Yiceroy Of Alsace-L0rraIne.

The Berlin correspondent of the Manchester
Examiner and Times writes: "The plan for
making the Crown Prince Regent or Viceroy
OF Alsace-LOrraine begins to take shape and
substance. His imperial highness is said not
to be absolutely hostile to the proposed honor.
Prince Bismarck has had it under considera-
ton, and, as for the Alsatians themselves,
they would seem, ii the semi-otficial press is
trustworthy, to be unhappy and discOnsOlate
because the scheme has not yet been adopted.
Undoubtedly the manly and genial character
of the Crown Prince and the tact of the Crown
provinces as they do all other people. But
their influence would depend in great measure
on their residence In the provinces, and this
is one of the knotty points to settle.
''The National Zeitatng inquiries whether it
would be expedient for his highness to take
up his quarters at Strasburg during a long
term of years. This question, you will see,
implies the most loyal belief in the Emperor's
Immortality; but for my own part, being no
German, and having no fear about looking
dynastic German facts in the face. l am COM
PEELED to say that the princes term as regent

hopes not, and is said to favor plan for con-

that Fritz may be always near him. Should
the regent be appointed, the Legislature OF
the province would become more Independent,

watching the Russian OffIcers-N0 Dis
cOYeries-The Russians in No Hurry.

New YORK, May 19.-The movements Of
the Russian officers in this city yesterday
were sharply watched, but nothing was dis
covered which has not already been stated
They were out nearly all day, and were In
close communication with the Russian minis
ter and consulate at the Everett House.
1t was stated that the Russian officers,
from present indications, meant to spend the
entire summer here while they are quietly
looking about for steamers which could be
easily used for privateers. They seem to be
in no special hurry to put down their roubles
for any particular ship, and before parting
with their money are evidently determined to
make sure Of good bargain.
None OF the shipowners visited yesterday
were willing to admit that Russians were in
neg citations with them.
c, w. Richardson, of Richardson & Bros,
agents of the Hamburg Line, to which the
Cimbria formerly belonged, said that all the
information which he had on the subject of
Russian negotiations for the purchase of ad-
dtional ships of the Hamburg Line he had
got from the newspapers.

they would be as urgent for liberal appropra-
tions by Congress to improve this, great river
as those are who live upon it's banks.
Unfortunately sectional jealousy steps In,
| and New England members are the bitterest
enemies to appropriations for Southern
streams. Ii they wers as shrewd as they
have the credit of being. they would know
that they ultimately reap the fruits of South
ern labor During the days of slavery the
slave owner was little more than an over
seer or agent for the Eastern merchant. All
the proceeds Of slave labor sooner or later,
in one way or another, found their way to th e
suits of the war. After the Southerner lost
his slaves, he was about the poorest man on
earth. No brown stone fronts or palatial
country residences graced the towns or dotted
the rural districts of the South. Very few
| planters had any money, because they had
been spending it all for Eastern or foreign
| fabrics and luXuries. Nothing was left to the
average Southern planter but his lands and
his worn out teams and farming utensils.
| And If all this was 50 before the war it is
| equally as much, il not more, the case now,
The only difference is that the slave owner
squandered his substance on more costly
luxuries then, while the slave had but little
to spend. Now the latter has more expe-
| rience than he wants and the result is the
same-all the money realized from cotton is
finally gathered in by New York, Boston,
Philadelphia and the manufacturing towns
of New England.
That section then is Interested In the OPEN
ing of every new cotton field in the South,
and voting appropriations to such streams
| as Red river is. only casting bread upon the
waters which will return to them before many
days.

Red River Improvement.

highly important and interesting letter
on Red river, from Captain Aiken, Of the Red
River Transportation Company, to Represen-
tative Robertson, recently appeared in the
New Orleans DEMOCRAT, and we had intend
ed giving it in this mornings issue OF the
Times, but are forced to defer it until to-mor-

The letter contains practical facts stated by
q practical man who knows whereof he
writes they are not the fine spun theories OF
a visionary.
We have often wished that the leading COM
mercial men of The Eastern cities who are
deeply interested in the production of cotton
could make trip up Red river--see what
magnificent spectacle is presented by the fine
plantations from Alexandria, say to the old

Editor Demovat-I find the following in a
city paper. coming from one OF its corre-
spondents:
"At Kansas City we stand upon the threshold
of new order of things. The slow and tedious
process by which older States have been settled

souls to Its population this season.

No girl can read her title clear to good
husband until she knows how to make tomato
ketchup-or 'catsup." If you prefer it. In n
week or so this delicious vegetable will be most
abundant. and our housewives all know that
the tomato ketchup of commerce Is not COM
parable at all to the genuine home made arti-
Gle. The following recipe has come to us from
source which places 1t above suspicion:
TOMATO KETCHUP.
One peck Of ripe tomatoes; four pods of red
pepper, fresh from the vines six white onions
chopped very fine; teacup Of grain pepper :;
one cup of allspice and cloves and one of cell
cry seed; salt to taste; six garlics and a teacup
of brown sugar. Scald and peel the tomatoes,
preserving the juice. Stew tomatoes. garlic,
onions. spice and pepper together: strain and
add the celery seed. and boil dawn. Bottle and

We have none that we can recommend. Next
week. however. we shall not fail. In lieu there-
Of. and by way of apology. We give the follow
ing recipe for

The recipe is for one gallon and a half. Six
pounds of white sugar, one quart of lemon
Juice. one gallon OF water-hot is best-poured
on the skins Of six lemons After soaking sew

of four eggs, we'll beaten. Stir it as YOU do ice
cream; add the eggs Just as the mixture begins
to freeze.
PINEAPPLE ICE.
To one bottle Of pineapple add q pint of hot
water; sWeeten to your taste. The pineapple
must be chopped very fine to be frozen hard.
1t is an improvement to add the juice OF two
lemons.
The pineapple put up In its own Juice is
best but if the fresh fruit Is used it must never
apple leaving the head as a handle by which
to hold it and then, beginning at the base,
gouge" Off the meat with silver fork, leaving
the tough stem in the centre. But fresh pine
apple, prepared this way Is positively too good
| to make pineapple ice of.
