Mr.. Jefferson gives . graphic picture
Of the delights OF Roman cook over
pork meat: Tears OF joyful anticipa-
ton rolled down his cheeks when the
Fat porker dropped dead at his feet; and
as he wiped from the PROSTATE Great
ure's lips the stains of the sweet intoxi-
eating drink which had induced the
fatal apoplexy, he smiled with tender
oxultation. He had reason to love the
animal which afforded him materials
for his daintiest preparations. His
varieties of porcine dishes arc
almost countless. The spit, the grid
iron, the frying-pan, the oven, the
boiler and the stew-pan were all en-
ployed by turns In preparing the flesh,
which was the passion of Roman ep-
icures, and TO which the culinary pro-
fessors could impart no less than eighty
different favors.
The Apician cook was never proudcr
of himself and his profession than whom
he shifted the fragrant exhalations of a
small baked pig, which had been stuffed

minced pluck, dates, onions, snails,
mallows, beets, leeks, celery, cabbage,
coriander seeds, pepper, pinenuts and
garum. His hands trembled with fine
emotion as he made a deep incision
down the porker's back and poured into
it a hot mixture Of pepper, rue, garum,
sweet wine, honey and oil, thickened
with frumenti. "
The preparation above mentioned un-
der the name of "garum" appears tc
have been the condiment in greatest do.
mand. No banquet was approved un-
less garum dominated the flavor of most
of the dishes. 1t was used in soups and
stews, in ragouts and sausages, in force
meats aud salmagundis of fishes. I'm
proving most materials, and agreeing
with all, it was poured literally OF
flesh, fish, game and fowl and hundreds
of messes, each of which contained from
q dozen to fifty ingredients.
And now, at the risk of destroying
somebody's appetite for his single square
meal of the week, on the Sabbath day
a description of the method Of preparing
this famous Roman condiment, withou
which no meal was a square one in tn
sense of being satisfactory.
''This exquisite condiment,' says on
high authority, was obtained from thu
intestines, gills and blood of fishes
great and small, stirred together will
salt, and exposed in an open vat to tn
sun until the compound was putrid
Nothing is known as to the proportion
of the several piscine ingredients; blu
while small fishes were thrown who'll
into the vessel, the large fshes-such a
} funny, sturgeon and mackerel-con
tributed nothing to the mess save thei
gills, internal parts and juices. Whel
putrefaction had done its work wine an
spice herbs were added to the liques
cent garbage. Finally the liquor G
this toothsome compound was straine
and sent from Greece to the Roma
market"
If there is anything in modern cook
eyy that nearly approaches the infamou
compound above described as the indis
pensable adjunct of the square meal c
Che ancient Romans, certainly it is nc
described in any of the thousand an
= one cook books, the attempt to folio
which has brought discomfort and dis
appointment to so many an otherwis
sensible American housewife.

HARPER's FERRY, Nov. IS, 1886.
Editor Spirit :--Election day passed
away quietly and the Democrats are
.jubilant over its results. Hon. VIM.
II. Wilson'S speech at Bolivar, on the
night preceding the election, was
well received by a large and enthu-
siastic audience. Many of our peo-
pie had never heard him speak, and
their anticipation was great. While
here Mr.. w. was the cynosure of all
eyes. A juvenile Democrat wishes
to know
If the could be Congressman Flick
Doesn't feel really sick.
If the Reps. grievc over his detection,
While the Dems. smile over the election.
Rev. Dyott, pastor of NJ. p.
church, is holding a revival in that
church. So far the attendance has
been large, and a number of CONVEX
sions have resulted.
Several of the purchasers of the
Harper's Ferry government property
were here last week, surveying and
looking after their property. 1t is
said to be their intention to begin in
the spring the erection of buildings
for the manufacture of paper, end
for that purpose they are now making
preparations. A party of men, I'M
der direction of Messrs. Macarthur
and Murphy. are employed in making
a coffer-dam near Shenandoah city,
about one mile from Harper's Ferry,
preparatory to cleaning and making
deeper the bed of the canal, thereby
increasing the water-power. Many
of III. F.'s people had nearly de-
SPARED of it ever awakening to busy
life, but now tile outlook is fairly
good, their withered hopes are some
what revived, and there is every
reason to think II. F. will soon re-
cover from it's war prostration. We
think its star is in the ascendancy,
and trust ere long it will be able to
crow over its sister towns for energy
and enterprise.
