Mn. NAsBx ON DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS.—
Petroleum V. Nasby," whose writings emu-1
sed Mr. Lincoln so much says in his last let-E
for that “these is the dark. days of the Dim-
ocracy. ” He adds: ' .
"We hev no way uv keeping Our voters
together. - Qpposin’ the war won’tdo no

Mr. Nasby then lays down a few‘ plain
rules for the guidance of the faithful ' in this‘
matter, one of which is as follOWs:
“Allnz assert that the nigger will never
be able to take care uv hisself, but will allnz

gency the dooty uv evry Dimocrat is plane.

Buying Beef.
Happening at a butcher’s stall, at custo-
mer came to make a purchase.
“What do you ask, for a good baking piece
of beef ?" ‘ '
“Thirty eight cents a pound,” Was the re-
ply. ‘ ~
“Cut me off eleven pounds,” said the cus-
tomer. “I’ll come in shortly and settle for
it i” and he went on an errand.
After the beef was weighed and ‘trimmed,’
I said to my friend, the:provision dealer,
“I wish to know, just from the-curiosity'ofi
the thing, how much that piece of meat’, has
lost in ‘trimming?” '
“Very Well,” replied be, weighing it;
there are nine pounds pQunds and a half left.” '
“And eleven pounds," I added, ‘,‘at'thirty-
eight cents apound, equal to four dollars
and eighteen cents. This divided - by nine
and a half, makes just forty four Cents. per
pound. Rather a tall price for beef, partic-
ularly when a large part of it is bone.”
“The man is a fool for buying it,” replied
the butcher,” “but'no matter. what the cost
is, some people will buy it ; and, generally;
they arenot the richestvin the place either.”
' I thought OfaCertain little ’womamf the
light of my . cottnge home, 'who manages
things very differently in marketing. '
In thermatter of beef for instance, now
the prices, “are So exorbitant, she purchases‘
that whiChis suitable for stuffing, 'whiCh can“
be bought clear, of bone, for twelve or four-
teen cents per pound. This 'is { her, receipt
forcooklng‘; -- ' ' ‘ ' ,
Take a thick slice of steak, no‘matter how
tough, of about‘two pounds weight; make
two gills ofpstufi'ing, of crumbs of bread, pep-
per, powdered, clove,.or sweet ma'rjoram, as
you chooée; roll the dressing up in the
steak; wind 8. piece of twine around . it; taé’
king care to secure the ends. Have ready
a kettle, or deep stewpan withia s‘lice'o‘r‘ftwo
of pork, fried crispy. Take out (the perk,
and lay in’the steak, and turn it on every
side until it is brown, Put in half apint of
water, a littlewsalt, Cover closely, boil lewly
two hours. Add more water, afler a while,
if it'becOmes too dry. Some persons like
the addition of chopped onions; half of a
small one is enough. When nearly done
addrhalfa gill of catsup if you love it.
When you take up the meat, unwind the
string carefully so as not to unroll it. Lay
it in a fricasse dish, thicken the gravy, if not
thick enough already, and pour it over the
meat. Cut the meat in slices through the
roll.‘ The toughest meat is made tender and
nutritious in this way, and it is equally nice
heated over and served the next day.
A leg of lamb, or a small leg of mutton
cooked one hour longer in the same manner,
make a good dish. '

In answer I would say that during my six-

cessful in accomplishing, these objects. and
thereby gained the good opinion of so many

than paid for the long years of toil, the many
abuses and misrepresentations put forth
against me by parties and combinationswho
have so strenuously endeavored tn check all
