The editor of the Galvestonian, droll
wag by the way, advertises for stout,
able. bodied colored man, of fighting dis

Frying Pork.-Take one fresh egg,
beat it, add half a gill of sweet milk, and
sufficient quantity of flour to make good
batter; freshen and fry the pork as usual
then dip the pieces in the batter, which
will of course adhere, replace them in the
fat, and after little more frying, light
and delicate cake will enclose the meat,
and thus constitute dish for midding-
sized family, which will tempt the palate
ofthe most fastidious. Try IT, ladies'.
An affair of Honor.-On Saturday an
affair of honor came before the New York
Police. which afforded not a little merri-
ment. The parties were two negroes.

lady who is preparing for a great dinner
party, has one advantage at least in saying
that she is not at home when call is made
upon her; but the editor of an evening paper
cannot possibly plead that excuse. So he
must either be non est, or be ready to re-
ceive all visiters. We had one day last
week TO sit up for company as it is call.
ed, and we kept memorandum to mark
the number of visiters, and the diversity of
subjects they discussed and they came in
such rapid succession, and for SO many
| different objects that it was amusing to
witness the contrast. Talk of an editor
being of no consequence on this mundane
sphere! Why he receives more visiters
than minister of state; is asked to do
more obliging things; is required 10 per-
form more active services; and his advice
on all subjects is courted with more anx-
ious solicitude. True, he gets little or no.

only an editor after ALA kino of fore
horse to the public team-a leader, with a
bit in his mouth. which some one else holds.
