The man­ agers of 60,000 miles have already agreed to it, and there have been prac­ tically no negative votes against the proposition. The whole country will be divided into five divisions--the Inter­ colonial, 60 degrees west from Green­ wich ; the eastern, 75 degrees west from Greenwich; the Central, 90 degrees west from Greenwich; the Mountain, 105 degrees west from Greenwich, and the Pacific, 120 degrees west from Greenwich. Each division, it will be observed, is fifteen degrees apart, which makes just one hour in time. At pres­ ent there are fifty different standards of time in use on the various roads in the country, which causes much annoyance and trouble. By the new arrangement there will be but five standards, each one hour apart, which will greatly simplify matters. The adoption of standard time does not necessarily mean the change of the clock dial from twelve hours to twenty;iour. It is thought that suggestion will meet with little favor. File Cut File* Davy Crockett was a good sort of man to let alone, and most jokers learned to treat him that way, after a few costly experiments. The following old anecdote is good enough to repeat-- to prevent its being forgotten : When Crockett w as in Washington, he was one day in a hotel, when a Sena­ tor from Massachusetts entered. Approaching the old frontiersman the latter said, "Crockett, a large body of your constituents are marching up the street; you ought- to go out to greet them." Crockett hurriedly arose and went out upon the hotel steps, when a drove of mules caught his eye. He quietly watched them antil the last one had passed, and then returned to his seat by the stove. The Massachusetts Senator was still there, and as the redoubtable Davy dropped into his chair, asked: "Well, did you see your friends?" "Oh, yes," was the response. "They are looking remarkably well, too." "Did you ascertain their destination ?" "Certainly." "And where are they going to in such a solid body ?" Crockett turned to the Senator with a quiet, calm expression, and replied: "Thev're going down to Massa­ chusetts to teach school." In Prospect. "Father, do they call you the Hon. John Johnson because yon have been in the Legislature?" "Yes, my son." There was a long pause, says the Wall Street Xews, as the father finished and sealed letter, and. then ho suddenly asked: - " Wliv. mv son?" "Oh, I didn't know whether it was "because you had been in the Legisla­ ture and held free railroad passes, or because you got a job building a $10,- 000 county jail and made $13,000 out of it. The next boy who says you are 'Hon.' because you stole $13,000 is go- ing to get licked!" " itself to food, and carry with it the evi­ dences of health and natural develop­ ment in all of its parts. Pigs which run on a range of pasture have good appetites--the fresh air and exercise q;ives them--hence they will eat a great variety of food, and much coarser than when confined in pens. Nothing need to go to waiste on a farm for need of a market. They will consume all the re­ fuse fruit, roots, pumpkins and all kinds of vegetables, which will make them grow. By extending the root patch and planting the fodder corn thinner, so that nubbins will form on it, by putting in a sweet variety, the number of pigs may be increased in proportion. The pig pasture will be ready the next year for any crop, and ten times the ad­ vantages accrue to the farmer than if the pigs are confined to close pen&, for, as the pigs are usually managed on a farm, but little manure is ever made from them.--Swine Breeders' Journal. PERSPIRATION ; EVIL CONSEQUENCES OF ITS SUPPRESSION.--Many of the dis­ eases of horses and cattle are caused by suppressed or checked perspiration; the various appearances they assume depending, perhaps, in a great me ;s- ure^pon the suddenness with which the discharge is stopped, and the state of the animal at the time it takes place. Thus, if a horse, after being heated and made to sweat by exercise, and then suffered to stand still, be exposed to a cold wind or rain, a fever, or inflamma­ tion of some internal organ will prob­ ably be the consequence; and the dis­ ease thus produced will be still more serious, if the horse's exercise has been such as to produce considerable fatigue. If, on the other hand, a cold current of air l'e admitted a to horse's body, as he stands in a stable, it will often cause a catarrh or cold. Cattle often suffer from being keep in cold, Itleak situa­ tions, particularly in the early part of spring, during the prevalence of a northwestly wind. In this case the sup­ pression of the perspiration is more gradual, and the diseases which result from it are slower in their progress, consequently more insidious in their nature; and it often happens that the animal is left in the same cold situation until the disease is incurable. It seems probable that, in these cases, the per­ spiring vessels gradually- lose their power, and that at length a total and permanent suppression* of that neces­ sary discharge takes place; hence arises consumptions, decayed liver, mesenteric obstructions, and various other com­ plaints. How necessary, therefore, it is to provide sheltered situations for the stock. How many diseases might not be saved, not only in perserving the lives of the cattle, but in avoiding the expense (too often useless, to say the least of it) of cattle-doctoring!-- Fra irie Farmer. Put all into a pan and until it boils up, tfteaMtlte off in tho soda. Boll thin and quickly. BEEF TEA.--Cut raw beef into small pieces, cover with cold water and set on the back of the stove, where it will not boil, until all the juice is extracted from th^beef. When wanted for use skim oft all the fat, strain, season, andc let it come to a boil. BAKED FISH.--Stuff it. with plain dressing; put in a pan with a little wa­ ter; salt, pepper, and butter. Baste while baking. A fish weighing four pounds will bake in an hour. Garnish with hard-boiled eggs and parsley, and serv e with drawn butter or egg sauce. OMELET.--Beht the yelks and whites of eight eggs separately until light, then beat together; add a little salt and one tablespoonful of cream. Have in the omelet pan a piece of butter; when the butter is boiling hot pour in the omelette, and shake until it begins to stiffen, and then let it brown. Fold double and serve hot. . TOMATO CHOWDER.--Slice a peck of green tomatoes, six green peppers, and four onions; strew a teacup of salt over them. In the morning turn off the wa­ ter, and put them in a kettle with vine­ gar enough to cover them, a teacup of sugar, one of grated horseradish, a table- spoonful of cloves, allspice, and cinna­ mon, each. Boil until soft. BEAN SALAD.--Cover the bottom of your salad-dish with cold boiled potatoes, sliced thin; over this spread a layer of cold baked or boiled beans, and above this a layer of onions, sliced very thin; salt and pepper each layer; heat a piece of butter the size of a wal­ nut in sufficient vinegar to cover the salad and pour over it while hot ROLLS.--Flour, two quarts; sugar, one tablespoonful; butter, one table- spoonful; one-half cup of yeast; one pint of scalded milk, or water, if milk is scarce, and a little salt. Set to rise until light; then knead until hard, and set to rise, and when wanted make in rolls. Place a piece of butter between the folds and bake in a slow oven. BEEFSTEAK PIE.--Cut the beef in slices, and slice a little raw ham; put both in a frying pan, with some butter and a small quantity of chopped onions; let them simmer together a short time on the fire or in the oven; add a little flour and enough stock to make sauce; salt, pepper; add also a few sliced po­ tatoes, and cook together for about twenty minutes; put this into a pie- dish, with a few slices of hard-boiled eggs on the top, and cover with a layer of common paste. Bake from fifteen to twenty minutes in a well-heated oven. DRIED AND CANDIED FRUITS.--We will give the rule for candying and drying cherries. The same process would be followed with other fruits. Candied fruit is prepared until it has cooled in the syrup. It must then be taken out washed in lukewarm water and dried in the mouth of the oven, not too hard; the syrup is then returned to the fire and boiled until it reaches what confec­ tioners call the "blow;" that is known when, by dipping a skimmer in the boiling syrup and blov ing through the holes, little sparkling bubbles are formed over them; the fruit is then put into it and boiled until it again reaches the "blow;" the preserving kettle is taken from the fire; the skimmer is rubbed against the side of it until the sugar begins to "grain"--that is, to grow white: the fruit is then dipped in that part of the sugar, taken out with a fork and drained on a wire grating |>vet a pan; the fruit dries quickly, and ia then ready for use or preservation by packing in boxes between layers oi paper.

A hard-working Stammer met an honest Corn down at the seashore during the hot days. "And wh-wli-wii-what have you been dud-dud-dud-doing with yourself all su- su-su-summer-summer ?" he asked, de­ liberately. The Corn waited for the end of the procession with beautiful patience. "Oh," he said, with a laugh that sounded like a mocking groan, "I have had lots of fun. Early in the spring, when the weather was damp, I settled down on a fat man with the asthma. He couldn't get down on his knees without crying, and I pre-emptied a claim a little 011 the other side of his off toe, on the outside range. Every night when he got down to have a cateh- weiglit rastle with me, I laughed till I was nearly dead. He used to lie on his back, hold his feet above his head, and slash at me with a razor. You never saw anything so funny in your life." "Oh, dud-dud-dud-dud didn't I, then ?" replied the Stammer, slowly. "You wuh-wuh-wuh-wuh-wait a mum- minute. I fooled-fooled-fooled around wuh-with a tut-teacher of elocution nun-nun-nearly all wuh-winter, and then right in the bub-bub-busy spring sulx-season I cuc-cuc-cauglit a down tut- tut-tut-town auctioneer bub-by the chuh-chuh-chin, and th-throwed the cuc crowd into cuc-convulsions suh- suh-six tut-times a week. Oh, nun-no! I dud-dud-don't h-have no good times. I lu-lu-ln-look solemn and I tut-talk slow, but I ain't so s-s-slow as I ln- look."--San Francisco Argonaut. Indian Coqjurers. The performances by the Davenport brothers and other spiritualists are clumsy compared with the arts of the far Northwest Indians. The conjurers are legion that will permit themselves to be bound, not merely hand and foot, but the whole body swathed with thongs, withes, ropes and rawhides, and afterward tied up in a net, and then re­ lease themselves almost instantly on being placed in a little "medicine lodge" of skins constructed for the purpose, the bonds being thrown out through an opening in the top, without a knot apparently disturbed. Dr. Archie Stookwell writes that he saw a medi­ cine man go through with a long series of incantations, drummings, rattlings of gourds, etc., for the relief of a con­ sumptive, lying in the centre of an or- dinafy lodge. Suddenly he announced that he had discovered the spirit that afflicted the sufferer, and thereupon, plunging his hands beneath the single blanket with which she was covered, drew forth the carcass of a full-grown wolf, and flung it with great violence against the door, greatly to the delight, mystification and satisfaction of the be­ holders. He now assured the friendf of the speedy recovery of the squaw but she died the same night, neverthe less. ' • IF you wish to know whether you art an honest man don't ask your mother, for she will be partial and blind, and don't ask yourself, for you are a verj poor judge, but seek the candid opin­ ion of the man to whom you have sold a horse, and yon will surely get at the bottom facts of th* case. Senator Mahone Addresses a letter to the Readjuster party of Virginia, In which he sums up the results of the last election aud reviews the history of the party of which he is the acknowledged leader. He recites the condition in which the people of Virginia stood at the time the Readjuster party came into power, the status of the State debt, the embarrassment of the people in the way of taxation, the absence of schools and the violation of the laws, and says that the right­ ing- of these wrongs, the correction of these evils and resistance to the old Bourbon intolerance, made a new party in Virginia necessary. A GLANCE AT THE RECORD. This party in 1881 carried the State by a majoiityof 12,000, despite the grossest mis­ representation and the disqualification of a capitation tax. For two years this State ad­ ministration has been in power and has been true to its pledges; the State debt has been settled without a taint of repudiation, and the State and the people saved frog* liability for $13,(KM,000 of falsely created principal and $33,000,000 of interest. When the Bourbons left the treasury there was $23,000 therein, with a floating debt of nearly $-*,000,000, of which $1,500,000 was due the public schools. The KoadjuSters, after two years of control, have extinguished the floating debt with the exception of $715,000, and now have a million and a half in the treasuiy. The cost of maintaining the State Government has been reduced 30 per cent., and the burdens of the people have • been lightened by the reduction of the rate of taxation from 50 to 40 per cent. Reforms have been made in the various branches of the State 4iovernment; the whipping-post has been abolished; the capita­ tion tax, which prevented the exercise of the right of suffrage by poor people, has been re­ moved, and the laws of the State have been administered without discrimination. THE PUUI.IC SL'HOOI.S. In the matter of public education the fol­ lowing statement exhibits facts which in a 1 time to come will reflect honor on the Re­ adjuster party, and. what is still better, will advance the State in thi> general enlighten­ ment which makes civilization possible: Comparing 18T» with 1ST1 the Funders by their unfriendly legislation un<l administra­ tion, reduced the number of public schools from 3,047, of which 70it were colored, to 2.491, of which but 80 were colored. They re­ duced the pupils from 131,088, of whom 3S.- S»T6 we; e colored, to 10<,0T4, of whom but 5,1208 were colored. They reduced the teachers from 3,084, of whom 501 were colored, to 501, of whom but 5)4 were colored. They re­ duced the expenditures from $587,472 for the year to $511,902. Now, compare the Roadjuster ru'e of last year with the last yeaf of Itorbon rule, and the books show the Rcadjusters have in­ creased the number of FC'HOOIS from 2,491 to 5,5s7: the number of colored schools froin 8!i to 839; the pupils from 108,074 to 257,382; the colored pupils from 3,03 to 4,538; the teachers from 2,501 to 4,538; the colored teachers from 04 to 614. The expenditures, from $ >11,902, were increased to $1,157,142. The establishment of the first State Normal school for colored teachers in the United States is another milestone planted by our party on the road of progress. The railwaw mileage In Virginia has been increased 43 per cent.; the in­ crease in freight carriage has been 82 per cent.; the increase In the number of pas­ sengers carried 78 per cent., and the gross earnings of the railroads in the State have in­ creased 88 per cent, within the last two years. This has been secured. Senator Mahone claims, by a liberal and honest policy of ad­ ministration and by the encouragement of commerce in the State. He then passes on to the recent outbreak between the races and says that when the Bourbon convention assembled at Lynch­ burg, in July last, the adoption of the color line was openly favored, and that such a plank would be introduced into the platform seemed probable until the last moment. The Chairman of the convention addressed him­ self to the white people of Virginia, and the newspapers recommended the platform adopted as a white man's platform. They made the race issue the only one of the campaign, arid brought to the support of the Democratic party all the white Hepubli- cans who were prejudiced against negro ad­ vancement. In September the leading ed­ itor of the Bourbon party announced that the Democratic plan of campaign was "to buy all the voters they could and bully the re­ mainder." This plan was carried out. As one of the prominent speakers ex- • plained, "By the gods, this is a white man's couutry, and white men shall rule or the rivers will run blood." Everything was done to arouse and inflame race prejudice, and it became necossary, as the excitement grew in­ tense, to carry out what had been intended and intimidate the blacks. The Senator then says: Arms began to pour into the-south side re­ gions, the supply of small arms in our larger cities was exhausted, and the demand ex­ tended as far as Baltimore, until one Demo­ cratic headquarters within twenty miles of Richmond had forty stands of tnuskets and the Danville region was a walking arsenal. The cry that "white men should rule or die," the announcement that a war of races was upon us, swelled in volume ami ferocity. Threats of the lives of our leaders became more common than any other argument. Murder in cold blood began In Madison county. Days before it was rejieateil In Danville, rumors of the shipment of arms filled the air, and, during the fair w eek at Richmond--long before any outbreak oc­ curred--the knowing ones were heard to whisper and mysteriously predict what 111'ght be expected at the proper time. In due time it came. With what premedi­ tation and design it came, let any impartial man who read the Bourbon press and heard the preparations made for it judge for him­ self. Who provoked it.' Who perpetrated it? Let the Bourbon " journals themselves testify. With what purpose it was |>erpe- trated let the thousands of lalse circulars turning it to political account, spread broad­ cast by the Bourbons almost IK'fore it oc­ curred, and the effect they produced, gpeak as no argument can. The massacre in Danville is dignified by nourbonisin with the name of riot. The facts, as gathered Iroin all sources, are that upon Saturday evening preceding the election, just after the Danville negroes had received their weekly pay and were buying their Sunday supplies in a crowded market-place, a white man appeared, had an altercation with a ne­ gro and whipped him. The fight was ended, and no other negroes came to tho rescue of the punished man. * But the programme was interrupted by this circumstance. An armed gathering of the "best peoplo" of the "best and bravest" was conveniently near, and In a moment a murderous throng poured out of the building where they were assembled, opening a murderous fire upon the unarmed, defenseless, and Hying negroes. How many were killed no one knows, and no one will probably learn the truth, for the condition of things still in Danville is such that the truth cannot be learned. That they were shot in the backs like dogs while run­ ning away; that no pistol shot was fired by a black man; that no white man was injured, save by his own friends; that for days the poor victims were found dead in alleys, in warehouses, and under houses, like poisoned rats that had crawled away to die; that the negroes fled to the woods, to the State of North Carolina, to the four winds of heaven; these are a few of the facts of this bloody, wholesale murder, which was telegraphed far and near by Bourbons as an insolent upris­ ing- of the blacks against tho whites. Simultaneously with theee occurrences the crack of the Bourbon weapon engaged in political murder resounded, and the Bourbon knife sunk deep in the counties of Charles City, Halifax, Hanover, Fioyd, Augusta, Lee and elsewhere, mingling with Sabbath day sympathies from the Boi rbon capital, and the race cry was shouted with brutal ferocity intense enough to make Virginia the rival of any Southern State in her record of bloodshed and lawlessness. These, fellow-citizens, were the means re­ sorted to. The effects were all that the bull­ dozers could have hoped for. Murders, deliberately planned and executed with remorseless malignity, were presented to the remote and ignorant whites of the valley and southwest as the unavoidable self- defense of these wolves against their lamb assailants. Without the means of informing themselves of the baseness of these false­ hoods, thousands of our party, deluded and deceived, yielded to an impulse of generosity so foully played upon, and In the region where these felonies were permitted, the murderers themselves paraded the streets, armed to the teeth, under the pretense of preserving order, until, ia the city of Dan­ ville. where Cameron received n 1884 votes numbering 78V, and Wise in 1882 received 841 votes, and where 1,379 Readjuster votes were enrolled, but twenty-six votes were cast for the coalition candidate, whose life was threatened, and whose coffin it is said had ,been actually made and paid for by the party of'henor and intelligence. In the counties of Halifax and Charlotte, adjacent to Pittsylvania, the policy of pup- chase as well as rioting prevailed, and while the methods were a little leas violent, they were none the less corrupt. Thus it was that Halifax, with a colored voting population of 3.814, against 3.054 whites, after giving .lohn S. Wise 548 majority in 1882, gave the Bour­ bons 250 majority in 1883. And Charotbe, with a black voting population of 2,055, and a white population of 1.W8. after giving John S. Wise 7H2 majority in lf^'3. gave a Bourbon majority of 300 in 1883. That, these majorities were honest no sane man will Imagine. How they were brought about will in due time be made apparent. The above ifre only samples of the methods resorted to by the Bourbons. Bribery and corruption appear to have«been the order of proceedings generally throughout the State. In the history of polities in this State the recent campaign is, thank» God, without precedent, and to the forbearance and long- suffering of the Rcadjusters--to this alone-- is due the fact that this State is not now bathed in blood. In summing up tho results of the cam­ paign, Senator Mahone says: That the re­ action will come, and that swiftly and com­ pletely. is not a matter of doubt. It is true that Bourbonlsm has gained a triumph upon a campaign of falsehood and deception, by appeals to passion and by a barbarous re­ solve to shed as much innocent blood as was necessary to its success. It is true that by fair means and by foul it has procured a temporary majority. And yet it is equally true that the majority of our people are con­ servative at heart and abhor falsehood and violence. In conclusion he says: The scope of the Readjuster party has enlarged with its age and growth. It originated In an issue local, and to some extent Improper. With time, and the changing issues which time brings, it has widened Its sphere, and while its origi­ nal object has become less prominent, issues of nationalism, of human rights, of liberty, of peace, of manhood, of republican govern­ ment, have been forced upon it by the fierce onslaught of Bourbonlsm, until these issues are broad enough to be national, and it has the sympathy of every man in the nation who loves liberty and abhors the proscription and bigotry of caste, class and race prejudice, which is the life of Bourbonlsm. For myself, as your Chairman from the out­ let of this struggle, I have conceived that the true duty imposed upon me by *,he spirit of our party was to wa«e undying war upon Bourbonisin: not only as it opposed the debt settlement: not only as it is the enemy of ed­ ucation; not only as it is imbecile, heartless ar.d wasteful in administration; not only as it is the enemy of free su1 r u e; but as it is the enemy of that true Democracy which means that the humble and .weak shall par­ ticipate in and'be protect* d by the adminis­ tration of the government as well as the powerful and strong. In the effort to perpetuate caste, class, and race rule by crushing out by force, fraud. Or otherwise, the weak and unprotected in this State, tho Bourtons have made a gulf be­ tween themselves and the Readjuster party which shall yawn forever, for they oannot bridge it, and we will not. Let the fight proceed. If wo are to be in the minority in the future, it is a minority strugurlintr for principles as strong and holy as when they were backed by a majority. The manhood which sustains them in defeat proves a sincerity and devotion which in due time must and will be crowned with triumph. But whether future triumphs come or not the blessings we have,,secured for Virginia are fixed and Indestructible. Our enemies stand before us. We know that they are our foes and the fees of the Commonwealth; that they have in the past paralyzed her energies, robbed her treasury, defrauded and dwarfed her free schools, strangled her suffrage, brought na­ tional hate upon her, adhered to no principle, and made terms with any renegade or prosti­ tute who would aid them. And that they have at lasl triumphed by murder and blood­ shed that have dissrraced the State. „ We know that we have asked for and given no quarter in the past, that we will accept none, and promise none now. We Know that with Bourbonlsm before us we have an enemy to fight, powerful and dangerous to the interests of the State. We know that, masquerading in the stolen livery of Democracy, It is no true representative of Democracy, either in principle or personnel, and I believe the Readjuster party will, when it next meets in council, unite cordially and thoroughly with our friends, State and na­ tional, and make common cause with them against the Bourbons, their aiders, coun­ sellors and abettors. State and national, by whatsoever name they tnav be designated. I repeat, therefore, that the struggle against Bourbonlsm is to be renewed forth­ with, and to the death, and, as your Chair­ man, I call upon every loyal Readjuster In Virginia to rally to the standard and reform to fight a new battle against their old Bour­ bon foe in the national campaign of 1884. Bearing in mind the old watchword of a free ballot and a fair count, we have a right to dem-tnd and expect support from the State, and if need be from the Federal Government, in behalf of the rights of man, guaranteed by both Governments, and put at stake to procure the ascendency of an un­ scrupulous party that sticks at nothing to ac­ quire power.

There appears to be so much fatality about building houses in Washington, esj>ecially adapted to entertaining, that it ought to cause a superstitious feel­ ing among those who contemplate doing so. Building a fine house here, which ovinced a rapid accumulation of wealth, largely contributed to the defeat of Mr. llobeson in New Jersey. Mr. Windom experienced the same fate in Minnesota from the same cause, and both Sena­ tors Pendleton, Cameron and Blaine appear to have been injured in their respective States by building homes in Washington. The inference to be drawn is that men are envious and do not like to see one another progressing too rapidly or comfortably in life. Mr. Seward once gave the following piece of advice to a gentleman who was just stepping out of office here, and who proposed to settlo in Washington and practice law. Said Mr. Seward: "Don't do it, unless you are willing to become a nobody. Never give up your citizenship in your State, especially as you cannot acquire it in Washington. It is right that there should be no citi­ zenship here, for the Government pays half the expense of the city and district, and local government would make the system complex and unsatisfactory,and, as there is no citizenship in the District, every man can retain the privilege of voting in his State."--Cor.
