How to Cook a Bean.

Many cooks have much trouble in
cooking beans. Where hard water is
used, they don't know exactly how much
to s.break'' it, and where soft water is
used they don't know just how long to
boil them, dc. For the benefit of un-
fortunate bean-cookers we give the fol-
lowing excellent receipt.
Buy bean, battle it we'll. put in twelve
quarts of stenched river water (if you
haven't got river, better buy one, as
they are handy to have J, bile it six
hours by an avoirdupois clock, take it
out and wipe it thoroughly dry with a
soft towel--an old SHIRT won't answer
lay it on its northeast side, about two
degrees SOW sow westerly; bore hole
gently in each end, abstract the '.inn-
ards''very quietly without mussing very
much; then stuff one end with soft billed
rice, and the other end with rice billed
soft; the end that pints toward the north
should, in all instances, except in cases
of extreme hemmorage, be stuffed first;
then take the south side of the shell OIL
gently; then the east carefully, so the
eastern people won't know it,then swee
ten with salt, and it will taste so much
like rice you'd never dream it was O
bean.

At public dinner in New York City,
on the 9Th inst; given in honor Of Gen.
Grant, by the Union League Club, Hon.
John Jay, concluded an eloquent vel
coming speech as Chairman, with the
following remarks and toast:
''While we may hear Of wars and ru-
mors Of wars in Europe, the policy of
our chosen President is stamped with
the approval of the country, and his
aspiration which our club now flashes
forth in letters Of living light is breath
ed from ocean to Ocean--LET US HAVE
PEACE. Great applause, In conclu-
sion, let me express to our great guest,
in the name Of the club, our heartiest
and most cordial welcome and rever-
emily recall to his remembrance the
words spoken to him by Lincoln when
presenting the commission Of Lieuten-
ant General, which until then had been
borne by no American but Wash ington:

with loud and long continued applause

Gentlemen of the Union League: 1t
is with extreme regret that find myself
unable to respond in appropriate Ian
guage to the warmth of feeling with
which this toast has been received. You
all know how unaccustomed 1 am to
public speaking, [hearty laughter and
applause, how undesirable talent I
think it is to possess, how little good it
generally does [renewed laughter and
theers1. and how DESTROYS l am to see
more Of our public men follow the good
example which I believe, in this partic
ular if in no other, / have set them,
tremendous applause l need not say,
! must, however, express my acknowl-
edgments to the Union League of this
city, as well to the Union Leagues Of
other cities, for the great benefits they
conferred upon the Government during
the Rebellion through which we have
passed of late years wish to acknowl-
edge their liberality toward myself and
toward the soldiers serving against the
rebellion, and to thank them for it..
Cen Grants speech was followed with
uproarious applause, which continues
for several minutes.
