Horace Greedy, who as an Editor exercises
more influence on the Republican mind than
any other in the Union, thus gives his delib-
crate opinion that Lincoln was not the man tc
be nominated, and the reason therefor:
"And now. when all the world is raining
boquet on the successful nominee, so that, he
were not very tall man, he might stand a
chance to be smothered under them; when
thousands are rushing to bore him out o.
house and home, and showing him white with
letters, and trying to plaster him all over with
their advertising placards, |, who knew and es-
teemed him ten years ago, ,reiterate that think
Judge Bates, to whom | never spoke nor wrote
would have been the wiser choice. | say this
knowing that his nomination would have fallen
like wet blanket on nearly the whole party
that thousands would have sworn never to sup
port it, and that counter nomination would
have been got up or seriously thrertened. But
kept my eye steadily on the fact that the
first and only summer election that is to be held
in State that we could in any event hope to
carry is that of Missouri, where the Republicans
all earnestly desired the selection Of ftheir loved
and honored fellow citizen, and where.thousads
not Republicans were ready and eager TO coop
crate with them in case OF his nomination.
do not know that they could have carried their
State in August: but they confidently thought
they could, and would at all events have made
desperate effort. And that effort, even though
defeated, would have shown a result most in
spring to Republicans everywhere, and especi
ally propitious to the Free Labor cause in Mis-
souri,"
BY the time the campaign is ended, the Re-
publicans will find out that Horace was right.
The nomination of Bates, although it would
have driven off Giddings and a few other fanat-
les, their place would have been more than
supplied by old conservative Wings who would
have rallied around conservative man. Lin
coin is as obnoxious to this class as Seward
but has not the same hold on tho affections OF
the ultra Abolitionists. They think Seward
honest, and have doubts ofLincoln.-Nat Dem

what's n Ladyi

A great deal Of argument is going the rounds
respecting the title Of lady and the name Wo
man. The expression lady" is so much abu-
sed, that without being in the least hypercritI,
cal, have long since become profoundly DISCUS
ted with it, and infinitely prefer the sweet, un-
pretending title Of true woman. If we could
but sift the chaff from the wheat, abrogate all
the self styled clad es," there would be no OBJ
ecting to the tile; but ministers Of grace, de-
fend us from some la lies Of the present day,
who do not even know why q woman should be
so called A lady must possess perfect refine
ment and intelligence. She must be gracious
affable aud hospitable, without the slightest de-
gree OF fIssiness. She must be Christian, mild
gentle and charitable, unostentatious, and do
ing good by stealth. She must be deaf to scan
dal and gossip. Her high sense Of honor will
forbid her prying into her husbands secrets,
searching stealthily his porte monnaie and pock-
cts, and breaking open his letters. She mnst
not disdain kindly nod Of recognition to her
servents, seamstress, dress maker, butcher, ba-
ker or other enlploye she may chance TO meet.
! She must possess discrimination knowledge
of human nature, and tact sufficient to avoid OF
tending ones weak points, steering wide OF
all subjects offensive to any present. She must
look upon personal cleanliness and freshness Of
attire as next to godiness. Her dress must be
in accordance with her means, never dressy or
fashy, but. if possible, composed of the best
material. Abhorring everything like soiled or
faded fnery, or mock jeweIry, her pure mind
and clear conscience will cause the foot Of time
to pass as lightly over the smooth brow as ifshe
stepped on flowers, and, as she moves with quiz
ct grace and dignity all will accord her,,nstinc-
lively, the title of lady If had time and
you patience, could present the other ysw Of
the case, looking upon this picture and upon
that. But when one constantly comes in con-

The Instincts of the Heart

| Madam Lenormand, the widow of the great
printer and publisher Of that name, has just
expired in paris at the age Of ninety four She
had for years continued in the business of her
husband, and her house was the first in France.
Among other works she published the mem
ors of her celebrated namesake, Mile Lenor-
mand the fortune teller, to whom Napoleon
gave one hundred thousand frances and in whom
he placed implicit faith. Both lived in the
same neighborhood and one day confusion ori-
gnating in similarity Of name, gave rise to
the following anecdote, which gives good
idea of the character Of the estimable woman
just deceased.
A young girl trembling with emotion, evil
IDENTIFY laboring under great distress Of mind,
was introduced by the servant into Madam
Lenormand'S study.
"Oh! Madame" exclaimed the young girl,
"you who read the future, com to my help"
Madam Lenormand looked inten.ly for some
time at the trembling girl, then, after asking
few Insignificant questions, said in an i'm
piesoNe toiiO'
"You have fed from your fatehr's house?"
"Alas yes!"

"The future--this is the future After dis.
honorng you, he will leave you, abandon you tc
many and poverty-leave you to die OF shame
and grief Despair and sorrow will send your
father to his grave. This is the future"
Then putting her arm around the poor child
she spoke words Of affection and reason, till hei
mind became calmer and then, when the tears
began to flow, and the feversh excitement o
passion was abate1 she ordered her carrirgt
aud took her home.
"You are indeed a prophetess-nothin is
hidden from you-the present, the future"

The Washington correspondent of the Pha-
deIphia Press has the following in regard to
the Cabinet of Mr.. Lincoln. AS specimen Of
counting chickens in the egg, it is worth print
ing:
"Carl Shurz, Of Wisconsin, the eloquent Ger
man, through whose efforts the anti Know No
thing resolution was adopted, insists that Mr.
Seward must be Secretary of State, or he and
those he represents will not be satiefied. 1t is
said that tie vote Of Pennsylvania is counted
upon by the conciliation of Cameron, with the
assurance that he will be made Secretary of the
Treasury, for which his friends conceded the
Vice Presidency 10 Hamlin against Hickman
1t is also SAID that New Englands representa-.
tive in MI Lincoln's Cabinet will be the Presi-
dent OF the Convention, MIR. Ashman, OF Massa-
chus It's. A place is to be reserve for Cover
nor Chase OF Ohio, whilst Henry s. Lane, oil
Indiana the present Republican candidate for
Governor in that State, will be provided for in
the event of his defeat, which is considered
probable. Frank Blair OF Mssouri,is talked Of
as certain for the Attorney Generalship, and
New Jersey is to be made enthusiastic for the
ticket by the prospect OF her favorite son, vii.
liam L. Dayton, becoming Secretary of the
| Navy"

The cracked cocoa is the best, but that which

Shells are apt to be musty. Try quarter

Salt goldfish should be kept in dry place,
where the odor OF it will not affect the air OF
the house. The best kind is that which is
called Dun from the peculiar odor. Fish skin,
for cleaning coffee, shauld be washed, dried, cut
small, and kept in box or paper bag.
Soft soap should be kept in a dry place in the
cellar, and should not be used till three months
old.
Bar soap should be cut into pieces of con-
yenient size, and left where it will become dry.
1t is well to keep it several weeks before using
it, as it spends fast when it was new.
Cranberries will keep all winter in frkin

Potatoes should be put into the crllar as soon
as they are dug. Lying exposed to the sun
turns them green, and makes them watery.-
Some good housekeepers have sods laid over
barrels of potatoes not in immediate use. To
prevent them from sprouting in the spring turn
them out on the cellar bottom.
To thaw frozen potatoes put them in hot wa

water. Neither will keep we'll after being be

so beautiful as pure heart-a heart through
