hnmely morsel that sppeases his hunger,

around his heart, and in his dreams be
folds tn his bosom the form of her who
loves on still, though the world has
turned coldly from him. The couch
made by the hands of loved one is soft
to the weary limbs of the sick sufferer,
and the potion administered by the same
hand loses half its bitterness. The pill
low, carefully adjusted by her, brings re-

THERE is quiet, close-fsted old bach
elor in New York City, named Peter
Goelet, who is estimated to be worth
$1O,OOO,OOO. Being very fond of milk,
he keeps a COW in fine pasture near his
residence, in the heart of the city, which,
including interest on the value of the
pasture, costs him about $4,000 year
the milk somewhere in the immediate
vicinity of SO gallon. This, they say,
is the old fellows only extravaganza.
And as for benevolcnce-why, it is be-
lieved by his neighbors that if he were to
catch himself in the act of bestowing
as much as fifteen cents upon any char
liable object whatever, he would he so
utterly aston nded at his wild, reckless,
ruinous prodieality that, before he re-
gained his senses sufficiently to know
what he Gas about. he would have him
self arrested, arrAigned and indifed for q
fraudulent attempt 30 sqaaDder his CO.

More Settlers for Australia.

The steamship Annie II. Smith has
sailed with 1923 men, women and children,
for New-South Wales. This is the third
and the largest departure of emigrants
from this country that has been made un-
der the supervision of the Australian
Government. This will increase to $40
the number of persons who have left the
United States for Australia since the be-
ginning of the present emigration move
ment two months ago. The agent of the
Australian Government in this city, Rod
erick G. Cameron of No. % South Will
liam street, said that there had been over
LOO applicants for passageway in the
ship.
A busy scene was witnessed at the pier,
where preparation were being made for
the voyage. The wharf was covered with
merchandise, household goods, and emf
grant stores, while two or three hundred
emigrants and visitors were scattered
around. The Annie II. Smith is new
vessel, and is said to be one of the larg-
est that has ever left New York for
Australia. Between decks rows of berths
Of three tiers each run the entire length
of the vessel, each berth being of reason
able dimensions, cased in with boards,
and containing a straw bed. Fifteen Gu
bic feet are allowed each emigration the
storage of baggage and goods. In the
forward part of the vessel are the single
quarters for the single men; the center
is devoted to the use of the married, and
near the stern room has been prepared
for the accommodation of single women.
The preparations for supplying this large
number of people with food have been
extensive, although the small amount
paid by the emigrants for passage will
not insure them anything like the food
provided on the large and costly steam
ers {; plenty of good plain meat, bread, and
coffee, with vegetables, however, is as
sured.-N. Y. Tribune.

THE ART OF CooKING.-Thea art of cook
ing Indian meal has not received that at
tentiOn which its merits deserve. A
baked Indian pudding, with little suet
to soften and lubricate the meal, makes a
dessert fit for Governor, and almost too
good for common folks. With milk,
butter, eggs and sugar, aud lots of fruit,
Indian meal can be made to keep fam
lily in the most thrifty condition. These
are all produced, sugar excepted, on the
farm, and on many farms we need not
make an exception. When sugar is made
from beets in this country-as it ought to
be, and soon will be-the farmer will be
almost independent of the grocer, and
can snap his fingers at tariffs and imports.
RAISED CAKE.-Tbree cups of dough,
one cup of butter, two cups of sugar, two
eggs, one cup of raisins, one tablespoon
full Of yeast, little salt, and one-half tea
spoonful of soda. Work the dough and
shortening together, beat the eggs thor
oughly, then add the dough, beating we'll;
add the other ingredients, with the raj
sins rolled in handful of flour, add cin-
namon and nutmeg to taste, pour into
tins, let it rise till light, and bake.
SALT ON STEAK.-It is much better to
broil or fry the steak without sailing, add
ing the salt after the meat is on the platter.
as the salt draws the juice out of the meat
if put on before it is cooked, thereby
making it dry and indigestible. In
cooking steak the object is to keep in the
juice as much as possible, hence the meat
should be scared over as much as possible
on both sides, and frequently turned
while cooking over very hot fire.
RICE CAKEs.-Boil one half pound of
rice very soft; let it get nearly cold, then
stir in it one half pound of butter warmed,
two tesspoonfuls salt, and two of sugar;
beat into this five tablespoons condensed
eggs, adding one pound Of flour sifted, in
which you have put two spooufuls
baking powder; make into u stiff batter
with milk, and bake in waffle irons,
muffin-rings or in cakes on the griddle.
DoUsHxun.-Threee eggs, two cupfuls
sugar, one and one half capfuls milk,

if the deficiency is running this year AT TIE rate of

$4,000" This refers 10 State Prisons, and seems
TO indicate that TIE TRIBUSE is ignorant Of the
fact that deficiencies reduced month by month
after the present Board Of Inspectors took charge OF the
prisons As an instance of this would refer TO Clinton
Prison The present Beard of Inspectors put their ap
porees in charge OF that prison on Jan. D. 1876 The
deficiency for February following S39,cOO-Of
course consequent tho pIeyuns stlatlon. The ncAt
month the deficiency reduced II r20,NOO, next
onth 10 ~ 900, aud on, until IN Augs- tic de
HaicbCy was only $1,000. and III September the dc
II icuty had entirely disappeared.
Tie reports Of The operations Of the prison year begin
Ming Oct |, 1875, and ending Oct l. 1876, have been
ii;.e row three weeks, and you should examine tbcG.
NOW that the amendments have been adopted II is time
