And how it would reduce the cost of
iivingl For il is not the bare cost of
food and clothes that makes our ex-
penses so high it is the fuel we burn,
and the waste necessarily consequent
on buying and cooking food i'll small
quantities. On this point Dio Lewis
says, Nothing but recklessness and
greediness could make the cost of well
cooked and healthy food more than half
that of the miserably cooked, unhealthy
stuffs now served by Bridget from our
little imperfect kitchens.
But what would women then find to
do? All, that is the question. Doubt
less they would be Immediately into all
manner of mischief, meddling with pol
itics, etc. For my part know 3 num-
Der of women who would be glad to be
relieved in this manner, so that they
might devote a little more time and
care to precious little ''limp backed ba-
bies," or to tending and teaching those
little babies when they outgrow their
''limp backedness" and keep one in hot
water by running into all sorts of dan
gerOus places, peeping down the wells
escaIading the fences of neighboes

EEBEAUTY WILL TELL"
The Influence OF Pretty Women i'm
Washington.

The Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Republican writes as fol-
lows:
But just as long as women are weak
and men are powerful, some of the
evils of the departments never will be
remedied. 1t is so much more comfort
able to jaded man, worn out i'll the
arduOus duties as head of a bureau, to
see fresh, young, pretty-faced woman
at an adjoining desk, rather than one
with all the sweet juice of life squeezed
out of her, whether by age or misfort-
une it matters not which. The first
one is the oil of the machinery of every
day life; the latter is the adhesive gum
which needs cleaning away. Women
who look with longing eyes to active
life in the Department at Washington,
had better consult their mirrors first,
unless Secretary Boutwell, makes new
laws to meet individual cases. 1t is
true, a few ''crones" may be found in
the basement of the building, but as
you ascend te the upper realms of the
castle, new visions of beauty greet the
eye until the spectator is lost in q daz-
cling dream OF enehantment as glorious
in its bewilderment as q Turkish
harem. In many cases these handsome
young women belong to Washington
families. They have good homes, and
are possessed with all the comforts and
luxuries of life, without even paying
for them. This enables them to spend
their wages in the adornment of their
persons. These are the girls whose
lives Mrs. SWisshelm SO bitterly de-
plOred. These are the women who
practice the Grecian bend and who dot
our avenues of brilliant afternoon as
the butterflies do the clover heath.
Petted darlings at home, petted darlings
at the Treasury, no wonder they are
spared their duties if they have the
headache or a new dress to make. No
soldiers widow or starving daughter
of the Republic can drive them from
their warm nests, for the reason that "a
thing of beauty is a joy forever" Gen.
Schenk says that he has tried in vain to
get place for young girl who had
two brothers killed in the army, and
who lost her father also in the army.
There are other beautiful women there,
the mention of whose names is enough
to bring the blush to every honest
woman's cheek, some public mans
plaything, and yet for such as these the
widows and daughters of our noble
soldiers must stand aside and sing the
''song of the shirt" or another quite as
sad. Has the sun of another day aris-
en-? With trembling form and bowed
head we shall wait and see.

on the Missouri river, and Fort Scott.
remote from All large streams, it is found
that the average fall at the latter place
is at least six inches more, annually,
than at the former. The cause of this
may be found in its situation near the
forest of the Ozark Hills, which almost
surround it from east to south. This
fact would seem to establish the theory
that the amount of rain depends more
upon the forests than upon the local
streams.
No experiments with irrigation have
been made, except the attempt this sea-
SON at several Military Posts on the Ar
kansas and Smoky Hill rivers to raise
vegetables By the assistance of irriga-
ton. How euccessful these experiments
will be, has not yet been determined.
Such enterprises are. from their great
expense-except for the raising of veg
etables for remote garrisons-consider-
ed impracticable.
The adaptability of the Great Table
to settlement must for many years be
more as a pastural region than the agri-
culturist. That these treeless plains may
become, evehtually, equally productive
with the prairies of the Western States,
requires no hopeful Imagination. For if
upon trial IL should be found that be-
yond the reglcn of permian limestone
certain elements were lacking in its
composition to insure fertility. Nature,
in its exhaustless munificence, has fur
nished along its very borders, in mex
haustible quantity, beds of gypsum and
limestOne-the most potent of fertil-
izers.
1t may not be improper, in view of
the future reclamation and adaptability
of this domain to the requirements of
agriculture, to submit all amendment to
the Homestead Law, enlarging the
amount of homestead and requiring the
successful cultivation of a certain por-
ton of each tract in forest trees. The
process of reclamation would necessari-
ly be slow, but would eventuate in re-
storing and reedeeming to the national
domain a new empire of civilization.
Very respectfully,
Your obedieRt servant,
III. S. SLEEPER,
Surveyor General.

LAWYERS In CONGRESS-.

Out of sixty-six Senators whose oc-
equations are stated in the Compression
al Directory, forty-five are lawyers, five
are merchants, five editors, four farmers
or planters, three bankers, two teachers,
one a manufacturer and one q railroad
owner. But forty-five are lawyers
prepOnderance which partly explains
the Outcry of poor Sprague of Rhode
Island. Sprague undoubtedly made q
goose of himself; but nevertheless is it
good thing to have in the Senate SO
great predOnderance of lawyers? The
House is not quite as strong i'll that ele-
ment; but there are mentioned as law
yers one hundred and nineteen, merch-
ants nineteen, editors sixteen, farmers
seven, manufacturers six, railroad men
five, bankers five, ministers two, doc
tors two, painter one and prize fighter
One-so that man has just twice the
chance to get to Congress if he is min
lister or doctor, that he has if he follows
prize fighting as a business! About
tWo-thirds of the members of both
Houses whose occupations are kno WI,
are lawyers. Is it not partly for this
reason that financial matters are so mud
died; that the practical and business in
terests of the country are SO little cared
for, and that so much of the time is
spent in legislation purely political in
its object and character? The business
man who goes to Congress, has his &C.
cupation and means of SUPP ort at home,
if he fails to get reelected but large
share of the lawyers who enter Con-
gress have not property to support
them and abandon their profession, and
it is natural that they seek to make pol
itics the business of their lives and also
to make it pay. Not a few of the evils
which affiict the country grow oIIt of
these facts, and yet it would be absurd
to under-rate the services of the legal
profession, or to overlook the fact that
many of the most useful members come
from that observation-disclosures Dem

lands conferred upon him. It is shocking
to learn ION the authority of Ben Johnson,
IN a letter TO Drummond, of Hawthornden,l
that She died for lack Of bread 70 but the
natural sympathies for his fate are much
weakened by the recollection, of the fact
that, like some modern English statesmen,
he was the warm advocate of Irish famines
as the true remedies for Ireland, and only
died a death to which he, had helped to
eonsign thousands of Irish people-men,
women, and children. He deliberately
urged, as sound policy, the artificial Gre
alton of famines in Ireland such as he
himself describes from actual personal
observation tout of every corner of the
woodes and glynness they came creeping
forth upon their hands, for their legges
could not beare them; they looked like
Anatomies Of death, they spake like ghosts
crying out of their graves; they did eat the
dead cartons, happy where.they could find
them-yea, and one another soon after,

fleeing from Justice, hoped to find refuge in
