President Grant has published a letter
denying that he wishes for q third term in
a rather curious way. The Republican
Convention of Pennsylvania has resolved
that third 't~ms are opposed to the
"unwritteH law" of the Constitution, and
Informed General Grant of their decision.
The President consequently writes to say
that he ''does not want the third term
any more than he did the first" that the
ConstiGation cannot be altered by resolu-
ton, but that he is not a candidate, and
would not accept a renominatio '"unless
it should come under such circumstances
as to make it an imperative duty,-cir-
cumstances not likely to arise" This
means, we presume, that General Grant
will accept a third term if war seems close
at hand, but the words used leave him q
very large loophole indeed. An unani-
NOUS nomination, for example, is not a
circumstance likely to arise" but the
President might say it was just the con-
tingency he had Contemplated.

A dispute of a somewhat serious kind
exists as to 3 sentence supposed to have
been uttered by Lord Derby in his answer

mediation between France and Germany.

The Fiji Islands have been annexed,
and the islanders, as usual, are passing
away. A British ship, it appears, landed
there some returned emigrants i'll with
measles, and these men scattered to their
homes. The disease being considered
trivial by Europeans, no precautions were
taken, but as usual when an inferior race
catches an infectious disease from u superior
one, its virulence was intensified, it speedi-
ly became a plague, and the natives, natu-
rally believing that it had been designedly
introduced to kill them off, refused medicine
a~nd~ASShed into the sea to alleviate the tor
ment Of the rash. The bathing produced
acute dysentery, and it is believed, as Lord
Carnarvon admitted on Thursday, that most
of the Chiefs and a third of the popula-
tion-say $4,000 persons-have died.
There is no certainty either that the
worst is past, or that the pestilence may
not be followed by d native outbreak,
against which the Colonial Office has
taken precautions. The native constabula>
~, who are under dicipIiue, have been
compelled to submit to proper treatment,
and none of them have died /; but though
doctors and. medicine have been ordered
from Sydneypno power exists to compel
the natives to use either. 49,

The Way to Judge of Wool on a Live
Sheep.

THE finest and softest wool is always
found on the shoulders of sheep. But
not one person in 10000 is aware of this
fact. Let US watch an expert when he is
about to pass judgment on sheep con-
corning the value of the animal for pro-
ducing WOOL and it will be seen that he
always looks at the wool on the shoulders
first. A writer of extensive experience
in rearing fine-wooled sheep and in hand
ling wool communicates the following
suggestions for selecting good wooded
sheep: Always assuming that the wool
to be inspected is really fine wool we
first examine the shoulder at the part
where the finest and best wool is usually
found. This we take as the standard,
and compare it with the wool from the
ribs, the thigh, the rump and the shoulder
parts, and the nearer the wool from these
various portions of the animal approach
es the standard the better. First we
scrutiniZe the fineness, and If the result
be satisfactory we pronounce the fleece
in respect of fineness very" even" Next
we inquire into the length of the staple,
and if we find that the wool on the ribs,
thigh and back approximates reasonably
in length to that of our standard we
again declare the sheep, as regards
length of staple, true amt even. We
next desire to satisfy ourselves of the
density of the fleece; and if we do this
by closing the hand upon portion of
the rump and of the loin wool, the fleece
at these points being usually the thinnest
and faulty, and if this again gives salts
faction we signify 9Ae fact by designat-
ing the wool even" as respects density.
Now to summarize these separate exam
nations: If you find the fleece of nearly
equal fineness from the shoulder to the
thigh of nearly equal length on the
shoulder, rib, thigh and back, and of
density on shoulder and across the loins
you may conclude that you have nearly
perfect sheep for producing valuable
wool. Selecting sheep for valuable
feeders is quite another thing.-N, Y.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

Sugar Snaps.-One cup of butter;
two cups of sugar; four cups of flour;
one egg; stir sugar and butter to
cream; add the egg well beaten, and
small teacupful of water with quarter
of a teacupful of soda dissolved in it;
stir half spoonful of cream tartar into
the flour; roll out very thin and bake in
a moderate oven.
Rice Meringue-Rice,s peach pre-
serve, whites of two eggs, one-half
large cup of sugar Steam the rice.
Add milk and salt. Butter the dish in
which it is to be served Put layer of
rice in it, then a layer of preserve. Other
layers of rice and preserve until The dish
is full. Smooth the top. Beat the whites
of the eggs to froth stir in the sugar.
Put this on the rice. Place the dish in
the oven, to remain there until the frost
ing is handsome brown. To be served
warm, not hot.
Christmas Pudding.-Two loaves of
bakers bread, seven eggs, one pint bowl
of suet, one pound Of raisins, one pound
of currants, one grated nutmeg, a little
Glove. Soak the bread in cold water.
Then after getting it as dry as possible,
and the eggs well beaten, the suet
chopped fine, stoned raisins, currants
(Which have been rubbed in little dry
tiour), nutmeg and Glove, boil for two
hours. To be eaten hot, with rich
sauce.
Method is necessary to well-regu-
lated house. Without it the work drags
heavily along from Monday morning UNI
til Saturday night. Begin the week
properly, keep everything in order as
you go along, and the chances are fair
that you will find yourself in fine condi-
ton at the end of the week. A iudicious
manager will never suffer her domes-
tic affairs to become disarranged, be-
cause such a contingency involves too
great an expenditure of good temper and
peace in family.
An Excellent Bread Pudding.-Soak
two pounds of pieces of dry, stale bread
or toast all night in plenty of water, with
a plate laid on the top to keep them under
the water. Next morning pour off and
squeeze out all the superfluOus water
then mash fine the pieces of bread, mix
with half pound of cleaned currants, a
quarter of a pound of moist sugar, four
ounces of suet chopped fine, and two
teaspoonsful of fresh ground allspice
grease the inside of a baking dish with a
bit of suet, put in the pudding and bake
for two hours.
"A Pan Dowdy.-Did you ever hear
of pan dowdy? 1t is an old-fashioned
New England dish, and has a flavor of
our grandmother's cookery. Make rich
crust-line deep earthen pot with it;
now slice some pie apples quite thin for
the first layer, stew the apples with mo-
lasses and spice and a teaspoonful of
milk; cover with thin crust and repeat
the process. Cover the top with crust
and your pan dowdy is made. Bake in

A Chapter on Broadway Beauties-The
Use Of Cosmetics.

ONE of the principal excuses which
women plead for the care they take to
make themselves appear beautiful is,
that this care is chiefly employed in Or
der to secure the approval of the men.
We have heard this artless confession
made many times, and are willing to ac-
cept it IN the good faith in which it is
offered. When q man sees a woman
deliberately and extensively dressed-for
the present we leave good taste out of
the questlon-leadlng gospel life ac-
cordlng to st. Worth, he experiences a
certain feeling of qualification upon
learning that all the extravaganza has
been committed solely upon his account.
The only proviso is that he is not expect
ed to pay the bills, when, in addition to
gorgeous toilet, he perceives that the
woman who has attracted his eve has
washed her face with oriental cream,
tinted her lips and cheeks, and possibly
the lobes of her ears, with carmine, has
penciled her eyebrows and dyed her
eyelashes, has possibly swallowed some
of Fowler's solution for her complexion.
and employed belladonna to lend brill.
fancy to her eyes, and finally, with aure-
ated tincture has turned yellow hair
which erring nature made black; when
he beholds all these latest improvements
introduced into that frail tenement
that French flat-which the soul of or
binary womanhood usually inhabits, and
when he is informed that all this is done
for his sole delectation, is he not bound
by every tie Of honor to feel particular
thrills of gratitude and to proclaim this
thing of paints and paddings the most
unseltish of her sex? 1t is to be feared
that the majority of men are not given
10 such amiable emotions as these. We
do not incontinently fall down and wor-
ship those who take too much pains
to please. Our alteration is a little
more intense when we are a trifIe

to know the opinion of the average male
pedestrian along Broadway respecting
the average girl or woman who prom
enades there, keep your ears open and
walk slowly along that thoroughfare for
a couple of hours every fine afternoon.
You VIII hear sarcasm, bitter testing and
scurrlllty; but not particle of gratitude
or appreciation. The fact is that men do
not appreciate powder and paint. They
forgive them when they are artisticallv

Intelligence of the Horse.

In recent Tribune appears a clipping
from the 111rt, Field and Farm giving an
account of party of "Surveyors Saved
by Horse" AS an evidence that such
intelligence is by no means confined to
the INDIAN ponies" the following will
be interesting to lovers of that noble
beast in general:
In the fall of 1861 we were campaign
ing in Southwestern Missouri; and on a
very cold evening it became my duty to
relieve the chain of pickets in our front.
| started from camp with o0out seventy
mounted men about an hour before dark;
made my circuit, dropping the new men
and taking up the old; and when all had
been relieved it had become quite dark
and slight snow began to fall and the
wind to increase in force
We were now about a mile and half
from camp if we were to follow the
picket-line till we struck the road, but in
a direct line not more than half to three
quarters of mile; and wishing to get
into quarters before the storm became
severe concluded to take a short cut for
home-which, like many an attempted
short cut, proved very long one; for
after riding long enough to have gone
several times the distance it became aps
parent that we did not know where we
were, and was forced to acknowledge
that was not very good leader.
In turn, several of my men, who
thought they could do better, tried to
lead us; but all to no purpose. 1t was
now nearly eleven o'clock, showing and
blowing gale, 18th a fair prospect of
our having to re pain out all night.
had noticed an unusual fretfulness and
indisposition to submit to my guidance
on the part of my mare; and it flashed
upon my mind like an inspiration: Per-
haps she can take us to camp! We had
dismOunted in small ravine and built a
fire. gave the order to mount and told
the boys that was going to try Betsey
and see if she did not know more than
all of us. We moved out of the ravine,
and after getting well out on the prairie
| gave her the rein. AS soon as she real.
lied her freedom found her bearing off
to the left, and in about ten or fifteen
minutes we saw a fire which, ON nearing
it, proved to be the one we had just left
She showed no inclination to go into the
ravine but skirted along the edge until
she reached narrow point. This she
leaped and soon struck into brisk trot
and in twenty minutes more we were
safe in camp, much to the joy of all, for it
was feared that we had been pushed.
On several occasions subsequently !
tested Betsey's intelligence and always
with the best of results. Once, having
returned at evening from long scout, ]
found camp had been moved and could
get information only as to the direction
the regiment had taken After about
three hours brisk ride Betsey brought
me not only to camp but to my own
company, and never stopped till she
stood in front of my tent.-Cor. Chicago
