THE ST AR something to this effect: The
cream IN that one batch Of puffs was probably
prepared in a copper boiler which had not
allowed to stand too long in the copper vessel
after being made One person said the
cream had peculiar sourish SMELL" Those
of us who went to housekeeping thirty
year ago, and were "set up" with some OF
our grandmothers' kettles, were so thoroughly
admonished by every mother, grandmother,
to aWays cean said ketes nst SefoTe SsHg

minute after it was done: that we have never
lined kettles, granite ware, Sc, have taken the
place OF brass and copper in family kitchens
of late years. But am told that bakers and
confectiOners use copper boilers, some lined
others pure. Mr.. Freund has been too long

now, please, may ask a question: Will an
Expert tell us, if cream were so poisoned

THE REV. DIR. NEwMAN's NEW CHARGE
The New York World says:-The Rev. Dr.
odst Episcopal church, in washington, mat at
which time he was President Grants clergy
man, has been appointed to succeed the Rev.
e 5; narrower in the pastorate of; the Central
Methodist church, It'll avenue and 18th street,
In this city. There is debt of ST., 900 on the
parsonage and Sunday school building, and
the ladies of the congregation have opened
view of raising funds to eXtinguiSh the debt
We may add to this statement that some
members OF the congregation OF the MetrOpOi-
tan NJ. E. church., which, for the most part of
its existence has been under the passionate of
Rev. DR.. John P. Newman, do not at all relish
the idea Of parting with him. Under the rnle
pastor in any one church) they could not have
expected his return, but to keep the Doctor in
the city,many of his friends urged his appoint
ment as presiding elder of the Washington
district and sent to the conference a strong
petition asking disappointment. This petition
had no effect, and Rev. B. PeytOn Brown
whose turn at the Foundry had about expired,
was appointed a financial agent of the Metro
politan Church, which it is understood is quite
heavy in debt yet: Rev. DR.. Naylor received
the appointment to the Metropolitan church
DR.: Newman, tits stated, was not at all pleased
with this arrangement, and within short
time after the adjournment of conference de-
termlned to decline the appointment of finan..
cial agent, and few evenings since, in one of
the church meetings, he announced that he
would take this course, and go to New York.
1t will be seen by the above that DR.. Newman
has received an appointment i'll New York

thought no harm of it. 1t was not gambling
Any a y game mt where where only quarter or halfdoar
