A Hint TO lIoUsEwIvEs.-Tho
amount Of injury done to tho ten
der stomachs Of young chldron,
invalids and sedcntary persons,
by eating bad broad, day after
day, from ono years cnd to ano-
thcr, must be enormous. a cook
who cannot make good bread of
every description, ought not to be
allowed house room for an hour ;
and that mother il criminaIly
negligent, whatever may bo her
position, who docs not teach hor
daughters to know what good
bread is, and how to mako it.
Alum is used to givo whitcncss,

ing moisture. Limo could be en-.
ploycd with equal effect, having
tho advantage Of correcting any
sourncss in tho bread or stomach !;
besides offering an important IN
grcdicnt for making tho bono

LEAVING IIoME.--Tho genera.
ton that is now rising to iudustri-
al pursuits in the rural districts OF
the United States, ought to be i'm
pressed with the idea that they
cannot better their condition by
Fastening away from their homes,
and trying their fortunes in Il
great town. IN nine cases ont Of
ten, az proved by actual statistics,
they are better Off ~ they are
now. Independence, knowledge,
culture, character, the good opin-
ION of theirs, are all az easily uc-
Qulrcd in the country as, in great
majority OF instances, is wealth,
That attainment which is priced
above all others. How many who
havo made the change Alvo re-
grcLtcd il all their lives, and their
children after them. There is
nothing in our social condition
moro to dcplorcd than the haste
TO be rich that has taken such a
hold Of the American people, and
now prompts this tondncSs for
cities. IL has been wonderfully
stimulated by our inflated currcn-
cy, and it can now be controlled
OIL y by moral agencies Of the most
ctfcctnal kind. There arc many
things more Desirable and moro
respectable than wealth.

ITALIAN UNITY MEETING IN New YORK
| SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE.-Ae'c
York. Jan. IA meeting was held last
evening at the Academy Of Music to ccle-
brate italian unity. The Academy was
crowded to its utmost capacity by an audi
ence among whom the respectable element
vastly predominated, while around the
building an open-air meeting was organ
iZed.
The platform was occupied by some of
our most distinguished citizens, among
whom were Marshal o. Robert, VIM. f.
Dodge, Henry S. Stebbins. Peter Cooper,
James Brown. Willard Parker, Francis
Lieber. Cyrus w. Field. and Chas. n. Tai
bout. Upon motion of Marshal .. Roberts,
Maior-Gencral Dix was called to the chair.
Resolutions were adopted declaring, in
substance, as follows: That in voting to
loin the Italian kingdom the Romans have
been true to the spirit Of their history, as
manifested against the temporal power OF
the Pope that we congratulate them on
their dellverance from the yoke that the
doctrine that governments derive their just
powers from the consent OF the governed
can admit of no exception in favor OF an
ecclesiastical government welding civil
power. That the rejection of the Papal
Government by the Roman people meets
with the warm approval and admiration OF
the American people. That while we
honor the jealous care with which the
Italian Government guards the Popc's
personal liberty and right, we be-
iievc separation of Curch and State
will be beneficial to both, and finally
that the principle Of national unity gives
Italy the right to possess Rome as its capi-
tai with undivided sovereignty, and the
presence there Of another power claiming
independent sovereignty would be incom-
patible with the Independence of the ma
tion and its position among the free peo-
pies of the world.

PROFESSOR HoLCoMBE's LECTURE ON GEN
ERAL LEE.-The announcement that that

James =. Holcombe, would lecture on the
life and virtues of Gen. Lee drew together
at the Second Baptist Church, Thursday
evening, large and appreciative audience.
The Professor was INTRODUCED by the Rev
DR.. Hoge, who made the following remarks;
"When, Just three months ago to-day, it
became known in this city that Gen. Robert
r. Lee was no more, we felt that the cup
Of our bereaved Commonwealth was now
full. and, for a time, in our all-abSorbino
sorrow. we scarcely thought of consolation
But before our tears were dry we remember.
ed that-impoyerished as we were in other
| things-all was not lost while the memory
of such L man remained as our perpetual
possession, and the precious heritage Of our
children forever.
Now, no more patriotic or piouS duty
devolves on the sons OF the South than to
perpctuate in history and portray for the
good Of coming generations the noble deeds
and traits of character which made our Lee
the Foremost man of all the time and
know Of no one who can enter upon this
tilia sask with more willing mind and
loving heart than our distinguished fellow
citizen, Prof. James i. Hccombe, whom
now have the honor to introduce to you
10 attempt to give an idea Of Mr.. Hol-
combc's discourse would carry us beyond
the space we could give in the crowded
state of our columns. We have only to say,
that it was an effort such as might be en-
pected from such finished scholar and
gentleman, and that it was worthy of the
memory of the deceased hero and General,
whose virtues will ever be praised and
cmulated by all good Firginians.
Mr.. HOlcombe, we are glad to learn, will
repeat his lecture during next week.

PREsBREY.-Speaking of the new order
requiring supervisors to stay IN their dis
tricts, the New York Tobacco Leaf says {:
eve will not say that the Commissioner
had Dr.. Presbrey in his minds eye when
inditing the regulation in question, but We
sincerely trust that he will not be induced
to make him IN exception to its working.
4 general impression prevails among to-
bacco men that many OF the revenue deci-
sions hostile to the trade and the frequent
foolish suggestions that were flthered upon
eX-ComnlSsioner Delano eminated from the
Supervisor of the Virginia district. How
ever this may be. the trade would gladly
see the experiment made of relagatng the
Doctor to Richmond for a season, ard at
least temporary cnrb placed upon his am
biton to supervise all rules and regulations
issuing from the Bureau regarding the to-
bacco interest"

THE EDUCATIONAL LAND ScR1P-MAJ. W.
T. SUTHERLIN BEFoBE THE CoaAITTEE.-We
thought we had concluded, for the pre-
sent, at least, the subject ofthe educational
land scrip, but in the Senate yesterday the
chairman Of the Committee lon Public In.
stitutions announced that there would be q
special session of the joint committee of the
two Houses Of the General Assembly to
hear Mai. W. T. Sutherlin, President of the
State Agricultural Society, who appeared
before the committee and, stated that he did
not urge the claims of any particular insti-
tuition. but upon his own responsibility he
desired to express bis views upon so i'm
portant question. What we need in Vir-
gnia now is the development of our agri-
cultural facilities and the manufacture OF
all sorts of machines to sur;aly the lack Of
labor. He illustrated this Mca by saying
that last summer, when he was moving
his wheat, one of his reapers, became
out of fix, and required him to send
for 4 mechanic to make Unnecessary re.
pairs; and this proved to him the ne.
cessty of so educating the young men
Of the State that this practical know
ledge might be acquired by them. To his
mind, the one way, and only way to use
this fund to advantage, is to divide it, not
into equal parts, for this would not be lust,
but to fairly divide it into two parts. Give
one portion to the colored institution which
they have inaugurated, and take the other
and establish an Independent college some
where in Virginia, and let that college be de.
voted to agriculture and the mechanic arts
1t might be small beginning, but it will
be the commencement and the cornerstone
upon which we can rear a superstructurt
that will develop finally the interest of thi:
State.
After Maj. S. concluded, it was ordered
that the joint committee meet on Tuesday
the 17th, at 10 O'Clock, to finally consider
the disposition Of the scrip. The commit
tee then arose, to meet at that time.

STOLEN IRoN.-Herman Schwartz, dealer
in old rags, iron. and miscellaneous wares,
made his appearance before the Police
Court Yesterday to answer for having in his
possession about 1000 pounds of iron be-
longing to the Tredegar Company. 1t was
positively identified, but as the witnesses
tor the accused were not present, the case
was continued until Tuesday next, and he
was bailed in the sum OF $500 for his ap-
pearance on that day. Schwartz seemed to
admit that the iron was stolen by those
from whom he bought it, but thought all
the stock Of the kind in the city found in
Junk dealers shops was in the same pre-.
tiicament.
