RECIPE FOR APARTY.-A facetious gentleman
who has suffered, thinks the modern recipe for
a party is the following: take all the ladies
and gentlemen you can get. pat them into a
room with small fire and stew them well;
have ready piano, handful of prints and
drawings. and throw them in from time to
time; the mixture thickens sweeten with
politeness, and season with wit. if you have
any, if not, flattery will do well, and is very
cheap; when all have stewed for an hour, add
ices, jellies, cakes, lemonades and wines.

Editor Spectator:-I noticed an article in the
last issue of the SPECTATOR upon "The County
Roads, and as the writer wishes the views of
others upon the subject. will give some
views upon the Importance of a change in the
present law. 1t might be we'll to have Coun-
ty Convention to draft some plan to be pre-
scented to the Legislature, and, when there
passed. to be submitted to the voters for rati-
fcation or rejection. Would his proposition,
viz: "A special tax, say one dollar per capita,
and not less than fifteen cents on the one hum
dred dollars worth of property, both real and
personal" ever be satisfactory to the majority
OF the people? Most certainly it would not
l would suggest that every man Except those
exempt by law be compelled to work the road
one day in the year, and that road-tax of ten
or twelve cents on the hundred dollars of real
estate, not personal property, be levied and
appropriated to MacAdamize the worst parts
of the leading roads. do not Believe in tax
ing personal property for the benefit of roads,
because the value of personal properly is not
increased. but real estate is more valuable
when convenient to good roads. and is the
property that should be taxed to keep the
roads in good repair.
Would such law be ratified by the people?
