Family Cooking.

The happiness Of a family depends
largely upon a wise regimen Of food,
Yet, as a general thing, there is too
much cooking done. Rich cakes and
pastry are not what children or even
grown people should indulge in freely.
But ripe fruit might with great ad-
vantage be used instead of hot break,
fast dishes and unwholesOme desserts.
If it is desired to cook the fruit, ex-
cellent puddings, far more healthfuI
that those compounded with the or
dinary rich or heavy pastry, may be
very easily made with apples, peaches
huckleberries, or any well favored
and juicy fruit, in this way. Take a
fresh loaf Of bakers bread, or better
still, what are called "Sally Lunns,"
cut in slices; spread with butter, and
line a pudding-dish with them. Put
in the fruit. properly prepared; when
peaches are used, the flavor is better
to retain the stones. If the dish Is
deep, put a couple of slices Of bread
and butter between the fruit. Cover
the whole with slices, and bake: II
the fruit is not very juicy a little water
should be added. With nice, sweet
sauce the pudding is excellent.

In lis speech before DE Massaehus-

In his speech before the Massachus-
etts Republican Convention, Gen. But
Ter made some sharp hits. He said /:
"The issue nowis precisely the same
which was fought over in the war.
The rebels are fighting under our flag.
They have simply laid down the Stars
and Bars and taken up the Stars and
Stripes-nOt with any love for its
glory. and not with any appreciation
of the heroism which it represent
but they use it as they would steal the
livery of Heaven to serve the devil
in We are called Radicals because
we 20 to the root of the matter; our
opponents are called Conservatives
because they hold back. The pro-
gress Of ideas is in favor of Radical
ism. Conservatism is like brakes on
a railway train, but who ever heard
ofa train being run by its brakes ?"

Hot Shot from q Clerical Bat
terry

I'll. Cuyler, D. D., in his last let
ter to the New York Evangelist, dis
poses of the Democratic nominees in
a slashihg way. He writes as one
who knows, and wereckOn he "knOws
whereof he affirms:"
"Our indolent and drunken class
mate; Frank Blair, has been nomina-
ted for that high Office, which Andrew
johnson once disgraccd by his intoxi-
cation. Poor Blair's only distinction
in college was his amputation of a
classmates nose with a carving knife
while in a tipsy spree. And now he
is nominated on the same ticket with
the man whose first prominent public
act was to veto the prohibitOry liquor
law of New York. With the partisan
politics Of Messrs. Seymour and Blair
we have nothing 10 do; but while one
of these men has an unhappy tenden-
cy to insanity, and the other addicted
to strong drink, we submit whether
christian patriots should be called on
to commit the mighty interests Of this
republic into their hands,"

It is often charged that the North
ern States are determined to force ne
gro suffrage on the South while they
refuse to accord the negro that right
themselves. This is not true. In the
first place, the dislOyal attitude of the
South, rendered negro suffrage neces
.sary to protect the interests Of those
whom the incidents Ofa war, for which
the South alone is responsible, made
free. Had the South not rebelled, the
negro would not have been freed. Had
the South been willing to accord the
negro justice and an equal chance in
the race of life, negro suffrage would
not have been made one Of the condi-
tons of re-admissiOn into the Union.
So that TO the rebelliOus spirit and the
stif-uecked disposition of the South 90
the negroes owe their emancipation
and the elective franchise. AS to vot-
ing in the Northern States, the negro
is an unqualified voter in Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, Wisconsin and Nebras-
ka. In New York State, il. the negro
owns a freehold worth $3.50, his prop
erty votes, the negro acting as its agent.

IF Alabama is to be carried for
Grant and Colfax, as The Secretary Of
the Union Republican Committee
promises it will not be without exer.
ton, as witness these following re-
marks made by the Montgomery
Mail. "Make them Show their Col.
Ors" is the heading ofoue Of them. II
sets out by declaring that the Repub-
liean party els hated at the South
with a hatred which is deem and
.restlessas the ocean and boundiess as
eternity" and (which stops just short
of the knife" Which doesn't stop
short of the knife, would be correct
way of putting it. "The merchants of
Mobile and New Orleans give employ
ment to no porters, draymen, or
hack-driver5 who do not carry a
Seymour and Blair flag at their
horses head. We appeal to tie mer-
chants of Montgomery to do like
wise"-an appeal not made in vain,
we dare say, and which possibly may
"bring these miserable, incendiary,
insidious men to reason" If not,
they may as we'll understand that
1--WE are tired Of it, and that they and
their carpet-bag leaders must sleep
in the gutter together"
Alabama is a doubtful State, but
there is an undiminished likelihood
that the Republicans will carry Flor
ida, Louisiana, and North Carolina.
As for the Northern States, Pennsyl-
vaAia has become safer than she was
a week ago, and is unquestionably
Republican, by ten thousand majority;
Ohio is perfectly sure; Indiana, Sena-
tor Morton says, will certainly go
over ten thousand majority. It would
be bold Democrat who should bet
that Seymour will carry even New
York after these States have gone
against him.=TN. Y. Nation,

The Reason.

A reason is now given why the stars
didn't shoot last year as advertised
The awkward mistake is explained as
follows
Whea the mololygistric tempera-
ture Of the horizon is such as to color
icise the imperient indentation of the
hemisphere analogy, the cohesion OF
the boraX curbistus becomes sur
charged with infitesimals, which are
thereby virtually dep-ived Of their
ftssurial disquisitions. This effected, a
rapid change is produced in the thor
amOUmber Of the gympasticustUs po-
lerium, which causes a cOnvacular in
the hexagOnical antipathies of the
terrestrium aqui versuIa. Clouds
then becomea mass Of deodotOmized
specule Of ceremocular light, which
can only be seen when it is visible.

why President Lincoln Thank
ed Seymour.

Z - 81 AAO0Ee
Ex-Governor Tod made a speech al
Orwell, Trumbull county, the other
day, in which he made the following
statement. It tells the whole story
about that letter of s'thanks" Of which
the Democracy have so proudly boast
ed since seymour's nomination:
"SeymOur is an intelligent man. 1
know him well. He was Governor at
the same time 1 was Governor. Mr..
Lincoln called for volunteers. I sent
him only thirty thousand, while Sey-
mour sent fifteen thousand. The
President went round cOmplimenting
Seymour and saying nothing about
what I had done. 1 took Mr.. Lincoln
to task for this. I said, 'hOw is it you
are eomplimenting Seymour for his
fifteen thousand men, and neglecting
to compliment Morton and me?' His
answer was perfectly satisfactory. He
said, 'Why, Tod, Inever thanked Mrs.
Lincoln for cup of tea in my Iife."
Laughter and appIause.] The truth
was, Morton and I had done nothing
more than what was expected of US,
while Seymour had. He had never
done the like before, and never did
afteTward 1t was not necessary to
keep Major General in Indiana, Illi-
nOis, and Ohio, to correspond with the
President, as it was in New York. In
those States the Governors acted as
the Presidents correspondents and
agents. You will remember that re-
markable dispatch of General Dix to
Seymour, saying: 81 beg to let you
know that 1 have troops enough at
my command to take care, not only of
the rioters, but of you.'"

In Chinese conversation etiquette
requires that each should compliment
the other, and everybody belonging
to him, in the most laudatory style,
and depreciate himself, with all per-
tanning 30 him, to the lowest possible
point. The following is an illustra-
ton: "What is your honorable name2"
"My insignificant appellation is
Chang" "Where is your magnificent
palace?" My contemplate hut is at
Duehan." "How many are your illus
triOus children2" "My vile, worth
less brats are FIVE" "How is the
health of your distinguished spouse?"

The Washington (IoWa) Press tells
ofa Democratic Justice of the peace in
that county who got up campaign
club of subscribers and sent the mon
ey to the Missouri Democrat. In due
time their papers came and the Dem
Ocratic subscribers were very much
astonished to find that the Democrat
don't support Seymour. That Justice
wants to know "What's in a name."

the boys in this way :-"YOu are

who has a club foot, don't let him
know that you ever saw it. If there's
boy in school with ragged clothes,
don't talk of rags in his presence. If
there's a lame boy in school, assign
him some place in the play which
does not require much running. If
there's dull one, help him to get his
lessons"

The Lynchburg (Va) Republican
thinks that Gen. Forrest, instead of
letting out unpleasant secrets about

practice a silence that is now not only
in good taste but is demanded by

The Mobile Tribune, in a recent
article, informs its readers Of what
the Ku Kluxers will do when they
elect Seymour and Blair. 1t says:
"One of the very first things will
be the assumption of the Confederate
debt. This is precluded by the
amendment known as the XIYth
article. But the Democracy deny
that this amendment has been legally
adopted This, it may be said, is the
result Of the promise to Hampton, and
is made as a guarantee Of their good
faith. ("
