To Serve an Oyster Cocktail.

Charles Ranhofer, the celebrated
chef of Delmonico's, declared until the
last days of his life that there was
nothing. absolutely nothing, new in
the culinary art; that no new dishes
had been invented in fifty years; that
the so-called new dishes were only old
ones revived. Although the oyster
cocktail was introduced in the chop
houses Of New York about two years
before Mr. Ranhofer's death he never
included II in his list of dishes, and
as his book was published before oys-
ters were served in this way, he does
not mention the cocktail. Really, II Is
only the fact of serving the oysters in
a glass which gives the name to a Ger
tain way of seasoning raw oysters
known for years among oyster deal
ers along the Chesapeake shore and
even at the stalls in the New York
oyster market This is the way to
prepare an oyster cocktail: Put seven
medium-sized, freshly opened oysters
in a tall, slender glass. Mix in a bowl
three teaspoonfuls of tomato catsup. a
teaspoonful of horse radish in white
vinegar, four dashes OF Tobasco sauce,
a tablespoonful of Worcestershire
sauce and saltspoonful of salt. When
those ingredients are well stirred to-
gether pour the mixture in the glass
over the oysters and servo.-New York

Lord Salisbury's condition OF health
is a subject of the closest interest in
every chancellerie of Europe. For
many years his devotion to work and
neglect of exercise tended TO accumu-
late physical troubles which are diff
cult to shake off in the evening of life
A visitor at Hatfield, when Lord Sails
bury was still foreign secretary, des-
cribes the life led by his host as one
of continued and unrestricted toll, re-
lieved only by conversation with his
guests and his family during meals.
Salisbury would come to luncheon
which would occupy about three-quar-
ters of an hour. He would leave the
table and return Immediately to his
desk, and with the interval of a few
minutes would work straight on til
dinner time. At dinner he would de-
light the company with the brilliancy
of his conversation. but Immediately
after dinner he would return to his
desk and work until II or 1890. Few
business men or lawyers have toiled
at the desk with more persistency OF
concentration of purpose than the
present premier. His only fault as an
administrator has been the inability to
delegate to others the most triling
duties. He has been in the habit of
answering with his own hand letters
of little Importance written by people
who have no claim upon him. The
consequence of this patriotic devotion
to duty has been premature old age.
The actual burden OF letter writing
now resting upon Lord Salisbury is
lighter than at any period during his
previous tenure of office.-London Ex-
press.

AMONG TIE TOILERS,

A king built mighty city;
It's streets were filed with groans,
For n million slaves had given their
lives
TO pile the heavy stones
bUt the king looked on, well satisfied:
My fame shall stand for aye.
Firu as the towers and the walls
That ! have laid today.
NO power ON earth can throw them
down."
With naughty air he cried:
But the lit'le grasses at his feet
They laul he'd at his kingly pride.
oh. whore is the mighty city?
And where are its towers SO brave?
Above their ruined. sunken heaps
The tender grasses wave.
And whore is the mighty monarch?
And where is his kingly fame
The grasses wave above his grave,
And no one knows his name.

Ru sian colonlst, for Georgia.

Il am just from business trip to
Kew York and | am elated and happy
over the magnificent promise of de-
volopment that seems In store in the
immediate future for the southern sec
tion OF my state" said Mr.. Edwin
Brobston of Brunswick, Ga, TO the
Washington Times.
Ours is a region that has been
greatly overlooked. but its rich nat
ural resources could not be forever
ignored, and we are about to get the
first instalment of colonists from
southern Russia. This is an enterprise
in which the southern railway has
taken the leading part. The coast
country of Georgia is magnificently
adapted to growing early fruits and
vegetables for the large markets OF the
north. We are from fourteen to twen-
ty-one days ahead of Norfolk in the
production of berries, melons, toma-
toes, potatoes and the like, and our
products come In right after the first
shipments of like things from Florida.
Our Russian immigrants will 20 to

and 10000 acres of land contiguous

other great project from which we
hope much is the line OF steamships
that will ply between European ports
and Brunswick and Savannah. This
line is for the purpose of carrying
across the Atlantic in cold storage all
kinds of food supplies that the farm
ers OF the coast region raise. Sir
Thomas Upton is one of the promot-
ers and is heavily interested. The in
tention is to establish depots and re-
frigerating plants near the seaboard
towns and to invite producers of a
big adjacent territory to bring in
everything they make on their farms.

and all the funds necessary to operate
the business have been subscribed by

Some stories OF tho Present Archbishop
of Canterbury.
Many are the stories of the courage
and wit shown by the present arch
bishop Of Canterbury, DIR. Temple, in
combating the attacks of the extreme
high churchmen which followed the
publication of his "Essays and Re
views" When he was nominated as
bishop OF Exeter a writer in one OF
the Devon papers gave expression TO
the view that "the Tories dislikcd DIR.

one church newspaper said in an edi-
torial jeremiad: And so, on that

height the animosity had run. DR..

black hair and whiskers and the white

in his stiffness a sad plight for a

agitation exposed him to criticism
from another source. He enjoys tell
ing this story: In the west of England
he one afternoon spoke at an agricul-
tural soclety's meeting-a kind OF oc-
casion at which he was eminently at
home from his knowledge of farming.
But he could not miss the opportunity
OF giving some temperance hints and
advice. He remarked, with his accus-
toned grim humor, that "he himself
had never been drunk in his life"

rels of salt, equivalent to 1,17S,355
bushels, nearly all of which was made
by solar evaporation. In the making
OF salt by solar evaporation the pumps
are started each year about the month
OF March, the brine being pumped into
large reservoirs, each covering from
ten to twenty acres. As the brine be-
comes stronger II is drawn OFF into
other reservoirs or sloughs covering
from three to fifteen acres. Sloughs
are made with a hard clay bottom and
with levee thrown up three or four
feet high around the sides TO retain
the brine and at the same time furnish
ditch on the outside to carry off
fresh water. The sloughs are replen-
ished from time to time duri:g the
summer, the reservoirs being kept
stocked until September or October.

bank retained the greater part of the
money, but some of It was in such con

about 40 years old, refused to make

simplicity" He illustrated thus in an OH
hand way by citing the cumbrousness OIL

same mechanism highly improved was
practically devoid OF non-essertals- Inc
essence Of Improvement then is simpilK-

Richmond Becoming important Port for
lmportations.
With the appointment of an appraiser
for the Richmond port, which is expected
some time this week, the Government
will establish here an enlarged ware
house for the storing of large importa-
lions which are now coming to Rich
mond, where in the past they have been
handled through the New York or Bal
timore ports. This warehouse will be a
great advantage to local dealers, as well
as firms and corporations doing business
in other cities of the South, which are
directing their foreign shipments sent
to Richmond.
The location of the warehouse has not
been determined. It is considered a
great stride for Richmond in this direc-
ton.
Collections for the past week at the
Richmond port have broken all records
in the history of the office
Duties upon inportations have amount.
ed to over $4,000 for the week. The bulk
of the entries have been imported to-
bacco assigned to the American To-
bacco Company, while at the same time
there have been large importations of
iron and general merchandise.
