Select a white, close cauliflower- er, and after cutting of any unde- sirable green leaves put it ina pan of salt (about a tablespoonful) and water. Leaveit in water two hours. Cauliflower so often con- > tains worms and slugs that this precaution is uecessary. The salt and water will cause insects of any kind concealed in the heart of the vegetable to come to the surface of the water- Wash afterward in fresh water, -ie up in a thin cloth or a_ piece of white mosquito netting. The pre- vents it from breaking up in the pot or when lifting in and out. Pat into boiling water with a pinch of salt. Bvil until tender. TO PREPARE THE SAUCE. Take one pint of milk, a piece of butter half the size of an egg; let the milk come toa boil while you fix a desert spoonful of flour to a cream with a little cold milk. Add a little salt and a dash of nut- meg and pour into the boiling milk; stir constantly while it boils fora minute or two. Pour over the cauliflower. COLD SLAW WITH DRESSING. Select a heavy white winter cabbage. Cut it in halves and cut out the stalk; slice into fine strips until you have a sufficient quantity; cover with dressing, mixing tin thoroughly. Durkee’s | Prepared Silad Dre<sing is excel- lent for this purpose and always ready for "se. ORANGE CUSTARD. Peel from fvur to six oranges and halve them, taking out the white pait in the ceuter; cut into very thin slices, taking care that no seeds are retained. Place in a glass dish in layers, covering each layer with pulverized sugar. Over the whole pour a cold boiled custard and set inthe icebox until ready for use. This makes one of the most delicious dessert dishes and is very easily prepared. BOILED CUSTARD. Put apint of milk ina small, thick saucepan; beat two eggs light; when the milk boils add to it a tiny pinch of salt—as much as will go on the end of a penknife—and pour it, not more than a teaspooutul at the time, to the egg, beating always. It yon have no double boiler, pour the custard into a pitcher, which stand in a saucepan, with boiling water to reach above the custard. Sweet- en with sugar and flavor with va- nilla. Stir the custard constantly tll it be ins to thicken, then lift the pitcher for afew seconds out of the water, stirring it all the time, then return it , remove it thus two or three times just at the boil- ing point—the obj ct is to cook the egg thoroughly w.thout letting it curdle. Now, au egg cooks just under the boiling point, but if it boils it curdles. The cause of thin custard iy that in the tearotits boiling it is nut allowed to cook, but is removed as the first sign of thickening, but ifit is taken off then for a few seconds, and return- ed again again, it will be kept just off boiling and the egg will thicken the milk as it cooks. When thick as good cream tase the pither from the fire, pour the. custard back and forth into a bowl. This will pre- vent eurdling and save the long| white attorney the other day, he stirring to cool it. ee i THAT LAWYER. There lives a Lawyer in this town, Who is not yet quite settled down ; Aman that craves for great re- nown, Who sometimes makes him- self a clown, And thus is not a man. °*Twas now unto this city came Of purity, a gentle dame, Whose virtue no man would defame ; She was a lady, Of which she made the Law- yer claim, Whilst drunken, he said : “You are the first one iu this, town, Who ne’er bent to me of renown,” As he did quickiy swallow down A glass of beer sir ; And thus he made himsalf a clown, I do declare, sir. Now this dame, as all ladies should, Reported him soon as she could ; For she bad come of goodly blood, This bear in mind Sir: A lite of virtue she pursued, And one refin’d Sir. And now two Editors this heard, And high their noble hearts were stirr’d, At the Lawyer’s act absur.l, And wrote about. ’Tis said the Lawyer at each word Was nearly routed. But after awhile ’tis as they tell, Thought he would take it fore Judge Snell, Aud methinks, thought he he would do well, Against each champion, And thetwo went each likea swell, Without a cramp on. Now when the Judge the evi- dence Heard ’gainst this Lawyer so im- mense, He did, as ev’ry Judge of sense, The case, dismissed it; Aud ’tis said the Lrwyer hence, Has been quite twisted. R. E. Forp. JOE BUNKERS BUDGET. MORTGAGBD BY THE BEE, The city of Washington can boast of having as fine a set of colored lawyers as any city in the Union. Of course in Law as in otber pro- fessions and callings, there is always au element which neither adds credit nor honer.to it; that grand est of all professions whose seat is the bosom of learning, has many otf this element in its rauks. There’s many @ natural born fool who re- mains a fool despite the fact that he has been dipped in a weak solu- tion of accomplishments, and who is paraded before the public as somebody when he knows in his heart that he is the worst grade ot intellectual nothing. There are some little fellows a- round Washington as_ elsewhere who are burdened with the title Attorney at Law, who dou’: know Law enough to keep themselves warm and who are a positive dis- grace to that honorable and ancient profession. Men who resort to sharp practice, and petty tricks to advertise themselves, geuerally get more advertising than they are willing to pay tor. In theology we find spiritual bummers and dead beats, who live by their wits and who impose upon weak minded women with their lying and oily tongues. In Law we have the shy- ster who is ably assisted by a class of men known in law as procurers ; these fellows sing the praises of the legal wrecks they represent, and induce many upfortavates to fall in- to their traps. These fellows will take any case that comes without regard to the complications sur- rounding it, or the guilt or inno- cence of their clients. Their object ve point is the fee; that once secured, their client need have no fears about not getting justice. The Prosecuting Attorney for the Government guarantees to give Scripture measure always and Invariably succeeds in meting it out to the victims or these sharpers. In a conversation with a prominent said to me “Mr. Bunker, Jadge Snell is very auxious to break up this gang of curb stone Lawyers who hang around the doors of the Police Court button-boling and tampering with witnesses and defendants who have business with the Court, but as there ia no provision of law by which these men can be reached, he is powerless to act, otherwise he would sit down on them heavily.” I said to him that the only remedy I saw for the evil (and it is an evil, which effects every reputable Law- yer in the District ot Columbia,) was for respectable members of the bar to unite in a petition tothe Committee on the Judiciary for some legislation which would have the effect of driving these human carrion birds into other fields of op- eration—possibly Law I had been informed that there was a law which prohibited any person or persons from soliciting patronage for attor- neys, but that it was not in force in the District of Columbia, whether or not the law against procurers i. e., people who entice others into disreputable places for a consider- ation, would apply to these fellows who entice people to patronize one lawyer to the detriment of another, and invariably get their clients in jail, was yet to be ascertained. I however, have some doubts as to the val.dity of that law, and am of the opinion that a law with a punish- ment to fit the crime, is the only and the surest way to break up the rep- rehensible and disgraceful practice which finds favor in the eyes of those who are directly benefitted by it. My triend assured me that he would call the matter to the atten- of his honor, Judge Snell, at an early day and would invite his co- »peration and support in a move- ment looking to the enactment of a more vigorous law on this subject than is found in the present District code. I started out today something about our leading Lawyers and di gressed from the subject by shoot- ing at the lawyers by Brevet. Seat- tered over this great country are thousands of meu who have gradu- ated with high honors from Law S-hools and Colleges and yet we can count on the ten fingers of our two hands without finishing the count, all the Lawyers in the United States. The desideratum for a great lawyer and a great statesman ora great orator, {s brains, and lots of Hoss sense without these two necessary elements he becomes 3 great failure —a succeésful faifure and goes to the beated bh nce with a feeling of remorse and regret, not unmingled with disgust with the mutations of this uncertain life. Now there area few very promising honorable gentlemen who practice before the various courts of this District and who by close applica- tion and bull-dog tenacity, (this inelegant expression will be par- doned, I hope) have succeeded in establishing confidence in their a- bility to cuncsientiously and hon- estly pursue their professions. I have in my min«’s eye that old veteran, Capt, O.S B. Walland J. Harry Smith, who has more uard practical sense in one hour than some men are able to acquire iu ou year. Emanuel M. Hewlett, Exq.. coufessedly one of the most brilliant attorueys without excep- tion, who has ever practiced in our Courts, a bigh minded and consei- entious geutleman, an untiring student and a good fellow general- ly. Milton M. Holland and Hon. Juo. H. Smyth, Esq. who if he devoted bimself to crimnal practice would doubtless find himself over- burdened with cases being as he is, an eloquent talker and an able law- yer. These gentleman represent the progressive element at the Washington Bar and this is said in uo disparagement of the youngsters who are still unkuown to fame. I aiu’t going to struggle with the truth by making great mén out of great uobodies. That’s what’s kil- ling the colored race; there are too few privates in the ranks too many Douglasses and Langstons “and Braces. SCR ET Holmes ii ouse.
