BY tie way, it will be q pleasure to many of
your readers who have partaken OF the old ladys
pumpkin pies and buckwbeat cakes, TO know that
at last she is getting on in the world. 1t is pleas
ant to NE to remember that her culinary virtues
were first heraded in print three years ago, in the
columns Of THE TRIBUNE. From the slight be-
ginnngs of those days, the Cremerte No. Rae de
la Mchodiere has risen to the dignity of an nstitu-
ton. Personaees high placed here in the dplo-
matte world deem it not beneath their state to
indulge their patriotic tastes at her table

Mountains where such tastes can be INDUCED with
pumpkin pies baked beans, and buckwheat cakes.

Next to the ceremonial for the "borning' and
baptisinq of the new Prince that is to be, do not
know anything so sadly funny as the fantastic tricks
of some of couDtrymen and countrywomen
here displayed in their unsuccessful attempts 10
initiate European manners and attain a position.
The complacency with which they ignore the origin
of their fathers or their rires' fathers money,
with which they write and speak b.d French in
lieu of bad English, with which they set them
selves up for laughing stock to their foreign
rOdels and their sensible fellow conntrymen,
merits the attention of the authors Of the LOrg-
nette and the POtiphar Papers. Would that one
or the other of them laughing in his Easy
Chair" would chastse these affected manners.
They say we are to have the announcement of
peace within fortnight. A contamination much
to be desired surely, but yet quite Ciierent con-
summation from what ap. 10 think 1t.
These peaces made by Congresses, by the plenipo-
tentarits of kings and kaisers are not peace.
During the last forty years preceding the outbreak
Of the present war; Europe was said to be at
peace. 1t was not During all that tiue there was

little what force that is-the combined forces of
more than four millions of men, mostly in the prime

men. Think only Of the corn they could have
