Domestic Recipes.
Plum Pudding.-One pound and hal
of raisins, one pound and half:of currants
one pound and half of beefsuet, one pound
of flour, half a pound of bread-crumbs, four
ounces of citron, four ounces of lemon
four ounces of orange peel, two rinds OF
lemon, grated, juice of one lemon, four
ounces OF castor sugar, ten eggs, one tea
spoonful each OF nutmeg, ginger, and Gin
namon, thirty-two bitter almonds, one pint
of new milk, and small particle of salt.
Mix all together gradually over night, and
add little milk in the morning, if required.
Boil seven or eight hours.
TO Cure a Felon.-Apply salve of mar
row taken from the backbone of a bullock,
so that the part affected shall be complete
ly covered. Repeat, if necessary; but usu-
ally the effect is so speedy as to remove the
pain and restore the parts to a healthy con-
dition in less than an hour.
onion Cahe.-Take two cups of flour.
two cups of sugar, one and a half cup of
sour cream, two eggs, one teaspoonful of
saleratus, one half do. nutmeg. When
all are united, stir them up.
Healthy Custard.-One quart new milk.
Set over slow fire and do not let it boil;
beat 4 eggs with 2 tablespoons of sugar
add seasoning to taste), then stir it in the
milk till it thickens, but do not let it boil.
Wedding Johnny Cahe.-One pint of sour
cream, same of sweet milk, half cup of but
ter, 3 eggs, tablespoon of salt, same of So
da, one quart Of meal, one pint of flour,
one pint of raisins, half pint citron. This
makes very large cake, and is delicious,

A PAPER EATER.-A young lady of this
city while at school contracted bad habit,
which she now finds it impossible to break
off, that of chewing paper. Her parents
buy it for her by the ream, and she con-
sumes on an average, a quire per week
rolling her paper ball under her tongue as
a sweet morscl, and squirting the saliva
about like an old salt. She is quite con-
noisseur in the matter of paper, and evin-
ces decided preference for certain pale
blue unruled foolscap, which smells badly.
Deprived of her paper for day or two
she becomes restless, distraint and melan-
choly, refuses to eat or be comforted and
is not herself until a fresh supply is pro-
cured. ''IIow is Miss --?' we inquir-
ed of female friend the other day. "Not
well,'' was the reply, cher paper doesn't
agree with her,
We have heard of opium eating, snuff
eating, arsenic eating, and pencil eating
amC NJ the female fraternity, but we be-
licye this is the first instance of paper eat
inc which has come under our knowledge.
If the young lady knew how paper is made,
ry effort to break off the pernicious habit.
In the hope that this article may rass be-
meath her eye, we suggest some of the ma
terials which in the course of a month of
paper eating, are reduced to pulp between
her pretty teeth Bandages from sore legs,
rags from the gutter, cotton diapers, shirt
tails and all sorts of miscellaneous odds
and ends. Bah If that does not effect
reformation she is incorrigible.-1h In

Or GEN. SCorr.-The New York cores

Following:
''The term ''Fuss and Feathers applied
to the old chief, grew out of nothing per-

tastes were very simple. But he was very
exact in his discipline, and he required
every officer while on duty to be dressed
according to his rank in the minutest thing.
General Hamilton, who was on his staff.
related to me the other day very charac-
teristic anecdote. The Generals headquar-
ters in Mexico comprised two rooms, one
opening into the other. In the rear room
General Scott slept. One night after the
General had retired one of the staff wanted
some water. 1t was in the front ROOM
The evening was warm, and the hour late,
being near midnight. The officer started
to 90 in his shirt sleeves. He was cautioned
against the experiment as a dangerous one,
for if the General caught him in his quar-
ters with his coat off he would punish him.
The officer said he would risk it; that the
General was asleep and he would make no
noise. lie opened the door softly and
went on tip-toe to the water-pitcher. He
had no time to drink before he heard the
tinkle of the bell and the sentinel outside
of the door entered. Take this man to
the guard house, was the brief order, and
the coatless officer spent the night on a
hard plank under guard
