HOW TO COOK OYSTERS.
A Recipe That Will Make the
Mouth Water,

Everybody loves the oyster; who does
net: And most us love them fried.
But a perfectly fried oyster is a beside
ratum. All want to know the very best
way to cook them and we propose to
tell them how. In his last visit to New
York Capt. Atkinson stopped at the st.
DeuiS Hotel. The fare all around was
good. But there was something about
the fried oysters that caught him. 1t
was Il new sensation, the realization Of
a gastrOnOnlic dream. He ate and ate
and ate again, and each time the wonder
and the pleasure grew, until he was fixed
to the st. Denis by a charm he could
hardly break. But the parting had to
come, and he returned home, but with
dreams ofthe st. Denis oysters floating
in his waking and his nightly visions.
He became restless and unhappy until, to
restore his peace of mind, he wrote to the
proprietor ofthat famous house for the
mysterious recipe. Here it is all may he
made happy:
Mr. Matt Atkinson, Asheville, n. c.
Dear Sir:-ln reply to yours Of the I'd,
| will say that the way that oysters are
prepared for frying is first, to have them
fresh opened, then draw the liquor off by
placing the oysters i'll Il Colendar; next
lay them on a cloth and place another
cloth over them press the cloth lightly,
so that the cloth will absorb all the
liquor that may be in them; next dip
in Siltcd flour; do not allow much of the
flour to stick to them; next dip them in
eggs; finally lay them in ground biscuit
dust tor if you do not have this use
bread crumbs the bread having been
dried to a crisp before being ground into
dustl and cover them with the biscuit
dust and press them lightly to make the
biscuit dust adhere to the oysters. To
cook them, use either good lard or sweet
buttcr-a small quantity is sufficient. See
that the pan is hot and free from water;
when that is reached, put i'll the oyster
fiat i'll the pan and let it cook for about
a minute, then turn them over; if this is
done with fork do not allow the fork
to penetrate the oyster; then let them
cook on the other side. The oyster
should be nice brown color, and will
be stiff when cooked. If not cooked
enough or over cooked they are likely to
he soft.

NOT SO VERY DAMP.
He Hasn't been in AsheviiIe, Ger
taiIIlS.

The Rev. RObt McCartec addresses a
letter to the Rev. L. 2. Davis, Of Win
ston, n. c., published in the Twin City
Daily, in which he advocates that town
as a superior winter resort. We have
not the slightest objection to that. Win
ston deserves all that can be said Of it..
1t is beautiful, it is healthtul, and
abounds in convcnicnces that give the
Soiourncr all that could be desired. We
would willingly give our aid ifit were
needed, to advocate its claim. 1t is a
North Carolina town, and that is enough
to engage our interest. But Mr.. Me
Cartce has no occasion in fostering Win
ston to disparage Ashevillc He says:
As you are aware, Ashcvilc, in North
Carolina, is now an established and lav-
Orite resort i'll the winter as well as in
the summer. But its altitude, 2,2OO
feet, and environments Of lofty noun
tains and its clay soil cause much damp
and miry streets and roads. which deter
many from going there.
Now, if there is anything well known
to health scientists abroad, as well as to
the people of Ashcvile themselves, it is
its peculiar dry atmospheric conditions.
Evaporation is phenomcnally rapid.
True, when it rains it is muddy, and the
streets and the roads become muddy OF
course, like Winston or any other place
having clay in its soil But there is no
damp" such as the writer suggests
and the "cnvironmcnt of lofty noun
tanS" docs not close around us AND hem
us in and stihc us or exclude the free cir
culation of air or shut out the light OF
the sun or involve us in gloom, or even
deter many from coming here. No; they
do come and continue to come, even
though they do encounter sometimes
perhaps oftener than is pleasant, muddy
streets and muddy roads. But mean
while we keep on mcnding our ways
Let Mr.. McCartee give us a call.

1t is to be hoped that the work, which
has been so successfully inauguratcd by
this society, will not fall through for
lack Of means, and every one should feel
bound to contribute to this cause, and
should strive to advance and promote it's
efforts to educate the children. between
three and eight, who are too young to
receive instruction in any other way.

day in the Mayors office, attractcl much
attention; every body who felt anintercst
i'll This important subject, went to see it,
and the big gong was kept ringing con,
tinuouSly. Mr. Clark, the courteous
agent Of the Gamcwell Company, showed
hi nsclt thoroughly au Eait as to the
working of the system, and we were
impressed with the perfection of its
operation. It's absolute simplicity is its
great charm. No one, however excited,
can fail to manage it correctly. lfhe or
she has only enough presence Of mind to
unlock the box and pull down hook
once, the wires will do all the rest, and
after pulling it once, it matters not if the
alarmist continues the performance all
of the box is instantly presented on the
indicator at the engine house, and every

most distant station at once strikes the
number OF the box at which the alarm is
turned in
Another good feature is the security
against false or malicious alarms
Every KEY is numbered, and when the
box is opened the key cannot he removed
from the lock until released by a proper
officer, therefore it can at once be seen
who is responsible for each alarm that is
given.
We hope and believe that the Board OF
Aldermen will take steps forthwith to
supply this urgent need, if their finances
are at all in a condition to bear the eX-
pcnSc. a delay of five minutes i'll reach

IN A TIGHT PLACE.
The Postmaster General Breaks
His Word with a u. =. Senator.

humiliatIng position is that i'll which
the Postmaster General, MI. Wanna.
maker, has been placed by Senator Wade
Hampton i'll his exposure of gross
breach of faith. p. F. Clayton, two
weeks ago, was appointed postmaster
at Columbia, S. c., vice w. H. Gibhes
removed This latter gentleman
term expired in February, and Mr.
Wanamaker had promised Gen
Hampton that he should be retained
until the end of his term, or at least
until General H. was notified of any
earlier proposed action. The latter gen,
tleman made visit to Mississippi, and
no sooner was his back turned than
Gibbes was appointed. This drew forth
the following letter:
GLEN ALLEN. Miss, November 8, 80.
To Honorable John Wanamaker:
Sir: The inclosed extract from Souti
Carolina paper has caused me great sur
prise. Perhaps you may remember, il
NGutmcmory is not treaCherOuS, vour
assurance to me few days ago that Mr..
GibbrS should not be removed until the
expiration OF his term in February next.
Not only did YOU do this, but you volun-
tarily assured me that inasmuch as
Columbia was my pnstoiiicc you would,
when a successor to Mr.. Gibbcs was to
he appointed, consult me.
1t is matter of small importance to
nc who takes the place of Mr.. Gibbcs
but as informed him ii passing through
Columbia of the promise you had made,
YOU may perhaps understand how your
action has placed me i'll a false position.
But it is fortunate for me that Mr..
Gibbes will know that at least told
him the truth, though was previously
deceived in believing what was said to
me. shall know better in future what
reliance to place on statements cmana-
ting from the same source.
The newspapers state that besides
managing the great department over
which you preside, you are running Il
Sunday school i'll Philadelphia; and it
occurs to me that YOU might with profit
to Yourself select as the most appro-
pirate subject of Il lecture to your pupils
the instructive story of Anamas and
Sapphira. This would give you a fine
field for your eloquence in explaining to
your Young charges the Importance OF
contiuing themselves to the truth-eX-
Ccpt when some tanCicd advantage might
be obtained over a political opponent,

blush gray color. 1t is taken from a

is that when it is taken out otthe quarry
it is so soft that it can be sawed with a

Farinholt has in his office was cut out in
this way. But after the stone has been

becomes as hard as granite. The stone
