DOMESTIC RECIPES.

WALL PAPER1NG.-Paper may be made to
adhere to whitewashed walls by washing the
walls with vinegar. When dry, apply the
paper in the usual way.
CENTENNIAL CAKEs-Mix eight ounces of
-four, quarter of pound of sifted sugar, a
quarter of pound of fresh butter, three eggs,
one teaspoonful of baking powder, and small
quantity of citron-peel. Bake in small patty
pans.
To Cook HoM1NY.-Take three cups Of
water to one cup of hominy, boil, slowly for
three-quarters of an hour; the longer it boils
the better it is; then add a teacupful of sweet
milk to one cup of hominy, then boil ten min
utes more stir it frequently while boiling.
LEMON PUDDING BAKED.--Stir over a
slow fire, until they boil, four and half
ounces of butter, with seven ounces Of pound
ed sugar; then pour them into dish, and let
them remain until cold, or nearly so. Mix
very smoothly large dessert spoonful of -four
with six eggs that have been whisked and
strained. Add these gradually to the sugar
and butter, with the grated rinds and the juice
of two moderately sized lemons. Puta lining
of puEpaste to the pudding, and bake it for
an hour in gentle oven.
To MAKE TEA A.PRoPERLY.-Scald out with
freshly boiling, pure soft water, an earthen-
ware or silver teapot, no other; put into it
instantly as many teaspoonfuls Of tea as there
are persons, and an extra one "for the pot. :"
Pour in just enough boiling water to cover
the tea, and set it by the fire to steep for five
to seven minutes, then add the requisite guam
tity of boiling water let it draw the same
time longer, and you will have cup of tea as
perfect as its quality will admit. In England
where the tea is prepared on the table, it is
usual to cover the teapot with thickly
wadded cover of cloth, called a "cosey," which
retains all the heat. 1t is important that the
tea be made as soon as the water is actually
boiling in the kettle.
How TO TAKE CARE OF FURs.-Ladies, it
has been remarked, as general rule, imagine
that care in putting away furs is all that is re-
quired; they think they can wear them when
and how they please, provided they expend a
few pence for camphor when they lay them
aside. This idea should be corrected. More
harm is done to furs by wearing them week
sitter the weather has become warm than
during a whole cold season. When they are
put aside they should be brushed the right
way with soft brush, an old linen handker-
chief folded smoothly over them, and a piece
of gum camphor kept in the box all the time,
to scare intruders in the shape Of moths.

SERIAL STORIES.

written expressly for its columns. 80"
AS non-partisan, Independent family newspa-
per, the future editorial conduct of the ENQUIRER
can be as we'll Judged by the past as by any PROM
ise which we might now feel disposed to make.
An experience of thirty-fve years in the newspa-
per business-of which timeat least one-half has
been unremittingly devoted to the management
of the ENoU1RER-fully convinces the proprietor
that the plan he adopted on assuming control of
the paper, is the correct mode Of journalism in the
present day. The true mission Of the newspaper
is to place before the public facts as they may exist
unbiased by partisan feelings or sinister motives
and the propriety of this course ia fully attested
not only by the success Of the ENoUIRER, which
can truthfully claim the largest circulation of any
country newspaperin in the South, but also by many
other of the most popular and widely circulated
papers of the day. The course thus indicated we
shall continue to pursue, aiming to publish a
LITERARY AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER,
which shall be welcome visitor to the Home Cir
Gle, and acceptable alike to all classes Of readers
Hence, the news department of the ENQUIRER,
whether of mattersat home or abroad-political or
otherwise be conducted with the utmost care,
and only facts they seem to exist, will be pre-
sented, free from sectional or party bias

HISTORICAL SKETCHES.

THE HISTORICAL SKETCHES OF THE EARLY
History OF SOUTH CAROLINA will constitute an
important feature of the volume. These Sketches
are written by Rev. ROBERT LATHAM, and COM
mencing with the earliest settlement Of the State
in colonial times gradually trace It's rise and pro-
gress. To the writing and compilation of these
Sketches the author has devoted much thought
and extensive research. Besides the colonial his
tory, they will contain the stirring scenes and i'm
portant events, the anecdotes and incidents-leg-
endary and authentic-which have never before
been fully published, connected with the Revolu-
tionary history of the State. Much of the mate
rial of these Sketches being traditional-m of
the events portrayed having never been in print
and written in Mr.. LATHAN's easy, familiarstyles
they will be read with peculiar satisfaction, not
only in our own State, but by every one having
Just appreciation of the history Of noble ances-
try in their struggle foriberty and independence.
