TOlerably PROSPEROUS.
From the New York Sun.

I We are now. as a nation. out Of bebt, we
are owners Of our productive machinery,
and our surplus earnings are nearly if not
quite enough to NEE t all the demands for
additions to it. We pay in taxes to the
general government hundred millions of
dollars year more than the government
returns us to in its expenditures; we are
building, mostly out Of cur own resources,
new railroads by the thousands Of miles;
the new buildings put up in New York city
alone during the past year absorbed nearly
fifty millions of dollars, and q similar
building activity has prevailed more or less
ell over; the deposits in our savings banks
increase by tens if not hundreds Of millione
annually; the western farmers, who used to
pay ton per cent. per annum for money on
bond and mortgage, are now either out OF
debt altogether. or borrow Of their neigh
bors at six per cent. and so abundant has
capital become that lenders, as q rule,
are content with five per cent. for long
loans on good security where they used to
get seven, and four per cent where they
used to get SIX.

Sandwich islanders In Swimming:
From the San Francisco Chronicle,

FTOm the Sa0 FRANCISCO Chronicle.
Our guide had arranged for an exhibition
OF the swimming powers Of tho natives. and
upon our arrival we found several men on
the side of the fall where we took our stand,
while upon the other stood six or seven
dusky maidens. The water tumbles over
series of natural bridges commencing high
up in the mountain range. The main fall
is sheet about twenty yards wide, and
with other smaller streams falls into cir
cirlar basin beneath at the debth
Of at least 100 feet. A series of
rude declivities have been cut
by the natives to depth of sixty or seven
ty feet. to enable visitors to witness their
watery gambols. Our party was perfectly
astonlshed at the way in which
these Kanakas disported themselves in
the water. Divested of all clothing, both
men and women would dive into the basin
or pool to depth Of thirty or forty feet.
coin thrown into water would be brought
up with the greatest rapidity. Some of
the girls took upa position on a rock
which. to Judge by eye measurement, was
at least sixty feet high, and jumped into
the basin with their bodies in a rigid posi-
ton. Others again assembled to the top of
the fall and came down with the water IN
its descent. No small wonder, indeed,
that the Kanakas are able to conquer the
sharks, which they do by getting under
their belly and ripping it open.

Recipes.

WHEATEN GEMs.-One egg. one cup of
sweet milk, three cups of -four, one even
tablespoon of butter, or two of cream, two
teaspoons of baking powder; bake in gem
pans in a hot oven, filling the pans one
third full. Have pans hot and we'll but
tered when the batter is put on. Water
may be used in the place of milk, and the
egg may be omitted. Very nice.
COTTAGE PIE.-Mince any kind Of cold
meat together (beef, mutton, veal, pork, or
lamb) put it about an inch or an inch and
u half deep in pie dish, and cover it with
gravy; do not spare salt and pepper; cover
it over with mashed potatoes, smooth at
the top, and cut it across in diamonds with
knife; bake till it is crisp and brown at
the top. A little Worcester sauce may be
considered an improvement if onions are
not objected to.
CHEAP BEEF SoUP.-Cut into bits three
quarters of pound of lean beef, put Into
a kettle with gallon of water; bring to a
boil; add half cup Of washed rice, car
rot, turnip, two or three stalks of celery,
(an minced), and little parsley and onion
if liked. Season with pepper and salt and
two or three whole cloves; boil very gently
two hours. Add water to increase the soup
to its original quantity.
BAKED Po1AToEs.-Baked potatoes are
best, Us every cook knows, when served
the moment they are done. It . delay is
unavoidable, wrap the potatoes closely in a
cloth, the moment they are done, and keep
in warm place. They will be found al
most as nice as ii eaten at once.

The Serving Maid.
From the Philadelphia Press.

A most important character in the COM
position OF most novels is the serving maid.
She is master of dialect, whether Dutch.
Yankee or Hibernian; her witticisms, un-
conscious or deep laid; her faithfulness to
the children in their mischief, or the heads
of the house in their trouble, and her USE
fulness in her station, make her position one
to be envied. Nor is the picture Of this
tene6cent being necessarily an exaggera-
ton.
Real life until lately furnished the basis
for them. Such angels exist and not I'M
awafes. Every one can recall some visit to
house either in city or country, where
Bridget or Mary Jane occupied place of
honor. She was cook and maid of all work,
she had been in the family for generation,
fhe was capitalist in small way, had
snug sum laid up against rainy day, about
which she had frequent consultations with
her master, she was comfortably housed, Oh
Sundays went to morning service more gor-
geously arrayed than the queen of Sheba,
had time for reading or mild gossip with
her fellows, could shelter her nieces or her
nieces' children, and in fact was q mighty
power for good to her whole neighbor-
hood.
Changed is the thingin most househoulds
to-day. A new @girl" every week or two,
untid =, s!atternly, wastesal. false: lying,
thieving, determined to do the least work
for the highest wages, breaking dishes
reck1essly, feeding her poor relations sur
reptitiously, taking advantage of domestic
crises to seek green fields and pastures
new, and causing weary housewives to wish
they had never been born. The picture is
dark and doleful, but none the less true.
Why should capable American girls who
could earn good wages, be treated decently,
live respectfully and be worth something,
choose to stand all day in heated stores, or
slave in mills, when, by looking realities
square in the face-for instance. becoming
cooks or second girls in respectable fam
iies-they might be more useful to the
world, live happier lives, and run much less
chance OF shipwreck?
One or two girls who sincerely desired to
do this could scarcely turn the tide in favor
of this much neglected occupation, but if
several hundred should unite to bring it
about places would be found for every one;
for no walk in life is so glaringly under
filed, or Il led with such disreputable char
acters. Would not this be worth trying?
Decent families would welcome such a
change. and the influx of good blood would
soon raise servant girlisn to respecta-
bility.

The Place Where Garfield Died.
Philadelphia Press.

1t has now been some months since
the thirty eight states were anxiously
watching at the death-bed of the mar
tyred president, and public interest is
no longer centered upon the spot
where he breathed his last. Franck-
Ign college is not changed in its APP
pearance since that time, but yet how
changed are its surrounding scenesl
1t stands cut against the edge of the
bluff, deserted and alone. The Ameri
can flag is no longer seen floating from
the gable; no soldiers now guard the
sanctity of its portals; the tenths of the
troopers have disappeared from the
lawn, and nothing now remains to
mark the place as an historic spot.
The place mas been rented to George
l.. Harrison, of Philadelphia, and is
now being put in readiness for occu-
pancy. On the railing of the upper
veranda, but few feet from the room
where Garfield suffered and died, bed
ding and mattresses are placed To air
in sunlight. Servants are scrubbing
and cleaning windows and piazzas, and
the place presents an appearance that
Is rot at all suggestive of a dying presi-
dent and mourning nation. The
room which was occupied by the pres
ident is draped in mourning, the bed
stead being festooned with Grape. 1t
is the intention of the owner of the
premises to always keep this room
closed and draped.
