SWEETBREADS.

Said a maid to me once: "Indeed,
mem, niver see sich another as yersil'
for cookin' wild things and innards!'
The "wild things'' to which she re-
ferred were quail, woodcock and hare,
while the "innards'' of which she spoke
with such scorn were sweetbreads, kid
neys and brains. l may remark, en-
PEASANT, that the lower classes seldom
do like those viands most priced by the
epicure, and the cooking of them, to be
done properly, must be performed by
the mistress the maid, unless the
latter be an accomplished cook.
BRoILED swEETBREADS.
Wash a pair of sweetbreads, throw
them in boiling salted water and cook
for ten minutes. Drain, and lay in iced
water until thoroughly cold. This pro-
cess is called "blanching' the sweet
breads, and should be done as soon as
the perishable dainties are brought
home from the butchers. Wipe them
dry, rub with butter and broil them
over a clear fire. Watch them that
they do not scorch. When done, put
them on a hot dish, pour little melted
butter over them, sprinkle lightly with
salt and and pepper, and serve.
FRIED SWEETBREADS.
Blanch, and split each sweetbread in
half, lengthwise. Dip in beaten egg.
roll in cracker crumbs and set in cold
place for this coating to harden. AT
the end of an hour fry in deep fat.
ROASTED SwEETBREADS.
Blanch the sweetbreads With "a
sharp skewer make holes through them
and run through these openings narrow
strips of salt pork. Let the bits of pork
project half an inch on each side. Lay
the sweetbreads in covered roaster,
pour about them pint of cleared and
seasoned soup stock, cover closely and
cook for an hour, then transfer to hot
dish. Thicken the gravy in the pan,
season and pour it about the sweet
breads.
| SWEETBREAD PATTIES.
Make shells OF rich puff paste and fill
them with a mixture made according to
the following recipe:
Cut a pair of blanched sweetbreads
into small dice. Cut 10 canned mush-
rooms into quarters and mix them with
the SweetbreadS, Add blapched and
chopped almonds and olives cut to tiny
pieces. Head a cut of cream and thicken
it with teaspoonful of cornstarch rub
bed into of butter. When smooth and
thick, add the sweetbreads, olives, etc.
If too thick now, thin the mixture with
a little mushroom liquor. AS soon as
the ingredients are heated through, re-
move from the fire.

"BYGoNEs are bygones." Why GER
tainly-tbat is, to Southern gushers;
but that they are any thing else to
Northern republicans, is made plain by
the fact that the most popular Northern
republican journals, including those OF
Boston, advocate the passage of Con-
gresham Crumpacker's bill to reduce
Southern congressional representation.
Experience proves that Southern eush-
ers are usually inspired by selfish mo
tives. But it in impossible for them to
