CABBAGEs.-There are more ways
to cook a fine cabbage than to boil it
with bacon side, and yet few seem
to comprehend that there can be
any loss in cooking it, even in
the simple way. Two-thirds of the
cooks place cabbage in cold water
and start it to boiling; this extracts
all the best juices, and makes the
pot-liquor a soup. The cabbage
head, after having been washed and
quartered, should be dropped into
boiling water, with no more meat
than will just season it.. Cabbage
may be cooked to equal broccoli or
caulifower. Take firm, sweet
head, cut it into shreds, lay it in salt
and water for six hours. Now place
it in boiling water till it becomes
tender turn the water off, and add
sweet milk when thoroughly done !;
take it up in a cullander, and drain.
Now season with butter and pepper,
with little nutmeg grated over, and
you will have a dish little resembling
what are generally called greens.

SUCCESSFUL EDIToRs.-An Eng
lish editor says: "a good editor, a
competent newspaper conductor, is
like general or a poet, born, not
made. Exercise and experience give
facilities, but the qualification is not
manifested. On the London daily
papers all the great historians, nov
elists, poets, essayists, and the writers
of travels, have been tried, and
nearly every one has failed. 4 cam
said the late editor of the London
Times, find any number of men to
write for me but very seldom one
man of common sense Nearly all
successful editors are of this descrip.
ton. A good editor seldom writes
much for his paper; he reads, judges,
selects, dictates, alters, and combines,
and to do all this well he has but
little time for composition. 70 write
for a paper is one thing-to edit is
another"

Bile John Adams wrote in 1875:

BALLooNING IN ENGLAND.-A
newly invented guiding and propell
ing balloon, called the Zodiac, made
by Mr.. jackson, of Derby, assembled
from Cremorne Gardens short time
ago. Mr.. Jackson claims to have at
tanned the power so many have
sought for in vain, of guiding the
balloon, and even propelling it when
the wind fails. The aeronaut sits
on long slender framework over
the ordinary car, and the turning of
a small crank sets in motion a long
oar projecting from either side,
spiked with large goose feathers, and
simultaneously cross of feathers at
the front end of the frame, which,
when in motion, resembles the toy
windmill children run with in the
street. Behind the voyager's seat,
and easily guided, is large rudder
Of goose feathers. The oars at the
side may be worked singly or to-
gether. The balloon started briskly,
and rapidly rose high, the descent
being made near Epson, the aero
naut returning by nine o'clock. We
cannot say whether the expectations
of the inventor were realized in
guiding and propelling the machine,
as we had no opportunity of observ-
ing its course.-Lond0n Mechanics

A HORRIBLE SToRY-A Paris
correspondent of the London Star
gives the following:
The haunted house In the Rue
des Marmousets is to be demolished
this week. You know the story in
the days of Francis /, fourished a
barber and pastry cook, and they
were good neighbors. The pies sold
by the latter were admirable-Soyer

spread through the city meanwhile.
A peddlar had been seen to enter
the BARRIERS shop, and had not left it.
Early one morning cobbler from
distant part of Paris had gone to
be shaved. His family had missed
him and traced him so far. A like
mysterious end had befallen several

toners. Meanwhile the pies sold by
his neighbor attracted half Paris
the meat was so white and tender.
What could it be At length a
young girl was missed. The pies
next day were wondrous eating. A
dish was ordered for the court supper.
The girl had neither father nor
mother to make fuss about her, but
she had an uncle, and he was SER
vitor in the house of M. lie Lieutenant
de Police, and his son loved his fair
cousin, so he had no idea or her dis
appearing thus. She had simply
been sent on an errand to the shop,
and the young cousin raved and

MECHANICS AND AGRICULTURAL
FAIR ASSOCIATION.

/
existed in our State an Agricul
tural and Mechanics Association
which held its annual fairs at
Baton Rouge. Favored and pat
ronized by nearly all of the most
notable men then to be found in
the State, whose tastes or pur-
suits allied them to the interests
of commerce, agriculture, literature
and the mechanical arts, the AS
ISOLATION attained to an enviable
distinction and was instrumental in
achieving many beneficial results.
The attendance in vast numbers
of the industrial and enterprising
classes which characterized the
yearly assemblages of the Asso-
citation, did much to further the
cause Of material progress. New
inventions, new discoveries and
Improvements in science and handi-
craft were stimulated and unfolded
through the fostering care and en-
couragement of men of genius, en-
terprise and capital. The vota-
ries of agriculture, commerce and
of the mechanical and manufac-
turing arts, were wont to re-unite
on such occasions, to compare notes
of the past and by social inter
change Of sentiments and ideas,
mutually to enlighten their minds
to clearer perception Of future
aims and ends in their several
callings and pursuits.
We are glad to see that another
Association similar to the one above
alluded to has been formed in our
State, the directory of which is in
New Orleans, and that the mem
bers thereof are earnestly hestir-
ring themselves with the view of
getting up a grand exposition Of
Southern art, skill and industry.
This exposition or fair, according
to a pamphlet recently issued by
the Association, is to commence on
the goth Of November next and to
continue for eight days at the ele.
CANT and extensive grounds of the
Association, in New Orleans. Pre-
miums amounting in the aggregate
to 100000 are to be distributed, |
and every facility and arrangement
which can conduce to the pleasure,
convenience and profit of both Wis
TORS and exhibitors is promised. |
A novel feature in the programme
Of the enterprise is that which
proposes the sale by auction on
the grounds of such stock as ex-
hibitors may wish to dispose of.
The officers of the Association are
gentlemen distinguished for that
energy and ability of character so
'equisite to give strength and shape
% their undertaking and to ensure
or it brilliant success.
The movement is beginning al
'eady to elicit merited attention
outside of New Orleans, and we
shall be greatly deceived if the
active population of the whole State
oe not eventually enlisted in it.
