The Independents have elected their entire coui ty and Legislative tickets in Folk, Washington, Was co, Douglas and Columbia counties, and have elected portions ot the ticket in Multnomah, Lane, Linn, and probably other counties. It seems to stand about thus: The Democrats have elected their entire State ticket ; thcliidepeiidents have elected their entile Judicial ticket; the Legislature is so divided that no party can claim a majority, and therefore neither party can control it. 1 1 i-JJIIILU Pop Corn Pudding. -ioak 2 quarts of freshly-popped corn in 3 ints of sweet milk, over night. When ready to bake, add 3 well beaten eggs, a little salt, and sugar to taste. Bake like a custard pud ding. French Caki:. 3 eggs, 1J cups of flour, 1 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon tul of baking powder, 2 tablespoon fuls of mill w.'tter ; fake in two pie- pans, split while hot , and spread be tween the following custard : pint sweet milk. 1 tab'espoonful of corn, starch dissolved in a bit of the milk, 1 egg well beaten : when it comes to a boil add !, cup of sugar, cup of butter. Lemon to suit the taste. To Cook Kick. Tlie following is the method recommended by the French Academy for cooking rice during the siege ot Paris : Take one cup of rice and one-fourth ot a cup of water in a saucepan, cover, and place o vera good fire; after an hour the water will be evaporated, and the rice cooked tender, hut dry, with grams distinct, not in paste. Sufficient salt should be added, iu the first place, and care should be taken not to disturb the rice while cooking. By adding a little butter and allowing tlie rice to dry a little more over a gentle tire, a more del icate dish is prepared The Boston Medicul Journal says that rice cooked in this manner, which is the same as that employed in the East ludies, bears the same relation to the indigestible paste of the New England kitchen as does bread to tailed flour. Utilizing Fruit Cans. when it if considered bow many hundreds ot thousands of tin cans are used for the preservation of all kinds of the finer vegetables and fruits, and thrown away when the contents are exhausted, it becomes an important economical question, can the casta ways be reclaimed for any valuable purpose ? By punching holes in the bottom they may be used as Dower pot". But perhaps a better use would be to convert them into little homes for that class of birds who make their nests in hallows the bluebird, wren, English sparrow, etc. by having a protection strip ot t n soldered on the end oposite the mouth, with holes punched in the end or ends of the strip, so that the cans may be nailed lengthwise to trees or sides of buildings. If so bright as to frighten Urds, they may be painted in dull colors, or wrapped in brown paper or cloth until occupied. Thus many thous ands ot homes may be made more cheerful by songs ot birds, and lawns, gardens, vines, etc., be re lieved of worms. Will agricultur al and other papers give currency to (lie suggestion if approved. N. Y. Qlmrver.. The races over the La Grande racecourse have been indefinitely postponed.. Announcement will be made when they are to occur. Troubles aw like dogs; tfct mailer they are J more Utey annoy you. FINANCE AND COMMERCE. Hold In New York, UiH. liegni traders, 89(i90c.
