When a girl marries. she ought, 10 Ger
tain extent, give up her acquaintance, and
consider the company of her husband the best
company she can have. The young wife must
learn cooking carefully. There are many ex-
cellent cookery books. hut she must not follow
them implicitly.


My own plan. for some time after ! was
married, was 70 take some dish and prepare
it once according to the recipe given, and
note carefully what ingredients could be dis
pensed with The second time ! generally
managed it at half the expense. \ useful
plan is to keep a blank book in the kitchen
table drawer. and whenever deviation from
the cookery-book is made, iot it down. Do
not wait till YOU have washed your hands !.
let the book he fnger-marked rather than
lose an idea.


You willthus learnmore Of household econ
omv than if You trust TO memory alone. and
when your daughters grow up, what a fund
Of practical information it Will be for them.
To a great extent the celibacy of young men
is owing to the way in which young girls are
brought up. Through mistaken kindness,
mothers often do themselves what they ought
10 make their daughters do. Let them teach
house keeping on fixed methodical plan,
and they will then learn their history, French,
and music all the better.


1t is natural and right that a mother should
wish to see her daughter well-educated, and
even highly accomplished, anditis mistake
that good and careful eduation would unfit a
girl for the homely duties of cooking. dust
ing, &c. On the contrary, those duties would
be better performed, and if mothers would at
the same time that they seek talented in
stuctors for their daughters, impart to them
some Of their own culinary talent, there would
be more good wives and more marriages.


Little girls should be taught, as early as
possible, to perform simple household duties
neatly, and as they grow older let them be
come gradually acquainted with the theory
of housekeeping in such a manner that when
they are married they viii be able to adapt
themselves t0thcir circumstances, and be use
ful as well as pleasing companions to their
husbands. Let none of my unmarried sisters
suppose that | wish them, when they marry,
to become mere household slaves


Most young men when they marry have
fair prospects of advancement, and should
they be steady they may in time be able to
keep not one servant only, but several, and
their wives knowledge of Housekeeping prove
no less useful to them then than it was when
they had no servant at all.

A week or SO ago, the wife of a very
respectable mechanic residing on Twelfth
street, in this city, died after a short ill
ness, and the usual arrangements were
made for the funeral services. One of
the city undertakers, at the request of the
husband, provided very handsome coffin
for the deceased, into which the lifeless
remains were placed, and they were per-
mitted to remain in a room. During the
ensuing night, however, one of the watch
ers, who had heard and read of reports of
cases of suspended animation, and being
imbue with curiosity in the premises,
decided to ascertain for herself whether
there was any probability Of truth in such
reports.


A favorable opportunity presented it
self for the fulfillment of her schemes.
and having satisfied herself that she was
really alone with the corpse, she obtained
a small looking-gla aud laid it upon the
face of the deceased. To her great sur
prise there appeared evidences Of breath
ings upon the face of the glass, and she
resolved, for fear OF deception, to make
another test, with another glass. The
operation being repeated, the same signs
we're manifested, and she revealed her dis
coveries to the other watchers. Each in
turn tried the glass, aud each had the sat
isfaction of observing precisely what the
first had.


OF course, in the morning the whole af-
fair was discussed with the family Of the
deceased, and it then occurred that long
Ttime ago young man, member OF the
womah's family, had died, and previous
to the burial of the corpse had actually
rolled over upon one side, showed signs
Of life, and the ease was declared 10 have

Gen. Grant has been accused of intem.
perance. The Copperhe ads fight him with
talk about this alleged bad habit, just as
the rebels fought him with powder and
ball in the war; but the case is set right
in little speech which the Hon. w. H.
Dodge made on Thursday evening. Mr.
Dodge said that he had just been in Wash
ington, and had had long interview with
Gen. Grant, and, continued he, 81 left
him with the conviction that neither We
nor the friends of temperance have any
cause for anxiety in this respect" Mr..
Dodge is President Of the National Tem-
perance Society, and no one can be more
hostile to everything approaching intem-
perate habits in public man. The truth
is, that the practice of Gen. Grant is total
abstinence. In camp he-almost alone,
among all the prominent officers of the
army-never tolerated liquor or wine at
his table or about his tent. Fatiguing
marches and the excitement and exhaus-
tion of battles did not make him break
over his rule, not to touch or taste any
thing alcoholic. Again and again we have
seen wine offered him at public and pri-
yate dinners, only to be steadily refused.
We arc assured that now, in time Of peace
and in the society of Washington. he still
maintains the same custom. His epemies
must invent some other story. The peo-
pie will never believe that Gen. Grant is a
drunkard; and if, from not personally
knowing Grant, they are not sure of the
facts, they will answer as President Lin
coin did: "Let me know what kind of
whisky Grant drinks, and will send a
barrel to every one Of our Generals"

Further Particulars Of the Affair.


WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. 25, 1868.
From an entirely reliable correspondent in Rich
mond learn some facts tonight that give rather o
different shade to the Pollard Grant tragedy. 1t
seems that the day before the shooting Grant went
to Pollard and asked him II he was the author
OF the obnoxious article Pollard said he was,
and refused to retract. Grant then challenged
Pollard, and offered to fight him then and
under bonds and was not at liberty to accept chal-
lenge. Grant thereupOn told Pollard to beware; that
satisfaction he Grant would shoot MIN on sight,
This threat 1t seems caused the police to carefully
watch Grant, and the result was that he found but

The accounts that como from ever,
direction of collisions bctwccn tho
two races domiciled in tho South arc
but coniirmatory of tho truth of what
we have hccn stating and rc-statina
for the past two years-that is, that
tho question before US of tho South is
a question of races aud nota political
question in tho general accebtation OF
the torn. Even tho financial ques.
tion, which is 50 potent in this cam
paign, will pass away and be forgot
ten, just as the speculation and plans
for checking the deterioration of Con-
federate money arc already forgotten.
Six short years ago how deeply wo
were interested in tho discussion of
the Confederate debt and the best
measures of saving the government
notes from becoming uttorly worthless.
Six short years have passed, and who
thinks any longer of the Confederate
debt Six years moro will place tho
Federal debt by the side of tho Con-
federato, as Pitt slumbers by the side
of Fox. For as tho Federal dobt
never can bo paid, it must necessarily
be repudiated sooner or later.


But rs we said in former issue,
the negroe question: will remain as
the mountain, while othor questions
whirl and vollcy like clouds about its
summit. 1t Is race against raco It
will be so in spite of tho cackling of
Northern geese or tho hooting Of
Southern owls. Both species of birds
may be as outraged, by seeing the
case so presented, as it is possible for
them to be at anything however out
ragcous, but this truth, nevertheless,
will prevail. One race or the other
will rule this land, for there can be
no permanent government undor
whioll both can exercise equal rights.


Ono race will assert it's supremacy
over tho other, or both will perish in
the slough of mongrclism.


No man will dare deny the truth Of
these statesmonts, for he knows that if
he does he will be made to stand up
before the public and prove the
truth of what we assert. Yet there
are too many who wish wholly to ig-
more the vital question and waste
their breadth and other peoples timo
on minor issdcs.

edge his right to vote, if you claim
the right yourself for by going on
the stage with him under such
conditions you acknowledge him as

equal.


We have been waiting patiently for
the commissioned leaders of the
Democratic party in the State to
speak on this subject and they will
not, and it is only now and then We
see the natural antagonism botw cen
the races breaking out in every direc-
tion that we throw aside all ceremony
and present the question stripped Of
the garbs that sophistry has thrown
around it. It is race against race !;

CALIFORNIA FARMING.-The Stockton Gd- 7ette tells of a farmer from up the San Joaquin who purchased thirty-four tons of grain bags at an expense of Sl 800, in which to sack his wheat the coming harvest This is sample of the extensive manner in which Californians enter into the business of farming. The weight of the sacks alone is greater than many entire crops of quite large Eastern farmers, and their cost would constitute large income to the farmer. This is large tax upon the farmer, AS hts sacks are not returned to him, and this will probably soon lead to the shipping of the grain in bulk.
