TIE MODEL DOMESTIC.-A trlend Of ours
who resided some time in Havana had, he tells
us, Chinese cook, aud from his experience
with this one has conceived high opinion oi
the Chinese iu general. The cock was com
plete servant; he not only prepared ii his
dishes in the most admirable manner, learning
most readily everything new, and improved on
almost everything he learned, but his peculiar
e4rciulneSs, Gellcacy aud cleanliness made
everything especially appetizing.
Besides doing the cooking he otiiclated as
dining room servant also, swept the house, nc,
and did the houSewOrk 10 general, lie was pc
culiarly attentive 10 hiS employers clothes,
boots, &c. When dinner was upon the table
aud announced, he was found at the head OF
the table, ready to wait upon the company, and
no two or three walters would have performed
The duties thereof more satisfactorily.
His peculiar trait seemed to be constant OBJ
scryatlcn and the faculty to pick out exeeIIen-
cies and to adopt and practice them. 10 enable
us to Judge Of his cleanliness our friend told US
that his Chinaman dressed always IN white,
l)wn TO his very slippers, and that ne kept
himself SO clean that he never saw any DIRT
stains upon his clothes His cooking utensils,
after Use, were at once cleaned and kept so clean
that il was stomach assuring at all times TO see
hun or his kitchen. Such is, at least, one

Senator Cain and the Radical Poli-
ttcfans

"Daddy Cain," the colored senator from
Charleston, tells the colored people, in the
last number of the Missionary Record, that
they must change their policy and elect
honest men to Office. He says:
"Colored men must plac, their eyes on every
Office now filled by nea who have leaped into
them by the means OF fraud ard corrur Ion.
Remember that none of them have beue lifted
your race ono sou mqrkee, and yet you have
foisted them into Office, and are now walking
about the streets, penuiless, homeless, and
without prospect Of ever attaining anything.
Each man you have elevated to Office receives
his thousands Of dollars yearly. yet not one
dollar OF that means is placed within yoar
reach. What enterprise have they engaged in
which will give one colored man a dollar !?
Not one of these men has done anything with
his means to augment the wealth Of the State
or encourage any enterprise which would give
employment to man in this State. Colored
men must change their policy and encourage
such men in public affairs as will give the State
something In return for the honor conferred
upon them. Change your policy, and make
honor contingent with the States prosperi.
ty' He whom the State honors, should
honor the State and his constituents by
return 10 her and them OF such measures
as will guarantee material prosperity. We
would favor sending to the Legislature
honest mechanics and farmers, whose
minds are not biased by political chicanery;
at any rate, let us have honest men who are
identified with the country's prosperity and
| the peoples interest"

which is q short distance from the premises,
oneof the officers perceived slight movement
of the coffin lid, which had not yet been
screwed down. The lid being raised, 10 and
behold, instead of dead black man, live
white convict was found lying in the coffin.
He was hustled out summarily and required to
give an explanation. 1t appears that early in
the morning, while the other convcts we're at
breakfast. he smuggled himself into the room
where the coftin was, removed the corpse OF
the colored man, deposited it in an empty
barrel, and got into the coffin himself, expect
ing that be would be carried outside the walls
and before reaching the burying-ground Jump
out and escape. Being almost smothered' he
raised the lid slightly to get breath Of ar'
and was thus discovered in time to spoil his

minute or two longer, the lid would have been
screwed down, and he would probably have
been smotheIed to death.

English Pluck. I.

That America can "whip creation" has
passed into q Yankee axiom; and the belief
that John Bull has wholesome dread Of
an encounter, under any circumstances,
with Brother Jonathan, has taken singu.
larly strong hold on the popular mind at
the North. We are glad to see, however,
that one leading American journal has had
the manliness and good sense to publicly
recognise the folly and sbsurdity Of the
cry that " England won't fight" The New
York Times says:
"Nothing could be greater mistake than
such sentiment about England. She is,
indeed, the great trading nation Of the
world, and the one that has moat to lose by
war. She has the caution of an old vete-
l ran who knows what hard blows mean.
But pluck 10 tradition with every English.
man personally, and national quality.
Much as Euglsnd loves money and com
.mcfcs Enu pc&oe;T sre wuutu Bse every rrs--
ding packet burned, her manufactures swept
into the sea, and her rich fields made as
Georgia was behind Sherman, rather than
submit to q national indignity or give up
what she considers her just right There
is no doubt Of this to any one who knows
the English people.
"She has the same old fire which has
blazed out on so many battle fields, and
which burned 80 recently in the veins Of
her offspring-who sacrificed the lives and
wealth of whole generation rather than
suffer wrong to triumph and the nation
be overthrown. Not ghost Of a party
would be found on the side Of peace in
Great Britain if the nation, once believed
itself insulted and about to be forced 10
bear indignity.
,s..The Liberals and peace men would then
be on tha side Of war. The dangerous
classes would vanish, as did our New York
rowdies during our struggle; the Fenians
would be Of no more account than are our
disaffected Indians now; debt and expense
would be forgotten, aud the stored wealth
and capital Of centuries would be poured
out for the work Of destruction. Nor would
the old mother land be contemplate an
tagonist. Thirty millions Of compact peo-
pie burning for war form an enormous
power. The British navy is tremendous
implement; and the experiment Of landing
troops on the coast Of Ireland, with feet
of . thousand hostile vessels watching the
ocean, we can imagine would be somewhat
hazardous. Modern warfare is contest Of
purses, and in such struggle the little
island would stand equal, at least, with any
competitor"
