Tni Prohibit uiiats propose hereafter

They have been deceived repeatedly and I
basely deceived bv the Republican party,
and openly and squarely opposed by the
Democratic patty, and will henceforth
steeer char of both.
IT seems almost incredible, yet it i: a
fact, that there is in no European country
anything on the plan of the Adams Ex
press Company. Several Americans are
now in Ureas Britain with the purpose of
establishing just such an institution on
their ra.lroads. The Europeans seem in
different to great speed in suel. tilings. A
day or two in the arrival of a parcel
.seems lo make little difference. They
are inde bled to us for street railroads and
various other trifles of this kind and will

can't get in until others are hur

MAHONE, THE KEl'Ultl-ICAN LEADER.
The two greatest Republican leaders of
the day, are Mahone and Mosby, two of
the greatest Confederate heroes, who for
a long time after the war, wore their Con
federate military caps and cockades on
all occasions as public symbols of their
undying devotion to the " lost cause."
Alalione, now the grout Republican leader
of the State of Virginia, is a candidate for
Governor, and the supreme dispenser of
the patronage of the Republican adminis
tration. lie has in his favor the weight
of the Federal power, notwithstanding
lie is the incarnation of all that is dis
j graceful and dangerous to American poli
| tics. His election to the Governorship of
Virginia would be a lasting shame upon
' the State's political escutcheon.
Every effort will be made by the Ad
ministration to elect tlie man whose un
dying devotion to the "lost cause" lias
now been transferred to the Republican
cause. Every effort will be made to per
lect the Republican machinery both in
! Eastern auii Western Vnginia. Senator
i Quay and Assistant Postmaster-General
Clarkson have been operating in West
Virginia as well as in East Virginia,
j Nothing will be left undone to elect the
great Confederate General, now a great Re
publican leader. Who would have sup
posed that the great Confederate leader
of Virginia, would become Virginia's
great Republican leader. .Mahone a Re
publican leader. The whirligig of politics
make strange bed fellows.
JolmS. Wise in. the Chicago Convention
predicted that "the Republican party
could only carry Virginia in case of seud
j ing. .Mahone to Europe or to hell.'
Mahone, was not sent to either place and
is still in Virginia, and Mr. Wise's pridic
tion will now be tested.
80-HA NCR OF A BANKBttPCY COURT,

The records of the Bankruptcy Court of
Cleveland, of the Northern Discriet of
Ohio for the year 1878 bear the petition
in bankruptcy of one John Hester. The
Hester case, as a was called, was the
most interesting uud-romantic one ever
brought before ilie court of this district.
The story is related to the writer by the
Register of the Court at that lime H as
follows:
John lb ster was a well In-do farmer of
Huron county. OHIO. He hud one pretty
daughter, WHO was sent to Oberliu to
school. There she attracted the attention
of an in lamed youth from Michigan,
whose wealthy parents had in.nracted
ldm to the relorunitury energies of Ober
liu, and i o si.oner had the youth declared
his sudden passion than, without waiting
fo* i.e snncth II of the Michi
gan puren's, >tie hied him to
her fallal's home in Huron county, and
married lim on the instant. The young

HOME AND HOUSEWIFE. 1
TUK VARIOUS USES A lIOUSKJ9IFJ7
fJAS FOR PAPER.

Valuable Hint* In (be Mutter She

| Iler When She Woo* the iocl of Sleep.
■ Recipe* for Summer Drink*.
I do not purpoeo to spoak of tho many
useful and wonderful articles that are
' manufactured from paper, but merely of
the valuable uses to which it can be put
by the housekeeper, says a corrospon-
I dent in the "N. Y. Mail and Express."
' Few housekeepers have timo to black
j their stoves every day, or even every
; week. Muny wash them in oithor clear
' water or dish water. This keeps them
clean, but they look very brown. After j
a stovo has been once thoroughly black- |
ed, it can be kept looking perfectly
well for a longtime by rubbing it with |
paper every morning.
If I occasionally hnd a spot of gravy
or fruit juice that tho paper will not take j
off, I rub it with a wet cloth, but do not j
put on water enough to take off the j
blacking. 1 find that rubbing with paper !
is a much nicer way of keeping the out- j
side of my tea kettle, coffee pot and tea j
pot bright and clean than tho old .way ol
washing them in suds. The inside of t
coffee and tea pots should bo rinsed in
clear water and never in the dish |
wa'er.
Subbing with dry paper is also the |
best way of polishing knives, spoons aud j
tinware after scouring. This saves wet
ting !he knife handles. If a little Hour
be held on the paper in rubbing tinware
and spoons, they shine like now silver.
For polishing windows, mirrors, lamp
chimneys, etc., I always use paper in
preference to a dry cloth.
Preserves and pickles keep much bet
tor if brown paper instead of a cloth is
tied over the jar. Canned fruit is not so
apt to mold, if a piece of writing paper,
cut to lit tho can, is laid directly on top
of tho fruit.
Paper is much better to put under a
carpet than straw. It Is warmer, thin- j
uer, and makes loss noise when one |
walks over it. A fair carpet can be j
made for a room that is not in constant |
use, by pasting several thicknesses of j
newspaper on the iloor, over them a ,
layer of wall paper, and giving it u coat j
of varnish. In cold weather I have often j
placed newspaper between my bod I
quilts, knowing that two thicknesses of [
paper are as warm as a quilt. If it is !
necessary to step upon a chair, always |
lay a paper on it; this saves rubbing 1
the varnish.

INDIANAPOLIS SOL- was spread ov-
DIERS' MONUMENT, ery w Here, and
many handsome decorations w-oro seen.
President Harrison was in attendance
and this fact adued greatly to tho eu
thusiasm of the people. The procession
of old soldiers, with which tho cere
monies l egan, was an hour and a half
in passing the reviewing stand.
The laying of the corner-otouo oi too
soldiers' monument in Indianapolis is
one of tho result or a movement I licit has
been in progress in Indiana for many
yeurs. As long ago as 1875 the Hrst step
was taken. It was at a reunion of the
soldiers of the state,
j Years later the work was taken up by
the Grand Army of the Republic, and in
j I>.S7 $'22,000 had been raised for the pro
ject, of which $lO,OOO was a gift from the
city of Indianapolis. The deadlock leg
islature of that year was induced to pass
a bill appropriating $200,000 for tlie
erection of tho monument. A commit
■ too was appointed, with George J. Langs
dale, a newspaper editor, as president,
and one of tlie meml era was Bun M.
Ban -dell, who was recently appointed
United States Marshal for the Bislrict of
Columbia. Gen. Harrison was among
, the most urgent suppoitcrs of the pro
: ject.
Men of the most extensive knowledge
of monument building were called into
consultation and architects and sculp
tors throughout the world were invited
to offer plans and specifications. There
were -eventy competitors, nearly ull
men of fame for great achievements, aud
from among the number the plans of
Eiuuo Soli m Itz, the Berlin sculpt or, were
chosen a- the most suitable. Work upon
the structure was begun a year ago, and
less th .n twenty-five feet of the base,
; which will be sixty-eight feet in height,
lias been completed. The work can not
be tini-hod, it is thought, before the fall
0M8,)2.
'i he site of the m'.nnmeni. is the Gov
ernor's circle, a round square, situate i
precisely in 'he centre of the "City of
[ Concentric Circles." The dimensions ol
tho structure are as loliows: Heigh!.
2(18 feet; diameter of circle, 1112 leet; di
ameter of foundation and terrace, 110
feet.; height of terrace, 11 feet; height of
pedestal, 59 feet; height of shaft. 149
i'eet; height of lanterns, 21 feet; height
of victory statue, 2* feet; aiametcr of
base, (58 feet; diameter of pedestal, 40
foot; diameter of shaft, 22 feet to 12
feet. The sculptured figures are com
memorative of different periods of tho
stn'e's history aud development.
The monument will be built of light
gray volitic limestone from Indiana quar
ties. Gn the north and south sides will
be wide 6tcps of stone seventy feet in
length leading to the platform of the ter
race. from which the interior is readied
by big bronze doors. Above these doors
nil large tablets will be inscriptions com
•lemorafiv.' of tho purt borne in tlie war
I liv tin- different counties, and above the
; lu. icls is the ile-• no'lon of deoi utiou:
"To Indiana's silent* victors, by a grate
ful tate,'
When completed it will, with one ex
ception, be the highest monument in the
world, i ho Washington mouiimeir, alone,
being higher. The next below In liana's
structure and tlie third in li igiit, is ihe
Bunker Hill monument of Mussachu
i etts.
Previous to proceeding to tho site of
the monument, the president hold n pub
lic reception and shook hands with every
man, woman aud child ihal passed him.
t''req ently sonic veteran would halt to
inform him of tho number of his regi
ment and to recall some incident of bat
tle the president was expected to re
member. "i wa- iu your rea m.-nt, g -u
-cral," was a roma k " at wa- frequently
heard, and it always meant an extra
handshake with the veteran.
Two lines of people ;ins-cd the presi
dent. and it is estimated that in an hour
about 12,000 people viewed the nation's
executive, he giving the usual handshake
to fully 5,000. There worn many promi
nent men from all ; arts of the stato in
line.
The ceremonies included n speech bv
the president, and the vast crowd cheered
tlie distinguished speaker at every oppor
tunity. In the cour.-e of his remarks, he
said :
■ I did no' expect, to ntake an address
on this occasiou. It would have been

"There have been few occasions in the
history of our state so full of interest., so

e now witness. The suggestion that a
monument should be bunded to com
memorate the valor and heroism of the
soldiers of Indiana, who gave their lives
for the flag, at.'.ra ded my interest from

something to
take Its place. Among the light and re
freshing drinks which will "cheer but
not inobriate" there are various shrubs,
cordials and many varieties of small
beer. An excellent recipe for hop beer
in quantity is the following, which makes
a refreshing and pleasant beverage, *
i especially useful in country homes:
J Hor BEER I.—For one barrel of beer,
j use one pound of hops and one-half
pound each of ginger and allspice, l'ut
1 in a bag and boil for half a day, then
1 pour the liquid iaa barrel or keg and udd
i one gallon of molasses and a pint of
] good yesst. It is improved by adding
[ sarsapariila, dandelion and burdock
' roots. If those aie used chop them anil
, 1 hoi! a long time to extract the strength.
| then add to the other ingredients, 'ill* •
beer requires a beer keg or barrel to hold
! it and should stand about two days be
-1 fore it is ready for use. It is better to
: make a half barrol at a time.
. The following method of making hop
j beer was in high favor over a half cen
tury ago for 1 find it In several family
| recipe hooks of an early date :
j Hoi> BEER. 2. Put to six ounces of
\ hops live quarts of water, and boil them
three hours, then strain off the liquor
and put to the hops four quarts more of
j water, a teacupful of ginger, and boil the
| hops three hours longer. Strain and <
I mix it with the rest of the liquors, and
-t.ir in a couple of quarts of molasses.
1 T ike about half a pound of bread ami
I brown it very slowly; when brown and
d'-y put it in the liquor to enrich the
' -i r. Busked bread is the best for this
j uurposo, but a loaf of bread cut in slices
! ami toasted till brittle will do very well,
i'lien rusked bread is used, pound it lino
and brown it in a pot as you would coffee,
' .-.lii ring constantly. When the hot
liquor cools so as to bo just lukewarm,
add a pint of new yeast that has no sait
in it. (Here let mo say that ail oltic
time recipes make especial mention that
yeast without salt should be used.) Keep
the beer covered in a temperate sltua- *
lion until It has ceased fermenting,
1 which is ascertaired by the subsiding of
the froth ; turn It off carefully into a beer
leg or buttles. The beer should not be
I forked very tighter it will burst the bot
tles. Keep it in a cool place.
BEER OF ESSENTIA I. DIES. Mix a
c <upie of quarts of boiling water with a
pint and a half of molasses. Stir in live
pmrtsof cold water, then add ten drops
the oil of assafras, *.en of spruce iif-
of winter-given and a teaspoon:til of
■s-ence of ginger. When lukewarm put
in a half-pint of fresh, lively yeast.
' A.ier feriueuta'ion, bottle and cork it
nud keep it in a cool place.
SPRING BEER.—Take n smail bun-h of
all or part of the following: Sweet :ern,
sarsapariila, winieigrcen. sassafras,
mince's pine, and spice 'nod. Boil with
i wo or tlirmj oucoen of hops to three or
sir gallons of water an I two or three
■uv potatoes pared ami cut in slices. The
I'-ngth of the roe: , and hops is ch
ained more thoroughly by boiling them
m separate waters, for v.hen the liquor
is strongly saturated with hops it will
rather bind up the roots than extract
tueir juices. The root- hou id he boiled
live or six hours; the liquor should then >
be strained uu-1 a quart . lolassos put
,i> three gallons of tim h-vr. If you wish
in huia the beer very rich, brown naif a
pound of bread and put in the liquor.
When just lukewarm put in a pine of
lively yeast, that has no salt in it—the
salt has a louden , ok op it from fer
menting. Keep in a temperate situa
ion, covered over out not so tight as to
exclude the air entirely or it will not
work. When fermented keep in a tight
j eg or bottle and cork.
