RECIPES. ETC.

Rice Pudding Without Eggs.-Put
into well-buttered dish half pound bes,
Carolina rice, simply washed; pour on il
three pints of cold milk: sweeten and
flavor to taste; put little butter and nut
meg on the top to brown; bake two and
half hours in slow oven, on which
much of the success OF the pudding de.
ponds.
Cure for Warts.-Lisfranc immcrses
the parts on which the warts are de.
veloped in strong solution of black
soap. This causes slight cauterization
OF the surface Of the wart The loosened
tissue is to be removed and the applica-
ton repeated every day till the cure is
complete. Oil of vitriol should never be
used for this purpose; it is very irritat-
ing, and in1ames the warts instead Of
curing them.
If you are well, let yourself alone.
One Of the great errors of the age is we
medicate the body too much. More per-
sons are destroyed by eating too much
than by drinking too much. Gluttony
kills more than drunkenness in civilized
society. The best gymnasium is wood
yard, clearing, or corn field. A hearty
laugh is known the world over to be a
health promoter; it elevates the spirits,
enlivens the circulation, and is marvel.
ously contagious in good sense. Bodily
activity and bodily health are inseparable
If the bowels are loose lie down in bed
remain there and eat nothing until you
are we'll. The three best medicines in
| the world are warmth, abstinence and re
pose.-Heraldo of Health.
| AS the season for sugar-making has
arrived l would like to give your reader:
my experience in canning maple strip
! have succeeded in keeping it as nice a.
when first canned, without any trouble
from capitalization, by simply turning
the can bottom side up and letting it re
main so for an hour before putting i
away. By serving it in this way have
kept it when the strip was nearly as thict
as strained honey, as free from crystal
lizing as when first put up. 1t is but dut

because Of Democratic obstinacy and the
popular ignorance, this is almost true
but to apply the statement to the whole
! of the original democratic confederacy
the eleven Southern States-and it is
not true. The original purpose Of re
construction was TO reclaim the South
ern States from the anomalous and
ruined condition in which they were
placed when the Democratic Confed.
eracy of Jefferson Davis fell, and to
assign to each its proper place in the
Union; to give to each its fair repre-.
sentation in Congress, and to place
them on such basis that they could
maintain popular government with
out the presence Of vast Union
army to uphold each State. All this had
to be accomplished ten years ago This
is all accom- lished today, and in this
sense reconstruction has proved q sue
cess SO the Republican party has not
only brought the country up to the point
of theoretical perfection embraced in
the declaration of the principles of the
early fathers, but it has actually rescued
nearly half the country from the ruin
and chaos into which Democratic stu
pidity and crime had plunged it, When
reconstruction took hold of the South
there were no organized States in that
section, no State Governments, no Legis-
latures, no Judges, no Governors-noth-
ing but vast territory of bafiled and
disheartened rebels and vast horde of
liberated slaves. Reconstruction brought
order out Of chaos, and each State now
has Government and is represented in
Congress; and this before the Republi-
can party passed out Of power.
The Republican party and policy have
done more for the country and humanity
in the last fourteen years than the
Democracy did in half century. 1t
has, however, committed some mistakes,
one of which is possibly the enactment
of the Civil Rights bill. This is objected
to by the Democracy; but it will not
probably prove Of much inconvenience
All things considered, with
the exception Of some minor mistakes
the Republican policy and party have
proved great success.

A Bold AyOwal Of SecessiOnism.

1t is well known that MI William w.
Eaton, of Connecticut, now Que OF the
representative Democrats of the nlted
States Senate, was during the war an
avowed Copperhead and Secessionist.
The speech which he made last Saturday
on the Louisiana question shows that he
has not changed a hairs breadth, and he
is too day just what he was then.
He Claimed says the report of his
speech, THAT the Union was confeder-
aCy and not a nation, and that the State
OF Connecticut was sovereign power"
This is the exact doctrine of Calhoun
and jeff. Davis and all the nullitiers and
secessionisls. 1t is bold, unqualified
avowal of the extreme Southern Estate
rights heresy. Upon this doctrine the
rebellion was begun and fought out
Granting this doctrine the right OF
secession inevitably follows. If the
| mon is mere contederacy and not an
integral nation, If it depends upon the
pleasure of the several members, ii each
State remains sovereign, then the Union
may be dissolved at any moment. 1t be
comes simply a rope OF sand. The dec
laration, We repeat, is precisely the same
as that upon which JefI Davis and all
his fellow. traitors justified the rebellion.
To argue this question is 10 assume
that nothing has been determined by the
war except the mere physical superior
ity OF the North. The country had sup
posed that the war settled this doctrine
OF secession forever. But here comes u
leading Democratic Senator from a
Northern State, just elected as the rep
resentative Of his party, and declares MS
a Democratic principle the extreme State
rights creed of JEFF. Davis How do the
people like the exhibition.

THE SPhINC BoNNET.-G Generally it is
to be white in color and chip in material.
Both excellent qualities. What is
simpler, prettirr, more effective on the
heart OF wong man than the sight of
some ones face Unframed in gracefully
outlined chip bonnet, and decorated in
the same spirit of simplicity, 1t is a
delight to think that the old and express
i've. properly modified to suit the adj
vance in the taste, are to be introduced
again. There are associations in these
things which it is neither easy nor de.
sirable to pull away, as one might twitch
a vine from trellis. A bonnet is &C
counted but vanity as they have been
making them for many years, but there
is a world of expression crowded into
graceful one, and hearts very easily get
entangled in the gauzy material out OF
which they are woven into such killing
effects By all means let the simple
chip straw be restored to favor, and pray
do not make it carrya load of vegetables
and fruits, as if it were made for meas
ure but was blunderingly filled from the
closed side.-shdssachusett PeusHmGa. Z

WASHINGTON, Dec. Pit would be 8
great mistake to suppose that there will be
nothing done in political matters during the
recess Of Congress- 1t is true that as to actual
legislation these days are dies non, but in fact
more than half of the days during which Con
gress Is i'll session may be classed in the same
category.
AS regards political maj &C vres the case is
Tar di1creut; tue recess is already busy with
concocting them They will all be based on
Investigations. The Senate will investigate
the recent elections in Mississippi, and will get
batch Of campaign documents out of it. But
that Is like Sambo's powder, it won's 20 off;
1t has been shot before. There was some talk
OF Senate Investigation into certain alleged
wrongs to the colored race 10 the school policy
OF Maryland, but that was quickly abandoned,
as the Radicals must forever be dumb 10 the
face OF tho wholesale robbery OF the public
school funds in South Carolina.

OF plckiugs for political purposes 10 the details
OF the expenditures of the Executive depart
ments The Offices Of the District of Column
