jlEuuse Keeping antkRaising Children.
! 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.

{the JYcw Era, we hoped our feelings
would be spared the mortification of ;
! arraigning our noble women for high ,
crimea and misdemeanors in their domestic
duties. 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. Everything went on ! t
tip-toe till a quarter past nine, when i

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. I). H. Hill tfius refers in the

jvrtr/M.#/i jtviiiu iu ul, xiuges euiugy
in the distinguished chieftain, at the
Jackson celebration in liichmoud:?
"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.
[t makes a very strong showing for the J
-losition, that the only exception to this
our years tenure is in case of an Ex- .
jeutive appointment, "where the unexpired
term does not exceed one year," as I
provided by the constitution, but that all )
.'lections must under the constitution
je for the full term of four years.
Registration of Voters.
In view of the .approaching session of
;he Legislature, the State Press is again
liseussing the question of Registration,
Hid urging the passage of a proper law
)ii the subject. The matter was brought
jo fore the last Legislature in the message
of Governor Chamberlain, aud the
iceessity of Registration clearly and
orcibly set forth ; and we trust that the
present session will not end without the
lassage of a law, making due provision ?
n Hi" promises. Election frauds will
xi.-f in spite of all efforts to proven?
hem, brit the chances fo'r their comnission
are so materially diminished by

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.
