By accepting nn invitation from
Judge FELTON, on last Saturday cven-
ing to meet few friends at tile oilico
rooms OF the penitentiary, we were
treated to some of the finest music
ever heard in Canon. 1t was simply
grand, aud our auricular appcudaxes
were made to tingle. and our feet
to beat tiuhe.st 10 tire sweet refrains
that were waited by the babny air OF
evening odt through the open win-
dows aud lost in a qniyorinz echo

you'd. The Parlor Orchestra are en-
titled to much praise for this. delight

to add to the general enjoyment by
some violin and guitar music very
excellent and truly wonderful in the
rendering. Seven or eight couplo
were present beside about twenty
gentlemen who stood in the halfway
enjoying the cnchantiilent of tho

MIR. William +. Robertson, of Can
on City, candidate for the nomination
for state treasurer, on the republican
ticket, Is receiving many commenda-
tory notices in different parts of the
state. and will go into the convention
with considerable strength. Fremont
county should, and we have no doubt
will, give him a solid support. Mr..
Robertson is a gentleman of uucom-
promising integrity and is every way
qualified to make an cxccllent treas
urer, and his domination can be Sc
cured by earnest work.

WHY ENGLISHMEN EAT MEAT
From The Pail Mall 0azstte.

From The TaH Mall gazette
The true reason why we seem to the vlslt0rs OF
our restaurants to have no vegetables is that the
cooks of Europe have served an apprenticeship OF
thousand years the carcasses OF OK, pig, sheep,
deer. goose, hare and other game and fish In Inc
variety. We are meat-eaters because our fathers
had little else to eat. The plains and green hills OF
the cold North were dotted with wild grazing ami
mails as an English park is now dotted with deer or
q Western prairie with antelope and bison. There
was no green meat worth eating. few genera
tons only have passed since our now cOmmOnes'
vegetables came from the Continent. we are
adding to their number every day. and thus by the
aid Of cultivation we are winning back our way TO
a simpler healthier food. and one more like IN klnd
that on which man subsisted in the tropical or SUD
tropical regions whence he originally came. But
the education of the cook bars the way TO progress
Even when he gives us French beans they SWIM N
butter. The French cocks, supposed to De the Dest
systematically make tho natural flavor OF the many
delicate vegetables of theiIlnarkets secondary to
that Of butter-now, alas often only cart grease OF
hardened oil.
In onr restaurants the best fish and meat are al
ways pr0curablc. The vegetable kingdom is
usually represented by mess of ill-smelllng cab
bage and boiled potato Under the circumstances
one wonders why anybody has the courage to advo-
cate vegetarlanlsm but at the very time that tnis
mag be witnessed III the restaurants our garaens @
are full of tender vegetables. No doubt we may
have have much to do TO improve them, ana we
ought to grow more than we do. Nevertheless, IL
will all be almost useless until there IS revolution

without the aid of the animal Kingdom, the more
delicate green vegetables that are and may be

require the art of the cook, and must be saturated
with grease and spices to make them edible The
true art of cookery is only to dea wit the best and
tenderest of each kind. and jealOusy preserve its
flavor but this art is in any general sense yet
unborn. Those who know. orr markets best can
also verify that no one connected with hote IS or
restaurants take. the same trouble TO purchase
the best vegetables that they do with meat fish or
game. They do not know or inquire after the best
quality. much less pay for it. Our garden pro-
ducts should not be Judged by visit to any restau
