Aa a rule, nn omelet is a wholesome and Inexpensive dish, yet one in the prepara tion of which cooks frequently fail, owing to carelessness of detail. With a little at tention the honsewife can easily become the periect cook In this branch as well as others.

These are the facU about Mr. Pendleton's appolnt- ment Last week ex-Gov. Jarvis, of North Car oline, wrote a letter lo one of his friend*, saying in positive terms that he bad not asked for tbe Brazilian nihsiou; that he did not want it, and that he considered it as banishment. Forty- eight bonra atterward he appeared in Washington, and was persuaded to forego hia previous declination. Mr. Jarvis was proposed for a seat in the cabinet by his political friends. In tba distribution of diplomatic honors, the post at Brasil waa awarded to the Old North State, and Mr. Jarvis was nominated wlthont bis knowl edge or previous privity. He is popular in the State, progressive, end likely to be come a serious candidate for tbe Senat-. Perhaps General Ransom, whose term will expire In 1889, may have thought it desira ble to have an important competitor out of the country. The appointment of Mr, Buck to Peru quite onset tho equilibrium of the Ken tucky delegation to Congress. Following c'.orely on tbe heels of the defeat of their favorite tor commisiioner of internal rev enue, it may be said to have excited the keen resentment of tbe politicians. Mr. Buck had lived in Mississippi, and was ortnnate in having the friendship of Mr. Lamar. Ono aaoh friend, when in earneat, is a tower of strength. Mr. Beck vehe mently condemned Mr. Back's appoint ment, so far as it was charged to Ken tucky. He declared he did not know Mr. Buck. The representatives ol the admin istration answered that Mr. Back had been chosen in compliment to tbe wiahes of the Senators and Representatives from Kentucky, and exhibited their written recommendations to that effect, beaded by Mr. Beck and Mr. Blackburn. This an swer silenced tbe opposition, and dis proved tha accepted theory that general recommendations for office bave no value and that personal lnfinencs la alone effee tire. It Is alleged that Mr. Jaekson, the new minister to Mexico, who was confirmed wlthont hesitation by the Senate, stands In tbe ssms category with hla former law partnsr, General Liwton, who was not confirmed. Thetis to say, they both re ceived pardons from President Johneon, hut did not get their disabilities removed by Congress, holding that tha pardon wa* legs y sufficient to cover the offense.
