Lessons on Cookery.

The course of experimental lessons on cook
cry commenced at the rooms of the fraternity
yesterday afternoon by Miss Dods, a Scotch
lady, who recently came to this country. She
is one of the early graduates of the Kensing-
ton Training-school, and assisted in establish
ing a similar institution in Edinburgh, in
which she was teacher and lecturer for two
years. The thoroughness of her preparation
for the work which this experience has afford
ed is seen in the marked success of the lessons
she has given elsewhere.
There was large attendance yesterday af-
ternoon of our society ladies who had gathered
to hear her. Miss Dods is fair, quiet, self
possessed woman, with strong face, finely
poised head, and has ease of manner that shows
her mistress of her business. She wastes no
time in words but goes straight to work. She
possesses a charming Scotch 'burr," and is as
dainty and exquisite in her dress as can be
imagined. The little lady appears to have,her
numerous receipts at her tongues end, and
while she deity arranges one dish, she slowly
explains the properties of the ingredients en-
tering into its composition, throwing out many
valuable hints which cannot fail to be of use
to her pupils. The dishes cooked yesterday
bad very tempting look, and many praises
were bestowed upon the little woman by her
fair audience. In explaining her dishes she
never says so many pinches of salt or so many
cups of butter. She gives distinct measure
ments. After the lesson was ended the dishes
were sold to those who wished to buy.
This afternoon the menu will be as foil ows:
Foul trussed and dressed.

The State Valuation Commission will take a
recess today until the 9th of September. Be.
sides giving hearings to the members of the
legislature and other parties interested, the
commission has tabulated all the counties in
the State from the valuations of 1878 and 1879,
and these will be copied during the recess by
patent process, effecting saving to the. State
in the way of clerk hire to the amount of some
$1,000. From these valuations as a basis of
calculations, the commission will proceed with
the information they may obtain by other
methods, to establish a valuation for the mex
ten years. One of the important duties on
reassembling will be the fixing of the valua-
ton of the wild lands, and this will call forth
protrac ted hearings.
1t is gratifying to learn that from present
appearances the valuation of the State will
show healthy growth in property during the
past ten years. Aroostook and Penobscot may
possibly be the banner counties, the former
showing gain of between one and two mill
lions and aggregating in valuation some seven
millions of dollars According to the assessors
Statements the valuation of the INCORPORATED
towns in ArOoStoOk will come within $2OO,OOO
OF the entire valuation of the county in 1870
leaving out of the account entirely the wild
lands
Several of the counties will show a slight de-
crease, but taken as whole, throughout the
State, there has been an increase. This is
especially gratifying when it is considered that
the valuation of 1870 was made in period of
initiation and cheap money and that of this
year when we are down to the bed rock on the
currency question.

Bates College.


The hearing before the commissioners ap-
pointed by the Probate Court of Middlesex
county, Mass, to adjudicate the claims on the
estate OF the late Benjamin E. Bales has clos
ed. The matter is very impo rtant to Bates
college as one of the questions which the COM
missioners are to decide is the validity of Mr..
Bates subscription of 100000 to. that institu-
lion. The friends of the college are confident
That the claim will be allowed. The value of
the Bates estate has increased to such an ex-
tent as to remove all questions as to its suffi-
cheney to meet all claims, and leave a hand
some balance for the heirs. In May, 1878
when the state was declared insolvent, the
liabilities were estimated at 81 100, 900, and the
assets at $977 $3.50. 1t is now estimated that
the estate is worth nearly n million and
quarter of dollars, while the liabilities do not
exceed 100000.

His Popularity in the Buckeye State.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, April %, 1880.
MR.. EDITOR:-My business during the last
six months has called me through a large ma
iority of the counties in this State, and all the
most important ones. 1 am fully satisfied
that if full, free vote of the Republicans of
this State could be taken today at least two
thirds would be for Hon. James G.. Bl aine for
President, and careful observation confirms
me in the belief that no man that the Repub-
licans could nominate at Chicago would begin
to command the vote in this State which SEN
ator Blaine would poll. The old political ring
here are using every means to secure even a
complimentary vote for Sherman. It is in the
nature of supplicating appeal in the name of
State pride for an Ohio man. At the primary
elections for delegates from Cuyahoga county,
not only was this appeal relied on, but humid
reds of Democrats were voted in the interest
OF Sherman. In my ward, when / approached
the voting place, I was offered ticket and in
formed in answer to the question, fWhom do
the delegates favor for Presidential candi-
date?" Most of them are for Biaine.' soon
learned that this was the Sherman ticket in
disguise, while Blaine's name headed the 9TH
er ticket IN large type. Hundreds of Demo
Gratis and minors were allowed to vote, and a
trustee of the ward, himself Sherman man,
declared it was disgraceful. One old one
legged veteran, when appealed to last night
just to give Sherman complimentary vote,
replied that he "never wasted ammunition to
fire comp limentary salute in the face of The
enemy" The Western Reserve is red hot for
the "Plumed Knight" Garfeld's district the
18th, yesterday elected two thorough Blaine
m en- to represent them at Chicago and if the
M aine Senator does not secure the delegates
at large from Ohio he will certainly have
la rye minority Of the vote as first choice and
the solid vote of Ohio as second choice.

CAP'N CHASE FOR GOVERNOR.
Words That Will Make the Tabulator's
Bosom Swell With Pride.

From the Greenback-Labor Chronicle1
While Tom, Dick and Harry are working
for the Greenback nomination for Governor,
and while there men have been brought to the
front man who has neither brains nor money
to put into the campaign, we make this sugges-
ton, that it would be good idea to give the
nomination to Capt Charles Fl. Chase of Port
land, Or John B. Foster of Bangor, who were
members of Garcelon's Council Both are
eminently fit ID for office, and have position,
wealth and influence which they would use in
campaign. They have another advantage.
They have assisted to bring the government
back to constitutional grounds from
which the Republicans had drifted away, in
canvassing election returns. The nominal
ton of either of these gentlemen would be an
Endorsement of the Governor and Council In
such nomination the Greenback party would
take bold and determined stand; one which
would unite all elements of the opposition on a
question upon which everybody is deeply in
terested. How can the party fight the state
issue successfully without having man that
represents that issue in the field? Who can do
this better that Capt. Chase? While on the
Council he was firm, uncompromising and
strictly honest. He has been tried and found
as true as steel.
1t is such as this whom the Chronicle wants
for Governor. While other candidates are be-
ing doomed we say it belongs to some one Of
that board of men who from the 30th of Octo-
Der to the It'll Of January showed more of the
right sort of pluck and ability than any other
seven who were ever assembled together in the
state The Chronicle has no selfish motive in
saying this. Mr.. Fogg could not run if he
wanted to, or if the people wanted to have
him. He is not of the requisite constitutional
age. Our reasons are, therefore, wholly for the
public welfare; we want man for Governor
who will be Governor if elected, let the Re-
publicans do what they may to revolutionize
the state again.
few unwise Greenbackers want to ignore
the old Council and make new deal. Before
they could get through they would find their
error. 1t won't be very nice campaign work
to dodge the state issue, when the Republic
cans will be pressing it to the 'front.' The party
that tries it had better be in hades The way
to meet the assassins of constitutional govern
ment is with bold front in square stand up
fight. BY ignoring the late canvass and strad-
ding the question such a fight would be inn
possible. By nominating one of the members
of the Council for Governor and saying to the
Republicans, come on yeu rebels who have
revolutionized the state, we should have en-
thusiasm and victory. Amy other policy will
ha dafaot
