papers which have come into our hands that
both parties have acted upon matters of street
rumor, as each now deny having facts OF their
own knowledge.

HOW to have "a cheap hot Dinner.

We happened to be present in May last at
the Polytechnic Institute OF London while
Prof. Pepper was conducting some very inter
esting optical experiments before crowded and
appreciatve audience. =,
This institute is one OF tie most valuable
and instructive in London, and we trust that
in due time We shall have something IKE 1t,
and even better, in this city.
a large hall in the building is devoted TO
the exhibition of novel inventions, many OF
which were remarkable for their ingenuity. =
Attic time Of our visit very voluble little
personago was summoning the visitors to ex-
anime small continuance which he called the
Norwegian cooking apparatus. 1t consisted oil
a tin vessel or stew pan having c!osely-fittlng
cover, and into which piece OF mutton or beet,
potatoes or other vegetables, are placed IN wa
ter at the boiling point The vessel IS covered
so as to be water-iight and then carefully en-
closed in felted box, and the lid sealed. The
apparatus before us had been shut up nearly
three and half hours, and when opened IN
our presence, we were invited, along with
other half hungry visitors, to eat OF the viands
thus prepared which we found we'll cooked
and very palatable The lecturer on the cook,
ing apparatus remarked that the peasants OF
Norway, wise in their generation were great
eaters of porrldge They found that by boil
ing their mess for only fi7e minutes, and then
Immediately enclosing the sauce pan,all hot,
in little feted box, the required heat was
sufficient to complete the cooking OF the por-
ridge and to keep it not for many hours,
The Norwegian Government it appears, took
leaf out of the peasants book, and adopted
the same plan of cooking for the navy, which
has proved success.
The lecturer went on to say that two gentle
men perhaps himself was one OF them-start,
ed from Paris with one Of these little felted
saucepans full of mutton, and upon reaching
London, after eleven hours tide, the felt COW
ering was removed, the stew opened, and the
inner man RECALLED with as cholee a morseI as
over Englishman ate, assisted, of course, by a
generous pot of beer, to which it IS SAID Ens
lishmen are somewhat partial.
Now for n workineman there IS nothing
like a good hot meal. 1t adds iOrco and power
to human muscle. Therefore, in every farm,
in every cottage, let the kettle be boiled every
morning. let the sauceDans containing the pro
visions Tor the day dinner be placed to b9lI
for five minutes, and then shut W, piping hot,
in wooden box, well fitted inside with cheap
felt, and the family need concern themseIve
no more till the dinner hour arrives. At that
time the food will be found nicely cooked, ana
with the addition OF some salt and pepper II
will constitute dish fit to set before king

gian stewpan to the field as be can ms little I'm

Dispatches bring us rumors of an APP
pretended attack from Virginia, upon
the Capital, or more accurately, perhaps,
upon Congress, and it is added that the
garrisons around the city, received or
ders from the War Department to cxer-
else increased vigilance, and that sup
ply train was in instant readiness to
move day and night. This may be
true, but the tenor of the dispatch we
regard as sensational, and from the fact
that it is telegraphed to the New York
Herald, this view receives confir1na-
ton. The New York Herald is an '"en-
terprising" sheet, and frequently manu-
features its own news.

of the motion for delay did Senator
Wade vote, while Patterson, JOhnson's

G. c. MoRsE. Co. Sup't.

A special Washington dispatch to the
New Yord Sun says the story set afoat
that Mr.. Wade or any of his friends en-
tertained the idea of his resigning the
Vice Presidency is not true. The dis
patch further says:
He has no such intention, and is not
in the habit of taking advice from his
enemies. He will remain where he is,
and will vote on the final issue if he
considers his State and people who sent
him here would be Wronged by his
silence. The question on which he is to
pass is the guilt or innocence of Andrew
johnson, and not his own promotion.
It is conceded here, by those who have
the means of judging, that he will be
nominated by the Chicago convention
for the Vice Presidency ON the ticket
with General Grant. Mr.. Wade has
already 10 delegates who have volun-
teered their support. He says to those
who call upon him, that he is free to
say he would like to be continued in his
present position during the next adj
ministratiOn.'
