COMPLETE SUCCESS OF THE CABLE Four Thousand Words Transmitted In One Day Explanation of Last Night's Commercial Des patchesLatest Dates Resolved on Mon day at Noon TheTarlrTof Charges. Nsw Yobk. Julv 91. The first business meg sage to the Associated Press was received over the cable from London at 1 '60 A. M., to-day, Tuesday, (it was published In the Philadelphia morale? Diners.) ThprW-f eotton lld u tbe Liverpool market of the 28th, Is doubtless that of mid dling uplands, rather than middling Orleans. The grade quoted Is not stated In the despatch, but as middling uplands have been almost uni formly given when he price of one description alone was reported at Is probably the description referred to. We are informed by General LcfTerts, engineer of the Atlantic Cable Company, that the company has not yet fully decided upon the subject of telegraphic charges lorbupincss between Londou and New York, and will not until it shall have been aeflnltely ascertained at what rates of speed it is possible to signalize through the cable a point which, General Lefferts informs us, may not be decided for several days. Meantime various messages are being trans mitted over the cable from Europe, probably subject to future decision in regard to tariff, etc The la test London dates to private parties In this city are to Monday forenoon. Four thou sand words were transmitted through the cable in twelve hours, on the 28th instant. The rates of tarifT decided upon last year were as follows: TwcDty guineas for each mes sage of twenty words or less, not exceeding one hundred letters, and twenty shillings sterling for each additional word, from London to Now York, counting the date, address, and signature as part ot the message. It is very probable, we understand, that the same rates will be fixed on for the present year. Extract from ti Jonrnsl of the "tire EaNteiu." Ahpy Bay, July 30. Mr. Dean, the Secretary, having refused copies ot the journal to the mem bers of the press, 1 have cleaned the following from passengers on board : July 27, 4 "20 P. M. The Terrible is firing a salute. Cheers from ship and shore. The cable is on shore. 4'3S. End of cable put through the telegraph house and window. Tremendous cheers by tno British tars who carried it ou shore. .SECOND DESPATCH. Heart's Content, July 28, via Aspy Bay, July 30. The following are extracts irom the Journal of the Great Lantern : All went well until 1220 on the 18th (Green wich time), when the first real shock was given to the success that has hitherto attended us, and this time we had real cause to be alarmed. A foul flake took place in the aftertank. The en pine was immediately turned astern, atd the paying ot the cable stopped. We were ail soon on the decks, and learned that the mnning and paying out ot the coil had caught three turns of the flake immediately under it, carried them into the eye ot the coil, fouling tun tov-out and hauling up one-half turns trora the outside, aud five turns oi the eye of the under flakes. This was stopped, fortunately, betore entering the paying-out machiiits; stoppers ot hemp with chains were also put on near the wheel astern, aud Mr. Canuinir gave orders to staDd by to let go the buoy. This was not very cheering to hear: but, though the calm and collected man gave us contidence that his skill and experience would extricate the cable from the danger in which it was placed, no (Inking line was ever entangled more than the rope when thrust up in apparently hopeless danger from the eye of the cable to ihe deck. There was at least 5000 feel ol rope Ijing in this state, aud in the midst of the rain and increasing wiud tho cable crew set lo wort to disentangle it. The Boiphin was there, too, patiently follow ing the lights as 'hey showed themselves, ihe crew now passing them forward and now aft, until at lust tbe character ol the tangle was seen, and soon it became apparent thm ere long the cable wou)d be javed and uninjured down to the tank. Captaiu Anderson was at the ta (Trail, anxiously watching the strain on the rope (we could scarcely make it out, the nieht was so dark), endeavorinir to keep it up aud down, going on raisinar with paddle and screw. When one reflects for a moment uaou the rise of the ship and the enormous miis she pre scuted to the wind, the difficulty of keeping her stern, under the circumstances, over the cable can be appiebended. The port paddle-wheel was disconLected, but altcrwards there was a shitt ot wind, and the vessel came to the wrong way. Welcome voices were now heard passing the word alt from the tank that the heights were cleared, and to pav out. Then the huge stoopcrs were quietly openel, and at 205 A. M., to the joy of all, we were once more discharging the cable. They veered it away in the tank lo clear the screw, and the paddle-enginea were slowed so as to reduce the speed ol the ship to four and a half knots. During all this critical time there was entire absence of noise and confusi n. Everything was silently done, and the cable men and crew worked with hearty good-will. nr. canning nas uaa experienced tout nakes belore, and showed that he Knew what to do in tUe eu.ergency; but what of the electrical con dition ot tne cable during this period? Simply that through its entire length it Is perfect. JL Bfeaaage from Mr. field American 4 latin on the British Government. Valbntia, 2-53 P. M. Stuart to Field Con gratulate you and your fellow-citizens on your complete success. Are you in satisfactory elec trical communication with New Yore and other cities 7 How soon are you likely to be so? Valentia, 27th July. Stuart and Glass to Field: We Intend opening the line to the pub lic to-morrow morning, and so place beyond question all parties on equal fooling. Friday NionT. In the House of Commons on Monday night Lord Stanley said the Cabinet were anxious to remove any irritation arising out of any cases connected with the war between the North and the South. If the claims were presented by the American Cabinet, the Enelish Government intended to issue a royal commission to inquire into the neu trality laws, and, if possible, to revise them. Completion of tho Work The Shore End Laid and the luntruujula Attached on tbe 27th instant TUe Line net ween the two Continent wow Perfected. Heart's Content, July 27. The route of the shore end from the Med way to ihe land at tachment is now marked out, and men are engaged in digging an earth canal leading from the wharl to the telegraph house. All the unemployed men In tbe villaee have been p.es-ed tuto the service, and are now working with a will. The officials who are to have charge of the Atlantic Telegraph have takpn possession ot the branch offlce ot the telegraph office, an I are now adjusting their instruments preparatory to sending messages from Newfoundland to Europe. Cyrus W. Field has lecelvcd the congratula tions of the whole village, ana Is still under going a very vigorous handshaking. The Medway came to anchor opposite the tele graph office about ten minute before 2 P. M.j when a hawser was attached, and four small boat), manned by powerful crews, com menced hauling the heavy shore end to its point of attachment with the land. During this operation, Captain Anderson, of tbe Great Eastern ; William Canning, and iwv.r.1 nt.hir gentlemen, left the Medway lor the purpose of The shore end was safely landed amid a scene of the greatest excitement, tbe people cheering lustily and the sailors fighting among them selves lor the honor of dragging the massive wire on shore. The end was lately brought to tbe cable boose. Alter reaching tbe telegraph house the cable wa coiled alongside of the building, snl tUe end pulled round to the little aperture made for its reeption, and where it was thortlv after united with Var'ey's Instrument, in the Interior, preparatory to sendiLg the first message to England. The cheering on the completion of this opera tion was, if possible, louder and more enthu siastic than any preceding. During this time the electricians and directors were assembled iu the office, congratulating each other, and re ceiving the applause of the excited crowds. About five o'clock, religious exercises took place at Mr. Gardner's church, in thanksgiving for the successful completion of the great enter prise. Four Episcopal clergvmen officiated. The solemn services were a fitting finale to the eventful day, which will be 'ver memorable iu the annals of science. The Rev. Mr. Phelps de livered a short sermon, taking his text from tbe twenty-first chapter of St. John. The discourse was appropriate te the occasion. During the evening Mr. Field received several short despatches from different parties, among othtrs from Mr. R.Stuart and Mr. Glass, con gratulating him on the s nccss of the cable. The steamship Great Eastern was the theatre of n lively scene, the sailors marching up and down the deck beating drums and kettles and enjoying themselves to their hearts' content. Rockets were sent up irom the deck of the Great Eastern, which illuminated the heavens, and from the shore hie works were displayed in abundance. Mr. Field has despatched the steamer Niger to repair the cable acrors the Gulf of St. Lawrence, under the direction of Mr. Mackay. The steamer Bloodhound, of St. Johns, has also been char tered by Mr. Field to assist in the work. The new cable will lie laid across the gulf by the Medway as soon as the end of the Atlantic cable is grap pled and attached to the shore cable, thus making two lines of electric communication between thin place and Europe. The Great Eastern will coal Immediately, and by Saturday next will proceed with the other vessels, to pick up the cable f 1805. It is not decided yet what time the line will be opened frr business.

The ArmlsilcA Step; dilation at Naps Iron' fiuKtrrbilon. The Paris Moniteur of July 20 says: Prussia has engaged, at the suggestion ot Napoleon, to abstain Irom all acts of hostility for five days on condition that Austria nursiics'a similar course, and within that time the Austrian Government must make known its acceptance or refusal ot the basis agreed upon. It the reply from Vienna be in the affirmative and lulv gives consent, an armistice may be sianed iumediatuly. AUSTRIA ACCEPTS. The Paris M:miteur, of tbe 2tst of July, says Austria has accepted the proposals ot Prussia to abstain from hostilities, during: which the Court of Vienna will have to notify its acceptance on the subject of preliminaries to peac. AU-TBIA TO RETIRE FROM THE CONFEDERATION. It is asserted from Paris that Austria has ron-M-nted to retire from the German Confederation. TUB ENGLISH" INTERPRETATION. The London limes, speaking belore the Moni tcu. 's announcement, hays if the report of the acceptance of the armistice be true, it is a sus pension of arms with a view ot signing un armis tice of six weeks, which period will allow ample time for the settlement of tbe details and the signature of peace. The suspension of arms implies a preeonceited agreement on the basis of pacihe arrangements. Prussia would lose all by defeat at Floridsdorf, and with victory could gain little beyond what she has already done. Austria, on the other baud, if defeated, would risk being swept from the face of Europe, while if victorious she could hardly hope to regain her position in Germany. PRUSSIAN DEMANDS AND PREPARATIONS. The London liiues savs that Prussia limits her demands very nearly to the exclusion ol Austria trom the new federal or imperial com bination. She is preparing for a German war. PRUSSIA MAY TAKE HANOVER. In the English Parliament Lord Stanley de nied n statement to tbe effect that England would not allow Hanover to be handed over to Prussia. The statement was entirely unfounded. TUE COMMERCIAL EFFECT. A despatch from Liverpool, dated July 21. says: -"The announcement that Austria had accepted the proposals for the suspension ot hostilities had caused great buoyancy iu all markets." The prevailing opinion, especially among Germans, was that peace Is almost certain to be concluded, and, consequently, there will be no resumption ol hostilities. The Italian answer had not yet been leccived. There were no re ports of further fighting. A HUGE AUSTRIAN FOBCE IN FBONT OF VIENNA. A correspondence from Vienna states that the Avsrrian forces gathered togetner tor the de fense of Vienna are estimate J at four hundred thousand men and six hundred field guns. It is Slid that one bundled thousand men are crowded within the Intrenched camp of Florida dorl. From sixty thousand to eighty thousand fresh soldiers from Venetia have joined, and everything betokens the coming conflict as inevitable. CONFIDENT IN BATTLE. The London Times' correspondent says the contidence of Austria is not shaken. A battle on the Danube may reverse the battle on the Elbe. Success is a necesity tor the Prussians. Tue consequence of a reverse is beyond calcu lation. Tbe Prussians have marched five hun dred miles into the enemy's country, and have lelV hostile fortresses in their rear. PRUSSIAN INVASION OF HUNGARY. A portion of the Prussian army hai crossed the river Marsch, near Horn. In Hungary. Archduke AlLrecht had issued a proclamation announcing his assumption of the command of the Austrian army at Vienna. General Uenedek, who has been relieved from his functions as commander-in-chief of the Northern army, remains commander of an army corps. i The Frankfort contingent has been disarmed ano diiDanaej, ana tne military clubs closed. Frankfort hud paid a contribution of six mil, liocs of florins towards the maintenance of the rrust-ian troops. The Prussians had occupied Wiesbaden and Hochst, and had commenced a regular siege of the fortress of Mentz. Boats on the Rhine were not allowed to Baas the fortress. The War ta Italy. A despatch from Liverpool ot July 22 rennrfn. In tbe great naval tight oft Lissa the Italian iron-clad lis d1 Malia was soak by collision at ine commencement oi tne pat up. An iron clad boat blew up with all on board. amid cries ot "Lone live tbti Klru and lti t from tbe crew. Italian accounts state that the Austrian squadron ret red alter one man-of-war and two steamers bad bren sunk. A Vienna despatch says: The Italian fleet. driven back, waj being pursued by the Aua- irians iu me uirecuon oi Aneona. As already announced, the Italian fleet opened an attack upon the island of Lissa, on the co ist of Dalmatia, on the 18th of July. The Italian official reports state that after seven hours' obstinate fighting the fleet silenced tne port oi nr. ticoige. The irn-clnd frigate Re d1 Italia, which was sunk by the Austrians, was built by William H. werib, in new lork, in 18G3. She was launched on the Ibth day of April, in that year, and sa led for Europe eight or ten months later. The length ot her keel was about 277 feet, and over all the Pieasurement was 289 feet. The breadth of the ship was flfty-two feet. She was plated with fonr-and-a half inch iron. Just previous to her departure for Italy, in December, 18C3. she made a trial trio to Fortress Monroe, and was run on the Jersey shore. It became necessary to throw her guns overboard in order to get her off. . Being among the first of the Iron-clads built in this country, she was not, for obvious reasons, so good a 'vessel as those afterwards mode. A despatch from the headquarters of Gari baldi, dated 8tord, July 19, says, in conse quence of recent engagements, and tbe occu pation of Combino and the Val de Ledro by tbe volunteers, the Austrians in Fort Angolia have leen compelled to capitulate, conditionally, alter an obstinate defense. Prince Carlgnano and the Minister of War hnd congratulated Garibaldi on his success. The Italian vanguard was at Piavc on the 20th of July. The army had been separated into two carps, one under General Cialdiui, consisting of ti'toen divisions, and the other commanded by General La Marmora, composed of six divisions. Intelligence received from Rovleo reports that the Austrians had erected batteries on all the roods leading to Padua, and that Brevion, the commander of the fortress of Verona, had ordered the inhabitants to provide themselves with provisions for three months. Prince Napoleon arrived at Venice on the 19th of Julv. A decree had been officially promulgated organizing an administration lor Venetia. The Marquis Pcpoli had been apoointed Ilnli in Commissioner at Padua, Sisnor Mardinl at Vicenza. and Sienor Alhevi at Rovigo. In Ik-r'iu, the Prussian Minister of the Interior had had interviews with some of the leaders of the political parties in Prussia, in reference to the convocation ot the German Parliament. Some prominent men of the National party, belonging to tbe different German States, had been invited by the Prussian Government to take part in the conference. The official lournal says, the Prussian Govern ment ha no intention of eontrolline, but desires to give the German nation the benefit of IU advance, and to consult tor that purpose, re gardless ot party politics, those men who place national unity above all other considerations. CABE OF TUE WOUNDED. The Prussian correspondent of the Times writes: "An overwhelming majority ot Aus tiians is noticeable in the hospitals ot the Prus sians, consequent upon tne latter remaining masters of tne various battle-liclds. In their praiseworthy enneavoi to provide all neces saries for their hospitals, the Government are zealously assisted by the public. Large contri butions ot money, as well as ot every imaginable article of food and clothing required, are con tinually flowing iu to the numerous committees cstubhhed in the capital as well as the pro vinces. From the variety and prolusion ot the gilts supplied by the benevolent, the central depot at Berlin is a perfect industrial exhibition tor the noblest of objects. Imagine tbouaudi of shirts heaped up by the Bide of hams, iellie"-, and bauduges ol'Jall sizes and dimensions. Moun tains of lint may be seen in strange, but, a'as! but too appropriate, juxtaposition with casks of Cape wine and other restoratives, while stock inus and ice, Bibles and combs, plates and turn I lers, slippers and novels are some other of the multilarious ingredients of this incongruous hospital fair. Thedept is superintendi-d by the n.ost aristocratic ladies of Berlin, who cure fully sort the eoods pouring in, and daily send otf chests full of the various articles io the places where they are most wanted. Rockoning the cash and the diflerent commodities together, the voluntary contributions are estimated at 4000 a day. "An especial good office has been rendered the sick by tne Crown Princess suggesting a new kind ot pillow to lay wounded limbs upon. Very small bits of paper, torn so as to otter uneven sides, are put into a linen case, and this again into a covering ol thin leather. Thi6 simple and inexpensive invention, which is said to be cooler than an ordinary pillow, has employed thousands ot little hands In schools and families, enormous patience being required to tear no enough of the tiuy shred t to make cne cushion.' From San Francisco. San Francisco, July 27. A Victoria despatch sas the bark Onward, of the Collins teleiraph expedition, sailed yesterday for Petropaulowski. Bids for $50,000 worth of seven per cent, school bonds of the city and county of San Francisco, have been awarded at 84, 822. and 81 . They run fifteen years from April 1, 1866. Ad auction sale of Circle sugar took place to day. It sold at il cents less per pound than at the previous sale.

Ilamill, the champion oarsman, arrived yes terday morning by the City of New York, and was welcomed back by many of his friends, whom be entertained at his hotel with anecdotes of the manners aud appearance of the North umbrians, among whom he had lately been sojourning. He regretted that his arrangements did not permit of his being in London on the evening of Thursday. July 19, to witness the presentation of the 1000 stakes won by Harry Kclley, his antagonist in the great sculling contest. He confesses to having been beaten iu the first race from High Level Bridge to Leamington Point, on the Tyne, a distance of four and a half miles, and in the second race, from High Level Bridge to Paradise Quay and back, a distance of five miles, which latter race was run In thirty-eight minutes and twenty seconds. Hamill says be waa treated with the greatest kindness by the people of Newcastle, with whom he became a favorite, and who, notwithstanding national prejudices, seemed to be. rather desirous that he should win. He atlirmt that the race were conducted in the ntest honorable manner, not the slightest foul play being shown or disagreeable feeling mani fested, and that the utmost harmony and good will prevailed at the contests. His Newcastle friends, on his departure, presented him with a massive gold watch and chain, ai a mark of the esteem In which he was held. N. Y. Herald. A Blacismith Deawinq a Prize.

Sloanaker has been appointed Collector of Internal Revenue for the First Dis trict of Pennsylvania, vice Colonel John H. Tag gart, removed. Tbe President handed the com mission to Hon. Samuel J. Randall, M. C. for the First District, this morning, at whose sollel tationjthe appointment was made. Mr. Rankin, Mr. Flanigcn, and others recommended Mr. Sloanaker for the position also. The Cnatoma Collector. It is understood that the President has con sulted Mr. Attorney-General Stanbery relative to the case of Colonel William B. Tnomas, Col lector of the Port of .Philadelphia, and he ha decided not to remove that official for the present. Confiscation. It Is ascertained at the Treasury Department that the amount of seizures and confiscations for the year ending June 30 exceed, by over $1.')0,000, the cost incurred in protecting the commerce and revenue from smuggling. I'arrnant'a and Porter's CninuiirMlon. Tbe commissions of Adaiiril Farragut and Vice-Admiral David D. Porter were, on Saturday, signed by the President and fhe Secretary of the Navy, and forwarded to each respectively, to the former at Long Branch, and the latter at the Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland. Cnatoma. The Secretary of the Treasury has directed Collectors of Customs, who have rented private property lor the use of the Department, to re I ort the total number of buildings and rooms occupied, the amount of rent paid, and their re spective locations. It Is the intention of the Department to dispense with all unnecessary apartments of this character, and as soon as the reports shall have been received there will be a lnrge retrenchment of expenditures for the above-named purposes. The Government annu ally pays over $100,000 for the accommodation of custom and other officers. Financial. The expenditures of the Treasury on aocount of the War, Navy, and Interior Departments in the week ending yesterday, wore as follows: War Department, $S48.990; Navy Department, $1,116,729; Interior Department, $230,850; total, $2,199,486. The amount of .fractional currency received at the Treasury Department for the ending week was $251,000. Amount shipped, $177,500. Amount destroyed, $342,400, a large portion ot this being received from Portland ruined by the late fire. Codifying Cnstomi Laws. Tnder a recent joint resolution, General Gar field and Senator Creswell have been appointed by their respective branches of Congress to codify the Customs Laws. A third person is to be appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury. Naval Prize Claims. The prize list ot the United Slates ship ifonl- (joinery for the capture of the prize Bel has been prepared, and is ready for payment at tho office of the Treasury; but owing to the tact that the claims ot the crews of fifty-five vessels lor the Red river and Mobile captures are yet to be settled, this list will not come up for paymeut lor five or six weeks yet. The Equalization Bill. An opinion prevails that the Bounty Equallza tion bill, which passed Congress on the last nieht of the session, will cost the Treasury several hundred millions of dollars. It is proper to say that this opinion is based upou the bill first introduced in the Senate by Mr. Wilson, which would have cost front $200,000,000 to $2,'.0, 000,000. The bill finally adop .e l is a com promise between the above bill aud the one in troduced into the House by General Schenck. The former provided for the payment of $100 per year to the soldiers who had serve ! three years, with a Government bounty of not more than $100, the bounty to be deducted from the amount thus to be paid them. The latter provided for tbe deduction ol local instead ot Government bounty. The bill as passed is estimated to cost seventy-five to eighty millions, quite enough, but not so much as stated by Mr. Fessenden. The Paymaster-Gene ral says that It will take three years to examine the accounts of the soldiers to whom this extra bounty is due. The amount paid each year will, therefore, be about $26,000,000. The clause in the new Bounty bill awarding to two years' soldiers who have received a bounty of $60 a sum ot $50 more, is inoperative, as there Is no such class. General Rousseau' Keala-natlon. General Rousseau states that whoever applied to Speaker Colfax to withdraw his resignation did so without any authority from him; that he would not allow it to be withdrawn. , He Is still here, and will return to Kentucky soon. The Printing- Unman. It was the understanding here yesterday that General 8teedman had not accepted the posi tion of Superintendent of Public Printing, as thu law requires that the Superintendent must bo practical printer and binder, and he being neither, is ineligible. An evening Admlnlstra tion paper states that Cornelius Wendell has bem appointed. Wendell was Public Printer under Buchanan, and distributed the money used in pawing the Lecoinpton bill.

Published by Loring, of Boston. I Cunt' nued from Evening Telegraph of yesterday. "And now. dear Millv. I come to that very prolific and almost unlveisal source of discom- ion, "SEBVANTS. "It Is a fact, however lucre lible It may seem. that tour women out of ten, perhaps a greater number, suffer their servants to Decoine their mistresses indeed are actually afraid ot them. This auses more from the inefficiency of the mistress, wnicn renders ner wean ana power less, dependent upon the servant lor evervthiner. than from any other cause. My advice to you, uuy, is to learn everything you possibly can beloLgiug to domestic work, even wah and Irou, aud never say to Bridget's succes sor, whenever she comes to you, 4I don't know; do It as you like.' iou must feel that Bridget, with only the little knowledge she possesses, Is a very tyrant over you, because she feels that you are dependent upon her for the most trifling service that all your cooking is R'ies9 work that in washing clothe ou would not know the difference in the result It you were to throvyyour soiled collars into sca'dlng or tepid water. The strongest mind will ever be the ruler: it Is the natural etlect of a cause. Bri.ltret would not know how to receive company, or hoi to play on the piano; and if she, by any change of circumstances, were Buddenly called upon to do so, she would run away in all right, and throw herself upon the mercy of any one who could help her in her emergency; but had she snch knowledge, she woulu hold her own, fear no one, Ld be respected. "It is the ignorance of the mistress which raises the servant into a tyrant. This is one bad state of things; but those who are clever iu every domestic detail, and have a limited income, so as to be obliged to niase one shilling do the work of two, have their trials. They can find no servant who has experience beyond a smat tering knowledge ot work or cooking, one who is too old to be taueht, or one who knows not tbe value of any article ot consumption. From such domestics the misire-s generally obtains the character of being mean, near, and fidgety, aud never keeping ber servants long, and thus she gets into bad repute, so that good servants never oiler themselves, and sho obtains only those who have difficulty in obtaining situations elsewhere though she has this reward in her daily Toartvrdom, that at the end ot the year she ' makes both ends meet. Ii she conceal tbee grave,, evils from her husband, she makes his home a happy one, and her bouse orderly; punctuality is her handmaid, and despatch and comfort re sults ol her munagemeut: but there is do deny ing that, in her daily trials of temper, a more than Spartan courage is hers to enable her to meet ber husband in ihe evening witn the win- nice gracefulness which ho loves so well. I am plan, dear Diwy, mat you now see your nuiband is one to be thousht of, io be welcomed, and atl work and complainings to be cast aside to make his home loytul. In the old, old davs of court ship, when the lovel one was expected, you looked forth many times as if to hasten biai on his path, your work was enst aside, and all waa unthought of but his presence. I am certain you never dreamed of amusing him with the Bhortcomincs of your servants, except it was ta relate some ludicrous Incident, and so your con duct then won hiei, It you now withdraw the screen, and show him the skeleton (for in middle-class life, a in any other, there are skeletons in every woman's heart' you stand a chance to make him remember with" a sigh that such were not the days of old. "Hirinn Servants. It you yourself are edu cated tor a wife, not alone for an entanglement in jour husband's affairs, you will, in hiring, ask the servant who oilers herself what she can do, and how she cooks any particular joint or dish of fish; say first, 'How do you cook a leg of mutton?1 You will be sure to be told, 'I boils It.' You ask, 'But how long will a leg of eight pounds take?' The reply will be an hour and a half, or two hours and a hall, or even an hour, ana oui vureiy mo rigm time, -anu now ao you fry soles?' I trios 'em.' 'Well, but how?' 'I puts a little piece ot fat in the pan, and then I wipes 'em dry and puts 'em In.' Now, If you yourself dou't know how to do better, how can , you tell whether the girl la right or wrong ? Supposing you don't know you take her into tbe house, and confusion, waste, and dirt are ' the consequence; but perhaps you are clever, and d scover that the girl is teachable and clean you take her in, instruct her, and make her -render you service. "Avoid hiring one who has lived as kitchen maid in a superior household she knows but ' little more than to waste aud to make large fires, the latter being most essential to her ire portanco, , and has a soul above saving dripping, excepting for her own purposes. There is one thing I would mention. I have found low-cl issed Lon- ' don servants to have a oertect knowledge o the -price of dripping; therefore, they will use for , the same purpo-e three or lour times over that in which fish has been fried. Clean dripping, ' tresh from the meat, thev can gel tivepenee a pound for; hence, for themselves they have leurned to save, and can do so for a mistress If tbey choose, but, unfortunately, they will not. If, when hiring, it is mentioned that to sell grease- is not per nltted. 'he will understand her position, and, if found doing so, the only remedy ' is to discharge her. ''Never attempt to hire a servant who pro fesses to be able to do everything, and who tella you she 'doesn't like a mistress to come into the -k lichen.' Be assured Bhe knows nothing, and will endeavor to upset all your household arrnneemeuts and plans. She is one also who is prompt at giving notice, "Have nothing to say to her who asks yon if th'd or that is to be done; oue who has never cleaned a kntte or boot, 'had no call to do slch things, bavin' always been brought up respect able? Hire no girl who speaks ill of her former ' initre8s, or who evinces a readiness to betray the affairs ot the family.' , It is all very well for Bertha to write thus; but where shall I find a servant at all? I men- tally asked. In London a good general servant Is not to be had for ten pounds a year; so Mrs. York, a lady who lives near, tells me, and she never exceeds eight pounds; but then, cerUinly. she is clever.'aiid understands all the minuitae of cooking and everything else. I wonder who Mrs. York could have been, and what was her occupation before her marriage, fir she sings and plays, draws, and teaches hr servants to cook and to wash, aud she stakes her own dreses and irons them; but then her husband , has only a naudreq ana twenty puuuus a year, oat of which he has mauaeed to insure his life for two hundred pounds. I thtnk I must take a lesson from her book when Bridget goes, and for the moment I wondered if the latter and I should ro on together o the end. So I reverted to Bertha's "rules" , " Ketpecting a teroanCs Character. Upon no . pretext or pretente take one without a character for honesty and civility. Lay not too much stress on anything else; what may he cleanliness in one house may not be tboutht so In another. Do not take a written character; the appearance of the mistress and the house will go far to assist your judgment as to the servant. Distrust equally ft very good tr rery had character, aad i
