On the following day, according to

This announcement is valuable chiefly
for the reason that it shows that a

the three imperial families. Emperor
William, in the most handsome man.

Our .Stp Grand Inspector and
hqitisifOr Of COnsuIs and
COustflufes.

When q man is out of his regular
limo of employment he will often turn
his head to anything rather than rust
or starve. Vide Newman, tho divine,
who not long since was tho delight Of
the delightful congregation OF the
Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal
church of Washington, Tho Rev.
Newman, for some cause not positive
ly known, lost his parsonship, sweet
chimes and all. lie could pray at the
Chief Magistrate no more, and the
chaplaincy of the mighty Senate was
insufficient TO solace him. Where
could he find comfortY Our amiablo
President has found it for him. Tho
Washington correspondents tell us
that his ex-parsonship has been ap-
pointed TO the exalted Office of Grand
Inspector and lnquisilor of Consuls
and Consulates to China, Japan and
all the Oriental countries. OF verify
he was in luck in losing his parson-
ship. Poor pay and plenty of work
were his lot in the Methodist temple.
Rich rewards and easy times are be-
forc him now. He has nothing to do
but travel like prince, draw without
limit on the Treasury and study the
Heathen Chince. Who wouldn't be
parson to His Excellency on such
terms? When he returns all he will
be expected to do will be TO initiate
his wonderful predecessors wit,
make bill for anything under ono
hundred thousand dollars against tho
government, wrto long winded and
report nbUut his "in-
spoctions," and look wise forever after.
Well, we are coming TO the opinion
that these Consular Inspections are
about "played out" to use an inele.
giant but forcible expression. II it is
worth while at all to send a ahightoned
detective abroad to look after our Con-
sals and their doings, surely it is
worth while to send some one equal
TO the duty-some one having a
knowledge of our commercial relations
and possessed Of broad views and bust
ness experience. Does tho divine
Newman possess this knowledge and
experience? We fear not. In bis
man9uvrcs about tho lobbios of the
halls of Congress he may have picked
up somc limited notions Of "oommer-
cial relations" but hardly enough, and
centainly not of tho right kind, to fit
him for his new field of action. III
our amiable President had made this
lllustrlous ox-parson Inspector Gen
oral of Hell Gate widening it would
have been scarcely more inappropri.

STATE TREASURER. = Tho Radical
leaders have about as much respect
for the Constitution and tho rights Of
the people as wolf has for lambs
No better evidence of this fact ID
needed than the action of that party
in the Legislature upon the State
Treasury question. Tho people last
fall adopted an amendment to tho
Constitution, authorizing the election
OF State Treasurer by popular vote.
Yet the Legislature has just passed a
bill continuing Mr. Mackey, the pres
ont incumbent, in Office until MAY,
1874. it is wonder they did not
make K five years. We are sorry To
state that q few Democratic Senator's
and members deportcd themselves

HARD GND SOFT WATERFALL
housewives may not know how ma
terially the effects of hard and soft
water differ in the cooking of va
rious vegetables. While one spe-
cies Of vegetables requires hard or
soft water, as the case may be,
another species becomes sensibly
deteriorated by it. For instance,
peas or beans cooked in hard water
containing lime or gypsum will not
boil tender, because these substan-
ces harden vegetable caseine. In
soft water they will boil tender, and
lose certain raw, rank taste which
they retain in hard water. Many
vegetables las onions) boil nearly
tasteless in soft water, because all
the flavor is dissolved out. The
addition of salt often checks this, as
in the case Of onions, causing the
vegetables to retain their peculiar
tlavoring principles, besides much
nutritious matter, which mi ght be
lost in soft water. Thus 1T appears
that the salt hardens the water to u
degree. For extracting juices from
meat to make a broth or soup, soft
water unsalted and cold at first is
best, for it much more readily pen
etrates the tissues; but for boiling
meats where the juices should be
retained, put salt in while it is boil
ing, so as to seal up the pores at
once.

Baking Apples.

| do not think that housekeepers
have cooked apples nearly as often
as they should. There is nothing
more wholesome for desert than ap-
pies baked in various forms. They
should be cored, put in a dish with
a little water, each with 4 teaspoon
ful of sugar over it, bake until soft,
and served cold with cream or good
milk. Or make an apple float by
taking dozen tart apples, stew and
prepare them as for sauce; when
cold add the whites of two eggs,
beaten, then beat the whole TIL quite
stiff; having made previously soft
custard with the yolks, using about
pint of milk, put the apple on the
custard. Or make an apple pudding
by filling the cored apple with nut
meg, sugar and butter; make bat
ter of one egg, flour and milk, and
pour around the apple. Or pare,
core and spice say ten large tart APP
pies; bake till nearly done. Put
away to get cold; then prepare icing
as usual. Pour off all the juice, lay
the icing on the tops and sides as
thickly as you can; then return to
the oven to just harden and set. TO
be eaten with cream; and if you
haven't that, as the article is scarce
now-a- days, why good milk will an
swer, if you can get it.-Cor. Ger

Average Life Of Farmers.

According to DR.. Nathan Allen,
in a late address before farmers
club at Princeton, Mass, the farm
ers Of that State reach an age con-
siderably greater than those who
follow any other occupation. The
registration of deaths, carefully
made in Massachusetts, for about
thirty years, forms the basis of the
doctors assertion. On an average
the farmers there live to be sixty
five years of age, merchants about
forty-nine years, mechanics about
forty-eight years. We hardly think
that the average life of Western
farmers would be found to be so
long by several years as those of
the State in question, yet we pre-
sumo the relative difference Of the
length of life, as compared with
those Of our mechanics and business
men, would be about the same. The
deaths from some particular diseas-
es are greater in number among
farmers than among some of the 9th
err classes, such, for instance, as
arise from exposure to vicissitudes
of the climate, etc.; and the cases OF
insanity are, doubtless, more fire.
quent among farmers and farmers
wives than among the people Of cit
les and towns of whatever occupa-
tion.-Rruirie Eurmer.

FEEDING FowLs.-No plan is so
injurious as to throw down heaps
of grain once or twice day. They
should have it scattered as far as
possible, that the birds may be long
er and healthier employed in finding
it, and may not accomplish in few
minutes that which should occupy
them for hours. For this reason ev-
cry sort of feeder or hopper is bad.
1t is the nature of fowls to take a
grain at q time, and to pick grass
and dirt with it, which assist diges-
ton; but if, contrary to this, they
are enabled to eat corn by the
mouthfuls, their crops are soon over
filled, and they seek relief in exces
sive draughts of water. Nothing
is more injurious than this; and the
inactivity that attends the discom-
fort caused by it lays the foundation
of many disorders. While speaking
of food, it may be observed that,
when from travelling, or any other
cause, the fowl has tasted a long
time-say 80 to AZ hours,-it should
not be allowed any hard food. For
the fist three hours it should have
only p small portion, say a teacupful
of sopped bread, very wet, so much
as to serve for food and drink. If
the bird appears to suffer much from
the journey, instead of bread and
water give bread and ale.
