one spoonful of cream tarter, sifted * illi
the flour; heat butter and sogwr !
thoroughly together; aihl the whitea of
egg* beaten to stiff foam ; then the floor,
and milk and soda the bat.
Fmrrr Cant. Three-quarters of a !
pound of raisins, two small cups of cur
rants, one full op of sugar, thret^qunit
ers of * cap of sugar and till the imp with
inoiaaacs, one eup of sour milk, three
• cups of dour, two eggs, three-quarters of
a cup of butter, a quarter of a pound of
citron, one toaspoonful of soda, flavor
with cinnamon, cloves, and lemon, lu
mixing the cake. 1 prefer putting only
part of the fruit in the hatter, all the
currants and part of the raisins. I then
put in a layer of butter, then a layer of
citron and raisins, until I fill the pan,
lastly putting in the batter; this prevents
the fruit from leing burned on the out
aide of the cake. Bake about an hour
and free-quarters ; it requires a good
hot oven.
SUPERIOR Lmn.—Loaf laid is the
nicest for all cooking purposes; skin all
the fat that is to be tried into lard, and
imminence by frying gently a little leaf
lard, or your fat will scorch ; let it cook
slowly, sad dip off the fat as it is liqne
fied. and strain it through a cloth ; when
oil is strained that can be dipped off.
squeeze the remainder by itself in the
cloth. If the lanl is to be uaetl for cook
ing, salt it a trifle when first put on ;
much of the salt will be found at the
bottom of the kettle undissolved ; still,
it would seem better that salt should he
used. If the lanl ato he used for burn
ing in bud lamp*, salt would he injuri
ous. If the fat is not skinned before
trying, the gluten in the skin will make
the lard inquire and frothy Have the
scraps and skin* for soap grease.
BCCXWHXAT CASKS.— One quart of
bock wheat flour, mix with lukewarm wa
ter. rather thicker than yon will wish it
when reidy to bake. A cup of Graham
meal added is, we think, an improve
ment ; stir in a can of family vea.it, or
half a penny's worth of bakers', and a
teasixvnful of salt ; mix in an earthen
bowl, or a larger earthen pitcher ; the
latter is the most convenient, as the bat
ter can be poured from the lip of the
pitcher more natly than it can be dipped
out of a bowl; set it where it will keep
warm ail night. The batter should be
made early in the evening, as it takes
fully ten hours in winter to rise ; when
ready to bake in the morning beat half a
teaspoonful of molasses and iir into the
batter, adding enough lukewarm water
to make it thin enough to fry : bake
quick; the thinner the cakea can be
baked the better they wall be.
BED Bra EXTERMINATOR. —A 1 idy who
moved into a house swarming with bed
bugs, after cleansing the house, tells
how she exterminated them from her
bedsteads : —" I took a teaspoonful of
quicksilver, costing ten or fifteen cents,
which 1 beat up with the whites of two
eggs, just as I would make frosting for a
cake, till the quicksilver was thor
oughly mixed with the egg; this I ap
plied with a feather to every crack and
crevice where a bed bug could hide, af
ter washing the bedstead* in cold water.
This I repeated three or four times du
ring the hnrt summer, and about three
times during the second summer. The
result is, I have not seen a bug for two
year*. As the bug* will not stay where
• quicksilver is applied faithfully, it is
necessary to overhaul the bedding fre
quently to capture stragglers who mnv
be seeking a more healthful locality." *
LOOSENING SCREWS AKD STOPPERS.—
A knowledge of the fact that bodies ox-
Cd by heat, and an application of this
wledge, will often save much trouble.
Ground glass stoppers in bottles often be
come fast by being put into the neck af
ter the latter are wanned by the fingers,
the stoppers being cold." To loosen
them, warm the neck, by applying a
small cloth dipped in warm water," which
will expand it and loosen the stopper.
Nut>-on threshing and other • machines
sometimes become immovable by being
put on the screws in cold weather, after
the nuts have been warmed by holding
in the hands. The only way to get
them off, is to exjiand them again bv
heating. The work shonld be quickly
done, otherwise the serewrs will also be
come heated and expanded. We once
saw three strong men trying to unscrew
a rusty iron pump. We suggested beat
ing the outer or hollow screw, when it
was loosened with one hand.
KEEPING MUCH Cows.—lt is an axiom
among our dairymen here, in Southern
Herkimer county, that much grain fed
to cows will not pay—that is to keep it;
fattening is a different thing, and mav
poy or may not Sometimes it does not,
and generally not too much. Few milch
cows it will not pay ; so it is thought
here.
There is one thing that will pay—that
does pay. It is the feeding of green ten
der hay, cut green and young ; and then
from such hay—it may be said grass—
butter is made equal to summer and fall
butter. The quantity of milk is large in
November ana December, and again at
calving time. There is an excellent flow
of milk,not quite so rich perhaps as
grain would make it, but ricn and copi
ous; and it was brought without the
great expense, the cost not being more
than half.
When summer opens, your cow is still
strong, and will continue in that condi
tion on good feed—that is. good pasture,
and when getting short, fed on cornstalks
provided for her, which is but a continu
tion of the green pasture. And when
winter comes, your cow will still be
round and strong—not overfed, nor over
strained with grain, but what a cow
should be—a quiet, domestic animal,
supporting the dairy, intended for milk,
not to lie driven, either too hard by lx>ys,
or yoked as in Europe. Such "a milk
giving mother, needs but sufficient
strength for her purpose, and that is
not much in her quiet routine. She needs
good treatment ; that is the great point.
She grows under it, but deteriorates un
der abuse, and that rapidly. Give her
warm winter quarters and plenty of
water with her grass hay.— Country Gen

A CORRESPONDENT of the San Frenciaco
Bulletin, writing from Mexico, says that
a new spirit has been aroused in that
unhappy countrv. The reports of revo

from the papers, giving place to the
enumeration of improvements, and es
tablishment of schools and academies.
At Mazatlan, a musical school has been
established with the assistance of the
local authorities. A similiar institution
has been started at La Paz. At Duron
go, a school for iron smelting h*s been
founded, to moke the fsmoua iron moun
tain at that place available for home in
dustries. Lancastrian schools are being
established in almost every village, and
the parents made subject to a fine if they
fail to look after the education of their
children. At Vera Cruz, a public library
has been founded, and the federal Gov
ernment has granted it from seven to
eight thousand choice volumes. Other
cities are following the example. There
have also been established lately two
colleges devoted to industrial pursuits.
THE war bet wean France and Germany

tranquility among his officers by sum
marily dismissing some of the most

Senator Sumner and San Domingo.
In hia noted apeeeh in tha Senate on
the K*n Ihimiugo auestlon, Senator
Sumner asserted that it is now on evi
dence before the Sen ate that Hie navv of
the United States, scting under order*
from Washington, lias been engaged in
measure* of violence and of belligerent
intervention ix-ing war without the
authority of Congress. The whole buai
nuM, be raid* Is aggravated when it i*
eonsidoriHl Unit the declared object of
this violence is the acquisition of foreign
territory, being half an inland inthet'ar
ilx-au Sou; and still further, that this
violence has I won employeil first, to prop
and maintain a www ruler, himself n
usurjier, upholding him iu power, that
he might sell hia country ; and eccondly,
it ha* lieou employeil to menace the
lUeck Republic of Haytl.
Such a caae. Mr. Hnmner continues,
is too grave for ailetiee. For sake of the
navy, the Administration, lb-publican
Institution*, and for the sake of the Ite-
C* lioaii Party which cannot afford to
one reepouailth- forauc.h oonduct, the
case must not (mas without inquiry Hut
beyond all these considerations is the
commanding rule of justice.
The question is uot whether the iietiiit
aition of San Douuugo is desirable, but
whether we are justified in the uieau*
employed to accomplish this acquisition,
and the evidence uow In-fore us shows
too clearlv tint tucans have Ix-eu em
ploveil winch calling lie justified. He
tn.il supposed tliat the proceedings re
garding the treatv for annexation were
blameless until wfiilc it was (tending lie
fore tlie Senate, the A-austaut Secre
tary of Slate brought him a uuiuber of
deapatehM, among which was oue from
tmrt'onnilar Agent there, who signed the
treaty of annexation, from which it dis
tinct! v appeared tlwt Baca while engaged
in selling hi* country was maintained in
(aiwer by the Navy of the United States.
Other evidence has accumulated to show
that we were engaged in forcing u|xm a
weak people the sacrifice ol their country.
The State Department and tlte Navy
iV-jvartuicnt each contained a record of
the disgraceful, intolerable, and deplora
ble proceeding!? and still tliey pressed
the consummation. The Story of Na
bott's vineyard was revived
Mr. Sumner then entered into legal
argument, and rites precedent* to show
that a contract for oi-saiou of territory
must be without presence of superior
force, and allude* to the fact that recent
returns of the Navy Department show
the whole island has 1-eeu Wleagured bv
our navy, tailing from port to port, and
hugging the laud with its guns, and un
less tlie re(>orts of the State and Navy
Department are discrediu-d, it is obvious
beyoud doubt that our Government has
seized the war powers carefully guarded
by the constitution, and without the au
thority of Congress ha* employed them
to trample on iude(euilence and equal
rights of two nation* rorqual with ours.
Mr. Sumner then repealed the allega
tions in a former speeeli, that Baez was
maintained in power by our nary to ena
ble him to carry out the contract with
Mr. Uabcock, and that to a**ure this sale
ilavti was violently menaced by our fleet
ant! presented voluminous documentary
official evidenoe to suxt-uu them.
The result upon the independence and
equalitvof the Black Republic, Mr. Sum
ner adds, appear* more fully iu the re-
Iport of the Navy Department, which is
an authentic record of acta flagrant and
indefensible, unless we are ready to set
aside the law of nations and the Consti
tion of the United States. Both of these
are degraded in order to advance the
scheme. If I called it a plot I should
not err, for this term is suggested by the
machination, ami the record* is complete.
In conclusion Mr. Sumner said :—Mr.
President, as I draw to close, allow me
to rejieat the very deep regret with which
I make this exposure. Most gladly
would 1 avoid it- Controversy, especi
ally at mv time of life, lias no attraction
for me ; tint I have been reared in the
school of duty, and now. as of old 1 can
not see wrong without trying to arrest
it I plead OOW, as I have often jdeaded
before, for Justice and Peace.
In the evidence adduced I have con
! fined myself carefully to public docu
ments, 11 ot traveling out of the record.
Disputche*. naval orders, naval report*-
the.se are the unimpeachable authorities.
And all these liare Usui officially com
municated to the Senate, are now print
ed by its order, aeoeasible to aIL On
this unanswerable and cumulative testi
intny, where each port confirms the rest,
and whole bas the harmony of truth, 1
present this transgression. And her*' it
is not 1 who speak, but the testimony.
Thus stand the case. International
law ha* been violated in two of its com
manding rules, uuc securing the equality
of oatioua, the other providing against
U'Uigerent intervention, while a distinc
tive fundamental principle of (he fon
sitution, by which the President is de
prived of a kingly prerogative, is dis
regarded, and this very kiugly prerog
ative is asserted by the President.
This is the simple statement. Look
-1 mg still further at the facts, we see that
all this g rest disobedience has for its ob
ject the acquisition of au outlying tropi
| cai island, with large promise of wealth,
1 and that, in carrying out this scheme,
i our Republic has* forcibly maintained a
usurper in power that ho might sell bis
country, and his death blow at the in
, dependence of the Black Republic of
Hayti, which, besides faring a wrong to
that Republic, was nu insult to the
African race. And all this has been
done by prerogative alone, without the
1 authority of an act of Congress. If such
a transaction, many-beaded, is wrong,
can escape judgment, it is difficult to *ee
what securities remain. What other
snored rule of international law may not
be violated ? What other foreign nation
may not be struck at ? What other bel
ligerent menace may not be hurled ?
lit hat other kiugly prerogative may not
tic smzed ?
On another occur ion I showed how
(those wrongful proceedings hod been
sustained by the President beyond all
example, bat in a corresponding sprit.
Never liefore lias there leeu such Presi
dential intervention in the Senate as we
have leeu constrained to witness. Presi
dential visits to the Capitol, with appeals
|to Senators, have been followed by as
semblies at the Executive Mansion, also
with appeals to Senators ; and who can
, measure the pressure nil kinds by him
self or agent!, especially through the
appointing power, all to secure the con
summation of this scheme ? In harmony
with this effort was the Presidential
message, where, while taxing the Senate
with " folly"' in rejecting the treaty, we
are gravely assured that by the promised
acquisition " our large debt abroad is to
I be ultimately extinguished," thus mak
ing Santo Domingo the pack-horse of
our vast loal, or, perhaps, copying Don
Ouixote when be imposed upon the
shoulders of Saneho l'anza the peni
tential stripes which belonged to him
self. Then, responding to the belligerent
, menace of his Admiral, the President
makes a kindred menace by proposing
nothing less than the acquisition of the
" Ldand of Santo Domingo," thus lidding
the Black Republic to his scheme. The
innocent population there were startled.
Their Minister hero protested. Nor is
it unnatural that it should lie so. Sup
pose the Queen of England, in her speech
at the opening of Parliament, had pro
posed in formal terms the aoqnisition of
the United States, or suppose Louis
| Napoleon, iu his speech at the opening
i of the Chambers during the Mexican
! War, while the French forces were in
Mexico, had coolly proposed the acquisi
tion of that ixirtion of the United States
1 adjoining Mexico and stretching to the
' Atlantic, and, in support of his proposi
j tion, had set forth the productiveness of
, the soil, the natural wealth that abounded
: there, and wound up by announcing that
out of this might lie iid the French
debt abroad, which was to be saddled
I upon the coveted territory. Suppose
such a proposition by Louis Napoleon or
by Jthe English Queen, made in formal
speech to Chambers or Parliament, what
would have been the feeling in our
country ? Nor would that feeling have
been diminished by the excuse that the
offensive proposition crept into the
speech by accident. Whether by speech
or design, it would attest small consider
ation for our national independence. All
this is shown by the reports which reach
as now, even ii their whole history did
not attest it.
The language uf the President in
charging the tjenate with "folly" was
not according to ap|iroved precedent*.
Clearly, this i* not a proper term to W
employed by cue btineh of the Govern
ment with regard to another—least of all
by the Ihestdent with regard to tho
Senate. Folly, Sir ! Was It folly when j
the Henate refused to aaiictiou proceed
ings by which the Equal Right* of Uie
I thick Republic were a-witled f Waa it
folly not to sanction hoatilitiea against
tlie'lllnek Republic without the authority
of (Vingres* '' Waa it hilly not to souo

country without the authority of I'on- j
gnu*? Was it folly not to aauctiou a
usurpation of the Nt'ar Powers uuder the
Constitution f Aeoordiug to tba Prvsi
ih'iit all this waa folly iu Uie Henate. I *-t
the country judge.
Thna Jo wo discern, whether on the
coast* of Hanto Doiutugo, or here at
Washington, the same determination,
with the same disregard of giwat priu
eiploa, aa also the same rcckleaniiea*
toward the people of llayli, who have
never lujurod ita
In view of these things, the ft rat sub
ject of iuquiry ia not noil, climate, pro
duetivonena, auJ j* mobilities of wrulUi,
but the exoepUoual auJ abnormal
proceeding* of onr own (tavernwont,
lliia inquiry ia ecaaotaally preliminary
to character. Before considering the
treaty or any question of acquisition, we
must at leust put oorwltwi right na a na

Therefore on the question of aixpiisi
tion I say nothing U-day. only alluding
to certain points involved. Hoowfintt
it ia insisted that emigrant* will hurry iu
large numbers to this tropical island
when once annexed, and thus swell ita
menus ; but this allegation forgets that,
uceordtug to the testimony of history,
peueeful emigration travel* with the sun

lels of longitude, mainly following the
isothermal line, Aiid not turning off at

Sometimes it is insisted that it will Ih

annexed to our Republic ; but Una alle
gation forgets the transcendent question,
whether it is better for them 1 wlter for the
African race, Iwetter for civilisation, Utat
the Black Republic should be absorbed
out of sight, instead of Wing fostered
into a suoctwaful example of aetf-goveru
raect for the redemption of the race, not
oul v is the Cam Wan Islands, lut on the
eoutiueut of Africa. Then, again, arises
that other question, whether we will as

that business, as it has iieen puram tl
with the alternative of expenditures for
—ar-hijs and troops, causing most pain
ful anxieties, while the land of Touaaaint

per of independence. Aud there is still
thnt other question of dt bta and obliga
tions acknowledged and unacknowledg
ed, wiUi an immense claim by Hayti ami
an unsettled botiutlary which I have
already railed a bloody lawsuit.
Theae questions I state only. Mean
while to my mind there is something,
lietter than belligerent intervention and
acta of war. with Uie menace of alssirp
tion at untold coat of treasure. It is a
M nee re and humane effort on our part,
in the spirit of peace, to reconcile Huvti
and Dominica, and to establish tr iDquU
ity throughout the island. l**t thia he
attempted aud our Republic will become
an example worthy of its name and of
the civilization which it represent*, while
republican institutions will have new
glory. The blesaiug* of good men would
.it tend such an effort, nor would -the
smile of Heaven be wanting.
And may we not justly expect the Pres
ident to unite in such a meaurv of |w*oe
and good will ? "lis that ruleth his spir
it ia greater than he that taketh a city,"
and ao th" I "resident ruling his spirit in

Kojalty in Marriage.
The marriage of the Princess Louise
is the only instance in English history
since the reign of Edward 111., five cen
turies since, of the daughter of a living
crowned head marrying a subject
Marriages have occurred aincc that period
between prince**** and subjects, but at
most in five canes, and under peculiar
I circumstances. The Princess Elisabeth,
daughter of Jamea I. ami widow of the
King of Bohemia, is uudeistond to have
privately married Lord Craven, at whose
house, in Drury-lane, she died a few
months after her return from exile with
her nephew, Charles 11. ; but the cir
cumstances of the marriage are extremely
obscure, and the Queen waa entirely re
leased from royal control. The Princess
Mary, sister of Henry VTII., took the
opportunity, much to the indignation of
her brother, of marrying Charles Bran
don, who was sent to fetch her lsck
from France on the death of her htuiband,
Ismis XII. ; but the in-culiaritv of thin
cane u also obvious. Henry Vll. per
mitted three of the .laughters of Elward
IV., and sisters of his own Queen, to
marry the heads of the famili of How
ard, Oiurtenay, and the now extinct
Welles ; but Henry the ATI. never fully
j recognised the legality of the royal title
j of his father-in-law-
It ha# been illegal during th lost 100
year* for it momlier of the royal family
to marrv a subject, unless the royal per
sonage intruding to contrnrt such marri
age had received the special sanction of
the sovereign, and this approval cxtcud#
only to case# when the intended royal
bride or bridegroom is under '25 year* of
age—over that age, the sanction of Par
liament is necessary. This was strin
gently laifl down in what is known ss
the Royal Marriage net, which wna pass
ed in 1 < 72, at the iuatanee of King (leorge
111., who was indignant at the marriage
of his brother William Henry, I hike of
Gloucester, in 1776, with the widow of
Earl Waldgrave, an illegitimate daughter
of Sir Edward Walpole. Hi* brother
Henry Frederick, the Duke of Cumber
land, in like manner, had offended the
King by his marriage, in 1771, with
T<ady Anno Lnttrell. daughter of Earl
Caruampton, and widow of Mr. Charles
Horton of Catton Hall, Derbyshire. It
is well-known that the late Duke of Sus
sex braved hia father's displeasure, and,
in defiance of that enactment, went
through the ceremony of marriage with
the late Lady Augusta Murray, second
daughter of John, fourth Earl of Dun
more, first at Rome in April, 1793, and
again at St. George's Hanovorsquare,
London, after the publication of banns
on the sth of December following. The
Duke, having been left a widower, mar
ried as hia second wife lardy Cecelia
Letitia Buggin, a daughter of Arthur,
second Eai 1 of Arran, now Duchess of
Inverness. In the like manner George
IV., while Prince of Wales, contracted a
secret marriage with the celebrated Mrs.
Fitzherbert; but in none of the above
cases was the royid sanction given to the
union.

WOMKN IN Conrr.—The cause of wo
men. in Wyoming says an Exchange,
goes bravely on. At the last sitting of
the District Court in Albany county,
!oth the Grand and Petit Juries were
equally composed of either sex. and Chief
Justice Howe presiding, took advantage
of this occasion to compliment iu the
highest terms, the intelligence, discrimi
nation, honesty, sad propriety of con
duct with which tlie women acquitted
themselves last session, saying they had
gone far to vindicate tlie policy, justify the
cx|>eriniciit and nxilize the expectations
of those who hod clothed themselves
with the right Tlie liar, and beach,
and the intelligent men of tlie country
had long felt that something was needed
to improve and justifv our jury system ;
something to lift it above prejudice and
liassion, and iiubne it with a higher re
gard for law-, justice, oath, and con
science. His Honor then, expressed the
opinion that tlie introduction of the new
element furnished good reason to expect
that to women we should ultimately lie
indebted for those reforms which the
unaided exertions of men had lieen
incompetent to effect This is certainly
a most flattering presentment of the
results of enfranchising the sex in Wy
oming, and wliat is better it seems to be
substantially a just one.
Is London, every eight minutes, night

three times as many as Greece, and 400

its vast populntion of nearly 4,000,000 it
lias 140,000 habitual gin drinkers, 100,-

to the police as thieves and receivers of
stolen goods, 500,000 habitual frequent
ers of public houses, and 60,000 street
Arabs. To keep this vast multitude of
disorderly characters in something like
obedience to the law, 6,000 policemen
are necessary. Of the population of the
city, only about 500,000 attend public

dracends by the Valley of the Columbia

land is waiting for the plough, with a
climate almost exactly the name as that
of New York, except that, with less snow,
cattle, in the larger jmrtion of it, can
-rutwist on the open range in winter.
Here, if cUmate and fertility of aotl pro

able to par back the loan, supposing that it is
not cancelled by returns of surplus, he can do
so. There are many persons who need a large
insurance at the beginning, and for them the
note is an accommodation.

The San Domingo (Jne*tlon.
Commissioner Wade has finished his
rejiort, and submitted it to his brother
Commissioners. It begins by detailing
the work of the Commission, and goes
on to describe the political condition of
the country. Mr. wode tak s the ground
that Bscz is the tir fortn President of the
Republic, and that he is in full and
pracefnl possession of the Government ;
that Cnbnd is a mere bandit, living in a
mountain district, where he ia sustained
by Havti. The people of San Domingo,
Mr Wade aays, are overwhelmingly in
favor of annexation. They are describ
ed as a quiet, orderly, industrious race.
The charges of corruption against Uni
ted State officers in the negotiation of
the treaty of lfltat are branded a slander*,
without foundation. The report, which
is favorable to annexation in every par
ticular, close* with the remark that " to
embrace this opportunity to plant our
republic institutions and cstaluisli civil
litierty and American civilization upon
that lieautiful and productive island, thus
laying the ground work of a great free
atid prosperous State, would add another
to the achievements of onr Republic,
worthy to rank with the great events of
our history, and wonld be equally bene
ficial to the people of both countries."
Dr. Howe indorses Mr. Wado's report
in eve% essential particular. Mr. White
objects to the closing paragraph of the
report, but Mr. Wade ia firm in his de
termination that it shall not be stricken
out, and Dr. Howre fully agrees with him
and will sign it
HOM.NAMPCL.IBM. -A young lady was
addicted to this affliction. Knowing her
failing, her friends made a point of lock
iug-tlie door and securing the window
of her chamber in such a manner that
she could not possibly get out. One
night these precautions were unfortn
nstely overlooked, and in a paroxism of
somnambulism she walked into the gar
den behind the house. While there she
was recognized by some of the family,
who were wnrned by the noise she made
on opening the door, and they followed
and awoke her; bat such was the effect
produced upon the nervous system, that
she almost instantly expired.
A storv is good until another is told :
A Wyoming paper says that the people
of the Territory will soon " abandon
woman suffrage as both mischievious
and impracticable."
