RAPE ON CHILD BY A CHINAMAN.-We e
clip from the Truckee Tribune of May Sth {:
On last Sunday, Chinamun. who had been
employed by Charles Nuce, of the Truckee
House. at Crystal Peak committed rape upon
daughter of Nuce only six years old. The
child has contracted loathsome disease.
Nuce made the Chinaman own to having tam
pered with the child. lie then took the Chi
naman to the bank of the river. shot him, and
threw him into the stream. The Chiuaman
struggled and crawled out, when Nuce beat
him over the head with stone, and he fell
back into the river, and it was the last that
was seen of the Chinaman. Pdblc opinion
is that Nuce did only his duty.
We are interested to know whether the
child asserts that the Chinaman did the deed.
or whether Nuce has any other evidence tG
that effect besides the admission he forced
from him and until so informed reserve
judgment whether to agree with the public
opinion" Of Truckee or to consider Nuce a
brutal murderer.
We in our turn clip from the Stockton In
dependent. We wonder greatly, if the per-
petrator of the hellish outrage above narrated
had been white man. whether the Indepen
dent would have reserved judgment - whether
to agree with the public opinion of Truckee
or to consider Nuce a brutal murderer

The MARE IS NINE Now.-An old
gentleman had an only son, and conclud-
ed to put all his property into his hands,
on condition that he would maintain him.
As they had but one horse, the father and
son walked to the Justices Office to get
the business done. The writings were
drawn and executed, and the son put the
deeds in his pocket. The old gentleman
then walked out Of the room and was in
the act Of moumting, when John steps up.
and takes the bride out of his hand and
rides of, saying. 'Fathcr, the mare is
mine," and left the poor old man to trudse
home alone.
The next .iay the father, who kept his
sorrow to himself, was sitting before
blazing fire, when he called to his son,
and exclaimed, "Jonny, have been think
ing of some more property which was
omitted in the deed of yesterday, and
don't know whether it is best to give it to
you now, or wait till l have done with
"Oh," said the son, "the deeds have not
been sent away to the register, and it is
best that the business should all be dono
together"
/, VD,WelI, them" says the father. +" get tie
papers, The son hastened to his old
bureau and brought them to him. The
father asked if they were all.
"Yes," says John, and then the old man
tucked them under the forestick, and
turning round, cries out: johnny, the
mare is mine now"

Girls.
NJ young l..dy can be too we'll instruct
ed in anvthing which will attest tn,
comfort Of family. Whatever position
in society she occupies, she needs q
practical knowledge Of household duties
She may be placed iu such circumstance,
That it will not be necessary for her te
perform much domestic labor; but on this
account she needs no less knowledge than
if she was obliged to preside personally
over the cooking stove and pantry. In.
deed, have thought it was more difficult
to direct others, and requires more exper.
ience, than to do the same work with our
own hands.
Mothers are frequently so nice and par
ticular that they do not like to give up
any part of the care to their children.
This is great mistake in their manage
ment, for they are often burdened with
labor and need relief. Children should be
early taught TO make themselves useful ;
to assist their parents every way in their
power, and to consider it privilege to do
SO.
Yoaag people can not realize the i'm
Portaaee Of a thorough knowledge Of
housewifery; but those who have suffered
the Inconvenience and modification of
ignorance can we'll appreciate it. Cail>
dren should be carly indulged in their
disposition to bake and experiment in
various ways. 1t is often but trouble
some help that they afford; still it is
great advantage to them. know little
RiH who at nine years old made loaf of
bread every week during the winter. Her,
mother taught her how much yeast, salt
and -four to use. and she became quite an
expert baker. Whenever she is disposed
to try her skill in making simple cakes or
pes, she is permitted to do so. She is
ohus, willie amusing herself, learning an
lesson. Her mother calls her
slitte housekeeper, and often permits her
to get what is necessary for the table. She
hangs the keys by her side, and very
musical is the jingling to her ears. 1
think before she is out Of her teens, upon
which she has not yet entered, that she
will have some idea how to cook.
Some mothers give their daughters the
care OF housekeeping, each week by
turns. 1t seems to me good arrange
nent and a most useful part of their
education. Domestic labor is by no means
incompatible with the highest degree of
refinement and mental culture. Many of
the most elegant, accomplished womcn l
have known have looked we'll to their
household duties, and have honored them
selves and their husbands by so doing.
Economy, taste, skill in cooking, and
ueatness OF the kitchen, have great deal
to do in making life happy and prosperous.
The charm Of good housekeeping is in
order, economy and taste displayed in at>
tention to little things; and these things
have wonderful influence. A dirty
kitchen and bad cooking have driven many
an one from home to seek comfort and hap
piness somewhere else. None of our
excellent girls are fit to he married until
they are thoroughly educated in the deep
and profound mysteries Of the Kitchen

THE PREsIDENr.-How few people seem
to know that His Excellency the President
is misnomer, the official designation Of
the Chief Magistrate of the Republic. SO
far as he has one, being simply The Presi-
dent. In the Convention framing the Con-
stitution there were various propositions
az to the title to be given to the Executive.
and, among others, one that he should be
styled Escellsncy. This failed, as did others,
the decision being that he should be styled
simply what the Consultation itself calls
him. 1t will be noticed that M. Seward,
who is serupulously exact in these matters,
invariably addresses his communications to
The President, and, perhaps, rigidly simple
as this may seem, it was meant to be as
full of meaning as the plain title with
which royalty appears, not His Majesty,
OF His Christian Majesty, or His Catholic
Majesty, but ''The King"

Iowa East and West Railways.

The Dubuque & Sioux City Railxay is
completed to Webster, the county seat Of
Hamilton County. Webster is very
brisk, thriving little town, located on
Boone Greek, about eighteen miles east Of
Fort Dodge, which is situated on the Des
Moincs River. The Dubuque & Sioux
City road has progressed very slowly, and
is now little more than half way across
the State. 1t would certainly lie to the
interest Of the company o reach the Mis-
souri, river at Sioux City at as early a day
as practicable, as a connection with that
point will secure the road great deal of
through travel and freight for the Upper
Missouri.
Iowa will soon be abundantly supplied
with east and west lines Of railway. The
Clinton, Cedar Rapids & Omaha road is
completed and in operation. The Daven-
port, Des Moines 4 Council Bluffs road is
finished forty or fifty miles west Of the
State Capitol, and track-laying has COM
menced ut Council Bluffs, going east ut
the rate of a mile day. The road will
be finished early this season, in time to
secure share OF the Union Pacific traffic.
Meantime, with little noise or report,
the Chicago & Burlington road is rap
idly pushing its line across Iowa, via
Mt Pleasant and Ottumwa.
The last we heard the track was laid
beyond Alton, in Union County, being
more than two-thirds Of the way across
the State. That road, We understand, will
strike the river somewhere near the mouth
of the Platte, and thence run up to Coun-
Gil Bluffs. There is still another east and
| 1oL kl,o HCl ~
which begins at the feurishing city ol
McGregor, and is to run west along OF
near the 43d parallel Of latitude, through
a row of county seats, and over fine
fertile country. 1t is endowed with land
grant of $500, 600 acres, which, when the
road is built, will sell for more than its
whole cost of construction. Some forty
or fifty miles of this line have been bull,
west Of McGregor. Thus Iowa has one
east and west line completed; two, more
than two thirds completed; one, rather
more than half, and the fifth line fairly
commenced. All of these roads really
commence in Chicago, which is their foca
point. -Four of them are owned by Chi
cago companies, and are and were bull
by them. The Illinois Central is pushing
forward the Dubuque & Sioux City Road
the Northwestern operates the Clinton
Omaha Road; the Chicago & Rock Island
is constructing the Davenport & Council
Bluffs Road, and the Chicago & Burling
ton Company is pushing forward tn,
southern line, ria Mt. Pleasant and OF
tumwa. 1t was in ancient times said tina
''all roads led to Rome; and in moderr
times it may be said that all American
roads lead to Chicago.-CAicago Tribune
