Editor Press and B(inner : Wives know so little these clays about j house-keeping and raising children, we think a few hints thrown out for their especial benefit should be caught up and digested by them. For a long time we thought our Southern women equal to the occasion, and would so acquit themselves. . Bui in prospecting for the last few years, wc lind very many glaring ; omissions and commissions at their doors awaiting both attention and correction. Wc love them, and therefore will talk in kind, good words, hoping to assist them in keeping house and rais- ; ing children rightly.

But as Miss Pipsey is oil' on a visit to Philadelphia, arranging i for Greenwood's representation at the Centennial, we intend to hold the women to a strict accountability for their short-comings as house-keepers and wives. . , ladies. ( Can husbands expect any more than an excuse of a wife selected from among those raised up before the war? Parents ( had too many negroes and mules to make house-keepers of their daughters,!J and hence the present great vacuum, j, What constituted their routine of daily ij life and duties? Let us answer, viz: an endless bang-bang on the pianoforte, \ accompanied by the bass voice of some , lovesick swain?lazy morning naps? . late <ea lights?thrce'beaux at once, and \ the dining-room full of negro maids to ] assist them to bed. Dear wife, is this j not unveiling the truth of your life? ( j If so, hasten to reform, and raise your .little daughters so that they may become j j worthy wives and nice house-keepers. [, We are full of thanks "to the stars" fori, the prodigy with which we are journey- L ing through this sin-lost, miserable I. world. j arusnANns. The fair-minded reader will grant us this fact, that hoys before the war were generally rigidly trained (o all duties pertaining to successful manhood, and hence the good husbands. The poor < creatures, when boys, were driven from (j I their quiet retreats'to see after the a Hairs! of the house and kitchen, in order that j' Lister miirht sleep.

I:l ?-1 \ nieaus to Ilia* end. o Change of the Democratic Policy. The Courier-Journal attributes the disasters in the Democratic ranks to a fatal change of policy from the great issues of misrule, corruption and tariff reform, to other and subordinate issues, designed to promote narrow and selfish ends. Under the former they had achieved an unbroken series of victo- . ries, but with a change of policy have come disaster and defeat. It says:? "There can bo little difference of opinion on the subject now. Nothing could have changed the tide of victory which had squarely set in but the substitution (ji liio iiiuii issues lor me successrui ones. Tlie President had given no genuine evidence -of a change of policy. The carpet baggers of the South were as remorseless and destructive as ever. Corruption in Congress and out of it was disclosed with each new investigation. The people had determined upon a change of parties. and of policy. But just at that time, pretto, and the political jugglers revolutionize the .aspect of afiairs, the Southern sky is darkened, gloomy portents gleam on every hand, * the partisans of the President smile, the adventurers and thieves rise at once to a terrible importance, and hell for the South and purgatory for the North have conic again. Fortunately, however, all is not yet lost. There has been 110 Phillippi, no Waterloo, to change the destinies of nations and to construct a new map of the world. What has been lost by the folly of the few may be regained by the courage and patriotism of the many. The necessities of the situation, coming home to every honest and intelligent member of the opposition will result in the concentration of all of their energy and hope upon the vital points essential to the existence of our institutions. Public opinion, guided by a sense of public danger, will suppress the rivalries of petty aspirants for the presidency in Ohio iis well as elsewhere. There will be a united effort against Grantism, with the long catalogue of evils which ihe teT'iu implies." Gen. Joseph Er Johnson. Gen. I). H.

"Carried away by the enthusiasm caused by the mighty surroundings, Dr. Huge made his most eloquent utterances Dxtemporaneously, and they do not appear in his published speech. He paid inuwt glowing tribute to Gen. Joseph E Johnston, the greatest of living soldiers, whose singular fortune it was always to encounter vastly superior forces, md therefore to be always retreating; but his retreats gave no confidence to Iiis enemies and demoralized not one whit his own devoted followers. The sheer that greeted this outburst of Dr. H.)ge was as hearty and spontaneous from the tens of thousands of listening soldiers as from * the orator himself. Glen. Johnston was much affected by this honest tribute of love, confidence md admiration, and came forward and bowed his acknowledments." The Judicial Tije I\f.ics and Courier fortifies its po- ?;? jition?that the Judicial tenure of office in this ?Statc is fixed by the Constitu;ion for the term of four years, which . :he Legislature cannot abridge?by a new array of arguments and authorities.

Notes on Advertising. To cure dull times?apply an adverisement to the all'iieted parts. A sign-board can't tell "anything. It akes an advertisement to do tliat. All who advertise do not get rich ; but " jrecious few got rich without it. . ^ The world is full of advertising; yet >very one warns to see wiun is new. The world's memory is short. It will nrget you if you do not jog it frequenty. Zarly to bed and early to rise will be lII in v.'iin if vou don't advertise. The world 'is sure to find out an honst man; but it will Hud him out a ;reat deal quicker if he advertises.
