milk-maid's song are unheald; the
scythe lies glittering on the dewy grass;
the voice of birds sounds mellower from
the dale as they warble Their heaven,
tuned songs. How many hymns and
psalms are sung on this holy morning.
Thrice welcomed is the Sabbath by the
poor man, for he then enjoys his frugal
meal with those he loves on the other
days he is doomed to eat his Joyless
bread alone.


Hail Sabbath Thee / hail, the poor
mans day AS he wandered slowly by
the river side, ,mcditating on Him whose
goodness he sees in every thing, from
the proud, stately tree to the smallest,
tenderest flower, he wonders and hopes,
yet fears presumption in the hope that
Heaven may be ore Sabbath without
end. But suddenly his thoughts, as
well as his steps arc checked, for sweet
sounds reach his ear lie imagines they
descended from Heaven, all nature is so
calm and peaceful. But no, they come
from wonder little church where the or
gan breathes its distinct notes, the peo-
pie in softer harmony joining. The
aged, the blind, the rich and the poor,
even the young and thoughtless boy, all
gathered in that little church, and with
bowed heads await to hear the name OF
God, and most reverentially the holy
prayer


The pale cheek of the laborer is not
flushed with embarrassment as the robe
of plenty sweeps past. No! for in the
church of God, the maid and mistress,
the rich, the poor are alike only pu-
rer conscience can eXalt one person
above another in the sight Of our Sa,
viour. How blessed is the influence OF
ahe Sabbath On this day we recall
the memory that there is home await
ing us holy, happy, heavenly home
where we will again meet with those
whom we have fondly loved and been
parted from on this earth. How sooth-
ing and consoling this solemn hope:


"Sweet and mellow Is the Ginning


Ofthe Sabbath morning bell


Angels come on earth to linger,


While OF Jesus love they tell.


Sabbath seems like sweet oascs


In the desert Of our life,


Where we come, 10 sing thy praises,
