Refugees from Louisville arriving here by every train and on all roads give alarming accounts of the sudden outbreak of yellow fever in that city. Two huodred and fifty cases are reported in the neighborhood of the Louisville and Nashville depot, and tome streets in that vicinity are reported as almost entirely deserted by the fleeing populace. Everv vehicle obtainable is reported as being used to remove the terror stricken people, and hackmen are accused of charging exorbitant rates when called into the service of the frightened inhabitants. The locality of the outbreak is said to have been largely populated by refugees from fever districts further south, bat the disease is not confined to them alone. One lady says she was told to leave by her physician, and she started at once. LorisviLLK, Sept 20 Reports watch may be published to-morrow to the effect that original yellow fever exists in Louisville are nntrue. . There is do desire to cenceal the troth, ana tbe outside world can rest assured that the moment original fever does exist tbe.se dispatches will announce the fact. Louisville has opened her gates to the suffering south, and bid her refugees welcojae. The fever is not feared. There is none, and by reason of geographical posily believed that the disease can not prevail here. There has been a disposition upon the part of other cities to have the fever here whether or ne, and reports that people are leaving Louisville in large numbers are sensational. The report as to yellow fever in Louisville telegraphed Irom Cincinnati to-night is absurd in the extreme. It is entirely uncalled for and utterly without foundation. AT BIW ORLEANS.

POLITICAL. THE BAY STATE DEMOCRACY. The State Convention la Fanenll Hall Yesterday A Sedate atatl Orderly Body. k8TO!f, Sept. 25. The democratic state convention met In Faneuil hall, pursuant to the adjournment ordered by the state central committee at Worcester. Admission to the galleries was gained only by tickets furnished by the state central committee. EI Avery called the convention to order. The usual committees were appointed, also a committee to report a list of candidates other than governor. General John S. Whitney, who was appointed chairman, in his address to tbe delegates said: "No man can here interfere with your legislation; no ruffian threats of bloodshed and use of brute force can shape or in tbe slightest degree influence your action. No such document as that which closed tbe doors of Mechanics' hall at Worcester will ever emanate from tbe honorable mayor of Boston. Not yet are all our cities and towns so far bulldozed by tbe mobs which follow self nominated aspirants to tbe gubernatorial chair that tbe regular delegates to tbe state democrat! (convention shall be informed in writing' (hat tbe mob can not be removed from a hall pre-engaged by the regular democratic state committee for the state delegate convention." W. H. McCook, of Boston, addressed tbe chair from tbe center aisle, near tbe door. His known connection with the Bntler convention immediately caused contusion. When he attempted to speak there were cries of "put him out," "order" and "Butler convention," all over tbe hall. Tbe chair rapped to order but to no purpose. Cook persisted, advancing up tbe aisle and claiming to be a regularly accredited delegate. He finally retired down tbe aisle, and was removed by tbe police. Josiah G Abbot was then nominated for governor by acclamation. Tbe committee on nominations reported the remainder of tbe ticket, and tbe report was adopted as follows: For lieutenant governor, William R. Plunkett; secretary of ftate, Henry C. Dv King; treasurer and receiver general, Dvid M. Skllling; auditor, John K. Fitzgerald; attorney general, Richard Olney. The resolutions for the most part were on the necessity of reforms In tbe state government The following was tbe only referenco to tbe Butler convention : That the platform here adopted and the can did a tea here nominated are the p'atforni and randldatea of the democratic party of Muasa ctitisetts In alliance with the national democratic party, and the prvtenae that any candidate nominated by any other party or body of men tepreaents t law dnnoo ratio party Is utterly false and fraudulent. We summon all true democrats to rally to the support of the candidates this day nominated, because they alone repreaent the principle and organisation of the tune honored democratic party. The following are the resolutions relating to finances: The scheme Intimated and carried Into effect by the republican party, of providing a paper currency not redeemable in coin, mid eomiwlllng the reople to receive the same In payment of delits, la without the authority of the constitution. Congress has no power to make anything, unless It It gold or allver, IkI tender. Whatever IMwer it muy have to authorise the laaue of notes to circulate us money, whtther Issued directly from the treasury or Indirectly through ban Ita, should he exerclaed only subject to certain restriction. Ft rat, that no executive officer of the gov ernment should nave discretion to enlarge or cantntet the volume ol the currency second, that the total amount of currency authorised should be flaed by law; third, that whatever the amount. It ahou d lie one tlwat shall at any moment be redeemable In coin; fourth, that all eolna of the aauia denomination atiall he aa nearly aa possible of equal value; llftb, that whatever currency Is Issued by govern ment ahall be reowlvable by the government lu payment of puollo dues at lis face value. Speeches were made after tbe adoption of tbe resolutions and tbe convention adjourned. TUB nr.W YOItK I K II OC It ATM. The Htale Convenllen it Ky ra ee.se Ureat IMaorder Over tne Adinleolou ef the Tammany Delegation AUJours ment Till To-morrow. SvaAciKt Sept. 23. The democratic state convention was railed to order soon after 1 o'clock to-dsy and A. 1. Lanlng made temporary chairman. A resolution to admit the Tammany delegation from New York and the Klns county delegates, known as the McLaughlin delegation, both heretofore regarded as regular, guTO rise to long and acrimonious discission. The reatest disorder prevailed. I'cckham, of Albany; Weed and several others filled the aisles, shouting,

threatening, etc, while everybody was shooting for order and the clerk calling the the names of the Kins county delegates. The mayor and police here entered the hall and insisted that members should take their seats. Some resisted, and every one was on his feet, while the ball resoanded with confusion. Smith Weed had a half dozen police about him trying to get him off of a chair which he had mounted, but he defied

them. Tbe police were finally withdrawn to the front of the s'age, and comparative quiet was res'ored. Tbe secre aey then pro ceeded to call the roll. Tbe chair announced tbe result of the vote on the order of the previous question to be, ayes 195, nos 151 Tremendous cheering Tbe question on tbe resolution was then put and declared carried, amid great cheering. A motion to reconsider was then declared lost, amid great cheering. Brooks moved that a committee of one from each congressional district, to be named by the delegates from each district, be appointed on contested seats, also on permanent organization and also on resolutions. Carried. The convention then took a recess. After adjournment, P. W. Feckbam called on those who did not sympathize with tbe action Just taken to remain in the hall. Af ter remaining a while Smith M. Weed announced thai those who dissented from tbe sction taken would meet immediately at Park opera hoose, and a large crowd went there. Smith M. Weed was called to the ehair. He asked if ever in their experience they had seen such ssmeless cheating as was done in that convention. ' We are here, he said, to determine whether we should go back to that convention again or adopt rtsol utions expressing our sentimeots and denounce tbe action referred to and go back. Finally resolutions were adopted denounc Ing the action of the convention and resolv ing to go back and participate in tbe forma tion of tbe committers, and the meeting ad journed, upon reassembling, commute s on credentials and resolutions were appointed and the convention adjourned till 10 o'clock to-morrow. Second Day of the State convention A Harmonious S emlon. Stbacubk, Sept. 26. The democratic state convention was to meet at 10 o'clock, but at 11 the committee on credentials stated that they would not be ready to report until 1 o'clock, and the convention did not assemble. Until half past 2 o'clock there were no signs of the convention reassembling, the delay being caused by the debate on tbe contested cases in Onondaga county. At 3:45 tbe delegates entered the hall and business waa resumed. Eraatns Brooks was chosen permanent chairmen. Tbe committee on resolutions made a report, which was adopted. It reaffirms the principles set forth in its platform adopted in 1874 and 1877, and indorsed by a large majority of the people of the s ate. The administration of Governor Robinson was affirmed. G. B. Bradley was nominated for judge of the court of appeals, and the convention adjourned sine die. COSHLIHU'S CROWD. New York State Republican Convention Koaeoe Sounds tbe Key Note A Stale Speech and Platform. Saratoga, Sept. 2G. The republican state convention organized to-day with Roscoe Conklingas temporary chairman and per manent president. The senator, after acknowledging his hearty greeting, began his speech. He spoke for upwards of an hour, taking the hard money chute, using the stale arguments about tbe relations of capital and labor, attacking the leaders of the western democracy for their financial views, denouncing the solid south, and exhibiting the bugaboo of southern war claims, fin conclusion be said: "Let our motto be: In essentials unity, in non-essentials libeity, in all thiDgs charity." Mr. Conkling having concluded, tbe usual committees were appointed and a recess taken. , Tbe platform advocates tbe payment of the public debt and public promises according to the letter and spirit of the law; insists on specie resumption and making currency and coin equivalent; upholds the electoral com million; demands free and unlntimidated elections in the south: denounces the southern claims; favors civil service reform; opposes further land grants or subsidies to corporations; decries the crippling of tbe army, and denies a reduction of expenditures by the democratic house; declares an emergency exists for the success of the republicans, and calls for support. George William Curtis' rising was greeted with applause and loud calls to take the flat form, where he was again received with De heartiest greeting, lie said he rose to second tho motion for the unanimous adoption of the platform which had just been read. Renewed applause. We came here for harmony, and harmony we have found. I do not believe there is a republican in tbe land, from the president down applause wbo can fall to approve the position taken in this platform on the great overshadowing issue of tbe bour. I believe this is the platform upon which the republican administration of tbe country would stand. George F. Danforth was nominated for Judge of the court of appeals, and the convention adjourned sine die. UEXEItlL POLITICAL NF.vVS. The Lonlalajna leinwcrat The lie braakn Democrats Various Congree alonal Conventions. NKwOai.gAKs, Sept 2d. A member of the state central committee of tbe democratic conservative party asserts that it is untrue that auy attempt has been made to make an active iolltlcal canvass in Louisiana, where tbe yellow fever prevails. On tbe contrary, no address has been lsssued, no public gatherings or speeches made in such localities. Unobtrusive et forts are being made to secure registration, and the committees are quietly at work in connection with the candidates, perfecting the party organization and prelarlog campaign documents. The retail of absent candidates by the democratic committee was to secure their aid and advice in organization, and did not necessarily Involve their presence at points where tbe fever prevails. LmcoL.H, Neb., Sept 21. The democratic state convention met here to-day. . One hundred and twenty' five delegates were present. On temporary organization, W. V. Connor, a repre seuta'lve of hard money, was cboaco chairman over C. II. Brown, by live majority.

Cocoa nut ros Dessert. Grate a cocoanut very nicely; add powdered sugar nntil very weet; serve with cream. Chocolatx Custard. One quart of milk and three ounces chocolate, boiled together until thoroughly mixed; then take off the fire and add lour eggs well beaten in; sea son to taste. Watermilow Pick lis. Ten pounds of tbe rinds, boiled in water till tender; make a syrnp of two pounds sugar and one quart of vinegar, half onnce cloves, one ounce cinnamon; this to be poured over tbe rinds (boiling hot) three dsys in succession. Bared Ccstacd Beat seven eggs with three tablespoonfuls of rolled sugar; when beaten to a froth mix them with a quart of milk; flavor it with nutmeg; turn it into cups, or else into deep pie plates that have a lining and rim of pastry; bake quickly in a hot oven. Chocolate Kisses. Three heaping tablespoon fuls of grated chocolate, one pound of granulated sugar, the whites of four eggs; beat tbe eggs to a froth, not too stiff; add the sugar and chocolate, and stir well together; flavor witn thirty drops of vanilla; drop on buttered paper with a teaspoon; bake in a moderate oven for ten minutes. To Take Stairs Oct or Whitc Goods. One teaspoonf ul of chloride of lime in about three quarts of water will take any kind of stain out of white goods; put the part with tbe stain on it in tbe water and let it remain until out. It will not injure the cloth if prepared in tbis way; only spots on white goods can be taken out in this manner. Apple Custard. Take half a dozen tart, mellow apples, pare and quarter them, and take out the cores; put them In pan, with half a teacup of water; set tbem on a few coals; when they begin to grow soft, torn them into a pudding dish, and sprinkle sugar on them; beat eight eggs with rolled brown sugar; mix tbem with three pints of milk; grate in half a nutmeg, and turn the whole over tbe apples; bake tbe custard between twenty and thirty minutes. To Blow Oct. a Kekoseh k Lamp. Raise the flame until it jastdoes not smoke, and then blow sharply across the top of tbe chimney. The light will be instantly extinguished. The philosophy of the action is simple and interesting. Blowing over tbe top ot the lamp causes a rare tic Lion of the air which tbe air of the chimney rushes up to fill, thus being lifted, as it were, away from the flame, which of course must cease to burn. Blowing down into the chimney is thus avoided. How to Cleak Black Silk. The durability of black silks leads to tbe necessity of their frequent cleaning, and an excellent way to do this Is as follows: reel about tiro potatoes, slice them thin and pour one pint of boiling water on them. Leave it standing four hours. When rrady for immediate use put in about a quarter of a teacupful of alco hoi. Sponge the silk well on tbe wrong side, rubbing any shiny spots with care. Then roll it tightly around a thick pole. This re news its freshness and cleans it well. Do not use an Iron. Everto5 Caxdy. To make this favorite and wholesome candy take one and one-half pounds of moist sugar, a teacup and a half of water and one Itmon; boil the sugar, but ter and water together, with half the nnd of tbe lemon, and when done, which will be known by dropping into cold water, when it shouWl be quite crisp, let it stand aside till the boiling has ceased, and then stir in the juice of the lemon; butter a dish, and pour it in about one-quarter of an Inch thick. Tbe fire must be quick and candy stirred all the time. Cleaniko a Brcs-sels Carpet. First have tbe carpet well shaken, then tack it down in tbe room where it is to remain; sweep it as thoroughly ss possible; take a pail ot hot water, put in two tablespoonfuls of pulverized borax; wash the carpet all over tbe sur face, using a flannel cloth. For grease spots or very dirty places, ue a scrubbing brush freely, and a very little poap, taking care to rinse on tbe soap well after scrubbing; change tbe water quite often; rub tbe carpet well with a dry cloth after washing, and open doors and windows so as to dry the carpet as quickly as possible. A correspondent writes: "I make great use of old tin cans; persons with little means use tbelr wits if they love flowers. Home of these cans I have painted on the outside, some I put common thick wrapping paper around, just pasting it onand when several holes are put in the bottom they answer very well. In some I put a hole near the top, and hang them on nails driven in tbe posts of the piazza, and plant drooping things, such as lobelia, sweet atyssura, ferns, etc, and tbey look very pretty. I can not afford swinging brackets, but I make a very good bracket with a piece of a board."

Wre notice by our exchanges that many of the farmers'about the state are again threshing from the shock and hauling their grain direct to njirket Ordinarily tbis plan has some sd vantages to recommend it, but this year, when the wheat has been bleached out by hot sues aDd repeated rains, is not advisable. It should by all means go into the stack and undergo the sweat" before being threshed and sold. This will in most cases raise tbe grade and save tbe owner from 5 to 10 cents on the bushel. The "sweating" Jrocess Is not one generally understood, aking either wheat or oats, or even hay, and stacking or mowing them, in. a short time they will be found to be undergoing what is commonly known as the "sweat." On opening the stack the straw will be found damp as well as tne grain, accompanied by considerable heat, which lasts for a number of days. At such timea It is difficult to sep arate tbe berry from -the head, and it is eldom threshed by any good farmer till this period is j ast. The result of tbis sweat is that the dead color of the berry is restored, while tbe kernel itself Is filled out and is considerably plumper than when it went Into the stack. Bat this ia not alL During this period there has baen . a constant absorption by the berry of the nutiitive elements in tbe stalk, rendered active by the fermentation, and this develops and ripens the kernel. Some question whether there is any more gluten added, but it is our opinion that there is, and that it is richer in albuminoids, an! will make, consequently, a higher quality of flour than if not stacked at all. But the suggestion we desired, to urge was that stacking would brighten tbe grain, which is this year mostly of a dead color, and add a few dollars more to the revenue of the farm, which all will frankly acknowl edge is always small enough. SL. Paul Pioneer Press. What Shadk Trees to Plant A correspondent in a recent number of 8c rioter's Monthly says upon the subject: There is a great satisfaction in knowing what selection of shade trees those who are competent to judge would make for road or lawn planting. Just such information is now before tbe public, and it will prove of very great value to those wbo intend to beautify their roadsides or pnvate grounds. Tne park commissioners of Washington, D. C, composed of three men of high standing in horticultural circles, have planted miles tf shade trees numbering about 40,000. Tbe bulk of these are made of twelve varieties, aod are named herewith in the order in which tho commission valued them for the purpose: White maple, American linden, American elm, scarlet maple, box elder, sugar maple, American white ash, English sycamore, button ball, tulip tree, hooey locust, Norway maple. This is an excellent assortment to select from for roadside planting. Each variety here named when full grown assumes handsome proportions, and most of them have brilliant and attractive foliage In tbe fall. In planting shade trees along the roadside, especially in a clayey country, they should be set at least 50 feet apart, f if closer, there will be too much shade, aod bad wet roads in the spring are sure to follow. This close planting should be strenuously avoided in decorating private grounds. Any system that excludes the free access of sun and air from the dwelling houses is perLidous. Go wherever one may, he will find this faulty system of close planting in vogue, and in eight caes out of ten tnre are two trees or shrubs on a space where one would have been enongh. The plea for tbis is a desire for immediate effect. The remedy is to cut down in time every other tree. This hut is seldom, if ever, carried out. Tools akd Teams. Prof. Beal states that a beginner at tbe farm business had better not jubtlhen buy a very large assortment of tools. His expenses are likely to be large, and be may not know exactly whathe wants. Of this he may be certain, that poor tools are not economical. He should remember that a day's work of a man is often worth a dollar or a dollar and a half, while a good hoe can he bought lor half that amount. Labor that is performed with a dull, rusty hoe tbat is loose on the handle will cost more than that performed with a nice new implement. It is economy to throw away poor tools and buy good ones. To some extent the same is true of a team. It takf s as much time of tbe driver to care for and drive a poor team as it does a good one, while tbe cost of feeding maybe about equal. Tbe wages of a driver will cost about a much as the wages of a team of two good horses. Why waite a half or a third, or even a quarter, of tbe labor of a valuable man in setting him to work with a cbesp, light or inferior team? A good, handy, fast walking team is more economical at a high price than a team which walks slow, or which is awkward or of poor quality. A poor toot or a poor team is always dear at ony price, and is one of the signs of mismanagement and poverty. An implement should be as light as is consistent with strength. There is a great satisfaction In handlm excellent .tools. It is well to be a little shy of patent high priced implement! of all kinds, unless you have plenty ot money to spare. Tbe thrifty man on garden or farm will take csre of tbe tools and the team. He will paint the former, oil tbem, t-lsau them and house tbem. The careless man will lea-e them in the open air, scattered about tbe premises where they were last used, or he will leave them along tbe road r in tbe lane, or in front of his barn or dwelling house. We can nearly always judge of a' farmer's care, and generally of his success, by seeing bin tools, and bow he takes care of them. Many men are heavy listed an J rwUt or pry or bnak or soon spoil nwarly erery Implement they lav their bands on. Tho are proud of aisplsylng their strength. 'They are very unlucky.'' Others are tbe best of hands, take ho'd of tools with cars and uie them properly, tiucli men ere haoly, lucky and profitable to employ. The bediming farmer or gardener will ne d. a few carpenter tools. It will be very fortunate for him if he has bad some instruction and practice in the use of such tools, and in keeping them In good repair. Other things being equal, the natural mechanic will have mach advantage over tbe one who baa no Uctlnoaing tools. Mechanical tngonulty Is a priceless glC. i ut tboee wbo have not tbis gift can lean: r do much better than they usually do. Uoctl work depends more than tnanv aonnoae on rood tools In eoed order. Tools should be taken care of, and see evry think kt pt in it proper place. A lot of old rusty toils stlcalug about In the crscka of the wall, or thrown togttber In an old, box, are Indeed very little better tbar, no tooteat all. lljtch work la tbe only kind ot work that can potsibly be done with them.
