will not materially reduce the general yield. The most

needed. We hope, however, that this difficulty
will not prevent our treads from saving all their wheat

IMPROVED BUcKwHEAT CAKEs.-The

by adding little unbol ed wheat, or
Graham -four to the buckwheat. Less
than fourth will do; mix with cold
milk-or water will answer-putting in
small quantity of soda Or yeast pow

the effervescence, and as the paste rises,
It will bake-thus preventing it from
falling Hence the eliminating point of
lightness is attained. The batter rises
white and beau iful, and the cake swels
to undue dimensions, the lightest and
tenderest that can be imagined. Cakes,
made in this way, can be prepared At
any time, and on the shortest notice.
SUPERIOR GRAHAM BREAD.-One

THE CATHOLIC PREss AND SLAVERY.
AT tie outbreak Of the rebellion,
Brownson's Quarterely Review was al
most the only advocate of an Auti-Sla-
very policy among all the Ca holic jour
mails. The great majority of them we're
violently opposing every n,i-Slavcry
measure Of the Government, and acting
in concert with the ultra Peace faction
of the Northern Democracy. But the
progress of the war has wrought among
them several conversions. The Cincin-
natl Telegraph, the organ of Archbishop
Purcell, was the first to come over to
to the Anti-Slavery party, and to admit
and even to urge he necessity of abol-
ishing Slavery throughout the Jni.ed
States. Its example has recently been
followed by the Universe, the Catholic
paper of Philadelphia, hitherto violeur
Democratic and Anti Administration
sheet. lu late issue this paper admit.
'ha the peace Of the Republic demands
the abolition Of Slavery; that the na,
ional current in favor of Emancipation
grows steadily stronger aud has become
Irresistible, and shat it would be absurd
to attempt to oppose it.

THE DEMOCRATIC e. FAMILY.-The
men who are uarsi,alied under Lee and
the men who are opposed to Conven-
ion in Maryland, belong to tho same
family. They are both intent upon the
same end !; they take different means,
under different circumstances, to accoui-
pllsh he same thing. They are both
opposed to the Government. Ever,

Wis aud his clan in Richmond and should
the measure be defeated, the impudence
aud .nsolence of the horde Of rebel syln-
pathizers in this S,a,e will be largely
increased. There are no fears of this
result, only through the lukewarmnes'
Of its friends.
