water two hours. Then boil. When done

Then chop very fine, season with butter
pepper, and salt to suit the taste. Press
all of it closely into an earthen bowl OF
mold, and bake in a moderate oven one
hour. When done turn it out and send
to table hot, leaving each to dress with
pepper and vinegar, or eat plain. This
is said to be more healthy than the com.
mon way. We have not tried it.
Potato CHoPs.-Boil and mash some
nice mealy potatoes; then with one or
two well.beaten eggs make them into
paste, work it well, dust it over with
flour, and roll out. Take some nice thin
neck of mutton or lamb chops, carefully
trim of the fat, pepper and salt them on
both sides, cut the paste into shape, cover

The Force and Disposition Of the Al my.
General Sherman, in his report to Tho

General Sherman, in his report to the
Secretary of War, says:
The aggregate force of the army now con.
sists of 1886 men, all of whom are as
actively employed as though war existed.
BY the subdivision of territory, every foot of
the country is under the supervision of a
General officer near at hand, with part of
the army, proportional to the supposed
necessity to maintain order and peace,
whereby the settlement of the country may
progress, and civil officers be enabled to en-.
force the laws of the United States. In the
Military Division of the Atlantic, there are
no hostile Indians, but troops have been
actively employed aiding United States
Marshals in enforcing the Revenue laws, and
in protecting the weak against
the .prejudices of the strong, in
the frequent cases of civil elections.
These duties call for the highest
qualities Of hrmness and prudence, and am
sure that the behavior of the troops, in
every instance, has commanded the respect
OF all men. The care and preservation of
public property and of the seaeoast forts, is
chief duty of the troops. The chief
military events of the year have trapspired
in the military division of the Missouri,
where state of actual war has existed
for many years and still continues. am
not yet in possession of General Sheridan's
report, but, in anticipation of its receipt,
will endeavOr to give concise account
OF some of the chief events as gathered
from the reports and letters receive during
their progress.
In the Department of the Gulf, the troops
under General Anger have been shifted
from place to place in aid of the civil
auth critics under the same state of acts as
in the Department of the South, with
similar results, and have always used their
power with consummate direction and good

should be replaced by another, and by
having trees of different ages, he NAV be
almost certain of fruit every wear. A
liberal supply Of apples and peaches
should be planted, together with few
pear aud cherry trees. Some fruits. for
family use should not be neglected, and
good care should be taken of all. Fruits
are among the most healthful of our
foods, and no farm should be without
them.
APPLES are now considered more
nutritious than pOtat0es-indeed, many
go 80 far as to think that they contain
more brain food than any other fruit or
vegetable. However that may be, they
certainly exert healthful influence
upon the whole system when eaten raw
or cooked in simple manner. When
compounded with butter, eggs and -four
| they are far less wholesome than when
baked or steamed. Apples nicely baked
and served with cream are a delicious
dish, and an ingenious hOusekeeper can
easily devise numerous ways of preparing
them for the table.
The London Pail Mall Gazette says !:
The enormous import of wheat from the
United States into this cOuntry, and the
probability that it will increase rather
than diminish in time to come, leads us to
reflect how it happens hat Indian corn,
which is 30 largely consumed in various
forms by all classes in America, fails to
find favor with Englishmen at home. In
some way maize is certainly to be pre-
ferred to wheat; and those who have
once acquired the taste for it on the other
side of the Atlantic certainly miss the
Indian corn on their return. We sup
pose, however, that there is little hope
that our working classes will ever take
to this cheap, wholesome, and nutritious
food. The mere fact that it is cheap,
operates in some measure against its
adoption. There is nothing, perhaps, in
an Englishman's nature 80 stupid as his
dislike to have it supposed that he is
content with cheap food. And Indian
corn is very cheap.

STANDARD REMEDIEs.-lt is a fact
well known to all our readers that few
proprietary medicines have achieved O
reputation as standard remedies, and
occupy a place in every we'll regulated
household, almost as universally as the
Bible and the family almanac. Fore.
most among these is the Merchants Garg.
ling OIL, manufactured by the well-known
company of that name at Lockport, N.
va sovereign remedy for man and
beast, and one which has wrought hun
dreds of well-attested cures. We need
hardly say here what the patrons of the
BLADE fully understand-that we do not
make a practice of praising indiscrimi-
nately the numerous compounds offered
to the public, but since we believe the
"Gargling Oil" to be carefully COM
pounded and efficacious remedy, we do
not hesitate to say as much.-7oiedo co.,

sketch of James Russell Lowell.

A correspondent of the Graphic writes
thus of James Russell Lowell, at his home
in Cambridge: The poet is very ap-
proachable, and is often to be met on the
street, and may not unfrequently be
heard on public and other occasions. An
opportunity when the humorous side of
his nature showed itself was that of his
course of readings from Don Quixote,
ilege to hear him on this congenial sub
ject-he was himself 80 much enter
tanned by it. 81 don't know how any
one could help it with Cervantes," he
said. From evening to evening the
hearers increased; they laughed great
deal, and as for the reader, he grew EN-
thusiastic over the "rare humor" of his
author. He translated as he went along,
emitting the parts not essential to the
narrative. 1t was very easy, choice, and
apt, and was rendered with such readi-
ness that the slight hesitancy now and
then added piquant flavor. He put on
glasses and confined his attention to his
text, except, as with exceeding relish he
threw in an aside at every opportunity,
and called attention to some choice bit
the lighting un of his whole face and
change of tone showing how delectable
it was to him. His voice is very smooth
and low. but clear and distinct. He was
not Grammatical in the least, but gave the
narrative in natural, colloquial way.
He came in promptly at the moment,
read sitting, and when he had finished
the portion allotted for the evening, STOP.
ped without comment. Some of the
latter photographs of him are excellent
likenesses. He looks little past fifty,
a man of plain dress and modest de-
meanor, of average height, and no un-
easiness in his physiognomy or manner.
His thick beard hides the lower part of
his face. His hair, beginning to turn, is
worn as is represented in all his pictures,
parted in the middle, and in a loose
careless fashion, half curling lock or
two straying tendril-like over his fore
head, which is fair and feminine. He is
of rsddy complexion, with delica,e
features and BLUSH gray eyes, which
show his lurking humor by genial

Gordon, United States Senator from Geor.
gia, and General johnson, State Senator OF
Virginia, with Messrs. Peck and Jeffreys,
members OF the Legislature, demanded ad.
mittance to the State House. The rotunda
was filed with troops, and arms stacked
around the Washington statue. The mem.
bers OF the Legislature exhibited their GER
tihcates from the Supreme Court of their
election, and the corporsl of the guard re-
fused their admittance under the orders of
Dennis, who was standing by. The Demo.
cratic members then met in caucus, and at
about ILLS proceeded in body to demand
admittance.
In the meantime General Hampton had
an interview with General Ruger, who then
changed the orders so as TO allow any one
to pass the sentinels who claimed to be
elected members of the Legislature. Under
this change of orders all members are now
being admitted slowly as the Corporal of the
guard examines their credentials.

and good temper prevails. No person is
allowed in the Hall except members.
Nov. 30---3 p. M.--The situation is but
little changed at the State House. Good
humor Is manifested on both sides. Some
efforts are being made to compromise, which
may result satisfactorily. General Ruger
has sent his staff officer to the Speak er's
stand, and notified the Democratic Speaker,
Wallace, that at noon tomorrow the Dem.
ocratic member from Edgfeld would not be
permitted on the floor of the House. Upon
the receipt of the order, letter was INN e..
