HISTORY. OF mE CREAM.

Some che who has been hunting up the
history of ice cream says that pyramids
of red and white ice cream with punch
and liquors were served by Mrs John
son, OF New York, at ball given by her
on Dec. l., 1855
Mrs Alexander Hamilton is said to
have introduced ice cream In Washington,
and it was always afterward delight to
her TO tell how President Jackson had
no sooner tasted it than he declared that
in the future it should form a part of the
White house menu. Guests at the next
social function at the executive mansion
are said TO have tasted very gingerlv the
frozen mystery. Those especially from
the rural districts eyed it with especial
suspicion, and melted each spoonful care
fully before swallowing it.
At Mrs. Hamilton's suggestion a negro
by the name of Jackson. who kent a
confectionery store III Washington at the
time, filled quart cans with custard and
mbedded them in tubs of ice. These he
sold for 81 each. Others followed him
but he retained the reputation of making,
the best ice cream, and became rich as
a result. 1t came to be- hawked about
the streets like the present hokv poky
