Woman'S Rights have triumphed
in one European capital; even in Aus
tria, noted for its rigid adherence to
ancient usagcs. The municipal body
of Vienna decided that seven thousand
women inhabiting the town, paying
its taxes, and otherwise complying
with all legal conditions, shal be ad-
mitted to the right of an elective vote.
The most curious part of the affair is
the comparatively speaking uncOncern
of the male population of Vienna.

No young lady can be too we'll instructed
in anything which will affect the comfort of
a family. Whatever position in society
she occupies, she needs practical knOwl-
edge of household duties. She may be
placed in such circumstances that it will
not be necessary for her to perform much
domestic labor; but on this account she
needs not less knowledge than if she was
obliged to preside personally over the
cooking stove and the pantry. Indeed, it
is more difficult to direct others and re-
quires more experience, than to do the
same work with her own hands.
Young people cannot realize the import
ance of a thorough knowledge of house
wifery; but those who have suffered the
Inconvenience and modification of ignO-
rance can well appreciate it. Children
should be early INDUCED in their disposi-
ton to bake and experiment ia various
ways. It is but troublesome help that
they afford still of great advantage to
them. I know a little girl who at nine
years old made a loaf of bread every week
during the winter. Her mother taught
her how much yeast, salt and flour to use
and she became quite an expert baker

THE TRUE POLICY,

An exchange makes the subjoined sensible re-
marks concerning the price Of cotton and the true
policy of the planters for the future. If LIBERAL
practical view of the subject is to govern the far
mers Ofthe South another year, and none will plant
cotton enc'as'Dsly under the impression that his
neighbor will raise enough corn and make enough
bacon, the year of our delverance as people will
accomplished; I'VE are happy for the sake of our
friends to notice the rapid rise in cotton. Iisthe
natural result of that prudence and forethoughi
which made;celton secondary consideration last
year. Let our planters be certain that they plant
enough corn and small grain, this year for home
consumption, and the control Of the cotton market
can never pass away from them. We regard the
present rise as the work of the specuator, and as
it benefits our people, cnre not how high they put
it; but we think no power "ring" con ever again
put cotton below twenty cents, if the planter will
make enough provisions for homo use. We think
the restoration is Mt hand-that cotton win again

DEATHS IN SUMTER.

We are deeply grieved to learn from the SHmtcr
Watchman that our relative and friend FREEMAN
HoYT, is no mcre. He died at bis residence near
that village on Monday, llth instantJ surrounded
by his affectonate and devoted family, and mum
Der Of sympathizing friends. His life was unot-
trusive, as his character unassuming, but those
who knew him intimately can testify chat gener-
osity and kind feeling to oil Gods creatures was a
prominent trait in his character and that unaffec-
ted piety marked his career on earth Within the
sacred precincts Of the family circle, where We knew
and loved him best, the noble qualities of his head
and heart shone brightest and charmed an within
his influence. He has left the priceless legacy Of
au unlarnished name aud unblcmishe9 reputation
behind, and has gone to join the angelic host be-
yond ihe skies -
On the same day, and within few hours, another
old citizen of Sumter departed this life. Mr SAM
yEL MAIRAHr, perhaps more widely known, died
on the llth also, and it is,a singular coincidence
that both of these respected citizens Of Sumter
we're born in the same month Of the SAME year.

Avnppsox MALE acADEMY.

We are grati6ed TO learn that the number Ct
students on Monday last, ut the opening Of the
first session, was thirty-four and that others are
expected. For the, past two years, the Male
Academy has been under the care of Mr. W. j.
LlooS, whose experience and abilities have enabled
him to build upga substantial school in our
midst, BeyOndfa doubt; Mr.. LiGoS ought to have
double the number of students now in attendance,
ond it behoeyes the friends of education to en-
courage the growth and advancement of 'his in
stitution. Why not establish q permanent school
With o fall corps of Teachers? The cause of edu-
cation must progress hand in hand, with the pros
perty of tho town, md certainly the Importance
of Anderson in commercial point far exceeds
the growth of her institutions of learning. We
throw out these hints, with the hope that others
may give some reflection to the subject, and espe-
cially to suggest that every one interested in en
hancing the general welfare OF the town ought TO
lend aid and encouragement to Mr.. LIGoS, who
has proven himself 'the right man in the right
place."

For tie .ander,on Intell,Grscer.

Mr.. Ep1roR: The high price obtained for cotton
this season has determined a large number Of the
farmers of this District to invest in commercial
manures; and the inquiry is, where and how shall
we get these manurcs? One will be independent
and enterprising enough to order from some gene
raj agent in New York, Charleston or elsewhere {;
another will apply to his favorite merchant aud
friend TO order for him; another will buy from
retailers in our towns. Either of these modes
may answer very, good purpose and satisfy the
purchaser, but not without saddling the unsus-
peeting farmer with extra commissions, and poss-
bly, with an infeyos article Of manure.

good. pure, reliable AMI unainlt erated manures to
the farmers Of the eoanty, at the lowest leos, is

so.iatiou would not have the Association lay
in manures for its individual members, but do
most respectfully submit that the President, Sec
re,ary or Executive Committee should open COR
respondence with several Of the most reliable and
responsible manufactures of manures used in this
section Of country, TO ascertain the lowest whole.

chased, and either give that information to the
people at large, appoint a responsible agent in
the District into whose hands orders and money
may be placed BY those desiring manarcs on or
BY given day, and let that agent send or go to
those parties with whom arrangements have been
previously made, and secure tue whoe amount at
wholesale prices, and make the division to each
party sending money upon its arrival Mt Anderson.
Every farmer ordering manure could very mel
