NEW CHEESE DELICACY
CALLED LADIoTHE AND MANUFACTURED
FROM GOATS MILK.

Entering ffrst-cIass fancy grocery
store in any of our large cities. one
would imagine that Americans enjoy
ed pretty near everything on earth in
the way Of things good to eat. Cheese
from Switzerland, fruit from Cape
Colony, wine from California. In fact,
there appears to be hardly a spot on
earth that does not contribute some
good thing with which to tickle ones
appetite. Yet in letter just received
at the State Department, Consul Geo.
H. Jackson, of La Rochelle, France.
tells Of at least one thing which has
never been seen in this country, much
less eaten. This new delicacy is lam
the cheese, speaking OF which he says:
"LamOthe cheese is unknown in the
United States. It is manufactured
from goats milk in such a manner as
to eliminate the disagreeabIe taste
usually found in goats milk cheese.
The body is rich, firm, white, and of
very fine grain. This cheese is esteem
ed very highly by the gourmets. Be
ing dry, it should improve by. the voy-
age of ten or twelve days to the United
States"

TROUBLE IN THE CHURCH.

Rev Simon P. Drew, D. D., of Bos-
ton, Mass, who has created such a
sensation at the Metropolitan Baptist
Church. by his revival and evangelical
preaching, is having a little trouble
with his flock, or rather with his
trustees. 1t seems that a number of
the trustees and deacons favor the
retention Of Rev. Drew, while a very
active minority has taken the matter
to the court and secured an Injunction.
prohibiting the Rev. Drew from again
entering the church There is much
talk pro and con and it is hoped by
The friends of the church that the
matter will be settled amicably.
