Whit for Dinner ? Of the small annoyances of the household, there is none more worrying than the ever- recurring question, 44 What shall we have for dinner ? ” The scope of the edible ani mal and vegetable kingdom is, indeed, not bo restricted, bat the ordinary knowl edge and inventive faculties of oar house keepers and cooks are so limited that amidst all the abundance of Nature's supply of food they have rarely art and ingenuity enough to contrive and prepare a fresh dinner for each day in the week. Beef, veal and mntton suc ceed mutton, veal and beef week after week, until the palled appetite cries enough, and demands, with the accent of exhaustion, “What shall we have for dinner ?” To an swer this question satisfactorily should be regarded by every wife or housekeeper as one of the essential duties of her position. We here protest against the habitual X SHUTTING OF THE DINNER QUESTION by the wife—to whom it properly belongs to consider thoroughly and settle judicially—to the husband, who ought to have nothing more to do with it than enjoy the result and pay the cost Who$ can be more preposter ous than to ask a man replete with beef steak, eggs and buckwheat cakes, the question, “What shall we have lor dinner?” What, moreover, can be more impertinent than the intrusion of the prospective beef and podding npon the eager man of hardware or dry goods, whose imagination, with the first puff of his cigar, has already floated 44 down town” in advance of his own hasty foot steps, and has called up visions of the day’s competition for falling pig-iron or rising huckback. The provisioning of the household aod al contingent preparations are essentially, in a 1 private family, the woman’s duty, and she has no right to shirk it The various pleas by which she ordinarily ahiits to the already overburdened man of business a large part of her own especial work we are not disposed to admit. Our American women among the prosperous classes have already LITTLE ENOUGH TO DO Without calling npon their fathers and hus bands to help them to do that little. It is qoite evident that going to market, the gro cery, and huckster’s stand, testing the succu lence of tender loins, experimenting on the taste and odorousness of batter, and inspect ing the convolutions of a cabbage, are, or should be, functions of the wife, and not of the husband. The indolence of our fine wo men, or thoir false sense of the decorous, causes them, however, frequently to delegate these appropriate duties of their own to the man, to whom they are in every respect unbecoming. As a mere matter of economy, we would advise the wile not to trust to the husband the daily negotiations with butcher, grocer and huckster. He be ing presumed to be unacquainted with the art of preparations in all its complications, can hardly be supposed to be capable of judging of the varied adaptabilities of tbe raw A material. He does, undoubtedly, from his forced experience, learn to distinguish the high in price, and may thus generally secure by his liberal payments a fair quality of tbe kind he bnys; hot KNOWING NOTHING OF THE PROCESS of cookery, he cannot venture to purchase anything, the excellence of which is not guar anteed by its expensiveness. The skilled and thrifty cook will take the parings and leavings and concoct them into a more appetizing and nutritious repast than is possible with the less manageable and more costly mass for which the ignorant buyer has paid so heavily. We dare not presume, however, upon the kitchen knowledge of our wives. We have as yet much to hope for from them in regard to the improvement of our food, appetite aud di gestion. If, however, we cannot boldly pro nounce skill in cookery to be an attribute of our women, we have no hesitation in insist ing that it should be; noT need they all make scnilioos of themselves in the course of its acquisition. We do not doubt that much of the preva lent complaint of the expensiveness of tbe household is justly to be referred to the un satisfactory solution of the question, “What for dinner Y* TO SOLVE IT PROPERLY, and not only economy, but health aud com fort, demand that it should be so solved, re quires a knowledge of the essential qualities of edible products and a skilled experience in preparing them for food. Here is a scope wide enough lor tbe unoccupied faculties of our women, who are stretching out their hands, vainly demanding to be lilted to other spheres of duty, while they have within reach a neglected vocation which yields to cone in utility, and, when properly ful filled, to few in dignity. Science has a natu ral relation with this question of food, and even the strongest-minded woman might find in the study of the chemistry of the subject full exercise for her most vigorous faculties. The feeblest, moreover, might greatly increase her usefulness by devoting herself to the ob vious and easily acquired practical parts. With no doubt about its pertinency to tbe health end happiness of all, we call upon the women of the household everywhere diligent ly to study the subject, that they may be able to give a satisfactory answer to the question, What for dinner.—Ifearth and Home. The American Bar at the Fair- TRUTH ABOUT THE VIENNA FAIR —EXHORBITANT CHARGES FOR FANCY DRINKS—DELUDED BARTENDERS PENNILESS IN A FOREIGN Correspondence of tbe Boston Saturday Evening Express. In regard to the Exposition we have not much to say; one word expresses all—Ham- bog. We give such information not accessi ble to the American newspaper correspond ents. Take, for.instance, the American bar swindle. Boehm A Wheil, the proprietors, are German Jews from New York. Mr. Boehm himself says that he paid Mr. Van Buren $10,000 for the exclusive right for an Ameri can bar and restaurant. At present they have three bars—the Pavilion, opposite the American department and near an entrance; another in the rotunda, called the American Buffet; and still another near Strauss’baud, called the American Wigwam. The firm of B. A W. induced twenty-five gentlemen to go over to act as barkeepers, each and every one paying his own passage, they being in charge of one Israel Boehm. On board the steamer they fared well of course, beiog in the second cabin. On reach ing terra firms he acted his nature aod Jew characteristic out, nearly starving the boys— at one place even refusing to supply meals. He himself went to a hotel and got square meals, aod only on being lorced to it did he furnish tlie necessary food to the men. Up to July 9th they had not received their salary nor even the $100 due on their arrival for passage mooey, and they are now waiting for remittances from their friends in America to bring them home. The principal drink they sell is a sherry cobbler. It is made from manufactured ice, white as snow, with the following ingedients, Kashgar and Khiva. The Berlin correspondent of the London Daily News, writing under date of August 8, says: “It appears that the Kashgar Em bassy is makiug quite a sensation at St. Petersburg; but the press, though it has dis cussed the subject with mutual freedom, has not yet settled the degree of importance to be attached to it. Some time ago the Rnski Mir announced that the Embassy had brought an autograph letter from the Khan of the Czar, and was charged with the negotiation of a commercial treaty alone. Until recent ly this restricted view of the objects to the mission was generally accepted in Russia. But a few days since the Boersenzeitung published an article in which it was positively asserted that the Khan or Kashgar had sent the embassy to form a political alliance with the Czar, with a view to the ultimate incorpo ration of the Khanate into Russian territory. In support of this theory, that journal cited the fact that Kashgar had been trying for a gcod many years to do something of tbe sort. Up to the time ot the Khivan campaign the Khan had been on ill terms with the Rus sians, and he had sent four different deputa tions to Calcutta for the purpose of making friends of England. The result of Gen. Kauf man’s campaign, it is added, convinced him that the seat of sovereignty in Central Asia hod been transferred from England to Russia, and hence his efforts to conciliate the author ities at St. Petersburg. A correspondent of the National Zeitung seems to accept this enlarged theory of tbe mission, but will not admit that it is a result of the capture of Khiva. The Embassy, he says, has been eight months on the way, aud its departure so long ago could hardly have had any reference to tbe Khiva Expedition. This is, of course, a sufficient answer, so far as it goes; but, ou the other hand, it may be nrged that the Embassadors themselves have viz: Tumbler of fine ice, teaspoonful of auR*'. seen lit to enlarge tbe scope of their opera- tablespoonful of filthy sherry, manufacture* tions.

In acknowledgment of this mission the Khan sent a deputation to Taschkend to wait on Gen. Kautmann. The ored brethren in this magnificent swindle, and I must say that with the Vienna fair sex they were the principle objects of interest, in fact, quite favorites. Business slacking up a little, £hey discharged two of the aforesaid favor ites July 5, without funds enough to come home with.

We then ventured to ask him what his business was, and he answered that it was beyond our comprehen sion; and judging from the fact that Useless 8. G. seut him, we came to the conclusion that it was far beyond onr comprehension or that of anybody else. We next went to John Jay, our Minister, ana asked him if be could not send the boys home. He answered, “No, not if they were starving.” Don’t suppose he would help them even to the extent of a kreutzer out of his own pocket. Of course he needs all the Government fuuds for himself, even if his daughter did marry one of the cheap nobili ty. Come to think the mattei over, I am not surprised. As a general thing there is a good deal more title than the needful, which would justify a noble representative of a noble nation allowing its subjects in a foreign country to starve for the sake of a tew dollars to help support the necessary style befitting the aforesaid noble, etc. We next called upon the President of the Wheeler and Wilson Sewing Machine Compa ny, and stated the case. He immediately started a subscription, heading the list with a good sum: Jewett A Tracy, 25 florins; the Commissioner from Lowell, whom we found to be a perfect gentleman—we have forgotten his name—20 florins; a Mr. Kelley, 10 florins; Mr. Norton, 10 florins; Mr.Dowling 10 florins; and several of other gentlemen whose names I cannot remember now. The firm of Boehm A Wheil, not a red nor their salary. At last accounts they had obtained enough to come home by steerage. By the way, one of the men lives in Brooklyn, N. Y., and is worth about $12,000. In Van Buren we expected to find a per fect gentleman, but are sorry to say that we were sadly disappointed. Position is every thing, and I rather think V. B. thinks so, as since he has fallen his drinks are mixed with the poorest liquors; he patronizes B. A W., who show their natural instinct in their treat ment of him, although he had an interest in the Rotunda, the same consisting of what he wished to drink—in other words, free rum. We are disgusted; if we think we are tired and wish to sit down, it costs fifty krentzer for a cane-seat chair, twenty-five for a wooden chair, and ten for a settee, and every time you ask a “gevus” where a street is, five kreutzer.

The proceeding* Is the Tichborne cue on Aajrnet 11, seem* to have been particularly lively. The Deily Telegraph report aays: "A neceeearily dry summary esn give no notion of the torrent of inveotire which Dr. Keneely poared forth. Utterly regardless of the pres ence of the Bench, he addressed himself to the jury, and at Mr. Bawker, who sat un moved below him; he made no attempt to conceal hie meaning; he openly admitted that conspiracy and perjury were the logical effect of his eharges; aud once again, referring to . Lord Bellow’s . private life, be begged the jury to declare that the man who bad basely sedncod bis friend's wile was no worthy to be believed np on bis oath- A storm was evidently impend ing. In , few mum tee it burst. A reference to Chalillun—who seems to have been JUoger Ticbborse’s paidagoqux rather than strictly bu tutor—as ‘ a valet, ' drew trow the Lord Chief Justice the indignant remonstrance, • That is a most improper remark.' ■ I say it is s proper remark, said Dr. Xenealy.’ 'Isay it is net, air.' 'With aU^ubmisaion to your Lordship, 1 say it is. I do not wish for a dis cussion with your Lordship.' ■ Nor will I have a discussion with you,’ was the retort; ‘I have bad enough of them.' * It was a proper remark,' persisted Dr. Xenealy; 'it was my duty to make it.' ‘It is your duty,’severely interposed Ur. Justice Hellor, ‘to follow those roles which guide a gentleman in the performance of his doty.' 'I know a gentleman's conduct as well as you, my Lord,' cried Dr. Xenealy, swinging round toward Mr. Juslioe Uellor; ‘I beg you will not repeat that observation.’ ‘I repeat it,’ said Mr. Justice Mellor. ‘You shall not re peat it to me, my Lord,' called out Dr. Ken- ealy. ‘I will not allow you, sir,’ interrupted the Lord Chief Justice, ‘to addiess a member of the Bench in that tone.’ 'If a member of the Bench,’ cried Dr. Kenealy, ‘forgets his duty he must be properly rebuked.’ To the surpriso of all in court, the Lord Chief Jus tice, instead of ordering Dr. Kenealy’s com mittal, repeated, ‘Y'ou shall not speak to the Bench in that way, sir;’ and, as if he were actually trying to drive his Lordship to com mit him. Dr. Kenealy again retorted that his remarks were ‘called for.' ’I say you shall not eddress them to mo, sir,’ was the reply. |I address than to you, gentlemen of tho jury,’ said the learned counsel, turning round toward the ‘sheep ptu;’ and so ended this extraordinary altercation.” Lynch Law in Arizona. A special dispatch to tbe San Frnnciscg Bulletin, from San Diego, gives the followino account of the lynching of four men in Tucson, Arizona; “On midnight of Wednes day Vicente Hernandez, otherwise known as ‘Piedras Negras,’ pawnbroker, and his wife, were murdered by having their skulls crushed in with a club and jugular veins cut with a knife. During the day $900 reward was sub scribed by the citizens. Six men were arrest ed on suspicion. The citizens believing them to be criminals, proceeded to extort a con fession. The principal murderer, a Mexican named Leonardo Cordova, confessed, fully exposing his associates, one of whom subsequently confessed. The three were compelled to disclose the hiding-place of the plunder. Next morning a settled de termination was expressed to hang the mur derers of Hernandez and wife, and also bang John Willis, who killed Robert Swope at San ford, in November, 1879, and indicted there for in March, 1872. Tbe trial was postponed till May, when he was found guilty of mur der in tti- first degree, and ordered to be hung. The case was appealed to the Su preme Court. The arrangements were com pleted n*xt morning. Two post*, forked at the lop, were planted in tbe ground near the jail door, and upon them was placed a stiff pole about twelve feet in length. To this -pole four ropes were fastened, with nooses to each, and two wagons were drawn beneath. The Catholic priest, desiring to give consola tion to the doomed men, was given tbe time desired. The lour men, John Willis, Leon ardo Cordova,’ Clement* Lopez, Jesus Saqua- rfpa, were brought out; of jail with bandages over their eyes, put in the wagons, the ropes adjusted to their necks, wagons drawn out and all four hung side by aide. A coronea’s inquest was held, and a verdict rendered that John Willia, Leonardo Cordova, Clemente Lopez, and Jesus baquaripa were hung by the people of Tucson en masse, in view of the terrible crimes and murders committed, and the tardiness of justice—the inevitable result of allowing criminals to escape the penalties oi their crimes. ” A Baltimobe Episode.—The Baltimore American tells the following little story; “An incident occurred iu this city on Saturday evening, iu the vicinity of the post-office, which forcibly illustrates the danger of form ing conclusions without proper investigation. A German woman, residing iu East Baltimore, had written a letter to her husband, and, ac companied by her two children, had started out to find the post-office. Not being familiar with tbe locality, they turned into Exchange Place instead of Second street, which brougfit them to tbe rear entrance to the post-office. A colored boy was standing in the passage way between the post-office and Ballard's saloon, and seeing him, the woman told her daughter, a girl about fourteen years of age to take the letter and ask him if that was the post- office. She ran up the steps, spoke to him, and instantly both of them disappeared iu the dark pussage. This was about 7;4o p. m. It waa quite dark, and rain was falling. The mother waited outside a few minutes, but the child did not return. She became alarm ed, and told her fears to some gentlemen who happened to be passing at the time. Iu a few minutes a orowd had gathered, and every body was of the opinion that a horrible out rage had been committed. Policemen went into the passage way, explored all the laby- rinthian branches that lead from it, as well as all tbe rooms iu the house through which it runs, but found nobody. The crowd be came excited, and if the police had caught a colored boy in the passage-way or in the house, he might have been lynched on the spot. The distressed mother, accompanied byaSergeaut of Police, went home and found her child. The mystery was soon solved. The girl had asked the colored boy about the post-office, and he told her to pass through the alley to S cond street, and went along with her to show her where to drop the letter. When she came out of tbe office Bhe found that she was iu a strange street, aud not being able to find her mother she went home. Fortunately tor the colored boy, instead of returning to the pas sage-way, he Btrolled off in some other direc tion, and missed the indignant crowd that had tried and condemned him ou first im pression."

The son, on ac count ot whose supposed complicity in Mr. Lincoln's assassination she was alone sus pected of having a criminal knowledge of that deed of Bhame, has been since acquitted. This female was tried ; was never regularly defended; her eminent counsel, for reasons satisfactory to binuelf, had withdrawn from the case, after entering bis formal protest against her trial. She was convicted. The court earnestly recommended the poor wretch to the mercy of an American President. Every President from Washington to Grant, inclusive, would have pardoned bet, I am sure, without tbe least hesitation. She was not pardoned. The doors of the White House were deliberately closed to all applica tions for clemency. The beautiful and inno cent daughter of the unhappy victim allowed evm to enter the portals of the Ex ecutive Ma sion in order to kneel before the more than Brutus-like President oi a free i, while she should plead, with uplifted aud <lown»Bireaming eyes, for mother's life.
