The Democratic House has q Gu
rious idea Of economy, viz:
To cut down expenses $4,000, 600
one year, and bring in a Deficiency
Appropriation bill for Sl0,000,0 GOO at
the next session. It may not be
very clear to the natural carnal man
where the saving comes in here; bat
he doesn't reflect that the people to
whom the government owes this sum
of Sic, 600 900 lose a years interest

must gain, else now could it be

what Fields Election Means.

The selection of the rebel General
Field by the Democratic House is
fair notice that the former condition
Of things, which did more to disturb
the peace and prosperity of the coun-
try than anything else, is to be re-
stored-the complete subsection OF
the Democrats of the north to the
slaveholding element of the south,
a surrender of all manliness and in
dependence to 40 sristoeratic class
which is prepared to demand entire
control of national affairs as it did
before the war.

is as easy as Abe to go in and win.
The plan is simply refreshing and
infallible, a0d is summed up in the
following terse confession OF faith and
accompanying commentaries I'VE

Practical mothers learn much Of
their experience with the little bodies
intrusted 10 their care. Some of the
most common sense facts in the physi-
cal culture Of these little ones known
to the more experienced mothers may
not come smiss to those who have had
but little care Of children. The foun.
dations must be well laid to insure
healthy and happy children. The
child must be well nursed, well aired,
well fed and well bathcd. BY a thor
oueh understanding and practice Of
these four simple rules, much Of the
physical, mental and moral suffering
in life would be avoided by parent a.
well as child. fla healthy child
(and delicate one proportionately)
is regularly put to bed about dark, in
a quiet, well.ventilated. or even cold
room. after supper Of plain food, II
will naturally awake at daybreak,
good natured, with a keen appetite
fr a wholesome breakfast. Nutri.
tious, plain food, at regular hours,
with no candy or stimulants, and free
bathing. help the system to ward of
many prevalent children's ailments,
and to bear with much less danger the
few that must necessarily come to the
majority of little ones. The child
that Is just given little confectione.
ry, or any unsuitable food, and then
rocked to sleep, should cause no sur.
prise at waking peevish and feverish.
II is simply the result Of imaginary
affection and want Of knowledge on
the part Of the one in charge. II will
certainly pay in the end to search dill.
igently for the cause when a little
child is proverbially cross.

Wildly he asked himself these ques.
tigns while on the way to bis hotel;
and by the time he had arrived there
he had resolved that he would At least
see Nellie and have an explanation
with her. Once more he turned his
steps toward the well.known house
where he had spent the happiest hours
Of his life; once more he was ushered
into the familiar room, where even
the pictures on the walls seemed to
smile on him in friendly recognition.
Bronzed by travel, the old family SER
want failed to remember him. so he
gave no name, merely requesting to
see Miss Pomeroy.
Nellie soon appeared; but hardly
had she crossed the threshold when
the eyes Of love recognized him, and
with wild scream Of Guy, dear
GUY she was folded TO his heart.
Long explanations followed. Nellie
told of the loss Of her locket on the
day of Guys last visit, and how she
had regretted ii, being his gift. She
also told Of the dying confession Of
Fred Acton, and his restoration Of her
locket, which she showed him, worn
on a blue ribbon about her neck.
Guy, penitent hut loving, was fully
forgiven by his deeply wronged Nellie,
who, 10 the joy Of such reunion, had
no heart to blame him.
Soon after there was a grand we'd
ding in the stately mansion; and, al
though the fair brides ornaments were
milk.white pearls, there hung suspen.
del from the Genital cluster Of her
necklace. tiny locket, hearing on il

The feeding Of animals in .nensg-
erie is always carefully done, because
their lives depend on the adapiability
Of their food. The Philadelphia Times
says that the daintiest eaters in the
Geological Garden are two Chin
panzees. They breakfast on weak
tea, with plenty of milk and sugar,
and bread thickly spread with honey.
They lunch at 10 o'clock on bananas
and oranges. dine at 3 on rice or tapi-
oca, served with sugar and sherry, and
sup at Z on rice and milk. The seals
are less troublesome to feed, but more
expensive, for FIVE Of them eat daily
eighty pounds Of fresh fish. Former
ly the lions, tigers, and other carniv'
ora were costly, but of late they have
been ted ON horse meat, which is very
cheap. The bufialoes, deer, and Gle
plants live now on the grass in the
grounds. The rhinoceros is the greed
lest Of the lot; but it is quantity that
he Graves, without much regard Il
quality. He will eat $50 pounds Of
hay every day, and bushelof pota
toes is to HIM like a plate of strawber'
ries to hungry man. His food costs
$40 week, which is as much as that
of an elephant. The giraffe has to be
fed carefully, because he has no regard
for his long, narrow throat, and starts
one mouthfnl down before the one he.
fore it has reached his stomach, thus
choking himself. Common monkeys
eat nearly every thing that is offered;
so do the ostriches and cassowaries,
but some Of the insectiyorous have TO
he patiently catered to. The moose
is hardest to please, and. misses the
twigs of his native woods.

Its effects are as wonderful and rs
