All Ahnui Oysters.

As the oyster season has arrived, we
give the following good recipes from
the Germantown 7tlegrdph:
OYSTER sour.
Put two quarts of oysters, liquor and
all, in a pan, set them on the stove to
heat, but don't let them boil or come
very near to It 4; now drain all the liquor
into your soup kettle, put in piut of
water and two quarts Of new milk, half
a pound of butter, little whole all
spice and pepper; have the oysters all
this time where they will keep warm,
add them and salt to taste just as you
are ready to serve the soup; break up
some crackers fine and put into the
soup before the oysters are put in.
Salt should always be put in the last
thing in any soup, stew or fricassee,
where milk is used, or it is apt to cur
die. Oysters should never be boiled
but only scalded it makes them tough
and shrinks them all up; if they are to
be stewed, heat them hot but don't boil
them; always have the soup or gravy
hot
OYSTER STEW.
Put as many good fresh oysters, will
their liquor, as you think you will need
into pan on the stove to heat, but not
boil. Drain the juice off into a sauce
pan, as soon as it boils, add half a pount
of butter and some pepper when thii
bols add pint of cream and thicken {
little with flour; after this boils up one
put in the oysters and more salt If nee
essary. Serve very hot.
OYSTER TOAST.
The same, only no cream; thicker
the Juice little with flour; when tn
stew is ready have few slices OF toas
laid in a dish (well buttered,) and pou
the oysters over it. 1t is best to hea
the dish hot that you put your oyster
in to send to the table, as they are 81
much better hot than merely warm.
OYSTER STEW WITHOUT CREAM.
Make in all respects the same as will
cream, only substituting half pint O
water for the cream. Many person
prefer oysters stewed in this way.
OYSTER FRITTERs.
Make a batter of milk, flour, eggs
cream of tartar, saleratus, salt in prope
proportion. Don't make any thicke
than for pan cakes. Drop an oyste
into each spoon of batter as you dip i
out and fry in hot lard, brown well OIL
both sides.
OYSTERS FRIED.
Drain the oysters well, roll in tin'
rolled cracker and fry in hot lard ant
butter, two-thirds lard, one thirt
butter.
OYSTER-PIE
Line deep basin with puff-paste
fold large towel and place inside t
support the lid, then roll and ornamen
piece of paste the same as for com
mon pie, put on the basin and bak
slowly; have an oyster stew made a
above, without cream, and fill the basil
as soon as the paste is done. Serve i'm
mediately.

Der. A Budget had been presented for
the first time in the history Of Peru.
There is a surplus in the treasury, busl-
ness is looking mp, and the condition OF
affairs everywhere Is satisfactory. There

ton. A new Italian line OF steamers
has been established between Buenos
Avres, Valporaiso and California.
The cattle desease is prevalent in

The French cruisers have captured
some German vessels near Valparaiso.
Troubles with the Indians have
ceased in Chill.
The new mines at Caracoles are as,
certaihed to be fabulously rich. Prepa'
tions are being made to work them.

journed. New railroads were in course
Of construction.
