A Battle OF the Cooks.

4 remarkable incident, and one whose
serious character was partly Offset by its
righteousness, occurred the other MORN
ing in the kitchen of house on Penn
Avenue. The cook was busily manip
ulating the stirring paddle in "a huge
pot of mush, which was seething on the
stove. Two of the domestics employed
in the household were present, and
while the muSh was being worked up in
proper style the three fell into warm
discussion. Presently the argument Was
changed to a quarrel, and the women
entered into the dispute with great rel
ish. Something was said disparagingly
of the cook, and in a fit of supreme an
ger she retaliated upon the domestic
who made the remark by landing ladle
full of hot mush directly into her face.
Five minutes later the owner of the
house, aroused from his slumbers by the
noise, rushed into the kitchen, and was
literally astounded by the scene which
met his view. Soft masses of mush
were flying in all directions. The cell
ing, walls, carpet and various articles in
the apartment were copiously orna-
mented with big chunks Of the smoking
compound, and the irate domestics, with
their hands madly mixed up in each
others hair, were plentifuliy bespat-
tered with it. The battle had been
hot one in more senses than one, and af-
ter a while when the cOmbatants had
been separated it was found that each
of them had been burned more or less
by the hot mixture. A general dis
charge of the help followed.-PHtsJnrg

Foreign Notes.

The winter sowings of wheat in the
south of Russia have suffered greatly
from frost.
A st. Petersburg dispatch says the
report that Gen. Melikoff Wore a coat OF
mail when the attempt was made to as
sassinate him is false.
Christine WILSON'S health is greatly
improved, and the fear that she would
lose her Incompatible voice no longer
agitates the minds of her friends.
As an indication of Mr.. Gladstone's
great popularity in Scotland, it is re-
ported that as high as $50 was offered
for tickets of admission to the hall in
Edinburg where he recently lectured.
Jorge Isaacs now appears as pro
visional President of Antioquia, in CO.
lombia, rice Pedro Rostrero: but as the
Vaccinations of the latier's ally, Rem
jifo, in the State of Cauca, are alarming,
the whole republic is announced by
President Trujillo to be under martial
law.
1t is alleged that the Pope, having
learned that several Catholic dignita-
ries in England had used violent Ian
guage against the British Government
and supported the Irish movement, has
expressed disapproval of their conduct,
and dispatched letters of remonstrance
to England.
Mr.. Hoppin, the general secretary
of legation in London, is charged by the
World of that city with wearing at court
sort of uniform including knee
brooches. As this is contrary to Ameri-
can rule and precedent, that lively jour-
nal wants to know if he will be CEN
sured by the Government.
The London Morning Post, in
leading article, views the Chinese aues-
ton as fraught with grave anxiety. Lit
tie doubt is felt in official circles in Lon
don that Russia and England are striv-
ing to foment war between China and
Japan, England backing China in hope of
weakening Russia: Russia backing Ja-
pan as defense against the aggressions
of China. Japan has good army,
trained in the principles of European
warfare. She has several ships, and in
naval equipment stands far ahead of
China.

From Kitchen to Throne.

We read of peculiar things happening
in life, and a wise man should be sur
prised at nothing. In like manner a
comely and modest woman has often a
fortune in her face, if she knows how
beauty should become her. To wit 4:
During the troubles in the reign of Kirg
Charles L., country girl came up to
London in search of place as servant
maid, but not succeeding she applied
herself to carrying out beer from a
brew-house, and was one of those then
called tub-women. The brewer, OBJ
serving well-looking girl in this low
occupation, took her into his family as
a servant, and after awhile, she behav-
ing with so much prudence and de-
corum, he married her. He died when
she was Yet young woman and left her
a large fortune. The business of the
brewery was dropped, and the young
woman was recommended to Mr.. HYDE
as gentleman of skill in the law to set
tie her affairs. Hyde (who was after
ward the great Earl of Clarendon), find
ing the widows fortune very considera-
BILE, married her. Of this marriage
there was no other issue than a daugh-
ter, who was afterward the wife of
James H., and mother of Mary and
