Strawberry Shors Cake.

One quart -four, one teaspoon salt, two
teaspoons DooIey's Yeast Powder, three
tablespoons butter, one egg, two table
spoons white sugar, and about half pint
sweet milk. Sift the flour, powder and salt
together; rub in the butter, cold; add the
eggs slightly beaten, then the sugar and
milk, and mix into a smooth dough, just
soft enough to be easily handled; roll out
in two pieces quite thin, to size required ;
lay one on top of the other and bake in a
hot oven, in a well creased pan, about fif-
teen minutes, and separate while yet warm
NOT hot. Use one for the bottom crust,
cover with layer of berries, then lay on
the other piece and cover as before. Serve
with powdered sugar and cream. The
above will make a large cake: half the
quantities will make fair size one.

Comparisons are odious,'' it is true; but
is none the less an unIisputed axiom that
they are useful for both present and future
guidance. This is an age emphahcally Of
labor and of progress. The sluggard is
thrown to one side, while the laboring.
pushing masses spring onward. The very
handspring Of the crimes committed in the
world is idleness. Ii is violation OF Gods
supreme decree, and It's violation sooner or
later pays the penalty. The Mississippi

its present mastery management. these
people are forced t. be of practical service
to the Sttte whose laws they have violated.

WAHsHNGToN, April S, 1873.
DEAR SIR-I like your paper better
and better the more | see it, for its indie
pendence and impartialIty. A man may
be an active, even partisan politician,
without forswearing truth, and principles
admitted to be correct in all ages and by
all intelligent people. Yet, it is SO com.
mon for political partisans to denounce al
most undi>puted truths and dispute prin-
ciples which are imperishably automatic.
These thoughts have occurred to me this
moment on reading your editorial on
Reputation, undoubtedly wrong at the
time, and so pronounced by the Court of
Appeals, but the debt is one which this
generation is not bound to pay. The
fathers repudiated; let them pay. As a
citizen of Mississippi, | should resist its
payment by this new generation-this
new State-stranger to the transaction.
Allow me TO express my appreciation on
your independent, correct candor, IN this,
as In other matters.
Permit me, also, word with reference
to an item going the rounds of the press
OF our State condemning Senator Lamar
fer favoring a Republican for office.
This is a Republican Administration,
so that, as to the Senator, it was only Il
choice between Republicans. Again, this
is supposed to be an era of Cancellation.
But, allow me to add, that there are III
the Treasury Department, a number of
female clerks from our State, all or
nearly all, Democrats of the true blue
sort, These, or most of them the writer
has aided to an appointment, either per-
sonally or by letter, or has assisted to get
them on the Permanent Roll, they be-
ing usually put, first on the Temporary
Roll;" or, has in some way done more or
less to secure them in their places or to
get them more agreeably located, us to
work, associates, etc 1t so happens. and
accidentally, that the Republican female
clerks have obtained their places without
the help of the writer. In assisting the
Democratic female clerks, he has done so
in sympathy with their poverty, which
impelled them to seek employment here,
not knowing how soon he and those be-
longing to him may be in like condition
and forced to solicit Democratic favor
When thus appealed to, there have come
before the eye Of the writer the words:
8 Do as you would wish to be done by"
And he has done it. Has Senator La
mar done more or less?
A word more. Scarce mail that
does not bring one or more letters from
old citizens of Mississippi, (Democrats)
asking favors to be done at the Patent
Office, Pension Office, Land Office, In
teror Department, War Department in
the Treasury, before the Southern Claims
Commission, information as to cotton
chims, etc, etc, all of which are prompt
ly attended to with pleasure, and, of
curse, gratutously. Is Senator Lamar's
cine, other than this and ought it to be
condemned?
In writing this letter, l am only doing
still, as l would wish to be done by.
It's entirely voluntary. [ owe the Sena-
to no obligations. Have seen him but
one this session, and that was on the
STREETS, several months ago.
Yours sincerely,
J. TARBELL.

WOOD SHOP,

A still more extensive institution, re-
curing an immense building especially
for that purpose. From this shop there
have been turned ont of late some of the
best road wagons now in use, and buggies
and hacks that would vie in neatness and
soliGfty with anything imported from New
Orleans. While most of the work is done
by hand, still there is machinery in all the
departments of the most approved kind. I5
is interesting, intensely so, to an old fash
ioneI farmer to see how quickly an ak
aelve can be turned out by the machine
for that purpose. Up stairs, in the same
building, is the furniture department,
where plain and fine furniture is turned
out by experienced workmen. Old time
furniture is here made as goods the new"
and with very little expense. The
BLACKSMITH SHOP
Is complete in every respect, and turns
out splendid work All the clothing is
made, too, inside the walls.
Col Hamilton's direction of the prison
while most rigid, is still marked with hui
manity. A well-disposed convict has COM
paratively an easy time; but woe unto the
obstreperous.
So extensive and diversified are their ia
cilities for doing work, the lessees, Messrs
Jones 5. Hamilton & Co., are now receiving
contracts from all parts of the State (Which
are executed at very low figure) for erect
ing or repairing public buildings, such as
court-houses, jails, churches, etc, also
trestles, bridges, railroad and levee works
inside the walls, as L have stated, wagons,
buogies, carts, plows and wheelbarrows
are being constantly turned out; and from
the furniture department there comes bed
steads, cots, washstands, tables, mattresses.
and every article in that line. They sup
ply merchants and planters with shoes, in
any quantity. They guarantee all their
work, and their ability to produce it
cheaper than elsewhere is undisputed.
The writer was impressed with one fact
| in going the rounds Of the prison, namely,
that while the stigma was ineffaceably upon
those wretched people, they are neVerthe-
| less not utterly outside the bounds of that
| blessed privilege, Hope, and that wheI they
finally emerge from the dungeons in which
| they have so long been encased, 1t is still
| in their power to retrieve much of their
loss Inside they have been taught useful
trades. Let them shun idleness as a demon
and in constant, perSevering labor they
will find pauacea for their trouble, and
force once more the respect of their fellow
men.
The present lessees deserve the very high
est credit for the able manner in which the
prison is conducted. OBSERVER.

CYCLONE IN GEORGIA.

ATLANTA, GA cyclone passed over a
section of country four miles from Rome,
Ga, clearing every thing as it went. As far
as heard from, eight persons were injured
and several horses and mules killed. Trees
three feet in diameter were twisted off and
swept away, and nine dwellings blown
down. The path of the cyclone was 500
yards wide, passing from southwest to
northwest
