THE 1'RESTIGE OF VICTOR Y.
Dill, Rosa, Fcrtic, nd Africa. Thio
ls' a uplcndid combination personally
and in'oiri-afiuicalry, and will meet the
dt'ttiundo ot the people in all paru of
tho great tommouwualtb. Andrew 11.
Dill huti been four times before Ihe peo
ple as a cundidato for the House and
Senate in Republican districts, and has
never been dcl't'ated. His popularity
has increased with each year of his
public servico, until it has spread
throughout the entire Slate. The dis
trict which ho now represents in the
Senate, was constructed to return a
Republican, but it was not ' proof
against tbe popularity ol Andrew 11.
Dill. . v nder bis influence and auspices
tbo district bos become soundly and
safely Democratic. This is a presage
ot victory, uenry id. lloyt, tne op
ponent of Andrew Ii. Dill fortiovernor,
on the other hand, has been beaten on
the only two occasions in which be
was before the people, once as a can
didate for District Attorney, and onco
as a candidate for Additional Law
Judge in Luzerne county. It will not
do to sur that tho odds were too heavy
against him. They are not grtatur
Umn thofo against his Democratic
competitor. While lloyt was beaten
in Luzerne, whose politics he has so
otten manipulated, Iielcbum, Harding,
Shoemaker, I'aync, and olbor Repuj)
licans have been elected. This is an
omen of defeat.'
iloury V. Ross, the nominee for the
Supreme Bench, is President Judgo ot
the Thirty-eighth judicial district, con
sistingof thelurge and populous county
of Montgomery. In tho Tenth Legion
bis name is a tower ol strength. 1 ho
unanimity with which tho Democracy
of his portion of tbe State demanded
bis nomination in tbe present and
former Slute Conventions bears evi
dence of his popularity. He is
regunled as one ot the ablest and
most accomplished Jurists in the Com
monwealth, and he will prove a worthy
colleague of J tidge Trunkey. Against
him is James P. Mterrelt, ol Allegheny
county, who enters the content with
tbe burden ot lust yrur s detent, and
Willi the addiliiinul burden ol having
intrigued to ptixli aside the venerable
chic! justice. This is another presage
of deleut fur the Cameron ticket.
John Kerlig, the candidate lor Lieu
tenunt Governor, represents the county
ot Crawford in tho Slate Senate, hav
ing been elected over a pnptilur op
ponent in that Republican stronghold,
lie is not a politician, but a business
man of experience. An oil prodilcor
binibclf, the people in tbo oil regions
have In his nomination a Mill further
giiaruntco ol the good futlh of the
Democratic purty in regard to their
Legislature. Senator Stono, his op
ponent, was nominated by the t'ltm-
eronians in the hope that he would be
uhlu to arrest tbe tido ot indignation
which hus arisen in the oil regions, on
account of tho hostility of the Repub
licans in thu Legislature to thoir Inter
ests. But while Stone could not bring
a Republican Senator beyond the lim
its ol tho oil regions to tho support or
tbe free pipe bill, nearly a 1 the Dem
ocratic Senators stood with Fertig lor
the measure. Tba nomination ct Fer
ligcomplotcly effaces all the advantage
which thoCamoronians hoped to draw
Irom the candidacy of Stone.
For Secretary of Internal Affairs,
the candidate of the Convention is J.
Simpson Africa, of Huntingdon county,
who has been practically at the head
of that department ever since lis or-
? animation undor General McCandless.
lis punctuality, correctness, methodi
cal habits of business, and affability
combing to make him a model official.
His popularity, too, has boon fully
tested, Ho was elected a member of
the Legislature' from the county of
Huntingdon when tbo county gavo a
Republican majority of a tlionsand,
and when all his associates on the tick
et wore tlcfeatod.
Tho candidates of tho Democratic
Convention thus enter tbo field with
tho prostige of victory. Dill, lioss,
Fertig and Africa have never been
beaten botoro tho people. Throe of
thorn unvo heen successful in strong
Keptiblicart districts. The Convention
has done nolilr. It has nlacod before
the people of Pennsylvania the strong
est and best 'ticket alike In Hs pertonnel
and its geographical position that has
been nominated in a generation. 1 Dill,
Ross, Fertig and Africa form a quadri
lateral which will defy all the efforts
of the Cameron combination to break
it. Jlarrinlmrii Patriot.
HOW SHE FOOLED MM,
John Sandfcript's wile went to bed
on I lie night lictoto the '1st of April
with tier mind made up to liiol the old
man next duy or die in tho attempt. In
previous years she hud found John im
perious to jokes ol all Rinds, and she
realized the augcan task on tho mor
row. With bor mind full of the self
imposed task she went to sleep. At
my light sho awoke at once and began
lo operate, ilcr victim was lying with
bis lack lo her, apparently in a sound,
sleep. She poked bim vigorously in
tho ribs with her short elbow and claw,
ed his shins with ber toe-nails, prepar
atory to stalling him with a half-whia
perod warning.
"John on, John there s somo one
ringing tho door bell."
. '-Let 'im ring," was Iho sleepy re
sponse.
"Jiut, John, maybe Its loo man on
tho next square,, who owes you thai
1100, come to pay you."
"So, 'taint noither," said John wilb
a yawn. .
"But yon don't (mow, and il moy be
that Tory man." ;
"1 guess not, for he's buried; died
last week. Besides old woman, your
earsdecoiva you. 1 took the beli-kuob
off lost nigbl to fool April foolers."
Heavens 1 what mesa she had mado
of it to begin with I But when Iho old
man rolled out of bed, yawned and
picked np hia paota, she rammod the
sheet in her mouth to plug up her
laughter.
' Oh, Jcminyl won't hs tumble when
he put bis loot in them pania and finds
the leg sewed tip ?" she said to borself.
Judge ol ber rage when tho provok
ed brute innocently carriod the block
aded breeches to tba wardrobe and In
quired : ,
"Nancy, whore's them chocolate
colored pants 1 had on last week ?" -
"Pat on tba ones you have in your
hands, John ; wbala, tbe matter WHO
them t"
"I burst button off yesterday, and
they need mendiug." .
At breakfast she poured him out a
nica cup of ooffea and sweetened il
with two spoonfuls of salt. y
"Vol needn't give ma any coffee,"
he said, keep that yourself."
"Why, John, wbal'a tha matter T

When ha came homo to dinner she
had prepared him a neatly directed en
velope with a blank paper enclosed.
Ho eyed it auspiciously, and throwing
it into tha fire, said :
"1 know that handwriting. It's
from that crazy lunatio who wants me
to vote for him to morrow. So much
for bis letter."
Jn the evening sbo disguised herself
in one of ber husband a old suits, and
como to the door to bog for charity.
"Please give mo a nickel to buy some
bread ?"
"(ret out, or I'll give you a nickel
with my boot." . -i
"But air, consider. I'm starving."
"The dickona you are ! Now, I'll

to the station house.
Just as tbo "peeler" grabbed tho
supposed beggar by tho back of tho
neck a shrill voice yelled :
"John I John! you wouldn't send
your wife to tbe station houso, would
you ?" -
"The dcuco 1 wouidn t, was tno cool
responso. "Anybody who lies to me
about my door bell, sews up my trous
ers, puts salt in my coffoo, writes mo
anonymous notes, and steals my clothes
ought to go to the penitentiary for

"But bow did yon know "
"If you women wouldn't talk in your
shop you might keep a .tecrct onco in

when sbo attempts an April fool Joke,
she intends to sit up ull tho night
previous.

Tho dictionary-niukur says tho hor
net is a " lurge brown wasp ot un ex
tremely pugnacious disposition." Ho
is certainly all that und something
more. 1 Iioul'Ii he usually minds Ins

Bion is nino points in the law and one
or two to spare. Whoever trespasses
on his premises stands six chances in

Undor theso circumstances, when
you find a hornet's nest il is always
sulcst tor you to get behind a tree, and
let tho other fellow throw clubs at tho
hornets. It is not at nil funny to got
stung yourself, but it is immensely
funny to seo another man get stung.
Wore 1 a composer Ol proverbs, 1
should say, it ia better to kiss your
sweolbeart than to havo a hornet get
up your trowser'a leg. Personally 1
should rather keep school and board
round than be stung by hornets.
Borne men who are smart in other
respects don't seem to understand how
to manage those representatives ol en
tomology. I have seen men who knew
enough lo keep a hotel that couldn t
boss a single hornet.
It is very trying to a person a verbal
morality to meet in buttle and be van
quished by one or several of theso in
sects. Should you. ever happen to no

RULES FOR MAKING GOOD
BREAI.
Dr. Uolbrook gives to tho readors of
that excellent publication, tbe JSew
York HVfAy Sim, somo useful sugges
tions on tho important subject of bread
makinir, which wo transfer to our col
umns. Wo know that while many of
our fair readers need no such advice,
there aro others who may profitably
turn their attention to learning how
to make good bread. Without good
bread in tho household, no mattor now
Good tho meal iu other respects, the
ousowifo is exposed to sovere criti
cism. Indeed, the quality of tho broad,
with few exceptions, may be looked
on as an index to tbo good or bad
management, and Industry, or tho ab
sence of it, in tho household.
"With good flour, A good oven, and
a good, sensible, uutirusled cook, we
can be pretty sure of good, wholesome
bread. Yoast bread is considered tbe
standard bread, and is, perhaps, more
generally found on ovory lablo than
any oilier kind. Honce it is import
ant to know how lo make good, sweet,
wholesome yeast bread, (iocd flour
is the first indispensable; then good,
lively yeast, cither yeast cakos or bot
tled ; the former is preferable in all re
spects. Then, of courso, there must
bo the proper materials to work with.
A bread bowl or pan tho pan is easi
est kept clean ; a stone or earthen jar
for setting tbs sponge ; a sieve flour
should always be silted before making
bread of any kind ; first, to be sure
that it is perfectly clean ; Bocondly,
sifting enlivens and aerates the flour,
and in u lies bdth mixing and rising
easier and quicker; a cleun, white
cloth to cover ibe dough, and a woolen
blanket to lioep Iho dough of oven tern
peruttiio while rising; baking pans,
lurge and shallow, a largo, strong
spoon for stirring, and a little melted
suet or fresh butter for oiling the pans;
never use poor butter. If you want
shortening, rich milk or creum scalded
und cooled will answer tho purpose,
and bo most wholesome. But thor
ough kneuding is better still, and
should always bo done effectually.
Seulding a portion of tho flour makes
a sweeter bread and speeds the work.
Wuter, milk or bolter milk may be
poured boiling hot on a quart or two
of the flour, stirring well, and cooling
lo a moderate temperature beloro add
ing the yeast this makes tho sponge
Scalded flour always makes a little
durker bread, unless wo use butler
milk, which makes a rich, creamy,
broad. Yeast is fermented flour or
meal the first stagog of decomposition
or decay.
"Understand this, evory baker will
comprehend tho necessity of regulating
tho extent of tho fermentation with the
greatest caro; for a spongo or bread
fermented or 'raised' to long is decom
posing, spoiling actnally rotting I
1'bis is the languago of an experienced
English baker lo us only a few days
ago, during a talk about tbe delicate,
foamy loaves, 'ycasted to death,' which
so many families are eating and calling
'tho stuff of life,' quite discarding the
firm, sweet, substantial, homo-made
loaf which our mothors and grand
mothers kneaded with thoir own skill
ed hands. Bread making should stand
at tha head of domestic accomplish
ments, sinco the health and happiness
of the family depend incalculably upon
good bread ; tbero comes a time io
every true, thoughtful woman's experi
ence, when sbo is glad she can make
nico, swcot loaves, lree from soda, alum,
and other injurious ingredients, or an
earnest rcgrot that she neglected or
was so unfortunate as not to have boon
taught at least, what are tho requisites
ot good broad making. t'tn and I'low.
rOMPEll.
Pompeii was nothing but a small
provincial town, mimicking the luxu
ries and vices of tho capital a retreat
for banished voluptuaries, pensioned
officers and moraliting poets. It Would
be ridiculous to expect to find within
its wulls any traces of tho ancient
grandeur of antique Rome. Taste, in
ornamentation, skill in design, we look
tor and find and in the City of the
Dead we discover, as we might oxpcot
to do, mora traces of ths Titans ; tl.c
buildings of Pompeii and lioreiilaiieiini,
though mere toy-houses in comparison,
ni,or to be tbe work of men nearly
our own rank in creation. We find
still standing at Pompeii what at Rome
are mere ruins we mean tbo theatres,
Basilica and Forum. Pompeii might
be a city from Which the inhabitants
hud but just fled. It wants only roof's
to tho houses and iho sound of life
within the chambers to realise tho
Odes ol Horace or the Satires of J live
nal. Tbo traveler can scarcely believe
that eighteen centuries have passed
since the red ruin of Vesuvius jell on
these roofs and drove out thoir inhab
itunts. The following condensation of
ths last survey of Pompeii will be in
teresting to our readers. Tho edifices
of the town aro built in the Greek
stylo, modified by Roman customs
They aro generally small, but nothing
is forgotten to ronder them convenient.
The decoration is in so uniform a tasto,
that Masos was at first inclined to
think that it was the work of the same
artists, directed by nno and tho same
man. Marbles are found rarely , except
in tho temples and theatres ; the chief
decorations being mural paintings,
either mosaio or stucco arubosquos.
The most strking feature of the city
is tho profusion ol ornamental dotail
oven in tho meanest houso. Tho walls
aro painted in fresco, black, red, yel
low, bluo, or green. The arabosques
are painted on dry ground, and are
not encaustic Mosaic pavements wore
universal in this city of artists and art
lovers. The simplest are white, with
black bordors ; others are labyrinths of
white and black rubes, and a few ars'
richly colored. Tbe houses are flimsy,
built of lava, brick and petrified con
crete Tbe wooden planks have all
perished ; and Iron was often used by.
the Pompeians where tho richer Ro
mans would have bronze. The streets
were narrow in order to keep out tho
sun, and this was no inconvenience, as
ths chariots were lew and small, and
horses and mules were used as boasts
of burden. The paving is of brick,
asphalto and oven marble and mosaio.
Tbe roads wore paved with hugo poly
gons, of lava, clumped with iron, and
filled up with loess granite, marblo
and flints. In tbe rainy season of De
cember and January, tho si roots mast
havo become mors torrents. Uigb
stepping stones are still found to ena
ble passengors to cross. Beloro the
shop doors are freqtisntly found blocks
of stone, pierced with holes, which
wore nsed to fasten bones. At the
angle ol roost of tbs streets aro found
fountains ; these are ornamented wilb
rebels and carved masks. Tbe house
walls facing tho streets ara covered
witb innumerable inscriptions, votive or
secular, with advertisements of shows
and fights, lampoons and caricatures.

THE EASTERN QUESTION A
MIGHTY CONFLICT OF
RACES.
There aro tbreo groat racos or fami

negro, io , on this continent, but races
Latin, (iermanicand Slavonian, with
outlying fragmonts indefinable, as in
the British Islands, The latin, or Pel
asgio, comprising Greece, Rome, Mace
donia, in antiquo times, and in modern
times, Italian, Fronch and Spanish, is
tho groatost of all ; it furnishes tbe
throe grand men of all time Alexan
der, Cassar and Napoleon, and its he
roes, s la teamen, scholars and artists
may ba said to have made the world
all it is or has boon, or iscvor likely to

the temperate latitudes, the centra of
cxistonco ot tbe great, historic, master,
or civilized Caucasian. Noxt come the
Germanic, in the very heart ol Europo,
and for tbo first time in throe thousand
years having caught Francs napping,
overwhelmed it in 1870, and though,
comparatively speaking, it has made
but little history, it now assumes to
be the dominant rttco, but, in all rea
sonable probability, will go down un
der tho fiery chivalry and glorious
manhood of the Frank, who, in all
past time, has mado brief work of the
(iorman. Finally, thero ia the great
Slavonian family, barely known lo his
tory, but really outnumbering cither
Latin or Gonnnnic, and what seems a
tremendous solecism, known only in
out times for its brutal serfdom nnd
widespread barbarisms, was really, a
thousand yoars ago, the finest peoplo
in Europo.
It had a system of communes every
communo or district governed itself,
and tbe wholo poople wore free and
took part in tba communul manage
ment, and if Gibbon is right, il would
scorn that there wore no neighborhood
conflicts, and without any pronounced
feudalism, everything was so natural,
so peaceful, so in accord with their in
stincts and nuturul wants, that there
wero no wars among them, or at loas(
nono of sufficient importance to bo
recorded in history. Hut then came
ihe Tartar conquest, thoso mighty no
madio hordes of Central Asia, and
trampled under the foot of thoir horses
not only Moscow, and Kiow, and all
tho vast population ot Russia propor.but
the entiro Slavonic family, and when,
alter a century or two, the vast Tartar
sea receded antt their land recovered,
tho Slavoniun masses seem to have lost
tbo faculty and spirit ot self-govern
ment, and innumerable .petty tyrants
or nobles succeeding the great .Mogul
chief's, hnvo, until recently, ruled them
as serfs. Hut who shall say what the
present war may end in a war to
drive bock tho lurkish hordes from
Europo, and as tbo Russian serfs aro
now tree, tho great Slavonian fumily
havo, no doubt, a great and glorious
future beloro them.
PASTURES AND BUTTER.
The local requisites for the manutac
ture of good butter are pure air, oold,
running wator, and a suflicioncy of
sweet, nutritious berbage. fresh,
juicy, rich toed will enhance both ths
quality and quantity ol milk and but
ler. 1 bs rcquisitos named belong gen
erally to somewhat elevated or hilly
country, ofl limes, abounding in springs
ol cold wator and drained by clear
rippling streams flowing over gravelly
or rocky beds constitutes tbe predomi
nating character ol tho best dairying
districts ol our groat country, so fa
mous for its dairy products. On such
land the best and sweotost natural
grasses aro producod In the groatost
luxuriance, and abound in tho best
milk-producing qualities.
Another essential is a change of pas
ture. This is contrary to tho teach
ings of somo; but from actual oxperi
onco wo are able to say it is a very
important item in tho list of necessa
ries required tor tho bountcons supply
ot milk and wholesale production of
gilt edged butter. If, in ebanging
from one pasture to another, iho
grasses aro no better either in quanti
ty or quality, still a marked difference
is lotind in the yield of milk. Cows
scom to tire of nno place They love
to roam nnd feed in somo new enclos
ure occasionally. Everything seems
to tasto sweeter to them, and thoy
tuke hold with a new relish of the ten
der grass before them. A change,
therefore, should bo mado from one
pasture to another about overy ten
days or two weeks.
Cows, to yield lo host returns, should
always have ready accoss to good wa
ter. This is nlmostindispensahle, for
it is next to Impossible to make good
butter without an abundant supply of
pnru wuter. Thoso having pastures,
wben tho water fails in a dry time,
have probably observed how rapidly
their cows shrink in their nfilk when
water is scarce and the animals do not
got their tisuul supply, inducing cows
to drink large quantities of water will
increase tbo flow of milk, certainly,
but to what extont tho quantity of
milk may bo Increased, without injury
to the quality, by induoiiig tho animal
to take an abundant supply of the
liquid wo are not prepared to say.
liut wo are satisfied that milk of good
quality may bo increased by this
method.

DOSING..
There aro a host of people who seem
to have little else to do but to consider
their physical condition and adminis
ter doses lor its improvement; peoplo
who are positively diseipnted and in
temperate in their usj of modicines,
and appear to think this world not so
much a rale oi tears as oi arugs; peo
ple to whom a now proscription affords
a delight only equaled by that which
a savant would derive from the posses
sion of a bono of the extinct megathe
rium. It they ara In tho least under

to allow Nature to work out hor own

and making them the more difficult

Ons of ths peculiar pleasures of such
persons consists in persusding others
to try their methods of cure. The
most delicate compliment you. can pay
them is to swallow some nauseating
mixture upon their recommendation,
which all the while bears strong
family likeness to that of those who,

II' Y WOMEN CANT THROW A
STONE.
Tho practice ol'awholo life time will
not enable a woman to throw a stono
with graco and accuracy. It was one
of the first and most knotty physiolog
ical problems which presented itsell lo
our youthful mind why our big sister,
when she tried to throw a snowball at
us, almost invariably sent it careering
over tbo top ol the bouse, while we, in
turn, could pop hor 'in the ear almost
eveiy time, it may be that we iook
a mean advantage ot this disc"mina-
tion of nattiro in our behalf against our
sistor, and it may be that we improvod
Ibe opportunity to tako hor fore and aft
Whenever sue came within bring dis
tance. But that ia neither here nor
thors. As the time passed on we saw
that other fellows' sisters labored under
about the same disadvantages that
ours did in the mattor of throwing any
kind nf a missile. Why this marked
and unmistakable difference existed we
never learned until, at a somewhat ad
vanced period, we dove into a book oi
physiology, nnd learned that the clav.
iclo, or collar bone, in the anatomy of
a female, is some inches longer and set
somo degrees lower down than in tho
masculine frame. This long, crooked,
awkward bone interferes with the full
and trco action of tho shoulder, and
that's why a girl cannot throw a stone.
The design of this sort of thing is still
unexplained to our entiro satisfaction
Wo have developed a pet theory of
our own, however, that an all wise
and beneficent Providence, foreseeing
that thoie would bo rolling-pins and
stove hooks, and pot-lids, and hot wa
ter in tho world, set the woman's clav
icle down a hitch or two for tho safe
ty ol men.
Tux 1'leasi hs or Faruiku. It is a
pleasure lo an intelligent man to be
tho owner ol a eood lurra and to carry
on tho business of farming, if dono
properly. No other pursuit is so well
adapted to afford health and happiness.

ing, tho stock improving in value, the
truit trees bearing their scarlet and
golden harvests, and everything pros
pering, as it generally will under wise
manugoment, attords any good man
pleasure.
But tha lurmcr, to enjoy farming,
must manage his business well. He
must plan wisely snd execnto prompt
ly. He must bo a sort ot military man
in this respect. He must lay the plan
of bis campaign at this season of the
year, and carry it out as thoroughly as
possible. To enjoy farming, one wants
tho best ot everything the best cat
tie, horses, sheep, swine, and fruits and
crops He should bo ambitious to have
tho best and should strive for it con
stantly. His crops should be put in
tbe best manner. Ho should hare tbe
neatest and beat kept meadows and
pastures, tbe finest orchards and gar
dens, and neat farm buildings, and
everything should show an air of tidi
ness and order, dictated by an intelli
gent mind.
Punishino Children. Anna O
Brackett, in the American Journal of
Education, calls the attention of teach
ers to the liability of children to be
punished or corrected without their
clearly knowing why. "lhoy may
thus perhaps understand, she adds,
"what often seems to them so incom
prehensible why a child who has
been rebuked for some disorderly con
duct repeats tbe offense almost imme
diately, giving tbe impression of will
ful and malicious wrong-doing. The
same mistake is frequently mado tn
recitations. A pupil's answer is pro
nounced wrong, and tho question pass
ed to another, wbon he docs not know
what his error is, and often fancios
that It lies in quite a different direction
from that in which il really lies. One
of tho most successful toachora we
know is almost invariably in tho habit,
after having passed a question and re
ceived a correct answer, of asking tho
pupil who has failed : "Why did I pass
that question ?" A few trials of this
simple interrogation will soon, we
think, convinco any teacher of tho
truth of what wo say. The most as
tonishing misunderstandings aro thus
continually brought to light, and wo
bocoino convinced of how double edged
a thing is this languago which wo use
so thoughtlessly and freely."
