FLORA MoFLrdsEY. "A New York editor

Il woman can wear she does not wear clothes

of what propriety and decency require; that

The Memphis Avalanche says of "the
doctrine of popular sovereignty" as advoca
ted by Judge Douglas and his supporters
No wonder it is stigmatized as beggarly
cheat and absurdity-a mean and disgusting
policy to swindle the South of her rights.
It adds insult to injury, for its mocks and
derides the just claim of the STAKEHOLDER and
tantalizes him with visionary feast which,
like the fruit of the dead sea, turns to ashes.
It is snare and swindle, full of mean
cunning, rank injustice and insolence. 1t
would be far better for the South to yield al
once to open, honest Abolitionism and sur
render all claims to benefits in the common
Territories The doctrine of the Wilmot
Proviso robs the STAKEHOLDER of bis consti

ECONOMY IN FUEL.

"While economy is the order of the day,
it may not be amiss to point out an item of
which it is believe general ignorance pre-.
vails. 1t is well known to philosophers that
when water commences to boil in the open
air, no additional fire can make it any hot
ter. A contrary opinion prevails, and those
employed in cooking victuals, in order to
accelerate the operation, think that they can q,
not make the fire too intense. The fuel
added for this purpose is, in fact, not only a
wanton waste, but by causing violent
ebulition, it forces from the vctuals with
its steam its finest flavor. How much fuel
in families might be saved if, in cooking,
no more were used than to keep the water
that is used just at boiling point, and it is
certain the victuals would be better for it"
From a paper of 1925,
And how much worse, by the rapid boil
ing, to evaporate all the water, then to add
cold water to keep water upon meat or vege
tables. When water is once at boil, 1t
requires very little wood to keep it thus,
whereas cooks think the rapid ebullition
causes it to cook faster. Remember when
water boils, the thermometer show 2l20 and
impossible in an open vessel or kettle tc
raise the thermometer the least, therefore
increase of fire is waste of wood, unless the
the object is to reduce the quantity of water,
and then it would be cheaper to put it II

BRAVE GIRLS Two little children, Alice

Table Rock, once so conspicuous at Niagara
Falls has quite disappeared, and the face
of Goat or Lunar Island has also much re
treated. These facts justify the presump
ton started by practical geologist that IN
ten or fifteen Thousand years hence, the
rocky ledge which now causes the falls viii
be worn away, and the water will descend
in series of rapids, similar to those which
characterize the St. Lawrence. The idea
that the falls will so soon cease to be objects
of interest, will no doubt have depressing
effect on hotel property thereabouts-a cat
astrophe fearful to contemplate.

AN ITALIAN ScENE.-The Florence COR
respondent of the Newark Daily Advertiser,
writing of the proceedings of the Tuscan
National Assembly, when the decree was
adopted, deposiDg the sHapsburg' Lorraine
dynasty, says:
There could not have been present less
than three thousand persons, of both sexes,
drawn from the flower of the population Of
Tuscany. The long report, which set forth
the reasons why the family of Leopold
should no longer reign, was listened to with
respectful attention. This finished, the bal
lotiug, by process somewhat new to me,
commenced. This lasted half an hour
When the result was announced, aud it was
found that tho vote was unanimous against
the regime of tha Austrian Duke, there was
universal demonstration of applause; snch
as it was impressive to witness Deputies
and spectators shouted and clapped their
hands, many of them rising upon their feet
while the whole immense area of the hall
was a scene alive with movement, the men
waving their hats and the ladies waving
their handkerchiefs, and the presiding officer
adding to instead Of reducing the excitement,
by agitating, with great energy, his bell, in
vain endeavor to restore order. The
sound of rejoicing was echoiug through the
courts of the old castle until it reached the
square without. The waiting crowd took up
the note and sent it back mingled with the
music Of military bands. As these sounds
subdued to faint murmur by the thick
walls of the building, reached the ear Of the
audience within, the effect was not withou
a certain solemnity. 1t seemed like the
great popular sigh and aspiration for liber'
Ity which is now swelling the Italian breast

SUMMER IS DEAD.


BY MRs.R. J. LEwIs.
Hush tell it not to the flowers and trees;
Whisper it not to the birds and breeze
Let not the blossoms of crimson and blue,
Hear the sad tale, though its burden be true
Summer is dead
Hush for the sea has suspended its breath,
Fearing to catch the FIRST summons of death
And the bright clouds that are passing away,
Fain must drop tears could they hear what you
say
Summer is dead
Aye! though her mantle Of glory is still
Spread over garden, and meadow, and hill,
Though the rich bloom hath no touch of decay,
And the bee tolls through the long sunny day,
Summer is dead
Aye it is ended From forest and glen,
From cities alive with the conflict of men,
From the grass at our feet from tho now silent
bird,
From earth, sea and sky, in our spirits is heard
Summer is dead
So much of her glory and gladness is left,
We sigh not as those of her presence bereft;
Her crown and her garlands unfaded are hung
Where they dropped when aside they were care.

Summer is dead
