the Democratic Jubilee in New York city
over the result of the late elections, said;
But curious are the lines Of political de-
narration in this campaign Of 1862 Wher-
ever the New England columns of emigration
have travelled, mainly, solitary and alone,
from Massachusetts or elsewhere along the
northern counties of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois
and Wisconsin, there have been the columns
of Republican majorities, bat wherever have
been the columns Of the other emigratiou
in Southern New York, throughout all New
Jersey, in Southern Pennsylvania, in South
ern Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, there have
been immense Democratic mgorities Ap

Girls shOuIdbe TaughttO Cook

II the art of "plain cooking were better
understood, the masses of the people-the
bone and sinew OF the land, who perfom
most of the hard labor-would have vastly
better tables, at less cost of living. But the
art of plain cooking is not understood half
so well as it ought to be, and the consequence
is that we live worse, and at greater cost
than we otherwise would. But how can we
expect anything else, when our daughters are
to great extent, even in the country, so
theoretically brought upl How many mothers
fail in this respect to practically instruct their
daughters in all the duties of housekeeping
cooking and baking in all their branches,
as well as in the most ecopomical saystem OF
management in the household Especially
is this the case in villages where factories
abound, wherein are employed large pro-
portion Of the young women of the place.
How much do they know of housekeeping,
when they come to get married What do
they know of cooking Absolutely and lite.
