Susan B. Anthony's Lecture.
A large and highly intellectual
and appreciative audience greeted
Susan B. Anthony, at Taylor &
Blake's Hall, last night, She was
introduced to the audience by Major
Hamilton, in . few well chosen re-
marks, after which she proceeded to
business without any circumlooution.
She is not endowed with any super
flaous graces Of person, or magnetic
influences, while her style OF oratory
is somewhat monotonous,-yet, she
managed to absorb tho attention Of
her auditors from the outset to the
close, on account Of her incisive and
unanswcrable logic, and intense earn
estness Of manner and voice. While
she pettifogged her case in labored
attempt to show that the 18th and
10Th amendments have already en-
franchised women from :sprevious
condition Of servitude,"-when it is
notorious that the trainers Of those
provisions meant no such thing, and
which is the best possible testimony
on that point,-she, nevertheless, in
the main, argued from better pre-
misses, and moro conclusivoly-that
female suffrage is right, and would
elevate both races, than any lady
speaker who ever addressed our peo.
pie.
Hor compliments Of Judge Lough-
ridge tor making the first report
recognizing the right Of female suf:
frage, which has ever been oxtorted
from the Judiciary COMMITTEES o
either house, brought down the CROWD
!. in hearty applause Of thas gentle
man.
Upon the whole, ler lecture wa.
admirable; contained many unan
swerable arguments for her side o.
the question furnished the thinking
portion Of those present with much
mental pabulum, and the giddy with
u pleasant sensation, and sent every
body homo well pleased with tht
effort. 5.

FATE OF VICE PREsIDENT.-Scn
Cameron declines being smothered with
the Vice Presidency. He has, we pre-
sumo, studied the history Of that office,
and noted that it was fatal to almost every
man who has held it. John Adams was
our first Vice Vresident, and he couldn't
effect reelection to the Presidency.
Col. Burr was ruined merely by running
tor the office, as that placed him in false
position toward Mr. Jefferson from the
consequences Of which he could never
rise. George Clinton became Vice Pres
ldent, and never could become anything
else, dying in the office; and so it was
with Elbridge Gerry. Gov. Tompkins
was expended in the place. Mr.. Calhoun
then took the Vice Presidency, being the
most popular man in the country but he
came to grief on the largest scale, and
made complete shipwreck Of his fortunes.
Mr.. Van Buren, was his successor, and
what pounding he got in 1S4O Mr..
Tyler entered the Vice Presidency as
popular man as you could wish to see,
and in four years he was as badly off as
Louis Nap is at this time Mr., Dallas
managed to survive his election 10 the
second office, but he never got any higher
in the political world, though he kept
his ground in diplomacy. Col johnson
never was anything after he became a
bad edition of Mr.. Tyler, without revision
or correction; and Mr.. VIM. r. King,
who therefore had been. regarded as a
miracle OF good fortune, died IN a few
months after his fall into the Vice PrBsi-
dental chair. Mr.. Breckenridge became
a rebel, runaway, refugee, and a
dweller in Canada, and to accept pardon
from Andrew Johnson. It adds to ones
respect for Mr.. Hamlin, that he is almost
the sole survivor of the Vice Presidents,
being none the worse for having held
the second American place. Andrew
Johnson's melancholy fate is fresh in the
minds eye of an unsympathizing world.
And now Mr.. Colfax is forced to fly to re-
tirement to get rid of the evils that be-
long to the Office. The only man that
ever held the Vice Presidency without
being thereby foored (Mr. Hamlin ex-
cepted) was Mr.. Jefferson. If any Amer
lean gentleman is like the late Mr.. Jafier,
of the Venetian political stage, sin love
with ruin" he had better 60 in for the
Vice Presidency strong, and, getting it,
get facer from fate He would either
never be heard of again, or nothing
would be heard to his advantage. 1t IS
evident that Simon Cameron isn't simple
enough to be that gentleman, he not
liking the walking gentleman's part

PACKING BUTTER AND Butter
should be worked without water until
freed from the buttermilk Then salt
ed, and allowed to stand for twenty-four
hours. The salt will have by that time
assisted any buttermilk left in the butter
to drain away. A little more salt needs
now to be worked in, and the butter i'm
meoiately packed in a new tub which has
been soaked in brine for q day Or two.
When the butter has been pressed down
closely into the tub, it should be strewn
with salt, and covered with piece of
wet muslin to preserve it from the air.
When another churning is ready, pack in
the same manner, and when the tub is
full even with the top, sprinkle some fine
salt on the butter, cover with cloth, aud
head down tight. The tub should be
filled SO full that no air can remain in it.
Butter packed in this manner has kept
perfectly sweet and fresh for year in
our cellar, and we do not know why it
should not do so anywhere. Eggs may be
preserved perfectly for two or three
months, by packing them away in brine in
which handful of lime has been thrown.
They should be kept beneath the brins
by means ola plate laid over them II
any Of orr readers has an improved
method, let us hear of it.

ROSTERS that is known at the West. He
is noted chiefly for two things-his over.
bearing disposition and his enormous
feet. One day he was standing near a
turn table where some men were at work,
when Jimmy Dufy,an Irish wag recently
from the East, approached him, and the
following dialogue took place:

"The time, you impudent rascal I" ex.
claimed Shreve, viewing him scornfully,
"What business have you to ask questions

that it wanted two minutes of twelve

with a malicious grin, his eyes bent on
his superior's feet, "if ye will be SO kind,

HORSE RADIsH FOR Cows.-We find
floating among our exchanges statement
concerning which we know nothing, to
the effect that horse-radish is an excellent
condiment to mix with the feed of cowst to
give them an appetite, and make them
sleek and thrifty. 1t should be fed freely
to all animals that are not we'll, and it
will be great service to working oxen
troubled with heat If given to COWS in
doses of pint day,mixed with potatoes
or bran, it will prevent or relieve them of
the disease called cake in the bag. Few
animals refuse to eat it, and some will
eat greedily as much as half peck at a
time. We should be pleased to hear from
some of our readers on the subject. The
article is one produced without much
labor, where grating is not required, and
it may worth trial.

KILLING FIsH-A writer in the Nor
folk V5rgimioro says that fish should be
instantly killed-that they will be much
better, and keep much longer than when
left to die. He adds: In Holland ev.
cry fish caught is killed at orce. Not
even starving man in that country would
touch fish that had died of itself, for he
would consider it as carrion. Every Dutch
fisherman carries common shoemaker's
awl with him and jabs it into the brain
of all the fish as they are caught. 1t takes
not half second to kill each fish in this
manner. The manner generally practiced
in the rest of Europe is to cut the throat
OF the fish by at once drawing across it
the edge of rough knife. Both of these
ways of killing fish are good, but the lat
ter is to be preferred, inasmuch as it bleeds
them batter"

In an address to colored meeting, at
Baltimore, recently, Frederick Douglass
said: Owe hope yet to see the day when
the colored mechanics os Baltimore will
leave the lanes and alleys. It would be
impossible for angels to rear families in
those dreadful dens of bad air and bad
morals, and to lead lives of intelligence,
virtue and refinement. We must get rid
of the somewhat religious idea that we
ought TO live, like bats and owls, in holes
and corners of the earth in order to live
IN glory hereafter They must under
stand their day and generation. Leaving
the things that are behind, and shaking
off the ideas and customs of the old
house of bondage, they must adjust
themselves to the demands of the new
relations into which, by the inevita
bic laws of human society, they have now
been brought"

EXCITEMENT IN THE VATICAN.-A dis
patch from Rome, dated July oath, says
the Pope may leave Rome any day.
There is great excitement in the Vatican.
The Cardinals and members Of the papal
household are almost constantly in coun-
ell with the Holy Father. Admittance
is denied ordinary visitors, and the per-
sons in the Pope's retinue observe great
secrcsy. Gloom prevails in the whole
papal household, as if some great event
is imminent. Present indications point
to the intention Of the Pope to leave the
Vatican, and this step is generally attri
buted to the counsels OF Cardinal Anton,
ELI and the zeal of the Jesuits. The
Pope, it is said, feels reluctant about
leaving Rome, and may abandon the idea
of going, at the last moment.
