Sad Effect of E1ira.ses.lon Rumorx.

The wild rumOrs OF an extra session
have deeply narrowed the soul of the average De-
partment clerk. Hitherto it has been his CUSTOM
after the adjournment, to move down from the
mansard 10 the second floor of the fashionable
boarding house and revel in buH marguerite and

occupied by sage Senators. With the question of
an extra session pending, the landlady has stiff
ened her upper lip, hardened her heart, and holds

The material of snme of those remark.

The material of some of those remarka-
pe structures called vitried forts found in France
and other countries of Europe has been examined
by NJ. Daubree. He does not think that the same
plan of making them was invariably pursued, but
he is inclined to believe that the fire was applied
within the walls, SO as 10 secure natural draught
which may also have been assisted by current OF
forced air. To vitrify walls 50 thick as those OF
these forts the heat must have been intense.

THE ART OF COOKING.
What American Girls are Deficient In
How They Should be Instructed.

"What shall we eat, and what shall we
drink, and wherewithal shall we be clothed?"
are the questions that fill with anxious care the
minds of American hoasekeepers The French
nation seems to have solved the problem more sat.
sfactoFily. In matters of dress their modiSes give
fashions to the civilized world, and the French
cuisine satisfies epcurian tastes, and is even ac-
cepted, with few national growls, by John Bull.
American ladies acquire the arts of the toilette
with wonderful facility, as compared with our
English sisters, who are called "dowdy,' and a
costume that rivals Worth can be procured in
New York. But i'll the preparation of food We
have still much to learn. Monsieur Blot "a
Frenchman) gave lessons in cookery in our large
cities few years ago. which reused the public
mind to q sense of our ignorance and extrara-
gance. He illustrated his lectures, and with a
small pan of charcoal and few materials he
would
PREPARE A DAINTY DISH
fit to set before king. 1t seemed so like necro-
NANCY it rather discouraged the average house
keeper Since then Miss Carson has given prac-
teal lectures upon cooking. The class in st.
Marks Place, New York, is fashionable resort,
and young ladies give lunch parties, where the
delicate dishes are prepared by their fair hands.
In Boston it is the fashion for the ladies to un
derstand not only Latin and Greek, but the mys-
teries of the cuisine. The wave of progress has
hardly reached Washington, so that the cooking
school at the corner of Thirteenth and streets
(opposite the late abode of President Garfed),
which was established by public-spirited ladies,
has failed to attract pupils What be the reason?
We think because it is not generally known, and
no special attention has been called to it.
AT HUNDREDS OF BOARDING HOUSES
and private homes, breakfasts and dinners are un-
satisfactory not from fault in the bill of fare but
from poor cooking-heavy or sour bread. green
looking biscuit, watery potatoes, and SOUP &c,
spoil digestion and appetite Cooking is one OF the
fine arts, and the knowledge of its chemical laws
will do more to increase the happiness of family
than the study Of German and q knowledge of
classical music. Not that we undervalue these ac-
complishments, but the ornamental parts of a
building should rest upon sure foundation, and
good bread is an essential of human life. At Bal
moral the Queen of Engiand's daughters had
kitchen Of their own, where they became accom-
plished hOusekeepers, and they gave family enter
tainments where the dainty dishes were prepared
by royal hands VIII not Our American girls follow

Gently compared notes on the dates Of

riages, and by watching and taking exam

paid to astrological principles, as laid down
by Ptolmy and other writer's upon the
science, much Of the matrimonial unhap-
piness and its often frightful consequences
witnessed In the world might be avoided.
People never agree in marriage whose hor-
oscopes are antagonistic; and among the
Hindoos and some other nations, even to
this day, the astrologer il consulted to de-
termine whether there is a complete sym
pathy between the positions Of the sun
moon, Venus and Mars in the respective
nativities, and II their relative positions
are not found to agree, then the projected
match is broken of. Astronomy alone ex-
plains those otherwise ~unaccountable likes

Letter.

Extracts from . Kokomo, Col,
Letter.
Captain Foley, Of Secret Canyon, has
been importuned by several old friends Of
his, now in Colorado, to visit that State
and interest himself to search for mineral
there. They, one and all, agree that the
Colorado mineral country is one Of easy
study when put in comparison with Ne
Lvada, and they appear to go much ON the
tNapteas ;.1gment If be would only take
a fun over their hills. In answer to q let
ter Of inquiry sent by the Captain to Dan
Waugh the following extracts were received,
coupled with a gossipy letter on local
topics:
KoKoMo, Col, Dec. %, 1880.
FRIEND F-: In regard to the forma-
ton Of the country, it is granite OF o
soft character, but called by the tender
feet porphyry; the latter l have not seen
in this State. There is also q red said
stone, which is the country rock. The ore
bodies run in a northerly and southerly
direction and dip to the east, as in Eureka.
There are many prospectors here who go
on the blind, but men Of experience hunt
for iron stains or streaks in the formation,
and are in most cases successful. Miner
allied lime is always found near ore bodies;
generally forming the foot-wall. Blue
slate is always found over ore bodies in all
that / have seen. Your humble servant
found ore from those stains n foot from
the surface, and it looks very promising
for three feet in depth. Time will tell
what lies below.
As for wood, it is found in any quantity,
and water the same. In fact there is al
most too much Of the latter.
The best time to come here would de-
pend on the business a person would
choose to follow; for prospecting, the lat
Of April is good.
Miners wages from So to 81 per day
carpenters 81; teamstars, ETC., etc., from
$65 to $50 per month. Contracting in
mining from $40 to $25 per foot.
In regard to fare and route to come
here-At Palisade you would have to pro-
cure a second-class ticket'to Council Bluffs,
by the Central Pacific and Union Pacific
to Cheyenne, cost $50. so; from Cheyenne
to Denver 81; from Denver to Leadville.
SIS and from the latter place to Kokomo,
Is miles by rail, 50, costing for fare from
Palisade to Kokomo, Colorado. $74.50.
We have about three feet Of snow and as
pleasant weather as q person could wish;
beautiful, sunny days. The country is not
as cold as l was led to believe.
Mining is going on as brisk as usual.
and from all appearances Eastern capital
is stuck after Colorado. Nothing can turn
it any other way for the simple reason that
ore is struck near the surface, and that is
what the Eastern man likes to see. No
matter whether it is rich or poor. he wants
to see something that looks like silver.
Galena will suit him as well often times,
for the majority think it is silver all the
same. In your letter you hit it right in
regard TO the ores found in this country
they are generally galena. carrying iron.
pyrites, anthony, arsenic and some zinc.
