There is sneaking impression abroad
are not particularly sorry when they find
an excuse to dine at restaurant instead Of
at home, and the husbands of these same
ladies have occasionally been known to
remark that the home appetites of their
wives and children are very different from
those they display during any little jaunt
away from home. 1t would be creditable
to the home table if these impressions
were founded only on the zest which
change gives to hunger, but it is more than
likely that the real cause may be found in
the family kitchen. There are thousands
of New York homes in which the uphol-
stery and decoration are elegant and salts
flying, but when the dining table is reached
sense Of ineficiency dawns upon the
mind of the beholder. The blame cannot
be laid upon small means or poorly
supplied markets, for good meals cost
no more than poor ones, and the
markets of New York are unequalled
for variety and quality Of food. But while
the restaurateur always has cook and
KNOWS tQaC the SUCCESS u JIG DuS1ueSb &c.
ponds upon the cooks ability the meals
for household are generally prepared by
a person who does most of the mental work
Of the family and who has never had any
intelligent training in the business of pre-
pairing food. A family with such cook is
fortunate if it gets even q small round Of
palatable dishes. There seems no alterna-
tive but for householders themselves to re-
sumo some of the responsibilities which of
late years they have been resigning and either
have their domestics trained in the admir-
able cooking school, which was organ
lied in this city several years ago or to in
struct them themselves. Nowhere but in
the large cities of the United States is the
art of cooking confined to menials alone.
It is an art which many rich women and
famous men are proud to have mastered.
and certainly there is no other so impor-
tant in its influence upon human life,
health and comfort.

The October Elections.

Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Ne
braska. Ohio and West Virginia hold cleo
tions during the present month of October.
OF these States Georgia, Indiana, Ohio and
West Virginia are democratic; Iowa and
Nebraska are republican, and Colorado IS
claimed by the republicans.
1t is not too much to say that, except
Georgia, Iowa and West Virginia, all the
October States are this year doubtful. The
Ohio they will. of course, carry Iowa; and
they have q reasonable chance of Indiana.
But the result is uncertain everywhere, and
it is awaited by the politicians of all
parties with the most lively interest,
because there is general and we
believe correct impression that the
October elections will this year very largely
influence the result of the November cleo
tons to follow. The puzzle of the political
year is how strong the greenback vote will
be, and how much it will draw away from
each Of the old parties. If the greenback-
ers poll the dissatisfied vote pretty gener-
ally they can hardly fail to carry a good
many Congressional districts. But if they
draw to themselves only or mainly the
greenbackers proper they will poll but
small vote in the aggregate, and the princi-
pal effect Of their movement will be to de-
feat here and there the calculations of the
regular politicians and give democratic dis
tricts to republicans or republican districts
to the democrats. The result in Maine
showed that there was there a widespread
dissatisfaction with both parties. What pol
iticians are new anxious to know is, whether
this feeling extends to other States and is
so general as to produce positive results.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1878-10-01

are no longer any contested questions be-
tween the two parties. The outgoing adj
ministration has period of four months to
close up its business without interference,
and the incoming administration has the
same interval for preparation. The new
Cabinet can be deliberately selected, and
the power passes smoothly into new hands
at date fixed by law. In this respect at
least the American constitution has an ad-
vantage over that of the Dominion.
Another question which is now debated
in Canada with no small heat and acrimony
relates to the power of appointment in the
interim between the election and the
transfer of power. In our government such
controversies and the heart-burnings they
occasion do not arise. It is conceded Cor
at least has been since the last appointments
of President Adams in the first year of this
century, that the President is as free to fill
all vacancies after the election of his sue
cessor as he would have been had he been
reelected. This admitted power has some
times, though rarely, been abused to create
vacancies for the purpose Of filling them,
Uut puUllC OplulOu dlWuyS CouucuAS
such a proceeding. President Fillmore
once did something akin to this, although
not quite this. He wished before his retire
ment to provide for Postmaster General
Hall, particular friend, and the mission
to Mexico happening to fall vacant ne
offered it to Judge Conkling, the father Of
the present Senator, and thus created an
opportunity to give life position on the
bench to Mr.. Hall, who made an excellent
and respected district judge. AS general
rule retiring President fills all vacancies
without scheming to create any. and public
opinion sanctions this constitutional prac-
tice. In this respect, too, our system is
better than that Of the Dominion, as lead
ing to u more easy, quiet and orderly trans
fer of power and supplying less fuel to ex-
element on change of administration.
Lord Dufferin will not regard what we have
here said as a casting of Sleeps eyes, but
as an open and, we trust rational criti-
ciSm.

The Little Boy that Died.


The late DIR. Chalmers is said to have
been the author. of the following bcauti-
full lines. written on the occasion OF the
death OF q young son who was greatly
loved:
l am all alone in my chamber now,
And the midnight hour is near.
And the fagors crack, and the cocks
dull tick
Are the only sounds hear.
And over my soul in its solitude
Sweet feelings of adness glide:
For my heart and my eyes are full when
think
or the little boy that died.
/ went one night to my father house.
Went home 10 the dear ones all,
And softly opened the garden gate,
And softly the door Of the hall.
My mother came out to meet her son
She kissed me. and then she sighed;
And her head fell on my neck and she
wept
For the little boy that died.
l shall miss him when the flowers come
In the garden where he played;
l shall miss him more by the firesidc,
When the flowers are all decayed;
l shall see his toys and hi 5 empty chair,
And the horse he used to ride,
And they will speak with silent speech,
or the little boy that died.
We shall go home to our Fathers house,
To our Fathers house in the skies,
Where the hope OF the soul shall have
no blight,
Our love no broken ties;
We shall roam on the banks OF the ri
yer Of peace,
And battle in its blissful tide;
And one of the joys of that life shall be,
The little boy that died.
Eg Corncr-loafers arc now called
time-killers.
When is love like ba,,le?-
When it comes to an engagement.
