Our old State Bank has heretofore been

a bill into the Senate empowering the State
officers to take stock in a State National
Bank, using for that purpose the State moneys
known as the School Fund and all the bank
property and surplus funds of the old State
Bank This bill also provides that all the
bona tide notes of the old institution shall
be taken up and replaced by so year coupon
bonds on the State Of Tennessee. There are
strong indications that this bill will pass,
and in that event, the old issues of the State
Bank are likely to appreciate IN value to
about IS cents on the dollar, and thel e is an
immense amount of those notes now held
throughout the State by parties who are an
willing toiseH at the present ruInOus valua-

one hundred per cent and placing their re-

Some of the London theatres are making
capital out of the loss Of the steamer Lon
don on which occasion the celebrated trage-
dian G. V Brooke, then eB route for aus
tralia, met his end. The terrific catastrophe
is represented with every fidelity Of detail
on the stage. The Surrey theatre brings
Brooke himself on the boards. and makes him
hold a touching soliloquy upon his unavoid-
able fate. 1t sounds almost incredible that
the widow of the deceased artist should have
taken a part in the performance of this
sensation piece, but this IS positively true.
She is an American, and well known By her
maiden name Of Avonia Jones on this side
of the Atlantic. The Brittania TheateF, at
Hoxton, jealous Of the success of its rival
of the Surrey, tried to out do the other by
making the loss Of the London still more true
to nature, and for this object engaged the
sailors saved from the wreck to take part in
the representation. This experiment draws
vast crowds to the doors, and the theater
can hardly hold the nightly audiences.
The merits Of these heroes are, of course,
very questionable, for their escape is due to
their having seized the only seaworthy boat
and left the rest to perish. This seems, how
ever, TO make them no less welcome to pub
lie curiosity

The kitchen Is the heart of the kingdom,
the true seat Of government IN domestic
economies; who rules there, rules supreme.
A visit of ceremony. for a few moments at
a stated hour in the morning can confer no
authority whatever. Neither, on the other
hand, is it necessary to be meddling and
muddling there perpetua1ly, or to do any
thing contrary to the instincts Of a lady in
the way of espionage.


1t is simply this that by being actually
busted IN the kitchen q short time daily, bv
taking into her own hands the Management
and execution of those arrangements which
require the skill and involve the entire con-
troll of the housekeeping expenditure, u
mistress ehectually breaks the rod of power
IN her cooks hands, and can sweep away at
once the "perquisite system, the waste
and the dishonest understandings with the
tradesmen; because she is in a position to
know within little what Is really and hon
estly needed and consumed, and to give her
own orders.


Economy, however, Is not the sole benefit
to follow. There Is an old but not yet
superannuated maxim-if you want thing
well done, do it yourself The tangible re-
suits upon the dinneF-table would be no less
satisfactory than the reduced cost of their
production.


Nor is this a matter of slight Importance
The best nourished body is, other things
being equal, the most capable of sustaining
mental work and resisting disease. Bad
cookery IS slow poison to those whe work
hard To set before man who returns eZ-
hausted in mind and body from his days
work, messy, unappetizing dinner, is, if it
occur exceptionally, to spoil his temper, or
if that be unspoilable, his comfort for the
evening. But, If it occur habitually, it is
to knock ten or dozen years off his lease of
life.


Then, too it is no small satisfaction to be
able if Hospitality inclined to insure your
friends a dinner, which, ifmodest in its pre-
tensions, is thoroughly excellent-not a

thing looking like what it isn't, and tasting
of nothing in particular; not to mention
that there is double zest in witnessing the

THE CART BEFORE THE

Oh, for some deep secluded dell,
Where brick and mortar life may cease !;
To sit down in pot of grease
No--no-l mean a grot of peace.
I'd choose home by Erin's wave,
With not O sound to mar life's lot
I'd by the cannon have a shot,
No-by the Shannon have q cot.
How fair that rocky isle around,
That wild expanse to scan 1t O'e5

Romantic Ems sea girt land,
How sweet with one you love the most,
To watch the cock upon the roast
mean the rocks upon the coast.
'Twere sweet at moonlight's mystic hour,
To wander forth where few frequent,
To come upon tipsy gent
NO--no--I mean gypsy tent.
In that retirement, love, would
Pursue some rustic industry,
And make myself boiling tea
No-no-I mean toiling bee.
Beneath shady sycamore,
How sweet to breathe loves tender vow,
Your dear one bitten by q SOW
No-I mean sitting by a bough.
Or sweet with fond wife to sit
Outside your door at daylight's close,
While she's hard hitting at your nose
mean hard knitting at your hose.
Perhaps on early cares you brood,
While sympathy her sweet face shows |;
IT'S good to walk upon ones toes
mean to talk upon ones woes.
All still you watch that fairy shape,
A summer dress which does adorn,
Admiring much her laugh of scorn-
No-no---I mean her scarf of lawn.

one in every particular, although the attendance
WAS smaller than generally expected. But there

GENERAL GRANTS POsITIoN.-Some unscru-
pulous partisans of the President go so far in
their efforts to sustain the unsound position new
ly taken by that functiOnary, as to falsely allege
that General Grant is of their way of thinking.
The President declares that matters are all quiet
in the South, and rumors have been prevalent
that he would so far usurp the power vested in
Congress by the Constitution ms to make public
proclamation of peace. In a letter to the Presi-
dent dated December 18TH General Grant said ;

THE Co0LIE TRADE WITH lNDIA.-Let-
tiers from Havana give the last quotation for
Chinese "Coolie contracts" at three hundred
and fifty dollars per head The price one
would think, must leave very large mar
gin of profit for the importers; and suggests
something bearing a very considerable re-
semblance 10 the slave trade. Very seldom
do the Coolies receive thirty dollars on leav-
ing China, and seventy dollars will, as they
are taken, more than cover the expense of
one passage and Of the broken rice and rot~
ten salt feh on which they are fed. Now
in a vessel containing one thousand Coolies,
like that which was burned the other day,
this would leave profit supposing they all
reachfd their destination of $3.50, 900 to be
pocketed by the brokers, minus any expense
they may be put to, or rather not be put
to, in returning the Coolies to China after
eight or ten years labor in CuJa. The slave
trade, with allits losses by death and capture,
was never so lucrative as the Coolie traffic
seems to be; and it is evident, from the
known state Of China and of the Spaniards
and Portuguese there, that if such sums can
be made by the traffic, Coolies will have to
engage in it whether they will or mol
willingly, all the better; but if not, then
otherwise.
