A Filibustering Expedition.

Gen. Lopez, with 400 men, sailed from New
Orleans for Cuba on board the steamer Pam
pero, Aug. 2, 1851. The force consisted chiefly
Of Americans, but embraced forty-nine Gu
bans in its ranks, with several German and
Hungarian officers. Among the latter was
Gen. Pragay, one of the heroes of the Hun
garian revolution, and he was second in COM
mand to Lopez on this occasion. The party
landed at Cabanas, at midnight, between the
18th and 18th of August. Crittenden, Kerr
and eighty men became separated from the
main body and attempted to leave the island
in launches, but were captured by Spanish
man of war. They were taken to Havana
and shot at the castle of Ataros, on the
morning of Aug. IA. Lopez was garroted

The Right Author.

The poem called "There Is No Deathn was
written by j. L. McCreary, of Washington,
D. c., formerly of the editorial staff of The
Dubuque Times. One E. Bulmer stole the
poem outright and published it in The Farm
ers' Advocate, Chicago. In copying it some
paper, naturally supposing the ''m" to be a
typographical error, accredited it to Bulwer,
and SO it has gone around the world. The
Harpers, at the request Of the author, wrote
to "Owen Meredith" concerning the author
ship of the poem. He responded that it was
not among his fathers works, published or
unpublished, and the Harpers promised to
give credit to the author in any subsequent
edition of their series of "Readers" in which
it was originally accredited to Bulwer. The
original poem contains sixteen verses.

A strawberry Jelly Dessert.

Ono OF the most delicious methods Of serv.
Ing Strawberries, according TO an adept In
good housekeeping, Is with gelatine and
whipped cream. Directions for plain jelly
accompany each box of gelatine. When the
Jelly Is made, but not stiffened, pour por.
ton OF 1t into smooth, deep bowl with
few berries, Place this on ice and when it Is
hard, pour In more liquid aud berries, place
ON the leo and proceed as before, until all the
jelly Is used. Cooling by layers is the only
way In which the jelly will be distributed
evenly through the mass. ANY fruit may be
used In this way. When ready to serve,
turn out Oh platter and garnish with
whipped cream with vanilla for Aavoring.
This makes palatable and very ornamental
dessert.

Delicious Ice Creams.

Among all delicious ice creams none ex-
coed in delicacy that prepared with candied
fruits Candied apricots, cherries and pine
apple, cut fine and soaked in sherry wine,
give, when added to plain cream, a flavor
unsurpassed.
The best cake that can be served with ice
cream is sponge cake, being neither too rich
nor pronounced in flavor.
To many tastes, plain cream, sweetened,
favored and frozen, is the finest ice cream,
as it is the simplest. Many eggs and much
corn starch give custard which, frozen, is
very inferior to the pure cream.

Peters Pence.

According to tradition, Peter pence, or
Peters pence, were first presented to the pope
or bishop of Rome by Ina, king of the West
Saxons, about the year 1925 A. D. It was
the result of a collection taken at the mass
on St Peters day, Aug. l, and was devoted
to the establishment of Saxon college at
Rome. 1t was then made tax of one penny
on each family possessed of thirty pence
yearly rent in land. iii England it lasted
down to 1884, when Henry VIII abolished it,
The term is now applied to any general vol
untary contribution in behalf of the pope.
In 1850 he received $2,0OO,0OO.

Election of President.

The person having the greatest number of
votes for president is duly elected, if such
number be a majority of the whole number
of electors appointed. If no person has such
majority, then, from the persons having the
highest number, not exceeding three in the
list of those voted for. the house OF repre-
sentatives shall choose Immediately, and by
ballot, the president. Should they neglect to
do this before the 4Jh of March following,
then the vice president shall act as president,
as he would in case of the death or other con-
stitutional disability of the president

it when a person gives certain per cent

"To Write a Pretty Note"

Ruled paper is never used for notes or cor
respondence. It is considered inelegant and
questionable.
Square cards are~employed for giving or
answering invitations, and the square envel-
ope, sealed with wax, Of course accompanies
them.
Authorizations are almost entirely avoided
in ceremonious notes, as they SAVIOR of haste,
and are hardly respectful.
With fortunate few "to write pretty
note" seems to be somewhat of gift, while
others find it hard task The latter will be
helped by approaching the duty in business
like manner.

exactly what meaning you want to convey;

your thoughts intelligibly, briefly and grace

How to Make an Ice POultice.

The following way of making the ice
poultice, that is SO valuable in fevers, is adj
vised by Technics: Spread layer Of linseed
meal three-fourths of an inch deep ON cloth
of proper size, and put pieces Of ice the size
Of marble on the meal at intervals Of an
inch; then sprinkle lightly with the meal;
cover with cloth, and turn over the edges;
apply the thick surface to the skin. The
meal protects the skin and excludes the air
from the ice, thus preventing melting.
