TUESDAY......... -August 6, 1878. The Interrupted Wake. TWO FAMILIES CLAIMING THE SAME CORPSE. A singular dispute as to the identity of a drowned man has given the coroner's office no little trouble. On the Slst ultimo the naked bedy of an unknown man was found in the East river at the foot of Grand street, and was removed to the Morgue. On Thursday Michael Stapleton, of 35 Monroe street, claimed the body as that of hisson. He said that on July 28, about half-past la.m., he had seen the de- ceased sitting on the back stoop of the front building, which was the last he had seen of his son alive. The foliowing day he had made in- qguiries at the several station bouses, and last ‘Tuesday night he identified the clothing which had been found on the dock at the foot of Mar- ket street as belonging to his son. He had heard of a body having been found on the preceding night in the East river at the foot of Jackson street, and another son wentto the Morgue and identified the remains. This tes- timony to the mind of the coroner seemed conclusive as establishing the drowned man’s identity, and he granted a permit for the re- moval of the body to 35 Monroe street; but yesterday Julius Welch, a German, appeared and claimed the body as that of his brother. As the first claimant stated that his son weighed over two hundred pounds, and the body under disput Possibly reach that weight, M h’ ims seemed to be the most rat The body, however, had been “waked” for two successive nights by Mr. Stapleton, considering the body that of his son, and when his right to the corpse was first questioned he became highly indignant. The by mutual consent, was stripped from the body and then Mr. Stapleton. became con- vineed that his son was a much larger man, and that he had identi‘ed the wrong body. Mr. Welch, on the other hand, was positive that the body was that of his brother, and after a hard struggle Mr. Stapleton consented tosurrender the remains. Another difficulty, however, interposed as to who would defray the undertaker’s expense, Mr. Stapleton pro- testing that he would not pay for waking the wine corpse. Mr. Kenn the undertaker, also laid an embargo upon the body and de- cided to hold it in trust until such time as he was remunerated for his trouble. The case was left before Coroner Woltman, and he de- cided on having the body removed to the morgue, where both parties have been notified to attend this morning, when the question of the corpse's identity will be officially settled.— LY. ¥. Heral Okra—Gumbo. Okra is a vegetable that is slow in finding its way to the garden and the tablein the uorth- ern states, while in southern families it is in very general use. The plant is much like a large Holiyhock, with yellow flowers, which are succeeded by angled pods, six inches or more long, and over an inch thick. The pods, when so tender that they will break, are very mucilaginous, and give off, when cooked, a large amount of gummy matter. If they begin to mature, they become woody, filled with hard round seeds, and quite unlike anything edible. Though 1n the catalogues, the plant is called “Okra or Gumbo,” the name Gumbo poet belongs to the dish prepared from the pods, rather than to the plant itse.f, as the southern cooks make Gumbo without the use of Okra, but substitute the pith and young leaves of sassafras, one of the native violets, and perhaps other plants. The best Gumbo is made with chicken, though yeal and other meats are sometimes used, and is merely a stew made thick by the use of an abundance of Okra pods. Gumbo soup is any soup to which sufficient Okra is added to give it_ the desired thickness. The young and tender pods, boiled and dressed with melted butter, are liked by many, but they are rather too gummy for those not accustomed to them. A dish made of the Okra pods and tomatoes stewed together, is also prepared. One cor- respondent inquires if we know of any method of preserving Okra by canning. We have not known any attempts at. canning the pods, but they are often dried; the pi f{ the proper age for cooking, are sliced, strung upon a cord, and dried in the same manner as fruit. They are also packed in salt, just as cucumbers are, and when wanted for use, are freshened in cold wate!

Yesterday her brother found her at 153 Lewis street, livin with a man to whom she said she was married. The mother in wrath apposted in court when the case was called, but as the couple had their marriage certificate, Justice Flammer said he could not interfere.
