Admiral Bvthesea. q very DISTINGUISH

Admiral Bythesea, a very distinguish
ed officer, who has just retired from the
service, after having for many years
filled the post ofconsulting naval Officer
to the government of India, got his
name by being, when an infant, picked
ND at sea by a ship of war, dashed to a
bale of goods. Inquiry failed to elicit
any sort Of information about this
human hotsam; so the ships officers
adopted him, called him ''By-the-Sea,
and sent him to a naval school. The
first ship in which he served was that
which hal saved his life.

Recipes.
FIG PUDD1NG.-Half q pound Of the
best figs, half a pound of beef suet,
three tablespoonfuls of sugar, half q
pound of bread crumbs grated, three
eggs one nutmeg grated. These should
be all we'll mixed together and boiled
for four hours: served with sauce.
RICE PrDDrNG WlrnouT EGGs.-Onc-
half cup boiled rice, four cups sweet
milk, one-half teaspoonful cream Of
tartar, butter the size of il walnut; mix
altogether and add sugar, spice and
raisins to taste; bake. The pudding has
the appearance and taste of a two-egg
pudding.
WArERs.-Onc pint of flour, half a
pint of milk, a %tcaspoonful Of butter,
and a saltspoonful of powdered cinna-
mon for tiavoring. Made thus, these
waters. baked. of course, regular wafer
irons, serve like crackers for the tea
table. If wished to take the place Of
sweet cakes, add half a pound of sugar.
The batter should be of the consistency
of thick cream. 4 dessertspoonful is
enough to put in the irons at once.
PorTED MEAT.-Rcmove all the gristle,
hard pieces and fat from the meat;
mince it very fine, and pound it in n
mortar with a little butter, some gravy
we'll freed from fat, and q spoonful of
Harvey or Worcester sauce: beat it to n
smooth paste, seasoning during the pro-
cess with pounded Glove or allspice,
mace or grated nutmeg, salt and Il little
cayenne; put it in pots, press it close
down, and cover with clarified butter,
or with marrow fat.

In 1879, Illinois produced one-ffth Of

and according to the latest advices the
crop of 1850 will bear about the same
proportion. During the last twentv-one
years, after receiving q fair remunera-
ton for the cost of the production of
their corn, the farmers Of the State have
made a net profit of 81, 000, 600.

A ROBBING SCHEME.
An Honorable Plan for Robbing the

Without Incurring the Severe Penal
ties Of Trsngressed Law.
How Some Star Route Contractors
Propose to Put Up a Game.


Chicago, Nov. 2.-The 1riblias's
Washington special says: It has been
published on what is believed to be re-
liable authority, that a syndicate or
combination has been formed 70 secure
the large star routes in the west, known
as the October lettings" by buying
OF the lowest bidders, where contract
has been awarded, or by members of
the syndicate bidding at various places
on the routes, and then the lowest ones
declining the contract, until the gov
erument is forced to pay large sums for
the performance of the work. at an i'm
mense profit to the combination.
These schemes have already become
known to the postofiice department, and
are creating considerable discussion.
1t is stated that there is not at present
any law to protect the government
against any such frauds, but that as
soon as possible after the assembling of
congress an effort will be made to have
an act passed giving the postmaster
general, or his second assistant, the
peremptory power, on discovering any
indication of fraud, to annul the con-
tract and place temporary service on
the route, and to advertise for a new
contractor. The department intends
to fight, and break !up If possible any
such combination.

London, Nov. 2.-The Pail Mall
Gazette says: There is no truth what
ever in the statement that there is a
large amount of money in the Bank Of
England on deposit to the credit of the
confederate government, available for
the payment of confederate bonds. We
believe it does not hold single penny,
and doubt whether there is any such
money in any bank in this country.
The whole story is gross fabrication
and the fitting product of a speculation
that has no substantial foundation.

Star Of the Oath ult., has advices from
Lima of the 18th, which state that on
Saturday previous, a cablegram was
received announcing that the troops in
Arquipa had reyolted, imprisoned
Solas and his chief officers and de-
clared in favor Of Calderon. 1t is be-
lieved by the friends of the latter here
that the important departments of
Puno and Cazoo will follow, and that
this revolt against Pierola is due to the
belief that the U. s. intend an armed
intervention in behalf of the Calderon
government. Calderon was married on
Monday last. Rumor continues to as
sert that he meditates visiting Europe.

understanding the other day, during

the matter to Gen. Hurlbut, who in
turn referred it to Admiral Lynch. An
inquiry was held, and resulted in q
nigh Chilian official calling on Moore
TO explain that no discourtesy was in
tended.
