OF COLORED TROOPS


The three regiments of colored troops recruit
ed in this city and State-nearly three thousand
men-under the auspices Of Col. Bowman made
q dress parade through our streets yesterday
morning, previous to their departure for the
scene Oft is to be hoped-aotive operations -
No man desiring the speedy overthrow Of the re-
bellion, and it's proper termination, could have
looked upon the spectacle with other than feel
ings of satisfaction Only one Of the regiments
was armed, the other two were otherwise fully
equipped. A splendid brass band was on the
right OF the line, and full drum corps accom-
panied each regiment. The men all marched
proudy and soldierly, and nothing could have
been more perfect than their movement, evidence
ing o great deal Of care and discipline in their
management and drill
Magnificent working and fighting material was
in that column. Sturdy, Htal Hart, able bodied
and healthy men, we'll disciplined by careful
training, proud Of their new and novel position,
they looked every inch the soldier. A few years
ago the men who would have said that the negro
would have marched through the streets of Bal
timore in military equipments aud unarmed,
without being assaulted, would have been con-
sdered q fit candidate for an insane asylum
But such is the case, and during their march
yesterday morning it was pleasant to see as the
head oil the column passed the Maryland Insti-
tute-Where the arrangements for the State Fair
are in progress-they were Justify cheered, In
many places along the route of march, flags wert
waved from the stateliest or from the humblesl
dwellings. Several of the men were accom-
panied to the point Of embarkation-the foot o
Long Dock-by their wives and sisters, ant
many were the leave-takings there witnessed.
Some few of the more rabid of the Rebels il
our midst gave vent to their spleen in silen
murmurs and ''curses not loud but deep" On
female, who was standing at the Institute as tn
procession turned down the market space
thought it chad come to pretty pass when sh
had to stand to allow 'niggers' to pass, and tht
they were a nice crowd to send to fight whii
men," But notwithstanding the grievances
the fair Secesh, the troops passed quietly b,
amid the congratulations of those who think II
United States Government can rightly use Il
colored man for soldier or laborer as well
the Rebel oligarchy at Richmond. May we ha'
many more such regiments to credit to the quo
. of Maryland as those that passed the Amsriet

HOW no coon EGGS,

BoILED.-New-laid eggs require half minute
longer TO cook than others The ireshri they
are the better, and the more healthful Egpg
over week old should never be boiled they
will do to fry. Put them into water that bos,
but not furously, as it will crack them. If you
like them very soft, boil them three minutes. Ii
you wish the yolk hard, boil them five minutes.
10 be served with salad, they should be boiled
twelve minutes.
FRfED.-After you have fried ham, drop in the
egge one at time. In about minute dip the
boiling fat with a spoon over them again and
again. This will prevent the necessity of turn
ing them, which is difficult to do without break
ing the yolks. Take them up in about lWo
minutes and half with skinner. The fat
that roasts out Of ham that is Drowned in an
oven, is good for frying eggs.
POAcnED.-set tin pan or pail on the range,
containing u pint of milk then beat sir eggs
we'll. When the milk is very nearly boiling, put
in teaspoonful of salt, and half teaspoonful
of pepper and half table spoonful Of butter;
then add the eggs, and stir steadily until il
thickens, which will be in minute or two. Set
it Oft before II becomes very thick, and continue
10 stir it q minute or two more. Have ready, in
warm dish, two slices Of toasted bread, spread
with butter, and pour the egg over them. IT
should be q little thicker than boiled custard. -
This is ample breakfast for six or seven persons.
DROPPrD.-DrOp fresh eggs into sauce pan
Of boiling water with salt in il. Put them in
gently, 80 as not to break the yolks Have
ready alipes Of buttered toast, aud either take
up the eggs With skinner, or pour of the wa.
ter, gud then turn them out Of the saucepan
upon the toast. Add more salt, If they are not
seasoned enough by that which is in the water.
OMELaT (baked and very simple).-Heat three
gllls Of milk with dessert-spoonIul Of butter in
it, beat four or five eggs thoroughly, wet a
tablespoonful of -four with teaspoonful of salt,
smooth, in little cold milk. Mix the eggs with
the -four and cold milk, then add the hot milk,
stirring very fast Put the mixture into but
tered dish just large enough to contain it, IT
will bake in a quick oven in fifteen or twenty
minutes. Besides being very palatable, it is a
bequtifp looking dish for the breakfast table,
aud very convenient addition to small din
ner. The old rus is eight eggs to pint of milk,
but six is enough.

BY rnE BARD OF TOWER HALL.
Now does the Duke Macmillan,
With his cOurtiers at his back
Both soldier and civilian,
Take for Mexico the track,
ACROSS the troubled ocean;
And as on bis vessel reels,
A proud, though queer emotion,
Wee doubt not that he feels.

Ills gay prospects seem less bright,
First--the crown he goes to take
Cannot be Ills own By right.
Then-no sort Of property,
That folks nOw-n-dnys ean own,
Could we'll more uncertain be
Than this same old Mexio throne
A Joy much more unbounded
Must be felt by him who goes
Where Tower Hall is founded,

To what he enjoys hold good,
And that his prize will duly
