York Herald says that Gov. Wells, about the
first of July, really msditated coup d. etat,
including the consumption of his gubernato-
RAJ functions and the rehabilitation in official
dignity OF the wnole horde of ex-Confederate
omciais. The meeting of Congress defeated
the design. t-A1-
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Times says that it is asserted, on most
reliable authority, that the Cabinet is divided
in opinion regarding the propriety of urging
Stantons resignation any further, or of sus-
pending him under the third section of the
Tenure of Office bill, which could be done
without ing public the reasons therefor
until the assembling of Congress.

Mr.. EDIToE In reply to your enquiries
have to say that after going through series
of careful experiments, we have come to the
conclusion, that for economy, flavor, cleanli-
ness and nutrition, this new steam cooking APP
paratus cannot well be overpraised. fi-.aY
Only one thing we have not tried, that 9th
ers have, who report fayorably, and that is,
huddilng fish and meats into the same dish
and cooking them all together. To this we
have natural repugnance-but may come to
it by and by, having verified SO much. Yarg
Meanwhile. the result of our experiments
may be stated in half dozen words-more or
less-we cannot do without the invention in
our household and would not for ten times the

his willingness to accept. During his la.e Wis

have expressed himself quite unreservedly on
political matters. He Endorsed the Congress
ional policy very emphatically. Unless, there
fore, he intends to take Stantons place, no
only as Secretary of War but as an oppose
of Johnson's schemes, it is probable that tn
