For the thoroughness of the Congress
ional investigation of the Gold Conspi-
racy the country is largely indebted to
the Chairman of the Committee, Mr..
Garfield. There were obstacles TO the
inquiry at the outset, and during its pro-
gress there were divers attempts to per-
vert aud thwart it. Mr.. Garfeld's un-
firing industry and unbending integrity
carried him through all difficulties, and
enabled him to make his report e&haus-
tive and satisfactory. Its recommends
tions are fair subject for controversy.
It's elucidation of facts is, however, com
plete, and its vindication of the Admin
istration leaves nothing to be desired.

There is yet reasonable hope that the
cruel canard announcing the safe arrival
of the City of Boston at Liverpool which
on the sth rejoiced the City and excited
Congress, may prove q happy prediction.
Numerous sailing vessels which left
this port several days previous to the de-
parture of the missing steamer have just
arrived out. If the machinery of the
City of Boston has become disabled and
she is trusting to her sails, as surmised,
hopes of her safety need not yet be aban

Two HUNDRED YEARS BEHIND THE AGE.-
The Rip Van Wrinkles of Connecticut recently
held what is called Democratic State Con-
vention at which it was resolved, THAT the
State of Connecticut is to-day the same free
and independent State that it has been for
more than two hundred years" AS more
than two hundred years ago Connecticut was
an English colony, these fellows evidently
imagine themselves British subjects, and either
mean this as compliment to the English
throne, or declaration of Independence,
They can have no idea of the Revolution and
the formation of our present Union, in which
Connection merged her sovereignty with the
colonies. We presume her next step will be a
petition to George the III, for grant of addi-
tional rights and privileges, or possibly propo
sition to treat for the Independence of the ma

A RrIrhf Clown,

Henry ~, of France, was fond OF
playing practical jokes on his sujectsi
but he sometimes found bright pea
SAINTS who were quite ready to take
off the joke on their side. Here is a
specimen:
Henry ", of France, being out
once hunting, lost his party and was
riding alone. Observing a country
fellow standing upon a gate, appa-
rently on the watch, he asked him
what he was looking for.
I've come here, says he ''to see
the king"
''Get up behind me- replied that
monarch, "and l will soon conduce
you to the place we're you will be
sure to see him.
Hodge, without any scruple,
mounted, but as they were riding
along he put sagacious questions
"They tell me he has got power OF
lords with him; how may a body
know which is him?'
The king replied that he would be
able to distinguish him by seeing
all his attendants take off their hats,
while he himself remained uncover
ed.
Soon after they joined the hunt
when all the circle,as may well be ex-
pected, were greatly surprised to see
the king so oddly attended.
When they were arrived, his ma
jesty, turning to the clown, asked
him if he thought he could tell which
was the king.
81 don't know" said he: but,
faith it must be one of us two, for
we've both got our hats on"

arising from the stew was almost
enough to drive one from the house.
A good dinner can be half spoiled
by being carelessly put ON the table
and every one knows how the best
of material can be spoiled in cook
inc. Some house wives seem to have
wonderful skill insboth these de
partments; good flour is converted
into a sour, indigestible mass, and
fresh vegetables, by being all cooked
together, lose all their own peculiar
excellencies, and seem only to imbibe
the bad traits Of their neighbors.
The whole meal, when the family
are called upon to partake of it, has
much the appearance Of having been
throw on the table.
How seldom we see a glass OF
flowers on the supper table in ouI
American homes! Yet what a charm
they throw over the plainest meal;
How refining their influence on the
hearts of children-how cheering
and delightful to all flower lovers
Nothing that makes home pleasant
and bright, is too trifing to receive
our earnest study and attention.

Setting the Table.

s'Susy, run and get the salt-dish,
said mother as the family began theil
morning meal, 'and bring me anoth-
er cup and two saucers."
Il havn't got any fork, saidTom,
Guess I'll eat with my fingers"
mo, indeed said his mother, "go
right away and get yourself fork.
Il do wish we could have a pitch
er Of cool water on the table" said
father, whatever else we don't
have"
''Kate get some water for your
father, and do always try to remem-
ber that;I am sure I have told you
often enough"
The three children were at last in
their places again, and something
like quiet was restored.
Il do hope we can get on now
without having one get up again
until the meal in over," said father
1T makes so much confusion and
discomfort. Whose business isto to
set the table?
"Kate's," said little Susy.
swell, Kate. if you will set it for
one week without having. one thing
missing when we sit down, will
give you a new dress
Kate was pleased with the propo-
sal, and determined to exert herself
TO the utmost. She made the simple
matter of setting the table a study,
and the increased order and comfort
of tee family meals would have been
a good reward, without the new dress
which she at last succeeded in earn
ing.
There is a science about setting
the table, which is often neglected
in country homes. The first acrdinal
point is a clean, decent table-cloth.
Even if it is made out of hempen
cloth, it looks inviting II it is per-
fectly neat and smoothly spread.
Better wash three times in a week
than to call your family to sit down
to a cOfee-stained tablecloth. It is
not much Of a task to wash out one
or two through the week, and it pays
for the trouble many times over.
Then let the plates and cups be
shining and evenly set, the knives
bright, the saltdish and sugar-bowl
(which are so ofteu neglected. spot
less, and let every spoon be in its
place. a little care and forethought
can prevent the disorder which so
often spoils half the meal in coun-
try houses, as one after another is
sent for missing articles.
I have seen a table full Of men sit
down to dinner in g large, brick farm
house, where one great platter in the
middle of the table was madeto hold
turnips, potatoes, beets and pork,
all having been boiled in one pot.
The beets had given their peculiar
hue to everything else, and the odog
