are also very wasteful in the matter Of
fuel. A little handful Of sticks or two
quart bag OF Goals can be made to cook
more food in European kitchen than a
barrow-lOad of wood, or half-bushel of
anthracite with us. The economical for
cigner calculates how much fuel will be
needed to cook his dinner, and when that
is done the fire goes out; while in the hot
test weather. we keep the range roaring
from morning till night. In the article OF
clothing. we arc still more extravagant.
1t is not only the rich who change their
dresses as often as is demanded by the ca
price of fashion-the spring and fall style
must also be followed by those who earn
their bread in the sweat of their brow, and
new garments had, whether the old ones
are worn out or not.
True economy consists in the cutting off
of superfluities. 1t is not easy in all cases
to determine what superfuity is. / once
knew wealthy lady, who, imagining that
it was necessary TO retrench her expenses.
sold her canary birds There are some
small economies that are simply mean
would not take away, even from those who
most live by charity, all the little luxuries,
which By use have come to be regarded as
necessities. Let the good pensioner have
her cup of tea, although it costs more than
meal, and not furnish the same amount of
nourishment. The indulgences Of the
poor are not very numerous. But when
wages are low and prices high, it is not
we'll to buy things which are costly, be-
cause they are out Of season, or to pay
double price for fancy brand of -four,
when cheaper article is just as sweet and
nutritious, or to insist upon having sirloin
steaks, when, by little skill, another part
of the animal can be made equally pala-
table. 1t is astonishing how cheaply one
may live and live well, if he gives his
mind to it. True economy consists in
checking the small lcakages. Keep an
account of everything that you spend in
the course of a month, then run your eye
over it, and see how many things might
have been dispensed with.
And lastly, true economy consists in the
injudicious use of materials. What is
called "a capable person." will make an
article of food or clothing 60 ten times
farther, than one who has no gift in that
direction. The former utilizes the odds
and ends, which the latter throws away.
Some people are careless, in order to save
time, and then waste the time they have
saved. Shiitlessness is the mother Of
want. The Proverbs of Solomon contain
great many valuable suggestions on this
subject. and close with recommending
to the reader a careful re-perusal of that
editying book.-N. \. Ledger.

ulcers, and all diseases arising from impure blood,
II Vegetlne Is used according to directions. There

THERE is one noble means of aveng-

is by doing still better, and silencing
it solely by the increasing excellence
of our works. This lie the only true
way Of triumphing; but if, instead OF
this, you undertake to dispute, to de-
fend, or to criticise by way Of repr'-
sal, you invite yourself in endless

MANAGING MorHERs.-TAose prudent
matrons who show natural anxiety
and do their utmost to get their daugh-
tiers married, are too often scorned un-
der the contemptuous appellation of
managing mothers. 1t is unquestion-
ably very desirable thing that a
girl, on reaching the nubile age, should
be paired with suitable male partner
for life; and mother with her matri-
monial experience would seem the
proper person to make the selection.
If marriage were, as some rare SEN
timentalists pretend, an affair Of love
to which hubble youth are led by an
instinct OF mutual liking. we should
protest against any interference with
so charming and natural process.
The young single women and men, too,
of our day are not such artless Great
ures as to trust themselves to an in
stinctive love which might pcrchance
guide them to the arms of coachman
or a chambermaid. They are too
worldly-minded to run such risks, and
in looking out for matrimonial part
ners never fail to calculate the chances
Of prosperous establishment for life
As we cannot have love, let us have
prudence, and who SO fit 10 exercise
it as the experienced matron? She is
able to distinguish between the tinscl
and the genuine metal. Where the
young daughter fancies wealth in cs-
pense, the mother recognizes its real
existence in thrift. Where the former
finds intelligence, the latter detects
pertness. Where the dsmscl sees
beauty and grace, the matron discov-
ers efcminacy and fccblcncss. The
daughter and the mother are seeking
the same object-a rich, pa,sably in
telligent, wholesome, and cookbook
ing man, az a proper husband for the
one, and respectable son-in-law for
the other. Love being out Of the
question, and the whole affair reduced
to problem of probabilities, we in
sist that the experienced mother is
more likely to solve it than the mex
perienced daughter. No woman who
has not that knowledge Of man &C.
quired by matrimony has any knowl-
edge Of him at all. If, then, nature be
rejected as guide to the coupling Of
the sexes, let us avail ourselves Of the
most perfected art. And this, we can
not doubt, as far as marriage is con-
cerned, is to be found not in the single
but the married woman. The ill-as-
sorted matches which so often out
rage nature and all conventional pro.
priety are generally those which the
parents have had nothing to do with
or protested against. A young lady's
judgment is Of little value in matri.
monial calculation. She is apt to
choose her partner for life as she does
her gown, for its snowy and surface
qualities. Her mother, on the contra
~, is more likely to investigate their
as to utility of service,
length of wear, and permanence of
Nature would probably
be the best matchmaker; but as her
services are rejected, we should prefer
TO rely upon the parents rather than
The children. So far, then, from treat
ing with contempt those who are bus
wing themselves with trying to get
husbands for their daughters, we
should. for the sake Of coming gener-
atoms, bid God-speed to all such
managing mothers. Hdrpe,'s Bazar.

WASHINGTON, March 9, Is

The information from New Or
leans relative to the PROCESS of the
Wheeler compromise is very favor
able. Wheeler to day received u
dispatch stating that ~ members
of the Conservative Senate have al
ready signed the agreement of ar
bitratiOn. 1t is claimed that the to-
tai number Of the caucus is 63. The
managers of the caucus here have
received a dispatch stating that
the Conservative Senators have en-
tered the Kellogg Senate. That is
considered the beginning of the end.
Lieut.. Gov. Penn this morning
called on the President, and discus.
sed the Wheeler compromise. Penn
suggested doubts as to the ability
of the Kellogg faction to carry out
their part of the compact. The
Presidents statement to Penn was
very reassuring. The President in
emphatic terms intimated that there
need be no doubt as to the action of
the Kellogg party, and left the in
ference that the Kelloggites would
be compelled to respect the compro-
mise, whatever may be their person.
