How TO TELL Diseased MEAT.--,n
view of the fact that there is danger that
diseased meat may find its way into market:
it may be stated, as guide to meat pur-
chasers, that healthy meat is firm and elias
tic to the touch, and hardly moistcns the
fingers. Diseased meat is soft and wet,
and serum often runs from it. Good
meat has but little odor and that by no
means disagreeblc. Diseased meat has Il
faint and cadavcrous smell. This is
best, observed by cutting it and smelling
the knife, or by pouring Il little warm wa
ter over it when chopped. 1t loses, also
ten per cent. more weight in cooking than
when healthy. The diseases cngcndercd
by bad meat arc chiefly diarrhea and tape
worm. 1t often creates carbunclcs and
boils. Care should be taken to have meat
most thoroughly cooked, if consumers
wish to avoid all possibility OF animalcua.
E@ Pudding-bags should be made of
thick, close sheeting, to exclude the water.
Before putting in the pudding, wiring the
bag out in water, then thoroughly flour
the inside. In tying it down leave room
to swell; they are hard and heavy if much
crampcd. An old plate should be placed
in the bottom of the pot to keep the bag
from burning to it. The water should
boil quickly when the pudding is put in,
and it should be moved about for minute
lest the ingredients shouldn not mix. Keep
the pudding covered with water, and do
not let them stop boiling. Fill up with
boiling water, as cold would spoil the pud-
ding. Dip the bag in cold water just be-
fore turning out the pudding.
Pudding Sauce.-Onc pint of sugar, one
tablespoonful of vinegar, piece Of butter
the size of an egg; boil fifteen minutes
add one tablespoonful of rose-watcr, little
nutmeg; boil it with the sugar, in nearly
pint of water and large tablespoonful
of -four

THE HANDsoMEsT CARS IN THE World
The Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
Railroad Company ran out of their shops in
Wilmington last week three or four new cars
intended for the through line from Washing
ton to New York, which are said to be the
handsOmest railroad carriages in the world
They are furnished with silver mounted iron
work, spittoons, and marble top wash stands,
highly FURNISHED lamps, elegant mirrors, and
rich Turkish carpets. They are parttioned in
saloons capable of holding from four to eight,
for the use of a party or fatnily-while row
of single seats extends on the opposite side.
Another car is especially arranged for sleeping
the bed, when not prepared, is above the
ceiling of the car. When the bed is prepared
it is as luxurious as the finest spring mattrass,
and when it is in its place in the ceiling, the
car presents the most beautiful and luxuriou;
appearance of any carriage in the world.-DeL

THE SPANISH REvoLUTION.-It is generally
known, now, that the people of the tottering
kingdom of Spain are in revolt against the au-
thorisy Of Queen Isabella, and that the revolu-
tionists are marching on Madrid. Itisneedless to
give, in detail, the causes of this outbreak, but
we think think the following extract from the
~ T. 1in,es will prove sufficient. eff there
were any secret about the wickedness and
treachery of1sabella, or if her morals affected
her private relations alone, there might be JUS
tice in criticising the language applied to her.
But her debaucheres are matters of the great
est notoriety all over Spain, and the doubts
hanging over the legitimacy of her children are
grounds of public quarrel concerning the sue
cession to the throne"

HORSE STOLEN-A horse belonging to Mr.
Benjamin 9. Pierce, Of Wilmington, was stolen
that place. The thief arrived in Milford on
Saturday, 10th inst, and traded the horse off
to gentleman by the name of VIM. Lofand,
near this place. He took Lofand's horse and
went on his way rejoicing. On Tuesday no.
tices arrived at the Hotel in Milford with re-
ward of $50 for the horse, and the description
was so we'll given that it was at once known
that 1t was the horse Lohand had traded for on
Saturday. Between Saturday and Tuesday
the horse had changed hands, having been
traded and sold. But Mr.. Pierce arrived on
Wednesday, proved his property and took his
horse and the loss falls back on Lofand, who
traded first with the thief. Mutual Friend.
