General Grant Makes a Speech.

Gen. Grant was entertained by the
New York Union League Club, on
the evening of the Sth inst, and in
response to a toast to "Our guest the
General of the army and the Presi-
dent elect" General Grant said:
GentLemeH Of the Union League =
1t is with entire regret that find my
self unable to respond in appropriate
language TO the warmth of feeling
with which the toast has been reeeiv-
ed. You all know how unaecustOmed

laughter and cheers and how desirous
am to see more of our public men

my acknowledgements to the Union

How to Have a Cheap Hot Dinner.
from the scientific American

| We happened to be present in MAY
/ last at the Polytechnic Institute Of
London while Prof. Pepper was con-
Quoting some very interesting Opical
/ experiments to a crowded and ap-
pTeciative audience.
This Institute is one of the most
valuable and instructive in London,
and we trust that in due time we shall
have something like it, and even bet
ter, in this city.
A large hall in the building is
devoted to the exhibition of novel
inventions, many of which were re-
markable for their ingenuity. At the
time of our visit u very vOluble little
parsonage was summOning the visitors
to examine a small eontriyanee which
he called the Norwegian cooking
apparatus. It ItcOnsisted Of a tin vessel
or stew-pan, having a clOsely-fitting
cover, and into which piece of NUT
ton or beef, potatoes, and other
vegetables, are placed in water at the
boiling point. The vessel is covered
80 as to be water-tight, and then
carefully inclOsed in a 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 well cooked and very palatable.
The lecturer on the cooking appara-
tus remarked that the peasants OF
Norway, wise in their generation,
were great eaters of pOrridge. They
found that by boiling their mess for
only five minutes, and then immedi-
ately inclOsing the saucepan, all hot,
in q little felted box, the acquired
heat was sufficient to complete the
cooking of the pOrridge and to keep
it hot for many hours.
The Norwegian Government, :
appears, took a leaf out of the peas
ants book, and adopted the same
plan Of cooking for the navy, which
has proved a success.
The lecturer went on to say that
two gentlemen-perhaps himself was
one of demonstrated from Paris with
one of these little felted saueepans
full of mutton, and upon reaching
London, after eleven hours ride, the
felt covering was removed, the stew
opened, and the inner man regaled
with as choice q mOrsel as ever
ate, assisted, of course,
by generous pot of beer, to which it
is said Englishmen are somewhat
partial.
Now, for a wOrkingman there is
nothing like a good hot meal. 1t
adds force and power to human
muscle. Therefore, in every farm, in
every cottage, let the kettle be boiled
every morning; let the saueepans
the provisions for the
days dinner be placed to boil for tive
minutes, and then shut up, piping
hot, in wood box, well fitted inside
with cheap felt, and the family need
concern themselves no more til the
dinner hour arrives. At that time
the food will be found aicely cooked,
and with the addition of some salt
and pepper il will constitute dish tit
10 set befOre a king. The labOrer can
IS easily carry the little Norwegian
stew-pan to the field as he can his
little tin pail

THE CHRONICLE.
TIE PLAYMATES.

Two careless, happy children,
Up when the east was red,
And never tired and never still
Till the sun had gone TO bed;
Helping the winds in winter
To toss the snow about;
Gathering the early flowers
When spring-tims called them out;
Playing among the windows
Where the mowers moved the hay;
Finding the place where the sky-lark
Had hidden her nest away;
Treading the cool, damp burrows
Behind the shining plow:
Up in the barn with the swallows,
And sliding over the NOW;
Pleased with the same old stories,
Heard thousand times;
Believing all the wonders
Written in tales or rhymes;
Counting the hours in summer,
When even day seemed long;
Counting the hours in winter
Till the time of leaves and song;
Thinking IL took forever
For little children to grow,
And that seventy years of a lifetime
Never could come and go.
Oh, know they were happier children
Than the world may again see,
For one was my little playmate,
And one, oh! one was me!
A sad-faced man and woman,
Leagues and leagues apart,
Doing their work as best they may,
With weary hand and heart;
Shrinking from winters tempests,
And summers burning heat;
Thinking that skies were brighter,
And flowers were once more sweet
Wondering why the sky-lark
So early tries his wings;
And IL green fields are hidden
Beyond the gate where he sings;
Feeling that time is slipping
Faster and faster away,
That day is but a moment,
And the years of life as day;
Seeing the highest and places
Others have reached and won;
Signing DER things accomplished,
And things that are left undone;
And yet still trusting somehow
In His own good time to become
Again as little children
In their Heavenly Fathers home.
One crowding memories backward,
In the busy, restless mart;
One pondering on them ever,
And keeping them in her heart;
Going on by their separate pathways
To the same eternity
And one of these is my playmate,
And one, alas! is mel

The UNFINISHED PRAYER.

"Now lay me, SAY il, darling"
LAY me-" isped the tiny lips
OF my daughter, kneeiing, bending
Ger her folded finger tips;
Down to sleep-'To sleep" she muir
INJURED,
And the curly head dropped low.
81 pray the Lord" gently added,
"You can say it all, know"
"Pray the LORD, !" the words came family
Fainter still--'AIy soul to keep
And the tired head low nodded,
And the child was fast asleep.
But the dewy eyes half opened,
When clasped her TO my breast,
And the clear voice softly whispered,
Mamma, God knows all the rest
o, the trusting, sweet confidlng
OF the child heart Would that
Thus might trust my heavenly Father,
He who hears my febiest cry.

the majority of the former All ,2Sl, in
an aggregate vote of 4, ,O34, ,7S9. 1t will

The total vote for President in 1860

A different, and perhaps better, meth
Od of comparison would be as follows:

above, give Grant 2,604, $40, an in
crease of 3SI, ,914 on the Lincoln vote !;
and Seymour, 2, ,2Sl, ,l79, an increase of

therefore, 30, so, against LineOln's

which are this year added to the Elee-
