E. F. Mar tin to be one of “the most thorough pointed and logical discussions of Inde pendentism during the recent legisla tive campaign.” Said lie “it is uncom moil to see an editorial M so much force, study and labor in one of our county pa pers.” On the same line of thought Capt. R. 11. Allen delivered himself as follows: “It was the best blow made for democracy and against inde pendentism as far as I have seen, it sur passed everything and just suited me, the subject was handled in a manly, courageous and matter-of-fact-manner In my judgment it was a death knell to independentism and its twin-brother Barrettism in Pike county.” The course f the Gazette during the late canvass has been very gratifying to its friends who have so closely watched its conduct and the line of its influence, because at a perilous moment things were called by plain names, its policy out-spokeu, in its counsels, the masses found a true leader of popular opinion and an open uncompromising foe to the enemies of its party.

I hesitated to say anything of my do mestic life lest I be misunderstood,and had no intention of drawing a painful contrast. Knew my little article contained nothing but a few simple suggestions. lam quite willing to be ridiculed, about my ideas of “domestic bliss,” confessing to a good deal of sentiment in my nature, and the retention still of some school girl ideas of “moonlight, music, love and flowers.” If my strong minded sisters consider it a woman’s weakness, so mote it be. In reply to the query, have I ever done my own cooking? i have been very fortunate in always having help but have cooked occasionally, and am happy to state that waves and flowers flourish even in so warm a temperature while the smiles and encouragemet of my husband re main in tact under so fiery an ordeal.

Sympathizer. For the Fj l '- Potter’s Sfflßon to^Tomen. Mr. Editor: * Dr. Potter’s sermon on last Sabbath morning in the Methodist Church, on Luke Ylll—3rd verse, seemed to intet est the men a,s much as the class io which it was particularly addressed. Many of his “tongue-shots” (which are as penetrating as his “pen-shots)” seem* Mr l to take remarkable effect in provok ing thought, and also in touching a tender chord in many female hearts, that are ready to furst with the instinct of (jiving but with little or no means of gratifvingthe instinct, becatfse, of the penuriousness of the family Treasurer. One small de%at of the sermon was t he failure on the part of the preacher to tell the wo An the method by which Mrs- ChuziPsucceeded in getting from Mr. Chuza enough money to accomplish so much toward maintaining Christ and his Apostles. There is no evidence that Mr. Chuza was a disciple, or felt much interest in his wife’s disciplesliip or that he was very open-handed. Xo doubt many ladies of Dr. Potter's au dience “hoped to the end” that he would suggest the methed by which the godly and generous Mrs. Cknza got her hands so down into tie pockets of her Taking all the risks of a shot inthe twilight, I will venture ink the broad field of Biblical expositioil •Chuza, the record tells us, was Herod’s* steward (housekeeper) and as was al had a definite sum allowed him for the maintenance of the royaUiousehold. Mrs. Chuza doubtless carried the keys and she could by prudenc*and econo my find a considerable mas|i for pro fits in the generous allowance n%ulc by king Herod for the support of L*s fami ly. Those proliits were rightfully hers, to be disposed of according- to her “own sweet will;” and added to what she felt inclined to save by little acts of per sonal self denial, would make in the ag gregate a considerable sum. True, site was a lady —as every Christian woman is—and considered wliat was proper for her wardrobe; but it .would not be a wild conjecture to affirm that she spent nothing for fashionable follies—every thing for propriety but nothing for per sonal vanity. In this way she obtained the means' of gratifying her heart’s earnest longing to minister to the nec essities of the homeless Redeemer and his Apostles. DidM>t her delicate spit ited insight teach Tier that those offer ings which were the result of personal self-denial were the most .precious in the judgment of Him who tloquently commended the poor widow’s offering of two mites ? But my pen is running wild. It was only intended by this article to corn rnommend to the true and honest hearts of both sexes the precious jewels of truth contained in Me sermon, and to show one way by wmch even the hum blest and poorest may “minister to Christ of their* substance.” The ser mon ought to be published; and there is one five dollar bill waiting to joinoth er dollars to accomplish it. Jack O’Lantkrn. Dear Sisters— l am afraid we have a ’’white elephant” on our hands in this last subject of discussion, and if you will all kindly permit me to say so, I think you are all wrong. I think the sympathetic words from “Beatrice Xo. 1” and “Sympathizer” came from warm hearts and were all right so far as such words can help such a case. I think “Talker” and “Mrs. H. S.” were a lit tle too severe in their insinuations against the other sex to givo unpreju-# diced advice. In fact it is just like ev erything else in life. Every man and woman in the world seems to think he or she can other man or woman’s perfection. Don't you know that evffybody thinks every body else mismanages their children if they happen to be bad or go astray? And is it not so of everything else? I don’t believe that there are any two men on earth alike in their natures and disposi tions and if it is so, of coarse Ihere are no two husbands alike, consequently they can’t be managed alike. course it is a fact well understood among the members of this Department that hus bands do have to be managed and their successful management is a very im portant part of domestic economy; but it is my firm conviction that every wo man must find out for herself and by personal experience just what is neces sary to success in this matter. N o wo man ever knwvs a man’s disposition ’till she lives with him so do girl need be seek ing she shall “Determined,” but I will simply say that iiiy husband lias moping spells, and if you want to know what I do, why ! just let him mope. It has been my ob servation of people generally that every, body has to work off surplus feeling some way. Some people talk it off, some sing it off, some have hysterics and laugh and cry too, others cry and pout, some fight, some scribble for the press, others run off from home awhihj Ac., and if it is the my husband's nature to mope shall he not mope? “Determined” catiM you see it that way? He is just as ;i3 ever when the spell is over, sonH times better, so it is getting to be qufl as a matter of course with me. Was it who wanted tV know how to make rick-rack? I an™ just learning and think I will be able to write out simple directions next week if she has not already had them. This I am learning to make is sis wide as your hand, and is a very showy and durable trimming. Now, Talker what do you want to get after me about my l^byfor? I think the pour little helpless creatures need all the attentiongtlfty can get. But I will say mine does not cause Mno to neglect my husband for he (|s good enough to help me with it, so that lean look after him too. Why did you hot answer Sty question about the flannel underwear instead of lecturing me? I ! believe you are disposed to scold young folks a little anyhow, are’nt you now? I never supposed you to be a man, but! know the author of that charming little poem signed I. D. S. is a man and a nice one too. Sympathizer l do hope you don't intend to bid us adieu for. any length of time. And I hope you will withdraw your resolution not to write those additional letters to Beatrice or Determined. Some of us lik our sen timental inclinations very iSffii and would like to hear more of your sunny, love-lighted home. For my part 1 enjoy hearing from all the sisters, and aril sor ry when some of them are so long si lent. IVhat has become of our swMt |pirited trio “Faith,” “Hope and Ch ty?” "Will they not let us.hear from th(#u again? In looking back and think ing of those who wrote to us so long ago, I wonder if “Janet” is still wrest ling with the cook question, and if Mrs. 11. P. is still successful with her chick ens. Does Winnie Winn find her whole time absorbed i# using her “limber twig” that we cannot hear from her? I can’t imagine what is the matter with “Elizabeth.” She seemed to be such an expert housekeeper that I hoped to geti much useful information from her let ters, and she has disappointed me by being silent for months, wliat is it sister Elizabeth? Peggy. For The Hduseholrl: In the last issue of the Gazette we promised to invade the Household De partment with a view to telling “Mrs. H. S. ” and “Talker” why it was we gave no space in one issue for House hold contributions. We can but be say that nothing was I'itr will “Mrs. H. S.’’ and “Talker” both of both graphic and tvMchaiWjlades, when they will so to do, feel that they have been hasty in their strictures bn us for our politic al zeal? We feel that we did no more than a true patriot, a'provident husband and a watchful father should and would do under the circumstances. Everyfgen tleman, and we do_not feel that we would be wrong if we should say every lady, should take a lively interest in phi itics. Political parties make legisla tures. Legislators make our law's. Our laws protect “Mrs. H. S.” and “Tal ker.” Then w r e feel justified in the ac tive interest we manifested. We do not intend in asserting this justifica tion to raise an issue with either of these elegant contributors to the House hold. On the contrary we absolutely do not intend to engage in any conflict if they w r ere to offer battle. We have never had much inclination to battle with a foe that w r e feared, In this connection w feel disposed to offer some thoughts for the ladies of the Household, and especially to “Tal ker” who was so pungent in her last reference to office-holding, by man, and to “Beatrice Xo. 2” or “Determined” as she last signed herself. We can ex- for the little display of resentment, at being called a man. Man may be an office-holder in any po sition from the chief magistracy of the nation down to that of the humblest police justice; but man can never be the lady of the house. In her sphere the lady of the house is supreme. She is more than king. She is queen. She is more than autocrat. She is the supreme dispenser of the happiness or misery of the househ4d. She rules either in the graceful majesty of a living and con siderate soul, or with the malevolent malediction of a scorpion. She is eith er an angel.of light, or a vixen, accord ing to her jhysieal and mental make up. According to what she says and the way she says it the family are lit up with sunshine or enshrouded in cl ouds of sulky gloom. Xot every woman is aware of it, yet it is no less a fact that a woman can do almost anything she pleases in ruling the man who may happen to have the honor of being her husband. There I s an indescribable a§d boundless charm* in the cherry voice of a true woman just as there is in her appearance. She may T#t be arrayed in costly garments or even clad in the latest fashions and yet may have power by a look or a w ord to subdue the unruly passions of an eviT and fiery man. But the woman who expects to rule and subdue by unpleas antly asserting her intention do so makes a sorrowful failure of the at tempt. She who neglects husband and children or greets them with cold for mality and expects cheerful tiou in return will bo dssa^ppiirte<B||g ; 1 • A i M ■ m JJ ■ VSM ■ A f e ’***" Dallas cation !
