FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.

RICH FRUIT CAKE.-One pound
of sugar, three-fourths of a pound Of
butter, worked together until very
light; one wineglass Of brandy, one
dozen ground cloves, half nutmeg,
a teaspoonful of ground cinnamon,
ten eggs beat separately, the yolks
to be used first and afterward the
whites, one-fourth of a pound OF
sliced citron, two pounds of washed
currents rubbed in -four, and mixed
in the cake with one pound Of raj
sins cut fine and one seeded and
left whole or cut once, and one pound
of sifted flour; stir in the citron,
currents and the chopped raisins,
and lastly the -four and whole rails
ms alternately. Bake in a moder-
ate oven in deep basins two hours
If the fire is strong the heat should
be decreased the last hour. Line
the basins with buttered paper, and
keep a piece over the top of the cake.
Frost it and it will keep two months
or longer if required.
ROAST OYsTERs.-Tbere is no
pleasanter frollc for an Autumn
evening, in the regions where oy.
tiers are plentiful, than an impromp-
tn roast in the kitchen. There
the oysters are hastily thrown into
the fire by the peck. You may CON
sider that your fastidious taste is
marvellousl y respected if they are
washed first. A busheI basket is
set to receive the empty shells and
the click Of the oyster knives forms
a constant accompaniment to the mu-
sic of laughing voices. Nor are
roast oysters amiss upon your own
quiet supper table when the ''eood
man. comes in on wet night tired
and hungry, and wants ''something
Iheartening.''

A PLEA FOR OATMEAL.

To say nothing of experience,
Liebig, the great chemist and great
est authority on such subjects,
shows oatmeal to be almost as nu-
tritious as the very best English
beef; and that it contains a larger
proportion than wheaton bread of the
elements that go to form bone AMI
muscle. This was proved from a
source of experiments carried on for
a series of years by Forbes, an emf
neht philosopher and the discoverer
of the glacier theory, at that time
Professor of Natural Philosophy in
the Edinburg University, and after
wards Principal of the University of
st. Andrews. For twenty years
or so he measured the breadth and
height, and also tested the strength
both of the arms and loins of his
S udents, a very numerous class,
consisting of different nationalities
drawn to Edinburg by his fame.
These were the results: In respect
of height, breadth of chest and
shoulders, and strength both of the
arms and loins, the bottom of the
scale was occupied by the Belgians |;
above them, and but little higher,
stood the French; very much above
them stood the English; while the
top of the scale was occupied by the
Scotch and the S ;oto- Irish, from Ul-
ster. who, like the natives of Scot
land, are fed in their early years
with at least one meal a day of good
milk and good porridge. Nations
have their prejudices; but the rod
which measured the height, and the
tape that went round the chest OF
these students, and the machine
whereby Forbes tested the power of
arms and loins had none. So one
might be pardoned, when reading
these results, for remembering the
retort made to DIR. Johnson's sneer,
when he defines oats in his dictiona-
ry as flood for horses in England
and men in Scotland" is-nanely,
''Aud where will you find such hor-
ses as in England, or men as in
Scotland?"-Dr. Guthrie, IN the
"Sunday Mugasine."

CRAMMING CHILDREN.


We don't believe in it! It's a
college term, but let us reduce it to
a Websterian sense, The mother
who allows her children to gorge
themselves with candies, cakes or
sweetmeats, gets little, if any, sym
pathy even from the physician-who
Is IS often called to chat as to cure
and who. being well Spaid, could
at least afford it. Should the parent
who allows her children to be cram
med with learning-oft-times in an
Ill ventilated school room-untll the
over-taxed mind and body succumbs
and disease ensues, be entitled to
any more sympathy
Is an overdose of Roman History,
any better than an overdose of Ne
Gpolita7a Cream?j
Is surfeit Of Mental Arithmetic
of any more benefit to a child of ten
or twelve years, than a few ounces
of Jujube Paste or Caromels2
Yet how many parents send their
children to schools where the chief
aim is to cram their heads-not
minds-with studies that require
not only the hours allotted to school,
but those that should be devoted to
relaxation and recreation; even those
that should be devoted to rest and
sleep.
In fact, the demands they make
of the teachers compel them to resort
to this system. Dates in History,
Places in Geography, Mu1tiplicand
and Diyisor must be at the tongues
lend, and repeated parrot-like by the
Master or Miss of ten or twelve
years, or the school is failare, the
teacher Ounce, the scholars dolts.
Shame on such course. Rather
let the children enjoy that robust
health that is sure to produce a
sound mind, and let them take years
to learn the multiplication table and
master the speller.
Let them devote the time now de-
voted to Roman History and Heath
en- Mythology, to a concise under
standing of the history of their own
country, and, if they are not better
qualified to mingle in the silly
''small talk" of society, when they
enter it, they will have health and
common sense to carry them through
the duties of life, and make them re-
spected and honored.

DR.. Do Lewis, in one of his lectures,
while he was addressing the boys, sin
gled out red-headed little fellow, and
asked him what the wax was i'll his ears
for. He said he selected a red-headed
boy because red headed boys are gener-
ally the smartest. The boy stood up and
said he did not know. The doctor
would not take such an answer. If the
boy didn't know, he must tell, at least,
what he thought the wax was in the ear
for.
"Well," said the boy, "the wax is in
the ear because-bec ause-because it
wants to be in the ear"
He questioned another boy, who claim
ed distinction by having red head, and
his answer was that it kept the passage
10 the drum moist. That was correct
but IL hac further uses. Ear-wax is
deadly poison to insects, and it's presence
IN the ear tffectuaIly protected the cal
from insects. 1t sometimes accumulated
and became hard, causing partial deaf
ness, but little warm castor.oil. mixed
with spirits, would remedy that, or al
injection Of soap-slds.

Importance of knowing how to do
anything that came before them.
1t the mother or sisters were sick,
or absent. they could so far fill up
the gap as to keep things comforta-
BILE till health was restored. They
could dress the youngest, make a
bed, sweep room, make a cup of
tea or coffee, broil steak, or wash
the dishes in a very satisfactory
manner.
When quite little, not old enough
to understand heavy or rough work,
they were allowed any amount of
play, but it was expected that all
but the baby must do something
useful, something that was work, in
the course of each day. So little by
little, as they trotted about after
mother, they gathered up something
which, in mature life, was of great
value.
The family lived some miles from
church, and as it was customary to
have preaching in the morning and
afternoon-with Sabbath school be-
tween them they took a slight
lunch of crackers and gingerbread
stayed through all, and returned IN
season for late dinner and tea uni
ted. Now it was settled rule that
the parents and part of the children
should go to church every Sunday,
rain or shine; and the oldest children,
boys and girls, took turns in stay
ing at home to get dinner, and take
care of the baby.
They all took good..pride in hav-
ing everything in order, and a good
dinner all ready, when the church
goers returned and the boys house
keeping was as creditable as the
girls. None felt it to be a hard
ship; on the contrary, those who
were too young to be left in charge
looked forward with great anxiety
to the time when they should be al
lowed to stake their turn with the
older and more favored ones.
When these boys left home for
school or college, box. with scis-
sors, needles, thread, and buttons,
was always placed in each trunk !;
and the lost buttons were replaced,
and the ever-recurring rents repair
ed by their own hands; and with
the stitches went many thanks daily
to the wise mother who had taught
them to take care of themselves, as
well as be bel pful to others
Now, my dear young housekeeper,
and anxious mother, do you not
think your little sons would be less
restle and fretful, and far more
happy, if you allowed them to SNAKE
b'lieve' that they were a most i'm
portant help to you until, by a lit
tie patience and indulgence, you
succeeded in making the imaginary
help a reality, repaying you in latter
years for all the slight inconveni-
ence and annoyance you experience
in teaching them, and insuring com.
fort and independence to your sons,
under whatever circumstances they
may be placed?-ChriStian Union.

WoFFoRD CoLLEaE.-We have received the

show that from the year 1854, when the col.
lege was established under the endowment
fund bequeathed for that purpose by the Rey'
Benjamin Woford, it has steadily progressed
In size, importance and usefulness until the
present year. It has, however, had its sea.
sons of embarrassment anG encouragement,
especially during the war. From 1861 to 1865
the number Of students was largely affected
by the demands which were made by The civil
war upon the young men Of this State aud

roads were made in the funds of the instltu-
ton. The college Is under the control of the
South Carolina Conference of the NJ. E.

RoBBERs SURpRrsED.-On Friday night last
several suspicious looking characters were
seen lowering aronnd the residence at the
northwest corner of Pitt and Calhoun streets.
and the detectives being notified OF the fact
kept a watch upon the honse. About two
o'clock that night the robbers went to work,
and tried to effect an entrance into the house
BY saving through the blinds of one of the
windows on the front piazza. They were
alarmed, however, before getting 10, and on
leaving met the detectives at the gate. Three
OF them ran back and escaped through the
yard, and the fourth, running into one Of the
officers, made q cut at him. Another Of the
officers drew pistol aud fred upon the rob
ber, the ball passing through the rim OF his
felt hat. The latter then took to his heels,
outstrlpping the officers, who followed In pur.
suit and sent another pistol bullet at The fugi-
tive. The robber, however, had been recog-
nized, and Saturday night the detectives made
a descent upon card party, in the fourth
story of q house In Elliott street, and captured
Joseph Glover, notorious character, and the
hero of the knife and hat. He Is hed for ex-
animation.

TIE STEAMSHIP LNEs-LARGE FEEIaHT
AND PASSENGER LIsTs-AcrIvIrY IN THE VEG
ET1BLE TRADE.-Several of our popular and
admirably managed steamships left our port
early on Sunday crowded with freight and
passengers; the Manhattan, Captain 7. j.
Lockwood, of the Adger line, for New York,
having about 125 passengers, and among her
freight 22so barrels and boxes Of vegetables,
and 10Vs bales upland cotton; the Falcon for
Baltimore, with about $500 packages of Vegeta.
bles and a large and valuable general cargo.
The wharves of these steamers were crowded
with barrels and boxes containing potatoes,
squashes, tomatoes, string beans and other
products of the splendidly cultivated farms
around our city. The vegetable trade is now
aclive, and besides the heavy shipments per
steamers the Northeastern Railroad is taking
of large quantities every day. The late rains
have much benefited the farming interest,
and has relieved, to certain extent, the Injury
from the long drought.

ANOTHER ZOUATE CLUB.

In addition to the Zouave Rifle Club, the
preliminary organization OF which was men
toned few days ago, another company o.
the same kind is now being actively recruited
and expects, In very few weeks, to make III
first public appearance in the handsomest uni
form and with the finest weapons that nave
been seen In Charleston since the war. The
preliminary meetings have beer held al
Pythlan Hall, on Society street, near King, ano
the enterprise has been kept comparatively
secret because Its projectors have been more
anxlougtto secure the right kind OF materla
for the new club than 10 get In large mum
ber of men without regard 10 their physical
or moral fitness for members Of hrst
class and effective organization. 1t has been
decided to admit none but veteran soldiers
who can stand rigorous physlcal e2'
animation, and whose moral character ano
social standing Is unexceptionabe. The uni
form decided upon is somewhat similar 70
that OF Duryea's zouaves, the Filth New York
Volunteers of the Federal army, who were
stationed here Just after the war, but richer In
material and more stylish cut. The coat Will be
the short cut-away zouave jacket of dark blne,
with bell buttons and gold braid. The COM
missoned officers will wear shoulder knots
and gold braid on the lower portion of the
sleeve, one strand for second lieutenant, two
for first lieutenant and three for captain. The
non.commissioned officers will wear chevrons
of gold braid In the usual iRfantry pattern. In
stead u blue flannel shirt, the new company
will wear white embroidered shirts without
collar, aud the jacket sleeve will be slasheo
from the elbow down to reveal the embroid.
cred shirt sleeve. On the head will be worn o
red cloth fez, with large blue 'assel'
The trowsers will be of red cit tno'
flannel,) OF the baggy or petlicoat pattern,
and with gold stripes at the side. These Will
be gathered In at the ankle, with white leg
glngs, and the shoes will be of stout leather
and laced in front. The arms are to be The
Ballard rifle, which is breech-loadlnE, re-
peaung weapon, very light but very serVicea-
BILE, and sword bayonels. The drill will be
the full zouave drill, copied from the French
army, with the dashlng bayonet exercise, pic
turesque groupings, &C., and an exhibition
drill is expected to be given at the Citadel
Square as soon as the club is organized and
uniformed. Arrangements have been made
for getting one hundred uniforms and rifles,
on exceedingly liberal and easy terms, and
they will be ready by about the middle OF
July: The club already numbers over thirty
active members, and will be organized by the
election OF officers, &C., as soon as there are
sixty men on the roll.
