PEPPER POT.-A correspondent Of the
New York Tribune, writing from Jamaica,
gives the following graphic picture of
wcll-known dish;
The old fashioned pepper pot soup, an In
digenous West Indian dish, Is thought de-
cldcdly vulgar by the present generation of
English and seml-English housekeepers.
This used to be standing dish In families
Of every class, and sometimes old ladies
would tell you at table that the soup you
were eating was century old. Tradition
states that daily, monthly, yearly, for
whole century this beautiful pot was kept
boiling aud steamlng away, never ceaslng
at breakfast and dinner to send forth It's
Odorous welcome to hungry guests. The
Pepper pot 10 made In the following way: A
large, very thick, deep earthenware pot or
bowl Ia placed over the fire, and into this
are thrown pieces OF beef, mutton, salt pork,
fowls, ham bones, crabs, HOLSTERS, all kinds
Of egetables-eyerything In fact, which
can be used for soup, with q very large
quantity Of peculiar West Indian yegetN-
bic called calalue. On the top Of this pot IL
placed q circular cover made OF brass wire,
and fastened down with a hasp and paddock.
| The mistress of the house keeps the keys Of
this herself, and never allows the coveFtO
! no taken of except In her presence; this Is
done to prevent the cook and servants from
| dipping their fingers Into the soup, for they
say that no fear Of punishment would cause
! negro to resist the temptation Of tasting
pepper pot had he II chance to do SO. This
same pot with It's cover Ia brought to the
table and placed upon a mahogany stand
made expressly for IT. the lady Of the house
then very tremendously unlOCks IL, ladies
out the soup, and, relocking II, sends it back
| to the kitchen.

j. l.. LAKE, EsQ.-At late meeting OF the
New York State Republican Association J.
L. Lake, ESQ.,, was elected second vice presl-
dent. Mr.. Lake Is fiom oswego, and his
home paper, the oswego Advertiser and Tipns,
thus compliments him on his selection, and
pays a deserved tribute to one whose pa.
triotic deeds during the war will not soon 10
forgotten
Mr.. Lakes friends In Oswego will be
pleased 10 see him compllmented by the po-
sltlon accorded him In tho Association. His
patriotic and humane services to the Union
cause and Union soldiers during the darkest
days of the rebellion are gratefully remem-
bered In Oswego county, particularly by the
sick and wounded soldiers who were the sub.
Jccts of the attentions Of himself and family.
Mr. Lake held pass from the Secretary Of
War, by means Of which he could gain ad-
mlttance to the hospitals before and after
Office hours, and daily did he and his wife
visit these scenes OF suffering throughout the
continuance Of the war. II Ia well known,
too, that he was generous TO the last dollar
ieving the pecuniary wants o. a. solsiers-
particularly In Furnishing necessaries for tha
sick md wounded In the hospitals. His
"latch string" was always out to Oswego-
mans looking after their friends, and his
house was equally the home OF all Oswego
county soldiers. Mrs. Lake unhinchingiy
and alphabetically Joined her husband in
his devoted services, even to the point Of in
curing serious sickness through her assidu-
Gus labors In the hospitals. We have occa-
sion to remember the weekly reports Of the
condition of the Oswego county soldiers In
hospital, which he furnished the county
press, and the amount Of labor he performed
in hunting up the sick and wounded in dis
tant hospitals at the request Of friends, the
tender care with which he saw their bodies
Inferred or sent home TO their friends all
this Is unrecorded except In the memories Of
those he served and In the books which shall
be opened at the great day. And only When
we consider that all was done without re
ward or expectation of reward can we ap
preclate the real value OF his dlsintercstet
and patriotic services. We owe an endles
debt OF gratitude to our soldlery, but W
should be equally grateful to all those VIII
served the country like John L. Lake.
