Style.

The New Yorks Herald's Washington
correspondent is responsible for the fol
lowing: "Modern economy is an ex-
pensiye luxury. Just examine one spe-
cimen. Under Andrew johnson there
was very clever official, named Cush-
aw, who acted as grand usher to the
President. For Sl,600 year he con-
sented to take the whole White House
on his shoulders. For that modest sum
he was content to bear the abuse of
countless visitors and to repay all with
uniform politeness and courtesy. How
is it under President Grant There is
Dent, full Brigadier, with asalary Of 50,
600 per annum Crook receiving 81 600
Price likewise, $1,000; young Douglas,
$500; Adams (not George W., bit an
other MANI, 81 900; and Simmonds, a
gentleman of color, 800 per month for
simply bearing cards of visitors from
the emInently polite Dent to the Presi-
dents private office All these officials
combined discharge the duty which Cus-
haw monopolized under President John
son. In other words, it now requires
s13,3S0 to accomplish the laborious bu-
siness of attending the White House
visitors, while it only cost 1000 under
johnson. There is nothing like econ
omy."

Paris Woman

Boston Journal, than the Partisan, can
not be found on the face of the globe
In church, at places of amusement n the
promenade, in saloons ofroyalty. in par
ties very distinguished and regarded as
very genteel, declare l have scarcely
seen well-dressed lady in Paris, one
who did not look frowsy, whose hair was
not untidy, and whose complexion would
not look the better for soap and water
They may make the incest fitting gloves
in the world, but they don't wear them
They may send cut the daintiest shoes
that can be made, but they are not found
on the feet Of the ladies. Their NIGEL,
fitting dresses may be found in all tht
cities of the world, but the dresses worr
by the ladies of Paris are ill-fitted, i'll
adjusted, without harmony of color, with
out that indescribable touch which mark;
the lady OF taste and discrimination
The more costly the material the less be
coming thepartics appear. Except the
Empress, l have not seen an elegantly
dressed Partisan lady.

In order that those Of our young men

they are to fight for, we give as accurate
"a description of it as we can gather from

nal stripes of alternate blue and white
(blue first, counting from the top ar
ranged precisely as are the red and white
stripes of our own banner. The triangle
we have referred to is an isosceles one
with its base resting upon the flagstaff,
and its apex projecting to point about
halfway between the staff and the center
of the flag. The space within this tri
angle is red, and a lone star of white
shines in the center it. This is the Flag
of Free Cuba, and a right pretty one it is

The Inteligencer says Grant ''is very
careles of his word" That is to say he
is liar. Oh, for shame! However,
General MeClernand, General Rosecrans
and, other eminent, Copper heads thought,
so some few years ago.
Efforts have been made on the part of
the French Government to prevent the
publication of the great work on the
Mexican expedition which Juarez is
about to issue in Brussels. This work
will contain all the secret dispatches
which Napoleon sent to Maximilian, and
a great many other important papers,
The book is sure to create great sensa-
ton in Europe.
Advices from San Domingo to the 9th
ult state that the Dominican Government
had concluded loan of f400,000 with
Messrs. Harlmont, of London. Bills to
the amount of 100000 had been drawn,
but there were doubts of their accept
alce. The Republic was reported COM
pletely tranquil. The district custom
house at Puerto Plato was recently de-
stroyed by fire. There were evidences
that ex President Carrcl was meeting
with success in his revolutionary mov. :
ment against Baez in the South.

ES The Charivari gives the following
advice to young gentlemen, under the
heading, The artof loving on the cars"
Permit me to suggest to you a very
easy way of kissing a number Of pretty
women You are in railroad car, and
two or threesladies and one or two gen
tlemen enter the same coupe. At the
first tunnel through which the train
passes, as soon as nobody can see you,
you put very loud kiss on the back Of
your hand. Nothing is more curious
than to see the faces Of your fellow-tray
elers as soon as the train emerges from
the tunnel. The gentlemen cast furious
gIances about them; the ladies blush,
each of them believing that her fair
neighbor received the kiss and ignorant
of the man who gave it to her. Every
thing goes well; your prospects are ex-
cellent. At the second tunnel You bold.
ly kiss the first lady :; she -dares not cry,
out, bearing in mind as she does that
her fair companion, to whom happened
the same misfortune, did not say any
thing. Can she behave more indignant
ly? Would'she not thereby betray the
other lady to her husband? For the
rest, the second kiss was not. as loud as
the first. At the third tunnel the same
course is to be pursued toward the other
lady, who, for the same reason, does
not say anything. Thus you get kiss
at every tunnel except the first one"

Mr.. Bright wanted to see Mr.. Childcrs
and went to the admiralty Office fol
the purpose. Not knowing where Mr.
Childers' office was, he tried to find il
without assistance, but after two or three
attempts gave up and entered room to
inquire his way. He found only one
person within, his back to the door, his
feet on the fender, and the Times in his
hands. Mr.. Bright asked this absorbed
individual which was Mr.. Childers' room
but got no answer, though he asked
three times. He then made his way out
and returning to his office wrote note
to Mr.. Childers that the occupant OF
room No.-was idle, and deaf or inso,

at once. The number was that of Mr.
Childers' own room, and it was the back

The Times is now printed by new
machinery so perfect and so simple that
it taken but one engineer and three Ia
borers to print off the whole edition of
the Times. The principle of the ma
chine is that the paper is not cut into
sheets before it is printed, butts brought
to the machine in a long roll 1t passes
through the machine, is printed on both
sides, and is divided as it passes out,
the whole process being automatic
The idea has long been worked at BY
engineers, but has only lately been car
cried out, under the superintendent OF
Mr.. Macdonald, the engineer who has

Vinegar Plant--zIOV All Can Have
Good Vinegar,

Itbe!ongs to the genus of fungals { Pen
icilium glaucum j and is easily propa
gated by following the annexed recipe
Take half pound of brown sugar pint
ofmolasses, simmer them in three quarts
of water till well dissolved. then place the
mixture in wooden or stone pot, cover
it over, and place behind the stoves in a
warm situation. In about six or seven
weeks you will find foating ON the top a
tough fleshy substance-this is the vine
gar plant; the mixture will have turned
to vinegar, but, of poorer quality than
will be manufactured without its aid
Now prepare mixture as before, and
when coolish, lay over it the vinegar plant
A bit of lathing or shingle should be laid
upon the mixture before placing the plant
over it, as the vinegar is ofa purer quail
ty if the plant does not lie wholly upon
it. Set it behind the stove or beside the
range, covering it closely, and IN two
weeks or more, taste it; if sharp vinegar
bottle it, and continue your manufacture.
The vinegar is of dark color, but offar
better quality than what's bought gen
orally for cider vinegar, but has never
seen apples. 1t is probable that what is
termed the smother" in vinegar is close
ly allied to this plant, and might be en-
ployed by those who desire to produce
"vinegar plant without delay. The
coat Of vinegar made in this manner is
extremely small, and, as it is condiment
so universally employed in culinary mat
ters, we recommend it to our readers,
We do not think that there is anything
deleterious in its properties, and it would
certainly give many families large sup
ply of vinegar who would be unable to
procure it in any other manner. A small
wooden butter firkin would be an excell-
ent utensil for its preparation, as it could
be covered tightly.

The Paciilc Railway swindle.

The public is good deal vexed, but
not very greatly surprised, by the ac.
ton of the Pacific railway companies in
fixing their freight and passenger char
ges at rates which are simply an outra.
geous extortion, and which will tend to
restrict rather than to encourage com
mercial NOV over the route. The
Central company have fixed their pass
cnger tariff at ten cents mile in gold,
and their freight tariff at fifteen cents a
ton per mile in gold, which is equivalent
to Sl05 per ton from Sacramento to
Promontory Point. The Union Pacific
charges are on the same preposterous
scale. The Sacramento Union newspa-
per very truly declares that, at these
rates, the Pacific railway will not trans
port a thousand tons year of Asiatic
goods to the Mississippi Valley. AT
these rates, or even one half or one-third
of these rates, the grand flow of COM
merce from the Pacific toward the At
lsntic. of which every one has been in
dulging in bright anticipatlons, VIII
prove to be the most '.baseless fabric OF
a vision" that human imagination ever
created. 1t is quite immaterial to the
owners Of this prodigious railway mon
opoly. They have got the road; they
have got some forty or fifty millions of
dollars clear profit out of the govern
ment bonds that built it, and they have
got the millions of acres of land along
the line which eregiven to them as a
bonus for doing SO much TO enrich them
selves. The lands will keep up the
market value of the railway stocks to q
high figure, even should the road not
transport pound of freight or carry a
single passenger in the next twenty
years. Why should they invite traffic,
which would only serve to more speedi-
ly wear out their rails ? The road, more
over, is in no condition to do business.
The report of the government commits
sioners establishes the fact that it will
require an expenditure of many millions
upon both roads, to bring them UP to
the requirements of the law 1t appears
to be the purpose of the companies to
levy whatever it will cost them to fulfil
their original bargain with the govern
ment, as n tax upon the commerce and
travel that may be compelled to seek
this route. h A
