BaZaine'S Last DAYS.
From the New York Post.


One of the few persons who saw Mar
shal Bazaine in his latter days desert es
in letter TO the Figaro, his last end,
which was certain y--even If he were
guilty of everything charged against
him-pathetic enough, in all conscience.
He married young and pretty MeXi-
can before his downfall, and she assist
ed him with great devotion In making
his escape from the fortress in which he
was confined, and they settled in Mad
rid. At that time they apparently had
some money, and she for while
dressed well, went into society, and they
entertained. But as the years went by
their resources began to fail. They
moved from one lodging to another,
each time to a cheaper one, and saw
fewer and fewer people. Finally his
wife left him for good, and returned to
Mexico, taking one of their two children
with her, and the poor old fellow moved
into a mere halt-furnished garrett, with
out other attendant than his son, a non
commissioned officer in the Spanish
army, on whose scanty pay he lived.
One of the strange sights in Madrid
during the past year was the eX-marshaI
tot'ering to the market in the morning.
and bringing home under MS arm the
brown paper parcel containing the meat
and vegetables for his dinner. He died
finally, quite alone in his garrett, and
was carried to the grave in a cheap cof-
fin, followed only by his son and halt a
dozen other persons. The myth OF Bel
isarius and his obolus is hardly so strik-
ing an illustration of the vanity Of hui
man greatness as this. Bazai;.e was
really no more a traitor than a score Of
others, but he had the ill-luck to sur
render more men and guns to the enc

HOUSEWIFE ELY MATTERS
NICE PUDDING.


Four eggs beaten separately, one tea
cupful of flour one tcaspoOnful OF cream
of tartar mixed with the flour when 1t
is sifted, half a teaspoonful of soda dis
solved in little water; bake quickly in
biscuit pan; turn out on damp cloth;
put LAYER Cf sauce over the whole sur
face and roll mp warm.
AsPIC JELLY.
\ jelly may be made of the bones Of
the turkey and chicken used III boned
TURKEY by covering them with wafer
and boiling them SLOWLY till the liquor
is reduced to a gelatinous mass. This
will require some time, ana the Jelly
must be covered with caramel to give
the beautiful amber-colored aspic used
bv French cooks. 1t is easier to make
a Jelly with brown beef stock and gela-
tine.
DREAMED GOLDFISH.
To make cream of cod remove the
skin and bones from the boiled fish and
rub through a fine sieve. Rub together
two tab.espoOnfuls each of butter and
flour over the fire, stirring until smooth
and free from Jumps. Add gradually
one quart each of milk aud water, both
boiling. Put in one cup ul Of the pre-
pared fish, seasoning with grated nut
for two minutes.
POTATO GEMS.
\ good way to make potato gems isto
work one cup Of cold mashed potato
smooth into one cupful of sweet milk.
Stir in one cupful of corn meal or
enough to make batter which will drop
easily from spoon, with a pinch of salt,
and add one well-beaten egg. Beat
briskly three or four minutes, then put
into well-buttered gem pans and bake
twenty minutes 30 half an hour with
steady but not too hot fire.
MUFFINS.
Two cups of fine, dry crumbs, two
heaping tablespoons of flour, two cups
of boiling milk, two beaten eggs, one
cup of boiling water, half teaspOOnful
of salt, one tablespoon of butter; pour
the boiling salt water on the crumbs, let
them stand covered for half an hour,
drain off the liquid without pressing the
crumbs, and beat IL the -four, add the
butter to the hot milk and put in next,
beat until nearly lukewarm, and then
put in the eggs. Bake in muffin rings.
SYRUP or CHERRIES.
Procure some fine ripe cherries, take
off the stalks; crush the fruit and leave
them in this state for twenty-iour hours.
Then strain the Juice through sieve by
squeezing the cherries, and afterwards
through jelly bag. When the liquor
is very clear weigh it, and in pint Of
juice dissolve two pounds ofwhIte sugar;
then put it into preserving pan; boil
up once, and take off the scum; strain it
and put it into small bottles.
INDIAN MEAL CRUEL.
Wet two tablespoonfuis of the meal to
a smooth paste with cold water. and
stir it into one pint of boiling water.
Let this boil half an hour, and
stir occasionally, as it burns readily. II
it becomes too thick, add water.
Seasoned with salt, sugar, lemon juice
and grated nutmeg it becomes quite de-
licious. 1t is still further improved 10y
the addition of a tiny piece of butter, if
this is not forbidden.
