The Opposition Conventions 20 meet the 18th Of

whether victory Is possible under the lead Of the

candidate Of the united OSPssiion, We desire to be

declare his willingness to support at the bidding of

they nominate none but true men, because by that
obedience man yields meSe personal preference
for harmony Of action in the service of his country.

that man at the bidding of Convention, IL is o

Wholly selfish and unworthy.
John Bell is our first choice as Bates is of the
FatriOi; but we are ready to support any man who
has proven himself by his ability his integrity, and
his patriotism, COMPETENT to- fill the Office OF Presi-

constituted, persuade or force to support any
man for that high Office whom we conscencously
believe to be unworthy. 1t is conduct the opposite

Europe.

The battle of ideas goes on in Eu
rope. Men are taking their positions,
either for the usurpations of princes
or the divine right of the people. In
parts of Southern Europe the tcndcn-
cy is toward popular enlranchisc-
ment. The Italian masses instinct
lively respond to the call to assert
their manhood, wherever there is the
least chance Of success. But in Cen
trail and Northern Europe cloud ap-
pears. The privileged upholdcrs of
dcspotism are uniting to stay the
progress of liberal principles. The
frigid absolutism of the North infuscs
its dread power into the weaker oil
garchies, bordering upon it, for Tho
purpose Of bringing Europe aGair
into its former state of suhjcction
and it is reported that the constitu
tional government of England vii

The Cuisine Art.

The pcrvcrsion of the good things
of Providence in this country by bad
cookery is monstrous. 1t is one Of
the great sins Of the day, calling for
reform. There are hundreds Of fami-
lies, spending freely for table sup
plies, who have not the least idea
what a good, palatcaOlc meal is. All
the West abounds in the most tender
and delicious beef, and yet there is
not one western man in ten who
knows the flavor of beef. lie thinks
it is about like pork, only 4 little
tougher. He has always eaten il
fried up to the consistency Of sole
leather in salt pork fat, and on the
whole he prefers the real pork. No
wonder. If hc should eat q steak
properly cooked lie would be over
whclmcd by new sensation, and
would be puzzled to tell what animal
it came from. In coffee the sin
against nature is still worse. There
are not probably twenty public houses
in the Union where real coffee has
ever been made. Even if the peas,
the chickory and other vile mixtures
arc avoided, the coffee is 50 concoctcd
H., e "a,
Of thin mud, and all the cream in the
world will not bring it to the lively
golden hue and delicious flavor that
distinguishes genuine coffee. The
woman who can make good coffee
and bread, and cook a steak right,
has got the essentials Of the art
of cuisine, and may he trusted to
perfect herself in all the miner details.
The puddings, the pastry and the fan
cy work are all easy after the first
great principles are mastered.
This may seem a waste of words
over a small matter to those who af-
feet to despisc the vanitics of this
life, but we believe no greater benefit
could be conferred upon American
women and girls than to instruct them
in the culinary art. The comfort and
health Of every family is greatly de-
pendent upon the wisdom and skill
exercised in the kitchen.

Changes of weather have been more
sudden Tornadoes, unprecedented in
fury, have ravagcd almost every part
of the country. Our Western from
tiers have been parchcd and blightcd
by burning simoons. While one sec
ton is rcaping bountiful harvest,
another views its crops cut off by the
lack of vivifying showers. Terrible
storms and gales have swept our in.
land waters and the seabOard. Fresh.
cts and inundations have ravagcd the
country i'll various quarters. Meteors
of unusunl splcndor and size have
burst in upper air. Comets have
brandishcd their fiery trcsscs. The
Aurora has Haunted its banners of
crimson and pearl in the northern hcav-
ems with unusual brilliancy. We
have had rain storms, lightning, hail
storms, a gale Of wind, sunshine and
variation Of 90 by the thcrmomc-
ter in single day. The predictions
Of the wcathcrwisc have been falsi,
fed the astronomer has been dumb
founded, and the almanac is at fault.
Is there not here a magnificent field
for the man Of science? Who shall
explain these things, trace out the Sc
cret agencies at work, and show the
causes Of the phenomena Of 1860?
