Useful Family Hints.


To Re'looate fBlack Grenadine-Takc
strong cold coffee, strain it, and wiring the
| grenadine out of itquite tig Int, afterwhich
shake out and fold up. Then iron it with
amoderatcly-hot iron over IL piece of any
old black material.-Aunt Aid,c. -
Purim 1'udding.-Onc pound of cur
rants, one pound Of raisins, one pound of
sugar, one pound of chopped suet, half a
pound OF bread crumbs, half pound of
flour, a quarter of a pound of almonds,
half pound of mixed can,licd peel, 4
ground nutmeg, a teaspoonful of ginger,
pinch OF salt, put together all the ma
terlals and a, dozen eggs, well beaten,
whites and yolks separately: Have a pot
with water on the boil, in the bottom of
which is plate. To the pudding, ut the
last, add one half Il glass of wine, sherry
or Madeira, ora fourth Of glass of bran
dy: Tic the pudding ina cloth. When
boiling lift it up occasionally. 1t should
boil four hours. Eat with wine sauce
N. RO.
To Boil Rice SavannaA Fashion.-Take
one pound OF rice and pick it THOROUGHLY
to get out black seeds or rcd rice. Put on
the tire in a porcelain or tin-lined pot,
three quarts OF water with two even table,
spoontuls OF salt. Let the water come to
boil. Now wash the rice in three wa
ters. The reason for this is to get rid of
the pulverized rice flour which adhcrcs to
the grain. This is necessity; otherwise
the rice never will be dry. Throw the
rice i'll the water when it is at the full
boil. Let the rice boil rapidly for
20 minutes. Put the cover on and drain
the water entirely off. Cover the pot.
shake well, and put on the back of the
stove, where it is not too hot, for Is
minutes. This cvaporates any of the wa
ter. Shake the rice into the dish YOU
wish to serve it in. Never use a spoon.
Rice should never DC glutinous. The
Ghoul that ate rice grain by grain in the
ARABIAN Nights" ate properly cooked
rice.--Bul Street.
Mayonnaise Sduce.-Take the yolk of
one hard boiled egg and the yolks of two
fresh eggs; mix thoroughly with !, wooden
spoon; add little by little half teaspoon
tul of salt, quarter Of a spoonful of
ground white pepper, and Il tablespoonful
Of vinegar. Add the oil last, drop by
drop. A mayonnaisc should lie smooth
and thick enough not to drop from the
spoon; at the concl fusion add a half tea
spoonful Of chopped parsley. In Summer,
mayonnaisc sauce will not thickcn at
times. This may arise from the vinegar
or salt being put in too large quantity at
once. In this case, make the mayonll;.isc
in tin dish surrounded with ice, and
there is no failure.

thank you for the truthful and kind
manner you have treated his memory. l

Buenavista. He was born soldier, (not

of Capt. Gibson's company, 3rd Indiana

was quite sick and unable to be Oh his

EDITOR PUGET SOUND DISPATCH:
The masquerade ball given by the Pa>
ciic Base Ball Club, Oh Christmas Eve,
was grand success both financially and
socially and it was certainly not the fault
of the managers of the ball if all present
did not enjoy themselves to their hearts
content. Many of the characters were
well sustained, and great was the surprise
manifested when the time tor unmasking
came, as the most intimate friends had
failed to recognize each other. The Club
cleared quite handsome sum over and
above all expenses, which sum is to be
donated to the purpose of putting the
ball grounds in the best possible shape for
the ensuing seasons campaign, and they
intend to make it the best ball grounds
in the Territory. The steamer Nellie did
not arrive till the morning after the ball,
so that those who were coming on her
with the expectation of participating in
the festivities were disappointed, but the
boys have concluded that dance should
be given for their benefit on Christmas
night. which was done, and notwithstand
ing that the masquerade did not termi--
nate till four in the morning of Christ
mas day, there was cutie large attend
ance and it was very enjoyable affair
throughout.
The genial host Of the Snohomisb Ex-
change, Mr.. l. Cathcart, had quite an ad-
venture on late trip he made from town
to his logging camp some five miles from
here. When about mile from his camp
he was confronted on the trail by large
cougar who seemed disposed to contest
the right of way aud the quarters being
too close to admit of any equivocating
on Mr.. Cathcart's part, he drew his re-
volver, and when in the act Of firing,
through some cause, thecvlinder dropped
out, and whether through fear on the
part of the cougar or tor some other rea-
son best known to himself the brute
skulked away, much to the relief of Mr..
Cathcart, who found the position any
thing but agreeable.

Gen. Joseph Lane-DEAR SIR: You are
invited to attend a meeting of the asso--
citation of the veterans of the Mexican
war, of the State of Indiana. to be held
at the city of Indianapolis, in the Su-
preme court room Corner of Washing
ton and Tennessee streets), on Thursday,

inviting me to attend meeting of the
association of the veterans of the Mexi-
can war, of the State of Indiana, to be
held at the city OF indianapolis, on Thurs
day, Jan. 8, 1880; and to bring any vete
rams may know. l thank you for the
kind invitation you have been pleased to
extend to me and other cd veterans of
my acquaintance there are but very few
of US in this State, and with one or two
exceptions, they are old, inirm and poor.
am unable to accept your invitation
and 1 deeply regret it, for we'll know
that there will not upon any other occa-
sion be as many of the old veterans to-
gether as will meet on the Forthcoming
occasion; and yet am compelled to fore
go this last opportunity that shall have
of meeting my old companions in arms,
to whom am strongly attached. saw
and witnessed their good and soldier>
like bearing under all circumstances, and
especially their gallant conduct upon
many battle field, and the qualification
that it would afford one to meet them
again in life would be greater and above
any other earthly pleasure that could be
conferred upon me; but cannot meet
you or them. have not the money to
bring me to Indianapolis and back to my
home. l have little hope of Congress
allowing US pension; we seem to be ig-
nored, although our services secured to
our great country all of California, Ne
vada, Utah and New Mexico an empire
of itself, and to our country worth more
than money, and yet the remaining few
Of US can hardly expect a pension. Well,
my friends, we will not very long need
that little that is so Justly due US from
our government; we served her faithful-
ly, honestly, lntelligently and gallantly,
and under all circumstances did our duty
and if Congress will not recognize us we
must do as best we can without its aid.
My dear sirs, you will please accept
my klndest wishes and earnest prayers
for the health, prosperity and content>
ment of yourselves, of the association,
and all old veterans of the Mexican war.

WThc FURRY in stocks"

Always means an opportunity for some
shrewd and lively operator to make hand
some profit. Messrs. Lawrence & Co.,
Bankers, New York, have established the
new combination system of operating in
stocks, so that capital in any amount from
S. to $50, 600 can be used profitably at any
time that may suit the customer. By pool
ing the orders of thousands of patrons into
one immense sum, and operating them as a
mighty whole, under the most experienced
skill, vast profits are made, which could be
gained in no other way. These are divided
pro rata among the shareholders monthly.
An investment Of $40 returns $50, or 5 per
cent. on the stock. $100 pays $3.50, and,so
on, according to the market. A St. Louis
patron made over three hundred per cent.
on an investment in October by the combi-
nation method. Messrs. Lawrence & Co.'s
new circular (mailed free) has +" two uner-
ring rules for success, and full information
so that any one can operate with profit.

bonds supplied. Apply to Lawrence g. Co.,

Our Railroad Kings Abroad. /.

Recently two or three railroad mag
mates have been fluttering over the con-
tinent-Col. Scott, Mr.. Gowen, Mr.. Jay
Gould, Mr.. Garrett. OF course their
appearance has created no little sensation,
and the incessant talk about stocks has
become more vigorous and excited than
ever. Colonel Scott has almost entirely
recovered his health and sails for the
United States very shortly.
He and the other railroad kings have
been overwhelmed with tempting propo-
sails of one kind and another. One gen
tleman offers to construct railroad
across the Atlantic, another has a scheme
for working gold mines in Nova Scotia, "a
third begs to be appointed special agent
in Paris or London, and failing in that
asks for the loan of 800. This sort of per-
secution is the penalty OF being reputed
rich.
Colonel Scott has taken the precaution
to go to the quietest hotel in every city,
and has done all in his power to keep his
whereabouts a secret. Mr.. Gould has
been seen at the large hotels and there.
fore has been more deliberately hunted
especially when it became known that he
had carried out large transaction at
Amsterdam by which the Denver Pacific
Railroad became the property OF the
Union Pacific.
1t is known, moreover, that he has an.
other "big thing" in hand in connection
with telegraphs. The story ofhis having
paid very large sum down OIL the nail
in Amsterdam, to the great astonishment
of the worthy Dutchmen there assembled
was strictly true, but the details lost
nothing by travelling.
At Paris the amount was put to $3,-
100000, and, one day in this city, as ]
was going out OF "a picture gallery, an
old gentleman from New York assured
me that Mr.. Gould had just entered into
treaty with the French Government fol
the purchase of all the railwaysin France
The French "6nanciers," like NM
Phillippart & David, soon found means
Of assuring the New York visitor that
millions were lying around loose fol
any adventurous spirit to pick up. 1t |,
probable that any scheme which Mr.
Gould launched would float instantly, SC
great is the impression created by that
Amsterdam incident.
In London there has been great talk Of

Foreign princes have sought interviews
with him, and members Of Parliament
have waited outside his. door. He wa;

crowds who came to worship the gold ;,
