In the Senate this morning, Mr..
West, OF Louisiana, made q personal
explanation in relation TO the letter OF
Mr.. Wells, of the Louisiana Returning
Board, addressed to him, and read he
fore the House committee on Sstur-
day. He said he availed himself! Of
this opportunity to make an explana-
ton, which he was not permitted to
make before that committee. He be-
came aware Of the existence Of the
letter some time last week, through
the public press. On Saturday, when
he learned that the com mitiee had tn e
letter, he voluntarily went before the
committee, without any subpoens, and
read the letter 10 them. He could have
availed himself Of his privilege as q

contents of the letter, but he desired
that all facts in regard to Louisiana
should be known. He had not held,

The True Wife.

What do you think the beautiful
word "wife" comes from? 1t is til,
great word in which the Englisl
and Latin languages conquered the
French and Greek. l hope the
French will some day get a wore
Tor it, instead of that dreadful word
femme.
But what do you think it comes
from? The great use of Saxon
words is that they mean something.
Wife means Weaver" You must
either be house wives or house
moths; remember that. In the
deep sense, you must either weave
men s fortunes and embroider them /;
or feed upon and bring them to
decay.
Wherever q true wife comes,
home is always around her. The
stars may be over her head; the
glow-worm in the cold grass may
be the only fire at her foot at night;
but home is wherever she is, and
for noble woman it stretches far
round her, better than houses ceiled
with cedar or painted with vermil
ion, shedding Its quiet light for
those who else are homeless. This,
then, l believe to be the woman's
true place and power.

The Leaf of Life.

There's a certain curious mem
Der o. the plant family. very COM
mon in Jamaica, we are told, called
the life plant, or leaf of life, bee ause
it is almost impossible To kill the
leaves. You may cut one off and
hang it up by thread, where any
other leaf would be discouraged and
dry up. 1t will send out long,
white, thread-like roots, and set
about growing new leaves. You
may cut of half leaf and throw it
into a tight box, where it can get
neither light nor moisture (necessa-
ries of life to other plants,) and
the spirited little leaf puts out its
delicate roots all the same. Even
pressed and packed away in o bota-
nist's herbarium-the very dryest
and dullest place you ever did see,
it will keep up its work, throw
out roots and new leaves, and actu-
ally grow out of its covers. 1t is
said that botanists who want to
dry this pertinacious vegetable are
obliged to kill it with hot iron or
with boiling water.

Marriage of Widows.

1t is only by a summary like the
following that one realizes what an
awful thing it is to be widow or
widOwer.. Says Demorest's Month
ly:
at is contrary to custom to in
vite guests to the marriage of a
widow. If q widower marries a
young girl, the etiquette is the same
as that of a first marriage. A
widow must marry in the morning
early, without show, and has only
her witnesses and those of her in
tended. Her dress must be plain,
of quiet color; black, however, is
not admissible. On leaving church
the bride invites to breakfast the
witnesses who have formed the par
ty, but no other guests are invited
to this repast. On the fifteenth
day after the marriage, cards are
sent bearing the new address of the
married pair. A widow never makes
wedding calls after marrying.
Those who receive the cards do the
visiting. There is a month allowed
for the return of cards, and the
visits. When a single lady marries,
after having passed the usual age |
for marriage, the ceremony should !
be simple and unobtrusiye."

A Few Items for Mothers to
Read.

Good brandy is cure for sum.
mer complaint; in bad cases a tea
spoonful in milk three or four times
a day.
A flannel cloth wet in hot bran
dy, or better, camphor and brandy
mixed and heated, will relieve pain
of the bowels, if frequently laid ov-
er the stomach and bowels.
Bits of scraped ice are better on
the tongue than drinks of cold
water.
For stings and poisons, a strong
solution of saleratus and water i'm
mediately and frequently APP
piled gives relief and sure cure.
For burns, an immediate applica-
ton of flour, covering the bura and
wrapped so as to exclude the air:
then burn lard till it is quite brown
and apply, and relief and cure will
soon come. Do not wash off the
-four if 1t clings, but put the lard
over it.

er, q lemon squeezed in tepid water,
to sponge off the tired-out body will
give rest to both the mother and
child. Saleratus is good, but the
lemon is better. Even washing of
the little feet, neck and palms of
the hands in tepid, never very cold,
water will induce a healthful sleep.

Legal Biblical Ignorance.

During the trial of the celebrated
Leavenworth baby case, in which
two women claim the same child.
one Of the lawyers in the course of
his remarks pointed to the painting
of Solomon ordering the child to
be severed in halves and divided
between the two women. His scrip
tural knowledge being small, he al
luded to Plate instead of Solomon.
The opposing counsel, supposing
he knew all about it. instantly
jumped to his feet and called him
fool, and said that the order was
Dy Caesar and not Plate. After a
heated discussion, they agreed to
leave it to the Judge. His Honor
decided that both of the attorneys
were talking upon subject foreign
to their knowledge, and, pointing to
the painting said it was intended TO
represent Herod, and not Plate or
Caesar. The lawyers considered
the matter settled, and proceeded
with the case.-Atsinsoa kansas J

Private Entertainers.

The art of making party go off
successfully is by no means an easy
accomplishment. Some have the
happy knack of setting their guests
at ease at once, and making them
pleased both with themselves and
each other; whilst again many we'll
meaning and extremely kind heart
ed people have a habit Of putting
on an overstraining company man
ner, most unfortunate in its effect
on those whom they are anxious to
please. Guests are always Influenced
by their hostess; and if she is
not at her ease they cannot be so
either-unless as is sometimes the
case, there happens to be an ire
preside spirit amongst them who
dares to be sociable and merry,
and make others so too, in spite of
company manners and unnatural re-
straint. To be perfectly natural is
to be we'll bred; and contradictory
as it may seem, l quite believe that
a natural manner may be cultivated
just as well as an artificial one.
AfTectstion and self consciousness
are always displeasing, and, unfor
tunately, they often prevent most
estimable persons being appreci-
ated, as from their many good
qualities they deserve to be. If we
look around us and note who are
the most popular of our acquain-
tances we shall find that it is rarely
the handsomest, the cleverest, or
most accomplished, but invariably
those who have the happy talent of
being able to forget themselves.
These might be endowed with fairy
wands, so manifold are their powers
of charming. They make the silent
talk, the grave merry, and those
weighed down with sorrow put away
their grief. Such are ever welcome,
for by their ready sympathy they
can adapt to any society, and in the
art of entertaining others they are
simply perfection, for they make
their friends feel that they have
really come out to enjoy themselves,
and not merely for the sake of full
filling an irksome social duty

Heifers' Calves for Cows.

Not long since correspondent
inquired about making cows of
heifers' calves, but having seen no
answer, 1 venture to give him my
observations and experience. 1 be-
lieve it to be an established fact
with old farmers here that the "first
calf for an OK" and the ''last calf
for cow" are true sayings. Quite
young COWS develop smartness, old
cows laZiness; IN the former muscle
predominates, and in the latter Sc
cretions. Two years ago 1 had
very pretty calf from a two-year old
heifer-a perfect beauty-and in
the fall, while it was still a calf, nv
little son took it to the fair and got
a premium. This spring she had a
calf, but the boy is sadly disap
pointed-he thinks he has paid too
much for the "whistle," for she
does not give over one quart of
milk at a time. All the mersing
and mealing will not coax her to
increase her milk much. Her gran
dam was a great mixer, and that is
why saved the calf, but 1 will not
be likely to save another heifer's
calf for COW. The same year we
had a helfer calf from very old
COW; she has also calved, ana she
gives a common pail two-thirds full
every time. The milking capacity
Of The two grandams was about
alike. / have had several other
similar cases come to my knowl-
edge.

Critical Periods of Human Life.

From the age of forty to that of
sixty mun who properly regulates
himself may be considered in the
prime of lie. His matured strength
of constitution renders him almost
impervious to the attacks of dis
ease and all the functions are in
the highest order. Having gone a
year or two past sixty, however, he
arrives at a critical period of exist
ence; the river of. death flows be-
fore him, and he remains at a stand
still. But athwart this river is via
duct called Il he Turn of Life
which if crossed in safety leads to
the valley of cold Age" round
which the river winds and then
flows beyond without boat or cause
way to effect its passage. The
bridge is, however, constructed of
fragile materials, and it depends
upon how it is trodden whether it
bend or break. Govt, apploplexy,
and other bad characters, are also
in the vicinity to waylay the travel
er and TRUST him from the pass;
but let him grid up his loins, pro-
vide himself with perfect compos-
ure. To quote a metaphor, the
''turn of life" has TO turn into a pro-
lOnged walk into the grave. The
system and power having reached
their utmost expansion, now begin
either to close, like flowers at sun
set, or break down at once. One
stimulant, single fatal
excitement, may force it beyond its
whilst a careful supply of
props and the withdrawal of ali
hat tends to force plant, will sus-
Jain it in beauty and vigor until
night has partly set in.

NJ AIRY the Woman.

Some men marry dimples, some
eyes, few ears; the mouth, too, is
occasionally married; the chin not
so often. A young man once fell
head over heels and ears in love with
a braid. He was so far gone that
he became engaged to this braid but
a new mode of hair-dressing having
been adopted by his fance, the
charm was dissolved and was never
renewed. What do young men
marry? Why they marry these,
and many other bits OF scraps of a
wife, instead of the true thing.
And then after the wedding, they
are surprised to find that, although
married they have no wives. He
that would have a wife must marry

To Revive withered Flowers.

There is one thing which Nature
does not supply, and which civiliza-
ton, the Germantown Telegraph
thinks, renders quite necessary to
fowls. 1t is charcoal. But char
coal made of wood does not answer
the purpose; it has no taste of
food, is not attractive to the fowl,
and is seldom eaten. But if any
one will put an ear of ripe corn in
to the fire till the grains are well
charred, and then shell of the corn
and throw it to his flock, he will
see an eagerness developed and a
healthy condition brought about
which which will make a decided
improvement. All pale combs will
become bright red, that busy song
which precedes laying will be heard,
and the average yield of eggs will
be greatly increased.
