.....4ND TELL YuJa WIFE.

'"s, me only way is, to tell your wife
just how YOU stand. Show her your bal;
ancc-s!.rct Let her look over the Items.
You think it will hurt her feelings. No, it
will not do any such thing. Sho has been
taught to believe that money was with you,
just as little boys think it is with their fa,h-
ers-terribly hard 10 DO reached, yet in.
exhaustible. She has had her suspicious,
already. She has guessed you were not so
prosperous ms you talked But you have so
befogged your money affairs, that she poor
thing! knows nothing about them. Tell it
right to her, that you are living outside of
your income. Take her into partnership,
and I'll warrant you'll never regret it. There
may he slight shower at first, but that's
natural.
Let her see your estimate, when you
come home again she will show you that
you have put her bills too high. True, she
had rather a costly bonnet last winter, but
it is "just as good rs ever; n few shillings
will provide it with new strings and rcft it
littlc--the shape, she says, is almost en-
actly as they wear them now" And you
will be surprised TO see how much less ex-
pensivc she can make your own wardrobe.
She will surprise you with IL new vcst-not
exactly familiar, somehow, looking as if in
another shape you had seen it bcfore-yet
new as vest, and scarcely costing dollar
where you had allowed five. Old crava,s
will experience renovation in her hands,
coming out SO rcjuvenatcd, that nobody but
those who are let into the secret would sus.
pcct That they arc old friends in new shapes.
The dressing gown tha! you were going to
buv-out of what forgotten chest she has
gathered the material you cannot imagine
but there it is, comfortable and warm, and
just the thing you waited for the long
winter evenings that are coming on as fast
us the almanac will let them.
You will find wonderful change i'll her
tastes and appetite. Whereas, she always
fncicd what was little out of season, or
just coming into markct-now if beef is
dear, she thinks boiled mutton is delightful
as tender rs chicken. If lambs rise, and
fish arc plenty, she thinks n striped bass,
or Il fried sole good occasionally.
Before you have thought much about it
you will find yourself spending most oi
your evenings too, so full of Domestic CHI
joyment, and frcsIo pleasures, that you
will look with wonder OH the record Of last
years expenses, and marvel that you found
time Of relish for the costly entertainments
that seriously taxed your pocket. If too
like many, your outgoes threaten 10 exceed
your incomes, bc sure and tell your wife o
! it. Not in tone or manner that will leat
her to think you don't want her to buy
what is really necessary for winter, but jus
as if YOU wanted a counsclo, i'll tue day o
your trouble. And if she docs not com,
up heart and soul, and most successfully
to your relief, put me down for III
prophet.

THE WHISKY TRADE.

/: The enormous increase i'll tho manulac.
.turo Of whisky in tho West, rs well as in
our own immediate neghborhood, within
the past few years-the particulars of which
we have from time to time publishcd-is
attracting considerable attention at pres
ent, on account of tho purposes 10 which
the product is applied. Much the larger
portion of it is manufactured into alcohol,
tho shipments of which to France have
boen enormous, rs the readers of our daily
freight list will have perceived. A Cincin-
natl daily paper states that one day last
week 10000 barrels of alcohol were sold
to house in New Orleans, intended for
| shipment to France. A considerable guam
tity Of the alcohol made here is employed
in the manufacture of camphene and the
various burning fluids in domestic use !;
bu, the greater part is exported. 1t is con-
jecturcd by many that the alcohol we ship
to France, is returned to lis again, branded
as pure " "Cognac" or genuine Rochelle
| brandy. To certain extent, this is doubt
less correct, so far at least rs brands of
questionable reputation arc concern cd !;
! but We do not suppose that tho brandics
are adullera,ed to any greater degree now
than formerly.
1t will be remembered that during the
scarcity of brcadstuffs in Europe, while the
Crimean war was pending, an edict was
promulgated in France prohibiting the dis
liliation of spirits from grain. This edict
has continued in force ever since, and hence
the extraordinary demand for our alcohol
for shipment to that country. 1t is en-
ploycd extensively in France i'll tho manu-
facu:ure of perfumery, and for burning
purposes. 1t is used also to a considerable
extent to fortify wines, and it is likewise in
troduccd into the inferior qualities of brandy.
| But the well known standard brands Of
Coynac and Rochelle brandies stand as
high in the markets of the world to-day as
they have ever stood. The extreme jeal-
ousy and rivalry existing among the princi-
pal manufactures is a sufficient safeguard
against the extensive adulteration which is
surn:iscd. We should as soon expect to
| iud that the noted Gencssee millcrs would
suffer our ordinary State flour to so abroad
bearing their brands, rs to find the celebra.
ted Cognac manufacturers would allow thciI
reputation to suffer by placing their brands
upon inferior qualities of brandy. Tic
great scarcity Of brandies i'll France, owing
to the failure in the grape crop last season
will doubtless induce experiments in adul
tcration but there is every reason 10 be
leye that the standard brands will main
tain their previous character.-N. Y. jour

the creation of tile universe upon the basis
of the nebuIar hypothesis, embracing the
eternal fire. theory as one that can he sus-
tained. It is not intended that the cyl
denee in favor of The centre of the earth
being mass of fire is Of positive nature,
as in that case the reasoning would cease
to be hypothetical. But the evidence for
the affirmative is regarded as accumulative,
and to such degree that it has been con-
sidered by a vast majorityzof the scientific
world as almost conclusive. Even admit
ting what is alleged as tie cause Of the
high temperature Of springs and mines, it
is argued that itcby no means follows that
to the same origin may be traced the source
Of ue fire poured from the bowels of the

The terrible storm which began here on
Sunday afternoon continued with uncx-
ampled violence until last night. 1t also
extended for great distance in every ..di-
rection, reaching from the seabord to the
lakes, aud from the Potomac to Canada
The cold of Sunday we think has not been
equaled, in this region at least within the
present century. All along the northern
frontier the mercury went down ten, twen-
ty and thirty degrees below zero, and at
watertown, in this State. the quicksilver
frozo up at thirty-seven below, while a
spirit thermometer marked forty-degrees
below zero, or seveafy-t,oo degrees below
tho freezing point. The 'oldest inhabi-
tant" is beaten at last. He cannot recall
the equal Of the cold Sunday Of 1857
In and around this city tire snow began to
fall on Sunday afternoon, and continued
with little intcrmission until Monday even
ing. The depth cannot be ascertained be-
cause of the drifting, but would probably
be at least foot. No railroad trains ar
rived or departed yesterday, consequently
no mails were received. Harbor ma viga-
ton is difficult and dangerous. while the
sound is completely shut up. The ferries
work slow and irregularly, in consequen &C
OF floating ice. We hear Of some wrecks
and loss of life on tho Jersey coast, but
having no reliable communication, are un-
able to give particulars. It Is more than
probable that we shall have terrible ac-
counts in day or two. As we write, at
IL o'clock Monday night, the sky is clear,
the wind fresh but not very heavy, and
the temperature reasonably up.-N y

ness was arcport from the State Auditor

Banks. substantially as reported by US last
week. The resolutions of the House in
dictate prompt action to punish the Audi
tor and to secure the note holders.
