iThe Star of Empire.
The next national apportionment,
founded upon the census of 1880, will
show that there is more truth than po
etry in the saying, ,f Westward the
course of Empire takes its way." Kan
sas, Nebraska, Iowa and Oregon jfrave
gained largely in population, since the
last census was taken, and in the new
apportionment will claim an increased
representation in congress. It will
probably be shown that the south has J
made but little progress, as compared
with other portions of the union, m j
her efforts to secure immigration. If ;
the exodus of her colored population
continues, this will have to be deduct
ed from her credit and added to the
states which receive it, thus making
the discrepancy very marked as be
tween the old condition of things and
the new. A single instance may be
recited in proof that a great change
is to be wrought. Nebraska, with an
estimated population of 400,000, has
bn one representative, while Tennes
see, whose population js pUt, down in
the census of 1850 at 1,258,000, or
only a f taction over two-thirds more
population than Nebraska, has ten
representatives. Tennessee has prob
ably fallen off in population, so that it
can easily be seen that the next ap
portionment, in its recast, will correct
existing disparities, by which the
preponderance of gain will be found
to be out of all proportion in favor of
the west.
Breakfast Table Talk.
Names often go a great way in de
ciding likes and dislikes. A French
man invited a friend to partake with
a "fricassee of boned robbins legs."
The friend pronounced it exquisite,
and determined to introduce so de
lightful a dish at home. Imagine his
disgust, his upheaval of feelings, on
happening to gather from a remark of
a servant that he had eaten a fricassee
of frogs' legs. Recently, when break
fasting at a l 'boarding-school," the
young ladies were helped to a dish
called "custard fish'' or "fish custard,"
and they seemed to like it. Though a
nice steak was offered us a visitor,
his curiosity prompted a request for
some of the "custard tish." The first
taste showed that it was his favorite
preparation of salt codfish. There is in
many families a decided repugnance to
the use of codfish ; it is considered
plebeian, as only fit for those too poor
to have anything better. Yet it is
one of the most wholesome, nourish
ing foods, is economical, and if rightly
prepared, is very palatable. It sup
plies excellent nutriment both for the
brain and muscles. An eminent lite
rary friend used to s,n$ that, as his
wife prepared ic he wanted it "eight
mornings in a week." In purchasing
codfish, it is wftl to examine them
carefully, and select only those of
nniff. r,W tliTOiicrliniir. and having
'. "I
no tainted odor at any point. Those
nf niiulinni wp nro nreferable the !
or medium size are preieraoie tue
Btnallcr ones being too skinny, and the
larger ones too coarse grained.
T'lero
is now generally obtained what is called
"bone-iess codfish," at a slightly j
higher price, yet cheaper as compared
with meat or most other fish. From
those well cured, the vertebra and
chief bones, the skin and fins are re
moved, and only the clear white por
tions are pnt up in boxes a nice ar
ticle readv for immediate use. A jrreat
... jc i i, -,
point in preparing codfish is to have it
well soaked to remove all excess of
salt, clear through. Two or three
waters siwuiu oe usea. ic is oest to
pick it finely, pour off one water, and
let it stand in plenty of fresh water
over night, or several hours. If too
fresh, which is seldom the case, salt is
easily .-dded. This through soaking
after it is picked fine, makes a marked
. . . . : .
differeiice in its flavor.
For custard fish, boil the soaked
fishin water until tender; then pc
the water off and pick it verv fine:
, , . - , , ". .
jiu-vc reuuj a ijuaii in jiuii iiiiik ior
three buarters of a pound of fish, and
put into it the fish, and a tablespoon
fui of butter; stir until it boils; and
stir in well a tablespoonfui of flour,
and cook it fire minutes. Let it cool
a little, and then stir into it two well
beaten eggs without further cooking.
For nice fish-balls, soak the fish in
water for an hour, and repeat this
twice; boiling water toughens it.
Pour off the last water so as to leave
it nearly dry, and chop it fine in a
chopping-bowl. Mash the boiled po
tatoes separately, and mix about one
part of fish with two parts of potato,
putting in about a tablespoonfui of
butter to a quart of the mixture, and
adding salt if needed. Make into
balls or cakes. This can be done the

iile.m uwu.w. -- J " .. vittjsjjlld,
using only enougli to keep them from
sticking to the pan. Some prefer !
them fried swimming in lard, but
thev are less digestible. If the balls
;ire first dipped in beaten egg, they
will take up little of the cooking fat,
and are very good. When well made!
thus, they are palatable, easily digest
ed, and nutritious as well as economi
cal. Jccree of the Court,

Having heard a great many different
versions on Judge Shat tuck's opinion
on the license law, and some of tlie.u
not very flattering I take the liberty to
present to your notice a different ver
sion to that arrived at by our protest
committee. I think the Hon. Mr. Ex
iudge has acted in n very impartial
Honorable manner; as he says, the law
is written as we find it; our represen
tatives in the legislature made it; and
the only way out of the difficult- is by
an nnpeal to the legislature to undo its
w'orlv. Again he ;avs: I could lind
annunenLs ami reasons enough against
' these laws proper for a legislature to con-
"not" find argument, against these law

nor why the opinion of .Judge Shattuck
was not accepted I must say I cannot
comprehend. Whereby talcing our case
knowing we would in 'nil probabilities
have to carry it to the supreme court of
the United States, and whether wc
(rninni! ry tc Oianncn ln n'niilrl Vim CllT-n

J aml Riving the opinion against his in-

ai,e miin xow the only way to graple
J this .thine is to organise.. This thing of
payyour license money under protest,
but keep your protest dollars m your
pocketjuntilsuch times we can organize
our union Willi responsioie nitm t iuc
head of it, and then we will know we
are standing on solid ground. Then
and not till then should we invest one
dollar towards protesting this license
law.
I have no doubt there are gentlemen in I
town we can elect as officers who will
he willing to give us good security for
oiur nimiev as the union will be a bene
fit to all pntipprnod in the fishing busi
ness as the cannerymen will know then
who takes charge of their gear.
I think Saturday Iay lOtli would be an
appropriate time to call a meeting, for
the purpose of selecting officers, and a
committee to make necessary arrange
nipnts. r dtnulrl think about seven.
or half-past seven o'clock, at the Court
nouse, so Mat it win not nueriere wuu

necessary to call a general meeting, but
of those who are in the immediate vi
cinity. RoiJEItT MAHRIOTT.
