LETTUCE DRESSING.
By PROF. sTRATHY.

Editors of the Register: / (
We observe in your last weeks REGIS.
TER remarkable mode of dressing let
tuce, which, in our judgment, is pecu-
liarly heterogeneous.
The composite suggested vividly re-
minds us of common s,ciLt, perfect hog
mess. Such far fetched would be Epl-
eurean preparations may accord with
some sa,.er kra,t paunches and palates,
bnt would prove gag to ours. How
ever, the difference only corroborates the
truthfulness Of the old adage, some mans
meat is another's poison" Hence, those
who admire and adopt this special get
up" may follow the instructions OF the
doses of the would-be compounder for
the animal appetites. w
With your permission, Mr.. Editor, we
will take the liberty of introducing to
your readers an improved method OF
dishing this savory culinary, which,
while cheaper, more accessible, pslatable
and wholesome, besides more civilized
for imperverted and impompered stom-
achs, is infinitely superior in every re-
spect.
In the first place, lettuce like every
other culinary in the kitchen garden,
&C., should invariable be allowed to ma
ture in growth. After the transplanting

same have acquired their legitimate bulk
of growth (prlor to running to seedl let
the plants be uprooted, washed and cut
up aud served up with the following con-
dimeuts intermixed: Vinegar, sugar,
pepper and salt. That is all that lettuce
needs to prepare it for the table, and rem
der it eligible for the use of any member
of the human family.

WHY IS IT.

1t is a fact worthy Of notice that
the signers to the late call for reform
independent movement are recognized
as names once prominent in the Keput-
lican party-the men who gave it char
acter and brsins-but who of late years
have not been recognized by the party
which they brought into existence
WILLIAM &. BRYANT, CARL ScHuRz,
WooLsEY and WHITE are names once
known as politicians, but only known
now for their literary attainments and
the purity of their conduct in private
life. The question very naturally arises
why is it that those who were recognlz-
ed as leaders of the Republican party,
when that organization was in the zenith
of its glory, are not now even constituent
parts of the psrty7 che answer is plain
and can be told in two words-internai
corruption.
The Republican party lives alone on
sectional hate. 1t possesses no other
vital principle. The three hundred thou
sand hungry office seekers who expect to
come in through the Republican party
have no hope of success except by keep.
ing alive sectional hate and infamms-
tory appeals to passion and prejudice.
The party has accomplished all the work
it was organized to accomplish, and there
is no truth in political history more
unerring and more frequently
illustrated than that party cannot live
after its work is done without becoming
corrupt. The mere memory of feast
cannot sustain the physical system, nor
can party maintain the prosperity of
country on the memories of past achieve
ments. The thieves and demagogues of
the Republican party have taken posses
sion of it fors general caroussl. and very
drive out what statesmen or
patriots may have been in it. CHAsE

The Lady and the Drummer.

It was a clear, bright day, when the
Young drummer, who was making ms
first tour, was seen smiling complacent-
" upon the lady opposite him on tie
$50 south-hound train from Memphis,
on the Memphis and Tennessee rail
road.
She was fair and beautifulto behold,
rs he thought, when he approached her
thus:
'My good lady, it seems as if you are
travelling alone
81 am" was the reply.
"Well," said the drummer, "nothlng
gives me more true pleasure than to
play the gallant to the fair sex, who,
like you. are cOmpanionless; and If | do
not presume too much, [ would be hap
py to be your escort, as far as we may
travel the same way"
"How far are you going?" she asked
him.
"To Grenada"
81 shall go that far myself she re-
piled.
"Well, then, we surely will have a
nice ride together"
"But pray, sir, if I am not too I'M
pertinent, may I ask what sort OF busl-
ness you are IMP"
ooh. not at all, my fair lady, with
pleasure l can say that l am a touring
pilgrim for a commercial house IN Lou
~isville, Ky"
They sped on at the rate Of twenty
miles an hour, until they arrived ct sta
ton IS. BY this time he had changed
his seat to the one directly behind hers.
When they arrived there. their eyes
fell upon a poor looking donkey, and
he, thinking to make the young lady
blush, said:
"Fair lady, 7 have been raised in the
CITY. and am totally unacquainted with
the different ANIMALS that inhahit the
country, and will you please tell me
what sort OF kind of animal that is e
the way?" at the same time pointing at
the donkey.
She replied by making a mischievous
wink at her father, who had not long
since taken a seat near enough to hear
the conversation:
'tI. too. have been raised in the city,
and am like you u~nacquainted with an
finals that inhabit the country: but if l
would be left to Judge, I would emphat-
ically saw. from his silly look, and the
length of his ears, that he must be a
touring pilgrim for a commercial house
in Louisville, Ky Don't you think
III do. I do, my daughter The
drummer wilted and has not been heard
from since.

Pickle Minded.

"I In the spring." says the laureate, "a young mans fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love-" The question arises what happens then to those of young woman. The following story may par tially answer the question: A blooming young maiden was engaged to lover No. 1. But she wearied of him, and after 8 time gave him his co,age. Shortly af- terward-she lived in the remote north "a visitor from London won the article she was pleased to call her heart, and she became engaged tolover No. ?. He departed, and in due time 1t was argued that she should come south on visit to his parents. Being an independent young person she concluded to travel without an escort, but met on the road an affable stranger, who made himself so agreeable during the long journey that on being told who he was she con sented to his arranging for an inkoduc- tion to her parents with the object of asking for her hand. This was No. 3, and her decision was soon afterwards communicated to No. 2, and she re- turned home. There, while awaiting the advent of No. 3, the old flame No. 1 renewed his proposition, and, know. ing the sort of young woman with whom he had to deal, married her out oi hand. The moral is left to the readers imagination.

An Insanity Verdict.

While the plea of insanity without reasonable evidence to support it has be- come so common as to excite derision, and while many cold blooded murderers have doubtless escaped punishment by means of that plea, there have been cases of homicide within a few years in which this defense has been vainly urged where no one who has given any attention to diseases of the mind could doubt that it should have prevailed. One of these cases is that of Mrs. A. J. Wilner, who has been convicted in Mil waukee of the murder of Dr. Garner iii March last. After the death of her hus- band, Mrs. Wilner had developed such marked indications of insanity that her neighbors were about instituting pro- ceedings to have her placed ill an asy- lum for the insane, when she visited Milwaukee and took Q room at the New hall House. At the hotel she engaged a carriage and had the driver take her to the house of Dr. Garner, whom she shot upon his coming to the door in answer to her call. Having done this, she took the carriage and rode back to the hotel making no attempt to escape. The req, son she gave for killing him was that she believed that the medical fraternity O1 Milwaukee were engaged in conspiracy to cause her death by means of medi cated odors, and that Dr. Garner was the chief of the conspirators. On he1 trial it was proved that she had laborec under this delusion for long time, anc six of the best physicians in Milwaukne swore to her insanity. In the face O. this evidence the jury brought in yer dict of guilty, being led to that conclu sion, apparently, by a "supplemen tary charge" delivered by Judge Nal lory, to the effect that a person may b. afflicted with delusions on particula subject and still ] sane OH other sub jects, and directing the jury that the. must not imagine insanity, and that the. could only find it from all the testimon. as fact. These instructions caused
 five of the jurors, who had previousl,
 voted not guilty, to join a verdic against the accused.

The American Centennial.

The London Times has the following: Our kinsfolk have right to magnify and hold in undying memory the achieve ments of that manly conflict (the War of Independence), and we have long forgotten the passing bitterness of de- feat in the proud thought that only Englishmen could so have baffled Eng land, even in her perverse mood of un- reasoning tyranny. The centenary cele- bration of American independence is an occasion which arouses no unfriendly remembrances amongus. It is emphati- cally an occasion on which Americans may be forgiven swelling sense of pride, and on which foreigners must be compelled to feel admiration. The Ex- hibition at Philadelphia would, there fore, be an interesting historical event, even though it fell very far short of the magnifcence in display, the fertility of invention, the ingenuity of contrivance, at which the world has marveled, over and over again, ill London, Paris and Vienna.
 The |" Prisoner of Chillon," of whom Byron wrote one wet day at Geneva, af- ter hearing that the prisoner had been chained for four years to one pillar of his dungeon, was Francis Bonivard, 8 learned Genevan who died in the sixteenth century.
