CITY COUNCIL AND THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT.

FIRE DEPARTMENT..
The proceedings of the City
Council on Tuesday last show that
the "City Fathers" confess frankly
their recognition of the impractibi-
lily of endeavoring to reconstruct"
the Firemen's Charitable Association
on the basis they at first calculated.
This result has been broaght about
by the weight Of the wishes and opin-
ions which the contemplated action OF
the Administrators elected. Al
though the Council did not on
Tuesday formally reconsider the
resolution of q previous meeting
directing the Administrator of Com
merce to organize paid Fire De-
partment, yet their acceptance OF
Administrator Remick's sugges-
tons and the appointment of a
committee of three of their body
to confer with similar committee
of the Firemen's Association indi-
cate an abandonment of the origin g |
design, and the intention to effect
the most satisfactory arrangement
for renewal of the contract. We
give Mr.. Remick's report:
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE,
City Hall, Nov. IA, 1871.
To the City Council of New Orleans:
I beg leave to report that pursu-
ant to the resolution of the Council
at its last session, directing the Ad-
ministrator of Commerce to organize
a paid fire department, I have had
the matter under consideration, and
have concluded that the establish
ment of such department at this
time would be impossible.
The management of the Fire De-
partment by the Firemen's Cnarita-
BILE Association, as evidenced through
our journals and by other popular
expressions. has given satisfaction
so general as to be almost universal.
In view of this fact, although I
should be willing to assume any
responsibility to carry out the in
structions of this Council calculated
to accomplish certain good, l
shrink from the attempt to popu-
larize an undertaking which would
start out with such disfavor, espe-
cially when the good sought to be
accomplished is. upon investigations
so extremely problematical.
L therefore respectfully request
that the said resolution be repealed;
and recommend that the Council
enter into negotiations with the
Firemen's Charitable Association
under the ordinance introduced by
me on 29th August last as basis;
and to that end that tho Mayor ap-
point q committee of three from this
Council to confer with like COM
mittee from the Firemen's Charita-
bic Association, to arrange details.

Administrator.
The report was adopted, and

DELICIOUS FRENCH WINE.-An Anne
can traveller desiring while in Paris to
take bath, his physician recommended
wine bath. In the employ of the cstab-
lishment was a colored man he had known
in America, and of him he inquired how
they could afford to give wine bath for
seventy-fve cents
why, massa,' said the negro, shat wine
has been in the bath room for one week,
and you're the thirty eighth person that
bathed in it,
We'll, l suppose they throw it away
when they are done with it j.?
% no, massa; they send it down stairs
for the poor people who bathe in it for
twenty-five cents
and then what do they do with it ?
Bottle it up and send it to America for
French wine
The gentleman has lost his relish for
French wines.

How THE DEACON DID. In a small
town on the Schuylkill River there is
church in which the singing had run down.
1t had been led many years by Que of the
deacons, whose voice and musical powers
had been gradually failing One evening
the clergyman gave out the hymn, which
was in an odd measure, and rather harder
than usual, and the deacon led off. Upon
its conclusion the minister rose and said
Brother B will please repeat the
hymn, as l cannot pray after such singing
The deacon very composedly pitched in
to another tune, and the clergyman pro
ceeded with his prayer. Having finished,
he took up the book to give out the second
hymn, when he was interrupted by the
deacon gravely getting up and saying in a
voice audible to the whole congregation
'Will Mr. make another PRAYER z
II would be impossible for me to sing after
such prayer as that

Natural Uses Of Hair,

That hair effects an impor-
tant purpose in the animal econ
omy, we have evidence in it's
in its almost universal distribu,
ton Of the mammiferous' class
Of animals; and if we admit
the. analogy between the feath.
er and the hair among all
warm blooded animals, addj-
tional evidence is obtained in
perfection of its structure, and
again in its early appearance
in the progress Of develop
ment in the young. As II bad
conductor Of heat it tends to
preserve the warmth Of the
body; and in man it would
have that effect upon the head,
and serve to equalize the tenn
perature of the brain. 1t IS
also medium of defense
against external irritants, as
the heat of the suns rays, aud
the bites Of insects, and against
injuries inf cted with violence,
Of special purposes fulfilled by
the hairs, we have instances in
the eyebrows and eyeljds,
which are beautifully adapted
for the defense Of the organs Of
vision ; in the small hairs which
grow IN the apertures Of the
nostIils, and serve as guardians
to the delicate membrane Of
membrane Of the nose, and in
similar hairs in the ear tubes,
which defend those cavities
from the intrusioOs of insects,

A Good Cistern.

TO make q cistern of forty
barrels, dig six and half feet
in diameter and seven feet
deep. Wall with hard bricks
or bats, laid in good lime or
sand mortar. About 500 bricks
will lay the wall, One barrel
of the best cement will make II
cistem of sixty barrels. Mix
two-ffths cement and three.
ffths clean, sharp sand (not
too fne), mix as you use the
mortar, and not let it harden
until it is on the wall. Apply
two coats with the trowel and
finish up with a whitewash
brush, using clear cement
about the consistency Of brick
whitewash. This finish should
be put on Immediately after
applying the last coat. Brush
down as smoothly as a stone
jar. Finish the wall before
you put in the bottom, and be
careful not to crack the cement
in the bottom after the mortar
sets. The workman should
thoroughly understand his bus
mess.

Sweet Temper.

No trait of character is
more valuable in a woman than
the possession of sweet tenn.
per. Home can never be
made happy without it. 1t is
like the flowers that spring MP
in our pathway; reviving and
cheering US. Let q man 60
home at night wearied with
the tolls Of the day, and how
soothing is word dictated by
a good disposition. 1t is sun,
shine falling on his heart. lie
is happy, and the cares are for
gotten. A sweet temper has q
soothing influence over the
minds Of a whole family
Where it is found in the wife
and mother you observe kind
ness and love predominating
over the natural feelings Of o
hard heart. Smiles, kind words
aud looks, characterize the
children, and peace and love
have their dwelling there. A.
sweet temper is more valuable
than gold it captivates more
than beauty, and to the close
Of life it retains all its freshness
and power.

New Way of Cooking Meat.

The Boston Journal of
Chemistry says a good way to
cook meat is to hermetically
seal it in a vessel. Cooked
thus long time in its own
juices, it is rendered very ten
der, and has peculiarly appe-
tizing flavor. Take an earthen
jar that will stand heat, with
tight fitting cover. IF beef is
to be the dish for dinner, cut it
in convenient pieces, lay them
in the jar, rub each piece with
salt and a little lump Of sugar,
and put it in a little water !;
then lay on a piece of thick
buttered paper, and press
down the cover.
If you think any steam will
escape, mix shorts of rye meal
with water to paste, and
press strips Of this all round
the edge Of the cover.
Bake in o moderate oven
four or five hours, according to
tenderness of meat. Chickens
and turkies are excellent
cooked in this way. The
toughest meat is rendered ten.
der by this process, and none
of the nutritious matter is
wasted, as in many of the forms
of cooking.
