Topnoody.

Mr. Topnoody sat at the supper table Tuesday evening ‘as his wife cleared away the things, and after a moment’s silence he remarked: “My dear, do you know what day the day after to-morrow will be?” “Of course I do; it’s Thursday.” “I don’t mean that, my dear. Do you know what anniversary it will be?” “I don’t recall.” “Why, my dear, don’t you know that it is the anniversary of our marriage? On that day, thirty-five years ago, we ■were made man and wife and—” “And I’ve had a grudge against that preacher ever since,” interrupted Mrs. Topnoody. “And,” he continued, not noticing it, “since that day, hand in hand, we have gone along the pathway of life, gathering its thorns and flowers, bearing one another’s burdens and sharing one another's happiness. Whatever of sorrow we may have had, my dear, has been lightened by dividing it between us, and whatever of joy, has been doubled by a mutual possession.” “That sounds like you had been reading a novel, Topnoody.” “No, dear, it is merely the outgrowth of a pleasant retrospection. Do you know, my dear, it seems to me but yesterday since I saw the orange blossoms in your hair, and Jieard the music of the mystic words which joined two hearts and two lives in a unity blessed of Heaven. Has time sped on winged feet lor you, my dear?" “Not. hardly. Topnoodv.” ‘‘But. my dear, how long have the joyous moments seemed to you?” “Well, Topnoody, 1 haven’t figured it out quite as fine as hours and moments, but taking it in a lump, I should say it had seemed about, four thousand years. I might throw off an hour or two on an exact calculation, but not more than that, Topnoody.” Mr. Topnoody didn’t ask for an exact calculation. - -Merchant Traveler. * - *»■ -•»• -«■»- One of the very best efforts that humane societies have ever made is that of inducing horse owners to do away with the blind bridle. There are cases where, perhaps, blinds are useful, but usually they are useless, mid not only that, but their tendcn«y is to hurt the eyes. They are a great impediment to the free sight of the horse, whose eyes are so set that it looks rather sidewise instead of directly in front. With a blind on, therefore, the animal has no flee range of vision. In addition to this, if the blinds press against or strike the eye, the latter will most likely be damaged. Under all the circumstances the practice of putting blinds upon our bridles is about as foolish as checking up a horse’s head until the only thing that it can see is the sun and sky. Some may think that blinds look well, but even that is doubtful. We are of the opinion that a blindless bridle looks just as well on a horse as anything that can be put on its head. In our towns and cities where humane societies have an opportunity to create public sentiment in regard to the matter, many of our most stylish turnouts have no blinds on the bridles. —Western Rural. ......

Jelly cake. —Une ana a nan cups sugar, one-half cup butter, three eggs, half a cup sweet milk, two and a half cups of flour, one teaspoon of saleratua and two of cream of tartar. Beat the sugar and butter well, then add the well-beaten yelks and stir in the milk and then whites beaten to a froth; sift the saleratus and cream tartar with the flour. Gingeb Cookies. —Make a hole in the center of a pan of flour and then pour in one cup of sugar, one of molasses and one of fried meat gravy. Take one egg, one trifle-spoonful each of cloves, cinnamon and ginger; put two tablespoonfuls of saleratus in a cup ana pour on six table-spoonfuls of vinegar, add to. the rest and mix very hard, roll thin and bake in a quick oven. Lobster Croquettes.--To the meat of a well-boiled lobster, chopped fine, add pepper, salt and powdered mace. Mix with this one-quarter as much bread crumbs, well rubbed, as you have meat; make into ovates or cones, with two table-spoonfuls of melted butter; roll these in beaten egg, then in pulverized crackers, and fry in butter or very sweet lard. Serve dry and hot, and garnished with crisped parsley. Graham Gems.—To one pint of Graham flour add salt, one pint of sweet milk and one egg. Stir in the flour slowly till it becomes a smooth (not thick) batter. Use no soda or yeast. Bake immediately. The best gem-pans are of cast iron with twelve sockets, which must be first heated, then greased, filled and instantljMreturned to the oven. If new. the jflks should be Arst scoured with soap and sand, then greased, heated and rewashed. Gems may also be made without the egg, with milk and water, or all water. They may also be made of rye flour or earn meat The corn meal requires an egg. This recipe is sufficient for twenty-four gems. To be eaten warm with butter. THEcroMOfthe Cotswold on tne Merino is not as popular as it was a few years ago, except for early lambs. The wool is not liked. The South or Hampshire Down sheep crossed on Cotswold brings a lamb of the finest quality, and there are apt to be a large proportion of twins.

Blaine England’s Choice,

William Henry Hurlburt, formerly editor of the New York World, but now a res. dent of London, England o.ioled Senator Joseph E. McDonald, of this State, on the 26th of Septema ber, as follows: London, Sept, 16.—J. E. McDonald, Indianapolis: It is not true that the leading British newspapers favor the election of Grover Cleveland and deprecate the election of Blaine. British commercial interests demand the eleuiiot. of Blaine, and practical Brkish exporters admit this to mo. Tue system of Federal taxation represe e l by Mr. Blaine has given England the warkets of the world. English men know that American exports ; Tj steadily declining, and that American manufacturers represent only 14 per cent, of these ex. orts. Englishmen know that American production bus outruu our capacity of home consumption Englishmen know that Democratic refoim extending t o free list o.'raw materials would so diminish tho cost olj American production as to drive English- goodsjout of foreign markets, increase the output of American factories enhance thv demand for intelligent American lu bor and raise the wagit of American wor<ingrnen. Democratic reform means death to Federal luxation un» der which Aiiierican exports have fallen off $83,000,000 in value since 1883 and $162,000 000 in value since Mr Blaine cam<* into powm with the late PresidentG utl id in 188). This Federal t. x itiou leedi the export trade of England. Wtiar wideawake English newspaper then can. advo cate she election of Mr. Cleveland? Englishmen know it is this Federal taxation which handicaps the w<l ,I‘uid intelligent labor of America as French protection now enables English labor to undersell France In the markets of French Africa Englishmen admit under reforme i Democrat ict i xation Am> ticai | abor miglit und ersell English produ -er« in England. We giow three- of the cotton of ttie world. Our cotton factories are the best appointed, our spin tiers the best paid and the best edu cated alive, Yet Englishmen taunt us with the assertion that our expor tn of cotton goods are annually diminishing even with an over supply at home and with millions of canto intis at our doors in the new worfd Are we, stern voters, murines that Mr, Blaine should ask them to believe that England longs to see Mr. Cleveland saw off that huge limb of Fe eral taxation on which England now lolls so comfortable? What can b ihe tn-e of making commercial treaties with Mexico or Spanish America or Asia while Mr. B 1 a i n e stands ready with his ederal taxation t close the Panama 3 tnul to manufacturers of America for the t eneflt of the exporter of England and Europe?

WILLIAM HENRY HURLBURT.

The Richmond s reech, alleged to have been delivered bv Isaac P- Gray, March 121 b, 1866, wa« wiitten out seven! days alter Mr. Gray spoke in Richmond, by a man named Woods. Those parts more enpecialiy offensive to Democrats were the coinage o‘, and inserted by woods who was a Julian Republican. Mr. Gray was the candidate of the const rvative or liberal wing of the Republi* cun party, und expected the support of many Denioei »t« who would gain a vot? at the nominating election by promising to support the nominee, the district belt go erniHlmingly Republican. The speecn aa pi epared by "oods was published in the Richmond papers and the Union City gie. the editor of the latter being a staunch Julian supporter. Ttu isc j was veiy close and the infamously garbled report bad the desired effect, injuring Mr- Grav where beougbt to have had «niy friends. The speech in Mr. Gray’s canvass for Governor has been widely circulated by the Republics'! state comm tt.ee, but a simple statem nt of facts strip* it of any possible barm. A vote aenir st Gray would be a vote tor Calkins, who to day Is declaring Democrats dishonest and too unworthy for tlie reins of the government to be entrusted into their hands. —

In 1877, Calkins, in Congress, earn estiy advocated inoreas'ng tie stand pig army from 20,000 to 50,000 men Rest ring to the railroad strikes then existing he said a trained and discip* i tied force unlike state militia would have no smypathy upon such occan It would be simply the strong hand of power.

centralized government. The time will come, if such as he are to continue enacting laws, when attending army like in European countri«s will regulate the affai . s of the common people and overawe objections from underpaid workingmen Calkins has extreme audacity to go about claiming this is acontestto free laborjand that he is the laborer’s friend. It is a c ntest’in which the aristocracy of the United States aided by the Re* pubii.au party is trying to enslavela bcr. Many workingmen are blindiy striving to help on their own subjuga tiun and ruin. Can workingmen afford to vote for such a candidate as Ca|kins?

The Suratog i (N. Y.) Journal pub Itched the other day a communication purporting to come from Ballston Spa. which wu i signed with the names of ten citizens of that place, alleged to be Irish Democratic vot» es, it. f.-ivor nf Blaine. The oommuiiiva ion created considerable ex* clement in political circles, and the Democrats began an investigation immediately. This showed tl e whole matter to be a fraud and the signatu* res barefaced forgeries. Legal penalties wiil be rigorously enforced ugilnst the perpetrators of this late est trick in support of Blaine’s desperate chances. One of the alleged “Irishmen” is a full-blooded negro who never was as near the Emerald Isle as Sandy Hook.

As Mr. Blaine points with pride to the Morrill tariff of 1861 as the Republic n standard of protection, and then det ounces the Morrison tariff, V’at limits roducti .m to the standard of the Bepuolican Protection act of 1861, as hostile to protection, we submit that be should get beyond his dally eommoh platitudes ou the tariff and give at least one honest, in teliige..t presentation of the subject before the campaign closes.- Phila* delphia Times (Ind.) —— <♦ , Mr. McSweeney siys “that Irishmen in Ireland ate praying for the election of Cleveland.” Mr. McSweem y has just come from that country, and perhaps knows about the matter etter than the Republic van organs in this city.
