The Prevailing Distress In Manchester

MANCHESTER, Dec. 22.-Great distress exists
among the poorer classes in Manchester and
Salford. thousands being out of employment

who have trades are working at different odd
Jobs for mere pittanca. glad to obtain work of
any description IN order TO supply themselves
and children with food. Plasterers. skaters.

generally are among the sufferers. The ex-
treme ssveri y OF the weather for the past few
weeks has naturally tended to still further ag-
gravate and extend the distress. 1t is observed
by tho relieving officers that tho sufferers kept
away from the charitable relieving Offices
Some Of them are selling their goods down

Tho number of abe-bodied applicants for
relief. consisting almost entirely Of unem-
ployed workiDgmen. is daily on the increase.
Continued frost Is telling severely on these un-
fortunates It Is n significant fact that during
one week there were thirty one deaths In u
single borough from lung disease alone This
unusually heavy mortality may perhaps be ac-
counted for to some extent by low temperature
but there can be little doubt that 1t points to
poverty to exposure and privation. Not only
are the work houses crowded, but at the hos pi-
tails there are q larger number OF cases than has
been known before. Advices from scotland
Wales and different parts Of Eogland state that
the distress is greater than has been known
before.

THE HOUSEHOLD.

1t has all along been our intention to revive
this feature Of the Monday DEMOCRAT. discOn-
tnued during the epidemic; yet 1t is extremely
gratifying to US to know that moro than one Of
the readers ofthis column have grown i'm pate mt
at our tardiness. In reviving 1t the editor de-
sires to say that. while his work has not been
unappreciated the design Of 1t has not been
thoroughly understood. nor has he received
that assistance from his lady readers which Is
necessary to make the column success.
As heretofore. we invite inquiries in regard
to the preparation of dishes and upon all other
subjects connected with household matters
and when we possess the desired information
1t will always be- given. But there have been
numbers of recipes asked Of us that We could
not give, and which no one but Louisiana
housewife could supply. Will not our lady
friends. particularly those vcrsed In the rich
and savory cuisine peculiar to the creoles OF
louisiana come to our assistance in the
future?
The design of this column. however. does not
conane us to the kitchen and the dining
room. Sometimes we like a diversion to the
library or the parlor Our purpose is to afford
a ,nelange of useful information and pleasant
chat; and whatever tends to make the house
hold and home life attractive, or to lend new
grace to genial hospitality will find its appro-
