Before the year 1923 mustard was
little known at English tables. About
this time an old woman of the name 81
Clements, residing in Durham. began

the -four through several processes
necessary TO free it from its husks.
She kept her secret to herself for
many years, duiing which she sold
large quantities Of mustard through.
out the country, but especially to
London. Here it was introduced to
the royal table, where it received the
approval Of George l. From the cir
cumstance OF Mrs. Clements being a
resident Of Durham, it obtained the
name Of Durham mustard.
The manufacture of mustard con.
sisted in simply grinding the seeds
into a very fine flour, a bushel Of seed
weighing sixtypounds yieldingtwenty-
eight to thirty pounds of -four of
mustard. A false taste, however. arose
for having an improved color. and the

The Washington correspondent of

Artillery, who is a brother-in-law of
Gen. Grant, the Traveller correspond
ent was informed that the ex-presi-
dent was terribly in earnest in his
Mexican railroad project, and would
undoubtedly carry it into successful
execution. The general shows a de-
sire to see the matter carried through,
and is confident hat a great deal Of
money can be made out OF it. Colonel
Dent alluded in terms Of praise to the
brilliant business success of Buck
Grant and Jessie Grant, o n of the
general, both of whom have made a
great deal of money during the past
five years. They have displayed much
business tact, and have already accu-
Dulated a good sized fortune, and are
worth considerably more than their
illustrious father. The success of
these two brothers has led their older
brother, Lieutenant Colonel Fred
Grant, to send in his resignation as an
officer of the army, and he intends to
embark in railroad operations with his
father in Mexico"

The most remarkable circumstance
in connection with the publication of

anxiety with which several eminent
prelates have repudiated the work.
The Archbishop was perfectly Wrech-
ed at the report that he had presented
q copy TO the queen, and denied it
Hith almost ridiculous earnestness.
The Bishop Of Gloucester was mystic
riously unwilling that it should be
supposed that he was personally re-
sponsible for sending a copy to Wind
sor. The Bishop OF London's warn
ing against ignorant criticism is GER
tainly we'll timed. fer, some of the
alterations SAVIOR of the narrowest
pedantry. 1t seems doubtful wetheP
the book will ever supcrsede the au.

verdict Of co~nvocat:on; but as a COM
mercial speculation it is brilliant
