Letter JBox:.
.All communications for this department must
be plainly written on one aide of the paper,
contain no personal or improper allusions and
be accompauied with the writer's real name
though it need not necessarily be signed to the
article written. Correspondents can do as they
like about that, but muit inform us privately
of their real names.
A letter from Elmvroocl received this
week is too long and too aesthetic for
our columns. It has one other hin
drance to publication. It is written on
both sides of tha paper. Our rules are
imperative in this matter and writers
must conform to them.
. We do not want to discourage any
of our youn2 friends from writing to
us, but yet we are obliged to ask, those
who desire to appear in print to use
discretion in the length and matter of
their communications, and to bear in
mind that the editor is a busy hard
worked man, wiih plenty to do always,
and that reading badly spelled MSS.
takes up time and patience wonderful
ly fast.
This Letter Box is meant for improve
ment and education, and part of this
should commence at home, before your
letter gets to the editor. A few mis
takes, and especially from our young
friends (and we want to see their let
ters much of tener), will be gladly over
looked, but the elder ones must get
their'Dictionaries down and work, if
they cannot spell any other way, and
re-write their letters. There is nothing
of real value accomplished in this world
without hard labor. "Writing for a
newspaper is very hard work, even for
the professional editor, if done well, and
an amateur should not hope to have
slip-shod, careless work accepted, nor
long winded and abstruse theories ven
tilated. If oppressed with big ideas
bow, pack them away and write us
plain, newsy little things, until you get
the "hang" of it, and thsn you can ven
tilate your scientific, aestheticor emo
tional evolutions in journals devoted
to one of these particular Hue3 of
thought. .;-.
Come along with your letters, but ex
pect to have some dropped in the waste
basket now and then. We put a good
many of our own articles there, after
reading thm over, at times Ed.
Louisville, Xe3., Feb. 23th, 77.
Friend Herald. Seeing articles
fron. various parls of the country in
your letter department I thought a few
words from this part of the foot stool
might nut ba uninteresting. Our lit
erary society abounds in fun and in
struction. We have adopted a new
constitulion which makes work more
efTectiTP. Nearly all of the members
perform the parts assigned them
promptly and creditably. Very seldom
a failure is reported. Music, declara
tions, essays and dabate is the order of
every Friday evening.
Mr. Geo. B003 and family start for
the land of flowers and hard money the
first of next week. May prosperity at
tend them.
Every town has i is peculiarity. W.
W. cries continuously for the county
seat, Omaha's is Itose water, Platts
mouth's is Sam Chapman and pro rata,
Louisville's is teachers. Seventeen
teachers and ex-teachers now inhabit
this burgh, and when a man talks of
moving here a committee of citizens is
sent to investigate him. Woe unto
said man if he is net, or has not been,
a teacher. He may get along if he is
the possesser of a parlor organ.
A grapevine telegram from Omaha
informs us that our esteemed bachelor
squire was married last December in
that city, and that his wife is now stop
ping at the Grand Central. : The young
ladies here who have been "setting
their caps" for the squire are much
chagrinned at this intelligence, and
have gone to chewing gum to drown
their disappointment. This is the se
quel to the squire's visit to Omaha in
December last, and returning with his
lips so hermetically sealed, as reported
by the Chronicle at the tirna. -Vive la
Squire. More anon,
J. B. Greene.
(Jiris, drtn't Do It.
"'Don't do what" our fair readera will
ask. There are a great many things
you ought to do. and still a great num
ber that you had better not do. Fore
most and prominent among the latter
is to reform a drunkard by marrying
him. Depend upou it, if you cannot
keep him sober during those days of
the average woman's strongest influ
ence over wayward men, the season of
courtship, the chances will be against
success. Some women have succeeded
in this labor of love, but there are ten
thousand failures to one success. It
is a field of missionery labor that few
of the sex are fitted to enter. If John
gets drunk once a month while he is
billing and cooing, depend upon it lie
will require semi-monthly season of
Bacchanalian recreation when he be
comes a Benedict A man . who gets
drunk is necessarily a bad or foolish
man when he is under the influence of
liquor, and is very apt to soon become
a bad man whether drunk or sober.
The romantic idea, that a woman who
can reform a drunkard is . deserving a
crown of glory, is all the veriest bosh.
They would be shocked by the sug
gestion that a man who marries a fallen
woman and restores her to a life of vir
tue" would be deserving the praise of all
mankind. . ; . 1 '

One of the most important meas

the following act to revise and correct
our laws, we give it in full:
- AN ACT " "
Creating a commission to revise the

FOR THE HOUSEHOLD;
- Oat Meat.; Gripdlb Cases. One
and one half cups, oatmeal,, two -tea-spoonfuls
of sugar, a pinch of salt,one
feurth of a teaspoonful. of soda. .Stir
well together and let-it stand -over
jtight; then add one egg, one cup of
milk, flour enough to make the battef.
right to bake.. Bake on a griddle as
pancakes, .-. - -
; Velvet Cream. Three ."pints, of
cream, the white of six eggs, a Jaalf
box of gelatine..; Flavor and sweeten
the cream to tase; then, beat to a stiff
froth the. whites of the eggs, also whip

ed potato," 2 cupfuls; melted butter; 2.
tablespoonfuls, worked well together

Brown Bread. Several hav asked
for a receipt ef this celebrated -New
England bread which is often called
Boston brown bread. The following has
been thoroughly tested and approved.
Indian and rye meal, one quart each.
Milk, 3 pints; soda and salt, two tea
spoonfuls each; molasses, 4 of a cup
ful. Steam for five hours, at the end
of which time ' set the pan in a hot
oven long enough to well brown the
crust. . . f .
Croquettes. Because of, their
French name and of the high price
charged at restaurants, many have the
impression that they are far too expen
sive far ordinary families. This is a
mistake, as tliey afford a most accept
able ferin in which to use up the rem
nants of fowl, game, meats, eta When
presentable bits can no longer be cut
from a turkey, chicken, or other bird3,
or there are the remnants of veal, mut
ton, venison, or even fish, an excellent
breakfast or supper dish may be made.
The material is to be chopped fine ; one
half to one-fourth as much bread
crumbs or mashed potato, a well-beaten
egg to each cupful of the mixture, to
bind it together, and if too dry to make
into balls, add gravy, or if none is at
hand melted butter, salt, pepper, and
whatever seasoning may be fancied,
such as parsley and other herbs ; a tri
fle ef onion, catsup, etc. Make into
rolls, balls, or mold in a wine-glass.
Dip in egg, roll in powdered cracker,
and fry, having the fat very hot, to a
light brown. Properly made they will
take up no fat. Some omit the egg
and cracker and simply flour them.
They may be cooked in advance, and
warmed through when wanted by pla
cing in an oven. Seiaps of several
meats may be combined, and a little
ham will greatly improve the flavor of
those made of Yeal. , ;
A Sensible Mother. It is really
pitiful to see a g-od, conscientious lit
tle mother resolutely shutting herself
away from so much that is best and
sweetest in her children's lives, for the
sake of raffling their dresses and tuck
ing their petticoats. How surprised
and grieved she will be to find that her
boys and girls, at sixteen regard "moth
er" chiefly as- a most excellent person
to keep shirts in order and to make
new dresses, and not as one to whom
they cae to go for social companion
ship 1 Yet, before they are snubbed out
of it by repeated rebuffs, snch as "Run
away, I'm too busy to listen to your
nonsnnse," children naturally go to
their mothers with .ill their sorrows
and pleasures; and if "mother" can
only enter into all their little plans,
how pleased they are! Such . a shout
of delight as I heard last summer from
Mrs. Friendly's croquet-ground, where
her two little girls were playing ! -Oh.
goody, goody, mamma is coming to play
with us!" She is a busy mother, too,
and I know would have much referr
ed to use what few moments of recre
ation she could snatch, for something'
more interesting than playing croquet
with little children not much taller
than their mallets. She has eften said
to me, "I cannot let my children grow
away from me, I must keep right along
with them all the time, and whether
it is croquot with the littlo ones, or
Latin grammar and base-ball with tho
boys, or French dictation and sash-rih-bons
with the girls, I must 'be in it as
far as I can." -From" Letters to a young
Mother Scribner for March.
'. ' 1 i. f -.It
was only a few years .ago that
swine breeders were viewing with each
other for the greatest weight of carcas;
but this is now all changed. Hogs that
will weigh 500 pounds are sold at a
less price per pound than those ef 250
and 300 pounds. . The market iu Eng
land has long favored light weights.
London is chiefly supplied with pigs f
not less than 200 pounds weight. And
this tendency of the . market : to pigs
well fatted, butof small wighr,isjust
what the farmers should encourage,
for it is exactly in the line of his inter
est. It costs more to make the second
hundred pounds of a pig than the first
and still more to make the third hun
dred pounds, and so every pound adr
ded becomes more expensive. 1
There had been a discussion about
the cost of a dress, and she was wrathy.
?It's all very well," she pouted, "for
you to expect a woman to be an angel;
but I'd have you know, sir, that I
wouldn't be even an angd'un!ess my
wings could be .cut . goring. There,
now!" JSt, Lou is i Republican.
