A CHILL DINNER.
From Hrs. Grahans Jpurnak J

We found the mother sitting alone on the
estrada, supported by her cushions, with a
small low round table before her, on which
was spread a cotton cloth, by no means clean.
The daughters only served their mother
but eat their own meals in the kitchen, by
the fire. We were accommodated with seats
at the old lady's table. The first dish that
appeared was a small platter of melted mar
row, into which we were invited to dip the
bread that had been presented to each, the
old lady setting the example, and even pre-
senting bits thoroughly soppcd, with her fin
gers, to Miss II. who contrived to pass them
on to Il puppy who sat behind her. /, not
being SO near escaped bcttcr--besides, rs
really did not dislike the marrow, though |
wished in vain for the addition nf pcpperand
salt, dipped my bread most diligently and
ate heartily. The bread in Chill is not good
after the first day. The bakers usll-
ally put suct or lard into it, so that it tastes
like cakc--a few French bakers, however,
make excellent bread but that we had to-
day, was OF the country, and assimilated we'll
with the melted marrow. After TINS appc-
tiscr, as my countrymcn would call it, a
Large dish of charqui-can was placed before
Us. 1t consists of fresh beef, very much
boiled, with pieces of charYui, or dried beef
slices OF dried tongue, and punkin, cabbage
pot ,toes, and other vegetables, in the SAINT
dish. Our hostess Immediately began cat

ted us to do the same but one of her tlaugh
tcrs brought us each plate and fork, say
ing She knew that such was our custom

FEMALE INGENUITY.

Ralcigh, (M e. July 27.-.About eigh-
teen months since, we mentioned that a
young lady Of Franklin county, in this State
Miss Mary Davis, had woven large bag en-

formancc of this young lady, displaying
much crater ingenuity. She has completed

holes of the collar bosom and wristbands, are
neatly executed. The garment was com

finely is it woven, that it has every appear
nncc of nccdlc-work, but on close c%alnina-

The editor Of the Philadelphia National

The editor Of the Philadelphia National
Gazette acknowledges the receipt of direct
advices from Madrid Of recent date. II
seems that, in fact, a serious insurrcction,
like the movement at Lisbon, has been at

timatcd III our latest English papers-to
substitute the spanish Infant Don Carlos for
the "atlorcd" Ferdinand, and establish sys-
TEN more ultra royal and proscrptivc than
the monarch, ard his advisers have found it
practicable or deemed it expcdient to adopt.
The principals OF the conspiracy were the
guerilla leaders, the Trappist, and General
Capape, who endcavored to raise the people
il Arragon and other provinces. A number
Of distinguished reyalists, including bishops,
and triars, were cXilcd as acconlpliccs, to
different points of the kingdom, and to
France. The official paper, the Gazette OF
Madrid, OF the 18th May, contains notiil-
cation to all Portuguese in Spain to report
themselves to the authorities and the Portu-
gucsc legation in order that they might be
kept under SnrreNl0nce. a concert was be-
| lieVcd to exist between the Portuguese and
Spanish malcontcnts Of the various classes.

the Portuguese and Spanish governments,

in theory and pr4cticc.-Bah. Inner.

Mr.. CRANVFORD.-Thc National Journal

station in the government Of this country.
Hitherto there has been y silence, a reserve,
mastery in this point, the motive for which
we shall endeavour hereafter to explain.
Mr.. Crawford was at Church on Sunday
last, and though he is certainly better than
he has been, for many months past, it was
evident to all who saw him, that he is still
far from bcingin a state to attend to his busi-

II Plague rcmcdicd.-Onc of the greatest
inconvenicnces in our clim ,tc, at this season
of the year, is occasioncd by the ants getting
on our dressed provisions, which makes
them generally, very disgusting, particular
ly to delicate persons, and prccludes the adj
vantage of the use Of cold meats, which arc
most agreeable to many in warm weather.
The method is extremely simple, convenient
and safe. Take IA glass, well cleaned, and
place il in your safe upside down, and put
the dish or plate which contains your meat
on it. 1t may be here balanced with the
greatest safety, and will warrant that it
will be free from ants, provided you take
care that the meat and dish or plate, be free
from them when you place it i'll that situa-
ton.
The above mentioned remedy was disco
vered by sufferer after trying all the com
