LABOR,

occupations. There are more than
$4,000 men doing nothing in New

is increasing hourly Keep away
from New York. Living is fearfully
high; labor is scarce, and wages low.
Think of the case of poor Adolph
Leisure, yesterday. He landed with
bis wife and two children four weeks
ago. He was skilled cabinet maker,
but could get no work. They con-
sumed the little money they had, of
course, and Adolph begged. Finally,
last Tuesday he got something to do,
and he went home joyfully to his
wife to tell her that at least they had
their bread assured. She asked him
what the wages were, and he told
her, and ran away to his newly found
work.
He returned at night, and found
his children crying and calling for
their mamma. Half suspecting what
had happened, he rushed into their
wretched bedroom and his worst
fears were realized. On their poor
bed lay his wife, dead, pan of char
coal explained her death, and on the

MODERN DRINKING CUSTOMS.

The drinking customs of society
form curious topic of study. One
hundred years ago people of Anglo
Saxon stock drank coarse, alcoholic
drinks to the most beastly excess.
The habit was universal, and practic-
ed openly and without disgrace.
Men OF all degrees literally raiiO,ced
in drunkenness, and the number of
bottles a sound drinker could put
under his belt and live was a matter
ofproud Doasting.
The refinement, aud, it NAV be
added, the hypocrisy, of modern
society has changed all this, and
made it disreputablc to drink deeply,
and, in many parts of our own coun-
try, TO drink at all But in fact is
there less consumption of alcoholic
drinks than went on a century ago?
| believe the amount consumed will
be found to be about the same per
head, and that the various temper
ance movements have not essentially
lessened the amount used. The way
of using it has changed and what
was formerly practiced openly is
now done in secret, and orgies which
would have set English society
blushing in the time of the Georges,
are now occurring under the safe roofs
of many brown stone dwelling
along the avenues. / know lady

The Pittsburgh Commercial thinks
that, bad as things are in the Lower
Mississippi Valley, in consequence OF
the recent devastating floods in that
region, they are not, il now appears,
quite so dismal az was at first repre-
scented. The New Orleans Picayms OF
the 18th instant, in its financial review
says that men begin to think there is
a great deal Of exaggeration about the
actual losses, aad there is a much bet-
ter prospect for average crops than gen.
ersl reports indicate. Other southern
papers corroborale these opinions, which
are especially valuable, as removing
the apprehension that sugar, cotton,
rice and tobsccoo would be short to an
extent that would be seriously felt in
the home aud foreign markets for these
important staples. As the season pro-
crosses, bringing with it a complete
subsi lence Of the waters, the prospects
will doubtless grow better and better.

THE trial Of Professor SWING for
heresy has resulted in his acquittal by
the Chicago Presbytery by a vote OF
forty-five to fifteen. 1t is announced
however that the prosecution appeals
the case to the Synod of Northern
Illinois.
The trial has created quite sensa-
ton in Chicago and has been attended
by large numbers of citizens whose
sympathy was mainly with the accused,
and each new point in the defense was
greeted with applause, until the Presby'
terry was compelled to PIT
an end to the demonstrations
of approval. The Chicago Tribune OF
last Wednesday morning says: "The
most boisterous and eager people in at
tendance upon the Swine trial are the
ladies. Their sympathies are too pro-
nounced. They are daily put upon
their good behavior by threat OF ex-
pulsiop, but they forget aud 90 wrong
again with charming wllfulness and
abandon. Since they have been for
hidden to applaud or hiss-some Of
them can hiss like serpents-they find
a vent for ebulltions OF feeling in ejacu-
lations of Oh, Oh, Oh; and they have
succeeded, by varying the information TO
suit the occasion, in making this exc
pressive moDosyllable answer their pur'
pose. When Mr.. Fry said yesterday
that he would speak but short time.
there was q feminine "Oh" from both
sides of the house; but no words can
bridge the chasm between the SWING
"Oh and the PATTON "Oh."

THEY have beautiful state OF affairs
in South Carolina where carpet baggery
and reconstructed" have reached
their highest development. Governor
Moses has been indicted for grand lar
ceny, the charge being that he has
used public funds for the payment OF
his private debts. The Sheriff OF the
county procured the necessary legal
warrant and was about to arrest the
Governor when the latter refused to
be arrested, called out his negro militia,
surrounded the executive mansion with
armed men and babe def.
auce to the officers OF the
law. lie then attempted to arrest the
Sheriff for the high crime of offending
his Gubernatoral dignity, but that off,
Ger kept out Of the way and the Court
acknowledged itself powerless to cope
with the State militia. Subsequently,
however, Governor MosEs announced
that he was willing to stsud his trial
but would not submit to arrest. He
has discharged his troops and at latest
accounts all was again quiet in Column
bia.
This affair and the recent disgraceful
conflict in Arkansas seem to show that

great moral ideas the Southern States
are lspsing into condition OF Mexican

Domestic Recipes.

TEA CAKEs.-Five tea-cups of flour,
two and half Of sugar, four eggs, sour
cream enough to make . soft dough, and
one tesspoOnful of soda. Roll thin, cut
into shapes, and bake in . tolerably quick
oven.
FRUIT JANs.-lt is generally known that
boiling fruit for long time and skimming
it well without the sugar and without a
cover to the preserving pan, is a very
economical and excellent way, economical
because the bulk of the scum rises from
the fruit and not from the sugar, II the
latter is good, and boiling It without
cover, allows the evaporation of all the
watery particles therefrom; the preserves
keep firm and well favored. The propor-
tions are three quarters of pound of
sugar to . pound Of fruit Jam made In
this way OF currants, strawberries. rasp-
berries or gooseberries, is excellent.
COOKING POrATOEs.-Take q very mar
row ring Of the skin off the potatoes be-
fore boiling Gin kidneys the ring should be
taken OF lengthways) and when they are
ready for the table the remainder of the
skin will fall off in two pieces, leaving the
potatoes like ''fiour-balls." We have found
potatoes so treated much better than when
boiled without the skins being cut, and
as the skin leaves the potatoes in the pro-
cess Of cooking, it does away with the
Objectionable method Of peeling afterward.
We also adopt the practice Of putting new
potatoes in boiling water and matured In
cold water, not forgetting the salt in eli
