Prince and Sovereign.

DR.. Ruppaner, the we'll known German
American, and President Of the Goethe
Club, of New York, was the hero of an
adventure in Paris recently that attracted
much attention from those who saw it.
He had hailed cab, and as ne was about
to step in he was surprised to. see another
man entering at the opposite side. Dr..
Ruppaner demanded OF the driver which
Of the two had hailed him first and the
driver decided in faver of the New Y ork-
er. He then politely requested the stran-
ger to descend, but the STRANGER answer
ed:.lsa ss istte .tat
Il am Prince !" giving a known
name. DR.. Rupaner replied go
''You are a prince, but 1 am a severe
ign-a citizen Of the United States;' and
without much more ado he gently took
the prince by the collar of his coat and
set him down quietly upon the sidewalk.
The prince went in search OF another car
rage, and the sovereign" rode off in
triumph. s. - 49, S s.

The Mysterious Masked Lady.

AT the masked ball, lately given BY
Frances, Countess Waldegrave, a lady Of
distinguished appearance dressed in
black and wearing a domino, observed
two gentlemen who we're conversing. un-
masked in an alley of5the beautiful gar
dens at Strawberry Hill. She approach
ed them with easy grace, and opened con-
versation in a. light and bantering tone.
The el9er of her male interlocutors was
assured, by what '''the Antiquary" would
have called chs fair enemy that she
knew all about him, and could, and she
would, tell him many quear stories about
himself. Well able to defend himself in
tongue encounters, the gentleman, whose
wit and whose persifage were once the
delight of the House of Commons, in
which he is nova much missed absentee,
replied that if she knew even a 1.-THE of
the mischief he had done, in life she
would compel him to borrow her domino.
Carrying the war into the ener US coun-
try, he proceeded jestingly to impugn
her assertion that she was married wom-
an, and accused her of having escaped
from boarding school to take part in the
Strawberry Hill gayeties. His younger
male companion, being scarcely inferior
in b adinage, asked permission to touch her
marriage ring, and, accepting the gloved
hand which she promptly extended, re-
marked, after satisfying himself as to
the correctness of her claim, that so fair
a gage was worthy OF more respectful sa-
luton, and was permitted to raise her
black gloves to her lips. After a
diversified conversation, which lasted
about quarter OF an hour, the. lady gid
ed gracefully away, leaving her compan-
ions in puzzled m ystery as to her identity.
Their gucsses were more ingenious than
described when an hour later he was
laughingly informed by the lady of the
most exalted rank in the assembly (the
Princess of Wales) that she herself was
the escaped boarding school miss, ana
that the domino which she he'd removed
from her face was. at his seryice-to hide
his bushes.

Selecting Meats.

In selecting beef to roast, if it be a
small family, the rib is by far the best
and most tender cut; have some of the
bone removed, then make your butcher
skewer the beef. The best boefsteak for
broii1ng is porter-bouse. The best beef
for n la mode is the round :; have the bones
removed and trim off all the gristle. For
corned beef the round is also the best.
For mutton roast choose the shoulder,
the saddle, or the loin and haunch. The
leg should be boiled Small RIB chops
are best for broiling; those cut from the
leg are generally tough, Mutton outlets
to bake arc taken from the neck. For
roast veal, the loin, breast or shoulder is
good. Veal chops are best for frying;
outlets are more apt to be tough.
In selecting beef take that which has a
loose grain, easily yielding to pressure of
dark red color. smooth, with whltish fat;
if the lean is purplish and the fat yellow,
it is poor beef. Grass FED is the lightest,
OK the pest. and next the heifer.
Perhaps the incest mutton roast is a
small leg, the bone taken out, and the
cavity stuffed with forced meat. The
best beef roast is (for three) about two
and half or three pounds Of porter
house. Sirloin ranks next. A rump
roast is very nice. Two to three pounds
is very great plenty for three. In
chops, we think, that from the hind leg
of mutton best, unless you can get a
''meaty" sirloin. The same in pork, about
one and quarter to one and hall
pounds is sufficient; beetsteak about the
same quantity. Porter house steak is
cheaper than sirloin, having less bone
Rump steak and round, if we'll pounded
to make them tender. have the best fla.

Recipes.

Fslls',g for Cracked Ceiz5ng.-Whitine
mixed with glue water, or calcined plas-
ter and water makes a good putty fc1
filling cracks in plastered ceilings.
Here is a receipt for nutritious drink
tor either invalids or giants: Beat up a
new-laid egg, pour on it half pint Of
boiling milk, sweeten to taste, and flavor
with lemon peel, nutmeg, or vanilla.
Serve cold in a glass.
70 WhSten Knife Handzes.-The ivory
handles OF knives sometimes become vel
ow from being allowed to remain in dish
water. Rub them with sandpaper till
white. If the blades have become rusty
from careless usage, rub them also with
sandpaper, and they will look as nice as
new.
Fruit Cote.-Four eggs, two cupfuls
OF sugar, one cupful of molasses, one-half
pint of sweet milk, one and one-half cum
tuls OF butter, one large teaspoonful of
soda, one-half round of stoned raisins.
and five cupfuls of flour. Season with
cinnamon and nutmeg to suit your taste.
This is enough for two loaves.
I. Cr1na6 Pudding.- Old bits of stale cake
can be made into most appetizing dish
in the following way: Over quart Of
crumbs turn pint Of scalding milk, ana
let them soak; then add three eggs, we'll
beaten, and half a pint of milk; halt a
teacup of desiccated cocoanut. Bake
twenty minutes. Flavoring may be add
ed to suit the taste, and raisins and cur
rants if desired.
French Toast. For family of five,
take five slices of bread-the longer the
bread has been baked the better-and
have ready bowl Of water into which a
pinch OF salt has been dropped. Take a
piece of butter the size Of walnut, and
thoroughly greese the bottom of frying
pan. then beat five eggs to froth; dip
each slice OF bread into the water then
into the egg, and place it flat on the bot
tom of the fryingpan; pour over the re-
naming egg which was left in the bowl;
set the frying-pa over the fire carefully
turning the bread over when it becomes
a light brown. Pepper and salt to taste.
Work Baskets.-Take wrapping Irvine
or carpet warp, and commence at the
centre of the bottom and CROCHET round
and round, thick and close, in short,
double CROCHET stitch, keeping it widened
so it is flat, and when you get it as large
as you want it, make the sides in she'll
work. Starch it very stiff, and dry it IN
the oven, with the door open Dry it
over fower-pot, vegetable dish, or any
thing you like. They are very conven-
lent to set on a sewing machine and hold
a thimble and thread. If wanted very
elaborate, varnish with black varnis6
and trim with scarlet worsted or ribbon
Anyone familiar with crotchet-needle
can readily make one from the above de-
scription.

ADVOCATE opened the case on the part of the
Government in long md exhaustive adj
dress. He reviewed the former trial and was
very severe on Gen. Porter, saying that his
defense had all been a series of afterthoughts.
He also claimed that the witnesses he would
bring forward would give different view of
Porter's conduct than has thus far been re-
ceived through the evidence Of accused, and
that his conviction by the court martial was
proper and the sentence merciful- The ad-
dress occupied the greater part of the days

! Put boiler of soft water to heat: dis,
solve and add TO it a half bar of Kinks
soap-either the white or blue. Put your
blankets in a washtub, laying them in
somewhat like a coil of rope, so they can
be easily handled. Heat the suds scald-
ing bot; pour it over the blankets; punch
them down, and cover with a quilt or
some heavy material to keep the steam,
from escaping. Let them remain till

clothes wringer; but run them from asuds
into basket, and let them drain, so as
to carry as :tUle of the dirty suds as pos

Tree from the suds as you cam, and then
drain them as before, and put them :
through second tub Of clean soft water.
Put them into your basket, without
wringing them; let them drain, and they
are then ready for the line. Hang them
lengthwise by the extreme outer edge,
not through the middle, and put the
clothes-pins near together, not more than
a fingers length apart. When the blank
cts are about half dry reverse the edges,
and let the edge hang down that was
