OUR CAPITAL LETTER. BY "ZINCO." M-AJOIt BÁRTTELOT-WHO IS IN THE RIGHT ? —A WILD CAMP —FACT AND FICTION- WHAT 13 SHE LIKE ?-YRS. PEARCY- RUDYARD KIPLING MORA USES—CASTE— TIIB YANKEE SHARK—" TETJTHS MISSION —TIVB LE ROI-THE RAREE SHOW AGAIN —KTJDIK'S LAST VOLUME—A BOUNTIFUL BABON—DON'T TURN BACK MONEY—A CHESTNUT—THE OLD STORY-A LINEAGE. We shall soon have a Stanley bibliography thieh will in itself form a not uninstructive history. A great degree of sympathy is at present felt for ^LAJOR BARTTELOT, I or, at any rate, for his family. Very piteous reading is his book as edited by his brother. The letters to his family are so manly and affectiouate, so hopeful— When I get hi>me," When I see you," and all the time the finger of Fate was pointing to when the clock strikes nothing." I suppose it is generally conceded that gallant soldier was "not the man for Galway." He was too impetuous, too undiplomatic, too intolerant—he could not, in fact, bring him- self down to circumstances. There must have been Irish blood in his veins. Stanley sailed for America Still veiled in mystery. He will not speak out until he oomes back— until all the others have published their little narratives, and then he will know his ground. Jephson's book is out, Bonny's is to follow, then one by Jameson's widow with her husbandi; diary and letters, and, lastly, one by Troup. We shall soon know all about it—too much, in fact. But when all is said that can be said, why, in the name of good fortune, did Mr. Stanley oontinue to keep Major Barttelot, and to give him a responsible command, when he knew he was so unfitted to deal with the untutored savage P It seems he disliked the major actively; all agree that he did, and the poor fellow himself constantly alludes to his chief's animus against him. Yet in Stanley's long letter to Major Barttelot's father he states that he loved his son. But we must remember that the letter was written while the writer could not but feel keenly for the bereaved parent, so he would be led to strain a point and, in a journalistic way, say a little more than be meant, I give this week a sketch by the accom- plished artist wbo has illustrated Jephson's book, Mr. E. W. Charlton. It is THE CAMP AT YAMBUYA. Mr. Charlton has executed his sketches from rough notes supplied to him by Mr. Jephson they add greatly to the interest of the work. Said Lord Wellesley to Justice Plankett, One of my aides-de-camp has written a personal narrative of his travels pray, what is your definition of I personal' ?" Well, my lord," was Plunkett's reply, we lawyers always consider personal as opposed to real." » A portrait of the perpetrator of a great crime has always a psychological interest. We like to see the sort of person capable of a terrible deed, and try and trace in the features and the expression some indication of the evil within. There is nothing indicative of relent- less cruelty in the visage of MRS. PBA £ CT, I and yet she is alleged to have deliberately fanned the murder and strangled the help. *rtwtyr<—but there, 1 am always wondering-if, supposing the State were ever to legislate for those born morally ] deficient, would Mrs. Pearcy have come i under that category ? A hundred police, I mounted and on foot, were in attendance at ] the funeral of the murdered woman. But for f this precaution, the husband would have been lynched. A friend who knew Mrs. Hogg before she married Hogg tells "me she was a sweet-natured, pleasant woman, clever, tidy, and well educated. She used to go out sewing, and was much respected. Rudyard Kipling, in a strong and original letter to the Pioneer Mail on The New Unionism, speaks of the optimism of the more educated, their insular narrowness and self-conceit. "It never," he says, seems to occur to 'em that the human instinct of getting as much as possible for money paid, or, failing money, for threats and fawnings, is about as old as Cain; and the burden of their bat (talk) is 'Me an' a few mates o' mine are going to make a new world. All this talk of caste, says Kipling, is just caste—caste 4,000 years old. All things considered, there isn't anything much older than caste-it began with the second generation of man on earth — but to read the advance' papers you would think it was a revelation from heaven. The real fun will begin-as it has begun and ended many times before-when the castes of skilled » labour are pushed up and knocked about by the lower and unrecognised castes, who will form castes of their own and outcasts ou the I decision of their own. How those castes will scuffle and fight among themselves, and how astonished the Englishman will be!" Mr. Kipling takes kindly to the American work- ing man. He thinks he is more independent. He probably is so, as the social barriers are less formidable in a republic, and caste has a weaker hold on the imagination. But if the working man of the States is a bit more self-dependent than his brother here, the Yankee swindler can teach our long firm a thing or two. The story of the Field swindle is not very complimentary to our cuteness. We fell an easy prey to THE YANKEE SRARX, I who by means of plausible oircularil and a little ground bait netted JC50,000 in a few months. A banking account on forged references was opened. When the smash oame, or rather when the game was up, the total assets were a few pens, some paper/and ink. The B. P. are very easily gulled. Just the other day an advertise- ment appeared in a certain daily offering ladies clerical work on receipt of sevenpence, I think. Mr. Labouchere, whose mission (and a very useful one) it is to run such scoundrels to earth, followed up this adver- tisement, and found the Literary Bureau was an address in a low tobacconist's, and that a young man merely called to receive.the letters, which every morning were numerous. He traced him to another address used for the same purpose, and discovered t&e heartless swindler was netting several |kM8nds a day. Truth is something more thacL a. sooiety paper it does good service in unearthing edu- cated swindlers preying on tho "helpless and weak, if -4- The London Stereoscopic Company are making Regent-street lively when dusk sets in. On a prominent first floor window, by aid of a strong electrio battery, the photographio portraits of well-known characters are shown, one at a time, and each remains for about twenty minutes, so as to avoid collecting a crowd. The series is called Familiar Faces!" Actors in chief rohs, politicians, and cele- brities of all sorts are thus placed en evidence.

Heads die, firms grow another—the Iring never dies. The firm of Mudie has been respeotably con- ducted it is, in fact, an institution we could ill want. If Mudie collapsed, so would the three-volume novel. What Mudie takes is always a point in the sale of a book. # Another good bookman of the same genre lis Baron Tauchmtz, the head of the great I Continental publishing firm, a hale veteran of 13. Next year the firm will celebrate its iubilee, for it was in 1841 that the Baton initiated his series of cheap editions of British mthors. The Baron, who was plain Herr Tauchnifz then, acted in an honest 'aahion. Had he chosen, he might have pirated the works of English writers from the first, for the reason that at that date no such thing as international copy- right existed. Instead of this, however, he tsked permission of the living authors whose works he printed, and honourably paid them their does and royalties. The baron's ances- tors have been booksellers and publishers for three generations, but the present bearer of the name has oonferred upon it world-wide fame. Baron Tauchnitz is a most accom- plished English scholar, and he himself selects the works which from time to time he publishes in the cheap and excellent form so well known to all Continental travellers. The Baron's procedure contrasts favourably with that of Harper in Amerioa. I said that America could teach us a thing or two in a certain direction-it seems like it. Mr. Rudyard Kipling gave the house of Harper in New York some MS. stories, or for their consideration. They returned them as rubbish" beneath their notice. The young fellow found another market, and the stories, as we all know, boomed. Then Harper made a selection from the colleotions and published them. In a letter they tent Mr. Kipling a handsome acknowledgment of £10, which the spirited young fellow returned. Mr. Sala, in one of his echoes, questions the wisdom of returning cheques—he never does. Once a inew York firm pirated a novel of his, and sent the usual pat on the head of £ 10— Mr. Sala pocketed the affront* hut did not acknowledge it. I j It is curious how a ohestnut" survives. It seems to die, when suddenly it is revived in some paper hard up for copy." It has probably been partially forgotten, so other papers copy, and it goes the round. Someone has been re-telling the old, old story of ourgra- cious Sovereign's first love, understood in "well-informed circ!ea"tohave been Lord Alfred Paget, the old beau and habituS of the green- room and clubland, who departed this life in the summer. His lordship had been a page at Court, and the two young hearts bad played a little tune together. Rude hands stopped the musio, and his lordship got some diplo- matio or other service abroad. Before he departed he performed the classic lyric v— I'U hang my harp on a willow tree I'll off to the wars again A peaoeful home has no charms for me, The battlefield no pain. The lady I love will soon be a bride. Witha diadem 011 her brow. Oh, why did she flatter my boyish pri(3« She's going to leave me now." Now, this absurd fairy tale is going the rounds again, consequent on the death of Lord Ellenborough, who is tacked on to it as the hero of the little romance; but, oh, no, it was Alfred And now his Royal love, her gracious Majesty, has no fewer than fifty descendants, including sons and daughters, grandsons and granddaughters, great-grand- sons and great-granddaughters. Besides these, she has four sons-in-law, four daughters- in-law, five grandsons-in-law, and one grand- daughter-in-law, She has lost one son and one daughter, five grandsons, one grand- daughter, one great-grandson, and one son-in- law. If these were living her family oirole would number seventy-four.

HE CAME HOME TO DIE; One day in December, 1888, a British transport vessel arrived at Gosport. Only a brief look was needed to assure the spectator that she had made the long voyage from India. There were soldiers on board; some on leave of absence to visit home, and others so worn and wasted that it was plain to see why they were come back from the East to the dear old Island. Of these poor fellows a few were able to go on to their friends, while others were just strong enough to bear the journey to the Navy Yard Hospital. Among the latter was one to whom we will in- troduce the reader.—You would have fancied him to have been about thirty years of age, yet the vigour and elasticity of youth were missiog.- Disease had done the work of time, and it ws but the wreck of a man that entered the Hospital doors that day. It was a matter for wonder that he lived to reach an English port. Several months later, bv accident, the writer of these lines heard that soldier's story from his own lips, and here it is substantially in his own words. In the year 1883," he said, I enlisted in her Majesty's 51st Regiment, which was soon ordered out to India, where we arrived on the following Christmas, and left there for Burmah October 6, 1886, where we remained eighteen months, being present at Mandalay when King Theebaw sur- rendered to our troops. Here my good health begin to give way. At first I had a sinking feeling at the pit of the stomach, and was so dull and drowsy I could scarcely keep up. I had pain in the right side and under the shoulder blades. My spirits were depressed, and everything seemed sad and melancholy. I couldn't eat, and lay in bed sleepless night after night, till I was almost wild for lack of rest. My skin and eyes turned yellow, as is so common with Europeans in India; my tongue was badly coatod, feet cold and clammy, stomaeh sick ana upset, vomiting and constant diarrhoea. In this bad form I lay in bed for four months in 1887. Both the Regimental doctor and Dr. Bel), of the Indinn Government, said I was suffering from dysentery. I was as weak as a baby, and passed nothing but slime from the bowels. No treatment availed to stop the diarrhoea, which was fast draining the life out of me. Finally I was sent home, and arrived at Gosport in December, 1888, where I lay in the hospital until February, 1889, when I was discharged as incurable, and placed in the Army Reset ve. I returned to Warboys, in Huntingdonshire (my home), and tried to work. But it was impos- sible. I was so emaciated that old acquaintances did not at first recognise me. Then they said, Hodaon, you needn't trouble to buy any more clothes. The only suit you'll loquire will be a wooden box.' "After eating even a little I was obliged to hurry away from the table because of the terrible griping, gnawing pains in the stomach and bowels. My father and mother were alarmed, and I con- suited a doctor at Warboys, but what he gave me had no good effect. "At last it was Mr. Nicholl, the chemist, of War- boys (now of Croydon) who said to me, Hodson, you bad better try Mother Setgel's Curative Syrup.' On this I bought a bottle and used it, but I couldn't see it did any good. Mr. Nicholl said, 'Try it again I have such confidence in it that I will give you the second bottle free of charge.' He did so, and before I had taken the half of the second bottle I began to feel relief. This was encouraging, and I procured the third bottle. Before I had finished it I was so much improved that I was asked to go back to work. But I was afraid to risk it, and said, No; wait till I have used three bottles more, for this Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup is doing for me wha.t no medicine in India'or England has done yet; it is healing me from the very depths where I was ill and dying. So, as you may suppose, I kept right along with Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup until the fifth bottle was gone. Then I presented myself to the astonished people of Warboys as robust, strong, and well as I was when I first entered the Army. I returned to my work, and my contrad's looked upon me a., one risen from the dead. With eyes full of wonder, they asked, I What has done this for you?' and I answered, 'I owe my life and health to Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and am willing that everybody in England should hear me say so.' I have never lost an hour's work since, and will gladly reply to letters of inquiry.—Johu Hodson. Warboys, Huntingdonshire." Mr. Hudson's real disenso was indigestion and dyspepsia, caused by change of climate, food, and habits. The diarrhoei was one of its symptoms- Nature's effort to get rid of the poisonous matters in the stomach and bowels. Mother Seigel's Cnrwtiva Syrup cured thi digestive malady, and the symptoms vanished. a necessary consequence. But our friend did not get the right and only remedy a day too toon. LC501

THE HOUSEHOLD. ; oi

THE HOUSEHOLD. o i V ON OMELETTES. rny "GWENYNEN GWYNEDD."] There is, perhaps, no dish which may be considered as coming under the denomination of a made dish of the second order which is so generally eaten, if good, as an omelette, and no one is so often in this country badly dressed. An omelette is a very faithful assistant in the construction of a dinner, either as a sweet or as a savoury, and it is equally useful for breakfast or lunch. It is quickly made, and should be served up and eaten also quickly, inasmnoh as an omelette is never good if allowed to stand, when it becomes tough and leathery. Our French neighbours are famed for their omelettes, and this manner of preparing eggs is partaken of alike by all olasses abroad, whilst in Eng- land, for some unaccountable reason, it is considered a dish for better class tables only. If taken by surprise by the arrival of un- expected guests, an omelette is most useful as an addition to the original fare provided for the home party, and it is, therefore, well to test beforehand the skill of the cook in respect of making it, so that the result should not be disappointing. The great merit of an omelette is that it should not be greasy, burnt, or too muoh done. If too much of the whites of the eggs are left in, no art can prevent its being hard if it is done. To dress the omelette the fire should not be too hot, as it is an objeot to have the whole substance heated without much browning the outside. An omelette should never be too thin; it is then too much like a pancake. To get the omelette thick is one of the great objeots. It should be fried in a small frying-pan kept for that purpose with a small quantity of fresh butter, Half the number of whites to that of the yolks is the right proportion, according to the size of the omelette required. Great care must be taken in the frying, even at the risk of not having it quite set in the middle. This is a better fault than letting it be hard. If the top is desired brown, a hot salamander must be used to brown it. Omelettes are called. by the name lof what is added to flavour them-a savoury omelette, a ham or tongue omelette, an an- chovy omelette, a sweet omelette, &o. Indeed, almost endless varieties can be made with regard to the flavours. Sometimes gravy is added to a savoury omelette, but as a general rule no substance which has been fried should be served with gravy, as what ought to be dry and crisp beoomes soddened and flat, If wished, either gravy or any sweet sauce or fruit syrap oan be handed separately in a sauoeboat, COMMON OMBLETTB. Take five or six egga, break them into a basin, and beat them well with a fork add a saltspoonful of salt; have ready two drachms of onion, some parsley, and a clove of eschaUot, all minced fine beat it well up with the eggs; then take 4oz.;of fresh butter; break half of it into small bits and put it into the omelette; put the remainder into a very clean frying-pan when the butter is melted, pour in the omelette stir it with a spoon till it begins to set; then turn it up all round the edges, and when it begins to brown it is done. To TAKH OUT THE OMELETTE. Put a hot plate or dish on the omelette, turn the pan upside down, take great care not to break it, and serve it on the hot dish. or place it on a hot napkin or another dish. Never cook the omelette till it is just wanted. OYSTER OMRLBTTB. Boil the oysters four minutes, take away the beard and gristly part, and add them to the omelette mixture instead of the minced onion. The oysters may be either put in whole or cut in bits. CHEESB OAISLBTTE, Grate some cheese (Parmesan is the best), add a little cayenne pepper, and season to taste. SWKR.T OMELETTE. Break and beat up the eggs as for a savoury omelette, add a little fine white sugar before put- ting the omelette into the frying pan, and add a good spoonful of strawberry or apricot jam. Proceed as for other omelettes. OMELETTE A LA VANLLLH. Proceed as above, but instead of the jam add a teaspoonful of essence of vanille and more sugar. Before serving the omelette sprinkle it well with icing sugar and brown with a salamander. A PLAIN OMBLBTTB Cut into bits and made without any flavouring is also sometimes used for adding to soup, or as a sauce for fowl with melted butter, and is much appreciated by some people.

REPLIES. TICKLING NASTURTIUMS. In the recipe given in the Household of October 25 the use of boiling "water" is recommended. Surely, this must be a mis- print for boiling vinegar." Nasturtiums make a capital pickH if cold vinegar is poured over them, and they are very quickly ready for use. W. H. G. CONSERVATIVE PUDDING. (Query No. 317.) Take 2oz. of fresh candied orange peel or £ oz. of oitron cut very thin, 6oz. of lump sugar, 6oz. of melted butter, with the yolks of six eggs-the last three ingredients are to be poured hot upon the orange peel and stirred till cold in order that the peel may not lie at the bottom; put a thin crust in your dish and bake it half an hour. This will be large enough for a party of twelve. GWENYNEN GWTNEDD. Take 21b. of ratafias and macaroons and 4oz. of sliced sponge cake, put them into a basiu and pour over them half a pint of boiling cream. Let them soak for half an hour, then beat them with a fork, adding gradually the yolks of six eggs well beaten in a wineglass- ful of brandy and a cupful of sifted sugar. Butter a plain mould, ornament it with dried cherries or any tasteful device pour in the mixture, cover it with buttered writing paper, tie it in a oloth, and steam it until it is firm enough in the centre. £ erve it out on a hot dish, and pour round it-not on it—a sauce made by boiling ilb, of sugar and a bay leaf in a cupful of water for ten minutes. SwRKTBlUATt. WINE JELLY. (Query No. 318.) I send "TRURO" an excellent recipe for port wine jelly-an excellent restorative for an invalid, and also liked at other times. If sherry or claret is preferred, it can be substituted instead. With claret, a little brandy may be added. Boil two calves' feet in two quarts of water until it is reduced to a quart tslowly); then strain it through a hair sieve; when quite cold take off the fat; add to this one pint of port wine; sweeten it to your taste; some lemon juice and a few cloves to be boiled up with it. A wineglass, taken either cold or hot, as a restorative. I GWENTNEN GWYNEDD, J All kinds of wine jellies are made the samei way. Soak l £ oz. of gelatine in 1A pint of water. Proceed as for lemon jelly, but use the rind and juice of one lemon. When quite clear, add pi-nt of any kind of wine. Thus if Madeira, the jellylwill be Madeira jelly f if port, the jelly will be port wine jelly, and o on. White ourrants in port wine jelly look* well; red currants, grapes, cherries, pieces of pine-apple, and dried French fruits may all be used with good effeot in all kinds of wine jellies, always remembering to put a little" liquid in at a time, to let it be nearly cold before putting into the mould, and to dip in" hot water for a second before turning out, and j then you will have no broken jellies. When the weather is very hot, a little more gelatine mav be used to make it firmer. DOEOTHY. APRICOT BRANDT. (Query No. 319.) s Take equal quantities of apricots and loaf sugar, and to eaoh pound of these about.. wineglassful of water. Put the fruit, whiplf must be sound, bat not quite ripe, into a pre* serving pan, with just enough water to coraiir them let them boil and then simmer gently until tender. Remove the skins, clarify and boil the sugar, and pour it over the fruit f leave it so for 24 hours, then place the aprU cots into glasses, and fill them up with syrap and brandy in equal proportions. Keep the glasses well oorked and sealed. The fruit must be kept »'year-before being used. HOMEBIRD.
