Girls SnoULD LEARN TO KEEP HOUSE,
No young lady can be too well instructed in
anything which will effect the comfort of "a
family Whatever position in society she
occupies, she needs practical knowledge Of
household duties. She may be placed in such
circumstances that it will not be necessary for
her to perform much domestic duty but on this
account she needs no less knowledge than if
she was obliged to preside personally over
the cooking stove aud pantry. Indeed
have thought it was more difficult to direct
others, and requires more experience, than to
do the same work with our own hands.
Some mothers give their daughters the care
Of housekeeping, each week by turns. 1t
seems to me good arrangement and raost
useful part Of their education. Domestic
labor is by no means incompatible with the
highest degree Of refinement and mental cul-
ture. Many Of the most elegant, accomplish
ed women | have known have looked well to
their household duties and have honorod
themselves and their husbands by so doing.
Economy, taste, skill in cooking, and neat
ness Of the kitchen, have great deal to do
in making life happy and prosperous The
charm Of good housekeeping is in economy,
order aud taste displayed in attention to lit
tie things and these things have a wonderful
influence. a dirty kitchen and bad cooking
have driven many a one from home to seek
comfort and happiness somewhere else. None
OF our excellent girls are ft to be married
until they are thoroughly educated in the
profound mysteries of the kitchen Vide

PLowING UNDER CRors FOR MANURE
An old farmer in Missouri writes that he has
tried buekwheat, oats, corn, and clover,
plowed under as manure" and has come to
the conclusion that nothing is so good as clio.
yer. He has not tried peas, and asks wheth-
er they are good for this purpose Next to
clover there is no crop better than peas to
pillow under for manure, But peas contain a
good quantity Of matter that can be turned
into pork, and the manure that is left will
be nearly as valuable as the peas themselves.
Grow all the peas you can, but do not pillow
them under There is no better feed for pigs,
and sheep do well on them.

sulphur. A handful of this mixture is put
into small bag, into which insert the end

the hole is filed up tight around the fuse. II
the hurrow has other openings, these must

there been any signs Of life after burning the
powder. The cost need not exceed five cents
to hole, and may save many dollars.

Mr. w. Z. Woodhouse, who is commission agent
of New orleans, but who has house OF business at
LAT Maiden lane, stated to Judge Hogan that in Jan.
uary last MIR. Jones came to MIN at his oce at New
Orleans and wished him to cash some drafts.
amounting to over 5000, upon the United States
Treasury. Jones represented that this and larger
amount was due to him from the Treasury. Mr..
WoOdhouse introduced Jones to his brother, who
advanced the money on the security OF the drafts,
they being endorsed by Woodhoase.
Tue drafts were cashed by the Bank of New
Orleans, but on presenting them 60 the Treasury at
washington they were returned endorsed by Score.
tary Mccuiloch that Jones had no money due to him
from the government. MIR. WoodbOuse was, there
FORE called upon by the bank, as the result OF his

going along Fulton street yesterday he saw Jones
and traced him to the United states HOTEL After

and therefore Jones coald not be detained on his

United States Court. The United States District
Attorney heard the case both sides and stated
that he could not hold Jones on the unsupported
