COOKING A BEEF STEAK.-Mrs. Lucy
Lamb says: "The other day nice look,

my kitchen, bringing good recommends
ton from a family of my acquaintance.
When dinner time came asked her if she
could cook the steak: %, ycs'm,-shall l
put grease under IT, Seeing that her
ideas Of the way Of doing itwere somewhat
different from mine, got out the grid
iron, made ready the Goals and proceeded
to show her my way. In the first place l
cut out the bone and trim off the superAu
Gus fat which would otherwise burn and
smoke the meat If the steak is good
one, it is better not to pound it, as this
causes flow and waste of the juices Of the
meat, which ought to be preserved. Have
the Goals abundant and glowing, and the
iron hot. Lay the meat upon the bars
aud place over it a cover made for the pur-
pose. Turn the steak every half minute
until it is done. Have the platter hot and
when ready to take up, scatter daintily
over its surface little pepper and salt.
Lay on the hot platter and put bits of but
ter over it aud send to the table immedi-
ately. Now this seems a very simple
thing, end many readers, perhaps, will
say, There is no need of telling us how
to broil steak; weknow that we'll enough
Very true, but there may be few yet
who think the only way is to put the nice
loin or porterhouse steak into the frying
pan with generous quantity of grease
under it, aud let it simmer and stew un-
Til it is unfit for savage, much less for
one who values his physical or mental
health. It is sometimes difficult to obtain
good Goals, when the lighter kinds Of wood
are used, and in such cases 1 use the
frying pan instead of the sridirou, but

turn often and proceed the same as with
the gridiron. Salt should never be added
until the meat is done, and the less pepper
the better, to my mind. "-Agricultxrist.

Foreign and Domestic Insurance Com
Dauiea.

Among the bills passed by the last Legis-
lnture, and now in Gov. HoFFMAN's hands
awaiting approval, is one which will impose
upon the agencies of British insurance com.
panies the same regulations and restrictions
as are enforced upon all American companies.
At present foreign ompanies enjoy privi-
leges not permitted TO domestic companies.
They may, for example, take risks to an un-
limited amount upon 4 single building or
stock Of goods, whereas domestic companies
are restricted to ten per cent. of their origi.
nal capital, without regard TO their accumu.
lated profits or surplus They are exempt
from visitation by the State Superintendent,
to which domestic companies are liable, and
may insure In the most reckless and improvi-
dent manner, without having to fear, as our
own companies do, a summary stoppage of
their business.
While, too, domestic companies must keep
their capital intact, according to an arbitrary
estimate of their outstanding risks and I'M
earned premiums, foreign companies, whose
only available capital in this State is their
deposit of two hundred thousand dollars
with the Superintendent, may have out
policies TO the amount of millions, and are
not intcrfered with. An illustration of the
practical working Of this extraordinary sys-
TEN of favoritism Of the alien underwater, 10
found in the fact that out of nearly one hun
dred and forty American companies transact
ing business in this city, not half dozen
have risks upon the Public Stores oil of this
immense class Of risks being swallowed up
by the English companies.
Again, while domestic companies pay taxes
on their whole capital, foreign companies
escape taxation in great measure, If not alto.
| gether. The result is that our own companies
cannot successfully compete for business with
their foreign rivals and ofcourse suffer seri
GUS dimnution Of their income.
This inequality and injustice the bill now
in the Governors hands is designed to
remedy II does not attempt TO give any new
| privileges to domestic companies, but only
to require foreign companies to comply
with the regulations which have been adopted
for the protection of dealers with domestic
companies That it should become law
is one Of those obvious proprieties which we
should suppose the Governor could hardly
| fail TO perceive.

The Great Revelation In the south.

CHARLESTON, s. c., May l6, 1s7o.-A remarka-

main floor, Occupying seats tho right, while the
whites the left, but In the back part OF the
hall every shade OF complexion blended in common.
The Chairman was white South Carolinian, whose
graceful department. and whose small hands,
carefully covered with green kids, particularly
noticeable when he deIterously welded the gavel to
preserve order. The vice-Presidents, numerically
large, were half pure white the remainder were
from yellow to Jet black. One OF the latter wore
handsome, gbtntting black coat, with a conspicu-
ousy large red blooming In abuttonhole, white
vest with brass buttons, tight white pants, aud a
narrow and stiff choker collar. The President ap-
peaed to the negroes to come forward and, shout

reform in the management Of the Government ofthe
State. Let us move forward as one man." were
the closing words OF his harangue. Another
southerner said =" am willing to vote for any man.

which meets In Columbia on the 18th proximo, there
was trouble. A list Of names reported that was
voted down, but the Chairman decided Otherwise,
and then followed disorder. However, the cut and

not disperse for come time afterward, not until
they had given protracted vent TO great variety OF

Tne Aaeiphi Academy in BROOKLYN has been
in strange commotion. All the teachers suddenly
quit, and others engaged to hll their places.
The Trustees OF the Institution having thought II
necessary to publish circular explaining why the
School was len without teacher, The sur has
thought II well to inquire into the circumstances
Briefly they are these:
Seven years ago Mr.. John Lockwood opened .
school with eleven pupils. to which he gave the
somewhat prctentious title Of the "Adephi Acad-
envy" TIE school prospcred, and In less than fve
Year, Mr.. Lockwood found himself compelled TO ap-
peal to his friends for aid In building larger edi6ce,
to meet the growing wants of the school. The
funds were readily raised. Mr. Lockwood was the
acknowledged owner OF the building, but he had TO
pay on the debt.
In year or two he found that this would be a
lifelong job, he made the institution TO a
number OF gentlemen a. corporators These cor
porstors appointed Board OF Trustees, who elected.
by prearrangement, Mr.. Lockwood as Principal OF
the school.
The Trustees had been but short time In ONCE,
however, when they began advising Mr.. Lockwood
concerning the MANAGEMENT OF his school. This
advice Mr.. Lockwood, being an experienced tescher,
declined TO accept. lie was next waited upon by
the Trustees with their ORDERS and these he tsctly
refused to obev. Such conduct was too much for
the new fedred educators, and they held an indig.
nation meeting, at which they declared they would
never again elect Mr.. lockwood as Principal.
Mr.. Lockwood now made a proposition to them
in writing that. as the parents Of the pupils were
much better judges than the Board OF Trustees, the
dispute should be lett to them. Such o proposition
the Trustees took a. an insult. Accordingly, they
returned Mr.. Lockwoods communication, and with
IL his instant dismissal The subordinate teachers
In the Academy except one az once resigned pass-
ing resolutions tymmthizing with Mr. lockwood,
and condemning the Board. A meeting OF the
patrons OF the school also held and resolutions
were passed expressive OF perfect confidence in Mr.
Lockwood, and calling on the Board TO reinstats
running the school.
