OYSTERS BOILED on THE SHELL.-This
is the most delicious way of serving oys-
tiers, and there is no dish which more de-
lights the epicure. 1t is just the thing for
stylish breakfast or handsome supper.
The oysters should be of the largest size !;
and it is well to supply dozen for each
person. Clean the shells with stiff brush,
then open, and save the juice; turn boil
ing water over the oysters for only a min
ute or two; drain it off and lay the oys-
ter on one half of the shell. putting it on
a we'll heated gridiron over very hot fire.
Boil the liquor that came from the oysters
when opened; add it to the shells with a
sprinkle of salt, pepper, and bit of but
ter. Serve.hot on the shells, laid on large

Something might be done to make the
! ~tahies warmer. 1t takes piles to feed
lust to. keep cattle warm. Old Darrell
slaves or Slabs from the saw-mll will
reach from the sill to the lower girts--the
sides of the stable. As for the padding
the stuffing-gi me leaves. They give
a stable a smell of the clean mould of the
woods at once. Along toward spring you
might rake them out for bedding. I've
seen stable so quilted for winter, that it
was almost too tight and warm. There
should certainly be holes for ventilation,
rs the weather demands, and these should
be left at the bottom. That is where the
dead air hangs in tight stable. When
the cattle lie down, they are liable to be
swamped in it.

WILL GRANT WITHDRAW I'VE
copy this extract from a Washington.
special, dated Monday, to the New
York Herald:
1t is useless to deny the very evil
dent fact that the Greeley Brown tick
ct is growing in favor. As the impulse
on the part of the Democrats in sup
port of the proposition for regular
ticket dies away, as it certainly is dy-
ing away, the feeling in favor of an
other candidate at Philadelphia than
General Grant finds an Increase of
friends. The proposition, or suppose
ton, that Grant would withdraw,
originally looked at as prepOsterous,
is now matter of serious considera-
ton. Whispered suggestions that
either Blaine OF. Boutwell, woul make a
better run against Greeley than Grant
have grown in strength Of utterance,
until now they are talked aloud in the
departments and at the Capitol. The
number of Democrat VINO have retreat
ed from their first declarations OF OPP
position to the Cincinnati nominations
| is greater today than it was yester-
day, and will be still greater to-mor-
row. In TACT, it is now among the pro-
liabilities, as well as the possibilities,
of the future that Mr.. Greeley will re-
ceive the Democratic Endorsement
Republicans who, up to r recent date,
have been acknowledged Grant men
now admit that Grant is the only
stumbling block in the way OF a re-or
ganization of the old party in all il
