A. GOOD PLAIN COOK:
" WANTED, a good plain Cook," is hungrily
echoed from the' columns of the Times,l)YJtalf
the husbands and bachelors of Great Britain.
According to the true meaning of the words
a good plain Cook'—to judgo from the unskilful
manner In which domestic cookery is carried
on throughout the length rind breadth of the
land—ls a very great rarity. But the conven
tional end the true mpanipt of tho expression
widely differ
"'What is commonly self-called a plain cook,"
says a writer in the Examiner, "is a cook who
spoils foodibr.low-wages._ She is .a_cook,_not
because she knows anything about cookery;
.but becauoo she prefers the litchou fire to
scrubbing floors, polishing grates; or making
beds. A cook who_can boil a potato and dress
a muttoo 7 chop is ono in a thousand." .
Such very plain cooks:will always'eliel fur
dyspeptic purposes, while those who arc In au
thority over t! ern remain ignorant of an art
which, however much it may bo slighted, ex
ercises a crowning influence over health and
happiness. Eat we must";.atki it is literally a
subject, of vital impohance whether-what we
eat be properly adapted for healthful digestion
or not. -
Medical statistics tell us that for all diseases
with which the English are afflicted, those aris
ing directly or indirectly from impaired diges
tive, organs are the most prevalent. We aro
lalsely accused in consequence of overeating ;
but t'ae trim cause of ouradments is bad cook
ing. A Frenchman or a German devours much
inure at one of his own ineshamaible tables-d'-
1104 than on Englishman consumes at his din
ing-table—and with ^impunity ; for the forzign
or's fond being properly prepared is easily di

writer in Blackwood's Magazine, 'between
english anti foreign cookery- is just thin: in
preparing butcher's meat for the table - , the aim
of foreign cookery Is to make it tend. r, of
English to make it hard. And both systems
°cloudy effect their object, in spite oVdifficul
ties on each side. The butchee's.ffleat which
yem . hoy abrourkis tough, coarve.grained,and
stringy ; yet foreign cookery sends this meat to
c .....
table tender. The butcher's meat which you
uy in Englund is tender enough when it comes
licirie ; but domestic cookery sends it up hard
Don't tell me the hardne-ei is in the meat itself.
Nothing of the hind ;-it's altngetlier an achieve
ment of the English cuisine. I appeal to a leg
of muttori, I appeal to a beefsteak, as they ti
sunny- come to table; the beef half broiled, the
mutton hull rou s ted. Judge fbr yourself. The
underdone portion cif each is tvrider ; the por
tion that's dressed is hard. Argot, the hardness
is due to 'the dressing, not to the meat ;'it'is a "
triumph-of domestic cookery. Engage a 'good

but too rrue : the reel art of stewing
is almost unknown, in Great Britaiit, and even
in Ireland, despite the lamp of an 'lrish stew.'
Everything that is not roasted or (ilea, is
, boiled"a gallop,' till the duality of tenderness
is consolidated to the consistency of canna:hone.
Such a thing us u siewpan is almost, Onknown
in houses supported by less than froOt three to
five hundred a year.
Thesa,gastronomic grievances arc solely duo
to neglected education. M. Alexis Soyer,,with
a.touch of that quiet irony which
„ii4asts to
satire its sharpest-.sling, dedicated his last
CoOiery.boolc 'to the daughters of Albion:—
Havirig-soinc acquaintance with their deficien
cies, ho laid his book ably at their feet to drop
such a hint. as is conscyed •when a dictionary
is handed to damsels who blunder in Orthogra
phy, or when teaches are pre'eentod to' correct
unpunetuality. It Is to be feared however, that
Abe daughter" of Albion' were too 'busy with
loss useful—though to thorn scarcely-less es"
sential—accomplishments, to profit by this hint.
Cookery Is a subject they hove never been
taught to regard as worthy ol their attention;
rather, indeed, as ono to 'be avoided r for it is
never discusseelotherwiee .than apologetically,
with a -simpering sort of jocularity, or as tonne»
thing which ii is..low' to know anything about.'
When a curtain diplomatist was reminded that
his mother had been a cook, lie did not deny
the fact; I)ut assured the company. "upon hhi
honor, that she was a very bad one.' People in
the hest society do nut-laiaitatolo: bore others
with their. ailments, and Wit about cures and
physic ; lint conversation respecting prevention
—which is bettor thadeuro—and Wholesomely
prepared food, is tabooed. .
Young ladies of the leisure clasiei are edu= . .
elated to become uncommonly acute critics • of
all' that pertains to personal ;. binndiehm2at.
They-,keep -ltilt.uncothPrornisingly lighrhand
-

Can 'tell to a - thread whena flounce is too port'

and owns one—posses unreproached for the
most heinous offences. Badly seasoned arid, ill
assimilated soup; fish, without any-fault of the
fithinunger, soft and flabby ; meat rapidly roas
ted before fuftee fires—burnt outside and raw
within ; poultry rendered by the some process
tempting.to the eye, till dissection-reveals red
and uncooked joints l These crimes, from their
Ir. yummy* and the ignorance of 'the lady of tIM
house,' remain unpin i•hed. Whereupon, hum
bands, tired of their Burnieeide feasts—which
disappoint the taste more because they • have
often a pi omising look to the eye—prefer bet
ter tare at theft clubs ; and escape thu Scylla
of bad digestion, to be Wrecked on the Charyb
dis of domestic discoid. All this is owing to
the wife's Culinary ignorance, and to your 'Good
Plain Cooks.'
We do and - say that the daughters of the
_wealthy and Well to do should be submittekto
regular kitchen apprenticeships : til
and t the
detaiis of cookery, any more Um that they
should learn to make shoes or to fit - and cut
itequire principles —such minciples as would
eoable' them to apply prompt correction to the
errors of their hired colts. It 1'1.90 very bold
assertion lhat'were such a knowing and judi•
ciuus supervision generultly exercised, the sto
mach diseases under which half our nation
&int to groan, would be materially ahati.d.
Let us lake a steror two lutvir in the lad
der of.Euglish Ile, where circumstances-oblige
the Good Plain Cook and the iVife to be one
and the same person. Many a rmpectable
clerk, and marry a. 91111111 farmer, is doomed
-froni-one -y ears end-10-another to- a - .tv enry s ing:
proportion of cold, dry, uncomfortable d inn, N,
because his n : ife'l i iowledge of cookery takis
ill/ wirter tangg ‘ thati that a hieh pertains to the
roasted, birMia and fried. Thousands of arti
sans arid laborers are delwived of half the ac,-
!ual nutriment of food, and of all the legiti
mate pleasures-of the table, because their bet
ter halves—though-go od mn cooks; in - the or- -
(hoary acceplat'on of the term—carer in utter
darkness as . to economising, and rendering pal
at....ble the - daily sustenance of their families. 'ii
-we could see,' says a writer before quoted, 'by
the help of an Asinuderir what is going on at
the dinner=hour, of the humble or 'the middle
class, wh'irt a speciaele of discomfort, waste,
ill-temper, and consyquent it eonduct, it would

the spirits and the resource to the baulked ap
petite. There. is thus not only the.direct waste
of fobd and detriment to health, but the farther
conseqiieht waste of the use of spirits, with its
injury• to the habits and the health. -On the
other hand; people who eat will drink moder
ately ; the satisfaction of appetite with relish
dispensing with resource to stiin;:laiits. Good
humor, too, and good health follow a good meal,
and by ; 'good meal we mean anything, howev•

many other rinks to hoot.,
Great would be the advantage to the com

CARLISLE, AUGUST IL, 1850.
GENERAL TAYLOR.
The disposition of the human mind, just as
on pie soul is the point of being divoreed for
ever from its earthly tenement, to recur to the
subject which haa ince constantly occupied it
during health, has long been a subject ,of re
mark to tnemphy EliCl4llo. This tendency has
bees properly described as " The ruling passion
strong in death," and the instances of its man
ifestation recorded in histhry are innumerable.
Wolfe: falling in the arms of victory, was
told, "they fly;" Who
,fly," exclaimed the
dying hero ;—"The Frendh," replied his sur
rounding friends. "Then, said he, "I dip con
tented." Nelson, expiring in his cabin at the
close of thatxreat battle in }'hickhe received
hie death wound, recurring to the shoals in
which his own fleet-and his prizes were involv
ed, said with hie last breath, "Tell Colling Wood
to anchor." "Be a good man, for if you do
not you will feel it when you come to lie here,"
were the last words of Sir Walter-Scott to Lock
hart. "If you have not understand my_loot
said Byron to
Fletcher.
We think it was 'the famous teacher Dr. Parr,
whose last words were, as the film of death'was
iiiosing over his eyes, "galiorrie boys, its grow
ing very dark." The broken heart and gentle
spirit of Keats, manifcated themselves in his
last words, "1 fuel the daisies growing over mo."
The stern spirit of Napoleon escaped in the
midst of a thunder storm which roclieil his sea
girt Island to its volcanic . foundation. The war
of the clot] tents with sut was in unison with
that whieb.rageci within the bosom of the dying .
chieftain. In the delirium which preceded his
dissolution, his broken exclamations goes evi
dence that he was, in fancy, directing the
movemenui IA a desperate battle. Ho. was.rou
sed from a stupor into which he had 'momenta
rily fallen by a tremendous burst of thunder.—
"Tele d'armee." exclaimed the dying hero, o
pening, his eyos_with his wonted.animation and
inslantareously closing them forever.
We doubt, however, whether any dying man
ever gave utterance to a sentiment of greater
moral grandeur than that which formed the'
burthen o f f the last sentenceffr uttered by the
tongue oraichary Taylor. have no fear of
de.ith. I have tried to do , my duty." yes!
DOTY was the paramount object with shun,
throughout his long and useful lifek an object
cherished with so much zeal, th - IL it had grown
;into a passion. - Take any pcirlitin - lef - his histo
ry, from the time that he first become known
to the public—take all of it—examine it with
the most, microscopic minuteness'and it will
be'found that aetinics haveThectiregula
led by that single standard. Duty, to him, Um
star which guided his fuotsteps—hid of
fire by night," and h's - "pillar of cloud by day."
No threat could deter him; no allurement entice
him, from the direct path which led to its per
iormais,e. Truly characteristic of his whole
life, were his last words; the one idta that bad
absorbed all the rest, pr'operly found utterance
the last syllables to which his tongue gave
Utterance. 6 1115 countrymen will never-forget
them.—Richmond g.
Rine Fruit and Dysentery.
There is a pernicious' prejudice with which
people are too often imbued ; it is, that fruits
arc injurious in the dyilntery—that they pro
duce and increase it. There is not, perhaps,
a more false prejudice. Bad fruit, and that '
which is imperfecfy ripened, may oicasion . -
eh elks, end .sortioiimes- diarrlited— - but - nseei-•
epidemic dysentery. Ripe fruits of - all kinds,
especially in the summer, are the true preserva
tivesi against this malady. The g cutest., inju
ry'. theycdn do: is in dissolving the limners, and
particularly the bile, of which the 'are the true
solvents, and occasion a diarrhoea. But even
this (liar; Irma is x protection against the dysen
tery. Whenever the dysentery has prevailed, -
I have eaten less animal loud iiiiil more fruit,
and have iievi.r hau the slightest attack. I have ,--4
seen•elevert patients in one house; nine were
obedient to the direction g iven, and ate fruit ; a
they recovered. The,grandinother, and, a child
she was mast partial to, died,' She prescribed
for the child burnt brunityand oil, powerful ar
omatics, and forbade the use of fruit: She fol
lowed the same course herself, and met the like
fate. A minister, attackodwith dysentery, ate
three pounds of red currants between seven o'-
clock in the morning and nine - in, the evening
next day he was entirely cured.— Tisiut.
Somemen are always, in hot water, and arc
never on good terms with their neighbors.—
W hat is worse than to quarrel with a neighbor?
'1 he tooth ache is nothing to it. You cannot
bear anything from one of his family. If his
children aralin your yard, or on your fine°, they
must be driven away with hard wordi—poor in.
no . ient Mao things who Nava not learned the

SPEECH OF DIR. E. STANLEY,
Of North Carolina,
in the House of Representatives, Saturday,
July 6,1850.
The report of the Seleet'Committee, made on
'the Leter of the Secretary of War, concorni ng
the payment of the.Galph in Mini, being under
consideration,
Mr. STANLISY said:
I regret 'very meet], Mr. Speaker, that the
House refused to lay on the table the report of
the belphin Claini: I voted in a small minor
ity to dispose of this matter by laying it on the
table; and I did so with the view of emibling
the House to proceed with the public business.
The appropriation bills, which are indispen
sable for-the! support of the Government, arc
not yet acted on. California is still cruelly
kept out of the Union. Thousonds of laboring
then in stir country are begging us to protect
-them-from-the-effects-of the' British tariff "of
1846—a tariff which tve ore informed gives.
great satisfaction to England. Hundreds of
honest claimants are supplicating us to act
upon bills reported for their relief. All these
matters are demanding our attention, while wo
are wasting oar time in ridiculous efforts to
make, et. to prevent making. party capitid out
of the dolphin report. Let the Government
stand still—let,California_wait—let the British.
lion complacently smile at the folly of the A_
mericani. who, boasting of their freedom, are
inoking,themsdves as dependent on England
as If we were still her Colonies:-"-let honest clad-
Hors neffer—the Galphi n dein) alone demands
all our patriotic consideration. If gentlemen'
on the other side of this'Hall,-who have elected
their Speaker and their Clerk, Mid have-control

coming and proper that we look into other mut
ters of improper conduct among thuirfrientle,
But first, a few words on the Guiphin Claim.
I regret,.as every gentleman in the country
must, that the Secretary of war continued to
Set as agent of this claim while he IMld.,his
place in the Cabinet. It is a mutter of taste and
of delicacy, about which wo may differ,•as it
seems we do differ. But I think there is an
opinion nearly unanimous, that It was not be=
coming in Mr:Crawford to act as an agent of
this claim while he was in the•Cabinct. As a
member pl a party, his conduct-was inconsid.
crate, if not unkind, towards the other mem.
'hers of the Cabinet. But no honorable man has
imputed anything_clishonor.ble to Mr. Craw
ford. Ilia conduct has been unfortunate 'and
unwise, but his integrity stands fair and
peached.
The Whig party are no more to blame fur
this act of his, than the Democratic party is
for Mr. Van Buren's bad conduct, or for the
indelicacy or impropriety which marked the
conduct of General Cuss, in' obtaining sixty
eight tholisand &Pars for extra ollowairees,
which Congress never authorized to be paid,nor
for 'bie forming a company, while in the Cabi
net, to speculate in public lands. Neither the
.centust..cf—Mr—Cra wforri.nosof—Goir•Ca se. haw
been criminal. Both,, in my judgment, have
beer, unjustifiable. As Secretary of War, Gen„
Cass could have advantages which the citizens
of the country could not havq. He had oppor
tunities pfpnabling_his company to-monopolize
the choice tracts of land, to know when they
.would be in market, and then to raise the price
and sell them to settlers who were, compelled
to purchase. The Whig party have not en
dorsed, and Met, will endorse or sanction, Mr.
Crawford's conduct. The Democratic party
made General Cass them standard bearer, "tin
anointed and unanealed," with all these sins on
his hood. When They shout "Galphin, Galphin;
arc wo not justified in reairting, sixty-eight
thousand dollars extrivallowances-:.speculations
in public hinds? Ido not intend to assail Gen.
Cass personally. I only refer, to Well known
facts. No Whig, who haaany relf-respect, or
any regard for public opiiiion, will - violate all
the deeMiciee of life by °hor s ing' calumnies
,in
relation to. this gentleman. And be 'who im
putes dishonesty to either Mr. Crawford or Mr.
cuss, merits and , will.ieceivo the coplempt of
all fair-minded meta. They will both comfort
themselves With thi3)reflectiorr—

[Here is the article which Mr. S. had before
him:
From tild Augoata (Ga.) Chronicle and Sentinel.
THIP GALPHIN-CLAI IVI—MR. BURT.
You are requested topehlish, the following let.
ter. The original hut been Bent to Washing
ton :
WASHINGTON, 14th Auguot, 1848
"Dear Sir: I have the pleasure to say that
the bill in which you are interested has just
been signed by the Speaker clothe' House, and
will be approved by the President..
"With great Ircspect, your obedient servant,
"Dr. M. Uracrimt." "ARMISTEA D BURT.
Frail memories require remembraneera.—
•They are now aupplied,.becaueo they are re
freshing.
The bill for the relief of Galphin passed on
Saturday, the 12th of August. It was approved
en the 14th, (Sunday intervened.) Whose "heif
er wail ploughed" wills in' the meantime? The
"will" of the then,President was spoken of as
a "fixed filet." His approval Was known in ad
vance, or the guessing was so close a.; to have
astonished' the artistic skill of the East.
As ea dolphin of-tho-woods-and-n-wild—bour
of the sens," we subjoin the , following resolu
tion :
"That the claim of . the representatives of
George Grlphin Was not•ry est demand against
the United States."
Verily, "the pleasure of 1898 ueidified in
1850. It bad a vinegar twang; and fit of 1y for
common "pickling."
.In good anoth the "will" .ol the President
was pinched, in 1848, into an "approved" fortn.
In 1850 it has been enubbbd or smelted.
_Oddabodkins! Mr. Butt is clever on a con•
gratulation and tosolution. Let us be thankful,
and watch. Owns.]
Now, sir, it,does seem that the
. g . " milkman
South Carolina had informed the Presi
dent, Mr. Polk,:t;jhe merits of this bill.
Mr. BURT, (N/ STANLY the Boor
for •explanation) esired. to say a single• word,
and no niore. It was Faintly in hiS romeni-
Mance that tv:ch a-letter as the gentleman liom
Nertli Carolina hid read, was hastily• Written
by him ut his dealt in this Hall, for the purpose
- of Saving tho mail. But he considered it due
to the President to say, that he had never had a
.word with that high functionary on the subject,
and that ho had no peculiar means of infortna
lion. What lio,wiete was a mere expression of
opinion. -
Mr. STANLT. But the gentleman had evi
dently watched the progress of the bill with
interest. As Mr. PZ.lk had vetoed the Feench
'spoliation bill, ho might with as much pror.rie
ty have vetoed this; for Mr. Polk was Speaker,
if I mistake not, in - 1836; when the. Gelphin
claim was discussed inCeogress. The gentle
man froM South Carolina evidentlyymeght the
Claim en honest one then, for Ile raised no ob. ;
jection; as he might have dune. He seems to
have been acquainted With -the passage of the
bill, and informed his friend—the bill "will be
approved by the Prusident." The' inference is
irresistible, that L.." chairman of the Galphin.
committee had informed - Mr:Polk of the merits
of the bill :-that Mr.-Polk tholight the Mann
was just and ought to paid; and that he parse._
natty and officially approved the bill. '.,
_ Then, as far as Misfit a party matter, Mr.
Polk, who approved the bill, fir. Walker, who

_ -...-x............._r_.
man-of the select Committee, who - stands high
in the estimation of Iris party, who is chairman
of the Committee •on Military Affairs—these
three dieting" al:tiled democrats are as thorough
ly “Galphinized" ea any three Whigs can ho,
in or out of the Cabinet. Let it be particularly
observed, that in his testimony before the coin
-Mit tee, Mr.-Robert J. Walker said of the Gel
phin. claim; uthe facts being - of rt - peoldiar char
acter, the claim for interest remains an open
question." And he 100 said, "that if he enter
tained. serious doubts on a quiation of law, and
demanded the opinion, of the Attorney General
on that qUeetion, he would - abide by his opit.-
'ion." The attempt is now made to give this
matter a petty-aspect—to blame the Whig par
ty forit. 'The gentleman from Ohio, on the
Committee, [Mr. DISNEY,] has exerted his tat-.'
ents to the utmost on the question of interest.-
The gentle Man has signally failed in his drone
to justify Mr. Walker for paying the principal,
and to bldrne Mr. Meredith for paying the in
terest. The gentlemen, I take it, is no lawyer ;
Who ever studied law, ha,did so but a short

"Galphinizing" or not?
Take another case. Rep. No. 313, page 167: -
W. P..llarril was receiver at Columbus, Miss
issippi. The correspondence with him com
mence! in January 1834. In March, 1834, the -
Secretarj makes complaints of Harris'ls con
duct. In August, 1835, Mr. Wciodbury threa
tens to dismiss him. In the correspondence is
a letter from John F. H. Claiborne, dated Sep
tember 15, 1835, in-which he speaks of Harris.
as "one of the main pillars of tko Democratic
cause, and ono of the earliest and most distin
guished friends ofthe Administration in Miss
issippi. His family and connections are es.;
treniely influential, and all of than are co-op
erating with us in the arduous Wriggle which
we are now making."' Mr. Harris is represen
ted as•an honorable man, of "diffused and de
served popularity." This letter was sent by
Mr.-Harris to the Secretary of the Treasuryy_
or the Prerdnft.
In August, 1836—mark the dates—Mr: Har
ris writee'a letter to tho President, tendering
his resignation, in which he uses the following
'language which I read
"In conclusion, I will take the liberty' of re
commending to you . for appointment as my sue--
evssor, Colonel Gordon O. Boyd, of Attala co.
You are probably acquainted with his publio
eneracter, an he has been for several years a
promotent member of our State' Lsgiylature,
and has been ttroughout an ardent supporter of
your Administration, and an unyielding advo
cate of the principles of Democracy."
._He was also. recommended as-the--"warm -
personal friend" of W. Pv'Harris.
On page 184 of Rep: 313, is this short state
ment:
"Balance due from Mr. Harris, one hundred
and nine thousand, one. hundred and seventy
eight dollars and elg,ht cents—(slo9,l7B,oB."
So statement.
is Ibis "Galphinizing"--or only supporting
the principles of Democracy?
Is Ibis all? Nol quite.
In December, 1836, Mr. Woodbury commen
ces his correspondence with "Colonel Gordon •
D. Boyd," and continues not quite a year.—
Remember, Coronet Boyd was an "ardent sup
porter', of the. Administration, and -"an un
yielding advocate of__ the: principles of Demo°.
Vacy," the chosen succissor of General Hai'.
riiiL-his "warm personal friend"—of General
Harris, who "enjoyed such a diffused and de
served popularity," and was one of the."main
pillars of the D.lmoeratic cause." Well, what
wys the - result of --floyd's mppointmeht ?• In•
June, 1837, Mr: Gareshe, appointed by Mr.
Woodbury to examine the artairs of the office
in Columbus, reported as folleffs—and I call
the particular attention of the anti-Gelphin or
ators to it. Mr. Garesheeays to the Secretary
of the Treasury :
"The mart seems really penitent, antrl One

is this short statement: •
"G. D. Boyd is indebted filly thousand nine;
hundred and thirts.sesen dollars and twenty-
Moe cents, ($50,937,29,), us per last settlement
at the Treasury."
Is this" Galphinising," or only sustaining the
principles of Democracy ?.
Next is the case of Littlebory fPawklns, re

is this statement—
"Balance Jae from Mr. Hawkins, one hun•
