THE NEXT HOUSE.

Mr.. Adams, Clerk of the House last
Congress, now has $50 regular certifi-
Gates from the new members and as they
show a democratic majority of 20 the
democrats are taking it for granted they
will have the next speaker. Fernando
Wood and Randall are here vigorously
pushing their claims and both are SAN
gnine of success. Randall says that Cox's
tour IN the South, drumming among the
Southern members for their votes, will
not avail more than mere complimentary
respects, and as Fernando IS a big man
OF but little weight we fancy the re-
doubtable Samuel imagines himself as
again honored with the Speakership.
But IN this he will find there's MANY 3
slip twixt cup and lip" as il now seems
there are to be several opposing elements

WELL-RIPENED cheese has no elasticity
when pressed with the finger; it feels as
if breaking under the pressure, and the
dent remains; it has salvy, oily ap-
pearance when worked between the
thumb and finger, and melts on the
tongue like ripe pear ;athe cut surface
remains soft and oily for long tine,
not readily drying up. Unripe cheese,
on the contrary, is elastic, when pressed,
hard or tough when worked between the
thumb and finger; soon dries and cracks
when exposed to the air; when tasted by
the tongue is found deficient in fat and
does not dissolve readily.
BUT little ventilation is needed for a
smoke-house; smoldering fire that
will make dense cool smoke is what is
wanted. If there are any openings
needed for the admitting of air, to sus.
tain the necessarily slow combustion,
they must be small, and may be at the
bottom instead of at the top, where smoke
only is wanted. Flies must be kept out
by all means, and if any ventilating
openings are made, cover them with fine
wire gauze, and provide something to
close them when the fire is not used To

The Grand Duke Nicholas is fine look
ing, tall, forty-six years old, a brother of
the Gar, as naughty a Prince as the
House of Romanoff has ever produced,
and a soldier as devoid of military his
tory as any review or parade guardsman.
Abdul Kerim Pasha is the actual Com
mander- in-Chiefot his army. The Grand
Duke Nicholas is a mere fgurehead,
guided aud commanded by his Chief of
S:aff, Gen. Nepokoytchizky, the Moltke
of Russia. He has been in active SER
vice since the age Of sixteen, or for thirty
years past, but he has had scarcely any
field experience. He spent few days
in Sebastopol during the siege, and was,
when quite youth, attached for two
years to the general staff of the army of
the Caucasus, where he took part in a
few skirmishes with the Clerkesses He
was brought up as field engineer, and
is at present chief of all the military
engineers of the empire, with General
Todtleben as his assistant The Grand
Duke is married to the daughter of
Prince Peter, of Oldenburg, and has two
sons, one of whom, the Grand Duke
Nicholas, Jr., youth of twenty, is with
him in the capacity of aidde-camp. The
Grand Duke is the third son of Gar
Nicholas, and is accordingly an uncle of
the two princely sailors at present in
this country.
The chief Of the general staff in the
Danubian army, and the man who will
actually lead and command the Russian
forces, is Pole.
Gen. Nepokoytchizky's origin has for
a long time been hindrance to his pro-
motion, buthis abilities are too great not
to be ultimately acknowledged. He was,
during the war of 1S53-54, chief of staff
in the Fifth Army Corps, commanded by
Gen. Luders. He was the leading spirit
in all the operations on the Danube dur
ing that war, and has now the incalcula-
bic advantage Vt operating on field
perfectly familiar to him. He has
picked out for brigadier and division
generals men who served under him
twenty-fo four years ago as captains and
majors, and who, accordingly, know the
Danubian region Just as we'll as he does.

The Boss has tan bath every day at
four O'Clock, administered at the order
of his physician, DR.. Shurmer. These
baths consists OF putting a quantity of
German tan bark or extract of bark into
a shallow tub Of very hot water, which is
made hotter from time to time, until the
patient sweats himself almost dry. To
give more material for perspiration, the
victim drinks nearly quart of tan water,
which tastes like one of Adams old shoes
that he tramped out of the Garden OF
Eden with, soaked six thousand years in
rainwater. The bath consumes from one
hour to one hour and half, and is a
cogent sweat, exceeding any Turkish OF
Russian steaming. At the end bucket
of goldfish water is ladled over the weak
subjects head, and he is left to dry
slowly.

Where the sum Seper sets.

The following graphic passage is from
the description of a scene witnessed by
a Mr. Campbell and his party, in the
north of Norway, from cliff one thou
sand feet above the sea: The scene
stretched away in silent vastness at our
feet; the sound of its waves scarcely
reached our airy lookout; away in the
north the huge old sun hung low along
the horizon, like the slow beat of the
pendulum in the tall clock of our grand
fathers parlor corner. We all stood 81
lent, looking at our watches. When
both hands came together at twelve
midnight, the full round orb hung
triumphantly before the waves; bridge
of gold running due north spanned the
water between us and him. There he
shone in silent majesty which knew no
setting. We Involuntary took off our
hats. No word was said. Combine, if
you can, the most brilliant sunrise and
sunset you ever saw, and its beauties will
pale before tue gorgeous coloring which
now lit up the ocean, heaven, and noun.
tain. In hall an hour the sun had swung
up perceptibly on its beat. The colors
changed to those of morning; fresh
breeze rippled over the food. One song
ster after another piped up in the
grove behind US. We had slid into an
other day.

We call Maine the Pine-tree State"
says Harper's Magazine. "Lake State -
would be an equally appropriate and
distinctive appellation. Her forests are
gradually falling before the advancing
stroke of the lumberman, but her lakes
can never be lost out of her mountain
guarded territory, nor can their charms
ever be lessened by the touch Of settle
ment and civilization. There are more
than fifteen hundred of them laid down
upon the better maps in use hundreds
more are too small to be enumerated in a
general survey; while many Others lie
hidden in regions that have not yet been
explored. The author of Water1poUey
Of Maine says, in that work: "There are
but three or four districts on the globe,
not more extensive than Maine, and
equally habitable in other respects, upon
which an equal number of receptacles for
impounding rainfall, of not inferior Ca
pacity and surface, is to be found. The
Kennebec River mas more lakes con.
nected with it than the gigantic Orinoco
and the Penobscot than the Oregon, OF
than ali the rivers in Africa, so far as il
known"
But the Kennebec and the Penobscot
are only two of half dozen important
rivers in Maine, each of which is con.
nected with an extensive lake system Of
its own. These two rivers drain the cen.
trail portions of the State, the Kennebec
being the outlet of the great Moosehead
Lake, whose varied attractions have al
ready received due notice in the pages OF
this Magazine. Far to the eastward, on
the confines of New Brunswick, the st.
Croix River and the Shoodic Lakes; to
the north of these, the St. John and the
Eagle Lakes; to the west again, following
along the Canada border, the Alleguash,
and the lakes of upper Piscataquis
County and finally, well around on the
New Hampshire line, the Androscoggin
and its lakes. These are only six out OF
some fifteen systems which are recog-
nized by the geographers.

labored the total consumption of raw
silk in the United States for the calen-

MAcARooNs.-Four ounces of ground
almonds, pounded, and four spoonfuls OF
orange flower water; whisk the whites
of four eggs to snow, then mix one
pound of sifted sugar with the almonds,
to paste; lay sheet of white paper on
a tin, and put it on in different cakes in
the shape of macaroons.
BEEF.-To choose beef, the color
should be bright red, and if cold
or when cooled by ice, should present a
well mixed or marbled appearance. The
fat should be very light straw color
The suet must be of brighter shade
than the meat or muscle fat, dry and
hard, and break or crumble easily; also
have but little fiber through it.
TOAD IN HoLE.-Take either a
chicken or shoulder of mutton, and fill
it with veal stufiing; then make bat.
ter with quart of water and six eggs
and sufficient -four to make it thick
season with tablespoonful of salt and a
tablespoonful of ginger; pour it into a
well creased pan, and place the mutton
or chicken in the center. and bake in an
oven; put plenty of fat on top of the
chicken; serve itup on the same dish.
To DRIVE OFF RED ANTs.-1. Grease
plate with lard and set it where the
ants are troublesome; place few sticks
around the plate for the ant to climb
upon; they will desert the sugar-bowl
for the lard occasionally turn the plate
over fire where there is no smoke, and
the ants will drop off into it, reset the
plate, and in few repetitions you will
catch the ants; they trouble nothing
else while lard is accessible 2. Sprinkle
powdered borax over the shelves and
blow it into their haunts. Borax is clean
and not at all injurious should it happen
toget on food.
