NEW METHOD OF KEEPING YEAST
The way to have good bread every time is,
pare and boil as many nice white potatoes
as your number Of loaves. Make your
sponge in the usual manner, over night
in the morning take as many large spoons
fuls as you wish to make loayes for the
next baking. Put in close can or bottle
and cover with strong hop water, cold, a
little salt, and pinch of ginger. This will
keep fresh and nice for the next baking, and
is much better than making large quanti-
ty of yeast. e.t..e

Congressional Directory.

We have copy of the first edition Of the Congressional Directory of the first session of the forty fourth Congress. In addition to large details of information concerning Congress, and connected offices and officers, the Directory con tainS, as usual, short sketches of the re spective senators, representatives and delegates from the different States and Territories. As an item of interest we append the sketch relative to Hon. Hiram $. Stevens, our present dele gate in Congress. The Directory says:
 II. $. Stevens, of Tucson, was born al Weston, Vermont, in 1S32; received a common-schOol education there; re- moved to New Mexico in 1851, and in 1856 located in that part of New Mex ico now known as Arizona; was mem Der of the Territorial Legislature of Arizona 1S6S-'73, and was elected to the Forty-Fourth Congress as an in candidate, receiving 1,442 votes against 1 ,O76 votes for C. C. Bean, and 63S votes for John Smith.

TIE Philadphia Ledger Almanac for 1876, comes to Us with its usual neat ness of execution and fullncss of detail, as does also the annual almanac of The New York World. These altman acs are very handy wade mecums, Latin, no additional charge,) and we should feel lost without them. While they are destitute of those old fashioned but re- liable pronOsticaiions in regard to the weather. they more than compensate by their compact and full political statis- ties and general information. They are a pamphlet cyclopedia on certain sub jects, and as they make their yearly visit and after beng glanced over, are hung up for future handy reference, il is doubtful if many think of the vast amount of work and compilation de- manded in their yearly publication And yet these little trifles, that are so little noticed, are one of the index points of the energy, enterprise and thorough labor of the day and genera tiOn

Education i'm New Mexico.

The New Mexican, of January 9, contains a review of educational mat ters, centering in the defeat in the late Territorial Legislature, of MT ArmijO's inOn-sectarIan school bill. From the first intimatiOn of the introduction of this bill and the immediate and strong opposition which it cHlled forth, our wishes for its success were enlisted. And from what We could learn of it's prospects, judging by the statements and tone of the New Mexico press, we were quite confident of the success of the measure. There was hardly a news paper in New Mexico but what favor ed, or strongly advocated the passage of this bill. Still with all our hopes, the bill was defeated, and to show some of the means used in it's defeat and to give some intimation of the mOdus operandi, we quote below largely from The New Mexican's article.
 It is very encouraging to contem- plate that in the Territory of New Mex leo, with every thing to contend against, with the sodden hold of years on years of superstition and ignorance fastening the people down, almost the first or ganized effort for the establishment of the public school system proved a sue cess, as far as gaining the support of a majority of the legislators, and had it not been for the most thorough and determined opposition of certain class, would have become a success in law. The contest is not over. It is only be gun. The men who have now taken hold of the educational destinies of New Mexico, are of the kind that never know when they are beaten, and never are beaten.
 The New Mexican, in the interesting article referred to, says:
 About fifteen years ago a public law, enacted by the Legislative Assembly of New Mexico and submitted Co vote of the people, was voted down by a nearly unanimous vote A very lm- perfect public school law was enacted by the Legislative Assembly of 1S11-2. and has since generally, been in force, but, with a few honorable exceptions, teaching but little more than the RO- man catechism. The necessity for an efficient school law, one under winch the taxpayers might be able to discov- CT some return for their money-a law in harmony with and bulwark 10 the spirit and genius of our free republican Ins,uli1ns had become apparent to all who were not blinded by scctarian fanaticism. Upon the assembling of the 22I Legislative Assembly, the in tcllIgcnt, the liberal minded and the. progressive element of that body con ceded the necessity for suCh a law, and not only expressed themselves favor ably tO SUch measure but likewise that 1t should he strictly non-sectarian in character. \ bill was accordingly carefully prepared, at the instance of Hon. Jacinto ArmjO, and submitted to and approved by not only the friends of liberal non -scCtarian schools, m the

Arise, for the day is passing

Arise, for the day is passing
 While you lie d-eaming on; Your brothers are cased in armor
 And forth to the fight are gone; Your place in the ranks awaits you
 Each man has a part to play; The past and the future are nothing
 In the face Of the stern to-day. Arise from dream Of the future
 Ofgaining a hard-fought field, or storming the airy fortress,
 Of bidding the giant to yield; Your future has deeds of glory, Ofhonor God grant it may); But your arm will never be stronger.
 Or needed as now-to-day. Arisel ifthe past detain you,
 The sunshine and storms forget; No chains so unworthy to hold you
 As those of a vain regret. Sad or bright she is lifeleSs ever;
 Cast her phantom arms away, Nor look back. save to learn the lesson Or a nobler strife to-day. Arise, for the hour is passing;
 The sound that you dimly hear Is your enemy marching to battle
 Risei riseifOr the foe is near! Stay not Co brighten your weapons,
 Or the hours will strike at last, md from dreams of cornfpo boftIa
 You will waken and find it past.

Legislature, including at last two of . the members, we regret tO record who subsequently, voted against the bill, but
 was also submitted ln ai;,i approved by the Governor, the Secretary and Attor-
 ney General and other persons fex- ]. perlence in the practical operation Of
 the school laws of several of the States
 The bill was finally introduced, and aS We have heretofore noted at length,
 passed the COunci by vote of nine
 to four, but was defeated in the House,
 with the nOn-Sectarian section strick- en out, by vote of fourteen tO ten, two members being absent and not voting; one of the latter certain, some claim that both, would have voted for the bill had they been present In any event there was clear majority of one, in- cluding the members of both houses in favor of the bill. It is due tO say that these same members would have voted for the bill with the nOn-Sectarian clause included. The friends had hoped to save the balance of the bill by reason Ot the amendment. This much we re- cord as due to history and as showing the growth of spirit of liberal pro greSslOn among the representative men and the people of New Mexico; as showing the friends of liberal secular education, that while the measure which constitutes the first principle of q free and wise government has been defeated for the time, it Is not worth while for them to bc discouraged SD long as they constitute sJ respectable q minority, il indeed they do not already constitute q majority of the voters of the Territory.
 The opposition was led by Senor Jesuit GaSparri, who was telegrdphed and left Las Vegas for Santa Fe on the first coach after the bill had been in troduced, assisted by one or more SycO- phantic lleutenantS. It k safe to say that all the appliances Ofhis order were resOrted to, tO defeat the school bill, and thereby tO keep the poor people bound down under the iron heel of ignorance, compromised manhood and slavery of soul. It is subject of com mon repute, that through the audacity and impertinence of this lobbyist, a man who Is not citizen of the United 1t'AtN' sAiANt ltONNA NA fONtH " bNf tiat hA- teen Of the members of the Legislative Assembly, in a moment of simplicity or weakness pledged themselves tO vote against the bill. It has been charged in the press of the ISrritOry and other wise and never denied, that they pledg- ed themselves in writing. This, we have reason to believe is stating the case mildly; but it Is sufficient for our purpose. One of the members who voted against the bull, but who at first declared his purpose To support It, gave as a reason that if he did not vote against the bill his neighbors and friends un- der designing influences would stone and possibly kill him. Another one who voted against it assigned as req son, "if tnat bill passed. in a few years there would be no herders."

 But we must stop without touching upon the careful and exact method of issuing rations-being present at one issue and noting the good order and temper of the several tribes and many bands Ofthe immense amount of adobes the Indians have made and are mak- ing, and of the mortar being mixed and attendance they give to masons; of the substantial and extensive store and oth- CT necessary rooms including a fine dispensary; of the way the agency grounds are policed; of the old ditch dug at large expense before Agent Cum took charge; of the new one surveyed which will come from the San Carlos, cross the agency mesa, make a most excellent mill power and after words Irrigate hundreds of acres of rich

Al meeting of merchants, in San Francisco, held in the chamber of con- merce on February 3, an effort was made to come to some mutual under standing. as to whether gold basis should be adhered tO in the sales of merchandise, or whether silver should be accepted in whole or part payment of bills.
 The question was finally referred to a committee Of seven, representing the different departments of trade, with instructions to report at meeting ;n be held at two o'clock p. m. on the 5ti' instant. A general conviction exists that the increase of silver Is so great, that the discount must increase unless some outlet can be found for it-
