THE NEWSPAPER LOBBY.
ft Itlade lolfnx Vlee-Presli.ent and Then
Deserted Him.
[From the New York Hour.]
The lata Schuyler Colfax was at one
time the favorite of the newspaper cor¬
respondents in 'Washington. An old
journalist, they were proud of his success
in Congress, and it was mainly through
their efforts that he was made Speaker
of the House. For years and years his
praise was sounded in nearly every
newspaper in the country, until at the
close of the angry administration of
Andrew Johnson he was the most popu¬
lar man in the Republican party for the
Vice-Presidency, with General Grant for
President.
In March, 1869, before Mr. Colfax
had been a month in the chair of the
Vice-President, ho said to a correspond¬
ent, that “the correspondents must not
in the future expect that ha could visit
them at their offices, the etiquette of
his position forbidding any such con¬
descension on his part. ” Vice-President
Colfax’s name began to drop out of the
special dispatches from the Capital, and
when the Republican Convention which
renominated General Grant met in Phil¬
adelphia in the summer of 1872, there
appeared there a powerful “lobby” of
resolute, bitter, vindictive, tireless news¬
paper mon, working as one man against
Colfax and in favor of Henry Wilson, of
Massachusetts, as the candidate for the
V ice-Presidency.
Mr. Colfax was strong. He was pop¬
ular with the politicians. From the
very start he had nearly one-half the
delegates. Colfax, however, was beaten
in tho organization of the Convention
although neither he nor his friends
knew it. Mr. Orr, of South Carolina,
afterward Minister to Russia and now
dead, and Judge Settle, of North Caro
lina, were the leading candidates for tho
Presidency of the Convention. Orr
was supported by the Colfax party and
Settle by those in favor of Wilson. In
the caucus the contest between these j
gentlemen was a tie. The correspondents
prevailed upon “Boss” Shepherd, of
Washington, to change his vote, and
Settle became President of the Con
vention. The understanding with Settle
on the part of some of the correspond
ents was that if Colfax did not get the
nomination on the first ballot, he would
recognize the delegate to be selected by
them before the vote was declared. Col- j
fax and Wilson led all their competitors
for the nomination, but neither had a
majority. A wild scene followed tho
close of the roll-call. Fifty men werp
on their feet shoutiDg for recognition at
tho President for the purpose of chang
ing from one candidate to another. Set
tie kept his word and recognized tho
chairman of the Virgiuia delegation,
a Mr. ropham. The delegation from
that Stato had split its vote between
Colfax and Wilson. Popbam, without
consnlting his associates, threw tho vote '
of Virginia solid for Wilson, and several i
of the other States followed her example, j
The Indiana men vainly endeavored to ;
• stem the tide. Wilson was nominated, j j
and the Washington correspondents who
had helped to make Colfax Speaker and j
Vice-President were mainly instrumen- '
tal in unmaking him. He never forgavo
them. !

■An Economical Wood-House. —The i
Indiana Fanner tells how to build a i
wood-house, inclosed by the wood itself, j
at very little expense. Sot four posts 1
firmly in tho ground for the corners of
the building. Spike plates on those to
receive the rafters supporting the side
plates by a middle post. These posts j
neod not be more than seven or eight
feet high. When ihe roof is completed,
pile up stovewood to the plates on all
the sides, leaving an opening for a
door at the proper place. Iu this the
fuel for the winter can be safely stored
away iu the fail, and the stock can be
replenished at any time when necessary.
The walls may be used as a summer
Rupply for tho cooking-stove, and re
placed before another winter. Such a
wood-house costs but little more than
the roof.
Ashes in Potato Culture.— In the
fall of 1883 I turned over two acres of
sod laud. L ust spring I applied a good
coating of stable dressing, and on one
half the piece spread 100 bushels ut un¬
bleached ashes. Wo plauted the pota¬
toes in drills, using a liberal amount of
superphosphate in the hill, where wo
placed one whole potato, the seed being
selected with care. The potatoes had a
vigorous growth and we looked for a
bountiful crop, which we had; but they
were the roughest and the most scurvy
jot of potatoes I ever raised, and it was
the ashes that did it, for we planted a
few rows without ashes, otherwise
dressed the same, and we harvested a
fine crop of table potatoes.— Raymond.
Preserving Potatoes During Win¬
ter. —A crop of a hundred bushels of
potatoes was put in the cellar in Sep¬
tember. An offensive odor seemed to
arise from them, which pervaded the
house, although the windows of the
cellar were all open and an outside door
was left standing open night and day.
Potatoes were occasionally found in the
pile showing a strong inclination to de¬
cay. Not wishing to remove them, one
rainy day they were carefully sorted
over and all suspicious-looking ones
were thrown out and fresh lime was
sifted over them lightly as they were
heaped up. No further trouble fol¬
lowed either from decay or bad odors.
It is a tradition that the flavor of pota¬
toes is best preserved by leaving them
in the field in pits, covering first with a
layer of straw and a few inches of earth.
At the approach of cold weather the;
are covered again with alternate layers
of s raw and sods sufficient to keep out
the frost. They may be finished with a
thick layer of cornstalks if desired,
When needed for use they are removed
to t e cellar, and the taste is snperior to
those which have been exposed to the
light. In the spring, if they are packed
in boxes of dry sand, they will not wilt,
as they usually do in warm weather.

The lifeboat was lowered iu a jiffy,
eight sailors and the coxswain leaped
into it, and pulled for the wreck.
Eleven balf-lrozeu sailors stood upon the
deck of the wreek and shouted for joy
as ihe boat shot up alongside. Then
they slid into the boat. A little man
with his beard covered with frost, who
the Inst to drop aboard, seized tho

said:
“Messmate, God bless yer. Ye saved

He went through more extravagant

was Edward Danisls, master of tho

“On Sunday,” he said, “after we had
taken aboard bait at Grand Manan and
got out to sea, between Brown Bank and
George’s Shoals, a big sea struck us all
of a sudden. It was three o’clock iu the
morning, and the sea carried away both
masts and swept the deok clean of every¬
thing else. Fisherman Peter Trcasher,
who was on watch, went over with the
wreckage, and we lost sight of him in
the darkness. The schooner swept help¬
lessly before the wind for two days, and
then the weather let up, aud at font
o’clock in the afternoon we caught sight
of a western bound ship only five miles
distant. We rigged up a Union Jack
upside down on a piece of spar, and
waved it as a signal of distress. The
ship did not pay the slightest heed to it.
At three o’clock next morning we saw
the lights of another ship going east,
and we burued torches to attract her at¬
tention. She, too, kept right ahead on
her track. It was two hours after that,
Captain, that you came aloug and took

Ways of Vshia Apples so tjhat Yon May
Get the Aloft Good out of Them.
Apples ad Beubre. —Peel and core
large apples. Cut slices of stale bread
about one-quarter of nn inch in thick¬
ness, and then cut them again of a
round shape, with the paste-outtev,
about the size of the apples. Spread
some butter on each slice, and place an
apple on each. Butter a baking
pan, place the apples and bread in,
fill the hole made in the middle of the
apples with sugar, place on the top of
the sugar a piece of butter about the
size of a hazelnut, and then sat them in
a warm, but not quick, oven. When
about half done, fill uj) tho .holes again
with sugar and a pinch of cinnamon,
place butter on top as before, and finish
the cooking. Serve them warm. If
for company, glaze over with apple jelly,
and put back in the even for two minutes
before serving.
Baked Aitle Charlotte. -Pare and
slice six or seven good large apples. Cut
some slices of baker’s bread about half
an inch thick and spread them with but
ter, cutting off the crust. Place a layer
of the buttered bread (butter on both
sides) at the bottom of the buttered
mold. Lay the sliced apples over this,
sprinkling them with grated lemon-peel,
strew sugar well over them and a little
cinnamon; then add another layer of
buttered bread, and so on till the mold
is full, putting plenty of butter upon the
topmost layer. Cover the mold, and
bakt; for an hour and a half. Turn it
out, and serve|with pudding-sauce, made
by putting in a block-tin saucepan four
tableispoonfuls of flour, four yelks of
eggo, one pint of milk, any essence that
may be liked to flavor, lemon being the
best; set over a sharp fire ; stir contin¬
ually until it begins to thicken. Serve
either over the pudding or in a sauce
bowl.
Apple mold is a pretty looking dish.
Pare, core, and stew six or eight large
apples, with some lemon-peel, a teacup¬
ful of white sugar, and water enough to
cover them; add half a packet of
Cooper’s gelatine. Dip a mold in cold
water, pour it in, and, when cold, turn
out into glass dish. Suffolk pudding is
made by taking eight large apples and a
quarter of a pound of crushed sugar.
Take the cores carefully out of the ap¬
ples without breaking them, and fill up
the empty space w.;h sugar. Place the
apples in a deep dish, with the eye up¬
ward, and pour over them a batter made
of eggs and milk, and bake for an hour
in a moderate oven. A little nutmeg or
a few cloves improve the flavor.
Swiss pudding is a very nice prepa
ratkm of apples, and specially suitable
for the children. Take a deep dish and
cover the bottom of it with grated
bread crumbs, then Jay in some sliced
apples, another layer of bread crumbs,
nnother of apples, and so on until the
dish is full, the last layer being of the
crumbs. Make a custard of beaten eggs
and milk,adding sugar, and pour over the
apples and crumbs until the dish is quite
full and almost running over. Place a
large piece of butter upon the top, and
bake in a brisk oven for half an hour.
Some people think spice an improvement,
and others add currants to the apples,
but that is a matter of individual taste.
Tho pudding can be made plainer by
omitting the eggs, or richer by adding
to their number.

MANY THOUSAND DOLLARS WANTED FOR
DESTRUCTION OF OYSTERS.
In 1883 wliat is known as tho “Grotou
scarlet fever case” raised a discussion as
to tho sati it ary properties of oysters
raised ou brnsb, aud disclosed to a ma¬
jority of people the fact that bivalves
might be grown on trees in submerged
places. The Pcquonoe River in Groton,
Conn., is about two miles long, and does
not rise above the dignity of a creek.
Its bed is muddy, and oysters cannot be
planted therein because they gradually
sink and deeny. People living in the
vicinity discovered a few years ago that
oysters could be raised most successfully
on polos aud brush planted in the bed of
the river, and the new process was at
onee recognized as tho beginning of an
important industry, Experiments
showed that the supply obtained in this
way was much larger than by the ordi¬
nary method of cultivation, and that in
quality the oysters were superior.
From one brush alono 25 bushels were
obtained. Tho selected oysters from
these forest beds have brought fancy
prices in New York and the Fulton Mar¬
ket men will pay as high as 83 a bushel,
when the ordinarvkind are sold for 81.50
to 81.75.
Scarlet fever broke out in Groton in
1883, aud though its origin was attribu¬
ted by most people to an infection
brought to the place in clothing shipped
from the West in the household effects
of a family where the disease had exist¬
ed in a virulent form, the local Board of
Health held that it was caused by de¬
composed matter existing in the Poquo
noc River, aud the whole oyster
plant was totally destroyed as a sanitary
measure. The owaers claim $30,000 from
tiie State. The State has paid one man
85,000. The oyster brush plant is being
gradually restored to the Poqnonoc and
promises in time to be as productive as
'ormerly.

Edgar A. Poe’s Child-Wife.
A New York letter says:—The Poe
memorial monument for Central Park
h:is arrived from Europe and will be un¬
veiled some time in the spring. It con¬
sists of a plain shaft and a square
pedestal, ou the four sides of which are
bas-reliefs representing conceptions
from the “Raven” and one or two of his
other great poems. I mention this for
the purpose of relating some facts con¬
cerning Poe’s poor child-wife, which
have never belore been, published. It
was in 1815 or some where thereabout
that the poet came to New York to find
something to do. Ho did not succeed
well, and it wai on that visit that he sold
the “Raven” to the American Review
for $5. He finally went out to Ford
ham, a little village up in Westchester
County, which borders on the suburbs
of New York City. It was then that he
was living with his child-wife, who took
consumption and died. She was buried
at Fordham, and she it was who was the
“Annabel” of the most beautiful and
touching poem he ever wrote. What
other human heart than his could have
measured such a depth of tender pathos ?
About three years ago the people of
Fordham determined they would remove
the village graveyard. Few of them
knew of Edgar Allan Poe or his beauti¬
ful “Annabel.” They began to remove
the bones and lay them away promiscu¬
ously in a sort of charnel ground some
distance out iu the country. A gentle¬
man in New York who knew much of
Poe’s life, who loved his poetry and
was aware that his wife was buried at
Fordham, heard of the removal of the
graveyard and went out to protect the
bones of sweet “Annabel.” The grave
had already been opened and he came
near being too late. He collected the
precious relics, wrapped them neatly in
a piece of piper and took them to his
home in New York, where he kept them
for nearly two years. One day a gentle¬
man oalled who had known Mrs. Poe
aud who was very fond of the poem
“Annabel.” The conversation drifted
toward those beautiful lines, and verse
after verse was repeated over and over.
Finally the gentleman of_ the honse
arose and said : “I will show vou some
thing,”
He then proceeded to unwrap the
bones of the poor heroine.
“These,” said he, “are the bones of
‘Annabel.'” He then proceeded to tell
the story. The bones were soon after¬
ward sent to be interred at Baltimore.

A dispatch dated Syracuse, N. V..
says: Mrs. Charles G. Roberts, better
known as the “Midget,” was taken ill
on Wednesday, and at two o’clock was
delivered of a male child weighing seven
and a half pounds by the Caesarean
operation. An examination by the
physicians showed that the child was in
a transverse position, and in order to
save the life of the little woman this un
i natnral means was resorted to. The
! lived but a few hours. The con¬
dition of the patient is hopeful. Mrs.
Roberts was formerly Miss Frankie
Thompson, and was born in Syracuse.
She is thirty-two years old, thirty-three
inches tall and weighs only about forty
pounds, She was married about two

Birds at Sea.
Several cases have been reported late¬
ly where ships have saved themselves
from probable destruction by the use of
oil to quiet the waves. This had a good
effect upon all tho seas, but especially
calmed the great foaming combers,
whose breaking force is most to be
dreaded. Few ships go to sea now with¬
out some arrangement for properly dis¬
pensing the oil. It has been suggested,
oy the way, that the reason why the
sea-wandering birds are able to survive
tempests as they do is because of the
slow exudation of oil from their feathers,
forming a perpetual calm about them
wherever the.v float.
