The Way to Cook Oysters.

The oyster is eaten in a variety OF
styles fried, broiled, stewed, steamed,
scalloped and raw. Some people in
Chicago eat them picked. No matter,
Chicago is young yet, and will learn
better after while. So wealthy and
enterprising city can not remain for
ever unciviIized. The best way to eat
oysters is in the old-fashioned Mary
land stew. Shuck your oysters, and on
pain of death let not drop of water OF
milk touch them. Let them repoSe for
a few moments in their own liquid,
while you cut up very small quantity
of fat. new bacon, with a shred here
and there of lean with it. About al
ounce of bacon TO quart of oysters.
Ham is not the best, neither is mid
ding; good, new shoulder is the arti-
Gle Put the bacon in a frying-pan and
heat rapidly over vigorously burning
fire. When the bacon is done to a crisp
pour in the oysters. Stew for two min
utes and half or three, no longer.
Pepper to suit taste while stewing. Il
the oysters are good saltwater bivalves,
they need no salt. Then pour out and
eat, thanking God you live in a Land
where the art of cooking oysters proper
Iy is not wholly lost. If you eat oys-
tiers cooked in this style you will never
eat them in any other if you can help it

Fall Flowing.

There is much difference in opinion
as to the best time of the year in which
to pillow different soils. Many farmers
are willing to admit THAI fall blowing
is desirable upon heavy soils, but con.
tend that spring blowing is best upon
light soils. All are willing to grant
that the tenacious character of a clay
soil is reduced, and its texture opened
and rendered less compact by the oper-
alton of frost. The Jumps fall apart
and are disintegrated by the mechanical,
effect of expansion, caused by the freez.
inc of the water held between the par.
ticles. The field, which was left by the
plow in mass of Jumps, is mellowec
and brought into condition, through
this influence, that any amount of pillow,

The same force which has caused the
clods to fall apart, also performed n nc

do not claim that it is advisable to
trust to fall blowing alone, for it often
happens that winter is open and wet,
and the ground becomes considerably
packed, SO that the cultivator is hardly
capable of loosening it up. In such
cases it should be replowed in the
spring, and thoroughly narrowed until
In good condition for seed.
There is still another advantage in
fall blowing, and that is, that it en-
ables the farmer to get his seeding done
earlier in the spring than he could have
done had the blowing been left over
winter. Work is more evenly divided
for both teams and men, when blowing
is done in the fall, while the weather is
cool and no other work pressing.
Three years ago it was SO wet in the
fall that the farmers of this sectien got
very little fall blowing done. The sue
ceeding spring there was a great de-
mand for horses and men, the supply
falling far short of the demand. Many
fields were plowed in the worst posi-
bic condition, while those who waited
for good weather were many days late
with their seeding. The yield per acre,
that season, was third less than the
average. This experience was not
without good, as it converted many.

What Is AfOOt i'm the South!

There is evidently disposition upon
the part of the department. officials in
the Post-office Department to have the
people believe that President Arthur
has turned over new leaf and will
have the department run in the interest
of the people instead of the whims and
convenienceS of the politicians. They
speak as though the Injunction OF the
New York San to 'turn the rascals
OUT will be obeyed. There are those
who believe that Arthur has nothing to
do with it, and that he is too shrewd q
politician to engage in anything of the
kind. Now that he has got through
fishing, maybe he will find time to rise
and explain. The Postmaster-Gene
would hardly have assumed so much
authority without the knowledge and
approval of the President, and those
who have been left out in the cold
might as well make up their minds to
90 to work to defeat him in the next
election. Government officials are not
bruteS to be kicked and cuffcd about
like so many dogs. and the party that
Will sustain an Administration that will
allow it should be told "to 90" Upto
this time the postmaster in this city has
no idea why he was removed, nor has
the people any information to give him.
All reasons for it are withheld by the
department, and the last words said to
him by Mr.. Lampson, the Inspector,
were: You and your Office are all
right" Yet but few days elapse and
he is unceremoniously removed, even
without minutes notification.
The truth is, the Republican party
has been so long in power until the
Administration treats all subordinates
as menialS. If any cause for this ex-
listed it would be different thing, but
to send men through the country apd
throw business men out of employment
without ceremony is more than the peo-
pie will quietly submit to, and such
proceedings will drive every decent man
out of the party. That there is some
great political move on foot in the
South we have no question. 1t is hard
ly probable that Arthur and his gang
would suddenly become so exceedingly
vlrtuous as to attempt to please the
people of the South rather than his
pets in politics. 1t may be that the re-
ductlon of the clerical forces in the
post-offlces will help to swell the Golfers
of the campaign fund-a Thing needed
just now since there can be no more
political assessments. Should this prove
to be the case, we will not be in the least
surprised, and the manner and time in
which these reductions are made
strengthens the belief Columbus Sun.

The Evening critic., 1883-02-01

A gentleman from Pennsylvania, who
encountered Ben Brewster in hilarious
state of intoxication the other day, called
the attention Of CRITIC man to the way
he first encountered the immortal Ben.
The gentleman said that he came to this
city to witness the inauguration of Presi.
dent several years ago and stopped at q
down-t town hotel, which was crowded with
the variety Of sight-seers and magnates
that usually flock here on such occasions.
On the second floor delegation of In-
dians were quartered, and as the hours of
the night grew on, the noble red men be-
came terribly drunk. Brewster was ON the
floor above and was discounting the In
dams in the amount of whisky consumed
The dancing and yelling of the Indians
tended to excite Brewster and his hilarious
movements attracted their attention, and
finally when morning was approaching the
Indians, prompted by curiosity, started TO
investigate the circus on the upper floor
while Brewster was enraged ut the dis
turbance down below. Both turned out
into their respective Railways and shortly
afterward several hundred guestswero awak-
ened to witness novel sight--a delegation
of Indians dancing war dance and brand
ishing whisky bottles at the bottom of the
stairs while Brewster Joined in the circus
arrayed in nothing but rufiled shirt and
dancing, cursing and yelling. Such an ex-
hibition Of himself was probably never
made before by public man, and will
never be forgotten by those who saw il.
