found her advice advantageous sTo
return TO our rich celibates, it may be
said that the Chemical Bank was once
considered sort of bachelors hall,
since its stockholders, directors and
president included rare sort of opulent
ceiibates. Peter Goelet was one of its
directors; James Lenox and Alexander
Stuart were leading stockholders, while
its President, John Q. Jones, was also
bachelor. The latter was the best
looking of the whole number, and to a
noble form added an open an attrac-
tive countenance. He was an admira-
BILE business man, and left an estate
estimated at S2,000,0o0 II was GER
tainly a remarkable feature in the
Chemical that it should contain 50 large
number of bachelors, but such is no
longer the case, since each of these has
passed from earthly scenes. Some
families have peculiar tendency to-
wards celibacy, as for instance the
| Alexanders of Princeton, William the
eldest brother, who became President of
the Equitable Life Insurance Company
died bachelor of three score and ten.
Addison Alexander, the Princeton Pro-
| fessor, followed the same example, and
so did a younger brother. Only two,
indeed, of Archibald Alexander's five
children married. Celibacy is an occa-
sional feature in journalism since Will
liam II. Hurlburt, formerly of the
World, and James Gordon Bennett OF
the Herald, remain in this condition.
How much happier and more useful
both would be were they married men,
and in this respect Whiteaw Reid set
them good though late example,

ToadstOOl Robbed of its Terrors.

The mushroom is favorite but sus-
pected article of food. The choice va
rieties are artificially propagated for the
city market, and the danger to which
consumers are exposed of being sup
piled with the poisonous varieties is very
small But in the country, where, after
winter rain, every family can gather
its own supply of mushrooms, the fail
ure to distinguish the edible varieties
from the poisonous ones-commonly
called toadstools-is the cause of quite
a mortality, insomuch as many people
entertain a deep-seated but unjust preiu-
dice against the whole mushroom
tribe. 1t is not labor of much diff
Guilty to learn to tell the edible mush-
room from the noXious toadstool, but
too many neglect to learn and rue the
consequences. Indeed, there is a famil-
lar joke, of which the point is that the
only way to tell the difference between
mushroom and toadstool is to eat it,
when if you die it is toadstool, and if
you live, mushroom. There would
have been no occasion for this wit if it
had been known to everybody that toad
stools can be prepared in such a way as
to be as wholesome as other kinds of
Mushrooms. This secret is said to have
been known to the ancients in the time
of Pliny, but was afterward lost sight
of. In fact, for 800 years the eating
of toadstools was one of the lost arts,
but twenty or thirty years ago it was
re-discOvered, and famous French

some, - ate lbs pounds Of the most
poisonous mushrooms he could find
not all in one meal, but in the course of
a month. He also fed his family upon
them, and administered large doses to a
committee of investigation appointed by
the authorities of the city of Paris. None
of these persons died from the effects,
| and hence it must be admitted that the
rule already mentioned for distinguish
| ing between toadstools and mushrooms
| is not infallible. But how is the toad
stool prepared so as to be robbed of its
poisonous qualitiesP The process is
very simple. The suspected fungi are
| to be soaked two hours in either aeidu-
lated or salt water; if in the former,
| there must be two or three spOonfuls Of
| vinegar to the quart Of water; if the
latter, two spoonfuls of gray salt; and
quart of water is enough for a pound
of sliced mushrooms After this soak
ing they are well washed in fresh wa
ter and thrown into cold water, which
is raised TO the boiling point, and after
remaining half an hour are taken out
and again washed. 1t is to be noticed
that this preparation does not so mut
destroy the poison as transfer it to the
wafer, and care must be taken not &c
use the latter for any other purpose

Bachelors in History.

In antiquity it was considered I'M
patriotic to remain unmarried. Hence
bachelors were subject to peculiar disa-
bilities in the Spartan and Roman code.
They were obliged to pay extra taxes,
and under Augustus they were barred
from the inheritance of real estate
except from their nearest relatives.
Only one of our national presidents
was a bachelor. Bachelors, generally
speaking, are not as successful in fife
as married men. Ii is said that not
one of Washington's associate leaders
in the revolutionary struggle was a
eelibate. All had the influence of mar
rage and social life. Hence that ten
dency against wedlock which marks the
present day is among its worst features.
Speaking of marriage, it should be q
complete union of affection and intel
lectual powers. 1t may be added that
mans wife should be to certain
degree his business partner. She
should know something of his risks and
financial difficulties, and in this way
the burden OF life is often divided.
Walter Scott concealed from his
wife his connection with the Bana-
tynes which caused his ruin. This was
a great mistake. On the other hand,
one of the most successful business
J men in the city has always made his
wife confdant in his schemes, and

Things which they don't Understand.
Anybody who has led a domestic life knows how
common such things as the headache, and pains in
the chest, are among the women who do the work.
Often, and perhaps generally, the distresses are
borne without much complaint, The women get
about, and the machinery of the house goes on.
Beyond this, those coarse grained animals whom
New England women call 1.-THE men folks" sell
dom look So long as their wives or daughters are
not actually in bed, under the doctors care, the
average thick-skinned husband and father gives
the subject no attention AT the same time the
poor household drudges-who deserve better
fate-ereep around, broom or utensils in hand, up
stairs, down stairs and ont-of-doors, doing that
womans work, which lis never done Losses of
loved wives and fair girls-losses whose sudden
ness and unexpectedness astonish those wooden
pated husbands and fathers-fall, seemingly ont
of clear sky and form the logical sequel to the
story of neglect. ,
Now, YOU men who stand at the heads Of ten
thousand auch homes, allow us to drop word in
Your receptive ears. If these women of yours are
worth having, they are worth saving That back
ache that pain in the chest What are they but
ndicat ons of some organic trouble OF the kid
neys, the heart or the lungsg End ID at once by
the application of BENS0N'S CAPCINE P0-

distress, drive away that pain, Danish that dull,
weary headache, give new strength to the body
and fresh hope to the heart No other plaster will
do his. The Benson's plaster, however, is not
made 20 sell-but to heal. 1t is a remedy which
never yet broke its promise-and never viii.

THE DYNAMITE AMENDMENT.
Hon. J. r. Penny hackers Views
To the Estltor Of the Register.


FRANKLIN. March 1S.-Your "muddle"
proposition, as the result of the constitu-
tioual amendment submitted by the Legis-
lature has caused considerable discussion
pro and con upon the question as to wheth.
er its adoption necessitates an election on
the Tuesday after he 6rst Monday in Norem.
Jsr, IN 1854. Not claiming to be great consti-
tutional expounder, but having been unfor-
tunately a member of the Legislature that
submitted il, will give my understanding
of its effect. 1t would be useless for me
to reiterate arguments 50 able, male by
AesSrs. Lamb, Brsnnon and Flournoy,
therefore merely state it as my opinion,
and so stated while in the Legisl ature, that
its adoption does necessitate an election on
the Tuesday after the first Monday in No
vember, 1854. The last section of
the Constitution, viz: Section 2, Arti-
Gle Il, expressly provides that II a majority
of the qualified voters voting on the ques-
ton at the polls, held persuant to such law
that required for submitting the amend
mentl ratify the proposed amendment it
shall be in force from the tinae Of s'seh rdtif-
cation as part of the Constitution OF the
State" But in the face of this declaration
some of our wise men say we could have
avoided any "muddls" by providing
that il should not take effect until
1896. viii they tell Us how this could be
done before this section is stricken out by
q vote of the people on proposition to so
amend the Constitution? Would not their
position, if correct, be in direct conflict
with this section? So do not blame the
Legislature, but rather the distinguished
gentleman who framed your organic Law.
In my judgment, an amendment such as is
now proposed, can nerer become part of
