discovered.
The ramifcations of the plot against the
Emperor seem much wider spread than
at first supposed, and new developments
are continually coming to light. Arrests
continue in all directions.

CAUSE OF THE CROWD.
On the performance in Virginia of the
original programme of reconstruction in
| all its parts, the State was declared duly
| in the Union, and Senators and Repre-
scntatives were admitted to Congress fol
the same. In pursuance of the powers
expressly given it, the State government
thus recognized proceeded to re ESTABLISH
civil law throughout its jurisdiction by al
act, called an enabling act, under which
the military appointees sheriffs
councilmen, Judges, constables, and so OF
were to yield their several offices to in
cumbents elected by the people, Agains
this the appointees protested, claiming th
right to hold, by virtue of their militar,
appointment, for as long term as if the,
had been elected. Under Radical incite
ment this absurd claim, which pei
haps but for such Indictment woul
never have been made, was insiste
on, and as it involved the whole ministt
rial machinery of the State, at ono
brought about grave Complications,
was feared by the people of VTgini
that a design existed in Washingto
to overthrow the reconstruction of th
State by means of this claim, and, fror
the horror felt at the very idea of goin
, through the cruel process of reconstrut
ton anew, it is easy to see that the greai

GIRLs. Should LEARN TO KEEP
HoUsE.-No young lady can be too veil
instrncted in anythig which will
affect the comfort Of a family.
Whatever position in society sue
occupies, she needs practical knowi-
edge of household duties. She may be
placed in such circumstances that it
will not bic necessary for her TO perform
much domestic labor; but On this ac-
count she needs no less knowledge than
il she was obliged to preside
personally over the cooking stove aud
the pantry. Indeed, 1 have thought
that it is moro difficult to direct others,
and requires moro experience, than to
do the Same work with our own hands.
Mothers are frequently so nice and
particular that they do uot like to give
up any part Of the care to their children.
This is great mistake in their
management, for they are often burden
cd with labor and need relief. Children
should be early taught to make them.
selves useful to assist their parents
every way in their power, and to con-
slider it privilege to co SO.
Young people cannot realize the impor.
tance Of a thorough knowledge Of house
wifery but those who have suffered the
Inconvenience and modification oil igno.
rance can we'll appreciate it. Children
should be early INDUCED in their dispo.
sition to bake and experiment in various
ways. 1t is often but troublesome
help that they afford still it is great
advantage to them. know little girl
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 be
came quite an expert baker. Whenever
she is disposed to try her skill in ma
king simple pies or cakes, she is per-
mitted to do SO. She is thus, while
amusing herself, learning an important
lesson. Her mother calls her little house.
keeper, and often permits her to get
what is necessary for this table. She
hangs the keys by her side, and very
musical is the jingling to her ears. l
think before she is out of her teens, upon.
which she has not yet entered, that she
will have some idea how to cook.
oo"o iuotuers give theiT daughters
the care Of housekeeping, each week
by turns. 1t seems to me q good ar
rapgement and most useful part of
their education. Domestic labor is by
no means incompatible with the highest
degree Of rcfineme and mental culture.
Many of the most elegant, accomplish.

BY 80 doing.
Economy, taste, skill in cooking,
and neatness of tho kitchen, have a
great deal to do in making life happy
and prosperous. The charm Of good
housekeeping is in order, economy and
taste displayed in attention to little
things; and these things have wonder
tul influence. A dirty kitchen and bad
cooking have driven mdny one from
home to seek comfort and happiness
somewhere else. None OF our excellent
girls are fit to be married until they arc
thoroughly. educated in the deep and pro.
found mysteries of the kitchen:
