RANDoLpn's ROANOKE PLANTATION.

i RANDOLPn's ROANOKE PLANTATION.
john RandOlph's old Roanoke plantation,
says Il correspondent of the Springfield
Republican, is now owned BY Judge B0ul
din, Of the Supreme Bench Of the State
The residence is situated in an oak grove,
with an exposure to the south ard west,
frontlng and overlooking the valley. In
1910, when Randolph first came there to
live, he called it q savage solitude )" but
he hardly ever wearied of his beautiful
oaks. He allowed the underbrush to grow
at will, and never trimmed the trees
During his absence. once. the overseer cut
away from a tree before his house q limb
which brushed against q window. On his
/ return he asked the reason, and, being
informed, replied, ''Why didn't you remove
the house, sir ?" The old English barons
Of feudal times were his ideals. His house.
however, was low cottage house, which

in coach-and-four where it was possible
upon his numerous journeys. His slaves
were always we'll treated. No grain vas
ever sold from Off Mr.. Randolph land. He
always said that his blacks should raise
what was needed on the plantation, but no
more. Finally, in his will he made provi-
sion for freeing them all, 800 in number.
He had been unutterably opposed to the
Missouri compromise, by which the domain
of slavery was restricted; he had upheld
the Divine right Of slavery through evil
report and good report and yet in his will
occur these words: II give and bequeath
to all my slaves their freedom, heartily re-
GREETING that have ever been the owner of
one" Further than this, he provided for
the purchase Of 1000 acres of land, to be
given tc those freed slaves. Those who
remember Mr.. Randolph say that he never
shaved He had an extremely thin but
very clear and sweet voice. Once, when in
England, he made all engagement to dine
with certain nobleman, but subsequently,
receiving an invitation for the same time
from Miss Edgeworth, the author, he &C.
cepted the latter, and afterWard apologized
to the nobleman by saying, "The woman
tempted me, and did eat.''

VEAL CAKE.-This is a pretty, tasty
dish for supper OF breakfast, and uses up
any cold veal which you may not care to
mince. Take away the brown outside Of
your cold roast veal, and cut the white
meat into thin slices; have also a few thin
slices of cold ham and two hard boiled
eggs, which also slice, and two dessert
spoonfuls Of finely chopped parsley. Take
an earthenWare mold and lay, veal, ham,
eggs and parsley in alternate layers, with
a little pepper between ach,and a sprink-
ing of lemon on the veal. When the
mold seems full, fill up with strong stock
and bake for half an hour. Turn out
when cold. If q proper shape be not at
hand, the veal cake looks very pretty
made in a plain pie dish.
