MISCELLANEOUS.
COIfax i'm Pittsburg.

Hon. Schuyler Cofax, Vice President elect,
on his route eastward, remained few hours
in Pittsburg on Thursday evening, 5th inst.
He was serenaded during the evening, by
several of the Tanner Clubs, and the compli-
ment was acknowledged by Mr.. Colfax as
follows:
FELLOW CIrIzENs-T am glad to see you
keep your lamps brightly lit after the VIC
tory, a victory for loyalty, liberty and peace;
a victory which shall say to the on-looking
world that the blood of our soldiers who
died shall not have been shed in vain a
victory to show rebels they are respectively
but earnestly invited to take back seats,
Cheers and cries of good.l There are many
things of which we have right to be proud.
We have right to be proud of ours as the
only organization in this land that when the
storm cloud of war hung over it and traitors
sought to make our flag the winding sheet
of the worlds best hope, and fred upon its
defenders, we have the right to be proud
that not one ballet was fred by members oi
our party. We have the right to be proud
that not one dollar of this vast debt caused
by the war was incurred by our party. Nc
other party has record like this. We car
| bequeath it to our children as the most price
less inheritance a parent ever bequeathed Il
his son. There is something prouder thar
this-no Republican ever broke the heart o
a soldiers wife upon no Republicans hand
rests the blood of the brave defenders of ou
land. This army of orphans, made so b!
rebel bullets, can look upon us and say Gu
party is not responsible for it. When tn
time came for the organization OF this youni
and vigorous party Of ours, we hurled It rpol
the institution of slavery, and made thi
land of ours in fact what it had been i
poetry before, "the land of the free and tn
home of the bravei" Cheers. And whs
the military power of the rebellion wa
crushed, it was our organization, and onr
alone, that stood as firm as the eternal hill
declaring that rebels should not assume al
thority in the States whose governmen,
thew had overthrown, but that "loyalt
should govern whst loyalty had preserved
There is another record which we have
be proud of. Go into any other country, an

How 10 Make N2usbs

One of the earliest literary productions of
this country, that attracted attention, wac a
poem. by Joel Barlow, entitled "The Hasty
pudding" In it he ciags the praises of
this old New. England dish. and takes ex-
ceptiens to its being called nfush, samp, or
any name except the one our fathers gave.
Mush, or hasty pudding, as he would have
us call it, is an American dish, and, until
lately, has never been met with over the
water. 1t dates its existence to time long
anterior to the landing of the great Italian
on cur shores.
But, notwithstanding the fact of its anti
ouity. its wonderful cheapness and its undis-
puted excellence very few people know how
10 make this dish as it should be. The in
gradients for q dish of mush, are water, salt,
and corr meal. The water should be soft,
and the salt fine, and the meal of the first
quality yellow meal gives the best color
but white meal rs the more easily cooked
The water should be Boiling hot at the
commencement, middle and end OF the op-
GRAFTON. The meal should be added very
slowly, so as to prevent any Jumps being
formed, the cook stirring oil the time, and
should never be in such quantities as woMo
bring down the temperature OF the water De-
low the boiling point. Herein lies the SO
cret of making good mush, and y pronouhc-
ed by all who eat it as truly e1ceiient.
The reason that it requires high aegree
of heat to cook Indian corn, is that the
Storcb cIobnIes are very hard and compact,
and re6s,ire rso4e heat TO expand them than
IL does tle starch particles contained in
rice II Mush should be thoroughly cooked,
hat the cook meet gaard against its burning
oS So saws the editor of the Prairie Farmer,
and IL agrees entirely with our own expert.

MANNERs.-There is nothing which adds
SO much to young mans success in life
next to honesty of purpose-as the practice
of good manners. A polite man will show
his good bEeedipg wherever he goes on the
sidewalks, in the buggy, as well as in your
psrlor. If you meet man who refuses to
give you half the road, or to turn out on the
sidewalk, you may class hia' as a man with
no sense OF justice in his soul. When we
speak of polite men, we do not wish to be
understood as referring to one who bows low
and takes off his hat to ladies anu men oil
positions, and turns away from the Poor man,
but we mean the honest man-the man VINO
alwavs carries a smile on his countenance,
and who never turns his face away from the
poor we mean the man who has kind salu-
tation when he meets you in the morning,
and pleasant "Good. night" in the evening;
man whose face is the index to his heart,
which is always void of offense. Such q
man is bound to succeed; such ono will
find friends.

How 10 Mako AN Omeiet.

The proper way to make an omelet Is to-
take three teaspoonsful of milk for each egg,
and pinch oSsaln to each one also. Beat
the eggs lightly for three or four minutes,
and pour them into hot pan in which a.
piees of butter, the size of a walnut, has been
melted a moment bsfore. The mass will
begin TO bubble and rise in flakes immediate
ly, and the bottom must be lifted incsssant-
ly with clean knife SO that the softer parts
run in. An omelet should be cooked about
three or four minutes, and made in this way
will melt in the mouth. If a little parsley
and some well boiled onion, cut into small
pieces, be added, il is much improved,

THE GRECIAN BEND AND DIsEAsE.-Every
psychologist is hourly panied by the exhibit
tion of vanity of which large mass OF te-
males are the perpetrators. To obtain what
is called the "Grecian bend" they are tor
turing Aatere to such degree that thou.
sands of them will become the victims OF
cureless diseases. Tight lasiag drives the
vitals from their natural position, displaees
some of the most important parts OF the
organism, ana renders those who suffer
united for the most ordinary duties OF life.
1t is a crime to injure, by any artificial
appliance, the beautiful mechanism OF ma
ture, and the invariable result OF SO doing is
deformity, which the eye OF true taste can
not endure. The young lady who THINKS
she can improve her form by constraining II
within boundaries less than those which
nature demands for its service is not only
! thoughtless, but she is criminal. She VIII
| find In few years, or perhaps months, that
| she has with her "Grecisn bend" disease
| that can never be wholly eradicated; and
those who go to extremes in tho absurd
fashions of the day will assuredly hnd them
selves sufferers from complication or dis
orders. The wise young ladies OF this coun
try, we trust, will not be misled by the crue
inventions of qnodistss, 70 adopt any fashion
which strains the natural movements OF tho
vital organs, or other parts of the admirable
organism which is the gift OF the Deity, ano
cannot be too sacrsdly respected.
