High Art in the Kitchen.

Professor Blot, the celebrated
French easisinier, speaking Of the
Importance of the culinary art, says
that the United States have the most
money Of any people, and the great
est abundance of raw material for
food; yet they live more poorly than
any civilized nation. For instance,
there is millionaire who has pork
and beans every second day for din
ner. There is no country where there
is SO much dyspepsia as in America,
because our people pay but little at
tention to food, and eat too much
meat for the exercise they take. If
one has mental labor, fish every sec
ond day is requisite. Soup sets all
the glands at work, and prepares the
stomach for the more important
functions of digestion, and therefore
should be taken at dinner every day.
Beef broth is to the old what milk is
to the young. Cookery properly at
tended to keeps man in health.
If the stomach is out of order, the
brain is affected. As the body is
composed of q variety of elements,
variety Of food is requisite to nourish
it. We should eat more fruits, veg
etables, soup and fish. Good and
well prepared food beauties the
physique, the same as good and
well-directed education beauti6es the
mind Wrinkles are produced by the
want of variety of food The man
who does not use his brain to select
and prepare his food, is not above the
brutes that take it in the raw state.

"And thou, too, Brutus.

| Anu InOu, LOOJ
In o recent communication to the
News, "Brutus" attributes the inefi-
cheney of certain teachers to their
following too closely the method
advocated by one of your correspond
ents, i. e. to throwaside the Spelling
books and learn to spell from the
Readers. :"
I do not wish to get into con-
troversy- especially with friend ''B. "
but the above is a pretty serious
charge. Let me me, at least, define
my position.
I do not discard the spelling book.
But I did elaim--and 1 think right
here is where we differ-that the
beginner has no use for it. If there
is any necessity for putting q child
through heightened drill in the
spelling book before teaching him to
read, / fail to see it. If a child of
six years can gather any idea from
the ba,be,bi, of onr Elementary
Spoilers his, powers of diseenment
must exceed mine. .........
The old method was to have the
pupil spell each word in the sentence
before pronouneing it.
The new-and dare 1 say better?
way is, by objects or pictures to
present the idea-then the word rep
senting it; teaching the word as o
achOle. .-........
A child learning to talk asks the
name of an object; you pronounce the
word as whole. He learns to dis
tinguish words by sound long before
hecan separate them into theirphonic
elements-why may he not learn to
distinguish them by sight in the
same mannert - .-
1 find that this method makes
natural, easy readers. Does it pre-
vent the child becoming proficient
in spelling? do not find it SO.
Isn't "Brutus" assuming a little
too much when he ascribes the in
efficiency of the said teachers to their
adoption of "my policy7" Suppose
they do attempt to use this method
and fail; does that prove the method
false one? ...
While have not "thrown the spell
ling book aside" 1 am sometimes rad
ical enough to think, that the time
may come when it viii be in a great
measure dispensed with, and spelling
taught only in connection with the
reading lesson.
As it is now taught, the child is
required to sit and con over long col
umns of words, to which he attaches

Archbishop Ledochowski, of Posen,
has at last reached the prison for
which his contumacy and Bismarck S
frmness long ago marked him. He
refused to pay any heed to the laws
passed last May placing the eccle-
siastics of Germany under the regu-
lation of the State. This disobedience
subjected him to fine, and his logical
refusal to pay the fine brought upon
him the confscation of all his prop
erty except his household goods. In
all these proceedings he was upheld
by the Pope, whom alone he recog-
nized as his superior. Finally, the
summons came for his resignation Of
the Archbishopric, and this he, still
acting under the orders of his Papal
chief, also declined to give. The re,
suit of the civil prosecution, which
was at once brought against him,
was his conviction, and his removal
to the prison of Ostrowo, where he is
likely to have abundant leisure for
reflection on the superiority of the
Church to the State, particularly in
Prussia.

Canon Kingsley went over to hear
Mr.. Beecher, Sunday morning, and
sat a few seats from the platform
and quite in front of the preacher,
and during the sermon was noticed
to be wholly unable to restrain the
tears which followed each other
quickly down his face. At the close
of the sermon he came forward to
speak with Mr.. Beecher, with whom
he appeared to be acquainted, but
we noticed, when he took his hand
he could not control his feelings suf-
fciently to utter aword, but letting
go of Mr. Beecher's hand, he turned
from him to tarry at one Of the two
baskets of flowers which adorned the
platform until he could get control
of himself. He said to Rev. Mr.. Hal
iday, Mr.. Beecher's Assistant, ''With
all I have heard and read of Mr..

20 don't say that! You certainly
don't mean it. Perhaps you have
not thought what the charge means.
That well-dressed girl cannot be vul-
gar"
"But she is" - -
"Exeuse me. Let me assure you
that she belongs to one of the first
families in the city of -. Hers is
in fact a distinguished family"
"But she is vulgar" ...--
"Take back that charge. Look at
her! What q fair complexion! What
sweet lips! Her teeth are like pearls!
What eyes she hasl And that broad,
beautiful browl Take back your Sc

81 can not 1 dare not. I see no
beauty in her. To me her brow is
bold and brazen, her lips are stained,
her eyes are dull, her whole face is
repulsive. I heard her talk. She
did not know that l heard, or she
did not think that to my mind such
expressions as she used are altogeth-
er unladylike, coarse, and-vulgar.
Yes, vulgar is the word. I cannot
take it back.
So my friend persisted in her de-
nunciation of the fair girl 1 had before
admired. And I confess that my
friends Judgment had weight with me,
and the beautiful Miss - became
in my thought the vulgar Miss -.
AS such I shall think of her, for my
friend is lady of culture and char,
ity and honor and purity. So 1 said
to myself: Coarseness and vulgarity
destroy beauty and reputation. A
young girl should guard her lips
with scrupulous care. Slang tones
and phrases, familiar talk and ways
in the presence of gentlemen, loud
tones of voice, and all that sort OF
thing, are signs of vulgarity which il
is hard for high minded and pure
women to overlook, and which true
gentlemen can never forget, even
when they try to forgive it. a4-a

The Moral Character OrTeach.

HE moral Character OF Teach
MR- EDIToR:-After reading the
communication By ftFrank" in the
News Of Feb. 18th, it seems to me
that a little more ought to be said
on the same subject /, too, noticed
the article referred to from Concord
moreover, 1 know the parties alluded
to therein. -.-- f.-.T .-,,...
"Frank" says: s'Yet their certif-
Gates say, that they are men of good
moral character" This will bear a
little emphasis. a Each certificate is
sued by our Board of Examiners sets
forth, as one of the grounds for
granting the same that the person
has presented satisfactory evidenee
Of good moral character.
Now what does it take to consti-
tute satisfactory evidence? True,
that which would satisfy one man
might not satisfy another; but sup
posing our Examiners to be as clear
of apprehension as the rest of man
kind, ought they not, after seeing
some of these fellows intoxicated on
the streets of Hillsboro, seeing 9TH
ers loafng about our saloons, and
inhaling their alcohol-scented breath
in the examination rooms, to go a
little slow about certifying to their
moral character, on the bare say-so,
of some unknown School Director?
1 do not wish to entirely excuse
the Directors, who, no doubt, often
do, as ':Frank" says, "sign a
certificate of morality without fore
thought CT proper consideration, or
for accommodation" But some de-
gree of allowance should be made for
them. They have hard row to hoe
at the best, and get no pay for it, and
it is pretty hard, after brothers son,
or cousins nephew, has 'kep' mid
dim good school an done it cheap"
to refuse to sign the certificate which
may be the young hopeful's salvation
"at Hillsboro. ......
With the Examiners the c1se is
different. They are paid, and well
paid, for their services, else why so
much wire-working to get the office9
They are sworn moreover to do GER
tain things, one of which is, to'satisfy
themselves of the good moral character
of each one to whom they issue a
certificate, and they are ealso empower
ed to revoke the certificate of any one
on due cause shown.
Teachers are also somewhat to
blame in this matter. True, it is
somewhat diseouraging to always be
met by the excuse of the Board, that
they know nothing of the immoral
habits of these men, and can get no
proof of the facts alleged against
them; but the better class of teachers
ought fearlessly. to report the names
of these chaps to the Board, demand
the reYokal of their certificates, and
bring q pressure to bear upon the Ex-
aminers which would compel them
to act with more circumspection.

A month or two ago, Mrs. Waite,
the wife of the present Chief Justice,
wrote an article on Cookery" for the
Cincinnati Gazette, and attached the
signature of "a Yankee Cook Girl. ="
The article was SO well composed, and
filed with so much genuine sound
sense of domestic affairs, that it COM
pletely carried by storm the heart of
an old widower residing in Cincinnati,
and he addressed a private letter to
Mr. Sam Reed, the editor, stating
that he would like to give permanent
employment to the yankee Cook
Girl, not as hired girl, but as his
wife. Mr.. Reed was compelled to
reply that the aforesaid lady could
not except his kind offer, as she had
already obtained a situation in an
other city.

The Rumseller's Advertise

Friends and neighbors-having
just opened commodious shop for
the sale ofHquid. fire, I take this ear
ly opportunity of informing you that
on Saturday next, I shall commence
the business of making drunkards,
paupers and beggars, for the sober,
industrious and respectable portion
of the community to support.
Ishall deal in ':taniliar spirits, :"
which will excite men to deeds of
riot, robbery and bloodshed; and by
SO doing diminish the comforts, aug
ment the expenses, and endanger the
welfare of the whole community.
I will undertake, at short notice,
for small sum, and with the great
est expedition, to prepare victims for
the Asylum, the Poorhouse, the Pris-
on and the Gallows.
I will furnish an article that will
increase the amount of fatal accidents,
multiply the number of distressing
diseases in the land, and render
those that are comparatively harm
less, incurable.
I will deal in drugs which will de-
prive some of life, some Of reason,
most of property, and all of peace;
which will cause fathers to be iends;
wives, widows; children, orphans; and
all, mendicants.
I will cause the rising generation
to grow up in ignorance, and prove
burden and nuisance to the nation.
1 will cause mothers to forget their
sucking infants; virgins their virtue
and priceless innocence.
will corrupt the ministers of re-
ligion, obstruct the progress of the
gospel, defle the purity Of the
Church, and cause temporal, spiritu-
al and eternal death; and if any per-
son should be so impertinent as to
ask why I have the audacity to bring
such accumulated misery upon COM
paratively happy people, my honest
reply is-money is my object.
I have license, and if I do not
bring these evils upon you somebody
else will.
live in q land of liberty, and I
will do as I Please.
Ihave purchased the right to de-
molsh the character, destroy the
health, shorten the lives and ruin the
souls of those who choose to honor
me with their custom.
Ipledge myself to all 1 have herein
promised. Those who wish any of
the evils above specified brought up
on themselves on their dearest

bar, where I will, for few cents, fur
nish them with o certain means of
