Memphis Appeal
A romantic marriage took place here
on Mardi-Gras. A young gentleman

met on the street and commenced ban
tering each other about marriage. He
offered himself in a jesting way, and the

ried at the time. but Cupid was at work
shooting arrows, and the discussion was
resumed in the parlor. He again Of

caught up her hat, ''Let us 60" He
seized his hat and assented. They vis-
tied the county clerks Office, secured a
license, and repaired to the residence
of a clergyman, stating the object of
their visit. He asked if it was run

'.Not exactly" The clergyman wished
to know if the young ladyss parents had
agreed to the marriage. The young
man said ''No, but that he could send
for her mother" 1t was done, and the
mother, after objecting, was induced to
say Yes" They were married, and
are now as happy as any of those who
married after long courtships, and more
SO, perhaps. May they live long and
prosper.

Solid Words.

Ignorance is the mother of all evils
Common sense is not a common thing
Constancy in mistake is constant
folly.
A good character shines by its own
light.
No man can be wise on an empty
stomach.
Nothing is so good as it seems before
hand.
He who has lost his honor can lose
nothing more.
Love dies of disgust and is buried by
oblivion.
One ungrateful man Injuries all that
are in distress.
Politeness is the expression or imita-
ton of social virtues
, No conflict is so severe as his who Ia
bors to subdue himself.
In love there are no treaties of peace,
there are only truces. A grand safe
guard for doing right is to hate all that
is wrong.
In the world there are so few voices
and SO many echoes.
True merit is like river-the deeper
it is the less noise it makes.
Favors of every kind are doubled

BUCK WHEAT CAKES.
Ifrom "a. Ner York TriJune.l

From the Nep York Tribune.l
Science has even revolutionized tho
method Of making buckwheat cakes. Tho
old way. setting to raise over night. sour.
ing. fermenting. docomposing and destroy.
ing the nutrient part Of the flour, car.
bonic acid gas was produced and the cakes
made light. But q well.founded suspicion
has always existed that buckwheat cakes
made In this manner arc unwholesome
and indigestible. because tho chemical
action that takes place so alters the -four
from its original character that the sour
ing or accompanying process continues In
the stomach and gives riso to dyspepsia
and kindred troubles.
Tho new way does away with all decom.
posing. all fermenting or souring. and
places upon our tables smoking hot buck.
wheats In less than Is minutes. Tho
leayening element of tho new process,
which Is the 'Royal Baking Powder" DO.
ing mixed with tho flour and moisture
added. evolves the leavening gas, and In
no way changes the dough from Its orig
inal sweet and nutritious condition.
In point Of healthiulness. II Ia q positive
fact that bu~ckwheat and griddle cakes
made in this way with tho "Roysl" pow.
der are very healthy. and can DO eaten with
IMMUNITY by dyspeptics and invalids with
out discomfort.
Various preparations and mixtures have
been put on the market from time to time
to take the place Of the Royal Baking
Powder" such as "self. raising or "grid.
die cake" flours, but analysis shows many
Of them to be mado from unwholesome
substitutes and strong acids. which have Q
corroding effect IN tho membranes Of the
stomach. II Is much safer for all consum.
ers to purchase flour themselves that they
know to be good and reliable, and add the
baking powder at o considerable saving,
than to purchase any OF the so-called
"self.raising" fiours. which arc usually
compounds Of the vilest nature, contain.
ing alum or phosphates. 1t Is stated that
three-fourths Of the ''seli.raisins buck.
wheat sold In tho market Is nothing more
than "middlings." or the dark.colored
siftings and impurities which form tho
refuse in the manufacture oil the higher
grades OF flour.
The following is q good recipe and most
economical:
Quick BucKwHEAr CAKEs.-To n pint
Of buckwheat flour. while dry. add two
teaspoonfuls ROYAL BAKING POWDER. Q
teaspoonful salt. one scant tablespoonful
brown sugar or Now Orleans molasses to
mako them brown, mix woll togstheri and
when ready to bake add n pint cold
water or sufficient to form o batter, stir
but little, and bake Immediately on q hot
griddle.
