BADEAU SUES MRS. GRANT.
He Says He Is the Author of the Generals
Memoirs.

Memoirs.
NEW YORK, March 17.-If the suit brought
by General Adam Bsdeaa against the widow
of General Grant comes TO trial, there will
probably be some testimony offered by the
members of the Grant family that will
cause a sensation. General Badeau's suit
is for compensation for services which he
rendered in the preparation of the Generals 5
memoirs. The complaint was served a
little over week ago. The answer TO the
complaint will be served within a week
General Bldeau asserts among other
things, that he is part author of General
Grants memoirs. Jt is not true that he
demands $4,000. He does not name any
sum. but asks for a general accounting un-
der an agreement with General Grant
Colonel Fred Grant said II was true that
General Badesu had brought suit. He
went on: General Badeau was employed
by my father 10 come TO the house and act
ss amanuensis. His work was to copy or
correct matter written 0y my father and
prepare II for the printer. He was also to
correct the proofs and do work Of that kind.
An agreement was maze by my father 10
give General Bsdesu certain amount, not
TO exceed $40 0O0. if be would do tae work
a3d attend to all tie drudgerT Bntil the
work was compile !. Ny father also
thought that ne migal die before the COM
pletion Of the memoirs. and that General
Badeau. in conjunction with myself. would
finish them.
Sometime after General Badeau came 70
our house ne wrote letter complsininz
bitterly TO my father OF the fact that his
work was the merest kind OF 0ruigery. sBd

CONCERNING SPICES.

We frequently sing of the "spicy
breezes" which elbow soft DER Ceylon's
Isle," but very small proportion Of the
spices Of commerce are grown on that
island. Brown nutmegs come from PEN
ang in the West Indies. They are the
best in market and are full of oil. Most
of the nutmegs used have this oil re-
moved and are then rolled in lime to
cover up their defects. Our best cloves
come also from Penang and are sun dried;
an inferior quality come from Zanzibar
and are dried by artificial heat. Pimento
or allspice and the best ginger come from
Jamaica. The latter is bleached to make
it white. Poorer qualities of ginger are
from Borneo and Africa. Cinnamon,
which is from Oelyon, is worth one dol
lar pound. There is but little Of this
used, and the most of that which is called
cinnamon is properly cassis, or the out
side bark of the cinnamon tree. The
best quality of pepper is called "shot" pep
per on account Of being in large grains;
the second grade is the article in general
use, and both kinds reach us from Sing
apore. The best red pepper is grown in
Natal, while the common kinds are from
Zanzibar. White pepper is simply the
kernel with the shell removed. Char
coal, buckwheat and other substances
are used to adulterate spices.

SERPENT WOMEN.

In the early Egyptian hierogylyphics
we find representations Of snakes bodies
crowned by female heads; and, indeed,
this class of serpents seems to have prov
ed equally attractive to all nations, as evil
dence of which subtle fascination is that
the legends of the "snake maidens" still
live in the nursery tales of to-day, peren-
nially young and beautiful as though
their birth were not wrapped in the mys-
ferries of prehistoric age. OF this fam
lily came Larnia, the witch of Crete,
whose woman's heart rendered her doub-
ly sensitive to the degradation she sut-
fered during her incarceration within her
scaly prison; nor did she, on renewing
the pristine glory of her human form,
completely lose the essence of her serpent
nature. Harmonic, the wife of Cadmus,
to be a fitting companion in her hus-
bands misfortunes, also took upon her
self the serpent's shape, but beng de-
void of evil intent never, it is said, shun-
ned, but rather sought mans presence.
Perhaps it is but another form of the
classic Harmonic which has become ia
miliar to us under the name of the fairy
Gentills, who, in an adder's shape. sought
refuge with Prince Leander from the
vengeance of the irate gardeners, but at
the end of several days dropped her scaly
mantle, and. arrsyed in supernatural
charms, munifcently rewarded her pro-
tector. In some of the latter accounts of
Melusina she is cited as member Of this
sisterhood. Jene D'Arras represents her
as serpent 'ensmeled blue and white;"
thus also did she present herself to the
commander of Lusignan, fortress which
she erected in the early days of her we'd
ded happiness. If there be any who won
der that this union of serpent and wo-
man should have proved attractive to
our ancestors, might not the sinuous
grace and enigmstical character of our
own Elsie Venner plead eloquently for
the charms of her myth-b orn sisters.

THE ROYAL DEAD OF SPAIN.


All the dead kings of Spain are gather
ed beneath one roof. Whatever revolu-
tions may have shaken the throne, it
never occurred to the widest fanatic to
disturb the royal dead. For one thing
they lay far away from the capital. The
Palace of the Escurial stands in the heart
OF large and dreary plain. In the heart
of the monster palace rises the dome of
spacious church, and beneath the center
of this again, deep Town in the bowels of
the earth, we find the gloomy death-cham-
Der devised by Philip of Spain. Philip
H., bigot and ascetic, for months lay
dying Of loathsome disease in den not
much larger than a railway carriage. No
light could enter, save from small open
ing into the church whence, from his bed
he could look upon the altar and the
golden monument of his father kneeling
with all his wives and children, curious
life-size group, in recess like the royal
box at theater on its further side. Here,
in semi-darkness, lay the king, meditst-
ing on death. and {while notifying his
body with ostentatious humility franz
ing those exclusive regulations which
were to be observed with regard to the
royal sepulchre. None other than the
actual monsrchs of Spain were to have
place within those walls. No queen con-
sort, however beloved, might lie there
beside her lord (unlesa, indeed, she should
have been 80 highly favored as to have
given birth to king) All other queens,
princes and royalties whatsoever we're
laid in the "pudridero" literally, decay
ing place.. A long, dark, precipitous
stairway leads down to the vault of kings
The fash of our descending torches
showed that the walls were of costly mar
BILE, but no ray of wholesome daylight
ever could reach that gruesome place. No
lamp was there to Tighten but little the
sense of death-like gloom. Each wall
of the octagonal chamber was deeply re-
cessed, and fitted like bookcase, except
that the shelves were further apart, and
also of marble. Each shelf supported a
heavy sarcophsgus of the ford tea caddy
order-all black and all exactly alike, ex-
cept as regards the pompous inscriptions,
which, in the darkness, were difficult to
decipher. Thus on all sides from the
floor to the roof the vault was lined with
kings. But few of the ssrcophagi re-
NAMED unoccupied, and when these are
filed, says Spanish tradition, the mon
archy will come to an end. Ferdinand
and Isabella, the founders of that mon
srchy, lie buried in fair Granada, and
fifty SO, since the conquest of that city
(the last stronghold of the detested Moor
had been for many and many year the
chief aim and object OF their lives.

FOUR GOOD DISHES.

Chicken Hdsh.-Mince cold roast or
boiled chicken, but not very fine, and to
cupful of meat add two tablespoonfuls
OF good butter, half cup Of milk
enough minced onions to give slight
flavor, and salt, pepper and mace to taste.
Stew it, taking care TO stir it; and serve
daintily with a garnish of parsley. Every
particle of bone must be subtracted.
Apple SnotU.-Peal and quarter half q
dozen apples; stew with little water,
the rind of lemon, and little sugar.
When quite soft, remove the rind, and
strain the apples through fine sieve
Beat the whites of four eggs to stiff
froth, with powdered sugar; gradually
add the strained apple, and beat till of
consistency of whipped cream. Heap
upon dish in pyramid form and gar
nish with lady fingers.
Potato Croquettes.-Pare, boil, and
mash smoothly about six good-sized po-
tatoes. Add one tablespoon of butter,
two-thirds of cupful OF hot, rich milk
or cream, the whites of two eggs well
beaten, salt and pepper to taste. When
cool enough to handle, work in shape,
roll in egg and bread crumbs, and fry in
nice, wholesome hot lard.
Rice Croquettes.-Thoroughly wash
half pint Of rice; boil it in pint of
milk thirty minutes; whip into the hot
rice two ounces Of butter, two ounces Of
sugar, salt and the yolks of two eggs. II
the batter is too stiff add little more
milk. When cold roll it into neat balls
or cones, dip them in beaten egg, roll in
fine bread or cracker crumbs, and fry as
you would doughnuts.

PROVING HIS IDENTITY.

Nathaniel Hawthorne was kind-heart-
ed man as well as great novelist. While
he was consul at Liverpool young Yam
kee walked into his Office. The boy had
left home to seek his fortune, but evil
IDENTIFY hadn't found it yet, although he
had crossed the sea IN the search. Home
sick, friendless, nearly penniless, he
wanted a passage home. The clerk said
Mr.. Hawthorne could not be seen, and in
timated that the boy was no American,
but was trying to steal passage
The boy stuck to his point, and the
clerk at last went to the inner room and
said to Mr.. Hawthorne.
"Here's boy insists upon seeing you.
He says he's an American, but know
he isn't"
Hawthorne came out of his room and
looked keenly at the eager. rudy face
Of the boy.
"You want passage to America ?"

"And you say you're an American ?"
LES, BIZ
"From what part of America ?"
"United States, sir. +"
"What State 2"
"New Hampshire, sir.
"Town?"
exeter, sir. j"
Hawthorne looked at him for minute
before asking the next question.
"Who sold the best apples in your
town ?"
"Skim- milk Folsom, sir" said the boy,
with glistening eyes. as the old familiar
by-word brought up the dear old scenes
of home.
"Ifs all right" said Hawthorne to the
clerk, "give him passage"
