DANCING IN PARIs.-A Paris letter says
France is pre-eminently dancing country,
and yet few of the dances now popular here
arc of French origin. The contre-danso is a
native of England, and was first introduced
into France by the dancer Trenitz; the waltz
came from beyond the Rhine during the
latter part of the eighteenth century; the
galop was imported from Hungary in 1890
and was in few years popularizod by Ga.
varni and Balnas. AS to the polka, it was
brought into France by the Princess de
Ligne, nee Wanda, Princess Lubomirska,
during the reign of Louis Philippe. There
was complete .furore for this dance both
here and in England, and scarcely a month
had elapsed after its introduction before
Levassor and Grassot danced comic polkG
at the Palais Royal. The cachuca, Fanny
Elssler's great triumph, has disappeared
with the daaeeuSe herself. The schottischt
has no history; whilst the cotillion belongs
properly to the seventeenth century, ant
owes its existence among us to recent re
vival.

RECIPES, &C.

WESTERN RECIPE FOR Corn BREAD.-
We find the following in the Country Gen
tlemaa. 1t adds to the general stock of in
formation on this, just now, quito important
sumptuary question. Somebody recently
inquired for simple recipe for corn bread
can supply his wants exactly, and it is @
great wonder to me that this most healthy
and excellent of breads is not moro generally
in use in the North. Outside Of the cities
the main dependence of both black and
white in the South, is on corn bread.
Take of good white meal, not too finely
ground, (you Yankees always grind Tx
life out of 1T, v modieum of salt, and som,
boiling water. Pour the boiling water upoi
the meal and salt, enough to scald then
thoroughly, but not to make 1t too mushy
stir it to the proper consistence, and bak
on a common cook stove griddlc, or On
piece of barrel head before fire. In til
case of the griddle, test it with pinch
meal, and it is hot enough when 1t brown
but not burns the meal. After baking on
half of the cake, mot more than half an in,
thick on the griddle,) turn over and bal
the other side. Some practice, of course,
necessary to assure proficiency in makiI
what is certainly the very best bread in [
world. BE sure and put nothing in but I
above ingredients, carefully avoiding mi
eggs and the like. With wheat flour at s
q barrel and corn meal just as good, a
much moro healthy and less provocative
dyspepsia, at IS barrel, why don't north,
people, and particularly farmers, use m
of the lattcrS They certuinly would il d
knew more of its value and excellence WI

HORSES OvERREA EAcnINd- -REMEDY.-A
correspondent says: "Make tho shoe its ma
tlral length, or a triile longer, with the toe
calk of the forward shoe high and the heel
call1 low. The hoof win then stand farther
forward, and more removed from the stride
of the hind foot, which, being shod with n
low too calk dnd high heel calk, will strike
the ground before it reaches the fore foot
An interfering horse usually strikes with the
inside of the hoof, about two inches from
the toe; therefore, make the shoe straighter
on the inside and rasp the hoof accordingly"

MASTER AND ScHoLAR.-"Whcn | was a
boy" said an old man, 1--WE had q school
master who had an odd way of catching
idle boys. One day he called out to US
"Boys, l must have closer attention to
your books. The first one OF you that sees
another boy idle want you to inform me,
and / will attend to his case"
"Ah," thought l to myself, "there is Joe
Simpson, that don't like. I'll watch him,
and if see him look off his book, I'll tell
1t was not long before saw Joe look OF
his book, and Immediately | informed the
master.
"Indccd," said he, show did you know he
was idle 2n
81 saw him." said I,
"You did, and were your eyes on your
book when you saw him Z"
was caught, and never watched for idle
boys again.
If we arc sufficiently watchful over oul
own conduct, VIC shall have no time to find
fault with the conduct of Others.
