scruples in regard to the provision, that at the
third discussion only the Governor or the Su-
perlor Authority can propose amendments
they hold, that the Administration thereby OBJ.
tains an undue preponderance during the discus
siOns, and they are Of the opinion that the Coun-
Gil should have the same privilege, ifnot a single
Member, at all events whenever a suitable unm-
Der of Members agree. They would therefore
be inclined to propose a clause to the effect that
5 Members may at the 3rd discussion propose
amendments, if it should not be deemed p%erfera-
bile, as recommended by a considerable Majority
after the deliberations in 1862 on the Colonial
Law, that the detailed rules for the treatment
of Ordinances be omitted in the Col NAL Law
and embodied in the rules OF Business.
A Minority (Rosenstand) is of the opinion
that the prepOnderance given the Government
by the abOvesta ed provision is not of great i'm
pOrtance, but it is very useful, in so far as it
affords an opportunity of correcting inaccuracies
that might have crept in at the End discussion,
while it would be difficult, in the case of compli-
Gated law-wOrkS, to obtain sufficient guarantee
for their leaving the Council in proper form, if
at the last discussion they could be altered by
amendments proceeding from all quarters. He
therefore considers it not unlikely that the
Council would soon come to wish the right Of
Members to bring in amendments at the 3rd
discussion withdrawn again; but he was not
diSinclined to join in the proposal to this effect
that the rules in that respect be transferred to
the Rules Of Business. 1t appears to be too
much out of the way if a matter so entirely re-
Iating to the interior affairs of the Island had to
be referred to the Legislative Power of the
Kingdom in order to have the clause arranged
in the manner, which experience may prove to
suit US best.
No. 30. The whole Committee is there
fore unanimous in proposing:
In the 2nd section of this s the three last
clause;
"At the first discussion . propose amend
ments" be omitted.
ad 5 46,
Agreeable to what the Committee has stated
above when recommending that the obligation
to accept elections be abolished, the Committee
would here propose;
No. 81. THAT the two first sections of
this : be united into one and worded as fol-
lows

how shall the kitchen cabinet be ad-
ministered? 1t is perplexing ques-
ton, and no satisfactory solution of it
has been reached. There would be no
difficulty at all, however, if the foolish
notion that labor is degrading could be
exploded. "American' women could
get "American girls in plenty to aid
them in cooking, washing and house
work generally, if they would show by
their own precept and examplethat they
look upon such work as respectable"
We are aware how hard tits to overcome
the prejudices on this subject, but they
will have to be overcome, before there
is any relief. The negro servants, with
few exceptions, have ceased to be reli-
able, and, in all probability, will ulti-
mately give place in the South to white
labor. The dependence will then be
upon foreigndomesties, and what that
is, we may learn from the experience
of house-keepers in the large Northern
cities. We see no help for the future
but for our Southern ladies, like the
Roman and Greek matrons, to famil-
iarize themselves with house work, and
when they have dignifed it, and made
it honorable, there will be no difficulty
in obtaining the assistance of Others

Household Work.

A young woman lately committed
suicide in town of New York because
she was too proud to do housework.-
Whereupon a New York journal, the
Erpress, read solemn lecture to GA
merican girls" who are s'too proud to
do housework," and says that such are
''on the highway to swift destruction" :"
A very easy way of disposing of such
tomfoolery is to ask whether editors
who talk in that style are willing for
their own daughters to go out and "do
housework," and if not, do they con-
slider themselves as putting them con
the highway to swift destruction ?" If
they answer that there is no necessity
for their resorting to that vocation for
support, how do they know but it may
become necessary hereafter, in the
event of the death, or other misfortune
of those on whom they are dependent ?
Would they in such contingencies be
willing for their daughters to 60 out
and "do housework ?"
The hypocrisy and humbug of news
papers in such drivel as we have quot
ed are perfectly nauseating. Why not
speak out the plain truth, and say that
going out to domestic service in this
country is looked upon as a menial
and degrading occupation, and hence
is universally avoided by "American
girls?" We do not justify any woman
for putting an end to her life rather
than do such work, but we cannot
blame them for refusing to do it SO
long as society persists in affixing to it
badges of humiliation. Until all that
is changed, "American girls" are only
acting with proper spirit, when they
refuse to be humiliated.
The problem of obtaining suitable
house service is one Of the greatest af-
fictions of modern house-keepers. In
the old days of slavery, the South had
no trouble of that kind. But now ou1
Southern matrons are beginning to feel
sensibly in this respect the great change
which the Northern robbery of ou1
slave property has affected. Here, as
we'll as in the North, the question il

DoN'T Cur TOO LoW.-We thin

DON'T Cur TOO Low.-We think
many of our farmers make great mis-
take in cutting their grass very low,
and that this is more particularly the
case with timothy. If cut below the
frstjoint, its roots will seldom send up
shoots again until after the formation
of new side bulbs. Clover and other
deep rooted plants are not so much af-
fected; but we are satisfied that all or
any of them may be, and often are, in
jured by too close cutting. tits fact
well known that if timothy is allowed
to ripen its seed, and then cut with a
reaper or cradle, the second growth
will furnish double the amount of pas
ture as adjoining grass cut for hay

Darwinism.

His last lecture at Cambridge, Pro-
fessor Agassiz closed as follows:
''Then while it may be said on the
whole in general sense that lower
forms have preceded higher ones, and
that embryonic developement follows
the same progress from the simpler to
the more complex structure, it is not
true in detail that all the earlier ami
mails were simpler than the latter On
the contrary, many of the lower ami.
mails were introduced under more high
ly organized forms than they have ever
shown since, and have dwindled after
ward. Such are the types which have
called synthetic types, combining char
acters which were separated later and
found expression in distinct groups
That presentation of archaeological
phenomena which would make it APP
pear that the whole animal kingdom
has been smarshaled in a consecutive
procession beginning with the lowest
and ending with the highest, is false to
nature. There is no inevitable repeti-r
ton, no mechanjeal eeyolution in the
geological succession of organic life.=-

more, as always characterizes intellec-
tual work proceeding from the same
source. 1t has that freedom of mani
festation, that independence, which
characterizes the work of mind as COM
pared with the work oflaw. Sometimes,
in looking at this great epos of organic
life in its totality, carried on with such
ease and variety, and even playfulness
of expression, one is reminded of the
great conception of the poet or musi-
clan, where the undertone of the fun
damental harmony is heard beneath all
the diversity of rhythm or of song
So great is this freedom, so unlike the
mechanical action of evolution, and
that we find endless discrepancies,
endless incongruities, appalling anach-
ronisms in the would-be uninterrupt-
ed series of progressive events as ad-
vocated by the supporters of the trans
mutation dogma. Animals that should
be ancestors if simplicity of structure
is to characterize the first born, are
known to be of later origin; the more
complicated forms have frequently ap-
peared first, and the simpler ones later,
and this in hundreds of instances.

CATERP1LLARs.-Nowi is the time to
look out sharply for caterpillars: They
are busy weaving their nests and strip
ping the leaves off the apple trees. It
is the best way to take them while they
are young and small, for if neglected
till the leaves are fully grown there is
necessarily great injury to the tree, to
say nothing of the destruction they
cause in the process of growth. Fix a
brush upon the end of a long pole, and
go at them. If the trees are kept per-
fectly clean of them this year, you will
have less next, unless some careless
and slovenly neighbor lets all his go
to seed. Caterpillars are sign of
careless farming.

The Laurium mines, in Greece, which
now form the subject of dispute be-
tween the Greek and the French and
Italian Governments. were ancientIy the
source of the Greek coinage. but the
Government finally abandoned them as
having been worked ont. A company
of Frenchmen and Italians purchased
the property some ten years ago. and.
having since been profitably engaged 10
working the mines, attracted the atten-
tion and cupidity Of the Greek Govern
ment. The latter first attempted to gain
possession of the surface ore, as not hav-
ing been included in the grant, bit fail
ing, now seek to tax the company forty
per cent. of its profits. Tho matter is
now diplomatic question, i'll which
Italy and France take the part OF their
subjects. They have proposed reference
to arbitration. but Greece refuses to ao-
quiesce.
