1t is a wonder that people will persist in
cutting the interior of their houses into
small rooms.
That is a matter of taste, you say, and
every one has right to follow inclination,
and build according to fancy. tItT
True. But did YOU ever hear house
keeper complain of large And as
to small apartments is not the wish inva-
riably expressed that they were larger.
OF course, no one asks us for our opin-
ion, but friendly conversation will do no
harm, and some may agree with us.
Did you ever live in house with large
rooms? When we use the term large
rooms, We mean rooms not less than fifteen
feet by eighteen, or eighteen feet square.
II You never did, you will never know
what genuine comfort is i'm housekccpinc.
until you do. And when this has been
your experience, you will agree with Us in
saying that large rooms arc not only the
most comfortable, but the cheapest i'm the
end
To be sure, more carpet is required to
cover them, but that is the only item Of in
creased expense at the outset; and vet. in
the end, you will find that the larger the
room, the longer the carpet will wear So,
in that case, the expenditure is equal.
If the house is well built and protected
by extra sash, and weather strips at the
doors, as every house should be, no more
continuous beat will be required TO warm
room 1Sx1S, than a room 12x12.@Why Z
Because the small room gets too hot, and
you must cool it off. But in the large
room, a more equablc temperature is pre-
served. We know this by experience.
As to the comfort of large rooms in
summer, no argument is needed TO prove
that
Perhaps you think il costs more to build
large rooms. Did it ever occur TO you
how much partitions cost i'm the construc-
ton of small rooms. And so we say we
would rather have three large rooms in 4
house, than four or five small ones
The work of a hOusekeeper is enormous.
Our lady seaders will admit that The
men will deny it but when We state that
the wives of our citizens do more work
than their husbands in the performance of
their housekeeping duties, the statement
Is astOnishingly near the truth. Halt the
business year is leafing time in mercantile
life, but there is no loafing time i'm the
domestic life of the wife. However, this
is depression. .r- tr.i -.a'
The idea we wish to advance is. that at
least four times the labor is required to
keep q small room in order, than is neees-
sary in a large room. And the explana-
ton for this may be found in the fact, that
a small room is continually getting cit
tered up, while large room keeps in order
longer, ON account of the greaterlspace al
lotted to the articles1in il. q , y GFI2
When you add to these inducements,
those ofpure air; the imposing appearance
of a commodious and spacious interior !;
the improved aspect of the furniture; the
exceeding comfort of not being cramped
for room, and the great attractions large
rooms give house, when offered for sale,
perhaps you will agree with us, that it is
a wonder that people Will, persist in spoil

In,peaehment.

After tn" opening of the Court, on the
29th, Mr. lhef ofered a resolution that
Mr.. Nels having used improper Ian
guage in this tribunal, calculated to pro-
woke duel, and disrcspectful to the Court,
he deserves the -censure fof the Senate.
Mr. Sherman objected to the consideration
of the resolution, and Mr.. Sumner object
ed to Mr.. Nelson making any remarks ex-
ccpt in explanation; but the Senate allow
ed him to read a portion of the letters
bearing on questions Of dates. Nelson
then explained what purported to be an
original letter, signed by Mcssrs. Butler,
Logan, and Garfield, dated March o; also
a letter of Mr. Seward to the President.
by Chauncy BLACK, dated March IS, inclos-
ing a copy with additional signatures.
MIR. Cameron offered an order for night
sessions, which went over Mr.. Evarts
resumed his argument on the part of the
respondent, and continued until four
o'clock, when the Court and Senate adj
journcd.
Mr.. Summers resolution oensuring Mr..
Nelson came up on the Both, and after Mr..
Nelson h;fd made some remarks disavow-
ing any intentional disrepect for the Sem
ate, the resolution was, ON motion of
ReveIsly Johnson, laid on the table-3J to
lO. -Ar-Camerons order for night sessions
was considered, and Mr.. Sumner offered
an amendment making the hours of meet
ing from ten o'clock u. m. to six o'clock u.
M, when, on motion of Mr. Trumbull, the
whole subject was tabled-32 to IL. Mr..
Evarts then resumed his argument, and
continued his remarks until AGO, when the
Court and Senate adjourned.
Mr.. Evarts closed his argument before
the Impeachment Court to-day, and was
followed by Mr.. Stanbery, who occupied
the attention of the Court during the re-
nrainder of the days session.
Mr.. Stanbery concluded his argument at
310 on the I'd. Owing to his becoming
fatigued during the delivery Of his re-
marks, Mr.. w. +. Pedrick read portion
of his address, Mr.. Stanbery himself
delivering the peroration.
After the reading of the journal ON the
4th Mr.. Bingham commenced the final ar
gument on behalf of the prosecution, and
occupied the time until $50, when he
yielded TO motion to adjourn. = ~
Mr. Bingham resumed his argument on
the 9Th. At 400 he stated that it would
take him about an hour more to finish,
and the Court and Senate adjourned.

to read extracts from them. He further
asserted that the ex-Attorney General vas
wholly inexcusable in attempting to force
into this trial as an authority the decision
of the present presiding officer in the Mis-
sissippi case, and argued that it had no
relevancy whatever to the question in dis

that we could not allow the least discretion
as to which law he would execute. .. .' -

Charles Dickens commenced his farewell
series of readings in New York Monday
night. He is sal to have sent home $4,000
as the first instalment OF his earnings in this
country. The total ought to be three times
that sum. The Boston correspondent of the
Hartford Post tells a good story which Illus
trates admirably the character of much OF
the criticism of Dickens works. He says:
Speaking of Dickens reminds me of criti-
cism | heard made upon his works, in a rail
road car the other day. The newsboy had
just been through the car, distributing maya
zines and pamphlet editions of Dickens, and
a man with whom american NoIes" had
been left, took it up and remarKed to his
neighbor: "Ah, here is American Notes, by
Charles Dickens, something he has written
since he came to town suppose" Then, at
ter looking it over little, he remarked CON-
fidently, "Yes, it is something he bas just
| written. Well, don't think much OF Dick.
| ems works any way. | can't see much in
them. The only one of his works that care
any thing about is Oliver Twist" And then
with charming simplicity, THAT is the only
one of 'em ever read any way"
"Burleigb," the New York correspondent
of the Boston Journal, says that the the ar
| rangements for the Press Dinner to be give1
to Mr.. Dickens on the 18th of April are nov
complete. The affair will be one of the mos
elegant ever gotten up. The tickets wer
long ago exhausted, and hundreds of appl
cations from all parts of the country hay
been received by the Committee of Arrange
ments from persons who desire to participat
in the same. The arrangements have bee

a New Criterion of Ability.

The "Round Table," the organ of the
American snobs, a journal that has ever
longing tor the flesh pots of monarchical
government, and does not at all relish the
plain food of democray, complains that the
managers of the impeachment trial are not
good looking men. Two of them only have
anything in their appearance that would in
dicate that they are gentlemen" One OF
them looks like ga fireman arrayed for a
ball." and is "the typical Bowery swell"
The New York Times gives qualified assent
to these several propositions, and contrasts
the Ordinary appearance" of Bingham, But
Ter, Boutwell,, Logan, Stevens, Williams and
Wilson, with the courtly and dignified bear
ing of Stanbery, Evarts and Curtis. After
reading these criticisms, suggested by The
photographs lately published, it is curious to
turn to the proceedings of Saturday in the
impeachment court. On that day, when the
Presidents counsel attempted to exculpate
their client from the charge Of criminal in
tent in removing Stanton by proving the
contrary from his conversation with General
Sherman several weeks before the removal
was made, one of these ordinary looking
men" singh handed, so routed "the Impress
i've and intellectua[looking body who consti-
tute the counsel for the detenee,,' that they
seemed to be utterly bereit of their reason.
At least they reduced their question to
writing in such a manner that every lawyer
in the Senate, Garret Davis among them,
voted that it was not admissible. 1t was, as
Butler said, so "outrageously leading" that
an ordinary country attorney would have
seen its fatal detect Monday the same scene
was repeated. The Presidents counsel had
recovered sufficiently from their overflow o.
Saturday to recall Gen. Sherman. They ex.
hausted all their ingenuity 10 endeavoring to
disguise inadmissible questions so artfully as
to admit them. But another ordinary man
John A. Bingham, "a man essentially com.
monplaee and mediocre" thwarted them al
every step. Personal advantages are ne
donbt of great value, but since the tint
wneu Socrates and Alcibiades illustrated tht
types of personal bearing and of mora
worth, such advantages have not usually
been taken as conclusive evidence of intel
lectual superiority. .

oughly.
In our articles on agriculture we have used
the above words many a time and often and
we have used them because the Injunction
they contain is one the farmer cannot safely
disobey or ignore, The work they represent
is essential to a successful cultivation of the
soil. Skimming over the surface is poor
economy. The bosom of mother Earth must
be properly manipulated or it will not yield
a full supply OF nourishment. During the
last month of summer we often have dry
weather and the crops languish for the want
of rain. And they lansuish, too, at an i'm
portant period of their growth. Now we
know very well that the tanner has no con-
troll over the clouds and has no power to
make them send down showers to water the
earth, but he can exercise some power over
the soil and can do much to mitigate the evil
resulting to his cropsirom drought. And
now what is the best thing he can do to
guard against seasons of drought in the alb
sence of any means of irrigation.
The question is an important one and is
easily answered. "Piow deep and pulverize
the soil thoroughly" Such work will greatly
mitigate the evils of drought and oten save
the crop from utter ruin. We have often
seen the crops upon shallow plowed fields
wither and shriyel under scorehing
