CHRISTMAS DINNER.-Few persons allow the
Christmas season to pass without celebrating the
occasion by an extra dinner, one of the concomi-
tants being the time-honored plum pudding. For
the benefit of the few benighted housekeepers who
do not understand the art of preparing this deli
cacy, we furnish the following invaluable recipe,
which was obtained from the Queens Yeoman OF
the Mouth, or, in plain English, her head cook:
Old English Plum Puading.-To make what is
termed q pound pudding, take of rasins well
stoned, currants thoroughly washed, one pound
each; chop pound Of suet very fine and mix with

GENERAL R. X. ScoTT.-Some time ago it was
stated that General Scott had been mustered out
OF service, the severance of his connection with
the army to take effect the 1st OF January 1868.
A dispatch was, hcv ever, received yesterday, we
understand, directing him to continue in his pres
ent position till further orders which, we pre-
sume means as long as the Freedmen's Bureau is
continued as an institution of the land. We do
not like the bureau, and hope it will soon 60 into
liquidation. Until then, we have no objection to
the present Assistant Commissioner, and although
he has not given satisfaction to all-n the nature
of the case this was impossible-we think it much
better to endure the ills we have rather than fly
to others we know not of. General s.. we have
every reason to believe, is an honest, well-mean-
ing man, desirous OF doing his duty. He has
studiously eschewed politics. and even incurred
The dislike of some of his Radical brethren in con-
sequence
In this connection we may also say that We did
not learn whether or not Mr.. Pillsburv, who has
been recently relieved of his post in the bureau,
has likewise been asked to resume his Office His
recent interview with 9Ir. Thaddeus Stevens may
have borne some such fruit.
