Item for Housekekckrs.—lt gives
us pleasure to know that many of the
various Recipes published, front time to
time in onr columns, have been tried
and found to be “just the thing’’ by onr
lady readers and heads ot families.
Especial pains will be taken to publish
only such recipes as we know to be re
liable. And as the present is a favor
able season for pickling beef »« give
the following recipe therefor—and would
advise our friends to put up enough to
do them at least six mouths. Thus:
Ci.t up your beef in pieces of five to
ten pound, sprinkle salt upon it and let
it lay all night. Next morning, take ii
up and wash it in water. Fill up your
barrel with water en ~ to cover tile
beet. Put in salt till the brine will swim
an egg. Then put in the beef, with a
weight on it to keep it under the brine.
In July, pour off the brine, and boil it
for fifteen minutes; let it cool; pour it
back into the barrel, adding a pint of
salt for every five gallons of brine. Re
sult, good, firm bee I —which can be
kept so as long as you choose. Try it.
The Recorder’s Court. —Judge
Gibson bad a considerable attendance
at his Court yesterday morning, but no
cases of any very great consequence.
An 18th section case was first called:
but it wasn't much. The gentleman
went to invite a young lady to a party
and her “cruel parents,” it seems, ilidn t
like it, and there was a little fuss, but
not much in the premises. So Mr. 18th
paid a light fine and costs and was
discharged.
The next was a 29th section—abusing
some police officers because they made
the defendant’s children “cease firing”
poppers on Christmas Eve. As the
circumstances was very extenuating,
the Recorder popped a very small five,
and let him off.
The lGth section came, next in order
—keeping cellar doors open after sun
down. Three of these, the deiendants—
not tiie cellar doors —were lightly fined
and the other dismissed.
A couple of Kith section cases
encroachments on the street lines, were
dismissed; and one 17lh section case
was continued; and so the Court ad
journed.
County Court.- -The semi aanoal
session ol the County Court will be held
on Monday next, 31st iust., the same
having been adjourned over from the
first Monday in this month. Parties,
witnesses, and jurors wdll take notice.
It is thought that Hie civil docket will
be disposed of on that day. I here will
be no criminal cases tried.
Brown Wisdsor ash Honey Soap.
—Messrs. Stevenson A Shelton have
just received a quantity of the above
Soaps, slightly damaged on the surface
only. They are a genuine English ar
ticle’, and will be sold lor less in currency
than they cost in gold. From the sam
ples sent us, we should pronounce these
Soaps as excellent. .. .
The Cold Snap continues. This as
sertion, unhesitatingly made, was volun
tarily endorsed by nearly every one we
encountered out of doors, yesterday.
And, what is more remarkable, the pres
ent spell of weather perfectly accords
with the description predicted in Grier’s
Almanac— “cold and freezing”—for the
day of “Holy Inmieents.”
Personal. —We had the pleasure of
meeting, yesterday, with Judge DMge,
of the Jefferson Market Police Court,
New York city- n. Judge.'* a very
pleasant gentleman, and a Conservative
man. He lias some relatives in this
City, to whom he is on a visit. YVe
hope that his stay here will he pleasant
and agreeable.

WoSDKKKUU—It is imieed h wonder
how Dr. Bernhardt suits the worst cases
of impaired eyes with a pair of Ins
double vision glasses, that enables the
person to see perfectly natural. People
who have sought in vain for many years
for a glass which would preserve and re
store the sight, can find the long sough
for article by calling on Prof. Bernhardt
at the Planters’ Hotel.
Both IV ho no.— 'l here arc two classes
of persons win sc views, as regards the*
current order ot hum an events, arc equally
wrong: the one, who think that whatever
vs, however seumiuifly evil, is Providen
tially rigor, and therefore not to he
battled with; —the other, who hold what
ever they thiuk wrong, to he absolutely
wrong, and therefore entitled to no
mercy or toleration. The first class are
fatalists, at whose hands society can
expect but little improvement; and the
other are bigots, whose impulsions, if
unchecked, would be more destructive
than progressive
In the best conditions of society there
is much that is manifestly evil, and
which man is us manifestly comniis
stoned to abate. But this commission
is discriminative. While refusing to
accept the evil ns good, or the
wrong, as right, it does not assail
either the evil or the wrong madly, or
Mindly. It is governed by the apostolic
maxim, which abundant human expe
rience commends, that some things
may be right, and get not hr expedient.
Wisdom enjoins, as agreehle with the
needs of our imperfect humanity, that
we shoqld have some' considers! ion even
for that which we think is evil—so much
Consideration, at least, as fairly to
weigh it against its provocatives. We
must, to progress truly, neither condemn
passionately, nor adhere to doggedly,
whatever exists or happens in society.
All civilized, if not all human com
munities, are compacted upon some
mutual concessii ns and sacrifices.
Xox Explosive —Good (pure) kero
sene oil will not explode. There is an
infallible tost for this oil, which all
venders should practice before offering
kerosene for sale. Here it is, pro bono
publico :
Fill a tumbler three-fourths, full of
moderately cool water ; then pour half
a tablespoonful of kerosene into it,
stirring them toge her; thou hold a
lighted match over the tumbler, and if
it t ikes fi e from the vapor before the
flame comes in contact with the oil, it tv
dangerous. Good oil will not thus
igtti e. and, indeed, will not burn reallv
if a flaming match be thrown into it ;
while those which have been adulterated
with benzine will emit a vapor which is
neot \; as explosive as gunpowder, and
the oil will then burn freely.
This test w'e have witnessed, and it is
well that the public should know the
facts, as all may, by the means sug
gested, easily, safely, and effectually test
any oil before using it.
Decemiiek (the tail end of the year),
is rapidly going—will soon be num
bered with “the things that were, but
are not.” Shall we pause a moment for
reflection ?
Since man’s fall in the Garden, on

John Morrissey lias disposed of his

'1 he Riva t. News Association-.—The
Macon Telegraph, in a very fair anil
well tempered article, refers to the con
test between the two news associations,
and is willing to leave all to exercise
their judgment of the merits of each. The
biUlbyciKM - of Atlanta copies Lite com
ments of the Telegraph , and adds:
'file “New York Association," (to I
which reference is made in the conctu
dmg paragraph of the foregoing article),
is still furnishing the Macon Telegraph
with telegraphic news, as it does the
Intelligencer ; supplies also, most of the
daily papers in New York city, such as
the A xpte.es, 'Titties, Tribune, Herald
and others, without regard to their po
litical status.
Os course the New York papers
named receive their news from the old
association, beoaffl.se tlmy own and con
trol all its operations. The machine, is
run for their especial benefit, and all
the press of the country who cling to
the old association are simply contrib
uting to the prosperity of those journals.
This, to our mind, is the strongest possi
ble reason why the press of the country,
outside of New York, should sustain the
New Association. It is managed in the
mutual interest of all its patrons, and is
not dependant-on the caprice ot any
newspaper influence for its efficiency.
Time will, we feel assured, demonstrate
to all our brethren of the press that
their interest lies in an alliance with the
new association. Already it numbers
among its supporters nearly all the
principal papers of the West and South
west, with those of Washington city,
and a large portion of those of all the
Middle States. We are assured that
arrangements have been concluded for
greatly increasing the efficiency of the
new association, (which has already
eclipsed anything ever attempted by
tile Associated Press), after the first
of January.
The Charleston News, one of the
ablest and most enterprising papers in
the South, announces its withdrawal
from the old Associated Press, and its
alliance with Mr. Craig.

A Capital Joke.
A paper tells the following story :
During the war, Z was captured
first by Otp'ain Rum, and then, as he
lay alongside the road in a state of
blissful unconsciousness, he was picked
up by Captain Y ank. Now, /. was
over forty five years of age, didn't
belong to the army, and was mad as a
hornet at being disturbed in his slum,
hers, and refused decidedly to get into
one of the wagons.
“Pitch him in, boys,” said an officer
and through the air he went (one him.
dred and ninety pounds) and lit on his
hack oii a pile of corn. There he lay
abusing every one around him, until the
wagon he was in stalled in a mud hole,
and had to he unloaded.
“Get down from there, reb,” shouted
a sergeant to old Z .
"1 didn’t put myself up here, and 1
won't do nothing to criminate myself.’
“Throw him out, hoys,” and out he
went, and like to have hurst as he hit
the ground.
After unloading and getting out o 1
the hole, the sergeant ordered Z , to
get in again,
“I’ll lie darned if I do; I didn't put
myself here, and 1 ain't got nothing to
do with mysell.”
“Throw him in boys ;’’ and four men
took hold of Z , ami after two or
three preparatory swings, away he went
through the air, and lit like a hornet on
the corn.
Another break down, and Z was
ordered to crawl down again.
“ I won’t do it,” he roared. “I’m your
prisoner, dura yon, and I ain’t going to
take control of mysell.”
“Throw him out boys,” and out lie was
pitched.
"Get up,” said the sergeant, after the
wagon was repaired.
“Go to Nick,” replied Z ; put
your prisoner in yourself, I ain't spoil'
sible.”
“Get up, there,” shouted the sergeant
to the driver; and off they drove, leav
ing Z alone in his glory. That was
the hardest nut, the sergeant says, he
ever met.
Old Z , on finding himself his
own man again, hoisted his flag and
trotted home, swearing he knew the ar
ticles of war belter than all the sergeants
in the United States army.
—Mr. Kavanagh, a newly elected
member of the British Parliament, was
burn without arms or legs, and when
speaking, will not have ‘‘a leg to stand
on” personally, whatever may he the
ease with his argument. He rides on
horseback, drives a tandem team, writes
with his mouth, and makes a good
speech. He is rich, married, and h m
four sons with the full complements of
arms and legs. His valet carries him
on his shoulder, and will have to bear
him aloft when “the honorable member
from Wexford has the floor.”
—This conundrum is old, but is bad
enough to be rather good: “Why is a
beggar with his toes oat of his shoes
like the King of Prussia? Because the
King of Prussia issues manifestoes, and
a poor beggar has manifest loos to his
shoes.”
—Lord Dundreary has just given his
opi lion with regard to the much vexed
question—marriage with a deceased
wife’s sister. “I think,” he says, “mar
riage with a dethenthed wile’s thither is
very proper and very economical, be
cause when a fellah marrith his de
theathed wife’s thither, he—he hath
only one mother in-law.”
—The greatest wonder in the State
of lowa is the “Walled Lake,” which is
three feet higher than the earth’s sur
face, and occupies nineteen hundred
acres. It has not yet been ascertained
where the water comes (rum or where it
goes to, yet it always remains fresh and
clear.

The Charleston News Withdraws.
Charleston, Dec. 28 —P. M.
The Daily Dews of this morning, in
announcing its withdrawal from the New
York Associated Press, says: *
“We. for some time, have been re
ceiving the dispatches of both Associa
times, and finding those of Mr. Craig the
most complete and satisfactory, and,
moreover, not conceding to the Associ
ated Press the right of dictating to us
what we shall or shall not publish it our
paper, we have concluded to with raw
from the old monopoly, and no' fur
nish our readers with the fuller and pore
complete dispatches of the United States
and Eutopean Association.”
Changing- Tune.
New York. Dec. 28.
The Now York Times has a whining
article this morning, admitting the right
of all newspapers to obtain news from
any parties they please, which is in con
-1 r-1 VI > !11 i.- 11 -- *1 - Ilf I hifc». tut nt- . o
monopoly, of which it is a member.
The Times has lately been obtaining its
news of the United Slates and European
News Association in an impecunious
and surreptitious manner as well as its
content; oraries. The evening editions
of the monopolists daily teem w ith stolen
news from t e new Association.
The Associated Press Expenses.
New Y’ork, Dec. 28—P. M.
It is stated, on creditable authority,
that the weekly bills of the five respon
sible members of the New York Asso
ciated Press, which, under the manage
ment of the recent General Agent,
averaged from S2OO to $250 per week,
have been increased to $1,300 apiece, in
consequence of the abandonment of the
Association by a large number of their
former newspaper patrons all over the
country. The President o! the Associa
tion to-day announces that they will
shortly make a direct appeal to mer
chants and speculators to come forward
and assist them to carry their present
heavy load, which is likely to increase
to $2,000 per week.
