Professor Blot on Pastry, Coffee
and Tea.
From the N. 7. Post
On the occasion Of the last Of his course
Of lectures on the art Of cooking, PROBES
sor Blot gave an interesting account OF the
proper manner oil making good pastry
The lecture began on puff.paste. Puff
paste, though believed by many TO be
complicated, in the hands Of Professor
Blot Is very easily and very simply made.
Take one pound Of -four, which you lmead
TO stiff dough with about one pint Of
water and pinch Of salt; then envelope
one pound Of butter inside Of 1t, roll 1t
down to q thickness Of about three.eighths
Of an inch, fold 1t and roll down again
Repeat the process four times and the
paste 10 made. ..a.......-..... ....
Three other kinds Of paste were made,
among which were excellent little hard
tea cakes. To make good cakes, one
must have good -four, dry and well sifted,
fresh eggs, good butter, and white sugar.
Cakes made with lard he discards entirely,
as heavy and bringing on dyspepsia.
i
said that bread containing the bran is
much more nourishing than that made
with siIted flour, but the hard cellular
tissue which 1t contains, makes It much
moro difficult ofdigestion, causes injurious
irritation and diarrhGa in weak digestive
organs; therefore, brown bread is the
best for persons having outdoor manual
labor, and white bread Is better for per-
sons having sedentGy occupations, and
for mental labor.
The process of making good coffee was
also demonstrated. Professor Blofs
method Is very simple. He uses an or.
binary filter, puts the ground coffee In,
pours boiling water over 1t, and the coffee
Is made. He said that II coffee is boiled
the aroma Is evaporated and what Is left
OF the volatile oil In It Is extracted (which
makes q bitter, muddy beverage; coffee
must be percolated but not boiled. Coffee
has the property, when taken after dinner
without milk, 10 promote digestion; 1t in
Fcreases the secretion Of the diSsolving
juices; 1t excites the activity Of tho brain,
and somewhat that Of the nerves; taken
in excess, 1t causes sleeplessness and ex.
element similar to alcoholic intoxication.
Coffee Is good for old age, weak digestive
organs, and phlegmatic constitutions u. 1t
acts directly on the blood, the same as
tea acts directly on the nervous system.
Tea excites also the activity Of the brain
and nerves. II taken to excess, 1t excites
the irritability Of the nerves, produces
restlessness and trembling of the limbs.
asThe excitement produced by an excess
ton. 1t Is excellent against fever In
damp climates and marshy countries, but
should not be taken ut breakfast on ac-
count Of It's astringency. Taken warm,
while eating, it causes the food to pass
through the system without nourlshing
it, and brings on debility. t Ggt n

AS you WE'RE, GENTL EMEN!"
The lightning flashes from the granite hills
of New Hampshire an admonition to the con-.
tending Republican powers in Washington
that only madness can disregard.
For fifteen years, during all the mutations
of politics, New Hampshire has given an un-
broken line of Republican victories. Penn
sylvania faltered in 1862 and again in
1867 and Ohio faltered in 1862, but the
Granite State has been uniformly Republican
since 1855.
Now, the opening gun of the political cam
paign of 1871 appalls the Republican ranks,
and foreshadows the loss of every debatable
State.
Can any one doubt the significance and
meaning of this verdict? He who runs may
read that it is solemn protest against the
suicidal degradation of craftsmanship to
serve the despotic power of the jobbers who
have fastened like vampires on the vitals of
the party.
1t is a declaration of the people that the
of one trusted and accepted statesmen shall
not be paralyzed by faction.
Sumner has been humiliated, and driven
from the place he could of all others most
ftly fill, because he honestly differs with the
peculators of the capital, and the confessed
and conspicuous jobber of the Senate elevated
to position that proclaims the disgrace of
the nation.
New Hampshire announces, in tones too
emphatic to be misunderstood, that the wrong
shall be corrected. 1t must be done, OF tho
mutterings from the extreme Northeast will
be but the precursor of the whirlwind. To
Senators Sumner and Csmeron they say, in
the most pointed terms, "AS yOu s0ere, gen.
tenenF Will the President hearken while il
is yet time? Will Cameron obey the Almost
universal voice of the nation? We shall see.

THE COMMISSION Bills.


The Commission bills were yesterday re-
ported negatively to the House of Repre-
sentatiyes from the Committee on Mu-
nicipal Corporations, after disgraceful
scene in which some of the advocates
of the iniquitous scheme to plumber
the city of Philadelphia spoke out in meeting
much more distinctly than they have done
heretofore. 1t appears that after ma
lority of the committee had ordered the
bills to be reported negatively, Mr.. Parsons,
the clerk of the committee, took it upon him.
self to distribute them to Messrs Duffy, Nc
Gowan, and Mooney, who we're supposed to
be in favor of their passage, instead of hand
ing them to Mr.. Johnston, the chairman, who
was opposed to them. The object of this
arrangement was undoubtedly to enable the
bills to be brought before the House in such
manner that simple MAJ ajority could act
upon them, but the plans of the
Conspirators were defeated by the course
adopted by Mr.. Johnston for forcing report.
This gentleman has the reputation of being
one of the few honest men in the Philadel-
phia delegation, and he is entitled to the
thanks of the citizens of Philadelphia for his
effort yesterday to kill the bills. Mr.. John
ston reported that he had been instructed by
the Committee on Municipal Corporations to
make report that the committee had agreed
to recommend that the Philadelphia commits
sion bills should be reported to the House
with a negative recommendation, but that by
some means they had been kept from his
possession, and that in reporting upon them
he was unable to return the bills to the
oto o1x,I o1,t
virtuous Josephs to his feet with
the objection that it was not a proper
report, and that it was consequently
out of order. An acrimonious debate fol-
lowed, in which Mr.. Johnston was heartily
abused by some of his low-committeemen
for endeavoring to spoil their little game,
and Messrs. Parsons, Duffy, Lamon, Nc
Gowan, and Mooney, of the committee, and
Josephs, as an independent and immaculate
legislator, exhibited themselves for the edif
cation of their fellow citizens as ardent advo-
Gates of the commissions. The upshot of
the whole matter was that Messrs. Duffy,
MCGOWAN, and Mooney were obliged to re-
port the bills negatively, according to the in
structions of the committee, which
disposes of them for the present.
We warn our readers, however, that the
commission scheme is not dead yet, and the
most vigorous efforts should be made by the
citizens of Philadelphia to kill it effectually.
After the debate yesterday was concluded, Mr..
Johnston produced the signatures of the fol-
lowing members of the committee to his re-
port, SO that they may be considered as fully
pledged to oppose the commission bills in
any shape:-Messrs Johnston, Albright,
Walker, Grifiths, Miller, Dumbell, Fleeger,
White, Buck, Starr, and Lewis. The mem
bers of the committee in favor of the bills
would thus remain: Parsons, Duffy,
Wiley, Quigley, Hager, Lamon, Mooney, Har-
vey, Meek, and MCGOWAN. These last-named
individuals must be watched.

NO MORE AT PRESENT.

SOME of the Republicans of the House
of Representatives voted with the
Democrats of that body yesterday, and thus
passed by nearly two-thirds vote resolution
providing for the appointment of a commit
tee of thirteen to inquire into the condition
of the Southern States at any time preceding
December next; this committee or such sub
committees as it may designate being autho-
rized to visit during the recess any portion of
the Southern States. The object of this
measure is to ascertain whether further
national legislation for the protec-
tion of Southern loyalists is necessary,
and the objection made to it by some of Che
more radical Republicans is based on the
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1871-03-16

theory that the necessity of such legislation
has already been SO thoroughly demonstrated
that it is useless to make such inquiries
Practically the scheme for reoonstructing
reconstruction is postponed until December,
and if the Rebels are on their good behavior
during the coming summer, it is probably
killed.
That there are bad men in the South ready
and over-anxious to do bad and wicked
things, and that among these wicked things
is a desire to revenge the reverses and rebuffs
occasioned by the repression of the Rebel
lion, cannot be doubted; but it is O doubtful
question whether additional legislation by
Congress Will not do quite as much
harm as good. The negro has been armed
with the ballot and all other civil rights; and
if these great weapons of self-protection do
not prove efficacious, it will be mainly because
hosts of leading white Southern loyalists have
weakened the Southern Republican organiza-
tions by insane and ridiculous quarrels, by a
scandalous abuse of temporary power, and by
undue anxiety to ask the whole nation,
through Congress, to repair the evil conse-
quences ofAheir individual political crimes
and follies.
1t is high time that interests of immediate
importance to the people of the whole nation
commanded the attention of the powers that
be. For twenty years topics connected with
the condition of the South have been first in
order in the councils of the United States
Government. During the first half of that
period (from 1850 to 1S6O) the slaveholding
interest was in the ascendancy, and it was
perpetually devising new schemes for protec-
ton and aggrandizement; five years, from 1860
to 1865, have been given up to fighting
the Rebellion; and five or six years more,
from 1866 to 1901, to some of the diversified
forms of reconstruction. And now, the
section which, in spite of all this agitation,
remains one of the most useless and unpro-
ductive grand divisions of the Union, should
subside into the background, and be merged
after some fashion into the common coun-
try, so that it will no longer require legisla-
tion peculiar to itself. The Northern people
are weary of real or imaginary difficulties that
can never be settled, and that, let them
assume what shape they will, add new bur-
dens to the North and increase the tend
ency to neglect her welfare
