HIGH SALARIEs.-The raising of Beecher's
salary to 100000 year gives him the
largest compensation in the Union. But
one salary in the world transcends it-that
of the viceroy of India, which is 100000,
or $250,000 year, though it is possible the
salary of Lord Dufferin, as Governor of
Canada, is 100000, or $l50,0OO a year. We
are told that F. B. Cafin pays his credits
man." Mr.. Donaldson, 100000 a year, on
account of his unprecedented knowledge
of credits The firm do business of
$7O,OOO,OO0 year, and this business is
entirely credit one; therefore a skilful
knowledge of the buyers, their standing
and personal habits, is of more value than
ten per cent. upon hissales to Mr.. Donaldson.
There are many statesmen in the leading
houses in New York with salaries reaching
as high as $4,000, while the leading
journalist must content himself with
$4,000.

How to Fry.

To fry is simply to boil in fat; yet it is
seldom so considered, much less practiced.
A little fat to prevent sticking is used, and
with pork, none at all. The fat is melted
or fried out, the part coming i'll contact
with the iron scorched; this is repeated on
the other side, leaving the centre, if the
slice is thick one, comparatively raw.
This surely spoils it. Immersed in fat
sufficiently hot and chance given it, it will
cook through, the inside being tender and
done, the outside light crisp, deepened in
color.
1t will be objected that too much fat will
have to be used. This is not necessary.
Suit the vessel to the amount of meat to be
cooked, so that the bottom is well laid over.
1t will then require but very little fat to
cover it. Particularly is this required OF
fish that arc cooked whole, SO that the hot
fat gets inside. This can be done by i'm
mersing but half the fish. Turning it will
cook the other half the whole taking but
few minutes. Never fry fish long, as it
is very sensitive to heat, yielding readily.
The freshness and sweetness will thus be
retained.
Fat used for frying should be kept for
that purpose, and that for fish used for fish
alone. You can heat it in few minutes,
and you can have this additional advantage,
that you can raise the temperature to any
degree you want it, which cannot be done
with water. The work can thus be expe-
dited with fat, and any color secured that
is wanted in the case of fried cake OIL
crulIers, almost the only things treated
customarily in this way, and it is the best
specimen of frying that we commonly meet
with-seldom a failure.

LITTLE THIXGs.-Life is made up of little
things. He who travels over continent
must go step by step. He who writes a
book must do it sentence by sentence. He
who learns science must master it fact by
fact, and principle by principle. What is
the happiness of our life made of? Little
courtesies, little kindnesses, pleasant words,
genial smiles, a friendly letter, good wishes
and good deeds. One in a million, once in
a lifetime, may do heroic action; but the
little things that make up our life come
every day and every hour. If we make the
little events of life beautiful and good, then
is the whole life full of beauty and good
ness.

COLLEGES FOR EN.-Massachussetts is
generally credited with being at the head
of all the States in adopting new notions,
particularly when they relate to education.
But in the matter of the "higher education
of women,'' as it is called, she has not been
so far advanced as many suppose. In a
month or two, however, she will open two
colleges, "well endowed and thoroughly
equipped" which will be devoted exclu-
sively to the education of women. One of
Smith College, at Northampton
was dedicated few days ago, Rev. L..
Clarke Seelye, the President, delivering
the inaugural address. Smith College is to
be of the old classical school, and is to
teach women the same things as men are
taught in the old universities, and is to
have the same standard for admission.

Wilkes with cane, and some fencing fol-

picion of being aiders and abettors

The supposition is that the James

and that they escaped. The general
impression prevails at Liberty that

appear to take the whole matter as /

RaELROAD u,

Senator Stevenson, of Storey,
has introduced bill granting the
right of way to Michael Lynch,
James Kelly, r. NJ. Daggett, and
their associates, to construct a rail-
road, with such gauge and such
materials as they may deem ex-
pedient, from the coal mines OF the
Virginia City Coal Company, in
Ell Dorado Canyon, twelve miles
southeast of Dayton, to Virginia
City, or such point on the Virginia
and Truckee Railroad as they may
hereafter deem practicable and
expedient. The survey of the
road is to be completed before jan
uary l, 1876, and the road must be
finished within two years from the
passage of this Act. All the rights,
franchises, and privileges relating
to the right of way, depots, ac-
curing corporate property, etc,
which are granted other railroads,
are also extended to this company.
The bill came up Thursday on
its final passage. President pro
TEN. Stevenson called Senator
Cohn to the chair, and took the
floor. and made an able and con-
elusive argument in support of the
bill, showing the actual necessity
of such road, and the great ben
efts to be derived from it by the
mining interests Of Lyon and
Storey counties, and Western
Nevada generally, in the large sup
ply of coal obtained from these
mines, and its cheappess by means
of such increased facilities and low
rates of transportation. The bill
then passed, by 10 yeas to l nay.
we belleYc 1t is the Will OF the
people of Lyon county that the
Bill become law, and we hope the
Lyon County Delegation, to whom
the Bill was referred in the House,
will so report. As far as our in
quiries have extended, We have
failed to find a dissenting voice,
especially is this the case with the
large taxpayers. The short time
in which these gentlemen propose
to build the road shows that they
are in earnest, and that it is no job
bling affair. Give US the road.
