partake of fish and chops, accompanied
with the inevitable rice, and followed
with fruit, the whole washed down with
claret or bitter ale, and a cup of coffee

OUR BREAKF4sE.

A French critic on American living:
Your breakfast is a mistake. Usually,
Immediately after you rise from your
beds, you partake of heavy meal of
steaks or chops, garnished with potatoes,
followed by three or four eggs, and sur
rounded by hot rolls and buckwheat
cakes. The digestive organs OF healthy
person are not now in condition TO re-
ceive such meal not till two or three
hours after one has awakened do they re
cover from the apathy which sleep pro
duces. In France, Germany, Italy, in
civilized countries in the east, through
out the West Indies, among the English,
Spanish and French creoles, this law of
eur nature is recognized and respected
You may be less prejudiced against my
suggestions if furnished you with illus
trations from colony of Anglo Saxon
origin, instead of French. Let me sub
nit the mode of living among the white
inhabitants of Barbados, which Is similar
to that in most of the Antilles. On

If beef is poor and tough it is made
palatable by this French mode of cook
ing it: Season a thick steak with salt
and pepper, and fry slowly in a little
lard. Turn it often that both sides NAV
be cooked alike and equally Drowned
When well Drowned AIDA small quantity
of water, half a sliced onion, some
minced parsley and thyme, thicken with
a spoonful OF flour, cover close and leave
1t for an hour on the back of the stove
where it may simmer slowly; after this
lbs been done add pound can of toma-
Is; then let the daube cook about two
lrs, or until the meat is ready to fall
pieces. \ good-sized porcelain lined
- should be used in preparing this dish.
We have never tried it, but are assured
it is an excellent way to dispose of poor
meat and make it quite acceptable.

BReTITEES FROM THE SPEECH OF
SEN4TOR THURMAH CLINTON.

A people who fail to condemn cor
ruption invite and sanction its continu-
ance.
\ people who make amnesty, hatred
and narrow sectional feeling successful
stepping stones to place and power, I'M
dermine at the same time their peace and
prosperity and the perpetuity of their
government.
With what face can the people COM
plain of hard times, if year after year
they elect and reflect the very men
whose policy, legislation and rule have
contributed 80 much TO bring suffering
and distress upon them
1t is undeniable that so far as our dis
/ tress is the result of either legislation or
the want OF legislation, bad policy or the
want Of wise policy. the responsibility
rests upon our radical rulers, who have
/ had unlimited control fer the past four
teen years.
There is not a department of govern
ment whose expenditures do not exceed
any expenditures by it in time OF
peace before the radical party came into
power.
1t is plain that there should bea change
of administration. The men who have
contributed 50 largely to bring about
the distress are not the men to remedy
it The same influence that made them
err in their previous policy viii continue
to make them err. They are in a rut
and they cannot get out of it.
In this unwarranted use of the mill
tary under Encouragement Tait's in
structions they are trying to use the
sword of the government to put down
the will Of the people. That's all it is
My friends, what poor soldier was there
who fell on that terrible day, when Gus
ter led his headlong charge on the Indi-
ans, and whose white bones are now
bleaching on the plains, who didn't con-
tribute to the wealth OF the secretary Of
war (Belknap)? And yet there is no of
fetal corruption, and yet, senator Nor
ton says, we have the finest civil govern
ment the world ever saw
For more than fifty years the demo
cratic party ruled this country, and all
the time it ruled there was peace aud
prosperity everywhere. In allthese fifty
years there was no man executed for
treason. In all these fifty years there was
no man punished for political ofenses,
and in those fifty years we grew from a
little strip Of fifteen states on the At
lantic coast to an empire reaching from
ocean to ocean. The party Of Jefferson,
Madison, Monroe, Of Jackson, the men
who believe in them, the men of their
school, these old fathers before me, who
cast their votes among them, their chill
dren can be trusted with this grand re-
publican government.

JOKE.

AT Mr. Sothern's last appearance in
Boston the other night as Sydney Spoon
bill in "a Hornets Nest" the play ran
smoothly up to the last act, when as Mr..
Sothern was speaking the tag, having
reached the words,
'wc'ye not flown high, our aim is not anbi-

he was suddenly interrupted by a Young
man in one of the proscenium boxes, who
rose to his feet and shouted that he con-
sidered the play exceeding meretricious.
The audience Kissed and at the same
time the friends of the unlimited orator
endeavored to repress him by pulling at
box, but he yelled wildly TO them to "let
him alone" and insisted on speaking.
Mr. Sothern requested the audience to let
the young man have his say, whereuPOn

knowledge from his box, jerking his coat

" Ny friend, this isn't two piece" sale

laughter, OF course. The man, notwith

weak in general have been restored to a
vigorous and healthy condition, by fol-
lowing our advice, which was TO remove
their bedrooms upstairs, to have their
beds, summer and winter, exposed to the
fresh air from open windows Except, of
course, when there Is rain or MIST, and
also to have during the whole night one
window partially open in winter, 50 as
always to inhale the fresh cool air from

the precaution to have sufficient bed
