How To Cook a Isseisteak.

A beefsteak ought always to be broilsd to be
the incest; but the following method of cooking
is recommended by lady writer on the subject,
which even those who are accustomed TO frying
may be willing to try
'The fryiag-pan being wiped very dry, place
it upon the stove, and let it become hot rery hot.
In the meantime mangls the steak-if it chance
to be surloin, so much the better--pepper and
salt it. then lay it in the hot, dry pan which in
stantly cover as tight as possible. When the
raw flesh touches the heated pan, OF course it
seethes and adheres TO it, but in few seconds it
becomes loosened and Juicy. Every half minute
turn the steak but be careful to keep it as much
as possible under cover. When nearly done lay
small piece of butter upon it, and if you want
much gravy add tablespoonful of strong, good
coffee. In three minutes from the time the steak
first goes into the pan it is ready for the table.
This method of cooking makes the most deli
cieus, deliostely broied steak, full Of Juice, yet
retaining the healthy beefy favor that any John
Bull could require. The same method may be
applied to mutton chops, only they require . lit
tie longer cooking TO prevent them from being
rare An excellent gravy may be made for them
by adding little cream, thickened with pinch
OF -four, into which, when off the fre and partly
cool, stir in the yolk of an egg, well beaten

To PURIFY RooM-set pitcher of water
in room, and in few hours it will have ab-
sorbed all the re-pred gases in the room, the air
of which will become purer, but the water utter
ly filthy. The colder the water is the greater
the capacity 20 contain these gases. At ordinary
temperature pail OF water will absorb pint Of
carbonic acid gas and several pints Of ammo MIA.
The capacity is nearly doubled by reducing the
water t. the temperature of ice. Hence water
kept in room awhile is always unfit for use.
For the same reason tie water from pump
should always be pumped out in the morning be-
fore any of it is used. Impure water is always
more injuriou. than impure air

As soon as asparagus beds become yellow, they
should be moved of, put in heaps until they are
dry when they should be burned and the ashes
scattered over the beds. Where the roots stand
too closely together, producing many and small
sprouts unfit for the table or the market, they
should be thinned out and transplan,ed in spots
that have too few. The reason generally that
our asparagus sprouts are too small, is from al
lowing the roots TO spread too much, which can
easily be remieded by thinning out.-German-

ON THE DEATH OF LIZZIE Fee.

-
The following tribute is as beautiful as its
sleeping subject was sweet and pure
The summers gone-we hear the wind -harp's"
knell
Still wailing for the bowers beneath the sod
The reddest rose and fairest 'lilly-bell"
Sleep side by side beneath the Wondering 'clod
No more their fragrance on the breeze is borne.
Nomore their lovely petals do unfold;
And we are left among the thorns and stones
Upon the hill Of life" so bleak and cold
So did this sweetest Joy steal from our life,
When summer on her soft cheek ceased to
shine;
So cid she sink from out this worldly strife
Gone, like the flower and tender-clinging vine.
Like to the fragile climbing cypress plant,
Her ties TO earth were frail-still reaching up,
She for eternal waters cen did pant,
To quaf new life from heavenly pleasures
cup.
An. would we call the loy'd one back again,
To travel still the rough and stony way
Back, to endure life miseries and pain
Back to this darkness from her new found D
day
No ia not call an angel from the throne:
Her soul was never made to dwell below
Her labors here on earth were not 'undone,"
She left her footprints" on this changing
shore.
Again the bright young fowrets we shall see,
When spring swakes them with her balmy
breath;
So with our angel Lizzie will we be,
When VIC awake in heaven from out this seem
ing death.

GEN. =. B. BUCHNER RECEIVERS HIS
PROPERTY.


From the Louisville Courier.
In 1861, while the Confederate army was
at Bowling Green, the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad Company instituted a
suit, accompanied by an affidavit by its
President, Mr.. Guthrie, that Gen. Buckner
had destroyed the splendid bridge that
spanned Green river and alleged that, he
being in the Rebel army, his property was
subject 10 attachment to cover the damages.
Under the shameful laws enacted by the
Legislature in 1861, the attachments we're
levied upon all his estate in Kentucky,
consisting Of an elegant residence, three
stories high, with seventy three feet front
on Sixth street, and running through the
entire square, with equal front on Center
street a house and two lots in Elizabeth
town; a farm of some hundreds of acres,
being his ancestral home, in Hart county I;
and his library and furniture, and a large
amount Of other personal property. With~
out any proces9 being served upon him, a
verdict was obtained, under the statutes
then existing, of more than sixty thousand
dollars. The residence and the farm were
sold by the Marshal, and purchased by the
railroad company, who paid for IT by giving
Gen. Buckner a credit on their judgment.
The personal property was also sold, and
the proceeds paid to the railroad. By his
parole, General Buckner, after the war,
was not permitted to return TO Kentucky,
but about six months ago, by attorney, he
filed a pleading in the nature of petition
and answer, asking to be made a party tc
the suit, and alleging that he did not de-
stroy the bridge, but had he done 80 he
would be justified, by the laws Of war. A
retrial was ordered. Various preliminary
questions were met by additional prepare.
