An Educated Housekeeper's View.

"What are you studying aslcod a young man of a friend who was taking her last, year's Rchooling at the academy. "Tho common branches, philosophy, chomisty, rhetoric and natural philosophy," was the reply. "What on. earth will you do with ao much learning in farmer' 's kitchen, exclaimed ho, naming a worthy man to whom eho wasbothroth-ed. "I'm afraid that you'll find yourself so well fitted for some other sphere, that your education will bo a discomfort rather than, a source of happiness." Tho answor given to this provod that tho young lady possessed an -Educated mind as well as book learning.

ISbo said, "How littlo you know nbout Louokveplng. You talk as though it was like turning a grindstone or walking on a treadmill, needing only plenty of muscle, and the loss brains to make ono easy, the hotter. Why, my mistaken young friend, there's morouim for scienco and thought andsJli in managing a houshold properly, than you'll ever find in your dry goods storo, with a bank and grist mill thrown in. It requires philosophy to properly build a lire, wash clothes, sweep a room, Tcutillato an apartment, regulate a clock, and a hundred other matters you nevor dreamed of. Cooking is tho cvery-day application of chemistry.

A woman can boat and mix up provisions without knowing anything about it but art but sho can make better broad, broil or boil more nicely, put this and that together in her puddings, pies, and cakes, with great success, if sho knew tho uhj as well as tho how. Then, what is a poor, broken down wife good for Philosophy teaches us how to keep health in tho fnmily and then when wo havo finished tho day's work, having applied science all the way through, we shall want to look over tho papers and books which toll us what the re6t of the world is thinking about; and then don't you seo how nicely somo little knowledge of lel'ci letters and tho law of mind will como in A higher sphere, indoed If those who are so anxious to fill a largo place would only take pains to make tho place they are now in what it might bo, depend upon it, there would bo moro comfort and loss'eomplaints, both from themselves and those depending upon them. I intend to elevate my work to my own level" A Boar lory. The Sacramento L'nion gives this account of a recent advonturo with JJruin Ilarkness, and Frank Simms while on a short hunting excursia near their hay ranch, fourteen ratios wast of Lako Tahoe, on June 30th, camo in contact with a largo grizzly bear. IIo was first seen by Ilarkness, and was about forty yards distant.

This proximity to so largo a boast was a littlo startling, and provented tho huntor shooting with his usual accuracy. lie had a few days beforo put a ball through the heart of a boar at tho distance of1 ono hundred and fifty yards but this timo tho ball struck a little above tho heart and only enraged the animal instead of killing him. The brute in his agony mado rapid time toward his Assailant, who stood his ground, considering what was bott to be done under tho peculiar and unpleasant circumstances. When within striking distanco tho bear reared upon his foet and seomed to oftcr a fair stand-up fisticuff, in accordance with tho rules of tho ring. This chivalrous challenge was met by tho hunter, thrusting tho barrol of his riUo a foot or moro down tho bear's throaty While Uruin was in the act of resenting this insult by smashing the stock of the riflo and marking the barrel with his teeth, tho huntor after a little reflection thought it prudent to retreat.

At this critical juncturo Simms, an old and firm nerved hunter who was about seventy-five yards distant lodged another ball in the body of the beast, who immediately turnod and mado a plungo toward the report of his riflo. Simms dodged behind a trca and the bear went forward, evidently without seeing him. Although mortally woundod the animal escaped down the mountain through the thick underwood and granite boulders. An enthusiastic sportsman says that "the most exquisite 6cosation of which this mortal frnmo is susceptible" is caused by the first tug of a 6almon, In Munich, it is tho custom whonftver a gentleman goes into shop to buy anything, for his to take of his nat, and koep it off until his purchases-are corf.plttfd. Lincoln Accused of Preparing for Civil War in tho North.

One of tho most significant paragraphs in the very able protest of Senator Wadk and lion. llEsnr Wixtku Davis, against tho usurpations of Mr. Lincoln, in his establishment, against a law of Congros, of an autocracy over the socedod States is tho following: "The Trosident, by preventing this bill from becoming a law, holds the eloctorial votes of tho rebol States at the dictation of his personal ambition. "If thoso votes turn the balancfl in his favor, is it to bo supposed that his competitor, defeated by such means, will acnuiese "If the rebel majority assorts their supremacy in those Statos, and send votes which will elect an enemy of tho Government, will wo not repel his claims "And is not that civil war for the presidency inaugurated by votes from tho rebel States This is a gravo warning to the country, from two of the President's leading supportors, that ho contemplates electing himself by fraud, or when fairly beaten in the loyal Statos, that he will refuse to abdicate his authority. That there- is justico in this accusation, millions of the people believe for such havo been hia daring usurpations, his contemptuous disregard of all laws and Constitutions, that there is no possible crime that is likely to deter lam from the gratification of his personal ambition.

Tho mock State organizations in tho secoded States wero not allowed to vote even in the convention that nominated him and their votes will bo indignantly rejected at the election, if ho prcsuinos to offer them. If Mr. Lincoln is beaten in the great States that adhero to the Union, out of office lie must go. Tho game and conspiracy of neutralizing their votes by protended elections in the rebel States, will nevor be peacefully submitted to and if persisted in will deluge tho. land in blood, in civil war for the rresldon-cy.

Cincinnati Enquirer. IIow Tho Thing Is To Be Dono. Wo stated a day or two since, as a warning to our Democrats, our belief that Lincoln would prorol out-Ireals among tho people, that they might bo used as pretexts for employing military power, to intimidate voters, and hereby securo tho eloction of the Baltimore nominees. We find in the last dispatch of the Washington correspondent of the New York Herald tho following "A prominent gentleman from your State, conversing this morning with a personage of very exalted official station, expressed his apprehensions that any attempt to enforce the draft in New York City would bo followed by a riot of the most formidable and destructive character a riot to which that of July, 18G3, would bo a tnero child's play. Jla! responded tho official, rubbing his lean hands togcth-and smiling as if tho idea pleased him, 'let them only try it sir, and seo how tho plan will work.

Why, sir, a riot that would lay Now York City in ashes would elect the Republican ticket so easy that no other party would know it had a candidato What can this moan Is an anti-draft riot to bo provoked for New York, for the solo purpose of continuing in office tho present incapable Chief Magistrate Wo do not credit that any plan 60 diabolical can bo in contemplation." The Administration will, in our opinion, 6top at no act, however diabolical, to carry tho November election. Tho poople, thereforo, that hope, by the old American mode of redressing grievances, viz through tho ballot boxes, to produco a chango in tho Administration, (should bo on Iheir guard against being provoked into an outbreak, by anything Lincoln Co. may do previous to the election. Tho only salvation of tho country is in a change of rulors and tho chanco now afforded of making that chango in a legal way, should not bo imperiled by violent action on tho part of the people. You havo sufferod so long, suffer a little whilo longer.

Bo patient, enduring, for a better day wul soon dawn. Cincinnati Enquirer. The Overland TELr.oaArn to lirssi t. Amid the bustlo of war a work of civilization has been steadily growing. Tho telegraphic project to unito tho United Stfttos with Itustia has entered into the stngo of real work tho last impediments havo been ovcrcomo, and and now Mr.

Collins, conjointly with tho Western Union Telegraph Company, has already'jbegun tho work. Four ships havo been chartered and freighted with tho telegraph wiro, implements, provisions, tents, and will soon start for Saii Francisco, sailing round Capo Horn. This fall tho fleet will reach San Francisco. Tho government of tho United States has detailed a man-of-war for the purpose of holping tho company. Four exploring parties will bo left respectively at New Wesminisfer, Frazer river, Point Desolation, on the lino between British and Russian America, Sithka, the capitol of Russian America, and at Cook's Inlet.

Thcso parties are to explore tho coast if possible, obtain all tho tim-bor wanted, and prepare tho ground for next Spring's work, Mr. Colling hopes that in two years from autumn the two continents wil be uuited. Tho capital of ton millions of dollars for this trans-continental lino has been subscribed iu tho Unitod Hates, and tho Russian government builds on its own account tho lino from Petersburg to Nikolaof, on tho Amoor. Tho lino has already reached Chita, a town situated at the confluence of the Shika and Erion, the beginning of tho Amoor. World.

It appears from the following decision of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, that vessel owners cannot chargo on thoir freight bills the 12 per cent, tar, although they can collect on faro of passengers "The owners or agenfo of vessels or canal boats do not appear under section 103 authorized to charge in their freight bills the 2 per cent, tax in addition to tho amount agreed upon for freight. Tho word "faro" in tho act cannot properly bo construed to in-includo freight. The same equity which induced the enactment in the provision as to fare, would soern to apply equally to freight, and it may have been by accident that the proviso iu favor of tho transporter was not made to include both objects.

But they cannot undertako to supply by construction omissions in an act of Congress. Faro is an entirely difformt subject from freight, and cannot bo interpreted by any reasonable latitudo of conitruction to include it. The Natchez, (Miss.) Courier of tho 29th relates a queer case-of insanity at the Variola hospital, near that city. A soldier had been for a long time sick with tho small pox, but had nearly recovered when ho was confined again with the erysipolas. A fit of insanity came over the man, and while thus suffering he throw himself into a newly dug grave in the hospital burial ground, which contained a foot and a half of water.

Somo timo after ho was discovered by a Imssor-by and taken out nearly dead. Io was properly cared for and 60on recovored, not only from tho effects of his immersion, but also from his long and tedious sickness. Tho reaction produced by his attempt at suicide proved his salvation. Must Mekt tub -Question's in the End; Just after taking tho oath of offico and becoming President, Lincoln said to the people of the country; "Kuppnaa you go ta Tivr, you C3Unot "fight always and when, after much "loss on both sides, and uo gain en "either, you cease fighting, the question as to terms of intercourse are upon you." What a pity Lincoln did not read his own Inaugural boforo ho sent his Private Secretary to tell the robels that the ulavery question is settled. Fat peoplo may now breatho moro froely.

Dr. Eupurc, of Ijondon, assures tho public that by using his remedy of Fucus Fosiculosus, they may become shapely and get rid of their superfluous flesh. IT is remedy is nothing moro or less than a sea weed, used in the manufacture of kelp, and common on sea coasts strango to say, howevor, that this very Fucus is foil iu the Scottish Islands to hordes cattle and sheep, to keep them in flesh during tho winter months, and so also in Norway. New Stea boat Rocte. Tho steamer "Bonnie Boat" is to commenco her trips, on or about tho 10th of September, between East Saginaw aiid "Alabaster," tho new plaster bods and factories this sido of Tawas city.

Tho enterprising proprietors aro now developing theso plaster beds and putting them into commercial intercourse with tho lako and river towns. The Bonnie Boat is a steamer of 132 tons, (noarly ns largo as tho Ariel.) She is expected to make two trips a week to Alabaster and ono to Alpena. Enterprise. Not So. There is a prevailing impression that the President and Vice President cannot both bo taken from the samo State.

This is an error. It appears by the constitution that the only State that can not voto for it i3 tho one whero both roside. All tho other States can vote and elect. It would be perfectly legal, for instance, to elect Filniore President, and Cochrane Vice President, although both livo in New York. Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Pbesident'h Consistency. "Tho Democratic press is just now busying itself in trying to prove the inconsistency of Mr. Lincoln." St. Louis Ikmocrat. Our co temporary is mistaken.

Tho Democratic press would no moro attempt to provo Lincoln ineonsitent than they would enter into an argument to show that tho Devil is not a saint that the negro is gonerally a blnck mail- that tho Abolitionist? destroyed tho Union, or any other incontrovertible fact. Tho Layfuyette (Indiana) Courier speaks of Ex-President Bucnanau as "a whito livored bastard." Wo think this elegant phrase moro justly applies to the President who entered Washington City in tho disguise of a Scotch plaid cloak, and who left his wife and family to come on a railroad train that ho understood was to be thrown off the track. A. Ward says If I am draftad, I shall resign. Deeply grateful for the unexpected honor thus conferred upon mo, I shall be compelled to resign the position in favor of somo more worthy person.

Modesty what ails mo. That's what keops mo under. There are OSO tenamsnt houses in New York, which contain by actual count, 10,933 fvmalies, or about 05 persons each 71 others which cover 140 each, and finally, 29 mutt bo the most profitable which have a final population of no less than souls, or 187 to each bouse. Not only dovs death beautify our lifeloes forms, but tho thought of it gives a moro beautiful expression evon I in life, as a rosemary is both 'placed ns a chnplet on tho brows of tho dead, and fjives lifo to the fainting by its vivifying essence. It seems strange that death, like crimital courts, cites the apoplectic threo times.
