Flour in bread has delicious sweet
ness that nothing should destroy.
1t has been said of Republics that they
may rise to certain height of national
prosperity, and then must assuredly de-
cline. This we deny with regard to Re-
publics, but it is certainly true as to the
staff of life.
There is a point at which the sweetness
has departed, even before the sOurness
begins. The great art is to arrest the
fermentation before it reaches this point.
l have seen the specimens sent me by
neighbors, to show what excellent bread
they could make, and found their ideas
and mine differed greatly. Light and
white it certainly was, but long before il
was submitted to the sense of taste, the
the sense of smell told that it was far from
sweet.
For the reason that it requires careful
watching, l never have bread rising at
night. Changes of temperature affect it,
and must be carefully noted. Early in
the morning, say six o'clock, make up
your bread with lukewarm water or milk,
and good home made or bakers yeasts-
never brewers. Knead it well, and set
it in rather q warm place to rise. No
sponging before hand-it is wholly unnec-
essary and only another opportunity Civ
en- to become sour. In summer, before
ten o'clock, it viii be light enough to put
in pans. Let it rise in them twenty min
utes-not longer, for here the trouble
generally lies; it is allowed to rise, and
rise. till it cracks and runs over. Put
1t In the oven as soon as it begins to rise
In the pans The heat of the oven must
be 30 regulated that the loaves will not be
Drowned or crusted over during the first
halfhour. If they are, they can not rise
as they should. After the first half-hour
increase the heat enough to give them a
beautiful light brown. Good sized loaves
should be an hour in baking. Janet

should Fit the Figure-AH Women should
Dress like ,S,oiss Peasants-No More
iStOpe-pipe Hats.
From the Revolution.l
The art of dress must be founded on ma
ture. We may assume, without fear of con-
tradiction, that the dress must have sleeves,
or at least apertures for the arms. 1t would
seem to be almost an equally self-ev1dent
proposition that the lower part OF the dress
should be bifurcate, and recognize natures
endowment of the human species with legs.
As regards the mechanical principles of
dress. it should obviously fit closely where
there is greatest motion, especially the limbs
as you approach the hands and feet. But
while the hands may often be sufficiently
disengaged to allow the ornament of dra-
perry sleeves, this Is never possible for the
feet, when in use. 1t will be found by ex-
pertinent that any loose clothing below the
knee, whether unifurcate or bifurcate. is a
serious impeachment to 1ocomotion. AS fit
ness prescribes beauty. the pantalette about
the ankle is, therefore, always an abomina-
ton; and, to the unsophisticated eye, the
@Broomer," or street-sweeping costume,
would doubtless appear even more ludicrous
and ungainly than the BloOmer.
In the same manner the masculine panta-
loon of the present day, loose below the
knee, Is an obstruction to motion, as well
as untidy, wasteful, and deformitY. The
present loose leggin and detestable mascu-
line boot must ultimately be replaced with
CATERS and shoes, or SETTLING boots, for
reasons of economy, efficiency, or elegance.
No female costume is more beautiful in
this department than that of the Swiss
peasant, which consists simply of ornamen-
tai stockings and pretty shoes, width skirt
reaching only to the knees. This allows
freedom of motion, and is good for working,
ing In winter obviously can be supplement
ted with gaiter, fur adorned, and made
either OF the most durable or elegant mate
rails.
Not only for freedom, however, but for
beauty, the contouf OF the leg, which is not
inferior TO that of the arm, should be pre-
served in dress. How beautiful, often, the
simple costume of young girls, before it is
considered proper to smother their limbs
under an extinguisher!

that almost any Democrat would support such

sTILL IMPEACHuENT.

Your ingrained, whole-souled Radical new
makes lodgment there. Up to the last
week of President Johnsons term, Wendell
Phillips, through the Anti-Slavery Standard,
was harping on impeachment. Though it
was too late, he admitted, to remedy By i'm
parchment the evil done by letting johnson
remain in Office nearly four years, still Con-
gress should not allow him to fold his tent in
peace and safely steal away to the savage
shades of Brownlow's late dominion. Take
him, shrieks Phillips TO Congress, while he is
meditating this fagitious retreat summarily
try and convict him; ''vindicate the nations
honor, dignity and authority and ''place
mark upon the forehead of the drunken apos-
tate and reasonable usurper, as he prepares
to go back to East Tennessee" Now, really,
this is too much thunder to waste upon
President who is in the article of official de-
function. Impeachment, questionless, is
very good ammunition as Radical warfare
goes, ont firing it eli against the retiring
President is an extremely absurd and
imbccile anacbronism. It will do
TO keep, however. IL will be found very
handy thing TO have in the Radical house

Mr.. Washburne, the new secretary of state,
is the senior member Of the House of Repre-
sentatives. He is man of some ability, and
more experience. He has the reputation Of
being an honest man, at least he says so him.
self and, lately, he has tried to recommend
himself to public favor by making an elabo-
rate speech ON the finances, in which he re-
commended economy, denounced the Pacific
Railroad swindles, and made @ furious on
slaught on the whisky rings, and other rev.
enue thieves. It was not to this however
that he owed his appointment, but to Lis per-
sonal relations with the new President SEN
ator Yates was the original discoverer Of
Grant, but Washburne lays claim to that dis
tinction. In fact, as to the discovery in ques-
ton, Washburne holds the same relation to
Yates that Americas Vespucius held to
Columbus. Ii has, all along, been known
that Washburne's influence over Grant was
almost unlimited, but it had been given out
that the state of his health would preclude
him sfrom accepting cabinet Position-in
other words that he would prefer to sit be-
hind the throne and pull the wires.
The appointment of A I. Stewart as Sec
rotary of the treasury has been anticipated by
the public. This gentleman was one of the
bondholding ring who trotted out Gen. Grant
last winter. These gentlemen succeeded in
forcing Grants nomination at Chicago, and
contributed materially to secure his election.
To overlook their claims in the formation Of
his cabinet would have implied gross ingrati-
tude on the part Of the new President. Mr..
Stewart is the largest dry goods salesman In
the United States, and, on the subject of the
finances, be has a lively sense of the impor-
tsnt fact that the fVe-twenties ought to be
paid in gold. Whether Mr.. Stewards expert
cree and success in vending dry goods super
eminently qualify him for the solution Of wide
and complicated economical and financial
problems, Il a question which yet remains 20
be decided

A silence reigns in cir:
Steel blue the heavens above me,
hoveless the trees and bare;
Yet unto me the stiffness
This burden seems 10 bring

Waiting for the SPRING.

Rough oak and poplar high,
Stretch out their sapless branches
Against the win,ry sky.
Even the guilty aspen
Hath ceased her quivering,
As though she TOO were waiting,
Waiting for the Spring.

But one stray note OF music
May sound in all the land,
Why art thou mute, d blackbird

All J surely, they are waiting,
Waiting for the Spring."

o heart thy nights are drear;
But soon shall streams Of sunshine
Proclaim the turning gear.
Soon shell the trees be leafy;
Soon every bird shall sing;
Let them be silent waiting,
Waiting for the Spring.
