JEFFERSON DEMOCRACY.

Future HousekeeperS.-We sometimes catch
ourselves wondering how many of the young
women whom wesmeet with are to perform the
part of housekeepers, when the young men who
now eye them 50 admiringly have persuaded
them to become them wives.
We listen to those young ladies of whom We
speak, and hear them not only acknowledging
but boasting of their ignorance of all house
work duties, as if nothing would so lower them
in the esteem Of their friends as the confession
of an abilifyso bakelbread and pies, or cook a
piece Of meat, or disposition to engage in any
en- ployment Speaking from our own youth
full recollection, we are free to say that taper
fingers and lilywhite hands are very pretty to
look at with soung mans eyes, end some
times we have known the artless innocence of
practical knowledge displayed by young Miss
to appear rather Interesting than otherwise.
But we have lived long enough to earn that
life is full of rugged experiences, and that the
most loving romantic and delicate people must
live on cooked or otherwise prepared food, and
in homes kept clean and tidy by Industrious
hands. And for all the practical purposes Of
married life, is generally found that for the hus
band to sit aud gaze at a wife's taper fingers
and lily hands, or for wife to sit and be looked
at and admired, does not make the pot boil OF
put the smallest piece of food in the pot. e,

Education m Tmkcy-The Boston Atlas
gathers from late English work some facts in
regard to the diffusion of popular instruction in
Turkey, which will probably be new also to
many of our readers. In 1916 a council was
formed, by imperial decree, for the manage
ment of all questions of prblic instruction, and
the supervision of the new university. The
state of the primary schools under their charge
is of the most satisfactory description. Ele-
mentary instruction is not only free but oJligd,
tory! The law requires every citizen, as soon
as his sons and daughters have reached their
sixth year, to inscribe his name in the books
of one of the public schools unless he can prove
his means Of educating them at home. In
Constantinople the most recent report shows
the existence of 1876 free schools, frequented by
22,700 children of both sexes After five wears
passed in one of these schools, the pupil can en-
ter a secondary school, where instructions on
all points is also gratuitous.
There are now six of these schools, with a.
bout a thousand pupils. There is also high
school for young men intended to fill public ap-
pointments, college founded with the same
view, asnormal school for the education of pro-
fessors the imperial college of medicine mil
itary, naval and an agricultural school. The
Sultan is himself the superintendent of these
schools, and visits in person at their examina-
tions. The fppilsare said to be ,devotedly at
tached to hiin The public libraries of Con-
stantinople contain $4,000 volumes. During
the reign of the present Sultan, protection and
federation have been extended to all RELIGIONS
Christians have been permitted totake their po-
sition among the servants of the state, and share
in the administrat:on of public affairs; some
have been attachedeven to important embassies.
Old abuses in levying taxes have been done a
way with monopolies have been abolished. A
national bank has been established, and is now
in successful operation. Railways are in course
of construction. Pologamy is on the decrease;
and, in short, the Ottoman Empire promises 10
lvesand flourish, if it can be kept from the op-
pressions of the Russian bear.

tercourse over the whole West, wherever rail-
road or a steamboat can penetrate. 1t is, of
course our interest to scatter the products of
our workshops far and WIDE and to practice ev-
cry fair means of attraction which will bring to
us purchasers for the fabrics of our foundries,
our machine shops and other factories. 1t
would be absurd to draw a geographical line
beyond which we should refuse TO extend COM
mercial facilities, and invite commercial inter
course, unless indeed we are prepared to limit
likewise our mercantile ambition, and the growth
of our prosperous city.
Amo.g those whose trade is advantageous to
our city are the citizens Of Tennessee, with
whom oar intercourse is now large, and is rap
idly increasing. We now have lines of steam
boat packets running regularly to Memphis, and
to Nashville which are well sustained, besides
numerous transient or occasional boats running
from this port TO the various towns on the Cum
berland and Tennessee rivers; and we are advi
sed that new line of steamboats, is about to
be established and on which the boats will be
put as soon as the river rises, to run regularly
from our CITY up the Tennessee river. Various
connections of railroad between Cincinnati and
Tennessee, at Nashville, Knoxville. and Mem
phis, are all in contemplation, aud these are SO
important to all the parties proposed to be con-
cerned in them, and to the whole country, that
they cannot fail to be speedily constructed.-
Our present intercourse, therefore, with that re-
gion, is such as to invite the immediate atten.
ton of our Merchants, and all others interested
in the prosperity Of the city, while the prospec-
tive advantages are so immense, that 1t would
be irrational to treat them with indifference.
Your Committee win only add that the banks
of Tennessee, whose notes are proposed to be
made current in our city, are not new institu-
tons, bat long established, and Of well known
credit In the opinion of your Committee, they
ere solvent, and prodently managed banks,
whose notes may be safely taken. A statement
of their situation accompanies this report.
Resolced, Plat it would be greatly to the adj
vantage of the Merchants, and others doing bu-
siness in this city, to increase the amount Of the
notes Of solvent banks. passing at par: and that
we believe the notes Of the Bank of Tennessee,
the Planters Bank of Tennessee, and the I'm
ion Bank Of Tennessee, at Nashville, with their
Branches, to be as good as those of any other
Western Banks
ResOIred, That we cordially recommend to
the Banks, Bankers, Merchants, Manufacturers,
and dealers generally, in this city, to receive and
pay out the notes Of the above mentioned Banks
at par, in the same way as the notes OF Ohio,
Indiana and Kentucky are now received.

THE DEATH OF GRIMES HEN.
BY MICHAEL srEINHoPPER

st last the speckled hen has gone
That hen of hens the best;
She died without sigh or groan,
While in her downy nest.
Thro, summers heat and winters snow
For ten long years she lay,
at noon and eve, old Grimes an egg,
But none the Sabbath day.
She had nest behind the door,
All neatly lined with hay;
Her back was brown and sprinkled Ger
With spots ''inclined to grey"
Though fourteen years of age almost,
She still looked young and hale
And like Jobs turkey she could boast
One feather in her tail
The neighbors' fowls did all agree
She was good old soul;
She sometimes roasted in tree,
And sometimes on pole.
Whene'er the rain came pelting down,
And thunder dreadful roar,
She hid herself in Grimes hat,
Until the storm was DER.
She lived plain and honest life
No higher wished to rise:
She flew at neighbor Simpsons wife,
And scratched out both her eyes.
She never deigned the barn yard beau,
His face to look upon,
And loved but one, whose long shrill crow
Was heard at early dawn.
An aged cock who oft had told
His descent with a sigh,
From one that crowd when he of old,
His master did deny.
When poor old speckle closed her eye,
He jumped the fence and cried
He bid the poultry all good bye,
And then laid down and died.
Kind reader now wen drop tear
To Grimes speckled hen;
1t is too true, we ne'er shall look
Upon her like again.
