FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Brackets.

There is nothing that adds more to
the attaactiveness of the home than
brackets in the corners of the room,
which usually become the receptacle of
vases of flowers, natural or artificial,
small plaster casts, that cost only trife
and are pretty, and numberless other
little ornaments that are always finding
their way into the house, and are often
broken and ruined because there is no
place to put them except on the table.
Brackets as sold at the furniture store
are rather expensive, but may be made
at home, and any boy with a sharp jack
knife may find world of amusement in
cutting up old cigar boxes and making
brackets which, vanished, are al han =
some as any that can be purchased at
the stores. To make these one requires
small key-hole saw, a sharp jack-knife
and bits of two or three sizes. Patterns
of the various parts should first be cut
from stiff brown paper, and trimmed
till they fit each other exactly. If the
brackets are quite small, they may be
made of cigar boxes if large, pine or
black walnut board may be used. Pine
can be stained and vanished, and it is
such an easy wood to work in that we
recommend it to beginners in the bracket
making art. Lay the pattern cut from
designs OF your own on the wood and
mark it round with pencil. With the
knife, the saw, and the bit remove all
the wood to be taken away, and scrape
the edges smooth with piece of glass.
After the pieces are prepared they should
be fastened together with glue and
headless tacks, then stained and var
nished. A little practice will give one
more insight into the mysteries of the
art than long written instructions.
Filters.
In view of the fact that the water we
drink is not unlikely to be crowded with
dangerous germs, it seems the part of
wisdom to adopt the simple precaution
suggested in our heading. A portable
filter may be made of IL common stone
ware or earthen jar. The bottom is
filled with stones as large as a goose
egg, or is covered with perforated slate
slab, leaving space to hold supply of
filtered water. A faucet is fitted into
hole bored through the side of the jar,
as near the bottom as may be. On the
slab Oh stones Is placed layer of coarse
gravel, clearly washed over that layer
of clean washed sand then layer of
powdered charcoal, also well washed,
still another layer of sand, and then one
of coarse gravel, both washed perfectly
clean. The remainder of the space is
for water. A cover or wet cloth placed
over the top excludes dust. If porous
jar is used the evaporation from the
outside during hot weather will keep the
contents almost ice cold, particularly if
it is kept i'll a current of air. The same
filterng arrangement may be applied to
a cistern. At the upper corner is the
chamber into which the pipe discharges.
The layers of material are gravel, sand,
and charcoal. AS the filter will need to
be taken out occasionally to wash the
contents, it is well to make the chamber
quite distinct, so that access may be had
to it at any time without disturbing the
cistern or its contents.

(S.) The natural consequence Of these toforms
can easily be Apprehended. II the sessions OF
the Legislature occupied only four weeks, or
eve, in nid-winter, gentlemen would be willing
to serve in that body. Under the present cir
cumstances, II Is with difficulty that busy men
whose time is lAboriously occupied, wiz consent
to sacrifice three months Of il in attendance
upon the tedious and listless movements Of the
Legislature, drawing day after day over petty
business that should not be entertained at all.
Let us have. we say, EQUAL REPRESENTATION.
It Is folly TO talk about anything less than JUS
tios. To compromise Right, is wrong.
Let the people of New Castle county have all
the members OF the Legislature to which they
are entitled. Let the Legislature be increased
in number, and it's efficiency will be increased
Let it's business be confined to the legitimate
range Of It's duties. Let the sessions be short
ened fifty to seventy per cent This viii be fair
to all the people, and it will save thousands Of
dollars to the State.

We hope to see the members OF the Legisla-
ture from Kent and Sussex Counties imbued
with fair and honorable spirit, and ready to
accord equal. representation to the people Of
this county There are some encouraging indi-
cations that such hope may be realized, and
when it is remembered that the members from
New Castle will be called upon, without doubt,
for various votes forming projects OF internal
improvements, &C., in Lower Delaware, it is rea-
sonable to expect that the members Immediately
concerned in such enterprises will see the neces-
sity Of doing justice, at the same time to the
citizens of this end Of the Commonwealth.

The Gazette seems unable to comprehend the
principle Of equal representation in the Legis-
lature. From the tenor Of ite article Of yeater-
day. it is plain that either it docs not understand
or does not concede the fact that the citizens
Of Wilmington are entitled to perfectly equal
rights in the State with all other citizens. In
the name of common sense, why not Is it be-
cause they pay double or treble their propol tion,
according to numbers, OF the State taxesI Is it
the Gdzette's idea that the moro man contrib
utes to support an institution, the less voice he
should have in its control;
The idea Of equality, to our neighbor is pre-
pozterous. 1t is astounded, dumb-foUnded, hor-
ror-struck, at the bare ntimation that il ten
members are semitic represent twenty-nine thou

should be at least ten to represent the thirty
five or forty thousand citizens residing within

other legislation, amounting, in the aggregate

ture and exhausts the pockets of the people il
paying for it. a. By this reform, the sessions
Of the Legislature can be shortened more thar
one-hslf. They ought, under no circumstances
to exceed five weeks, and beyond that time, the
members should receive no pay. Business
should be prepared, in advance Of the session
and promptly dispatched when the two Houses
convene. This shortening Of the session woult
save to the State not less than ten thousand del
lars for each one.

THREE FAMILIES HOMELESS AND THREE CHILDREN
BURNED TO DEATli.
A few minutes before eight o'clock, yesterday
morning, a fire broke out in three story brick
tenement house owned by Jenkins Porter, in the
vicinity OF Third and Fulton streetN, and occu-
pied by three colored families.
Tue inside Of the building was destroyed be-
fore the lfre was extinguished. The saddest part
OF the disaster was the burning Of 1.-TWO children,
aged 10 and 3 years, children of Mrs. Holland.
The mother had left her three children in bed in
upper story room, and lamp filed with coal oil
burning in the room not far from the bed occu-
pied by the children. She went out to screen
some coal preparatory to building fire in the
kitchen stove.
The burning lamp is supposed to have been
turned over by the children. The flames sud
denly burst out with great fury.
The mother rushed TO the room in which she
had Just left her children, but, after being her
self severely burned, could only tescue one OF
them. This little one is so badly burned that il
cannot live many hours. The coroner held al
inquest on the bodies Of the two burned girls.
