HoUsEwoRK FOR GIRLs.-It isthe law of
God that no human beings can have sound
vigorous body, accomplish much physi-
cally, and enjoy long life, without good
muscles. Though there is a variety of
ways by which exercise may be obtained,
yet domestic labor is best adapted to de-
velop and strengthen the whole system.
Within few years much interest has been
awakened upon the subject of physical ex-
ercise, particularly as connected with
schools and seminaries of learning. Be-
sides the outdoor exercises and games,
calisthenics and gymnastics have been in
troduced inside the school-room, and are
becoming part Of the regular exercises
in many Institutions This is an improve
ment in the right direction, and is good as
far as it goes, but is entirely inadequate to
meet fully the demands of nature.
No kind of exercise for girls is so well
calculated as household work to develop
all the muscles of the body-to do it in
early life, and gradually, under circum-
stances favorable to health generally. The
girl and young woman must thus be train
ed year after year, otherwise She will nev-
er obtain that hardihood of constitution,
that strength of muscle, that power OF en-
durance; or in other words, that balance
of temperament so essential to good health
and happiness in all the social and domes-
tic relations of life-Dr. Allyne.

THE JEWISH SABBATH.

Let us accompany good orthodox jew
ish family through their calm and cheerful
Sabbath and see how they keep it and enjoy
it. select an orthodox family, instead of a
reformed" merely Because the orthodox
jew is an historical person; as he keeps
his Sabbath as his fathers have kept it for
many centuries. The Jewish Sabbath be-
gins on Friday evening half an hour be-
fore sunset, and ends on Saturday even
ing half an hour after sunset, or when
star is visible in the sky. On Friday, the
day of preparation, the women and girls
OF the family are busy in providing for the
morrow the best food OF the week for
whatever is eaten or drank during the joy
Gus sacred hours must be the very best the
family can afford. Poor Jews will pinch
all the week in order that their wives and
children may have something delicious to
eat on the Sabbath. But that savory food
must be cooked or prepared for cooking
before the Sabbath begins; for our Israeli
itish brethren observe with Just strictness
the law which gives rest on the day of rest
to their servants. They shame us in this
particular. They will not use even their
horses on their Sabbath. On Sunday,
about twelve NJ, you may see in front
of DIR. Adams fashionable Presbyterian
church in Madison square, New York, or
around DR.. Tyng's fashionable Episcopal
church, in St. Georges square of the same
city, from twenty to forty well-appointed
equippages waiting for the last hymn to be
finished; but you will never see a vehicle
before the superb Temple Emmanuel, a
Jewish synagogue in the Fifth Avenue, al
though there are many families within who
could ride home, if they would, in their own
carriages. l do not say that the Christians
are wrong or the Jews right in this. 1t is
no ones business but their own. But il
we borrow the Hebrews word Sabbath,
and adopt, verbally, their Sabbatical law,
our practice perhaps ought to conform in
some degree to our profession. 1t prob
ably does not severely tax those coachmen
and footmen to show off their gay turnouts
and brilliant liveries on fine Sunday
morning in the Fifth Avenue. But for the
heavy-laden drudges ofthe clearinghouse
kitchen, and the maid-ot-all work in aver
age families, | could wish we were all Jews
from Saturday night till morning. 1t is
dastardly shame to compel or permit
women, who have faithfully toilcd for US
from Mondays tub to Saturdays scrub, to
work hard all through the best hours of
Sunday merely that we may gorge our
selves with dainty food. The Jews avoid
this barbarous meanness. Their servants
rest on their Sabbath. h.-James Patron in
the atlantic.

PEOPLE DO LIVE WITHOUT MONEY!
The Overland Monthly tells how the Nor
mons get along without greenbacks
Hundreds Of comfortable farmers, living
in reasonable comfortable circumstances,
and having large families to clothe and ed
ucate will not see dollar in money for
wears. Such a farmer wishes to purchase
pair of shoes for his wife. He consults
the shoemaker. who AYERS his willingness
to furnish the same for one load of wood.
He has no wood, but sells calf for
quantity of adobes, and adobes for an or
der of wood on the merchant payable in
goods, and the order for a load of wood,
and straghtway the matron is shod. Seven
watermelons purchase ticket of admis-
sion to the theatre. He pays for the tuition
of his children, rs cabbages per quarter.
The dressmaker receives for services four
squashes per day He settles his church
dues in sorghum molasses. Two loads of
pumpkins pay his annual subscription to
the newspaper. He buys a Treatise on
Celestial Marriage" for Il load of gravel,
and bottle of soothing syrup for the baby
for Il bushel of string beans. In this primi-
tive method, until the advent of the rail
road, was nine-tenths of the business of
the territory conducted. And even now,
in the remote settlements, a majority Of all
transactions are of this character.

An iron railroad tie has recently been in
vented, which, it is argued, is actually
cheaper than the wooden crOss-ties now in
use. The wooden ties, it is stated, cost
about seventy cents each, and must be re-
placed every three or four years, while the
iron tie, costing three dollars, when pro-
tected from corrosion by a coating of coal
tar, will never wear out. The most useful
point of the invention is the method of
affixing the rail. A half chair is. cast on the
tie, and the other half, composed of wrought
The rail rests upon a rubber cushion four
inches thick, and five inches in length,
which is protected by tightly fitting iron
cap one-eighth of an inch thick. 1t is
claimed that the rubber cushions will keep
the ends of the rails from being beaten
down, and VII, by preventing concusslon,
to glide smoothly and rapidly along the
track.

We copy the following dispatch to the
Louisville Courier Journal:
emit writes from New Orleans on the second,
that on that morning, in fhe United States
Court, Judge Dnrell presiding. the United
States District Attorney, u. X. Beckwitf.
called up the case Of Perry Fuller, ex-
Collector Of New Orleans, against whom
nineteen indictments had been found by the
Grand Jury for fraudulent entries OF sugar
and coffee during his term of office.
the civil cases tried last year resulting in
+ every case in a rerdict of confiseation against
the consignees, Auguste Coutourie g. Co.
The whole amount involved was some
millions of dollars The cases since have
been compromised in Washington by the
payment of the duties, but tie criminal
charges against the officers OF customs,
through whose active connivance abe frauds
were perpetrated. remained on the docket.
The United States District Attorney en-
deavored to bring these to an isaSe. The
result is that Perry Fuller has been called
twice on his bond, and failed to appear.
His sureties, Alexander NJ. Mcdonald,
United States Senator from Arkansas, and
e. G.. Ross, United States Senator from
Kansas, were then called upon to bring the
body Of Perry Fuller into court. They
failed to make answer. District Attorney
Beckwith moved for an alias capias, stating
that the bonds we're taken in Washington,
and seemed to be very imperfect. if net
worthless. An order was made.
Waddy Thompson, against whom indlct-
mcnts Of similar character had been found,
was then called ON his bail, and also failed
to appear. District Attorney Beckwith
stated that the bond of the accused had
been stolen at Memphis Thompson had
been several times arrested at Memphis,
near which city he had a, magnificent plan
tati0n, but has always been released by
Obliging the courts with writs of habeas cor
pus.
The correspondent, after citing one of the
thirteen cases found against Perry Fuller
and associates, to illustrate the heinons ma
ture of the charges, says the prosecution of
these cases in the civil courts cost the gov
eminent at least one hundred thousand
dollars, and, after cOnfscation had been
lecreed, in every case compromises have
i,een effected by the Simple payment of
dnties, which the party was willing to pay
from the first.
The main argument on the trial was, that
it was the officers of the United States Gus
tomhonse who were really the guilty
offenders, These have been released on
straw bail, or at least upon informal recog-
nizances, and thus, this p,uch Wanted vim
dicatiOn of integrity of revenue laws ends
in costly fizzle. There is mouse in the
mealhOuse somewhere, and the United
States Senators, together with a dis
tinguished Congressman from Indiana,
could probably give information upon the
subject.
