An Essay read before the Richmond Vale Grange, and subsequently before the Richmond County Council of Granges. BY MBS. L J. THOMAS. I know I shall differ in opinion from many of our Grangers when I give my idea with regard to economy in house bold labor. There is an economy of j choice and an economy of necessity, the one is praiseworthy, we deserve no credit for practicing the other. As society is constituted, among farmers as a class, wives are dependent upon their husband's sense of right for the amount of money they spend, and the number of servants they hire, I had almost written that they were dependent upon the generosity of their husbands, but I shall frighten the gentlemen of onr Grange when I affirm that I am an equal-rights woman, in so far that I claim for the wives of our far? mers an equal share, at least, in the man? agement of the household economy. I. do not go so far as Solomon, who alludes to the wife, "As she considered a field and buyeth it." A farmer's wife who would go so far as to "consider a field and buy it," would be thought to have rather overstepped a lady granger's priv? ilege. A farmer does not consider that he is doing a generous action when he pays the Blacksmith or mechanic whom he employs. He does think he is doing a very generous act when he gives his wife a sum of money to buy clothes for herself and the children; he calls it a present to her, forgetting that she has been work ins; without wages, and as he bestows the small sum, perhaps grudgingly, mutters something about the extravagance of wo? men, and the necessity of economy in labor. He thinks it utterly impossible to hire a cook. All through the long summer days his wife cooks, washes her dishes takes care of the children, her rest often disturbed by the little ones at nights; if she complains the answer is, "Oh we must economize, times are so hard." She thinks be knows best, and often envies the colored man or woman she sees him paying wages to, for she knows she has been working in a differ? ent way quite as hard, but then she is his wife, you know?honor enough in that. What does she want with money ? He buys her a calico dress now and then, and occasionally a pair of shoes. She ought to be content. She requires an? other tub or an extra iron she says, but hereplie8,"well,youmustgeton somehow, I'm obliged to buy another plough and some more hoes"?we can imagine which are bought, and she does get on somehow, I and weary work it often is. The farmer rises early, goes out in the morning to prepare bis ground, the green world and sunny skies above him, sing? ing birds and pure, delicious air around \ him. He would probably deny that their influence caused him to whistle merrily as he works; he does not deny that he has an excellent appetite for the good breakfast his wife has prepared for him; he eats it, perhaps, without one thought for the wife who has cooked it, and again he leaves for his work. If the sun is very hot he rests under the shade of a tree until the horn blows for dinner; if a bucket of cool water is not ready forbim, if his dinner is a little delayed, he says, "Well, Jane, it is strange you can't help a man!" Dinner over, he smokes his pipe or cigar, (I believe pipes are the ap? proved style for the farmer,) be then goes to sleep; afterwards he goes out to work again the field, and either works or seeks the shade of another tree. If the former, when night comes he is tired; when peo? ple are tired they are not usually cheer? ful companions; supper over he is ready for bed, and thus time passes. How has the wife been employed dur? ing the day? She rises unrefreshed at an early hour; perhaps she has young children ; they are to be dressed, break? fast is to be prepared, afterwards, or be? fore, the cow is to be milked, milk skimmed and butter churned, the dishes rind kitchen articles are to be washed, then the house is to be put in order, chickens are to be looked after, the pigs to be fed, occasionally she does a little work in the vegetable garden ; her hus? band is so busy in the farm he has not time to spare for the garden ; perhaps she does the fine ironing?sewing, too, for the family is her duty. The farmer hires an extra hand occasionally, but he would think it an innovation upon an old established custom to give out any portion of the sewing. He forgets that a dress is twice as much trouble to make as in his mother's time. I expect she has a sewing machine, perhaps paid for it by the work she has done on it since. Din? ner is to be prepared, beans to be strung, peas to be shelled, and all this consumes time; dinner over, dishes are again tabe washed, sewing to be done, cow to be milked again, supper again to prepare, the children are to be put to bed. She is so tired she longs to go too, but there is the basket of sewing, and until a late hour, she plies the needle. When the watermelons and fruit and fall crop are sold, the husband takes care of the cash, pays off the hands he has employed, but entirely forgets to pay the wife who has been cooking and doing the housework. He may say he is paid nothing, but all she wishes is to be paid in proportion to what he pays himself. As Solomon tells us, "Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her." She will very probably spend it in a carpet, or pair of vases, or shade, something he will enjoy too, although he may not admit their influence. Perhaps this husband and wife may have been raised in comfort or affluence ?they are reduced so that economy is absolutely essential. How can wc econ? omize labor is the thought of both of j them. In such cases the burden is apt to fall unequally?aside from her other cares the duty of maternity devolves upon the woman. Let the husband take care that in regulating the domestic economy it does not fall too heavily upon his wife; labor is cheap and there are few men who are unable to hire one servant. The sum of money which he spends for tobac? co, or in an occasional drink for himself, or treats to his friends, would, if expended in that way, provide him with a cook during the summer months. How to economize labor is a subject replete with interest to all housekeepers, and few have solved the problem to their satisfaction. One would naturally imag? ine that this question has been of absorb? ing interest since the war and the conse? quent loss of property, but the wife of the Southern slaveholder had so many per? sons to keep employed that it was a bur? den ; the plantation clothes were to be cut out and made, each one marked when finished, and checked off when given out. Remembering all this, I do not hesitate to affirm my belief that there are many la? dies, the wives of Southern slaveholders, who have far more time at their com? mand now than in the ante-bellum days. By economizing labor, I understand to be an economy of such a character as will give to the housekeeper more time, time to be employed a* she may most like in sewing, reading, writing, or visit? ing, as her wish may dictate. One im? portant item in household economy is the hire of servants; in this the prudent housekeeper will be guided by the size of her family, and the fortune of her hus? band. Economy, I regard as a relative term. What would be economy in one house? keeper would be miserly in another. An economy which the wife of a poor man would practice would be unnecessary in the wife of her wealthy neighbor?in each case there is a necessity for economy in labor, the one does the cooking and house-cleaning, the other is often in? volved in a round of engagements which are "a wearisome to the flesh," and cause her to exclaim, "How cau I escape, from this labor of visiting and receiving, how can I economise time so as to find leisure for what I would most enjoy ?" Essays on housekeeping, which have been furnished by the ladies of Eich raond Vale Grange, contain many valu? able suggestions appropriate to this sub? ject. I am reminaed of an incident in my early married life. I had moved from the city to the country, and was be? ginning to develop the love for garden? ing, which has grown stronger as I have grown older. My father one day, allud? ing to some one, said, "He is the laziest man I ever saw; he is too lazy to pick up a hoe, but puts his foot under it and lifts it in that way." "Why, pa," said I, "that is the way I always lift a hoe." What an amused look he gave me, and what a laugh there was at my expense. How often I have been reminded of it as I have attempted to economize labor by lifting a hoe left carelessly by some one else. I always leave my garden rake and hoe leaning in a particular place. I am inclined to think that my friends may have another smile at my expense when they learn that I am writing on economy in housekeeping. I came from a race of farmers who, in early life, learned the lesson of "take care of the pennies, the pounds will take care of themselves." My mother's mother commenced life a poor girl, she married a poor man, yet lived to be a wealthy woman. My father was a poor young man; it was his proud boast that he made his own fortune. The lessons handed down from my parents, the ex? amples to which I have been accustomed from childhood produce their effect, and the lesson of economy is more readily learned now that it is a necessity; At no time, however, have I been a wasteful housekeeper?as a faithful steward I have tried to take care of what has been en? trusted to my charge, and have always carried my keys. We pray to be deliv? ered from temptation, and should avoid tempting others. Servants are often tempted by cloth and articles left lying carelessly about. When I am cutting out a piece of long cloth I write "end" where I have left off, with a lead pencil. Marking every article of clothes is an- J other saving of labor; spools-of thread which are marked will not be taken but of the house so often. It is an excellent plan to have a box for vegetable seed, another for flower seed, have each pack? age labelled and none left untied; a box for medicine, each package tied up with specific directions, and a particular shelf for liquid medicines, also carefully la? belled, will save trouble. Above all things have order?a place where it is so well understood that articles belong that j each member of the family knows where to find them. If preparing for company, make a list of what will be required as ' the article occurs to you. I have found this an excellent plan in preparing for damp-meeting. When the summer or winter clothes are put away for the sea- I son, each child's clothes are tied up in a separate bundle with the name and num? ber written on it; if white, with lead pencil, if colored, with ink on a strip of paper and pinned on the bundle. The clothes which the children outgrow, and my own which I used to give away, I now find ready sale for, thus aiding in paying servants' hire. I have often paid for several month's labor by selling dresses which I have laid aside. In the fall and spring when I am packing away the clothes, I place those I wish to sell in a separate box, to be convenient when called for. Young housekeepers should avoid buy? ing granite or china ware which is fluted or ridged. The plain is in better taste and much easier washed; have a partic? ular shelf or box for waste paper. When I have finished reading a daily paper I cut or tear a notch in the top of it?at a glance I can tell if I have read it. A box for strings near the waste paper and a bag for rags are little things, but they have saved me many steps. A scrap book to preserve the many valuable re? cipes which are published is another con? venience. An excellent plan in setting a hen is to mark each of them with the number you use, and the day of the month, on an egg as well as in the mem? orandum book, which all housekeepers should have. In this book should be a separate list of the silver, china, glass and tin ware, as well as kitchen furniture. At regular times they should be looked over and counted, a certain number left out for daily use, and the other locked up to be ready when company comes. ' A dust pan to save trouble in sweep? ing ; the ball lamp, covered with tissue paper or tarletan in summer, to prevent so much rubbing of brass?these are among the many plans for saving labor, to which a careful housekeeper will re? sort. Another item of economy in labor is to have less cooking on days when one wishes to have scouring of floors or wash? ing of window panes. Ham and eggB, with biscuit, and a good cup of tea or coffee, is easily prepared and very satis? factory at such times. The good husband is always willing to eat such a diuner, and find no fault. One very important item in labor sav? ing is mending. "A stitch in time saves nine." With regard to the labor-saving machine of washer, wringer, etc., I have had no experience. I had one of the former, but, like most of her race, my washerwoman did not take kindly to it. As her work was very satisfactory, I did not insist upon her using it. I interfere as little as possible with the servants I employ, thus creating in them a feeling of responsibility, which works well for both parties. I have always attempted to have system in my housekeeping, but how varied are the interruptions I I have an early breakfast; the house is cleaned up, and I think I will do a good morn? ing's work. I go to the storeroom and give out dinner. There are so many lit? tle things to be remembered, each in it? self important, a little pepper or salt will be forgotten, and another visit to the Btoreroom is necessary. I take my seat at the table, with my work and bundle of patterns, each child's pattern tied up in a separate bundle with a piece of colored cloth like one of their dresses. When the garment is cut out, a piece of the goods is tied around the pattern. I am just beginning to be interested in my work, when the cook comes in, "Please ma'am, give me a little more flour; I've made up my dough too soft." Of course, it has to be given ; accidents will happen. My seat is resumed, grateful if the chil? dren have not disturbed my patterns. Frank, the colored boy, comes in, "Miss Gertrude, Mr. Thomas says please send him a handful of nails." The nails are sent, a ngh of relief breathed, when a sten is heard. Old Uncle Sam wants "Missis to give him a piece of bacca, if | you please, ma'am." He is an old man; the tobacco must be given. While at the storeroom, the children wish lunch? eon, which is given them; this I go to the dining room for. With a very indis? tinct recollection of how I intended to shape the article I am working, I again take my seat, when one of the tenant's children come in with "Please, ma'am, some medicine for mammy's baby." A little baby must not be neglected, so the medicine is sent. While I am at the storeroom, Clan ton, my little boy, comes up crying; he b.as cut his foot; he has to be attended to. Dinner time comes; I feel that I have been very busy, but lit? tle cutting out has been done, and I won? der how can I economize labor. Many persons are extravagant in their expenditure of labor. Like Martha of | old, they are cumbered witfe many cares. So intent are they in keeping a faultless? ly neat house, that they worry every member of the family. Mrs. Smith is a house-keeper who is quoted by all of her acquaintances as a model. To be as good a house-keeper as she is thought to be is to have attained perfection in the art. Faultlessly neat, spotlessly clean, is every? thing which is subjected to the visitors' inspection, but oh, at what an expense of comfort! She is always fretting, cora Elaining that everything is not as it should e. When company comes, she has an air suggestive of apology. The servants dread a scolding if a small duty is omit? ted. The children are more at ease when out of the house than when in it. The husband is cramped in bis movements. She complains if his boots are dusty, if he forgets to place his bat on the rack, or chances to place a newspaper or book on a table not expressly intended for those articles. No wonder be thinks such a waste of labor unnecessary, and wonders "Why in the mischief don't she sit down and keep quiet 1" What a man wishes in his home is rest and peace. Solomon tells us, "Better is a dry morsel and quietness therewith than an house full of strife." I have quoted from Solomon as the wisest of men. We are told that he had seven hundred wives, all of whom were princesses. Think of I being subjected to the tongues of seven hundred women 1 And this he had to stand for a long life, not the three score and ten years which is the ordinary time allotted to man to live. Verily, Solomon "in all his glory" was not to be envied. As sunshine to the material world, causing everything to expand under its genial influence, so is good humor to the moral world. There is no labor-saving machine equal to a bright, energetic wo? man. She infuses new life into the econ? omy of the household. If there is a necessity, she can bake, sweep, dust, patch, manage and contrive, remember? ing? "A servant with this clause Makes meanest work divine: Who sweeps a room as by God's laws Makes that and the action fine." Such a woman is a fortune in herself, with her boundless love, her infinite trust, willingness to merge every thought ana feeling into the union of married life, in its oneness?its completeness. Humbly, reverently, she realizes her responsible {>osition, her children respect while they ove her, her husband is strengthened to renewed energy by her cheering words as he realizes? "Domestic bliss, the only gift of Paradise That has survived the fall." Pipe Smoking in Torkey. It is not an uncommon thing to see a Turk smoke from sixty to eighty pipes daily. The pipe is the indispensable companion of the Turk in every occupa? tion, how earnest and important soever it may be. In the Supreme Porte, in the Ministerial Council, where the Turkish grandees debate regarding the welfare of j their fatherland, the question was once discussed, whether, during the considera? tion of State affairs, the tscbibuktschis (pipe-bearers) should not be excluded. Great was the difference of opinions; long was the contest between the yearn? ing of the palate and the sense of pro? priety; till at last was victorious the sentiment of some corpulent members, who thought that it would be wrong to reject ignominiously the old custom, and that the blameless tschibuktschis must be permitted, as before, to enter the cham? ber and give the needful attention to the pipes. And yet all the members knew very well that this resolution was preg? nant with mischief and danger, for the cunning servants, while busy with the pipes, snatch up with quick ear many a secret of State, and before even the Sul? tan and the official world have any knowledge of the decisions of the Su? preme Council, many weighty debates and decrees have already (through the pipe-bearers) been divulged. Conse? quently, the tschibuktschi is, next to the servant of the harem, the most valuable reporter whom the journalists and ambas? sadorial dragomans can find. Tobacco and pipes are not merely the distinctive tokens of the different ranks. A muschir (marshal) would think it altogether un? suitable to smoke with a pipe shorter than two ells, while the handicraftsman, or the official of a lower order, would be deemed presumptuous if his pipe-stem transcended the measure of that habitual with his class. The grandees in contact or contrast with a man of low degree, can parade his pipe to its full length; but the man of low degree, modestly thrust? ing aside or concealing his instrument, must not show more of it than the mouth? piece which he holds in his hand. The Pasha can, like the chimney of a steamer, throw forth clouds of smoke, but the subordinate mnst only allow small cir? cles of smoke, light as zephyrs, to flow from his lips, and he must so contrive that the smoke does not go in front of him, but turns backwards. In the presence of a grandee, not to smoke is regarded as a testimony of respect. This sign of respect a son is likewise expected to show to his father; and a well-trained and well-mannered son is regarded who, spite of the repeated requestof his father, refuses to smoke. Why Some People are Poor.?Sil? ver spoons are used to scrape kettles. Coffee, tea, pepper and spices are left to stand open and lose their strength. Potatoes in the cellar grow and sprouts are not removed until the potatoes be? come worthless. Brooms are never hung up and are soon spoiled. Nice handled knives are thrown into hot water. The flour is sifted in a wasteful man? ner, and the bread pan is left with the dough sticking to it. Clothes are left on the line to whip to pieces in the wind. Tubs and barrels are left in the sun to dry and fall apart. Bags, strings and paper are thrown into the fire. ' Bits of meat, vegetables, bread and cold puddings are thrown away when they might be warmed, steamed and served as good as new. NEW YORK FASHIONS. OUTDOOR GARMENTS. Whatever else you may see fit to do, have nothing to do with a short cloak. Neither let your cloak be of plain mate? rial, unless, perchance, that material be silk. Yet, even here I would advise the choice of silk devised in mosaic patterns, for Fashion has set her face against plain materials of every kind, unless as an off? set to such as display bourette or mosaic characteristics. Even plain velvet, al? though the most truly respectable thing possible, is at a discount. Stylish cloth cloaks also show throughout, long, hairy tuftinr", and others are mottled in keep? ing with bourette goods. As to shapes, in the selection of something to grumble about, do not let us choose these. They are all that we can ask, and with circu? lars, dolmans and mantillas on the one side, and sacques on the other, one must be a very Mrs. Gunenidge if one does not find something to suit. But, in my judgment, the style which will prevail is the demilong, half fitting sacque. In thiB shape the "Felicia" and "Amelia" are handsome designs, adapted either to material en suite with the costume, or to independent garments of any kind of goods. FURS. In furs, the pelerine is the newest thing?a cape reaching to the shoulders, and having long ends in front narrowed down and finished by three fur tassels on either side. Baso, however, are by no means discarded, but we observe an in increase in length, since the most fash? ionable are from two to two and a half yards long. Muffs are quite small, and finished with tassels of fur, these being in greater favor in the way of ornamen? tation than anything else. All things considered, seal skin is perhaps the most desirable of furs, as it is dressy enough to be worn with a handsome costume, yet may suitably accompany a plain out? fit, while it is also regarded as appropri? ate for mourning. Seal skin sacques re? tain prestige, but dolmans of seal skin have been more recently introduced. Silk sacques and circulars lined with fur are worn, but we do not rush after them as we did two years ago. Synx and black marten rank next to seal skin. Chin? chilla is a beautiful fur and very fashion? able, but although prices are not extrav? agant, it becomes expensive because it is not durable. As to sables of fine quality, black and silver fox, I can only express my admiration of the woman who wears them. If she is not very happy she ought to be, for she has the satisfaction of knowing that she causes many pangs of unhappiness to the women who survey her with envious eyes. Mink is as thor? oughly respectable as velvet, but fashion? ables pass the one as the other, "on the other side." NEW DESIGN8?GLOVES?LINGERIE. The "Victoria" dress is cut in princess style, with drapery across the front. The Royal Princess dress shows a peculiarly graceful arrangement of scarf drapery. The Adrienne basque is a stylish modifi? cation of the Breton basque, and may be worn with the Van Zandt overskirt, which has along apron draped across the front, and is laid at the back in a deep box plait fastened by a sash. The new gloves heavily stitched or embroidered on the back of the hand, divide favor with the self-stitched in the same delicate styles hitherto scm. In color, the medium shades are most worn, but serviceable and even handsome gloves are in dark hues, while for dress -occasions we find all manner of pale tints, to s& nothing of white. For evening or full dress the Harris Prevost side cut glove is preferred as it is extremely elegant and stylish. The Harris seamless is also very durable and perfect in fit; while somewhat more moderate in price, the Victoria and Donna Maria are much esteemed by judicious purchasers. We have much talk about new collars, but the facts are that there is really no "new departure" in this line, and the upright linen collar with ends rolled over (the most masculine thing possible) continues to be more liked than anything else. A change is afforded by all manner of lace and crepe liese rushings, these last beiug intensely feminine. EVENING TOILETS. I will not be commonplace enough to write that evening toilets are beautiful. That is a matter of course. But there are some characteristics peculiar to the present season, aud of these we will do well to take note. Prominent here we find close, straight falling drapery, often without any looping, and heavy materi? als are therefore employed to the disad? vantage of diaphanous fabrics. The latter, of course, can never be discarded, but this winter they are but little used in comparison with the former. Satin, velvet and thick silk plain-woven are combined with materials of like charac acter wrought in oriental, bourette and mosaic designs. Superbly rich fringes are the favorite finish, but not to the ex? clusion of bands and box plaitings. A low corsage is the exception, since the greater number show sleeves to the elbow, with heart-shaped or pompadour front; the arm being covered with a side-but? toned glove. Clair de lune, and other jets illumine dark toilets worn by mid? dle-aged ladies, but on light-colored toilets they are not much used, as the effect would not be good. In the even? ing toilet especially is found the oppor? tunity for a pretty stocking, and the art of showing it coquctishly deserves seri? ous study. The ornamentation is all on the instep, and the choice lies between beads, embroidery and open work. LUCY CARTER. Even if we are not smart we know what to do when troubled with a cough or cold. No doctor bills for us. We take a 25 cent note, go to the nearest drug store and buy a bottle of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. One dose relieves us and one Dottle cures us entirely. The South and the West From the Columbia Register. The correspondence herewith pub? lished explains itself, and yet we are con? strained to commend the generous and manly sentiments which freight the tid? ings from the West in this instance. The farmers of Illinois are doing their share in the work of reconciliation and fraternity, and it will be a real pleasure to extend the warmest greetings to their representatives next week. As was aptly said in the invitation, we cannot forget that it was the Winnebago Agricultural Society which blazened the pathway to a better understanding between the sec? tions, when Mr. Davis was invited to de? liver an address before that community, although the number of irreconcilables at that time prevented the consummation of well-intentioned purposes. As the progress of events liberalized pnblic sen? timent, the originators of the former scheme for the promotion of fraternal re? lations were enabled to carry out their intentions without serious opposition, and accordingly invited Governor Hamp? ton to fill the position of anniversary orator at the exhibition this year. His cordial reception and magnificent wel? come to the hearts and homes of the Illi? nois farmers are matters of history, for the words spoken in behalf of peace and concord will go down to future genera? tions when the actors themselves have passed away. It was a grand occasion, worthy of the generous conception and honorable to all parties. It will be our duty and pleasure as South Carolinians to reciprocate the honors lavished upon the Governor of the State, when the del? egates of the Winnebago Society appear in pur midst. Let. all prepare to unite most heartily in the ovation of these rep? resentatives of harmony and good will from the great Northwest: ? Columbia, S. C, October 20, 1877. To the Officers and Members of the Winne? bago Agricultural Society, of Rockford, Illinois: Gentlemen : You are most respect? fully and cordially invited to attend the fair of the State Agricultural and Me? chanical Society to be held at Columbia on'the 13th, 14th and 15th days of No? vember. The action of your society, at a time of great sectional prejudice and ani? mosity, in inviting President Davis, the martyr of the South, and more recently our esteemed Governor Hampton, to ad? dress you, challenges our respect and ad? miration, and excites an earnest desire, on our part, to cultivate friendly and cordial relations with each and every member of it. With the hope that yon will find it convenient to attend, we have the honor to be, with great respect, your obedient servants, Thomas Taylob, President, Wm. Wallace, Chtu'n. Ex. Com. ! Rockfobd, III., October 31,1877. Thomas Taylor, Esq., President State Ag I ricultural Society, Columbia, S. C.: Dear Sib : I nave the honor to trans? mit to you the official action of our Ag? ricultural Board upon the reception of j your letter of invitation to them to visit I your approaching fair. It is not definite? ly known how many of our members will be able to leave their business engage? ments for the enjoy ents of so delightful an excursion ; but: am satisfied that one or more representatives of our society will find it convenient to attend. Hop? ing that your exposition will meet with a triumphant success, and that the cor? dial relations now established between our associations may. continue through all time, I have the honor to remain yours truly, Henby P. Kimball, Secretary. Whereas the Governor of South Caro? lina and the State Board of Agriculture in the exercise of their generous hospi? tality and actuated by the noblest incen? tives to disabuse the Northern mind of all misconceptions adverse to the loyalty and patriotism of the South, have ad? dressed letten of invitation to the official Board of the Northern Illinois Industrial Association, and to our citizens in gen? eral, to attend their State exposition, to be held in the city of Columbia the 18th, 14th and 15th of November, thereby en I abling them to arrive at a clearer under I standing and appreciation of the strong fraternal feelings that are cherished by the people of the South toward their brethren of the North; and, furthermore, j by personal examination to form some correct estimate of the achievements of their industries and the extent of their natural resources; be it, therefore Resolved, That we, the Official Board of the Northern Illinois Industrial Asso? ciation, convened on this public and spe? cial occasion, do emphatically express our appreciation of the distinguished honor and hospitality conferred upon us. and also of the fraternal sentiment ana j patriotic motives that inspired the letters I of invitation. That as an industrial as? sociation we heartily reciprocate the enobling spirit of fraternization con? tained therein, and moreover assert these tobe nur convictions,' that the future prosperity and grandeur of our common country must be established upon the broad foundation principles of justice, guaranteeing to every citizen and State full constitutional rights and privileges upon every portion of our national do? main. I ..Resolved, That we unqualifiedly disap? prove and condemn all conspiracies and attempts of professional politicians, who, for self-aggrandizement, seek to revive and perpetuate sectional animosities; believing, as we do, in all confidence, that the united people of both sections are eager to inaugurate a millenium of per? manent peace, and forever establish a reciprocity of our great commercial and industrial interests. Resolved, That we hail the occurrence as the harbinger of national union and prosperity; that the civil power has been emancipated from a military despotism; that "home rule" and public tranquility have been justly and happily restored by the equitable recognition of State rights, bringing every section of our country into a more perfect allegiance and a stronger bond of fellowship and brotherhood. Resolved, That we unanimously concur in the correctness of the principle that political platforms, arranged to shape the legislation of a united country, should embody no tenet detrimental to the wel? fare and progress of any section thereof; that we nail with eminent satisfaction every enterprise contemplating the bringing of the industrial classes of our nation into closer relationships, in the opening up of the highways of the con? tinent, by the construction of canals, and railroads and the improvement of our navigable rivers, thereby establishing the prosperity and perpetuity of our re? public upon the mutuality of our indus? trial ana commercial interests?thus il? lustrating the great principle of political economy, that tho people of the whole country should be united in a common interest and inheritance in the preserva? tion of our national liberties, faith and honor.

A well-kuown opera tenor of this city, says Jennie June, writing from New York to the Baltimore American, devotes his time when not engaged professionally to the making of exquisite little carvings in wood.

His life is full of labor, but of the most opposite description, and, few of the thousands who, see the dashing singer, his fancy suits of velvets and lace, or know him as the hard-working professor, would recog? nize tne quiet, gentle-minded man who, - in his few moments of spare time, cuts delicate designs on fragments of wood or goes off with his pretty'wife on long', walks in the country to find food fororig-. inal ideas. 1 . ? .n.^l ' l;?? A New York letter says: "Jay Gould's late visit to Washington had tyo objects in view.. One was to see about I his prospects for getting an equivalent - for the $75,000 which he advanced to carry Hayes into the White House, and the other to see whether he could .'fix things' with Congress on the railroad questions. It does not appear that he reached any satisfactory conclusion n either point. Hayes was to give his in? fluence in railroad legislation in return for the $75,000, but it seems that he is not willing to stand up to the bargain; and as to the House committees, Gould could not find one that he could count. on. Consequently he returned somewhat out of humor, but he won't give.it up yet; and,.in the case of the $75,000, he.^ means to get what he was promised or there will be trouble. It seems that Vand erbi 11 has grown tired of having his name coupled with that of Gould and. ? other gamblers, in connection with Wall street schemes, and he has published a letter denying that he is associated with them in any way. This is very, much to his credit. His father had a supreme contempt for the Gould crowd, and could not be induced to countenance them at all. The son will do well to follow the4 same course. The'Gould crowd is a bad lot, and also a dangerous one. It would certainly get some of Vanderbilt's mil-:^ lions if he gave it half a chance." ?
