THE SLAVERY OF EsE.NAKING.

The following is the simple prose sac-
count of a friend of our own--the wife of
dairy farmer-who, though she has al
ways been proud of her dairy, and never
discontented with her lot, yet confesses
plainly enough that the work has been too
hard: During the cheese-making season l
find it needful to be in the dairy by half
past five o'clock i'm the morning for an
hour. Then there is an hours release for
breakfast !, By that time the curd will be
fit for breaking. Then there will be max
ing it into cheese which will take from two
to two and a half hours, excepting at in
tervals OF not more than a quarter of an
hour twice during the aforementioned
time. 1t will then be about ten o'clock.
If have good servant, can then leave
the cheese to her; if not, it will be neces-
sary to go to it an hour to dry-cloth it,
and again in two hours to salt it. In the
( latter case have not done with it till one
o'clock. Then if cheese be made twice a
day this has all to be repeated, commenc-
ing at four o'clock, P. NJ. When Sir G..
Jenkinson said he could not see what far
mers' wives would have to do if they gave
up cheese-making, he must have forgotten
that they are very frequently mothers of
families, and have them to attend to be-

there is really too much devolving upon a
farmers wife who looks well to her dairy,
and wishes to do her duty in a domestic
way. Now that our family are mostly
grown up, and can share in the work, |
do not find it very burdensome, and as Sir
George rightly says, we take pride in it.
Who does not take pride in seeing things
done well which are under his care and
for which he is responsible? But there are
many ofus who would bevery glad never
theless if the.work could be done to an
swer as well without our doing it. When
| commenced cheese-making, about
twenty-tour years ago, good dairy girls
were not so scarce as now. At the pres
ent time it is difficult to get respectable
servant who will undertake the work
They perfer going where the work is light
er. and they have an idea that the work is
not only very heavy, but less respectable
than mere housework. If the dairy ar
rangements and conveniences were what
they should be, there would be no need
for making cheese twice day. and then
it woald be much lighter both for mistress
and servant This report is from Glou-
cestershire. We are very much mistaken
if Cheseirc does not hold an equally dis
tinct opinion of the advantage of that CO.
operative system by which so much of the
hard labor of the dairy may be transferred
from woman's hands-The Gardeners

Here there Is no such operating cause to check
consumption Of dutiable goods, while there 10
among US the operative cause to increase It,
which great Britain does not enjoy, of steady
import OF the most valuable goods Of all, not
taxed at ports of entry, though, ON pure pro-
tectionist principles, they ought to be, men,
women and children. Under these favorable
circumstances, more blessed than those Of any
country under heaten, we might confidently
depend upon steady, chronic, invariable in
crease Of the public revenue from moderate
duties on imported goods, and, as far as In
ternal revenue goes, on a few selected articles.
OF what use to take the trouble of collecting
paltry million on gas, for instance, or of three
millions even on gross receipts9 The position
is so plain that if our government be really
controlled by the public 1t cannot fail to be
seen or acted on. Hostile critics abroad, when
they denounce our government, point to this
very thing Of cruel excessive and irrational
taxation as one of the evil fruits Of bad tree /;
and 1t is difficult to find suitable reply, On
that memorable occasion when Mr.. Pickwick
fell through the ice and people rushed for
ropes and help Mr.. Wrinkle adjured him to
keep up for his sake; but the bystanders felt
that If Mr.. Plckwick did not do SO for his own
sake he would not be likely to do 1t for Mr..
Wrinkles. Our own interests are 90 plainly
concerned in the reduction of taxes that they
are enough for our guidance, without looking
to foreign opinion, however sound.
The following is recapitulation, showing
the total collections from each specific source
Of revenue:-

Fisk-StOkes-Tammauy.

We give to-day graphic report Of an inter-
view with the chief actors in recent tragico-
comico affair, in which "Erie preferred" ="
petroleum, prison bars, love, revenge, intrigue,
stock gambling and various other matters were
inextricably mixed up. But in any view to be
taken Of the subject it is clear that Jim Fisk,
Jr., is vain, weak, silly fellow, and that the
sooner those who have dealings with him get
rid Of him the better. This is especially the
case with the Tammany politicians, upon
whose necks he hangs like grindstone. He
is sure to get into trouble all who have any
thing to do with him, and not being able to take
care Of himself-only in certain wayne
cannot do any good to anybody, except, per-
haps, his myrmidons and parasites. His pre-
sumptuous appearance on democratic plat
form last fall, and his windy speech on that
occasion, would have swamped the democratic
party in the State had it not been for its own
inherent strength. He has gratifed his per-
sonal malice and revenge by causing peremp-
tory arrests Of respectable parties to be made
at midnight and on Sundays, for the despica-
BILE purpose OF keeping them in jail over night,
under sort of lettre de cachet mandate that
should never have been issued by any Judge on
the bench. Tammany must therefore cut Fisk
adrift or prepare eventually to sink with him !.

patriotism and courage that individuals
have shown, we can discover only continual
strife and rapid decay in the Hispano-Ameri-
can republics when LEFT to themselves and
their own processes. Look whittier we will
there is but the one spectacle, leading to the
one conviction. The sceptrs has passed from
the children Of the Latian empire,
old and new, forever. The freshest
offshoot Of the Aryan race, hailing
latest from the Caucasus, and now
spreading all over Europe and through every
other continent, are the appointed masters of
the future world from the borders Of the Neya
to the banks of the Euphrates. The great
human billow-the new uprising ofwhich from
the East Niebuhr, the historian, predicted in
his time-is now On its way. 1t has already
debouched upon France and is overfowing
IT to sweep to-morrow across the
Alps and the Pyrepees and deluge the
Italian and Iberian peninshas afresh, As we
60 to press this morning the dishAartened
retreat of the last French armies, followed up
fercely by their victorious German foe, por-
tends early surrender, to be followed quickly,
If not preceded, by the capitulation Of sorely
agonized Paris. Thereupon will come the
"dies ira" of the whole violent, bitter, op-
pressive theory of Latin supremacy that has SO
long filed the world with blood and tears--the
crash, total and irremediable, of that lingering
anaehronism in laws and government which
may be termed the Latian system.
And over this change, with sll the pangs
and devastation that it has cost mankind
may still rejoice. The breeze that blews so
strongly from the North is keen and may seem
harsh at first, but it Is fresh, pure, invigorat-
ing, and, through the long ages of history,
from first to last, has freshened the pulses of
heroes, lawgivers, sages and champions Of
freedom.

'UGLY" OR CAUTIOUS Prince Napoleon
Bonaparle has just retused-as will be seen
by our special cable telegram-to receive an
envoy who was despatched by the Emperor
Napoleon from Wilhelmshohe to Brussels
The gentleman presented himself at the resi-
6ence of the Prince in the Belgian capital,
but was ~ot admitted. When in Paris at
the TuIeries, and member of the French
Legislature, Prince Napoleon was 'ugly" and
of considerable trouble to his imperial cousin.
He may be cautious as well as ''ugly" just
now; for perhaps he would be driven from
Belgium if he committed breach of the
Kings neutrality. This would not suit him
by any means; Prince Napoleon likes bis
ease, and likes himself.

The Military Situation Outside Psgi4s.

Tbsfs is lille 1iS new 81 importance l q ths
movements Of the armies in France to chroni-
Gle this morning. General Chanzy still shows
On undaunted spirit; but, according to his own
confession, Of what avail is further resistance
when the safety of his whole army may at
any time be jeqpardlzed by .issxplccssh|s pc Il i
panic among s6ne Of the troops ?" If i'm
portant positions are rendered useless, and
lost because Of ''the failure to execute certain
orders given by himself" at time when on q
battle field of his own selecting he had an
opportunity to meet in fair fight the army of
Prince Frederick Charles, what may be ex-
pected Of his future achievements with the
remnants of badly beaten army, strength
ened, as it may be, by fifty thousand fresh re-
cruits from Cherbourg? That Chanzy has
made good fight we admit, but it must not
be forgotten that he fought on battle field
which he had himself chosen. Even with this
advantage his army was defeated in two sue
cesslve days battle by the army Of the Red
Prince. To make matters worse, he allowed
himself to be surprised on the night Of the Sec
ond day. and his retreat was made with such
precipitation that he must have feared that
disaster somewhat similar to that of Sedan
threatened the Army of the Loire. With the
remains of his shattered army, demoralized as
his forces must he by the recent defeats and the
imperfect discipline which Chanzy himself ad-
mits, more crushing disasters are in store for
the Army of the Loire If Prince Frederick
Charles is in position to follow up the victories
he won in the battles before lie Mans. We
have not learned the losses of the Germans
in those engagements; but, judging from
the injuries which the French suffered,
the German forces must have also suf-
fered severely. The energy put for
ward by the Germans of late is evidence
sufficient to show that no unnecessary delay
will occur In pushing the war to conclusion.
This being the case there Is every reason to
believe that the Red Prince will, If he Is in q
condition, pursue Chanzy's flying forces and
compel them again to fight before they have
time to reorganize.
In the east General Won Werder in his posi-
ton south Of Belfort has repulsed the army of
Bourbaki. The battle was bloody one, last
ing nine hours. Bourbaki's only hope in this
direction is in being able to defeat the German
forces now opposed to him before Manteuffel
gets up. To do this and do it effectually he
must be brisk, for every day lessons his
chances and brings him nearer to a defeat
which General Manteuffel's reinforcements for
Won Werder threatens him. Dark as were the
prospects for France yesterday, to-day they
appear even more gloomy.

gas tax, it is neither excessive nor profane to
say, damns the eyes of all Of us seriously by
causing the production of an inferior article !;
and light really must be free and pure.
The last and weighty illustration conveyed
by this memorable table is on that point to
which we have lately drawn public attention
the necessary expansion of the revenue with
the growth of the country. The enormous in
crease in the returns of the various taxes is to
be referred in great part to the expansion Of
the country's business, which we pronounce to
be the right source to draw on for gradual re-
duction, out Of surplus so accruing, of the
public debt. Besides if all the internal reve-
nue. except that from spirits, tobacco and fer
mented liquors were swept away, these would
increase with amazing rapidity by reason Of
the greater consuming and purchasing power
of the populations so that these taxes them
selves might shortly be reduced with even
greater returns than before to the Treasury.
The financial experience Of Great Britain is
conclusive on this head. For thirty years in
that country the policy has been pursued of
concentrating taxation, internal and import, on
few items, and steadily reducing the figures
on those The result has been an invariable
and steady expansion of the revenue due to that
direct cause. Occasional bad harvests check
the process in that unfortunate country, where
large portion of the population are always
| within an ace of starvation, and where, there
| fore, when crops run short at home, immense
sums have to be Qptlaid in cereala from abroad,

service sufficiently account for it. We, too,
had raw recruits in our American armies dur
ing our civil war, and yet they stood and
moved like veterans, equally un1inching by
night as by day, in the ordered battle or at
the sudden alarm. With the exception of one
or two unfortunate blunders, ascribable chiefly
to the inexperence Of their commanders,
the marches, bivouacs and battles of our
citizen soldiery excited the wonder and ad-
miration of the oldest military critics, and
their aggregate achievements are without a
parallel. The same has been the record of
the Anglo-Saxon soldier in all lands and in all
epochs, and the races who associate with
them catch their spirit and demeanor. We
are entitled, then, in pursuing the logic
of facts, to argue that in the nurture,
training and, so ID speak, the very rearing Of
the structure of their national life, the Latin
race or races, once so grand under the i'm
pulse Of Roman blood and discipline have
declined through political intrigues and social
excess. But few brief years have elapsed
since Italy began to breathe the spirit of
modern life and shake off foreign
| yoke, and the strength that js now
in her springs from her adoption of
the schools and systems Of German popular
culture; Spain, poisoned and half dried up by
the infusion Of Saracenic blood, cannot sustain

the delicious repast before them, chatting
affectionately at the same time. "Their

"Not unless it prove to be Carrie Staun-

" You are very far from being correct.
Why, it is no other than your old friend,
Louise Pennell Just think after all her

"Why, no, Ida, l see nothing disgrace

"Ob, Harry, how can you say soP The
