The Wr Election Blots in Washington. The negro suffrage experiment is beglnLing to brini? forth its natural fruits, in scenes of riot and bloodshed. That disturbances similar to those m Washington have not yet taken place throughout the Southern States, is doubtless owing to the fact thst all the elections yet held in those States under the negro-suff 'age regime have been under the overawing and repressive superintendence of the Federal army. In the seven States which rati fid negro constitutions, the (fScers were chosen at the same time that the constitutions were voted cr. and while the State were still under martial law. Had Washington been under martial law on Monday, with an armed Federal force present to preserve order and repress outbreak the election riots would not have occurred. The natural working of the neirro suflrsge experiment can be jurie d f only by its operation in places where the terror of military authority d'ies not hold the negroes in check. The District of Columbia is, as yet, the only place to wh'ch this description will apply. As like causes, in like circumstances, produce like effects, we may expect similar disord- rs thr ughout the Southern States as soon as the elections are free. Th.-re is no pretense, in any quarter, that the Washington election riots were provoked by agressions or insults offered to the negroes by white men. There was no attempt by white men to prevent any negro from voting or to interfere, in any way, with the freest exercise of the rights conferred on the nt groes by law. The riots were begun by the negroes ; they were the fruity of the domineering insolence of black Radicals, who attempted to mur.Jer other negroes. Until the disturbances became dangerous and alarming, white men did not appear on the scene; and th. u not to participate in the riot, but to subdue it by the lawful exercise of authority as members of the police. White men may have instigated these riots ; but if so, they did it as liiends and fellow par-ti-ans of the negroes, seating them on in the interest of the Republican party. The object of the riot was o frighten and coerce the whole negro population of the ciiv into voting the Radical ticket. The system of terrorism and coercion which has been begun in Washington will probably be extended through the Southern cities. The suffrage was conferred on the negroes from sneer partisan motives; the object was not to protect them, but to benefit the Republican party. It was foreseen that without universal negro suffrage every Southern State would be almos unanimously Democratic, an 1 that as soon as the two political par
ties ehould become tolerably equal in the ; .North, the power of the Republican party woull be extinguished frever. It was assumed by the Republicans that they would always be able to control the negro vote and wield it us a solid mass. If this expectation j-boubl be disappointed ; il the negro v te should be divided and a considerable portion of it be given to the Democrats, the Republicans would lose all the expected fruits of their conspiracy against the rights of the States. To prevent their conspiracy fr m recoiling against its authors, unscrupulous politicians, like Forney, have set the negroes on to regard every negro who does not vote the Republican ticket as a traitor to his race, whom they may hang or shoot with as little compunc ion as they would a mad dog The Washington negroes have been educa'ed by their white Radical patrons to tolerate no negro votinsj except on their side; and the bloodthirsty vengeance with which they sought, on Monday, to take the life of colored men who intended to vo'c 'he other ticket, shows what kind of inflouacei have been at work in moulding their feelings. Thp future ascendency . A? A Tv . . oi me rv pu oilcan pc - staked on us ability to keep the MgTO phalanx unbroken; and when they en no longer control it by the f TeedmenV. Bureau and the araty, their last desperate resource consists in inspiring the b ldest and most unscrupulous of the negroes with a feel in. of bloody intolerance, w hich will make it ursafe for any negro to act with the Democratic party. In Wa bington, which is the focus of Republican intrigues, where i Republican Conjrres-1 and a Republican administration are so overshadowing and powerful, they have succeeded in imbuing a majority of the negroes with a spirit of brutal tfoaaineerii g and murderous intolerance which thirsts f r t lie blood of every black man who ref uses to vote in accord&ace with Republican dictation. But ia the greater part of the South, the evroes will be less exposed fo KepubUin influence than they are in Washm2;on. If, even in Washington, they cn be kent in the Republican trace & only by threats of violence rivI attempts cm their lives, it is prr,hr that large minilrers of negroes in Democratic neighborhoods will j&ollne to act with the Democratic party. In the cities and large towns, where the Republicans can get access to them, the negroes will be inSpired with the same diabolical feelings wh'ch broke out in bloody riots at the Federal capita ; but throughout the rural portions of the Sou'b, black men will be h'jeto yote as they please without exposing themselves to instant death at the hands of infuriated Radical negroes; and large numbers of them will be found acting with the Democratic party. After the H oublican8 have conferred universal suffrage on the negroes for a partisan object, Democrats will vindicate their right to use the elective franchise in the spirit of freemen, in defiance of the dictation of negro mobs, instigated and set on by re. kless Radical politicans. New York World. m tioing Back on Ihelr Friends. A teleram published yesterday states hat notwithstanding assertions to the contrary, the last official act of the President before leaving Washington wav to refuse the application cf the white Republicans at Macon, Georgia, for the removal of Turner, the negro postmaster there. It is s'a ed, moreover, that Turner is obnoxious to every white man in that city without reeard to politics No reason is given fbl thi- feeling of hostility, and we are obliged to infer it is on account of his rwee or color. Probably there are some among lata ' whi'e Republicans " who are not adverse to ;he idea of holding the ( fflce themselves These white Republicans m-ide a great t do when the Georgia Legislature turned out the colored members, and now they are equally indignant be-cau-e (Jeneral Grant has appointed a jro to be postmaster.

The Cincinnati Qaftle (Radical) draws this picture of its own party-reconstruct-e 1 S'ae, Tennessee : " It has been the common custom to de M riba ne political situation of Tennessee, since the reconstruction, as 'hell.' No 0 i who has read an account of the late R .. . , u;iq su Convention will doubt the fitness of the term. Such a riot of 1 H-aion, conrscness, profanity, and blackguardiHcn makes the most vivid picture the imagination can conceive of pandemonium. Ia all that two days' strife of order we see no signs of a wholesome popular sentiment of a capable, independent, self reliant people, such as exercise a moral contro. over their representatives and leaders; we see nothing but a helpless mass, and the strife of a few reck
less leaders, determined to rule or ruin Nor does it present even this alternative, for the -scape from ruin is by no means guaranteed by their rule. " Tennessee is suffering from the inevitable consequences of irresponsible government a government which ostracises the gteat body of the tax payers, and of that intelligent cla.:. which naturally makes up the controlling public sentiment. In her experience we realize the truth of declarations made by Gov. Andrew, of Massachusetts, and of Henry Ward Beecher, for which they were denounced at the time, to the effect that we cannot set up a safe government in the South by excluding the property holders and the natural leaders of society. It was supposed to be a very simple and easy thing to do, and that we had only to enfranchise the mass of black? just set loose from the long night of bondage, and to disfranchise the former governing element, and we should have loyal State governments. We hope our readers will bear witness that we never advocated such a plan, and that we have always held that until the people of the Southern States could be trusted, the United States should govern them; not by arbitrary military power, but by law. 44 We have seen a full trial of this sys tem of establishing a loyal government in Tennessee, and it has become a question whether such loyalty is not exhaustive to the State, and whether we may not have to relax the loyal rigidity in order to save the State from ruin. In general, the Rad ical rule has been marked by pmfl'gacy in both State and municipal government, as is shown by the great increase in State and municipal debts, beside the great floating debts which they are carrying along at ruinous rates of interest. In this we realize the evil of disfranchising the great body of tax-payers, and thus losing their conservative influence in public affairs. And this is aggravated by an agrarian spirit which takes pofse&skn when they who are hostile to the property class have control of the government ; who are apt to regard every burden they add to property as so much toward its equal distribution, and toward securing their share. And in this case, there is the fee'ing that these burdens are in the line of retribution upon the property class for their disloyalty in the civil war." - s On üolug Surety, Ocoht a man ever go surety for another ? Why not? It is a most friendly act. If prudently done, it may be of the most eminent benefit to a neighbor. It gives him the benefit of your good reputation when hy 5 not known. It lends him your credit where his own is not tiDfflcient. It puts him in funds which otherwise he could not command. Such service to a friend is generous, and sometimes even noble. No better use can be made of one's money than to help a true friend. We are commanded to remember those in bonds as bound with them. To be sure, this was originally applied to bonds of a different kind, but with not a whit more propriety than to pecuniary bonds A man who, by a few thousand dollars, can save hi friends, and perhaps his family, from bankruptcy and
want, could hardly spend his money in a manner which, all his life long, he would remember with more satisfaction. But there are certain moral and pru dential considerations which should always be borne in mind in going surety for a friend. You should make up your mind how much property you have, and how much you are willing to give away, ab'olutely, for that friend whom you indorse. For no blunder can be worse than to in dorse on the supp'jsition that you will not have to pay. Never indorse without saving to yourself " This may come around upon me. I may have to pay it ; and, if it cornea to that, I am able and willing." Nine out of ten of the fatal mistakes ma le by bondsmen arise from taking the opposite course to this They consider the act of indorsing a friend's paper as a merf ojcamerciai form. "There is no risk I anall not have it to pay. He is abundantly able to take care of his paper. I shall help him without harming myself, and he is a stingy man who will not do that" Th;s is the calculation on which a man binds himself to pay his friend's debts in case the friend cannot pay them himself But how do these things turn out? One need not go far to ascertain. Every village hns an illustration. The borrower was more involved than you supposed, or perhaps than he himself knew, and his creditors closed on him and wound him up, and were overjoyed to find such a good name as yours on his paper. Or, the sanguine scheme on which he had ventured, which seemel sure of success, almost without, possibility of failure, suddenly, like a loaded wagon, slipped off a wheel and upset into the dirt. Or, just as every thing was at the point of success, our friend sickened and could not look after his affairs, some critical matter was neglceted, or some dishonest person sbppt'd in and crooked matters, your friend died, the estate went into executor' hands for settlement, was badly managed, warped and crippled, and finally turned out insolvent. And what became of you ? Why, you were surety for the full amount of what you are worth f In an hour you find yourself confronted with a debt that sweeps away your house, your farm, your little sum in the bank, and leaves you just where you began twenty-five years ago, with the difference, that then you had only yourself to provide for, and now you have a wife and eight children. Then you were twenty five years old and life was all before you, and now you are fifty years old, and HJfa pretty much all behind you! You have given away your children's bread. You have not saved your friend, but have ruined yourself! Perhaps your friend had settled on his wife a small property. So much the better for her, if he had. Of course she will divide with you, since it was to save her husband that you were ruined. But, if she will not (and nature is made up of shaky stuff), and her children go to school, while yours stay at home; and if they live in a comfortable house, pleasantly furnished, while you am hiring a few rooms in the cheapest quarter of the town, then I suspect that you will chew the cud of a great many bitter reflections. When it is too late, you will be very wise. You will say to yourself, it miy be, " A man is a fool who signs for any larger sum than he can conveniently pay." Amen, say I ! " Before a man puts his name down on another man's paper, he should ask himself, am I willing to give this person as much money as I sign for ?" Amen, say I ! " To sign a bond on the supposition that it is a mere form, and that you will have nothing to pay, it is to put one's head into a fool's noose." Amen, again, say I ! There is no harm in signing for a neighbor if you have got the property ; if you are able to pay the amount without harming your own household ; and if you love the man for whom you sign enough to be willing to give him outright the sum covered by your ind rsement. Otherwise, to go surety for a neighbor is a folly, a sin and a shame. Henry Ward Beecher. Gen. Butler was taking tea at the house of a lady friend in Washington the other day. The General seemed to look as though something was lacking, and the following dialogue took place !

One who reads and uses skill may work less, and sleep in a spring bed. an engineer resigned his position on a Western Railroad in disgust, because, as he said, it consisted of nothing but the right of way and two streaks of rust. A young married man of Bridgeport, Conn , was sent home from church by his wife, on a recent Sunday, for a prayer book, and brought her a photograpii album. Here is a characteristic mot of a French mother in-law : " What affords me pleasure in the death of my little grandson is the grief which it will cause my son-in-law." A Quaker once hearing a person tell how much he felt for another who was in distress and needed assistance, dryly asked him, " Friend, hast thou felt in thy pocket for him?" Bat ard Taylor says: "I consider Kansas and Nebraska, with the western ortion8 of Iowa and Missouri, to be the argest unbroken tract of splendid farming-land in the world." A bot, when asked to what business he would wish to be brought up, replied, "I will be a trustee, because, ever since papa has been a trustee, we have had pudding for dinner." The following advice is offered by an exchange to people who pine for a supply of great men : ' If you would select a youth who is likely to make his mark in the world, take one who is carting mud in a clnm-frhell wagon." Whkat clübs have been organized in different parts of the South. Each member pays so much into the treasury, and all the money thus received is to be given to the man who harvests the best acre of this cereal. It used to be the custom of the smallfruit growers of the South to import their crates and baskets from the Northern States. Of late they have learned to manufacture these articles nearer home, and thereby a considerable saving is secured. Paris trades to the figure of 5,000,000,000 trancs a year, gives employment to G0O,000 work people, and pays 2,000,000,000 francs in wages.

At South Hadley, Mass., a few weeks ago, some workmen, while repairing the old Hayes place, found in the chimney on the second floor an entrance opening into an unused rl set. and in this oven like place were two smoked hams that were in a perfect state of preservation, and had been there over fifty years. There was a great flatter among the police t the Louvre Station House the other day when it was discovered that some mischievous persons had besmeared with tar the equestrian statue of Napoleon the Third, which has given rise to so many snears and witticisms. It took a dozen workmen two hours to clean the statue thoroughly. The son of a Buffalo jeweler, named Walker, was killed by the Angola Railroad disaster last year. A watch known to be on his person at the time was not found, but a few days ago was brought to his father's establishment for repairs, and has been traced back to one R bins, since arrested, who was on the tram at the time of the disaster. A publisher in Germany made some time ago an offer, which he designated in his letter as very lucrative, in order to in duce Charles Dickens to write for a paper he was publishing. Dickens replied that he had no time to write for him, and as for the lucrative character of the offer, he was paying twice as much as had been offered to him to the humblest of the contributors to All the Year Round. Public Opinion furnishes the following epigram on the marriage of a very thin couple : St. Paul has declared that when persona, though twain, Are in wedlock united, one fleah they remain.

Randall Sylvester, of Freedom, Me., a man 32 years old, has lain in bed for fifteen years, cannot 4 peak above a whisper, and is a mere skeleton. He dreamed one night how to make a violin, although he had never seen one made. He was supplied with timber in the rough, and such tools as he could use while lyine on his back, and fabricated a beautiful in strument, ornamented with shells resembling pearls. It is composed of ninety-two pieces, but appears like one piece till examined closely. Its tone in very fine. To prevent guns from rusting, here is a preparation vhich we have used for years and which we know to be good ; Twenty ounces best olive oil, one ounce and a half spirits of turpentine. This should be rubbed on the gun barrels, outside and in, with a rag; leave all that ad heres to the barrels, and put the gun away until wanted. Do this and you bid defiance to rust, even in the swamps of Louisiana Iron rust seems to act like contagion, and when it once commences to work on any utensil it is exceedingly hard to check it. Once roughen the surface of steel and the polish is forever gone. 8 ruthern Paper. Republican newspaper?, and especially those in Chicago, have lately made a great clamor about the corruption existing in the city government of New York. They have, seemingly, supposed that it they could convict the Democratic office holders in that city of dishonesty, they would thereby present a complete justification of the roguery and rottenness in the Republican party. Full of this idea, they have, as Mr. Lincoln would say, " kept pegging away " at the wickedness of the Democratic Oothamites. Mayor Oakey Hall, in his late message to the Common Council of New York, has been unkind enough to npset the arguments of " moral Idea " newspapers concerning rascality among the Democratic city officers. He says the Mayor and Common Council " are not at all responsible for the city and county tax budgets for the year ." They were fixed by the Republican Legislature at Albany. In fact, the Legislature at Albany has so hambered the city government of New York, by commissions and commissioners of various kinds, that the Mayor and Common Council have but little authority and responsibility. The Republican newspapers, then fore, in assailing the city government have made out a case against their own party. Chieago Timet.

To Destroy Pulato Bugs. A farmer writes to the Wqtttrn Rural : Almost as soon as the potatoes are up, the layer c me and deposit their eggs on the under side of the leaf. After I have plowed my potatoes the first time, I hire my children to pick the leaves that have the nests on, and brine them in and burn them. The first year I pet them to work without pay it soon became tiresome, in a day or two they could scarcely find any. I told them I would give them fifty cents a hundred for every hundred brought in, or one for two; they went to work with renewed energy, for children do not like to work without pay any better than you or I do. The result has been in the last two years my potatoes have been uninjured, while some of my neighbor's potatoes were stripped by them. In the year 1806, I had half an acre in. The bugs were very bad that year. The potttoes rotted so bad that some of my neighbors did not get more than their seed, while I got only about one bushel of rotten potatoes that year. My boy gathered about 100 nests, and my little girl about 40 nests. I paid them as I had promised, and with his fifty cents my boy bought a slate and Spencerian copy book, which he needed, and he prized them more than if I had got them for him, because he earned them and bought them with his own money. I have tried ashes and other bug humbues, and find this the best and surest; besides it keeps the chiMren out of mischief and cultivates in them a desire to earn something for themselves. Try it this year, brother farmers, and you will find your money well invested. Coring Hay. Experience proves that grasses should be cut for hay when the stalks are in bloom. The best time of all, both for clover and other grasses, is just when in full bloom, and the earliest blossoms are beginning to fade. If not too heavy it can then be cut in the morning, and, if carefully scattered, can be hauled into the barn in the afternoon of the same day. This mak s the best quality of hay. It retains more of the nutriment of grass than if it is left exposed to dews atd rait s for a few dnys, and goes much further both for fattening stock and pr d icing milk. But when the grass is very heavy and is cut with a mowing scythe and thrown into heavy swaths or rows, it will not cure thoroughly under two days, and is not so good for food as that cured and put away in one day. Dew and moisture always effect the fibre of cut grass, and weaken the strength of the hay. They also injure and destroy the sugary matter contained in the stems, and rendr them dry and tasteless. When a branch of hav 1 . . J . i . s.t -m can ue iwis eu tignt wnnout snowing moisture or juice it is dry enough to be stowed away. A little salt scattered over hay which has been caught in showers will improve it, aud render it more platable to Stock. Experimental Farm Journal. Sore Backs on Horses. A strong horse with a sore back is frequently shorn of half his strength. A sore back ia usually the result of a miserable harness. Yet in many instances, the back band is mde too short, or is buckled up too tight, so that the traces at the bckbmd are raised above a direct line from the hames to the whiffle tree. When this is the case, the back-band, when the horse draws, is pressed down with force on the back; and unless the pad is sofr, or the Harness nc ihh.ii with tv,T-.it rtartr i . . ... . - . wound will be made, which will be difflcult to heal, so lontr M the harncni that, made the wound is employed on the animal. When a horse has a sore back, and it seems necesairy to keep him in the harness, let the back-band be removed entirely ; or let it be lengthened, and fastened a few inches back of the wound. It will be very easy to determine whether a back-band is liable to injure the animal's back, by observing, when he draws, whether the portion of the harness directly above the back is drawn down forcibly or is lifted clear from the back. A wound on the back of a horse is frequently irritated so long by the rough harness that it becomes almost incurable. A fresh wound, if not kept bleeding by the rubbing of the harness, will heal in two or three weeks in warm weather without f any other medicine than soapsuds. But an old wound tnat has tried to heal after the scab has been rubbed off several times requires an application of burnt alum, pulverized, to cleanse it of the " proud flefh." The best remedy is a preventive. The driver is the one on whom the blame should rest, for allowing a horse to have a sore back. If the harness ia not right, let it be made right before a horse is required to work in it. It is barbarous to work an animal in a harness 'hat will gall the Mesh. Better cut an old collar and harness into fragments, and bury the pieces beneath a grape vine, than to continue to use such fixtures as will wound a faithful beast of burden. Furthermore, when a sore back has been allowed to ulcerate, frequently discharging ichorous matter, one of the most efficacious remedies is, to bathe the wound for two successive hours in strong soapsuds every day, and after the bathiug, wash the a fl cted part with a solution f salt petre and spirits of turpentine, prepared as follows : Put one-quarter of a pound of saltpetre and half a pint of turpentine into a bott! j; shake up well before using ; apply to the wound three times a day with a feather. And when the wound has assumed a healthful appearance and seems to be healing, this m.lieine may be discontinued. American Stock Journal. USEFUL RECIPES, ETC A correspondent of the Canada Farmer states that hellebore and water, sprinkled upon currant-worms before they have spread over the bush, wili destroy them and save the fruit. A well known horticulturist says : " If one's garden is quite limited, and a few apples are desired, I advise the planting ol dwarf-trees, which, with good care, will vield a fair quantity of very superior fruit." A house keetek having some stone jars in which lard had been kept, made them perfectly sweet by packing them full of fresh soil and kiting it remain two or three weeks. She suspects it would be equally effective in any case of foul earthen or stone ware. Thk Qardener' Monthly says. "There is nothing that will make as good a border as Box, or some of the dwaif Aborvitres. Of flowering plants, the best is the Perennial Candytuft. This will flower in April. The Mouutain or Moss Pink Phlor. Subulata is a pretty tdging.

The Working Farmer says the best way to get rid of the young suckers that grow up at the base of the trunks of orchard trees, is to wait till the suckers are in leaf, at which time they are loosened more rapidly, and taking each separately in the hand, place a thick boot upon it near the tree and pull the shoot from its juncture with the tree. They will not sprout up again. Commence hoeing and cultivating just as soon as the weeds appear above ground, or a little before, if possible. It is a diffi cult task to get ahead of the weeds if you allow them to grow until they are wellrooted and strong. One day's work killing weeds when they are an inch high, h nearly equtl to four when they are that number of inches high. Some men never begin in time, consequently they are always behind, and their crops are in the same pre iicamenL Always try to be a little ahead of your work and then it will never crowd, even if there are a few rainy dayp just at the time certain crops need cultivating. These warm days, followed by copious showers, will make the grass and weiis grow around the stems of trees, as well as elsewhere. A handsome tree is certainly of more value than a cabbage or tomato
plant yet there are many persons who will take good care of the latter, but en tirely neglect the former. D g about the roots of your trees; not only close up about the stems, but fork up a good, wide space, so that the rain can pass down to the lowest roots, and not be absorbed by the grass and weeds. Keep the soil well cultivated, or mulch around all trees it you want them to grow and remain healthy. Hearth and Home. How to Beat "Whites of Egos. On breaking eggs, take care that none of the yolk becomes mingh d with the whitt s A single particle will sometimes prevent their foaming well. Put the whites into a large flat d'sh, and beat them with an egg-beater made of double wire, with a wire handle, or with a cork stuck crosswise upon the prongs of a fork. Strike a sharp, quick stroke through the whole length of the dish. Beat them in a cellar, or some other cool place, till they look like snow, ami you can turn the dish over without their slipping off Never suspend the process, nor let them stand, even for one minute, as they will begin to turn to a l'quid state, and cannot be re stored, and lhus will make heavy cake. Qermantown Telegraph. Water Tor Horses. Mr. B. Cartledgk, of Shffield, a member of the Royal Veterinary College, calls attention to the very common mistake made by keepers of horseä in limiting the 8UDnly of water to their animals ' Many owners of horses, most grooms, and others who have the chanre of them. I m . ... . to know how much water a horse ought to be allowed, and, when a poor, thirsty, over-jriven animal arrives at his iournev's end. he is treated i to a very limited supply, and the pail is I taken away before its necessity is half met. it is a mistasen notion that cold water frequently produces "colic" I have kn' wn it cure the disease. When cold water does cause abdominial pain, it if from long abstinence, and when the horse d i ks to excels. But even this is rare. I allow my horse to drink from every trough I meet on the road, if the water be clean, and, in my own btud, I never had a case of colic. At home, my horses always have water before them. A friend of mine, to whom, the other day, I gave this advice, directed his servant to adopt it. The servant shook his head, aud said. he thought he knew as well as Mr Cartle(18e wnen nis horses required water and how much. The owner, in reply, told his servant thit might be ao, and he must allow his h rses to drink as often and as freely hs he did himself. English farmer't Journal. A PIckod-Up Dinner. Nellie Wick, in the Ohio Farmer, s-eis forth what a lired and cross housekeeper got for dinner one diy when house-cleaning wa9 in " full blast," as follows : In the tirst place she made a big johnny -cake, but of course something must come before that something appetizing and hearty nd there were four to eat it 8he couldn't fctand on her feet another minute, so she threw herself on the lounge, and calleu her little girl, nine years old : " Bes-ie, is there any cold meat in the pantry V" "Yes, ma'am; two little pieces of boiled beef not a quarter enough for dinner." u Get the chopping-bowl and knife and chop it fine " Bessde did it, " Is there any cold potato ?" "A few little onts." " Chop them up nicely with the meat. And is there any bread except the small loaf saved for tea f " " Yes, ma some broken pieces and nice crusts." 44 Moisten them with a little water, and chop with the rest." " It's done, mamma." " Now take an egg or if they are plenty, take two beat them and stir wi-h the rest. Is there any other eatable thing in the pantry f ' " Just some butter and cheese; that's all." " Put in a email lump of butter, and let the cheese go." " It's done. What a funny mess, mamma !" M Very funny. Is there enough for dinner, do you think?" " I guess not, ma, if you and I eat any."
