Household Helm.

The question is being discussed, as to how
family Kitchen help is to be obtained. 1t is
said that female help for performing housewsrk
is yearly growing more difficult Of obtainment.
Less than half century ago, American girls
entertained no greater dislike to employment
as family cooks, and to the performance ofgen-
eral household work, than to school keeping,
or working with the needle. The pecuniary
Involvement, governed in the. choice of these
several employments. OF late years, the prac-
tice of American girls, ''going out to service"
Gas it is termed, has become entirely obsolete.
Ninety-nine out of every hundred American
young women, would in these latter times,
suffer almost any nameable privation, sooner
than take employment at good wages in re-
spectacle family. An aristocratic and peryer-
ted public opinion, excludes from what is
termed good society, any female who per-
forms service in q kitchen, not in her own
family.
At present, almost the only family female
help obtainable, is from the foreign popula-
ton. But it is stated that even here, there is
an increasing repugnance, to being employed
as kitchen help AS the foreign population
increase in wealth, the young women par
take of the American prejudice, against ego
ing out to SERVICE" and acquire American
tastes, as it pertains to the respect ability of
particular kinds of work. So then the help
from foreign sources, is likely to become more
and more abridged. What then is to be the
ultimate result? Where is family help to come
from? These are questions which are being
agitated with considerable solicitude in some
of the public journals. A paper in one of our
eastern cities, suggests a method of relief,
which has been applied to cooperative labor
In other departments, and therefore not alto
gether new. The remedy proposed is this -
1T is for number of families to furnish q
JOINT Kitchen, and put it in charge off cook
ana steward, both the best that can be OBJ
| tanned, and both well paid. The former would
nave charge ofthe lower servants, the latter
| OF the purchases and of the distribution of the
prepared food among the houses of the stock
holders.
| The advantages claimed for such an arrange
| ment are Relief from the worry Of looking
aiter servants and of mark citing; better cook
ing apparatus and service than single family
OF moderate means could command; reduced
cost ottood, since it could be bought at whole
sale, and, at the same time, if the stewards
were competent, improved quality; and, final
~, grateful increase in the leisure time of
the ladies OF the families. 1t may be said that
mea is can be procured as well from the restau-
rants, but 1t may justly be replied that
Inere Is THIS difference The restaurants are
conducted for the profits of the proprietors.
Whlle IN the case of the proposed cooperative
kitchen the patrons are themselves the pro
prietors."

Negro Suffrage in Minnesota.
0ur National Domain.

The report of the Commissioner ofthe Land
Office shows that seven million acres of the
public lands have been disposed of during the
past year. There is still remaining 400, OO0-
600 acres, including the recently acquired Rus
sian territory. There are thirty maps descrip-
tive of States and Territories, together with a
carefully prepared map of the world. The
Commissioner argues to show that the United
States are now 5000 miles in advance of Eng
land on its rout to China and Japan and the
Indies, demonstrating, in this connection, the
necessary diversion of that foreign trade to
to this country, and its effect on our public
lands in the Pacific slope and the Mississippi
Valley. There are now $1,000 miles of com
pleted railroads in this country. which since
their commencement, is at the rate of a thous
and miles year, while the number of miles
in course ofcenstructioni is II 800. The report
among other interesting subjects, treats upor

Milwaukee.-.-Its Representatives in the
Legislature.
For the Telegraph.
If there be any one thing, which should
make intelligent citizens of Milwaukee feel
tired of Democracy, it is the list of men
elected to represent that city in the LegisIa-
ture That the men elected are not honest
land well meaning, we do not charge /, they
may be disposed to do business as we'll as
they know how. But it will hardly be de-
MED that of the ten Democratic members,
elected 10 the Assembly from Milwaukee,
the average legislative ability of a large
proportion of them, is but little if any above
the average of the like number, taken pro-
uiscuously from company of railroad Ia
borers. Milwaukee claims to be the metro
politan city of the State the great mart
of commerce and of wealth, yet it is fact
notorious throughout the country, that for
the last eight years, four fifths of the mem
bers sent to the Legislature from that city
have been bat mere cyphers, except in the
matter Of voting linen Of no personal
weight of character no knowledge of the
business of Legislation and no influence.
This is so much matter of history. that NJ
one will seriously pretend to deny it.
Milwaukee will continue to be represented
in the same way, so long as the democratic
masses in that city are allowed to rule The
voting population who swarm in droves
from the saloons, will have their own way
in selecting just such candidates as they
please without reference to legislative quail
ifcation. One would suppose that the bet
ter class of CT items in Milwaukee, would
get heartily tired of being tainted from
year to year, with being represented by
inefficiency, if not actual stupidity. In the
late election there were some signs of res
tiveness, under the control of the ruling De-
mocracy the better class who heretofore
have done duty in the Democratic ranks,
did not come up to the scratch,in voting for
imbecile dianocrats, according to expectation
Things canuot always run in this way ;
Milwaukee will not suffer its reputation to
be so severely damaged at every election.
Any city that habitually makes bid for
ignorance, cannot expect to command the
respect of the country.
If Milwaukee cares to have a reputation
like Chicago, it must not pander to politi
cal jabberers and brawlers; Its people must
have self respect enough to shake off the
legion Of third rate cIamorers for Office and
seek to be represented by men, who have
some claim to talent and public worth. The
business reputation of any western city, il
measured by its political estimate of men
If its standard be low one in this respect
then its business character,is very naturally
suspected of decentralization.

Encourage Home Trade.

The Whitewater Register comments upon
the practice of neglecting to patronize home
interests. The remarks will apply to many
other villages and cities, as well as to White

NEW YORK The official returns in the
State of New York, have not yet been made
from all the counties. The returns SO far
as the official have been received, indicate a
falling off, of between fifty and sixty
thousand, compared with the vote of 1864.
Tie New York Tribune says, that only in
five cou6ties, does the democratic vote show
an excess over1 1861. The Democrats were
we'll united and worked with desperation,
while the Republicans were afflicted with
apathy and local distractions. Next year
it will be different with Gen. Grant for a
standard bearer, local issues will be lost

will again achieve its accustomed triumph.
Negro Suffrage in Minnesota

evidence to show that upwards of 500, 900
