simplicity of French Cookery.
London Truth.

LONDON lrutn.
a deputation of Ilndoo5 once waited
on Duplex, who so nearly anticipated
the work of Warren Hastings and won
the empire OF the East of France. The
crear Procounsul, however. was at that
moment engaged on what he considered
the most important Of all business, and
instead of admitting his visitors sent
them a message to the effect that CHS
Excellancy was at dinner, and the
Christian religion strictly forbade a
man, when dining. to occupy himself
about any other earthly affair." The
Ceputation retired, much edited at the
piety Of the Iovernor. The French
have long been our masters in the art of
cooking, because they threw their souls
into the business from the beginning,
not without the implied approval of so
severe moralist as Jonson, who argued
that dinner was the chief business of
every day, and that a man who cared
nothing about what he ate or what he
set before his guests was fool.
The merit of French cookery is its SIM
plicity. Goldsmith knew nothing about
TIE matter when ne talked of green and
yellow dinners" at the French Ambassa-
doris. In fact, he puts himself out of
court in commanding such a compound
as stewcd pig with prune sauce. Fresh
pork can only be served roasted salt pork
boiled. At the same time 1t must be ad-
mitted that in the north OF France and in
Belgium they serve fruit sauce with satI-
sages. The sauce is none other than
gooseberry fool, made of green gooseber-
ries rather less than ripe and unsweet-
ened. The Belgians boast that they, of
the whole Gallo race, best understand
what is good. A wealthy Frenchman,
now residing in the Walloon country,
recently indorsed this statement. On
being asked why he had expatriated
himself he replied that he had tried four
different lands, with view TO ascertain.
ing in which of them the inhabitants
kept the best table. "In France" he
continued, Il found they ate well but
drank bad wine; in Germany they drank
good wine but ate the most execrable
dishes; in England the eating and drink
ing were alike bad; IN Belgium they were
both good"

BURNT CORK.
A Queer Device to Secure a Marriage.
New York World.


Social circles at Gardiner. in this coun-
ty, are greatly excited at present over
the elopemen. and marriage of Miss
Carrie nj. Plant, a young white woman,
with James W. Sampson. q mulatto. Miss
Plant is niece of Mr. John Ii. Deyo, q
well-to-do farmer, residing in the town
Of Gardiner, who during the war was
extensively engaged in trading along the
Mississippi and was estimated to be
worth $4,000. He was well known at
New Orleans and tbereabous. After the
war Mr.. Deyo settled down on his farm
in this county, and, as he was childless,
his niece, Carrie Plant, WAS adopted into
the family. During the past summer
Mr.. Deyo, being sick and unable to as
sst in the working of his farm, hired
John Wesley Sampson, a young colored
man of about q years of age. He was u
good worker, polite and pleasant about
the house and farm, and soon won the
goodwill and respect OF those about him.
After time IL was noticed that Wesley
was paying Miss Plant too much atten-
tion, and her uncle two weeks ago con-
cluded that it would be advisable 10 send
his niece off on visit of month or so.
But before he could make his intentions
known both Wesley and his niece were
missing. Search was at once instituted,
but without avail. The climax was
reached Saturday last, when il was dis
covered that after encountering many
difficulties he runaway pair had been
made man and wife. Sampson and
his bride, it finally leaked out, had
visited a number OF ministers and ius-
tices of the peace, but under no circum-
stances would they listen to their en-
treaties to be married They had about
given up in despair, and left for the
house Ct one James Cantine, who keeps
a low resort. There the wife of Cantine
Ia white woman) resolved that the pair
should be married even if she had to
resort to strategy. II was drcided that
Miss Carries face should be blackened
with burnt cork. This was done, and the
pair started Oh TO the parsonage of the
Reformed Dutch Church Of Stone Ridge.
where Rev. V. 5. Ilurlbert, the pastor.
without for moment suspectlng the de-
ception, united them in wedlock. When
the news reached her former home her
uncle was nearly crazed. Sampson and
his wife have settled down At Lapala, G
negro colony not far from this city.
Miss Plant, who is now seventeen years
of age, would have fallen heis to the
larger part of the property of her uncle,
who is estimated to be worth from
100000 to $4,000.

The great wedge-like mass of timber
has formed itself into pyramids, deep
gulches and every imaginable shape,
while the water, forced from its original
level, rushes through the chaos of logs
with subdued roar mingling with the
noise of the cataract. Never before in
the history Of Grand Falls has the like
been witnessed. On Friday night the
jam formed at Lookout Point, half mile
below the cataract. Since then the drive
has been in active operation, and the
gorge has been steadily filling up by the

gorge and has reached the main pitch,
and is now steadily covering up the falls

The DIN produced by the logs as they
arrive at the brink, pitch over and en-

for long distance. Country people are
hocking far and near to behold the sight.
The logs are not as high as the suspen-
sion bridge and do not threaten the

than a movement Of jam of logs. The
chances are that the drive will not move
