Policy of the Administrator Towards
MississipPT and Texas-Fsirness De
sired by Way of a Change.
WASHINGTON, July 9-The President
to-day in consultation with several promi.
nent Mississippians, said it was his desire
and should accordingly instruct Gems
Ames and Reynolds in their preliminary
arrangements for the election in Mississippi
and Texas, to observe entire fairness and
impartiality.
All the members of the cabinet were prt
sent at their regular meeting to-day.
The journeymen House Carpenters' As
sociation last night inserted the word
white in their constitution, so as TO ex-
clude colored carpenters from member
ship.
The presence here of Hon. John Rose,
Minister of Finance of the Canadian gov
ernment, has caused the return of Mr..
Thornton, the British Minister, from New
buryport, where he hsd taken his family.
The visit of Mr.. Rose is induced by de-
sire TO consult with the United States au-
thorities respecting the new reciprocity
treaty, but more especially on business
connected with the Hudson Bay claims
board, of which he is the representative of
Great Britain.
WAsHINGToS, July 9-According TO
what is understood to have taken place in
the cabinet to-day the election in Missis-
sippi will probably not occur until the 4th
Tuesday in November, after the election
in PennsylvsnIa and Ohio.
Nothing dtfiuite transpired regarding
the Texas election, but it is thought
the day will be equally remote.

TOMATO BATTER CAKEs.-The season
or that highly esteemed vegetable, the
tomato, being again at hand, we take oc-
casion, says the Columbus Enquirer, to
recommend mode Of serving them OBJ
tanned from newspaper, and which,
after trial, we can pronounce excellent.
1t is to slice them, when ripe, cover
them with batter, and fry on a griddle,
like other cakes. They should be sea-
soned while frying. Large and solid
tomatoes are the best for the dish.
Those who are fond OF tomatoes will
take new delight in them fried in this
way for breakfast and we believe that
many, who have not fancied them in the
old styles of serving, will find them most
palatable in this way.

PAPER PETTICOATs,

The use to which paper can be put
seems to be in no way exhausted yet.
Paper collars have become q great fact Of
the present nineteenth century, but what
will ladies say to paper petticoats ?
These have been produced with great
success, and will rival in every way the
snow~white and elaborately ornate gar
ments poor male mortals are accustomed
to look upon with fear and reverence.
We have all heard Of the artist who
used to make caricstures of his friends
upon his shirt~collars, and the author
who inscribed an epic upon q couple
of dozen of the same useful articles Of
attire. Thus we see field Of great use-
fulness for the petticoat of the future
Young ladies can make sketches from na-
ture on their own petticoais. Every
damsel her own sketch book, will be their
motto. Poets can inscribe sonnets TO their
mistress ankles round the hem of her pet
ticoat. Mothers can h&ve fairy tales,
alphabet and small scholastic works in
scribed on their garments, and 30 instruct
their children as they walk about with
them. Fancy an announcement, Madame
Percale begs leave TO call the attention Of
ladies about to visit the seaside TO her new

shilling each, Each petticoat contains an in

JEFFERSON DAvIs.-A late English
paper says Mr.. Davis, the ex>President
ofthe late Confederate States of America,
is living in London, and is, more>
over, an object of great attraction to the
fashionable world. One hears that his
house is besieged by callers, and invita-

that he is unable to avail himself of .

on those which he attempts to comply
with has been so fatiguing that he is
about to take refuge in quiet retreat in

Ene Irish Church Question In Pariia
ment.
LONDON, July 9.-The action of the
House of Lords on the Irish Church bill
caused intense excitement. Messrs. Bright
and Gladstone are in receipt o: letters
daily from persons Offering recommence-
ment of the Reform League agitation,
but they discountenance the movement for
the present and express the belief that the
House of Lords will recede at the last mo-
ment from the opposition to the will oi
the people, though compromise is ex.
pected in the postponement of the date of
the disestsblishment to January, 1872, by
paying 10 q lump the sum of half million
pounds in lieu Of fprivate donations and by
allowing life interest to be computed at
fourteen years' purchase. y
The following letter has been circulated
privately among known progressiyes:
SIR: In view of probable failure Of the
Irish Church bill, through opposition of the
House of Lords TO the government, the
Commons and the country, you are re-
quested TO inform the Secretary Of the Re-
form League whsther you are willing that
your name shall be used, in the event of
defsSt of that measure, TO public call for
a mass meeting to consider the best con-
stitutional method of getting rid Of this
obstruction to legislation based upon the
expressed will Of the people.
LONDON, July 9.-The Times regards
the postponement OF the debate on the
Alabama claims with satisfaction. Their
Introduction at the present moment would
serve no good purpose. A general sense
Of weariness with respect to the subject on
both sides necessitates an interval, or
considerable period before it is resumed.
The debate could be only useful if
parliament disspproYed of the conduct of
the ministry, or wished to Instruct it 10
regard to future negotiations, but there is
no dissemination. The only charge
against Lords Stanley and Clarendon is
that they were too yielding, but the House
of Commons were not likely to ad-
wise the withdrawal of the concessions
made, nor were they prepared to
lay down plan for future negotiations,
and anticipations of such results from dis
cussion had we're most imprudent. An
other reason for declining diecus,ion is due
TO national dignity, which forbids our sp-
preaching the American government on
these questions. Public opinion is unani-
nous on this point. The late treaty was
virtually American, for it was made al
tered aud realtered by Seward and John
son. 1t was rejected as much through paI-
ty antipathies as from discontent with its
provisio %,

A LADY GoRRD BY DEEP.-The Sa-
vanDah News of the 5th inst says: CAT
an early hour yesterday morning, as a
lady, residing in the southern part Of the
city, was returning from early mass
at st. Johns (Catholic) Church, through
Liberty street, she was attacked by a
deer kept by a gentleman in that vicinity,
and which had, in some way, got into the
street The lady was knocked down, her
clothes badly torn, and her face and
head quite severely scratched and
bruised, a ring being torn from one Of
her ears. Deer, while young, are gentle
and harmless, but, as they grow strong,
they become vindictive and dangerous
and frequently do much mischief"

Townsend is as black as q black cat in a

most of his time in Jail since the surren-
der, charged with stealing mules,
hogs, and chickens. He is con-
sidered the meaneast negro in
the county by both black and white peo-
pie, and there are but few blacks that will
associate with him. All look upon him
as a notorious thief and liar, and we saw
the negroes of Brandon get rail to ride
him out of town last summer. All th'
hogs ia his neighborhood have taken u
the swamps, and the chickens roost in th'
topmost branches of the trees"

TO DETECT MALARIOUs DISTRICTS.

The Engineer is authority for test
whereby we should judge careful heads
of families seeking rural homes for the
the summer may satisfy themselves-and
that with far more certainty than from
the assertion to the contrary of interested
property-holders - concerning the ex-
istence of fever and ague causes. In
regions subject to miasmatic diseases
organic matter is found in the
greatest abundance in the form of
spores. The Identifying OF these
spores depends on the property of sui
phuric acid to set free carbon from its
combinations in organic substances. If,
then, a watch-glass containing sui phuric
acid be exposed to the atmosphere of a
suspected region, its surface will become
blackened with rapidity depending up
on the malarial tendencies of the place.

where the sun Does Not Set.

The following graphic passage is
from the description of a scene wit
messed by a Mr.. Campbell and his
party. in the north of Norway, from a
cliff 1000 feet above the sea
The ocean stretched away in silent
vastness at our feet; the sound of its
waves scarcely reached our airy look
ont; away in the north the huge old
sun swung low along the horizon
like the slow beat of the pendulum
in the tell clock Of our grandfather's s
parlOr corner. We all stood silent,
looking at our watches. When both
hands came together at twelve, mid
night, the full round orb hung tri-
umphantly above the waters-a bridge
of gold running due north spanned
the wa ter between us and Aim. There
he shone in silent majesty, which
knew no setting. We invOluntarily
took off our hats, no word was said.
Combine, if you can, the most bril-
liant sunrise and sunset you ever saw,
and its beauties will pale before the
gorgeous coloring which now lit up
the ocean, heaven and mountain. In
half an hour the sun had swung up
perceptibly on his beat, the cOiOTs
changed to those of morning, a fresh
breeze rippled over the flood, one
songster after another piped up in the
grove behind us-and we slid into an
other day.
