"uow Mother Did Is.o

II we we're to suggest one which
above all other things combined would
most contribute to the happiness of
the young housekeeper, 1t would be to
learn how to cook as q husbands
mother cooked. Mother used to make
coffee so and so mother used to have
such watfies ; and mother knew just
how thick, or how thin, to make Il
squash pie; and oh! if only could
taste of mother 8 biscuit. Such are
the comments of the husband and OF
too many meal tables. 1t would only
be q little more cruel for the husband
to throw his fork across the table, or
to dash the contents Of his tsa.cup III
his wifc's face. The experience Of a
contrite husband Is good reading for
those men whose daily sauce Is "how
mother did it." He says:
l found fault some time ago with
Maria Anus custard pie, aud tried TO
tell her how my mother made custard
pie. Maria made the pic after my re-
ceipt. 1t lasted longer than any pie
we ever had. Maria set it on the table
every day for dinner, and you sec |
could not eat 1t because | forgot to tell
her to put In any eggs, or shortening.
It was economical. but in a fit of gem
erosity | stole 1t from the pantry and
gave 1t to a poor little boy In the
neighborhood. The boys funeral was
largely attended by his former play
mates. I did not 20 myself.
Then there was the buckwheat cakes.
I told Maria Ann any fool could beat
her making those cakes, and she said

The batter did not look quito right,

yeast, to be sure. l had forgotten
the yeast. l went and woke up the
baker and got six ccnts' worth OF
yeast. l set the pitcher behind tho

prepared to enjoy my triumph, but |
didn't. That yeast was strong enough
to raise tho dead. and the batter was
running all over the carpet. Iscraped
it up and put 1t into another dish.
Then I got q fire in the kitchen and
put on the griddle. The first lot Of

"Therc's Good limo Coming,
Boys.O

The Sacramento Record of Tuesday
thus glowingly and no doubt truth
fully pictures the bright prospects Of
California within the present year:
A year ago we languished for water,
and our prayers were not responded
to. Our pastures dried up, our bot
tom land became valueless, and our
merchants and business men wore ter
ribly loug faces. 1t is the simple
truth that If this Winter had been 4
Try one some hundreds of people
would have been utterly ruined, many
thousands Of acres would have been
rendered valueless, and i~ncalculable
numbers of sheep and cattle would
nave been destroyed. We can talk Of
those things, row that the danger has
passed, but we know how close 1t was.
Again, in the mines the same calamity
brooded over everything. There was
no water, and no water meant ruin
and devastation. We all kept the
impending troubles a. quiet as posi-
BILE, as people generally hide family
troubles, but We did not feel them any
the less, or look forward to the consc-
quences any the less bitterly. And
now the rain has come. In such tor
rents as to wash away all our doubts
and all our suspicious. Every creek
in the mountains Is OVERLOOKING, and
We have had too much water in the
plains. Even Sacramento, admirably
fenced rs she Is, has experienced some
alarm from tho tremendous and per-
sistent down-pour, and we have been
compelled to ask ourselves whether,
in spite of our assumed confidence.
our boosted levees were strong enough
TO save us. Fortunately for lis they
nave thus far equaled all our expccts-
tons, and though the country all
around US Is under water, we have not
to complain of even so much rs a
flooded cellar.
But how bountiful n prospect we
have, from this splendid rainfall.
Never before has there been within
fifty per cent. of the area now pre-
pared for grain, and then comes the
oountlful rain, pouring In welcome
floods oye our low lands, and satu-
rating the great valleys rs they have
not been saturated for at least ten
years before. The San Joaquin valley
will now blossom like the rose, and
those who have invested In that die
trict will realize fifty and sixty fold
on their expenditure. 1t may seem
somewhat selfish to comment thus
upon the splendid advantages which
California will derive from these rains,
but those are the only things she has
to depend upon; and we are justified,
on the morning Of the New Year, In
e%xpatiating upon the most inviting
topics. 1t IL not too much to say that
the year 1872 opens with brighter
prospects than any Of its predecessors,
and that the State has a better right
to expect a happy and prosperous
than anything In the past has
justified. Every drop Of the generous
that have now fallen represents
bushel Of wheat and all the bless
ings that q bushel Of wheat can bring
to a toiling people.

DEATH OF ELISHA CooK.-On Sltt-
day last died Elisha Cook, aged IS
years. Perhaps few among u Cali
fornia lawyers possessed more true
original talent and indomltable pcrse-
verance than the subject Of this brief
notice. Elisha Cook vas q native Of
Johnstown, Montgomery county, New
York. He was for many years a lead
ing lawyer In Buffalo, and established
n reputation there rs a man Of rare
legal talent and brilliant parts. His
victories In this State, to which he
came over twenty years ago, have
been numerous and decisive, though
Cook has often had the best lawyers In
the country arrayed against him in
cases where he has came out victorious.
In the cas- OF Char 81 Duane, arralGned
for the murder Of Colonel Ross, Mr..
Cook defended the prisoner with re-
markable ability, and, finally, had the
satisfaction of seeing him acquitted.
In the trial Of NeuvaI, for the murder
Of Carrie Diamond, he also displayed
unusual energy and talent, and by his
exertions Neuval was cleared OF the
charge against him. In the Laura d.
Fair case his argument vas one Of the
most eloquent and mastery defenses
ever made at a California bar. and
consumed three days In Its delivery.
Mr.. Cook has long suffered from rheu-
matte govt, but through illness and
suffering has always stood to his post
and the interest Of his clients. A
short time ago he changed his resi-
dence to Santa Rosa for his health, but
returned a few days previous to his
death to attend to n suit, which the
Chronicle had pending In the Courts.
He has been the counsel for the Chron-
icle for q period Of three years. and
the very last case he tried was 4 libel
suit against this paper. He died at .
o'clock or Sunday evening, and the
funeral Is announced to take place on
Wednesday next from his late resi-
dence. corner of Seventeenth street
and Hoff avenues. f.. Chronicle,

WHEN a woman makes up her mind
to have anything, she Is pretty sure to
get 1t. Probably that assertion will
not be disputed. Atany rate an illus
tration Of its truth comes from Cincin-
natl. The good dame of n citizen of
that place could not persuade her lord
to get her a patent clothes-dryer. So
she took the pole out from her old
fashioned line the other evening, and
crouching down behind the fence,
screamed "murder." In an instant
her startled spouse came flying out of
the house, was caught across the throat
by the clothes-line, and before he could
recover himself 1t had nearly sawed
his head OIL. The next morning a
sombre-looking individual, with his
neck all done up In cloths and band
ages, was seen putting up q patent
clothes-dryer in that yard.

The terrible maelstrom off tho
coast of Norway has unaccountably
disappeared. A late traveller says
there is no such whirlpool. and
that it is only when the tide, cur.
rent, and wind are at loggerheads
in the narrow strait between ILos-
kenaessor and the lofty isolated
rock of Mosken that any agitation
is visible at all. He is. Therefore
of the opinion that some such phe
nomenon as this. seen from the
shore and exaggerated by the hor-
ror of the beholder, gave rise to
all the marvellous legends of the
maelstrom. It is sad to part with
an old friend, but really there is
no help for it. Science is iuexor
able. and that magnificent old
myth of the sea. that has been
swallowing ships it the school
geography for generations, must
come out of that truthful text hook
as Scylla aud Chary bdis, and a
good many other myths, have done
before.

Some rowd:es interrupted Methodist
meeting in New Jersey. The New York Sun
says: "Brothsr Cooper singled out his man,
and jerked him t, the door, when the two fell
out across the stoop into the door yard in q

out waiting to see the result of this exit,
Brother Fisher followed with another son Of
Belial, who also went under. Then came
Brother Hinchman with his man, and the
other brethren with their men and soon the
door-yard was fillsd full of sin and iniquity

knew what they had hold of. But the dark
ness was soon disp slIed by the glare of kerr
osene lamps held BY the sisters on ths door
steps, when the one-sidednsss of the contest
was seen, and the brethren lie: up. Strange
to say, no one of the good men was scratch-

sopped with mud. But those wicked young
