Culloden’s Barbecue.
* — 11
The barbecue at Culloden on the 4th of
July, in every particular, was a perfect
success. The people came on foot, horse¬
back, in sulkies, buggies and carriages,
and they came from far and near. The
Atlanta and Florida north bound train
was loaded when it arrived. At about 10
o'clock a special came down from Atlanta
and also one from Macon over the Bir¬
mingham railroad, each bringing a large
number of invited guests. As the latter
rolled up to the depot, bearing the offi¬
cials of the road and Hon. Emory Speer,
the orator of the day, the Quitman
Guards, the handsomely equipped anc

Forsyth, a volley of musketry.
Judge picnic Speer was immediately escorted
to the grounds, and mounted the

L. C. Futtrell’s Card.
I presume it is generally known that
I am not a candidate for the Legislature,
for I publicly announced in Knoxville on
last Saturday, however, in order that
there may be no misunderstanding I deem
it proper to announce my withdrawa
through the medium of your valued pa¬
per, the Herald.
It was with great reluctance that I al¬
lowed my name to be used as a candidate,
for I was not willing to enter into a con¬
test. and besides felt that we had more
competent men for the position. At the
earnest solicitation of many friends and
after being informed that two Sub-Alli¬
ances had unanimously endorsed me I
consented to allow’ my name used. Not¬
withstanding the misrepresentations that
had been made as to my candidacy my
prospects were flattering, and many of
my friends earnestly protested against
ray withdrawing, but not having time
even if I was willing campaign to enter promised, into so hot
a contest as the and
that, too, against true and worthy men I
respectfully withdraw from the race.
T highly appreciate manifested the interest that
my friends have in me, and
tender to them my hearty thanks.
Very respectfully,
L. C. Futrell.

Male and Female Criminals.
‘
*7 Maitre Proal, of the Bar of Aix. lias
published a comparative study of male
and female crime in France during the
last year. His object is to refute the
theory of the Anthropological criminal¬
ists, headed by Lainbroso, who hold that
women more closely resemble the pre¬
historic types of the human race than
men. Iu the period named there were
4,298 convictions for felony, in which
3,672 of the prisoners were men and 626
women. Of 84 cases of poisoning two- One
thirds were committed by women.
hundred and seventy-six men were con¬ Of
victed of arson as murder against 53 women. by
the 295 coses of 248 were men
and 47 by women. In 15 cases of homi¬
cide and vitriol throwing by women ac¬
tuated by revenge the accused were ac¬
quitted, extenuating circumstances being
admitted, and are not technically to be
held guilty. Women, it may be said, are
prevented by their want of muscular
strength from committing murders or a
brutal kind; but this objection would not
apply to theft. Of 46,285 persons con¬
victed of theft 35,687 were men, and
10,598 women. In cases of shoplifting ladies
women are in excess of men, and
are more frequently convicted than wo¬
men of the poorer class. Notwithstand¬
ing the fact that, in France, women are
nearly as often in business as men, they
are much less often guilty of fraud than
members of the other sex. Of these lat¬
ter 3,596 were convicted, while only 681
women were charged with the same of¬
fence. M. Proal’s conclusion is that, in
France, seven-eighths of the criminals
are males, which, iu his opinion, is a rea¬
son for placing women on an equal foot¬
ing with men in regard to civil aud other

How many romances there are iu private

of the terrible experience his mother had
years ago. His father was a Maine man,
who commanded one of the finest clippei

voyages. One African summer day aud lie weighed sail foi

Mrs. Dunlevy took the
course and brought the ship in safety to

Commerce voted her a medal and vote of

handsome amount as a kind of salvage.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
HOW TO KEEP OII.-CLOT
Oil-cloth is generally considered expen¬
sive for a kitchen floor, though many
•ontinue to use it. If so, they can make
it last much longer by careful washing.
Soap, a harsh brush or a mop should
never be applied to an oil-cloth. If it
should happen to get very dirty use a
soft brush and scrub the way of the lines.
But to keep oil-cloth clean ordinarily,the
rule is to wipe it first with a damp cloth
and then with a soft, dry one. A very
nice way to clean it occasionally is to
wash the oil-cloth by first rubbing it over
with a cloth wet in equal parts of milk
and water; then to take another cloth,
wet in warm water, and go over it again,
and then finally with a soft, dry cloth.
But the cleanest, brightest-looking oil¬
cloth I have ever seen was simply rubbed
over when needed with a greased rag.
This made it look well, kept it from
cracking, preserved the paint, and it
lasted for years. The rag may be dipped
in a little kerosene, if one does not object
to the odor, which will pass off, how¬
ever, iu an hour or two .—New York
New.
TICKLES.
When making pickles use none but the
best of vinegar. A passably good vine¬
gar is made from sorghum, and there is
another kind made from sweetened water
in which corn has been boiled—either
kind being better than the acid vinegir
for sale at the grocery stores. Be par¬
ticularly careful not to buy the sharp,
colorless liquid usually sold for vinegar;
for it is really weak sulphuric acid, and
highly injurious. I have become quite
skeptical about all vinegar offered by
grocers, and would advise housekeepers,
whenever it is possible to make their own,
or purchase of some friend who can make
more than she needs for her own use.
Boil pickles in earthenware wheuevei
it is possible. Granite ware is next best
tor the purpose, and next to that new
tin. As soon as the pickles are dona
they should be removed from the dish in
which they were cooked, unless earthen¬
ware was used. They should be kept in
glass or hard stoneware, and examined
every month or six weeks. If they do
seem to be keeping well, drain off the
water, scald it, add a cupful of sugar for
each gallon, and pour it boiling hot over
the pickles. Repeat this operation three
mornings in success, then tie them up
closely again. If pickle is well made,
however, it should be better at the end
of a year than- at the end of three
months.— Yankee Blade.

^ w - TO COVEK^N_y>IBKELLA.
There is a method in the madness of
umbrella maker’s charges for covering an
old umbrella frame. The maker may
discourse wisely on the value of a well
and perfectly made frame, which may be
“covered again and again,” but when
that frame is offered for covering it if
soon fouud that it costs as much as the
Umbrella did originally, and the worn-out
economist soon finds she must buy a new
one, and throw aside for “sake of the
trade” the cherished frame and hand¬
some stick. It is so easy a matter tc
cover an umbrella that many ladies now
do it with perfect ease. Measure the size
of the umbrella to find the width of silk
required,«. twenty-six umbrella requiring
goods that width, a twenty-four inch
goods twenty-four inches, and so on.
Measure the circumference of the parasol
and allow a few inches over half the
length of material the circumference
measures. Now remove the cover care¬
fully. It is well at first to take off only
one gore. Use this for a pattern, and
cut the required number of gores from it.
Hem them and sew them in a bag seam
with a machine with a very elastic chain-
stitch. A machine which makes a firm
stitch, however suitable for other work,
is not as good for this purpose. Any
chain-switch machine will do. The cover
must be fastened on the wrong side at
the top; then drawn down and sewn in
place. Examine an old parasol or um-
breilu to see how to do this, and you may
enjoy a new umbrella at a small cost.
Cut across the goods, using the selvidges
alternately.— New York Tribune.
RECIPES.
Traveling Lunch—Chop together sar¬
dines, ham and a few pickles; mix with
mustard, pepper, catsup, salt and vinegar;
spread bet weed buttered bread. This is
to be cut crosswise, like jelly cake.
Tomato Salad—Take nearly ripe to¬
matoes, slice in a dish and set on ice to
get hard and firm, then just before using
chop a large union fine, and sprinkle
over them, and add salt, vinegar and
pepper to taste.
Vegetable Soup-Stock—Clean and cut
up three or four pounds of carrots, celery,
turnips, onions, lettuce, parsnips, aud
herbs; put them altogether in a stewpan,
with some fresh butter and a little water,
and stew until water is evaporated and
the butter begins to hiss; then fill up with
fresh water, add nutmeg, pepper, salt,
and a few green peas; simmer for three
hours; strain and keep in a stone crock
in a cool place until wanted.
Baked Chicken—-Cut a chicken up in
pieces; dip them in beaten egg and bread
crumbs, well seasoned with pepper, salt,
and chopped parsley; pour a little watef
in a dripping pan, put in the chicken,
putting little bits of butter over it; bak£
