NEW ORLEANS, April 10.- Yesterday the
Commission had three hours secret
consultation, then received dele2ation
from the Cotton Exchange, representing
its business elements, to whom they are
reported to have said they sought Louis
lana but could not find 1t. They found
two Governors, two Superior Courts and
an alleged dual government in all de-
partments; but In fact. by the acknowl-
edpment Of all parties, there Is only one
Legislature, though 1t meets in two
halls. The moment that Legislature
meets In one body it will be the State OF
Louisiana, and while 1t is in session the
only power in the State that can secure
the Intervention OF the army. LII sell
government Is desired and the with
drawal Of the army, 1t can probably ne
secured In a day, should the pubic
opinion OF the State compel It's Leglsla-
ture to meet as one body.
There are SO of the 36 Senators and
1O4 Of the 100 Representatives whose
election Is not disputed by either party,
and the Commission urged that When
they assembled as such the Commission
could have nothing whatever to say
about its action.
The discussion continued three hours
The delegation was not inclined to &C,

Nichols must be defended as Governor
to the full extent. The commission was
in session nine hours.

A Sermon to Girl. on Cooking.

Good advice to girls and boys is al
ways abundant and, we may add, a
cheap article in the market, and perhaps
this is one reason why it is not more
frequently needed by those most in
need Of it. But here is another excel
lent piece of advice to girls, given by a
correspondent of the S. s. Times:
Cooking classes have been popular
among fashionable young ladies OF late
years. But there is no cooking class
which quite equals in its opportunity
for excellent information that which
you may find at home. Presuming that
am talking to girl who has Just left
school, 1 advise you to make use of
your leisure in taking lessons from
your mother. There is an absolute,
splendid feeling of independence in
knowing how to make perfectly light,
sweet substantial bread. Then try
your hand at biscuits, mullins, corn
bread, toast, and all the different forms
into which breadstufs may be blended.
Toast seems q simple thing enough, but
it is frequently so i'll made that it does
not deserve the name. Cruel, neces-
sity Of the sick room, is often hopeless
mystery to women who have the vaguest
idea of how it is evolved from the raw
material. After you have mastered the
bread question, try meats and vegeta-
bles. Any bright girl who can compre-
hend an equation or formulate a syllo-
gism, can overcome the difficulties
which beset her when learning to cook.
Lucent sirups, golden cake, delicately
Drowned bread, quivering jellies, melt
ing creams, and the whole set of mate
rial things glorifed, because made for
loves sake and for the good of ones
dear ones, are fit expressions for any
woman. The charm of this accomplish
ment lies in the fact that it imparts to
its owner gratifying sense of power; it
bestows on her, too, the power of bless
ing and resting those she loves best.
Wherever the cook goes she takes her
welcome along. One may tire of the
sweetest singing, of the loVeliest poetry,
Of the finest painting, and of the most
witty conversation, but of good cooking,
never. Yet I would be sorry to have
you conteniel to be only cook, only a
domestic machine. That is not my
meaning or intention. Be artist, poet,
inventor, and well-bred woman; be the
most and the best that you can, and
add, as a matter of course, ability to
keep house well and do all that good
housekeeping includes.

She never suspected it was ours, but
took IL for 4 stray, and, from motives of
humanity, called up one of the men and
ordered it to be putin the stable. When
the man went out and found that it was
our own horse, and that l was in the
wagon apparently dead and frozen stiff,
he made an Outcry that soon brought
out the household. Fortunately, my
wife had recently been reading of the
proper mode of treating persons par

joints of my fingers, toes, ankles and

vices, till the blood was ready to ooze
out from the extremities, and 1 could
scarcely persuade myself that my finger
and toe nails were not being forced off
by the pressure. l soon became delir-
ious and raging fever set in, from

A CHEERFUL WRE.-What blessing
to household is a merry, cheerful wo-
man-one whose spirits are not affected
by wet days or little disappointment
one whose milk of human kindness
does not sour in the sunshine of pros
perity. Such woman, in the darkest
hours, brightens the house like piece
of sunshiny weather. The magnetism
of her smiles, and the electrical bright
ness of her looks and movements infect
every one. The children go to school
with the sense that something great is
to be achieved; the husband goes into
the world in conqueror's spirit. No
matter how people annoy and worry
him through the day, far off her pres
ence shines, and he whispers to himself,
"At home shall find restp So day by
day she literally renews his strength
and energy.

Rapid TeIegraphIng.

A patent has been granted to Lor-
ing Pickering, one of the editors and
proprietors Of the"Evening Bulletin"
and "Morning CALL" newspapers of
San Francisco, for a method of rapid
telegraphing of the fac simile of ster-
eotyped plates: 1t is claimed that
by the process of the entire page of
3 newspaper can be transmitted by
telegraph in from fifteen to thirty
minutes, delivering q copy directly
from the instrument in such form
that it can be handed immediately to
the printers. In other words, copy
will be a substantial reproduction of
theoriginal, except that it may be
given in large sized letters if so de.
tired. The stereotype plate requires
no preparation for the purpose of
telegraphic transmission other than
the filing of all its depressions or
spaces beteen the face Of the letters
with a non-conducting substance
which may be quickly applied, the
face of-ths type being cleaned by
means of an equally simple process.
The plate thus prepared is placed up
on a cylinder revolved rapidly, so as
to present each successive letter to
the fingers attached to a travelling
frame. As the cylinder bearing the
plate revolves the former must re-
volve in a frame which gradually ad-
vances by the operation of screws,
and thus each and every line is sue
cesSiVely presented to the fingers or
magnetic points already mentioned.
Necessary circuit is opened when the
points are passing over the non-con-
Quoting surface, but as often as the
metal type presents itself to the said
fingers the circuit is closed and the
corresponding magnetic points or
pens at the receiving station makes
q record thereon in the same title as
the original delineated in q series of
fine lines, either upon chemically
prepared or ordinary paper fixed up
on a corresponding cylinder at said
receiving station.
