Corn Bread.

A few years since, half the bread eaten in
New England was made of corn and rye meal !;
now the majority of families see nothing but
wheat bread, except on very rare occasions, from
one year TO another. The farmers of the West
aud the planters of the South live on corn bread,
and sell their wheat TO u.s. because corn bread
costs only half, or ess than halt, as much as
wheat bread Yet there are thousands of poor
families in New England who do not know one
week where the next weeks supplies are to come
from, who would feel sort of degradation in
living on corn bread; and if they resort to it oc-
cssionally, eat slyly aud by stealth, tnat it may
not be known they are so poor as to live on In
dian meal. r.
There is a mistake in this There is nothing
more palatable than the corn meal properly
cooked There is a variety Of articles Tor the
table that may be prepared from il, that are
highly toothsome, and will be preferred to any
thing else by many people, almost universally by
the children Here is an opportunity for con
siderable economy and one at the same time
productive OF health. Let Indian meal be par
tally substituted for -four, and the expenses of
the table can be very sensibly reduced by this
one change Springfield Republican. r..i',.

SUNDAY LAW AMONG FOREIGN CITIZENS.
The Echo du Pacifque argues strenuously
against the Sunday law-that being, of all 9TH
ers, the day of relaxation to the great body of
the French people all the world over, and to
Germans and other foreigners as well. The
law in its operations, argues the Echo, will
bear upon the poor man, who does not receive
his salary until the eve of the day on which he
has been in the habit of resting from his labors.
He who has only Sunday in which to take his
bath and get himself shaved, will be obliged to
dispense with this element of health and we'll
being, while the rich man, who has at home
his own bathroom and servants, is obliged to
stint himself in nothing. The Echo regards
the law as undemOcratic-an unfortunate law
which monarchial government would not
have dared to produce in this century. The
French, however, will probably observe the law
like good citizens so long as it is operative, but
there seem to be cogent reasons why it should
be removed from the statutes-not the least OF
which is that there appears to be no urgent ne
cessity for it.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-10-15

said to be current in France, that the Emperor
Napoleon possesses the long-sought secret Of
the old alchymists Of converting the baser met
ais into gold; and this, say the French retailers
OF maryels, is the cause of his never-failing ex-
chequer. The place where this wonderful work
is conducted is unknown to all save Napoleon
and the workmen, who are never permitted to
leave the establishment after their initiation
INTO its mysteries. But some fellow, smarter
than all the rest, has discovered that "lead and
arsenic" are the materials used in the new pro-
cess of making gold. The world grows smarter
but not wiser. There are as many fools now
attempting to square the circle, discover the
fountain Of perpetual youth, and make gold out
OF dirt, as there were three hundred years ago.
