GREEN CORN PUDDlNG.-Twelvee ears
of corn grated, two quarts of milk, four
we'll beaten eggs, one teacup aad half
of sugar; mix and bake in buttered
dish; bake three hours. Sweet corn
should be used. .-..a
Picked ONIoNs.-Use none but
small onions; peel; drop into cold water
to prevent changing color, then drain
and boil them for five minutes in
equal parts of milk and water; drain
and cover with hot vinegar, seasoned
with red peppers and white ginger root
only.
PICKLING CABBAGE.-Takeh half doz-
en- small red beets, boil, and when cold
chop up fine with a hash-knife. Take
one large head of cabbage, chop up the
same way, and mix all together, add
salt and black pepper to your taste, a
half teaspoonful cayenne pepper, pack
in crock, cover with good vinegar,
and it will keep for months.
FRUIT CAKE.-Cover the bottom of a
deep dish with tart apples, sliced quite
thin, and cover with brown sugar
Then layer of pieces and crusts of light,
dry bread buttered. Put thick layer of
apple or other fruit over this with more
sugar and cinnamon or ginger. Pour
over all little cup of cold water and
bake one hour.
TOMATO PICKLES WITHOUT VINEGAR.
Take large tomatoes, that are just
ripened, but not soft; slice them in
slices about One-half an inch thick. Put
layer of tomatoes about an inch thick,
i'll a deep earthen dish; over these
sprinkle handful of yellow sugar, then
a layer of tomatoes and more sugar, till
the dish is full. Put over a thin cloth,
and over that turn plate with light
weight on top. In about month you
will have about as sharp pickles as you
will want to eat.
HEGDOM.-The following is recipe
for an old-fashioned pickle, called by
our grandmothers "hegdom:" Take a
peck of your largest cucumbers, wash
them, cut off the ends, and chop. Then
take sufficient onions, which, when
peeled and chopped, will make one-third
the quantity of cucumbers. For six
quarts of chopped cucumbers and two
quarts of onions, chop fine one large
green bell-pepper, or three Chill peppers !;
add this and teaspoonful salt; put into
a jar and mix thoroughly, and let the
mixture stand two days. Then turn all
into colander and let the brine drain
out all it will without pressure. Take
one tablespoonful of whole mustard seed,
one of cloves, two of ground allspice, and
one of ground cinnamon; pour on tea
cup of boiling water; let it simmer three
minutes; add three pints of vinegar; let
it get scalding hot; put back the mixture
into the jar; pour over the hot vinegar
and spices; stir till the spices are evenly
mixed. If the vinegar does not fill the
jar nearly even with the cucumbers and
onions, add little more vinegar, and
stir thoroughly.

Saving Seed Corn.

The best time to save seed corn is at
husking. Select the best ears, those that
are bright and plump and we'll filled to
the tips. Then leave on three or four
husks to each ear by which to braid the
ears into a trail" which should be
hung in dry place. An ear that has
been heated by being in the middle of a
large stack, or one which has been wet
by rain inside the husk is unfit for seed !;
its vitality is impaired. Henry Ives, of
Batavia, writes to the Rural Home the
result of saving only the upper ear. He
says:
:" have just examined piece of ever
green sweet corn which was planted with
seed selected by using only the upper ear
where two grew on stalk, last year.
The result is that nearly every stalk has
two ears on; even five stalks in one hill
gave ten good ears, and I think that
there was rs many single stalks with
three ears on as there were with only
one, but the two ears to the stalk were
almost universal. Now, as we are so
often reminded that we can improve our
corn by selecting seed, let us take the
more pains thus to improve this most
noble American product"

Autumn Gardening.

1t seems little unreasonable to plant
or SOW in the garden in autumn, but
market gardeners have learned long since,
by experience, that to make their bust
ness profitable they must have vegetables
in market out of season, and that they
make the most profit on truck requiring
extra labor, skill and knowledge to pro-
duce it. Take, for instance, lettuce. 1t
may be grown so easily after the time
for sowing it in the open air, that the
low price for which it would not COM
pensate for the cost of growing it, but
when propagated by skill, under glass, so
as to be put upon the market in early
spring, it is paying crop.
There are vegetables which sown in
the open ground early in September, and
properly protected by those having the
requisite knowledge, may be perfected so
good profit. Cabbage is one of this class,
and if sown about the first of September
in good, rich ground, transplanted be-
fore heavy frost into cold frames, and
properly cared for through the winter,
may be transplanted again into the
open ground as early as the soil is in
condition to work in spring, and will be
ready for market before the first of July,
when they will generally sell at rates
that will pay well for all the labor.
Spinach is another vegetable that can
be sown about the first of September,
and without any protection, will gener-
ally pass through the winter with little
injury and be ready for sale before the
end of April. In some sections they
cover it with straw, but we think the
gardeners in the vicinity of Rochester
seldom cover it.
Potato onions may be set during the
first half of September, and will gener-
ally keep better in the ground during
the winter than elsewhere, and ripen or
retain suitable size for punching and
selling green, long before those planted
in the spring. We have raised onions
from the seed from fall sowing, but they
are liable to send up seed-stalks before
the bulbs have attained to full growth.

The Mimic Press.

Long before he fights in earnest the boy
shoulders his harmless gun, and the young
Napoleon beat upon his toy drum tones
that afterward alarmed all Europe. In
everything .'the child is father of the man."
and the serious occupations Of manhood
are the playthings of youth. Education is
so universal in this country that it is not
surprising that our young people should
find amusement in the most difficult of
professions. Playing at newspapers is now
one Of the most popular of their pleas
ures, and the amateur journalism of the
United States is assuming immense proper
tons. The fascination of newspaper life
must be very great when we see it actually
adopted as a substitute for baseball, cricket,
or the old-fashioned amuse1nents of school.
The mimic press is now an institution and
resembles the real press about MS much as
baby six months of age resembles its
parent. claw, me he is the very image Of
his pa" 1t is charming to see how the
passions, ambitions, rivalries and dis
putes of the real press are reflected
in this small mirror The young lions
at play show imaginary claws and roar
ut each other with amusing rage. The
little papers which are published by schools
and colleges have their foes and friends, and
love quarrel as much as their prototypes.
To see their contests is like watching the
miniature yacht races on the Park lakes,
where little vessels about three feet long
tack and haul close and stand off with as
much dignity rs the Sappho or Columbia. If
they should happen to be wrecked the world
would not be much the loser, but what
sorrow would not the youthful owners
know! So with our mimic journals, which
bear the ambitions Of youthful hearts, to
whom the future is all dream and the
present revelation. The mimic press
ought not to be discouraged by the real press,
because in its clear glass the latter can see
it's own features in little. Are our strug-
giles and aspirations, defeats and victories,

The Extra Session Postponed.

The President decided yesterday by adj
vice of his Cabinet that he will not assem-
BILE Congress in extra session until October
Is. This decision will damage great deal
of political ammunition. Mr.. Blaine and
his mutinous brigade who have got their
blunderbusses loaded for discharging
tremendous Solley against the Presi-
dent at the beginning Of June may
find their pieces rusty and their
powder spoiled by the middle Of
October. When these belligerents have
lain on their loaded weapons for five months
their military ardor may have suffered as
much as their ammunition. The noted
phrase about "a wise and mastery inac-
tivity" would seem to be pretty well under
stood by President Hayes. His slowness
and delay in the cases of South Carolina
and Louisiana answered very good pur-
pose III gradually discouraging the carpet
baggers and bringing them to act reason
ably when the troops were at last with
drawn. His postponement of the extra SEES
sion until after the summer heats will have
an equally cooling influence on the passions
OF inc IecdlcltTaHC TepuDlicuHS. ~ Pc'oo,
order, industry and contentment should
prevail in the South during the spring, sum-
mer and early autumn months, the acqui-
escence of the country in the Southern
policy of the President will be SO nearly
universal that his assailants will lose most
of their supporters. OF course the Presi-
dent and Cabinet see their way clear to
maintain the army until autumn. The
soldiers will perhaps be a month or two be-
hind in their pay, but as they do not exceed
the number authorized by Congress they
may be legally kept in service, as
our soldiers SO often were during
the war when their pay was several
months in arrear. Whatever Congress may
do about the army when it assemblies it GER
tainly will not refuse to pay it for service
already rendered. A summer session is I'M
desirable on many accounts, and we are glad
that the administration sees its way clear to
get through without new appropriations
until fall. The country needs rest from po-
litical excitement, and by October Congress
will be able to form q more intelligent judy
ment as to the manner in which our trade
and industry will be affected by the
European war.

We are assured by Mr.. S. e. Church, of
this city, in letter published elsewhere in
to-day's HERALD, that Assemblyman Lang
beins name should not be included in our
Black List of New York representatives who
by their vindictive war against rapid transit
have proved their readiness to sacrifice the
welfare, growth and prosperity of the city
to the selfish interests OF the horse car cor
porations and the unnecessary fears Of a
handful of unenterprising property owners.
We are assured that rapid transit has
no truer friend at Albany than Mr.
Lancbein; that he voted against the Eccle-
sine bill. much to his present regret, be-
cause he was ignorant of its provisions; that
he will do his best to secure the revival and
steadily oppose the Hayes-Strahan bill to
perpetuate the profits Of the street railroad
companies. While we are glad to receive
Assemblyman Langbein's assurances of re-
greet for the past and promises of amendment
in the future we must insist that his vote
on the Ecc1esine bill was inexcusable. He
represents district every resident of which
is in favor of rapid transit and where every
foot of real estate would be largely benefited
by the completion of any rapid transit road
through the city. It is the special need OF
Mr. Langbein's constituents, while it would
be great advantage to the whole city. 1t
was, therefore, Mr.. Langbeins first duty to
make himself thoroughly familiar with every
bill introduced on the subject of rapid tran
sit. Mr.. Langbein owes it to his constituents
now to do as he promises and to use every
possible exertion to revive and carry the
Ecclesine bill. Although it is late in the
session IN earnest effort may yet undo the
mischief that has been done in the defeat Of
TINT measure.

We find the following in the London
Court Journal -
The New Workers had tho account OF the boat race
that Saturday morning at their break table, while
in London The evening papers were publishing tho ac-
OF tho race under their noses that Oxford
had won. The New YORK HERALD does Drag; but il
has earned the right
This is all right, except the last sentence
The HERALD, as our readers know, did give
the result of the Oxford race to it's readers
on the morning when the race was rowed.
It was not difficult matter to do, the man
ayers OF the Atlantic cable being very ready
to help us. But the HERALD did not brag
about it; it merely informed Its readers
that they would find the eagerly expected
news Of the race in the appropriate column.
If we were not afraid that the Court Journal
would again accuse us of Dragging we
would modestly say that the achievement
which seems to our contemporary so remark
able was not thought so by us. The
HERALD means to give its readers the earliest
and the most correct news from all parts of
the world that is its duty and function,
and as we are constantly doing SO it does
not occur to us to brag about any particular
inStance.

The intelligence from the Salt Lake
country wl6ch we print to-day will attract
wide attention. There is a piece Of news
of remarkable Significance. The Mormons
are industriously reviving and perfecting
their military organization, and secretly
arming and drilling their able-bodied men.
The explanation given by our correspond
ent of these busy and clandestine mill
tary preparations is an apprehension
that Brigham Young will be arrested
as an accomplice in the Mountain Meadows
massacre, and determination on the part
Of the faithful to protect and defend him to
the last extremity. Tho whole Mormon
community is sensible of the feeling kindled
against it by John d. Lees confession, and
the Saints have formed desperate resolve
to stand their ground.

The Blockade i'm the Black Sen.

The Ottoman government has informed
the representatives of other Powers at
Constantinople that it has declared" a
blockade of the "whole Russian coast of the
Black Sea-" This has the aspect Of an in
tended paper blockade, as distinguished
from one made effective by the presence Of
armed ships; for if the blockade is to be
made effective in this sense ''the whole Rus
sian coast Of the Black Sea" can scarcely be
watched by the whole Turkish navy. This
cannot, therefore, be an actual blockade,
because of impossibility, unless it be con.
sidered that the presence Of two or three
men-of-war in the Bosphorus or at the mouth
of the Danube establishes blockade within
the limits of the Paris declaration Of
1856. That declaration is guarantee
for neutral ships against capture for
entering or leaving any ports where the
blockade is not maintained in the immedi-
ate neighborhood of tho port by an armed
force sufficient to make capture reasonably
imminent. Such blockade the Turks can
not make of the district they declare block
AIDED. Will neutral nations assent to q
blockade of that district maintained ct the
Bosphorus? This case is peculiar, for,
while as to the ports such blockade could
be constructive only, no one can deny that
it would be effective as to the capture of
ships. 1t has been held in English courts
that an effective blockade cannot be consti-
tuted by drawing line to prevent ships
going to particular ports if the line include
other ports to which they have the right to
90. On this ground, if on no other neu-
trails might object to the sort of blockade
the Turks apparently intend.
