Sunday Morning, December 12,1875.
Domestic Economy—How to Live
Cheaply and Save Something.
We publish this morning a most in
teresting article from the Courier-
Journal , detailing how a Chicago fami
ly managed to live comfortably on $lO
per week, and, avoiding debt, had saved
nearly enough money to buy a town
lot to build upon hereafter. If the
story be a true one, it is worth a ton
of theoretical sermons, and, in these
hard times, may convey a lesson of
substantial value to thousands whose
desperate struggle with the world is
how to make two ends meet on an in
oome twice as great as that men- j
tioned. The reader will observe that !
the history of the family is de- I
tailed by the brave, chatty wife, j
who, instead of repining at her lot and
blaming Providence, made her hus
band’s heart happy by her courage and
amiability, saved his money by her in
genious devices, and filled their apart
ments with such sunshine as rarely en
t „*s the abode of luxury or dissipation.
This we take it is the secret of success
with nearly all persons who have slen
der revenues, but good health and j
stout hearts. The woman of the fami
ly should, If possible, be amiable,
cheerful and content. If so, beastly
indeed would the man of the house be,
did he not earnestly, ardently and
good naturediy co-operate with the
bright, adroit and intrepid part
ner of his life. But a sullen,
discontented household can neither be
thrifty nor progressive. How much
better is it, instead of repining at one’s
lot and accusing heaven of injury, to
look around and, beholding the far
worse condition of myriads on the
globe’s surface, thank Gob that we
have so much more than worthier
people, and that, in spite of compara
tive poverty, many blessings remain
denied to those who have the material
gifts of wealth and little else beside.
Our homes are nearly always what we
choose to make them, and when the
wife is brave, GoD-fearing, tolerant,
prudent and even-tempered, our word
for it, millionaires might envy the
paradise such virtues diffuse around
them. Sorrows and trials will come,
to poor and rich alike; but when they
do come to a model home, however
indigent, their advent is robbed of half
their terrors by the angel of concord
and religion who guards a blessed
threshold, not wi th a sword of flame,
but a lily of purity.
In one of our recent articles, some
exception was taken to the statement
that the French woman is the pattern
of a wife. Of course, we did not mean
the French women such as Arsene
Houssaye and the Parisian sensualists
portray. The associations of such men
are vile, just as Gavarni’s are known to
have been, and so they have become li
belers of their country-women and a dis
grace to their age. If any one will read
Bllwer’s novel of the Parisians, Miss
Kavanagh's charming tales, or Madam
Augustus Craven’s Sister’s Story, such a
person will gain a correct insight of the
true French woman and her beautiful
life. There are, as in every other land,
exceptions. France has her female as
well as her male demons; but the large
majority of her women, especially those
of the provinces, are worthy of the
highest honor and reverence.
It has been conjectured, and with
truth, that the astonishing recupera
tion of France from her tremendous
woes and losses has been chiefly due to
the energy, management and thrift of
the female population. The New York
Times, wondering how a people so
down-trodden and neglected, as the
bulk of the nation was for nearly two
centuries, came to possess those do
mestic arts in which nations with far
greater advantages are so deficient,
solves the mystery by attributing the
greater glory to the women. The edi
tor says: “A French woman is not
merely a companion to her husband;
f-li© is literally and actually a help
mate. She will keep all the house
hold admirable accuracy,
and often his business books as well.
She will dress neatly and elegantly at
smaller cost {than a maid servant in
New York. She will thoroughly attend
to all household details, and be a mis
tress of the arts of the cuisine. And
all this, too, in a country where a due
provision at marriage is rigidly insist
ed cn, so that no prospect of penury
looms in the distance, and where for
tune is far less fluctuating than here.
For surely, if to-day we look around,
we see such a fall in values as no city
in Europe could show in the like time.
We have been for years in a condition
of profound peace, yet in the city of
New York real estate has In two years
fallen at least, thirty-three per cent.,
while in Brooklyn the depreciation has
been nearer fifty per cent. In fact,
property there is scarcely salable to
day.”
The same authority dwells upon the
imprudent and foolish marriages which
took place in days of false prosperity
and the rude awakening from dreams
of bliss which are now so common. The
contrast is faithfully delineated in this
puogent paragraph: “The ordinary
American girl who has been bred in ap
parent affluence, her father having
probably been living up to every cent
he has, has usually been taught next
to nothing of household thrift, and can
not, when necessity presses, accommo
date hemelf to narrow means. She has
a smattering of music and of French,
and plenty of very small talk, but to
instruct an ignorant servant in her
business, to be handy with her needle,
and clever in contriving those trifles of
uoholstei’y which serve to cover the
deficiencies of poorly-appointed rooms,
and to ci sate cheerfulness out of shab
biness—this is too seldom in her. And
bo it comes to pass that a poor Ameri
can home is apt to be depressing to the
wearied x|ian who returns to it t from
business. \ Nowhere is this neglect of
thorough domestic training more ap
parent th m in New England, where the
grossest ignorance of *en the first
principles of preparing palatable and |
digestible food, in which the French- s
woman is such an adept, dis
tinguishes all classes. Such knowl
edge would be worth at least half that
of the ologies and isms on which the
New England ladies pique themselves.
In New England hotels nothing is more
conspicuous than the absence of that
feminine element which, in France and
England directs and controls the house
hold. In these latter everyone asks
for the landlady. Here she scarcely
ever appears. She has, in fact, in com
mon with too many of her sex, abroga
ted some of her most important func
tions. This is the principal cause of
the abominably bad tables found in such
places. The landlord’s wife is too fine,
forsooth, to concern herself about such
matters. And in a higher class it is
frequently the same, although there
are admirable exceptions. They may
have servants, in plenty, but such ser
vants as we get here need an instruc- j
tive head over them, and few ladies j
have either the will or the ability to i
teach them. Not one in a hundred un
derstands how to make a good cook
out of a poor one, but in Europe that
process is frequent.”
It is apparent then that the glorious
rise of the French nation from German
defeat and destruction, civic war, loss
of territory and the legions of disaster
consequent upon invasion, may be, to
a remarkable degree, ascribed to the
wives and mothers of the land. TV hat
a blessed thing would It be for the
South if the same habits prevailed here
as are common to the French 1 We
have a nobler inheritance, and more
fruitful soil naturally, and almost, if
not quite, every material element for
wealth and happiness. Our people are,
in many respects, superior to other
nationalities, but there is, in both
sexes, a lamentable want of management
and lack of thrift. It is not pos
sible for a whole race to change sud
denly their characteristics and habits,
.but a beginning may be mace, and, in
spite of almost unexampled misfor
tunes, if the foundation for prosperity
be laid in Southern homes, each recur
ring year will contribute to make this
section finally the envy of the world.
Why Henderson Was Discharged.
The following extract from ex-Sena
tor Henderson’s speech, in the Avery
trial, is what roused Grant’s wrath and
Pierrepont’s bile :
Why does this man Douglass bend the
supple hinges of the knee and yield to the
President’s interference, or Hhat of his
private secretary? It was the duty of
Douglass to have carried out that order or
resigned his position. Would to God we
had more of that veteran stuff that for
merly animated Federal officers! Why
not leave an office when you can no longer
wield it with dignity and manhood? What
have we gained by the abolition of the
black man’s slavery if the white man is to
be substituted for him in the shackles and
chains of men a worse system of slavery.
If men would think for a moment they
would rather live in honored private life
than to possess all the glittering baubles
of public life bound down and overwhelm
ed with the corruption that now necessari
ly accompanies it. It Henry Clay had
never dune or said anything else than “ I
had rather be right than be President ”
that should immortalize him. But Doug
lass yielded to the power of Babcock and
the President’s interference. He was hon
est, I believe, but he was poor, and he felt
that his position depended upon his obey
ing the behests of those who had no right to
interfere with his duties.
Failing to apologize for this utter
ance, he has been dismissed as counsel,
but may gain the world’s applause.
| Grant should not be so sensitive. Old
; Frederick the Great laughed at such
I things. The President, by taking such
conspicuous notice of Mr. Henderson’s
remarks, has not helped himself, but
made a hero of his supposed adversary.
The friends of the dismissed counsel
will not fail to declare that
“MABCELiiUS exiled, more true rapture
Than Casar with the Senate at his heels.”
Mixed. —The World finds fault with
the President’s English as embodied in
the Message, and says: “He has not
altogether got over the habit of speak
ing of the United States with a singu
lar pronoun, but he so far remembers
former lessons of the World on that
theme as to use both singular and
plural forms. In one place he says
a certain policy ‘would draw the United
States into complications which it has
evaded long and suffered much to
avoid,” and afterwards he declares of
something else that it would ‘leave the
United States hewers of wood and
drawers of water.” On the whole, since
reading the President’s Message, we
are inclined to consider his views about
the necessity of a common-school edu
cation.”
Matrimonial. —The New York Sun
having advised all editors to marry,
one of the Courier-Journal staff retorts
in this wise: “As the average honest
drudge who makes his living in the
office of a public journal never goes
home except for his two meals 'or to
get a few hours sleep, and doesn’t have
any Sunday, this interpretation of the
Sun’s advice is ridiculous. The or
dinary journalist has no time to devote
to a family, and if he has one he must
neglect either his employers, who pay
him for his time, or his children, who
are entitled to his care, and such ne
glect is simply criminal. People who
consider only that part of the Bible
which seems to give them license to do
as they wish, and who listen to the
false theories of eminent medical
quacks, are always ready to misunder
stand everything that comes in their
way.”
Schenok A London paper speaks of
Miuister Scheack as “Col. Schenck.” For
merly they always called him General. A
few more Emma mine schemes, and they
will have reduced him to the ranks.—Cou
rier-Journal.
He is already so reduced, for his
“offense is rank and smells to heaven.”
9 il
Astor.— The New York millionaire
left very little, comparatively speaking,
to public or private charity. Perhaps
he thought charity began and ended
with his family.
Ferry. —lt is said that Vice-Presi
dent Ferry used to make shingles.
Mayhap that is the reason he has risen
to the top of the house.
Tart.— A well known individual is
alluded to by the Petersburg News as
“a banker, broker, coupon-dealer, bond
speculator, political: and religious ex
horter, and Tom Scott manipulator.”

The low rate of premiums, and the fact
that the Insurance is payable within the
ordinary period of life, makes it
The Most Desirable Form of
Policy Now Offered
the Public.
The premium is as low as t ! e usual life
premium where the insurance is payable
only at death, or the age of ninety, and
the time for payment of the insurance
ranges from the age of 61 to 73 years, or at
death if prior. This period may be short
ened at any time, at the option of the in
sured, by additional payments for that
purpose. ,
To illustrate the difference between this
plan and the usual endowments, the fol
lowing is sufficient:
In all Mutual Companies the ordinary
premium at age 41, payable at age 68, is
$42.75 per SI,OOO.
Tho premium on Endowment-Life-Rate
plan at age 41, payable at ago 68, is $32.47
per thousand dollars. Showing a saving
of Twenty-five per Cent, to the Policy
Holder.
Reasons for insuring on the
Endowment Life-Rate Plan:
Ist. It gives the Insurance at the lowest
possible cost.
2 C It provides for your family In case of
death.
3d. It provides for yourself in old age.
4th. There can be no loss. In case pre
miums should be discontinued, paid-up in
surance is given for the amount paid in
premiums.
sth. It is hotter than a savings bank.
The first premium paid secures a fortune,
and If payments are continued the accu
mulations and amount insured will be
much more than could be earned by the
most fortunate savings bank.
6th. It secures the amount at a stipulated
age, within the ordinary period of life: and
7th. By this means it is no longer neces
sary to “ die to win.”

INCREDULITY.
HOW potent Is this trait of the human
mind. The Bible refers to it and
says: “Were an angel to come down from
heaven, ye would not believe.” It is the
cause of much injury. We are disposed to
doubt the sincerity of our best friends, and
so far is it indulged, that io often leads to
misanthropy.
This is particularly applicable to the vir
tues of many truly valuable remedial
agents, however strong they may be en
dorsed.
Reader, if you have Dyspepsia, Fever
and Ague, Sick Headache, Torpid Liver,
Bilious Colic, Kidney Disease, Flatulence,
Constipation of tho Bowels or General De
bility, and hesitate to use Dr. Tutt’s Liver
Pills, write to him and he will furnish you
with hundreds of certificates from the
most reliable men and women in the coun
try, who have been cured by them, of whom
you can make direct inquiry. It will cost
you but a postage stamp. The proprietor
solicits the investigation of all wno need a
truly valuable medicine.
