 trviiig new experiments where there is a i 

 able prospect of success, is said to be coU- 

 increasing in wealth from the business of

 o-w'orker in the great cause of the country 

 a dark period of our history, we allude to j 

 ntleu.an not without feelings of coinplacen- } 

 pride. He has been, and continues to be j 

 red with a due share of confidence from his' 

 iti/ens — he has been a member of the lo-

COOKING CABBAGE. 



We cannot here pass over the advice of Bruy- 

 erinus,. respecting the preparing of cabbage for 

 the table. " I must," says he, " exjiose an error, 

 which is no less common than pernicious, in pre- 

 paring cabbage. Most people, in consequence of i 

 tfie ignorance of their cooks, eat it after it has 

 been long boiled, a circumstance which does 

 not a little diminish both its grateful taste and | 

 salutary (jualiiies. But observe, that those who 

 have a more polite and elegant turn, order their J 

 cabbage to he slightly boiled, put into dishes and 

 seasoned with salt and oil; by which method they 

 assume a beautiful green colour, become grate- 

 ful to the taste, and proper for keeping the body 

 soluble. This circumstance ought not to be for- 1 

 gotten by those who are lovers of cabbage. 



The ancients boiled their cabbage with nitre 

 which rendered it at once more grateful to the pal- 

 ate and more agreeable to the eyi.'."

 nursery, we believe^ is now by far Ijie larg- 

 North America, covering an extent of //mX^

 now enumerates upwards of 20,000. The

 I still more extensive. To show with what

 iiine varieties of grape vines, sent by Mr

le Jl>'ls in France. — In the article of plated 

 s, the French seem to surpass the nianufac- 

 3 of Birrainghira. A method has been discov- 

 there of making coffee pots, &c. of one piece 

 ?tsl. and cheaper than the old method. Pins 

 l?o made at a single operation, of which the 

 and tail are of one piece. Immense num- 

 of classical books are stereotyped in an ele- 

 manner, and afforded at very low prices to 

 y country in Europe. 



CURE FOR INFLUENZA. 



fiuinca Pepper. — The following receipt is the 

 famous popper medicine for the cure of malignant 

 influenza and sore throats ; which has been found 

 highly elKcacious, and is recommended as a pow- 

 erful iiiaphoretic [promoter of insensible perspi- 

 ration] stimulant [exciting to action] and antisep- 

 tic [resisting putrefaction.] 



Take two table spoonfuls of small red pepper, 

 or three of common Cayenne pepper, add two of 

 fine salt, and beat them into a paste ; add half a 

 pint of boiling water. Strain oflf the liquor when 

 cold, and add to it half a pint of very sharp vine- 

 gar. Give a table s'poonful every half hour as a 

 dose for an adult,and so in proportion for yo'inger 

 patients. Perhaps this medicine might merit a 

 trial in yellow fever. [Ibid.] 



Potatoes for fattening hogs, seasoned with alum. 

 Mr Somerville says in his Reports, that the fatten- 

 ing of hogs by potatoes is much hastened by mix- 

 ing a small quantity of any astringent substance 

 among the potatoes, especially if they show the 

 least tenilency to purging. A little alum, or Ar- 

 menian bole may be used. 



The income of the Philadelphia Atheneum is 

 2,859 dollars a year. The library contains 4000 

 books. The whole property is valued at 10,000 

 dollars. About 900 strangers were introduced into 

 the room last year. 



jring a late fire in New York city, the pro- 

 tor of a caravan of living animals found it ne- 

 ary to reuiove his charge. The Elephant,

 self to be led by the nose through the crowd,
