AlME BERNARD.
A noble letter. such an one as a Missouri
Republican might be expected to write. The
act which it records, will be a source of un-
falling consolation to its author as long as he
lives; and who does not believe that when
he lies down to die, the consciousness that he
has not blood-money on his soul will give
his spirit an easy and buoyant flight?

Another Accession.

We learn that among the vast throng who
visited the home of Lincoln on the 8th, to
manifest their respect for him and his prin-
ciples, there were few, if any, more earnest
than Judge L. B. Otis, formerly of Fremont,
and Democratic Judge of Common Pleas in
this Circuit. He makes no concealment OF
bis support of the Republican ticket. The
fact that his residence for several years at Chi
cago has given him good opportunities to
learn the characters of Lincoln and Douglas,
gives additional weight to his preference for
"Honest Abe"
STILL ANoTHER.-We learn that J. R. Ty-
Ter, Esq, of this city, heretofore an active
Douglas Democrat after listening to the able
and convincing speech of Mr.. Hassaurek last
evening, declared his purpose to vote for Lin
coin and Hamiin, and to cooperate with the
Republican party. Mr.. Tyler has done con-
siderable labor in the Democratic ranks, as
speaker and otherwise, and we are pleased to
note this change in his political oourse.-To-

CHINESE COOKERV.-Ana article has recently
been published in the French scientific Jour
nails on the subject of Chinese cookery. The
following is an extract:
China has long felt the need of wasting
nothing; she has conquered her preiudices,
has experimental with everything, and has
adopted as ordinary food many of the pro-
ductions of nature Of which we make no use
The lower classes were the first to eat sub
stances which the rich disclaimed. Through
them all inventions, children of necessity,
have been made, and afterwards thev were
followed by the rest OF the world. I give a
few examples drawn from the animal king
dom.
The flesh of the dog, in Europe, is consid-
cred to be the worst of all meats; it is sup
posed to be entirely inedible The Chinese
deem it otherwise; they fatten their dogs
when they begin to grow old, and eat them
the stalls of the butchers are furnished with
dog meat, just as with other meats. Indeed.
the meat growers have succeeded in breeding
kind of dog peculiarly adapted TO fattening,
which they call butchery dogs; it is a vari-
ETY. of the wol-dog, with straight ears, which
Is characterized by having the tongue, palate,
and the whole interior Of the throat black.
1t is said that in certain restaurants in our
great cities cat meat is sometimes served up
for rabbit meat. The Chinese have nothing
Of these mysteries; they consider cat meat to
be excellent; and at all butcher shops enor-
nous cats are seen hung up by the head and
tail. On all farms these cats are found fast
ened by short chains, where they are fatten-
ed with the remains of rice from the family
repasts. These belong to a very large vari-
ETY. of cat, and the quiet life which they are
thus compelled to live renders it much more
easy to fatten them
The rat also is an animal which occupies a
large place in the food of the Chinese. It's
flesh is eaten, as well as that of the cat and
dog, either fresh or salted-those which are
salted being principally intended for con-
sumption on board Of the junks The farm
ers find rat raising to be profitable, and have
invented a very ingenious convenience for
breeding them. They have batteries as we
have our pigeon houses. They are made by
furnishing places which are favored by rats
with bottles having neck large enough to
admit the hand. The animals take these bot
ties, which are bricked into these walls, for
holes, make their nests there and raise their
young, and the farmer goes from hive to hive
to gather bis harvest Of young rats, as ours
do to gather the pigeons which they raise.
