How Theirs Got His Fayorite Dish.
From the Manchester Times. ]


Not only are the French people fond
OF dining, and cOnnolsseurs in dining, but
they may be appealed to on their gas
tronomlc side. For instance, nothing
pleased them better in NJ. Theirs, than
his knowing partiality for the good
things of life. NJ. Theirs great weak
ness was a dish, strictly provencal and
essentially vulgar, called brandade, con-
sistlng of salt andoi skillfully combined.
Doctors In late years forbade M. Theirs
to eat cod N any shape or form, and,
much as he wished for it, Nine. Theirs
was infexible. But M. Theirs had an
ally, NJ. Mignet, and from time to time
this gentleman used to reach the hotel
st. Georges with voluminous parcel
under his arm. He would bow rapidly
to the ladies, and pass into the great
mans study. Then an urgent plea of
important work was put forward. the
doors were locked and intruders sent
away.
Directly they were alone the two
friends undid the parcel, which was
simply a tin box wrapped in a newspaper
and containing an unctuous brandade,
made by the best provencal cook in
Paris. With lingering delight the
friends consumed this forbidden delicacy:
and, when the box was entirely empty
and the doors were unlocked, Theirs
would be heard exclaiming, My dear
Mignet, it is the masterpiece of human
genius!' And every one thought he re-
ferred to some great literary achieve
ment. But Nine THEIRS one LAY caught
the two culprits at their work, and re-
preached M. Mignet so severely that af-
ter that be never dared enter the hotel
with a parcel under his arm

Differing Tastes of the Races.

From the San Antonio (Tex) Express.
The report of DR.. Smith, stationed
with the troops at Fort Clark, Texas,
shows that there is quite difference in
taste between the white and the negro
troops at that place The troops are
furnished with certain rations. If they
do not care for them they can sell them
and purchase other groceries and sup
plies in their stead The doctor finds
that the negroes sold most of their cof-
fee and salt, whence it might be infer
red that they did not appreciate these
articles. On the other hand, the white
troops sold their pork and bacon and
pepper. A curious circumstance was
the fact that the negro soldier consumes
twice as much sugar as the white one; a
still stranger fact, the declaration that
the darkies use, on the average, three
times as much soap as their white
bret ren
