CPje Constitutionalist AUGUSTA. C3--A.,: . 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.” MARRIED, At St. Patrick’s Church, on Tuesday, 7th inst., by Father Broune, Mr. T.

Low Premiums—Definite Con tracts. The Cotton States Life Insurance Com pany, of Macon. Ga., desirous of- meeting the demand of the insuring public for low rates, and contracts that can be under stood by all, offers the Endowment Life-Rate Policy, With confidence that an examination of the plan is all that is Decessary to commend It to the favor of all desiring insurance. This plan secures two objects: Ist. It provides for those dependent upon us in the event of death. 2d. It provides for our old age in case wo attain a stipulated age. 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.” Endowments at Life Rates.

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. 100 BALES CHIU KAMI IIAV, JUST RECEIVED AND FOR SALE BY ZS.
