Economy la the Kitchen.

Intelligence and skill are required in the judicious management of the kitch- on.
 As the kitchen is the most impor- tant room in the house, so, too, the la- bors of the kitchen are the most impor- tant, and call for more practical knowl- edge than any other branch ofhouse- keeping. Upon their intelligent per formance depend in large degree, the general health, comfort and prosperity of the household. Wholesome food, only, is promotive of health and strength; savory dishes all relish and prefer, while the little leaks that sink the ship will assuredly flow from a lack of economy in the kitchen.
 We are, as people, seriously def- cicnt in the general practice of skill and economy in the household, and especially in culinary labors. A French family would live well, on what is often wasted in an American kitchen. True, we may have skilled cooks, frugal, model housekeepers, but they are the exceptions, not the rule. Nor is it strange, that such is the fact. What have we ever done whereby to become skilled and perfected in the refinement-the science--of cookery and the arts of housekeeping? We say science of cookery, like Caremc, have converted the art into science, made taste yield to chemistry, and the kitchen to become instead of workshop laboratory.
 In all the trades and professions of life, we give years of time and study to obtain proper knowledge thereof, yet here is an intricate science, most intimately connected with our daily life and being, to which we never pay tribute, but from which we receive it, twice or thrice each day. Can we expect excellence in cook cry, much less mastery of the science, from those whose only knowledge consists of information> now and then, here and there, found doaling among the unskilled masses?

Shocking Outrage by Negroes.

About eleven o'clock on Friday night,
five negroes came to the store Of Mr NJ. A.
Muldrow. in Darlington District, South
Carolina, and rapping up the clerk, Mr.. Il.
Sugs, asked admittsncc. Mr.. Sugs enquir-
ed who they were, aud receiving the response
that they were friends como to trade with
him, opened the door Of the store. Four
negroes, armed with doublc-barreled shot
guns, entered, and, placing their weapons in
the corner Of the room, commenced exam
lining goods, remarking that they were in
the employ Of the railroad, had just been
paid of, and desired to make purchases to
the extent Of ten dollars each. About fifty
dollars worth Of goods were selected, when
one Of the number asked Mr.. Sugs if he
could change treasury notc Of the
denomination Of one hundred dollars. The
wife Of Mr.. Sugs, who was in an adjoining
room, heard the remark, and her suspicious
being excited by it, she went out Of the
back door to the house of gentleman nam
ed Wyndham, and requested him to come
to the store and in case any trouble should
occur to render Mr.. Sugs what assistance
he could. Mr.. Wyndham complied taking
a gun with him, and as he reached the store
he heard the report Of shot. He threw
open the door and was Immediately fired
upon five times by the negroes He return
cd the fire, when they rushed upon him and
seized his gun, and scutil9 eusucd, during
which he managed to effect his escape, and
repairing to Mr.. MulArQw's house, reported
the condition Of affairs. As soon as the lat,
ter could dress and arm himself, he ran to
the store, accompanied by Mr.. Wyndham.
There all was quiet, and entering they found
the shelves of the store entirely stripped,
the money desk robbed, and the clerk, Mr..
sugs, lying dead on the floor, a load of buck.
shot having passed through his head. From
this melancholy scene Messrs. Muldrow and
Wyndham went to the house of the latter,
where they found Mr.. Wyndham's father
in'law had been dangerously shot twice in
the head, and his wife in three different
places on the person BY the same party ofnc

arm around the waist Of Miss Nancy tie

familiarity at all.
Mr. Digby gathered himself up, looked
savagely at the young man, elevated his nose
and with very stiff, "Excusc me, sir,

would have called an impudent puppy, if an

And so it happened that OH the same day

Mr.. Digby never told his wife he proposed

A Disguised Republican.

The New York Times, (Republican) thus
expresses disgust at the passage Of the last
bill of denominations:
We confess our inability to comprehend
the reasoning by which measure subver-
sive Of all liberty can he twisted into mca-
sure for placing beyond jeopardy the life of
the Republic. Mr.. Bingham's ornate rhc-
toric may command the ''rapt attention" of
his hearers, as the reporter asserts, but We
do not see how it could influence tho judg-
ment of any man who distinguishes between
fine phrases and the stern logic Of facts
We know the pretcxt on which the Prcsi-
dent is set aside and General Grant invested
with more than regal authority, but the
mere use Of terms does not satisfy US that
the right Of Congress to do this, and much
more Of the same sort, is derived from its
obligation to guarantee republican form Of
government to the respective States.
The sound may have been delightful when
Mr.. Bingham referred to the trainers Of the
Constitution as "those mighty men whom
God taught to live for glory and beauty"
Lut The vcneration would be more practical
il il took the shape Of reconstruction in &C.
coriancc with the principles they laid down.
The overthrow Of civil government in ten
States, and the creation of dictatorship,
with soldier as its occupant, scarcely har-
monize with these principles. The fathers,
too, were more tolerant in their iuterpreta-
tons Of what constitutes a republican form
of government. They furnished no precc.
dent for the absolutism by which Mr.. Bing-
ham would force upon States tho views Of
Congressional majority without regard for
the will, the opinions Or the interests Of
their white population.
The same want Of bottom is traccaLlc in
all the arguments delivered in support Of
the bill. They were all either rhapsodes,
signifying little or unblushing defences of a
policy which puts no limit to legislative
usurpation.
How the measure will fare in the Senate
we shall probably soon know. We dare not
hope that tho reputcd moderation Of that
body will SO far prevail as to modify provi-
sions so palpably at variance with tho prin-
ciplos Of the Republican party Tho zeal
Of partisanshp for tho time o,sruns pru.

went into a fancy store in Cincinnati, in hunt

the counting room with his fee. elevated,
contemplating life through the soitenins in

Our Hoosicr friend addressed him as fol.

"Do you want to hire any man about your
establishment?
The clerk looked indiflcrcntly, but seeing
his customer, concluded to have u little fun
out Of him, so he answered very briskly, at
the samo time pulling out a large and costly
handkerchief, and wiping his nose on it:
"Ycs, sir; what sort Of a situation do you
wsnt?'
"Wcll, I'm not particular. I'm out of
work, und almost anything will do for nc for
while"
"Ycs, can give you situation, if it will

"What is it? What's to be done, and
what do you givo?'
"Wcll, want hand to chew rags into

may begin at once.
"Good US wheat Hand over your rags. "
"Herc, take this handkerchief and COM

Military Dicipllnc.

In the Ieavonwor'h naners or :" g. =,
ago We have the particulars Of the prclim-
,r-s.ov"",ina,ion ofl;en. Cu:tar anla L;cut.
Cook for the alleged murder Of private in
the Seventh United States Cavalry. Gus
tar was Lieutenant Colonel and Cook was
Lieutenant in the regiment when stationed
at Fort Wallace in July last The private,
with others, deserted the regiment and u
squad under Cook was sent after them with
not to bring them bac.: u,ire. When they
We're evertaken the private was shot in the
arm, and at once fell upon his knees begging
for his life. Cook rode up to within a few
PAGES Of him and deliberately shot him
through the head and body while the poor
fellow was imploring for mercy.
This is only valuable to IL, as showing the
effects Of military dieiplinc. Custur, in his
brutal authority, could give such an order,
and the one commanded must execute it,
resign the service, or subject himself to
court martial. And there's no civil law that
will reach these murderers, so long as they
remain in the service, and the most the
military can do is to court martial and dis
miss them.
1t did not require an extremely brilliant
discernment for the Radicals to discover all
this. They have seen it was dangerous
step to establish absolute monarchics over
tho Southern States in name, but they COLI
ccived the brilliant idea of creating for them
Il military despotism, which is a thousand
times more tyrannical and damnablc. I'm
der the control Of q monarch the people
have some show of justice under the pro-
lection of civil laws while under military
dictators, such as now control the South,
there is no oiusticc, no civil laws, nor civil
rights. The lives, and property, and libcr-
ty Of the people arc at tho mercy Of the
military autocrat who is sent there by the
inter meddlers Of the Rumr. They have
no law and recognize only their own will.
| AT the military schools they wcro taught
obedience to the orders Of supcriors, and
given TO understand the penalties for viQla-
tions Civil avs are there adherence, con.
sequentiy al civil laws are to be nulliied in
the SatNpies.
Should Car Grant order Satrap Meade
to cause the arrest and execution of citi-
zen Of Georgia. tho Satrap would have to
execute the order. 1t is not his business to
inquire as to the justice of tho proceeding
it was for him to execute the order, resign
his commission, or oo subject to court mar.
tial and consequent dismissal His military
education has taught him prompt obedience
to orders, and in nineteen cases in twenty
the order, however brutal or unjust, will be
executed in preference to the loss of posi-
tion in the army. Under this military des.
potism squad Of soldiers may, at any time,
enter tho residence ofa citizen ofthe South,
drag him from his family and incarcerate
him in any fort or dungeon, without trial
or giving cause why, and there is no means
Of protection against the outrage, rs tho
operations Of the civil laws have been vir-
tually suspended, and q military autocracy
reigns supreme. And this in tho Republic
Of America the asylum for the oppressed
Of all nations
