Mrs. PUTNAM's RECEIPT BooK.-Boston
Phillips, Sampson & Co., 1858. This is q
now and enlarged edition OF work of re-
pute, by Mrs. E. Putnain containing large
number of receipts for fish, meat and other
dishes, for preparing salads and s,uces, pud-
dings and pastry, &C., &c, with valuable
hints to house-keepers on other matters per-
tanning to the culinary art
good cookery book is good thing, and
though we do not pretend to judge personally
of dish except from the eating, we have
taken the opinion of an admirable cook and
housewife on the merits of the book before
us, and, on the strength of that opinion we
give the work our recommendation. 1t is q
pity that so much good provision is spoiled
as there is about the country, for want OF
skilltul cooking it is pity, too, that so
many thousands of families, whose cellars
and gar ems are, or might be, always pro-
yded with abundant means for making q
great variety of wholesome and palatable
dishes, the use of which would add much to
the comfort and enjoyment of family, 90 on
from year to year, with hardly more change
on the family table than is seen on the tables
of State Prison. OF course, in work like
this, containing five or six hundred receipts,
the larger part If them will b. used only by
professional cooks, or by the few who push
the search of variety to an extreme; but a
great many are simple and cheap, ami require
but little tact and care for their successful
employment. Fuller has the work.

From the Country Gentleman.
WHEAT AND CHESS,

Our readers may, perhaps, remember thai
we stated about year since, that Benjamin
Hodge, of Buffalo, had previously offered q
prize of one hundred dollars to any one who
would turn wheat to chess. A worthy far
mer near Rochester, claimed the prize-one
OF the conditions of which was its award by
a committee appointed by the New York State
Agricultural Sjciety. Such committee was
appointed, and met at Rochester. in CONF pany
wi h the claimant for the premium, with a
mass of wheat and chess growing mixed to-
gethcr, and conveyed in a large tub. Clean
wheat had been planted, and chess was found
AS it was not certain that the seed of the
chess might not have been accidentally scat
tered by fowls or in various other ways, the
committee could not make the award, unless
the c. ess was found actually growing from
the half-decayed grains of wheat. IH,s was
found 10 be The case; but on further examina
tion by microscopes, the roots of the chess
were discovered, not to proceed from the end
of the grain from which the sprout always
issues, but in every instance from some other
part, at random and a further examination
showed that there was no adhesion between
the grain and the root, but that it merely
passed through the shell of the grain, or
came in accidental contact So far, then,
The applicant was not willing to relinouish
the investigation here, confident as he was of
complete success, If he only had Il fair trial.
He desired the continuance of the committee,
for further experiment, expressing at the
same time his entire confidence in their in
tegrity and fairness. lie provided them
with large square tin boxes, in which to ef-
feet the transmutaton under his special di-
rectiOn They all nprfnrm cd tLo aynprimnnt
with all the care required. The earth, be-
f,ro placing it in the box, was boiled in
cauldron with water for an hour or two, to
destroy all seed it might accidentally contain.
The wheat was then planted, II part in heads
and part in grains. arranged in a regular
figure, So us to detect any accidental seed that
might afterwards fall among it. 1t was
planted shallow, was subjected to flooding,
freezing and thawing. rubbing with the foot,
and various other kinds Of hard treatment,
tending to make it dotcrioratc to chess. Bm
no chess came. The wheat would not change
in the hands Of either Of tn Sc three commit
tee men. In one box the wheat was entirely
destroyed by the freezing and thawng Of
winter, added to the severe manipulation it
had received. In another it grew, bGt tseemcd
obstinately determined to retain its own
identity; it would not change. This is the
present state of the subject and it will,
probably, remain So.
In the man time, we wish to get hold of
any hali-trlnsmuted specimens, or with
wheat and chess from one root; and as we
before said, are willing to IF r. such prize as
shall certainly bring it, if such specimen
exists. Applicants will please say how high
a sum they want.

BUSINESS AND THE TELEGRAPH Tho Bos-
ton Traveller says. the almost entire cessation
of business following upon the crash of last
fall, had deleterious effect upon the various
telegraph lines throughout the country. they
being great measure dependent upon the
mercantile community for support. Within
a few weeks, there has been marked revi-
val, especially in communications TO and
from the West, which indie tes some consi-
derable increase Of business in that section,
incident upon the gathering in and disposi-
ton of the vast crops of breadstufs of that
region.
The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser says,
business in nearly all branches is prosperous.
The wharves present quite the aspect of old
times. Tugs, vessels and canal boats are
passing hither and thither about the harbour,
while the docks are covered with goods in
process of transhipment.

"Well,' said the doctor, " it seems my

able to extricate themselves but he replied

THE WAY HoLLANDERs USE LOOKING GLASSES

IHE WAY HoLLANDERs USE LOOKING GLASSES.
A correspondent of the st. Louis Democrat,
writing from Holland, thus describes use of
looking glasses very prevalent there, which
very fastidious people might think it worth
while to adopt in this country. We have
seen some notice of this queer custom before,
but never so minute an account of it

the city, before was brought to a stand by a
discovery. On both sides of the street, pro-
jecting from the centre of almost every win
dow OF the dwelling houses, each at an angle
of 45o with the window, were placed two
mirrors Of about foot square, each in a
vertical position, one facing up street and the
other down. Immediately set my ingenuity
to work to guess their object, and was not
long in discovering in these mirrors plain
indications that here, in this great swamp in
Europe, woman's curiosity is the same as
arlong verdant hills and more genial climes,
The mistress of the house, seating herself in
her parlor in particular spot before a win
dow, with needle OF knitting work in hand
has but to lift her eyes into the twin looking
glass outside her window, in order to catch at
glance the whole panorama of the street in
both directions. There was also another
queer looking glass arrangement, which for a
long time puzzled me. The puzzle grew out

An EXCELLENT REoIPE.-The New York
Tribune prescribes for the rioters at Staten
Island, as follows -
DR.. j. C. Thompson of Staten Island, a
gentleman who enjoys the reputation of hav-
ing boen prominent actor in the late Grim
inal destruction of the Quarantine, writes to
the Herald that the patients in the hospitals,
instead of suffering by the inhuman barbar-
ism of the rioters, were rather benefited in
health by the exposure to which they were
70 cruelty subjected, He says
80 far from injuring the sick, there is no
question but open air treatment, especially
for yellow fever, is decidedly an i'm provement
over close and confined buildings, and now
why not take the hint from the facts elected
by this accidental exposure, under which the
patients have actually improved very rap
idly"
This being the case, We suggest that open
air treatment, such for instance as working
in the quarries at Sing Sing, would probably
cause a rapid improvement in the moral con-
dition Of the incendiuries and rioters of Tomp-
kinsvlle.

How TO GET BEATEN when you are the
strongest, is well shown by the Rutland
Herald's account of the election of q demo-
cratic representative in Rntlond Tho loseon
may be- e.uiied with profit elsewhere.
"We have in town not less than twelve
hundred legal voters, not over three hun
dred of which are Democrats, and yet with
this large Republican majority we have al
lowed ourselves to be defeated. We hardly
know whether to be sad or to rejoice at this
event. " hen party as strong as the Re-
publicans become SO diiatory ps to pay no
heed to their political interests, they deserve
to be beaten.
We had ten ballotings for Representative,
and on the first ballot the Republicans cast
Az votes for Republican candidates, but they
were divided between two very worthy and ac-
ceptable men. The regularly nominated
candidate, Mr., Pierpoint, had 27S, Mr..
| Chaplin 100, with the balance scattering.
| After casting their votes on that ballot near
ly one hundred Republicans left for their
homes, and others continued to leave until
the last ballot, when only 2lS Republican
votes were polled. The Democrats to man
stood to tljr posts, and by raking every
thing they could from the hedges and ditch
es Mr. Linsley' vote was increased from l73
to 223 on the last ballot, (55 less than Mr..
| Pierpoint's first vote) with which they elect
ed him."
