Garihaldi and the CretaRsS

Garibaldi, q the Italian patriot, is
growing FESTIVE under the influence OF
the reports of Turkish barbarities in
Gambia, and longs to draw his sword
In defense of the Cretans. An Athens
correspondent of the Levant Herald,
under date of November 13, says that
two detachments of his disbanded le-
gionaries are already moving In the
direction of Gambia, one having al
ready reached SYRIA, and the nucleus
of larger one having landed at Pr
r8us. Garibaldi is also alleged to
have offered his sword in their behalf,
in the following letter, addressed to
Madame=Dora d Istria, the well known
Greek authoress, who is agitating,
both at home and abroad, in favor of
the movement:

be speedily followed by larger num-

What Shall we do with our Corn? IS

"A~e NAAAA w NO WAbE VuF OUEns
Under this head the Chicago Jour
nal has an article showing the absurd
lty OF transporting corn to the East,
and back again to the West in the
shape of starch, and urges, very pro-
perry, the manufacture of the article
in the West where the material re-
CURED is so plentiful as to be used for
fuel. The argument of the Journal
can be extended indefinitely. Why
should our. wool be carried East at
great expense, and be brought back to
us in the shape Of cloth? Why should
our lumber be transported to the East
and brought back to us in the shane
of furniture and implements? In
short, why should not everything we
use-the material forI making which
we of the West have in abundance

Mr.. Bayard Taylor's opinion ON this
subject is thus expressed in the Independent:
For the finishing Of rooms there is moth
ing equal to the native wood, simply oiled
to develop the beauty Of the grain. Even

the dreary white paint, SO common in the
best Of houses, looks dull and dead. Moth
ing gives . house such cold uncomfortable

The color is only fit for the tropics. Our
common wood-pine, ash, chestnut, maple,
and butternut-offers variety Of exquisite
tints Of 6brous patterns, which. until re-
Gently, have been utterly disregsrded in
building. Even in furniture We are just
beginning to discover how much more chaste
and elegant are oak and walnut than ma
hogsny. The beauty Of room is as de-
pendent upon the harmony Of its coloring
a. that Of picture. Some Of the ugliest
aad most disagreeable apartments have
ever seen were just those which contained
the most expensive furniture and decora-
tons. My experience shows that . room
finished with the best seasoned oak or wall
nut, costs actually less than one finished
with pine and painted and grained in imita-
ton Of those woods. Two vsrandahs Of
yellow pine treated to two coats of boiled
oil, have Q richness and beauty and color
beyond the reach Of pigments; and my only
regret connected with the house is. that
was persuaded by the representations Of
mechanics, to use any paint ct all.

hold, which we copy for double purpose:
First, to show the men that their wives
have multitude Of cares, Of little details
to look after-generally far from items than
occur in mans business pursuits; and
second, to perhaps in some cases to indicate
household details that they may not have
thought Of before:
sMuch waste is experienced in the boil
ing, etc. Of meats. Unless watched, the
cook will throw out the water without let
ting it cool to take of the fat, or scrape
the dripping pan into the swill pail. The
grease Is useful in many ways. 1t can b
burned in lamps mixed with lard: Or, when
no pork has been boiled with II, made into
candles. When pork has been boiled alone,
twill do to fry cakes, If cleansed. Again,
bits Of meat are thrown out, which would
make hashed meat or hash. The -four 10
sifted in wasteful manner, or the bread
pan left with the dough sticking to it. Pie
crust is left, and laid by to sour, instead Of
making . few tarts for tea. &c. Cake batter
is thrown out because little is left. Cold
buildings are considered good for nothing,
/ when often times they can be steamed for
the next day. or, - in case of rice, made
over in other forms. Vegetables are thrown
away that would warm for breakfast nece-
/ ly. Dish-cloths are thrown down where
mice can destroy them. Soap is left in
water to dissolve, or more is used than is
necessary. II bath brick, whiting, rotten
stone, etc., are used, much is wasted use
lessly. The scrub-brush, is lett in water,
pals scorched by the stove, tubs and bar
rels left in the sun to dry and fall apart,
chamber pals allowed to rust, tins not
dried, and iron-ware rusted; nice knives
used for cookin in the kitchen; silver
spoons are used to scrape kettles, or forks
to toast bread. Rinsings Of sweetmeats,
and skimmings Of syrup, which make good
vinegar, are thrown out; cream is allowed
to mould and spoil; mustard to dry in the
pot, and vinegar to corrode in the cellar /;
tea, roasted coffee. pepper, and spices, to
stand open and lose their strength. The
molasses jug loses the cork, and the dies
take possession. Sweet meats are opened
and forgotten. Vinegar is drawn in ) basin
and allowed to stand until both basin and
vinegar is spoiled. Sugar is spilled from
the barrel, coffee from the sack, and tea
from the chest Different sauces are made
too sweet, and both sauce and sugar vast
ed. In many other ways q careless and
inexperienced housskeeper will waste,
without needing the hard earned wages Of
her husband; when she really thinks-be-
cause she buys no fine clothes, making the
old ones last, and cooks plainly-she is .
most superior housekeeper. The next time
an unthinking husband is disposed to be-
severe because some triding matter has been
neglected, he should put that in his pipe
