Hash.

That's right, laugh. Every one does
when hash is mentioned, yet every one
likes it when properly prepared and duly
certified to-established as it is By pledges
If public confidence-and nearly every
hody eats it. Hash is vastly abused
dish. 1t is made the scapegoat for about
ali the gastronomic sins in the kitchen
calender, not to say colander.
There are not many Of US who boarded
at home. when home meant 4 superin-
tending mother in the kitchen as we'll as
elsewhere, but can recall the delight we
felt, in those days of innocence and a sin
less stomach, when we discovered there
was hash for breakfast. Was there any
thing superior to that rare combination OF
minced corn beef and potatoes as it came
steaming from the kitchen; and have your
noses ever enjoyed a more savory treat
than that which emanated from the ma
ternal hash? What is home without a
mother? And what is mother unless
she can make good hash?
But the average clearinghouse hash is
a different affair. 1t is often either not
half chopped or else it is chopped so
much that it is mashed into a sticky,
ugly-looking compound that nobody could
consider palatable. Hash, like sausage,
needs to be cut, not ground, and to be
good it should be prepared over night and
stand with the seasoning in it, and that
seasoning is the rich point; it must not
be so hot as to burn the palate, bat it must
have good sharp taste of pepper and be
as salt as possible not to taste salty. If
any other seasoning is added we prefer
little sage. 1t should be put on to cook
in hot vessel, in which little butter or
drippings has been melted, covered close
ly, stirred often, and only enough water
added to steam it thoroughly, net enough

Minerva on a Snree.

Henry Phillips, of Madame Rentz's min
strels, who performed the part of Minerva in
IxioD, finished his engagement in this city
Thursday night by having a good time with
some friends. After the performance was
over the chaste goddess shed her celestial
robes and appeared on the street in pants and
coat. Towards morning, when the light of
approaching day made the owl Of wisdom
blink, the festive goddess bethought himself
that he had but a few minutes in which to
catch the Richmond boat, in order to meet
the company in that city. His friends sug-
gested that he take possession of a wagon
that was standing near, with which he might
reach the wharf. So the actor sprang into the
wagon and lashed the horse to the top of his
speed. His friends saw q good chance to play
practical joke, and they informed the pro-
prietor of the wagon that Henry had stolen
his property. Chase was made, and a couple
of policemen caught the stolen horse and
drove the luckless Phillips back to the start
ing point, notwithstanding his protestations.
The prisoner could not explain the matter
satisfactorily, and he was hauled up before
Judge Smell yesterday morning. His friends
then came to the rescue, thinking the matter
had gone far enough, and the case was dis
missed.

Phonopraphy-What Is It!

To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: Most people not familiar with the sub
ject suppose that there is something mysteri-
GUS, intricate and difficult of requirement in
the time and labor saving art of photography.
That, however, is an error. Photography, as
a science, is based upon phonetic analysis
into their simple elements Of the vocal sounds
and articulations which compose human
speech, and as an art both the warp and woof
of phonetic shorthand are made up by taking
and using the simplest geometrical forms to
represent those elements of speech. For in
stance, all geometrical figures, when analyzed,
are found to contain but three elements,
namely, dot or point, straight line and q
curved line. The first is defined as having
neither length, breadth nor thickness, and
therefore can be made by a mere touch of the
pen or pencil. A straight line is the shortest
distance between two points, and is next to the
dot, the most tacile character to write; and
next after the straight line the curved line or
section of circle follows 10 readiness and
facility OF execution by the writer. 1t is by
the skillful maTshaling and active manPuver-
ing of these three simple, geometrical ele-
ments that all the seemingly wonderful feats
of word catching and thought-recording ef-
fected by photography are accomplished.

Caution to the Public,

The merit and success of Benson's Cspcine
Porous Plasters are already clearly estab-
lished. This indisputable fact has brought
out a number of imitators, who seek to be
benefited by imposing upon the public ar
ticles under the name of Capsicin and Capsi-
cum Plasters, as being articles similar to Ben
sons. Be not deceived. Their composition is
entirely different, and in no respect the same.
The words Capcine will hereafter be cut in
every plaster to insure the consumer against
counterfets or limitations. Benson's Capcine
Porous Plasters are now conceded to be the
most effective remedy ever offered to the pub
lie. They give instant relief and cure quicker
than any known plaster, liniment or compo-
sition. They cure where other porous plasters
simply relieve. They contain neither metallic
or mineral poisons. They are indorsed by
over two thousand druggists of excellent repu-
tation. Price 25 cents. Can be obtained of
any druggist. SEABURY Il JOHNSON,

causes of these complaints. 1t nvigOrates and
strengthens the whole system, acts upon the secre-

tem no medicine has ever given such perfect satis-
faction as the VEGETINE. 1t purifes the blood,

The remarkable cures effected by VEGETIyE have
induced many physicians and apothecaries whom
we know to prescribe and use 1t in their own fami-

In fact, VEGETINE is the best remedy yet dscov-
cred for the above diseases and Is the only reliable
Blood Purifier yet placed before the public.

Observations on the Nature, Symptoms and
Effects Of Catarrh.
By DIR. HARTLEY, 1872 TENTH STREET.

Among the list of chronic diseases which
affect the human frame catarrh is the one
most prevalent, most offensive, most pro-
ductive of discomfort, and most liable to a
variety Of dangerous and distressing compli-
cations.
Thousands are annually FASTENED to
premature grave from its pernicious effects,
and no doubt thousands are at this moment
slowly perishing under it's fatal influence,
ignorant of the cause of their declining health.
It was in fact, the destructive influence of this
disease and its alarming prevalence that first
attracted the writer's attention, and 1t is with
pardonable pride that he refers to the fact of
having been the first physician who made this
disease a special study, and originated a sys-
TEN Of treatment calculated to effect q radical
and permanent cure.
Catarrh manifests itself By discharge from
the head, varying in its nature in different
cases, and even in the same individual at diff
ferent times. 1t may be thin, colorless, ,acrid
J fluid, or a glary, starchlike substance; gen.
orally, however, it is a thick, purulent, or
muco- -purulent matter, either greenish-yellow
or of deep green tint, occasionally streaked
or fecked with blood. So copious and Often
siVe is the discharge In many cases that the
patient feels as though the whole head was in
q state of corruption.
Much of the discharge passes backward into
the throat, or collects as a tough, viscid
phlegm behind and above the soft palate, in
the passage between the throat and the head,
creating constant and almost irresistible de-
sire to obtain relief by "hawking," a practice
characteristic of catarrh, aad as embarrassing
to the one affected as 1t is dissgreeable to those
around. Often the phlegm is so tenacious
! that the most persistent and exhaustive efforts
fail to dislodge it until some food or stimulant
is swallowed.
Again the offensive matter deposits itself IN
the nasal cavities in the shape of dry, hard
crusts, which, in some cases, accumulates to
such an extent as to form a regular plug, OBJ
structirg breathing and producing serious dis
comfort. This condition is indicative of ulcer
alton, which in time may destroy the bony
structure of the nose, and produce its subse-
quent fattening.
The breath is always tainted, and some
times is so revoltingly offensive as to render
the sufferer an object of disgust to himself as
well as to others, and cases are occasionally
met with in which the stencil is really over
powering, and sufficiently fetid to poison the
atmosphere of whole room. Thus a person
affected with catarrh lives continually in an
impure atmosphere of his own surrounding,
and inhales a poisonous effiuyia with every
breath.

dence, 1872 Tenth street, near Grant Place.
