Practical Ideas.

To he good housekeeper requires ed
ucation and practice; but il woman's
heart is In the work she will soon learn,
if necessity places the duty before
her. 80
When the comfort and prosperity of
loved husband renders it necessary to
econouize and live to the best advan
tage with smail means, devoted vile
will turn her thought and care TO the
duties of her home.
The help of good, careful prudent
housekeeper, enables a man, to advance
his business prospects more than any
thing else woman can do.
The superficial accomplishments of

pared to practical education in all that
pertains TO making home attractive, and
sensible men know 1t. .-r

The Emancipation Movement in Brea'
Zil,

The Rio Janeiro correspondent ofthe
New York times writes, under date of
August %:
The Capital of the Brazils has been in
a perfect fever ofeXciteneBt for months,
owing to the bitter animOsities aroused
by the agitation of the slave bill in the
Brazilian Parliament. In the Chamber
of Deputies the bill has passed the &c
cond reading as amended by the special
Committee, and is now at its third read
ing. Senor Perdigas Maiheiros on the
part of the minority, mas moved the sup
preston of the free birth clauses, and
others less important in the bill, with q
view ofreducing its provisions TO re-
gistration of the slaves. and TO annual
emancipation by a fund, toward which
he proposes tax of two milreis on the
now exempt agricultural slaves. 1t is
confidently expected here that tho bill
will pass the Chamber of Deputies next
week, but 1t is supposed that the debate
in the Senate will be so prolonged as TO
render it impossible for it to become a
law this wear. While the Liberals in
the Senate have declared their adhesion
to the leading principle OF the bill, the
Itaborahy faction have announced their
sympathy with the opposition in the
Chamber of Deputies, and their inten-
ton to oppose it obstinately. But /
will not attempt to elucidate the mys-
teries of Brazilian politics; they are in
exilicable. Owing to the time occupi-
cd in the debates on the slave bill, the
budget for ls72-73 will not be taken up
this session.

The Hats Oftlle Period.

We clip this from the Tribune's FASH
ion notes.
The hats retain the same shape, Louis
XVth, of Derby, so strongly resemb-
ling the riding hat. The crowns are
invariably high, broad with rolled
briin. Very handsome ones are eXhib>
tied with briiu caught up upon one side,
suggestive OF continental days; and the
English turbans will still he worn trim
med with folds of velvet and faille, with
loops upon one side holding stiff, un-
compromising, fierce little wings of
every known bird, or perhaps few
cocks feathers, mostly short, IN tips
very curly and puffy; largo roses with
beautifully tinted autumn leaves, clns-
ters of brown-green leaves tinged with
decay, and dropping buds, or bouquets
of leaves in all the most brilliant of au-
tumnal tintings, with long graceful ten
drills. Other trimmings are of faille,
velvet, royel and heavy gros grain.

DATENT
PATENT
Sill VER MOULD WHITE WIRE
THES LINEi

To the Ladies of INJURY and AdoiDiR9
Counties:
WYE ASK THE PRIVILEGE OF SOLIC-
w itinr your attention to our new Quality
Of Clothes Line Wire, manufactured in such o
manner, of white metallic substance, that it is
preycnted from ever corroding or changing
from IFS beautiful white color during any num-
Der of years. We guarantee il to be perpetusl-
ly ipfailblc against rust, and after you have
used il VIC are confident that you will concur
with the statements of thousands of families
loud in its praise who have it in use.
The following are tho advantages gained by
usine these Patent White Wire Clothes Lines:
Ist. They are truly an ornament wherever
placed, always retaining that shining whitencss,
are forever clean and never have to be taken in,
no matter what the weather may be, water or
!rust cannot effect them.
2d. The durability Of this Wire Line is one Of
the greatest considerations, as it will last frnm
thirty 10 fifty years, and during that time you
will wear out great many coDmon lines, be-
sides being obliged TO put up with an immense
amount of trouble with them.
Sd. Alter it is put up and wiped OF it is al
waye clean, while rope line is more or less
exposcd 10 dust and dirt and must be washed
before IL is used OF II will soil the clothes.
4tb. By actual experience it is found TO be by
Ear the cheapest clothes line, besides its great
convenience This will last lifetime.
5th. You can never hang it too heavily with
clothes.
9th. Another of the chief advantages OF this
line over the rope line is that clothes OF any kind
will not freeze TO il in cold weather, and the
finest fabrics can be removed at any time with
out injury. rope line will always absorb
more or less moisture from the clothes, and IN
cold weather will freeze through and through,
and thin artIcles cannot be removed without a
liability of tearing them. While the wire being
sf pure metallic substance does not absorb
the slightest moisture, consequently there can
not be frost enoughformed to cause an adhesion
and even the finest gauZe can be removed iron
the line withou. injuripg il in the least.
9Th. The alkalics now being used in the pat
ent soeps have net the least effect ON the White
Wire Lines. They dry quick and escape.
Sth. IL will save you ifs price IN saving YOU
time and trouble every six mcnths you ownit.
9th. II never will break and drop clothes IN
to the mud. The old rope line is frequently the
cause OF a whole day extra washing. ThIsont
thing alone is enough to condemn the old style
of lines farever and call into requisition an ar
,ic,e that is free from all such provoking annoy
anccs, something strong, clean and durable
