COOKING.
In New York some ladle* have formed a
society for the purpose of learning the
art of cooking, and lta proceedings are
published in several of the papers of that
city. In Shreveport, La., some of the
young ladies have organised a society
called the "Belle of the Kitchen,” the
members of which at stated times invite
their friends to lunch and furnish nothing
to eat that is not oooked with their own
fair hands. Those societies can both be
made highly useful, but the same good
roeuit* can be obtained without the •'so
ciety” feature, If young ladies will take
the matter earnestly In hand—and, really,
there are but few matters more won hy
of their attention. They, as well as their
friends, eat something three times every
day, and it should be a pleasure to thoin
to know how to convert every article of
food Into the most enjoyable possible form.
The general cooking in the Boutb is get
ting worse and worse every year; for the
old, well-trained cook* are gradually
passing away, and the generation of the
same color now coming on, are not pro
paring to All the vacancies. Our daugh
ters should take the matter in hand, and
make this art prominent among their
home accomplishments. Good cooking Is
the beet guarantee of good hoalth, good
temper and good spirits that we can have.
Young ladles, take the matter in hand.
Washington’* Birthday.
Unless reminded of the fact, our people
are prone to forget that this Is the birth
day of the great and pure Washington.
For ten or more years past, a growing
tendency Is apparent in the South to for
get, or to regard with Indifference, the
eeveral days of the year that were cele
brated with enthusiasm before the war, as
holidays and occasions of glorlAcation.
The 4th of July, the Bth of January, and
the 29d of February were always wel
comed with rejoicings and military pa
rades. But now, in these days of return
ing boards and other outrageous inven
tions, things have changed. This, how
ever, is a national holiday. Banks will
be closed, and telegraphic news will be
moag re.
Cotton.
The daily receipts of cotton are falling
off so rapidly as to show the certain ex
haustion of their stock in the farmers
hands. It is getting to be a well ascer
tained fact that but little more will reach
this market on wagons; and the falling
off Is equally marked, by river and rail,
though fhe receipts from these channels
will run further into the year. The stock
in the wareuousea is dwindling in propor
tion as the shipments extend the receipts,
and soon, but little will be left except such
remnants as planters may prefer to hold.
Our statement in anothor place will show
totol receipts, shipments and stock re
maining in store. The portion of the crop
sold and shipped here brought to the pro
ducers about three millions of doling
and that remaining on band will approach
another half million. Making an aggre
gate sum, sufficient, it would seem to put
our neighbors pretty well on their feet
again, as smokehouses and corn cribs aro
fuller of home-made provisions than for
eeveral years past.
Excellent Ulgn Painting.
While walking along the streets yester
day, we were very agreeably struck by a
beautiful and tasty specimen of sign
painting, which is prominently displayed
on the tear of the Georgia Home Building.
It is the work of Mr. E. W. Blau, who has
his headquarters nt J. W. Pease A Nor
man’s Book Store.
For line display and prominence of out
line, care and artistic design, this speci
men of painting cannot be excelled by any
other in the city. *
Fire.
About 8 o'clock last night tho alarm of
Are was given, and it was found that a
house in the lower part of the oity known
os “Burton’s corner” was burning. It is
said that it belonged to Mr. Billy Burton,
and it being so far from water, and where
engine power could not be applied effec
tively, it was ontirely consumed.
We understand Mr. Burton was insured
with Mr. Wilcox for SSOO, while his lues
will prove fully S7OO. Another small
building near to Mr. Burton, was also
burned. The latter occupied as a shoe
shop. Mr. Burton’s house was unoccu
pied.
Personal.
We received a call yesterday from Mr.
W. J. Holloway, the general traveling
agent of the Studebaker Wagon Manufac
turing Company. Mr. Holloway is on his
•eml-annual rounds to see his friends in
this section, and to talk Wagon to them a
little. He represents a first-class Wagon
and clever manufacturers; and his com
pany could not get the services of a more
efficient agent, or oue who can do tiieir
Wagon fuller justice.
Amusing Incident.—-A rich old citi

to remark at the, depot, yesterday, to a
friend.
“This is the road I've been working for
for the last twenty years.”
Whereupon,aeonvict, who was at work
iminediatuly in front of him, spoke up:
“In the name of God, stranger, what
did you do? I’ve only got to work on it
three years for shooting my brother-in
law.”
The citizen went off and talked to the
guard about it.— San Antonio Herald.

“8 Beats 7.”—Two darkeys were play
ing seven-lip Saturday night, for five cents
a game. Pomp dealt the cards and turn
ed up the seven of clubs.
Josiah looked over his hand, stole a
card from the deck, and said: “Eight
beats seven, I stand.”
But Pomp held the ace, deuce. Jack
and ten, and made high, low, jack and
gamfc.
Josiah enquired, “how can dat be ?”
and Pomp answered :
“You see, nigger, you counted on a
fraudulent card. It was the eight of
spades. Dat’s a sign dat you'll be buried
before dls game is played through. Fac'
is, eight mighty seldom beats Beven in
de long run, ’specially whar dars stealin,’
and I seed you when you stole dat card.”
Pomp pocketed the stakes, and Josiah
retired to meditate on the virtues of the
electoral commission.
The Pope has become very much alter
ed. His teet do not carry him any longer.
His face, formerly fresh, and of a jovial
expression, is now shrunk and of a listless
aspect. He rarely leaves his bedroom,
and receives visitors there, between 5 and 7
in the afternoon, more reclining than sit
ting in an armchair. He has a large table
before him on which a few candles only
are placed; between them there stands a
crucifix. His memory is failing him very
much in matters of quite recent occur
rence though he remembere well the
things of a long time past. Many doubt
whether he will complete his 85th year.

Though there is nothing in the present
I condition of the diy real estate market to
tempi investments or new building enter
prises to any considerable extent, there
are some indications of s slight revival of
that Important industry in tho upper part
of the island as the spring approaches. As
usual, however, the trade societies are
getting ready to put a prompt stop to it
by giving notice of their intentions to
strike for higher wsges by the Ist of
March—the plasterers taking the lead,
with an implication that the carpenters,
bricklayers, painter, etc., will soon follow.
If it be true, as recently stated m the
Board of Alderman, that there are Afly
thousand mechanics and work
ingmen In New Y r ork to-day
unable to And employment and,
are dependent upon public und private
charity for their daily bread, what can be
thonght of a proceeding like this? The
plasters are oSered $2 per day, but they
insist upon $2.50. The result will be, as
heretofore, builders will ihrow up their
contracts and wait until they can see
their wsy to executing them without pos
itive losb. Meanwhile the great army of
idlers will be increased, ana the burthen
upon those who are willing to work to
support those who will not, save on their
own terms, will be heavier than ever.
He who will go about idle rather than
work for $2 per day, in times like these,
ought at. least to have spirit enough to de
cline to live at the expense ol such of Ids
fellow-men as are glad to get employment
upon any terms.— N. Y. Bulletin.

Consumptives Take Notice.
Every moment of delay makes your
cure more bopeluss, and much depends on
the judicious choice of a remedy. The
amount of testimony in favor of I)r.
Scheiit-k's Pulmonic Syrup, as a cure for
Consumption, far#tceeds all that can be
brought to support the pretensions of
any other medicine. See Or. Bchenck’s
Almanac, containing the certiAoates of
many persons of the highest respectabili
ty, who have been restored to health,
after being pronouuced incurable by
physicians of acknowledged ability
St-henck’s Pulmonic Syrup alone has
cured many, as those evidences will show;
but the euro is olten promoted by the em
ployment of two other remedies which
br. Scheru-k provides for the purpose.
1 heue additional remedies are Schenck’s
Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. By
t.he timely use of these medicines, accord

that most any case of Consumption may
be cured.
