1t was four O'Clock when they left home
SO their failure to return before nightfall oc
casioued but lt.le alarm. After that, how
ever, their continued absence rendered the
distracted parents almost frantic. The fear

night and part of the next day fearfully
intensified tl,oi'ifeeliugs of the bereavcd

If the young ladies whom we meet with are
o perform the part Of housekeepcrs, when
he young men who now eye them admiring-
y have persuaded them to become their
wives. We listen to those young ladies of
whom we speak, and hear them not only ac-
but boasting Of their Ignorance of
all household duties, ns if nothing would SO
lower them in the esteem of their friends as
the confession of an ability to bake bread and
pies, or cook picco of meat or u disposition
to engage in any usefuIemployment. Speak
ing from ourown youthful rocolections, we
are FREQ to sai that taper fingers and lily
white hands are very pretty to look at with
young mans eyes, and sometimes we have
known the artless innocence of practical
knowledge displayed by young miss to ap
pear rather interesting than otherwise. But
we have lived long enough to learn that life
is full of rugged experiences, and that the
most loving, romantic and delicate people must
live on cooked or otherwise prepared food,
and in homes kept clean and tidy by indus
trious hands. Aud for all practical purposes
of married life, it is generally found that for
the husband tosit and gaze at the wifc's taper
fingers and Highlands, or for q wife to sit and
be looked at and admired, tends not to make
the pot boil or put the smallest piece of food
in the pot. '& ''"'-''s
FRASER, TRENHOLM & Cove published
a few days agr brief telegram, which will
be a little moro, clearly explained by the fol-
lowing Associate Press dispatch, whici was
North from Washington 4.g.
Three years ago the Government made nm
agreement with Fraser, Trenholm & Co ,in
settlement for the effects they had on hand as
agents Of the lutc Confederate States, and
which were claimed by the United States as
public property. This agreement, ifcopsum-
mated by the agents, would havo placed 10
the Treasury halfIa million dollars in gold.
An agent Of these parties is now In this city
to induce the Government TO compromise the
matter by taking their promissory notes for
$4,000 in currency and Diminishing all leglu
proceedings against them, both here and in
England. Fraser, Trenholm Il Co. have, it
is said, several million dollars worth Of land
ed estate in South Carolina, all Of which is
under injunction byorder oftne Court to sat-
isfy the olaim of'the Governments. e"N2
