Buying Bottom Lands.

A year or two ago Michigander who
was in New Orleans thought it would
be q nice thing to own some real
estate in the South, and he wasn't long
in discovering Mississippian who
could accommodate him. For what he
considered an extraordinary cheap price
the Wolverine took in 500 acres of
what the other called rich bottom lands,
and came home with his hat on his ear.
This last winter he found Detroiter
who was going down that way and asked
him to run over the farm and see what
sort of property it was. A letter was
received from the traveller the other
day which read:
81 didn't run over your purchase, but
did the next best thing-I sailed over
it. The name of the lake is Lake Des-
pair, and your bottom lands are at the
bottom of the lake. Didn't see any
signs of crop on them, but presume
you will have no trouble in growing
alligators twenty feet long. If you
want the other $4,000 acres think they
can be had at the same price. Please
write at once"

Domestic Economy.

HoMINY FRITTERs.-Taket two teacup-
fuls OF cold boiled hominy, one cup of
sweet milk, four teaspoonfuls of flour,
little salt and one egg; beat vigorous
ly, and drop with spoon into hot lard !;
try until brown. Rice can DO used in
stead Of hominy.
CRACKER GRIDpLE CAKES. One pint
of cracker dust; the yelks OF two eggs;
thin with milk, and when it swells add
more milk until of the right consistency;
salt. and when ready to bake add the
whites Of the eggs beaten stiff,
OYSTER PrE.-Take two cans of oys-
ters, and having lined small baking
pan with paste, pnt in layer Of oysters
then layer of dough and the remain
der of the oysters Season with plenty
of butter; pepper and salt 20 taste; pour
in the liquor of the oystegs, enough to
make good gravy. Pit Oh the top
crust and bake.
CRUMPETs. Mix quart Of good milk
with water to make batter; add little
salt, an egg, and teaspoonful of good
yeast beat well, cover it up and let it
stand in a warm place to rise. Clean
the muffin plate, or, not having this, q
frying pan, while warm, over the fire,
and rub it with creased cloth or little
butter tied up in piece of muslin ;
pour a cupful of batter into the pan or
on the plate; as it begins to bake raise
the edge all around with sharp knife.
When one side is >done, turn and bake
the other side. Crumpets are generally
now poured into proper-sized rings OF
tin, which makes them all size and
thickness. g.
To MAKE A NICE DIsH.-A nice dish
for supper is made of sweet or Irish po-
tatoes, which have been left from din
ner (either baked or boiled. Slice them,
but not in very thin slices, lay in bak-
ing tin or pudding dish, and cover each
layer with little Jumps Of butter and
with pepper and salt. IF you like the
flavor of pork put two or three thin
slices of salt pork on tile top. Bake for
half an hour. Raw potatoes may be
prepared in the same way, but will re-
quire longer time to bake them. To
give an excellent flavor to warmed-over
potatoes take some of the fat that you
cut from slices OF beefsteak, fry in the
pan till you have as much as you need,
then take out the scraps and put in the
potatoes. This is better than butter.
MASHED SALT CoD.-Take some sailed
Goldfish, that has been soaked at least
twenty-four hours. Boil it in plain
water, drain it, carefully pick out all the
skin and bones and separate the fish into
small flakes. Put the flakes into a
basin, and work them with fork until
every flake is broken into small pieces.
Rub q saucepan freely with garlic, put
the fish and a small quantity of fine
salad oil into it, stir well with a fork.
Place the saucepan on very slow fire,
and never cease stirring the contents;
pour into it salad oil and milk alternate
". in the smallest possible quantities,
but continuously until the mixture as
sumes the appearance of thick, creamy
paste. Season with white pepper, add
some lemon juice, and never leave off
stirring; for it is upon the thoroughness
of this operation that the success OF the
dish depends. Serve piled on a dish,
with bread sippets fried in butter.

'Most excellent. Prices must range high.
