Providence, R. I., August 24. To-day has
been the great day in the spiritualists' Conven
tion. Among other business transacted the fol
lowing resolves were reported as a platform on

l'reident, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer
of thin and fubsequent conventions shall designate,
and such officers are hereby di'dared an Kxesutive
Committee lor that purpose.
Then follow several resolutions relating to
the number and methods of electing delegates,
and the resolves go ou as follows:
Resolved, 1 hat in adopting those articles this Con
vention has no power or wish to prescribe a creed,
or in any way letter the belief or limit the freedom
of any individual mind, but that we denire our ob
ject to be deserving of trutn and its practical appli
cation to the a flairs and interests of human life, and
thut we recognize everything that tends to the ec
traocbiBement, development, and true welfare of
human beings a. embraced within the range ot the
spiritual philosophy aud the purposes of this Na

protracted discussion on the resolution as in
troduced by Mr. Dvott, of Philadelphia, con
demning as ineffectual aud deceptive the opera
tions of dark circle mediums, and calling upon
the spiritual papers to expose their fraud. Alter

postponed. In the evening there were addresses

A Rare Iustance of Ecouomy,
Commissioner Cooley, of the Indian Bureau.
has established a precedent in economy which
is worthy of notice. Huvine been authorized to
use an appropriation of $54,000 to treat with
certain retractory Indians, he, in compauy with
a special commission, last August visited these
tribes, remaining with them over two months,
and alter entertaining the representatives of
seventy-five thousand Indians, and expending
$3000 in presents, aud ratifying a treaty, anly
expended $10,000 for this object. This is the
first instance of this character on record at the
Indian Bureau.
Indian Depredations Between Forts Lara
mie and Keno A General War Pre
dicted. Leavenworth, August 24 The Indians are
wild with rsge between torts Laramie and
R'no. The whole country is infested with tbe
hostile tribes. They swear they will be exter
minated sooner than give up the Powder River
district. Mrs. Carrington, the wife of the colonel
commanding', Is reported among the killed and
captured. French Pete, an old Indian trader,
and four men were killed tiff y miles above bore.
The Smith and Leiehton herd weie stmpeded
and run off, and beveuty-tive cattle beloneiug to
another train were also driven off. All emi
grants have suffered from the Indians. The
moct experienced and best mountaineers predict
a fearful and bloody war. Colonel Bridger re
ports that, by means of the Indian Commission
ers and the peace treaties, the Indians were
never so well prepared for war as at present.
From the Upper Missouri reports sre reoeived
that tbe Blackfeet and Crows have commenced
hostilities. The Crows tore their treaty to
pieces, and have murdered ten men.
A Baronetcy In Court A curious suit, known
as the Slude Baronetcy case, Is soon to be tried
in England. Lady Blade, at the time of her mar
riage with the late Sir Frederick Slado, Q. C,
supposed herself to be a widow, ber former hus
band having deserted her, and a report was cir
culated that he was dead. After ihe birth of
Sir Frederick's first son the first husband was
heard of, but there was no absolute certainty
whether he was alive or dead. Accordlnely.
before the second child was born, in order that
there might be no doubt about his legitimacy,
tbe parents were married again. The same
ceremony was repeated before the birth ot each
child in succession, and as there are seven of
them, each claims the title and estates. Wit
nesses are summoned from various parts ol the
world,

Published by Loring, of Boston.
PREFACE.
The result of some years' experience In small
matters, which go to make np great comforts,
is ottered in this little book. Some may
sneer at these small economics, bn it should
be remembered that "there is nothing in this
earth so smalt that it may not produce great
things." And amidst every household toil of
a wite, and every energy ot a husband to obtain
money lor lamtiy necas, what can be better
than to know how comlort can be had for the
money expended ? Chief amonpthe chiefest of
evils are wastefulness and nnskilfulness in
cooklmr, which cannot be too greatly deplored
when there is no money but tbat arising from,
a limited income: and where there is ignorance
ot tbe art of makinir the most of everything,
there seems to be no remedy. What comfort
can there be in dining off stewed meat rendered
tough, tasteless , and full of fibre; of eating
potatoes soddencd with water, or greens boiled
to a mash and of a rusty color; of having before
one stone-like artichokes, tasteless and rusty
looking carrots, which, if one partakes of, a lit
ot indigestion, with its train of horrors, Is sure
to follow. Boiled meats and fish which are
insipid or fried fish, greasy-looking and white,
cause far more trouble to produce than if they
were cooked by a proper process. To help tho
mistress in giving instructions in these im
portant trifles, and on which comfort so much,
depends, has been tho author's aim.
In most homes there is a tendency to leave
small matters to take care of themselves. With
servants there is a perpetual waste of candles,
soap, coals, and cinders. These articles are
not very often iuterlered with by mistreesea
with incomes of 200 a year; but in all of these
an unobserved waste bring a pinching in other
requisites which are really necessary for com
fort Even the melting awav of a penny a day
amounts to upwards of thirty shillings a year.
At Christmas, many of the couilorts may be ob
tained for this sura, or it would gladden a
starving or sick fellow-creature.
It is against waste of every kind that one
should war. A hospitable heart and economy
are twins. We should be careful, that we might
be liberal. Wasto in small matters, and profu
sion in large, is burning the caudle at both ends,
not to bo compensated lor by stinginess in any
household department.
There is also great waste in using unneces-'
sary ingredients in cooking, which may not be
unnecessary to persons with large Incomes, who
give entertainment-, and who, if suffcrina1 from
indigestion, can afford the time to be ill, and
money to pay the doctor. To these may be
safely left the eggs, the cream and butter,which
enter so largely into what is termed firbt-class
cooking. A custard is much more enjoyable
aud the flavor Is equally good when made
wiih milk, and the exact number of eggs to
thicken the milk, than it is when made with an
excess of eggs added to cream. Those who de
wire to have a bilious attack need swallow but
half a custard made hi this extravaant fashion
Again, rice puddines are richer tasted and ea
tirely waolesome, when made without eggs, and
with milk only no water. But if the precau
tion be not observed of first washing the rice
three or lour times In boiling water, then not all
tne richest ingredients can destroy the offensive
musty taste which the grain has acquired.
y ell-flavored arrowroot puddings, made with
boiling milk only, are excellent, and these can
be made in a moment. When water only Is used
tor them, an addition of a glass of sherry makes
excellent jelly for the sick who cannot take
meat jellies.
The French, cooking of roast meat, poultry.
uuu game, wliuu uiutii, cugusn people say they
so much admire, owes much of its exoellenoe to
the process of larding, aud to its being slowly
cooked by a proper degree of heat The direc
tions for larding, as given by a French cook,
are, to cut np shreds of bacon and tie tt on to
the articles to be cooked, or to introduce these
shreds with a larding-needle underneath the
skin. Now, the same savor and moistoess
can be given to English cooking by econo
mising and using the bacon fat whfch drioa
trom the bacon when cooking it for the mominir
meal. It is no extravagance, but a real com
lort tor persons of moderate means to enioy
a small quantity of bscon for breakfast if the
