How TO Cook AN OMELET.-Few articles of
food are so readily attainable, so attractive in
appearance, and so quickly cooked as omelets.
a good and economical omelct is made with
four eggs, well beaten, and added to one cup OF
milk, into which has been stirred one table,
spoonful of pounded cracker and one small
teaspoon of -four Stir the mixture well to-
gether Just before pouring it on the well-but-
tered gridde, which should not be too hot, lest
the omelet should have strong flavor of
scorched butter Turn it as soon as it begins
to "set" around the edge, with a wide -bladed
knife; fold it over once, and then again, and
at once lift the griddlc, and turn the omelet
upon warm plate. 1t will, of course, be of
four thicknesses.
The best and really incest omelet is made
of one egg to one spoonful of milk. For an
unexpected guest this onc-egg omelet is just
the thing for luncheon or tea, as it is so easily
made and turned off the griddle so handsomely.
A very good omelet is made by preparing a
mince-meat of boiled ham, or cold veal, or
chicken, we'll seasoned, and after the egg is
poured upon the griddle, Immediately, scatter
ing on thick layer of the mince and then fold
ing the omelet as usual. Never put salt into
an omelet.
Poached or scrambled eggs should always be
served on square pieces of toasted bread, which
have been dipped for an instant in hot water
and buttered.

An Ungrateful Railroad.

Jones had heard about a widow who had
saved train of cars from destruction by warn
ing the engineer, as the train approached, that
q certain bridge had been washed away and
who was literally rewarded receiving pass
for life on nearly all the railroads in this coun-
try. and present of ten thousand dollars from
the company whose train she saved so Jones
thought it pretty profitable business, and con-
cluded he'd try it.
He lived near railroad bridge, and he an1-
iously watched and waited for it to wash away,
feeling sure that it must go sometime. Every
rainy night he got up and paced the floor by
spells, then took his umbrella and went out 10
see if the bridge was beginning to go; but 1t
was not gone -,
AT last he concluded that if an accident
would not happen Of its own accord, ne would
make one to order, so he got upon high bank
at the side of the track one afternoon anu
rolled big stone down upon the rails.
1t was lust few minutes before the light
ming express was due, and throwing off his coat
and hat. so as to appear as excited as possible,
he went forth to meet it. He saw 1t coming III
the distance, so he tied red cotton handker-
chief to hoe handle and waved 1t above his
head in wild, excited manner, as signal OF
danger. But he presented such singular ap-
pearance that the engineer thought him a
crazy man, escaped from neighboring lunatic
asylum, and so paid no heed to him, and the
train thundered on.
There was a sudden whistle of "down brakes, y
rapid reversing of the engine, then terrible
crash The train was wrecked the engineer
and fireman were instantly killed; the conduc-
tor and all the brakemen dangerously, If not
fatally wounded; and about ten per cent. OF
the passengers horribly mangled.
Jones didn't get pass for life on the prlncl,,
pal railroads Of the country and purse OF
SlO,O 900, but he got ten years in the Penitentl-
a1y for manslaughter, having been seen by a
neirhbor when in the act o. rolling the rock on
the track which caused the calamity.
And now he is learning to manufacture shoes
by the original process, and is OF the opinion
that railroads are curse to the country.

A REMARKABLE CoNvERsIoN.-From Sc
ries of interesting sketches of distinguished
ministers who will attend and address the
Southern Baptist Convention, which meets IN
Raleigh this week, we extract the following
sketch of Rev. DR.. Lorimer, whose remarkable
conversion is here detailed. We copy from the
Raleigh News:
The first person we propose to introduce to
our large North Carolina audience is DR.. u. C
Lorimer, of Boston, Mass. DIR. Lorimer is pas
tor of the Shawmut Avenue Church, and is
perhaps the most popular Baptist preacher IN
Boston. He is Scotch by birth and was stage
actor. During an engagement in Louisville,
KY, he was standing one evening at the door
OF his boarding house, when lady approached
him, and asked him if he would not 60 to
church that night? He replied that he was a
stage actor and had to play that night. She
then asked him if he would not attend church
the next night stating that there was meet
ing of interest in progress at the Walnut Street
Baptist Church. He said, he didn't know, he
was not in the habit of going to church. The
lady insisted on his going, and gave him tract
with the request that he would read it. He
did read it, was impressed by il, and the con-
versation of the strange lady, attended the
meeting which was conducted by DR.. I. G.
TeasdaIe, made profession Of religion, quit
the stage, attended the Georgetown College,
KY, and became Pastor of the Baptist Church
in Paducah, KY.
He was afterwards, for three or four years,
pastor of Walnut Street Church, Louisville,
the largest and wealthiest Baptist Church in
Kentucky, and unfortunately, at the time he
took charge of it, much troubled with dssen-
tions. His pastorage was greatly blessed to
the church. Since the war he has been in
great demand, having been pastor in New
York, then in Albany, and now in Boston,
where he has been for two years. Dr. Lorimer
is not more than thirty-ive years old, and not
probably received his doctorate at an earlier
age than any other man in America. DR.:
Deems was made D. D., at thirty-three, and
DIR. John A. Broadus at about the same age,
but Lorimer was thus honored i'll his thirty
first or second year.

A JOKE ON A TAILoR.-In Boston, many
years ago, there lived las there do now, we ven
ture to say) two young fellows, rather waggsh
in their ways, and who were in the habit of
patronizing rather extensively tailor by the
name of Smith Well, one day, into his shop
these two young bloods strollcd. Says one of
them:
"smith, we've been making bet. Now, we
want you to make each of us suit of clothes /;
wait till the bet is decided, and the one that
loses will pay the whole" Certainly, gentle
men shall be most happy to serve you" says
Smith, and forthwith their measures were tax
en-, and in due time the clothes were sent home
A month or two passed by, and yet our friend,
the tailor, saw nothing of his customers. One
day. however, he met them, and thinking it al
most time the bet was decided, he made up to
them and asked how their clothing fitted
ooh m exccllenty, says one "by the by, Smith,
our bet isn't decided yet" "Ah P says Smith,
"what is it?" "Why, bet that when Bunker
Hill Monument jaiLs 1t ,oH fall toward the
south Bill, hero took me up, and when the
bet is decided we'll call and pay you that little
BILL" Smiths face stretched to double its usu-
al length, but he soon recovered his wonted
good humor.

cents when it was new but there is nothing
like economy
At last she was sure the cup was ready for
use, and telling Bridget to wipe it and place it
with the rest Of the dishes, she withdrew, we'll
satisfied with her efforts at economy, and dis
missed the subject from her mind.
But now comes the cream of the joke. That
evening at the supper table, the lady COM
planned of feeling slightly indisposed; but
thought nothing again of it until, while slipping
her tea, she happened to recall to her mind the
little fact of the corrosive sublimate, when the
idea suddenly occurred to her that she might
have been drinking from the idential cup that
had held the poison. 1t was terrible thought.
What did she do? Did she scream? Not bit
of it But she turned very pale and whispered,
Husband, 1 am poisoned"-and her head
dropped on her breast.
The husband rushed to her, and caught her
in his arms and carried the seemingly lifeless
burden to the sofa and deposited it thereon
By this time Bridget was at hand, moaning and
wringing her hands over her poor unfortunate
"missus."
The husband, half distracted, begged his wife
to tell him what had happened, at the same
time ordering Bridget to run for the doctor.
at is useless to send for the DOCTOR" said the
wife family, II feel that am dying" After
pause, she continued, "throw away that fatal
teacup."
"Please, mssus," sobbed the girl, "what tea
AWhy, the poisoned onc," answered the
lady.
aOh, missus !' exclaimed the girl, her sob
bing increasing in violence, "bad lack to the
cup after giving it dacent washing, and
while was wiping it dhry, 1 dropped it, mum,
and it broke in thousand paces-it did, in
dade num-"
What followed can be better imagined than
described. We will simply add. in conclu-
sion, that the newspaper reporters lost an item,
and the undertakers job. Bridget was not
repremanded for breaking the dish.-Hargord

BACON ON TIME-Everything now a days is
con time-to planters" except the planters
themselves. They are sadly behind time !
With the advertisements of our daily papers as
guide, it appears that about the first of the
nresent month there were nearly two million
bounds of bacon for sale in this city alone
nearly one thousand tons-and large proper
ton of it advertised for sale "on time" Ba-
con is cheap enough to live on, and has been
so for wear. Bacon con time" is far dearer,
since commissions for advancing, acceptance,
dealers profits, interest, and percentage for
risk are all to be added to the present cash val
ue. The planter who falls a prey to these char
ges will find it dear living Yet the poor
planter must not starve to avoid dear living
and what can he do but bny "on time when
he has no cash, and no meat at home!
The matter becomes serious. The majority
say they cannot raise hogs at home, On account
of thieves, or cholera, or some other cause.
Yet we do know there are many planters who
do raise meat at home in abundance. There
are one or two at least, or more in every county
i'm Georgia, who are thus successful! and thrifty.
This is enough evidence to prove that the thing
is possible. and that our people need not send
to the West for bacon con time" unless they
willfully neglect their own resources. No
doubt it is necessary to use more care and pains
in hog raising than before the war, to save our
bacon from Radical thieves. And it is certain
ly necessary that we raise corn, which may be
done if enough of it is planted and worked.
Potatoes peanuts, and artichokes are valuable
helps in making pork, and all these may be
had with ease, if only the necessary work be
done. Surely this great question of the meat
supply for the South needs attention. 1t has
been neglected and overlooked, and needs etE now
to be revived. The millions VIC send west to
pay for meat can be saved at home at q far less
cost, if our own people will make 1t part OF
their business to do so.-Banncr Of tic South d
ENlntcr's Journal.
