Suffrage.

Since the commencement Of the work OF
recognizing the states disorganized by the
rebellion, the question of suffrage has been
cry pr ominently before tho people Of this
country and since 1865, this has been the
distinctive question which has marked, more
than any other, the difference between Re-
publicans and Democrats. The Republican
party has been progressive in its ideas and
achievements. as indeed any party must be
to live, or deserve to live in form of gov
eminent like ours. 1t was first organized
to resist the entertainments of slavery, when
that form of despotiam repealed the old COM
promises between freedom and slavery and
insisted on Matchmaking tho relic of bar
barism. At first even its foremost leaders
not only did not comprehend the grand work
before it, but denied that it aimed at any
thing moro than the restriction Of slavery
within the territory it then occupied. Al
late a. 1860. the platform OF tho party
ostentatiously announced that Republicanisu
did not mean abolition and suffrage 70

IMPORTANT FROM PARAcUAY.-Letters have

IhPoRrANr FROM PARAGUAY have
been received from Mr. Washburne, late Q
S. Minister to Paraguay, and others, which
give a sad account of the condition of things.
People have quite generally been disposed
to sympathize with the little state that could
go long hold out against the power Of Brazil,
but these accounts materially change the
aspect Of affairs. Lopez, the President, is
described as a jealous tyrant. ruling his sub
iects, for he has made them such, with rod
Of iron. Many prominent citizens. including
two of his own brothers have been shot, and
hundreds have been tortured ana maltreated
in all ways The able bodied men have been
conscripted for the army, and delicate women
driven to do the work necessary to keep the
country from starvation.
Our Minister, it appears, sent tor United
States ship to take away himself and family,
and while on his way to embark, two attaches
CT the legation were forcibly dragged from
his side by the soldiers of the Dictator,
although he made every effort to save them.
Later reports state that one of them has
been shot and the other tortured. The only
cause for this outrage seems TO be tnat Mr.
Washburne had made his house q refuge for a
number OF foreigners who had reason to fear
violence and robbery. This, by the law Of
civilized nations, it was his duty TO do, and for
il his secretaries have suffered. Hoy much
longer Will this country endure such insults
from the barDarans Of South America
In the meantime, the war is languidiy
progressing, and the wretcned inhabitants
have no hope from the Intervention OF
some foreign power.

IEE ART Or LIvING.-Ihe new French
paper which is about TO be started in New
York proposes, among other coed things, to
have IN its columns, weekly. articles on the
art Of living cheaply and we'll; and 20 de-
scribe two simple dishes, appropriate to The
season, easily prepared, and calculated to
afford varied nutriment.
There is perhaps no country IN the world
where the cost of living cheaply and we'll
is better understood, or more generally
pracsiced, than in France. And there certain
IL Is no country in the world where instruc-
ton in this art is more needed than in the
United States-none where more nice ma
teriais for food are wasted and spoiled. How
seldom does even 4 well-t0-do American get
the most simple and common sort of a meal
well prepared How few families. for ex-
ample, ever drink really good cup of coffee
or tea, or eat nice, sweet and light bread :
delicately made and nicely seasoned soup
s a thing to b. remarked upon for its rarity ;
and we'll roasted joint, or q carefully
broilcd steak are things scarcely expected

as for buildings, pastry and cake OF all kinds,
they are, as q rule, badly mado or badly
cooked " cooking butter - G. rancid
butter-and saleratus often being allowed
to mingle freely in them all, to their utter
ruin. In fact, grease in some form is made
to enter and defile much of our cooking ;
and that hateful stuff called saleratus is re-
lied upon by careless cooks to take the sour
out Of everything. This. to be sure, it does
quite cffectually, but it leaves nothing swee:
in its place.
A reform in our kitchens is more needed
than anywhere else, for the health and COM
fort of the people. And it is demanded, too
by the monetary condition of the country
The price of what : considered genteel living
has become 30 enormous that our daily
wonder is, how 50 many people are able &c
keep up even the semblance of such living.

our people how to live cheaply and well-as
it proposes to dot will deserve to be
called a national benefactor, and be entitled
TO monument of brass as high as the dome
Of the eapisol.

CAUSE or THE HtGH Pace OF BUTTER.-A
correspondent of the Boston Traveller tells
the following
\ lady entered As store one DAY, recent
iv. inquiring the price of butter. and asked,
" hat is 1t Mr.. A, that makes butter So
nigh ? Peering over has specs at the lady,
our friend replied, - Pianos, madam She
thought that he must have misunderstood
her query, and repeated it, saying, "
lsked YOU what you thought made butter SO
high? Yes, - said the impertuhable gro
GER. a. it is pianos madam, - and proceeded
to explain himself in this wise
Forty years ago my father was sheriff

If those old rounds for old acquaintance
sa ke, what did find? Not the churn, nor
the spinning wheel. nor the loom; they had
been long since banished, and in their place
found the piano. Now, madam" said the
old gentleman, - you Will understand why I
think that the cause Of the high price of
butter is pianos. The product OF the wheel

The situation is not yet fully realized at
Washington. We believe that the First
Congregational Church Of that city, was
built by contributions from the North and
now that it is able to sustain itself. Inany 81
its members are opposed to the admission 81
colored persons. Gen. Howard, at the head
OF the minority, has succeeded in having 3

Rev. Dr.. Boynton, the pastor. The MAORI
