CURE FOR sERVANT.GALIsM.

From the Galaxy, for September.l
Undoubtedly the sphere and influence
of woman have greatly increased in the
last and present century; but the breadth
of culture now required, and the claims
of modern society, make another diff
Guilty for the hOusekeeper We all know
the old fable of the eye of the master and
its powers Of observation. As a mistress
in a family is an important person, would
il not be well to cultivate the power and
capacity for command in the young, in
stead of kindly but injudiciOusly post
pOning the evil day, as if all young wo-
men would naturally take to the myste-
ries and routine of housekeeping, as
young ducks to the water? Rather on
the principle Of pushing a friend over
board who has never learned to swim,
or perhaps never seen salt water before,
do the mothers of American girls treat
them; the usual answer being, 1.-THE
time will come fast enough when she
will hare to take care of a hOuse;n and
so they defer the gradual study fer 1t. Is
there any other study, profession, trade
or craft so neglected? We must infer
that women think household cares and
duties something which come by nature.
Happy would il be for US if it were 80;
but, if a natural gift, it is very charity
bestowed, unlike all other Of natures
beunteous provisi ms for US. House
keeping is not an instinct, and should
be a study. Women are clamorous for
a larger sphere; have they yet filed this,
best suited them, well and perfectly?
Do American women understand them
selves, their work and their servants
sufficiently? We think not.

Senator Wilson addressed mass

there was no doubt of the Republicans

and said the question was not whether
Grant or Greeley should be President,
but whether the Republican party,
which had saved the country and made
it free, should, with the help of band
of forty or fifty thousand disaffected Re
publicans, be made to abdicate and let
the Democratic party go into power. He
had no unkind words to say of Greeley
or Brown. He regretted the position
they had taken, but their success would

He urged New York to come out of its

S92, 600 in cash and more than 50, 3,0O0,-

average every letter misdirected or that

THE POPE AND ITALY.

A European correspondent says the
abandonment of the policy Of non-ac-
ton by the clerical party in Rome, in
the elections held under the government
of Victor Emmanuel, has not been at
tended with remarkable success. At the
recent election, the clerical candidates
were thoroughly beaten, and all the can
didates recommended by the liberal
committees were successful. The ultra
Radicals made but a very poor show.
The success of the Liberals is considered
a great triumph, because the Pope is
said TO have felt confident OF victory,
and he counted on demonstrating TO all
Europe that the Roman population was
really on his side. The people Of Rome
were much elated at the result.
