Fcoiiomy. The following is the tetesapbk report of thespccWi ot' Mr. PiWM, Chairman of the Coramitte of Appropriation, in the national limine of Heprescutatives, on the 13th. Tin- bill tiruier discussion was the one providing fof the transfer of the Phi ladelphia Navy Yard to League Island: Mr. Dawes, of M assachttsetts, opposed UM hill, because under it the Secretary of the Navy could sell $oMM)0,0u0 ot property at private sale, of the Philadelphia navy yard, to whom he pleased, when he pleased and at what terms he pleased, the only obligation on hira beinir that he should obtain the approval of the President, who, from the nature of his duties, could pay 0 attention to the proceedings; becaus the Treasury was not in funds abundant cnoinrh to undertake the work; and because this being a time of MOM no en-lar-r. rn. nt of the navy yard is needed. Mr I ) iwes criticised the estimates furnish ed by Tin- Navy PcjMltlllf, which pro mm, besides eight hundred thousand for Leatrue Island, a total expenditure of $::,;uT.-:i4,air inst $-.-.1,000 iastycar. The estimates did not inspire him with much conndence. thmich the Secretary promised to effect a ving of two millions in the article of coal alone, which had only cost $150,000 fof the last two years. That was an achievement in mat hematics which found parallel only in the achievements of the Po-tmaster- General, who proposes to save five millions per year by ÜM abolition of the frankincr privilege, while - C7 a W I ranked matter would not produce two kaadfed thousand. The book ot estimates for the next fiscal year c-mtnintd appropriations for public WOrkfl of f24,t25,17'l1 ttptinst appropriations lor tint same obieets la-t vearof $".- 493,000. The administration of Ar.dnw loll tot had beea accused of Dfofligaej in expenditure : people had tried it on that charge, louml it guilty, and taken from it the sceptre of power, and put it in th a hands of the Republican party, on is professions of economy in adminL-iration of puhlic service. The people intended to hold them to their promises. 3ut trltat Was the tir-t evidence they put forth to the country of their d termination to carry out their pledgee! "While he knew the ungracious position he occupied, he proposed to speak plainly and truly to his party friends in the House. He knew t icre was not much comfort to be derived from the wound of a friend. Andrew Johamn, in the fast year of his administration, had estimated that M could carry on the government for 3O3,00 1,000, and that am unt had been cut down over t3Qj0OO,OOQl What did UiehT own administration estimate that it c ml 1 cany on the govt riaeat one year tor?

Not entering into the estimate, WM a little sugar plum of eight hundred thousand for League Island, ad bc k of it also were the millions that would be added by the Senate to appropriation bills as they pawed the House. la this House alone Badges of the Republican party were to fa redeemed. They could have no aid eiihcr at the other end of the avenue or the other end of t ha Capital ; and he put it to the representative of the people whether they would inaugurate new public works on the broad estimate of Mr. Wilson. He hi I a rijht to complain rf ths ffirr end of the ireuue, that with all its professions of economy, and with all the heralding by telegraph and otherwise of n bi' tion, there tra tmi em tjf fit ass 4ope ft mtnU, that did not estimate anincrmsc of Utters o-'tr the mpmrepriaUsms of la.st year. The except kn was the poor, unpopular Attorney- ieneral : and M hoped H rat not bccaOBe of that remarkable trait in his character that it was eoato mplated at the other mil of the Capital to relieve him from further public service, and drive him into private lite. There was a new pott offce at New York which the archited Mid would eot$lO,im,M) and granite for which was estimated to cost $4,000,000. Were they going on with such cxpeaditiiresV re th.-v ?oi n e to put $3.000.000 from the ok Philadelphia Navy Yard and h.im)o,hk) from the Treasury into Lteif a Ist u 1, when they m:ght as well wait 5 years. Two things seemed to be desired ; Reduction of the public debt by the adminitration, and a relief from the burdens of taxation by this House. Neither of these thines could he accompli-hed without the other thing, which both overlooked a reduction of expenditures. How was it proposed ac the other end of the avenue to pay the public lebt unless expenditures Were reduced? How did the House proj e to r' l lev? the people and enterprise and capital of the country from the burdens of taxation under which they were groaning OB ten the expenditures were reduced? He called upon the mcmhers of the Hou.-e to stand by the Committee of Appropriations in the pledge which it aon ravc to the country that it would cut down these eathejatei hewne the flaurea at which the country took away the po w er of Andrew .Johnson. In order to do that, they sansl foreco any private interests, and private and imaginary political gain m loenlities by expenditure of B&OHer. They must rise above those considerlions and look to fifeneral result. And then the lingers of industry would agai.-i ply their work, enterprise would gafal courage, the country would go on in prosperity and in development, and the nation would in years that were to come build navy yards at League Island, and Ht New London, and amplify those at Boatoa audi Portsmouth, aud all over ti.. country. Ii that should be the policy re woul.i be a reduction of expenditures so that thereby people atigfct be Believed from burdens off taxation at one )id of the avenue .and the public debt might le paid ;.t the other. It was with this view and because he lajlieved it to be the test iQestioa he would move to lay the bill on the table, and would on that motion call the yeas and nays, so that the people could kaosrwhe Would stand by the Committee n Appropriations in its attempt to curtail the expenditures of the government. fiOTcruim nt Expenses, Tin; leaden of the Congressional reports in the late editions of Tuesday's Hi pre (repeated in our 1st Sd and M edi tioM of to-day) must ha impressed with the hj poerisj of Um administration in its pretensiOM to teoneaay.

5th. Andrew Johnson, in the last year of his administration, estimated that he could carry on the government for $303,000,000, and even this amount Congress cut down over 100,000,000: and what did

Grant's administration estimate would earrv on the administration oft he government a year for? $oll,097,174 an increase of over $,000,000 beyond the amount required by Andrew Johnson, an 1 an increase of $42,000,000 over the amount appropriated the for present year. After this ventilation of the extravagance of the Administration in the Navy and other Departments, we hope to hear lesa of Democratic extravagance in this city and State. We hope and expect that taxes ill not be increased here or in the State The' ought to be reduced, and we beJ: eve they will be reduced ; but in the meat time, we call upon the Radical Press to point thtir guns towards Washington City, and to behold the beams in their own "eyes, and then they may more clearlv disetrn the mote in the eyes of their neighbors. iTw York Stprm, Jan. 19. The Question Decided. The Legislature of Ohio has repealed t',;-: act of the preceding Legislature, which repealed the act of its legislative predecessors, ratifying the proposed "Fifteenth Amendment." Every Republican member of the body voted for the act of repeal, thus recognizing the validity of the. net which was rcnealcd. And a Washington telegram tells the country that the paaaage of this repealing act "is the subject of much congratulation among the Republicana. It is hoped that this action of the Ohio Republicana, ami this rejoicing thereat by the Washington Republicans, will stop, from this time forth, the fWM of those Radical newspaper jurists and statesmen who hav so vehemently argued that a State, having once voted by its Legislature to ratify an amendment to the Federal Constitution, could not afterward rescind the ratifying act, notwithstanding that the proposed amendment had not become .-.a actual amendment. The Republicans in the Ohio Legislature have exhibited better sense than to adopt any such absurd view. They have decided, to the full stent that their action decides anything, thai, it is entirely competent for a State Legislature to pass a resolution rati nying such proposed amendment, to rescind that resolution, to pass it over again, and to rescind it over again, as many times and as often as the legislative body sees fit, until the amendment actually becomes a part of the Constitution by the positive ratification of three fourths of all the States. And this decision is right, by every principle of law, logic, or common sense. Bnt the decision of the Ohio Republicans makes it a little awkward for Mr. Roscoe Conkling, one of the Radical Senators for the State of New York. The Nov York Legislature has rescinded its resolution ratifying the proposed amendment, just as the Ohio Legislature, preceding the present one, did. Mr. Conkling presented the rescinding resolution of his State to the Federal Senate with a very wry face, and announced his intention, at a future time, to make a speech, proving that his State couldn't do ansuch thing! The Ohio Republicans have been interfering with Mr. Conkling'l line of argument in a way thai cannot be satisfactory to thai Senator. Chienyo Timm, Loyalty " and Monopolies. It is a significant fact that the Republican newspapers which arc now most carnest and persistent in demanding a reduction of taxation, tacitly admit that our present tarifi and internal revenue laws are framed to favor monopolists and oppress laboring men and uiu. with small capital. One of the most prom nent Republican newspapers in New Vok has recently been pressing this fact upon the attention of its readers in a mannet which has provoked more than a little harsh criticism from the New York Tribune, and in the controversy which has ensued, Mr. Greeley's political economy has met with some sharp tmffeta The Chicago Tribune, alarmed by the disaffection which the depression in business and a stringent money 1 rket, joined toJheav taxation, have produced, is also crying ont against monopolists, and urging such an amendment of o ;r financial system as will release labor j from the unjust burdens now imposed upon it. Whether the demand within the ruling party for a reduction of taxation will be sufficient to influence Congress to grant the reform asked for, is a quest km now of such a doubtful character that no prediction can safety be made concerning ', it. " j The fact of greatest Interest m the discussion hy the Republican press of a pro- 1 posed reduction of taxation, is the admision to which we have referred. It, is admitted that our financial legislation is di- I recti? calculated to protect capital and mo- ' nopolics at the expense of labor. 'I 'his is the result either of ignorance or ; design in Congress. It is not the result o ignorance, because the unjust distiuc- 1 t ions in favor of certain classes are f-tt plain that men of the most ordinary int lligence can see them. Commissioner 1 Weils, in his annual n ports, lias repeat edly shown that under the operation of ur tariff laws, " the rich are growing richer and the poor poorer.1 Hehaa sob- i Stantiated this statement by statistics drawn from all section a of the country, and which be saya are aa full and complete as any erer gathered to establish a feet I connect ( . v:: i the fem ra condition ot i sK-iety. Among advocates rf the theory of protection, not directly interested in any of the branch s of trade named below, it is admitted that t lie duties on coal, sali, iron, ppcr, and .'umhe: are iniquitous, hecose they are imposed not to enable producers of those articles to bear up gainst fair competition, hut to crush competition and obtain absolute control of the market. They are imposed to establish and perpetuate monopolies, and are especially oppressive upon the poor, because they are tax-.s upon articles which are consumed by every family in the country. If to rob a man of his labor, and make him work for another without paying him for it, rcdocm him to slavery, the majority of men in the United States are in a condition of serfdom to day. No Legree who ever nourished a whip above the back of a saintly neg It) could be more inexorable and tyrannous than the tax gatherers. Will the "loyal press which demands a reduction of taxation tell for what purpose our financial system was made all i r the rich and all against the oor What does the ruling party gain by such a system 1 It has handed together the capital of the country in Us support. Congress protects monopolists because they are willing to scatter money freely to sustain the party in power. To strike a blÖW el a monopoly is to make war on a power which is thoroughly enlisted in defence of the Republican part'. The party exists by corruption, and" depends on classes instead of the people at large, for its triumphs. ffl leaps Timen. A Ulse Man. At a late hour yesterday evening, a rather rustic looking individual waa seen standing on the corner of Canal and Baron ne street, intently regarding the t t eet earn as they arrived and departed. Several persona passing along the street, sumrised at the unusual aspect of the man, paused to look at him. It Wai thought by many that he was insane, r sflheted with some consuming grief. So long and silently did he stand there that a gentleman, unalde to control his curiosity, epproaehed him witb the inquiry: ' Are yon waiting for any one V" "No, sir." " Mav I inquire why you remain here so long?"" " floes it interest you?" M It excites my curiosity." " Indeed f" 44 Yes." " Well, I'll tell you, stranger; I loaned a fellow a $1,000 draft awhile ago to get changed. He Stepped around the corner, and will fe lck directly. " Who was the fellow F "I came down the river with him; he wanted to borrow lo, ami 1 hadn't DO change."

Signature of the Cross. TnK mark which persons who arw unable to write are required to make instead of their signature, is in the form of a Cross; and this practice having formerly been followed by kings and nobles, is constantly referred to as an instance of the deplorabls ignorance of ancient times. This sitrntture is not, however, invariably a proof ot such ignorance. Anciently, the use of this mark was sol confined to illiterate persons ; and it is still always used by Kornau Catholic bishops as part of their signatures, Among the Saxons, the ma i k l the cross, as an attestation of the good faith of the person signing, was r united tobe attached to the signature of those who could not write. In those times, if a man couM write, or even read, his knowledge was considered proof presumptive that he was in holy orders. The word elerinin, or clerk, was synoymous with penman; and the laity, or people who were not clerks, did not feel any urrent necessity for the use of letters. The aneii at use of the cross a as, therefore, universal, alike by those who could and those who could not write ; it was, in deed, the symbol ot an oalli from its holy Associations, and generally the mark Oh this account, Mr. üharlea Knight, in Ins notes t tbe M Pictorial Shakspeare," es plains the expression of "o. save the niiirk," as a form of ejaculation approach' Ing t the character of hi oath.

It has heen found that scalding a vessel with hot water will have an eneci mai cannot otnerwise oe ootained. What is the effect? Simply the de struction of little snores of fermentation, which propagate rapidly in dirt, and in the least dirt, so little that it cannot be seen (with the naked eye.) Experience led here, and philosophy followed to cor roborate it. Yon cannot cleanse a vessel, then, with out hot water. And this water must not only be smacking hot, biting your hand, but it must be absolutely boiling hot, up to the point. Then you will kill all the live animalculaj ; otherwise, you will not. And when the vesst 1 is thus treated cleaned first, and scalded afterward set it away to dry, and do not touch it again till it is wanted lor miik. Milk, remember, is a powerful absorbent, like charcoal, or plaster, or earth ; and it will hold what it gets, improving on the rankness. In winter this is less the case, yet it is the case ; ia summer it is all important to at tend to it. I low necessary then to see that the hands having the handling of milk in charge, are to be trusted. This is as necessary as any thing, and is the first neces sitythe necessity on which hang the rest. The dirt being away, the air must he pure. I his you cannot scald ; you must there fore resort to other means and these means are, not a confined bad air of the cellar or milk rooms, especially foul with vegetable .odors; nor the aroma of the dunghill; the rank, urinal steam of the stables; nor in the case of a chee facto ry, the proximity to a pig pen; but in avoidance of all of them for these things will as certainly affect the milk as the dirt left in the nan. An absolute freedom from everything that is offensive in odor or flavor, is the requisite to prune cheese, or a first quality . sa uri i . oi ouiier. w no nas nor i elected tne com mon taint of the stables in milk and cream? ( Ian this be endun d I Putter kept in the room over right with the family (in winter), is not tit to use. It has absorbed so much of the odors that it has become foul. The taste of the bad air is plainly perceptible. Put cover your butter plate (not an old one) with a tight dish say a tin basin, and your butter will be round much the same as when it was placed. It is, however, only perfect when kept not occasionally put in pure air. House keepers take note. When once tainted it can never be cured, but tena ciously holds all it has, and gets all it can. Like charcoal, or gypsum, or earth, it is a powcriui absorber. From the time it is gathered in the cow until it is eaten in the family, the greatest care must be given to the 'lacteal product. Not only that, it reaches still farther ; the food, the wafer must not possess the odor. But generally the worst is in the vessels and the atmosphere t bat comes in contact with it. These, at least if impure, impart their impurity, however impure the milk may have been before Prairie Farmer, USEFUL RECIPES, ETC To Sktti.e COFFER.

Nk ku w hine over what you may suppose to be Loss of opportunities. Every man who wishes it may educate himself. Many a servant has listened with attention while his master's children were saving their letters, and by putting together what he thus learned, acquired the dementi of spelling.

Let the past go, and bend every energy to the improvement of the present. To Cue ah Silk or Mbbinos. Grate two or three large potatoes, add to them a pint of cold water, let them stand a short time, pour od the liquid clear, or strain it through a sieve, when it will be lit for use.

Iron while damp, on the wrong side. Should the silk be of more than one coior, it is desirable to wet a small piece first, lest the dress should be spoiled by moisture, causing the colors to run; but fin self-colored silks, the direction is an excellent one; and satinets, even ot light colors, if not greased r stained, will make up again almost equal to new. 7 Houeehcld, A COnnS8POKDKNT of the New York Tribune gives the following facts about onions, most of them authenticated by several witnesses. When at New I h'leans, In charge of 100 men, among whom cholera was raging, he observed that those who ate freely Of onions were surely and fatally attacked; he has, however, found Oinlons were Specially potent in cases of poisonous bites, his sun .nd others having been cured from snake bites by their use. Be also knows of a man who in the frensy of hydrophobia ate oni 'lis voraciously and recovered. In cases of epidemic he has observed: 1. That onions in the loom with small-pox patients decay rapidly, blisters appearing on them 2. Th at they retain snd communicate the virus many weeks. B. That they prevent the small pox by thus absorbing the virus. I. That when applied to the reetof fever patients they quickly turn black. He infers from these fact i that onions posai ss si rong medical properties, thai they shoo I not be eaten during epidemics, and that they are, probably, among the most effective absorbents of blood poisons we have, as well as excellent disinfectants. A LOVSUH of good coll", o sends to Hearth and Bmt th" following iliteclions for making a good article : " Have your pot made with an elongated bottom, so as to tit Into 1 he tea kettle, and extend to w ithin an inch ol the bottom of the latter, toil not touch it. Now prepare your codec in the usual manner, see that the kettle is boiling briskly, then turn into the coffee a lufflcienl quantity of boiling water, and et the coflee-pol Into the lea kettle, and keep the kectie boiling briskly for fifteen nr twenty minutes, or as much longer as on please, for any length of time will hardly Impair the quality, lor the coffee

will not boil. Faithfully follow these i l . a. I

plain directions that is, let the water be boiling when poured on the coffee, and keep the kettle boiling afterward and I defy your Biddy, or anybody's Biddy, to make poor coffee. I have now tried this method for six months, with unvarying success. It is virtually the French method, without its great expense. So perfectly is the aroma preserved, that one can scarcely perceive the odor when cooking. Still more, if you are such a devotee of the fragrant berry as to desire to bow before the altar at noon, you have only to set your kettle and pot on the back of the stove, asd aller dinner partake of the same cheering cup, with but little, if any, deterioration. Be Careful of Stock in Winter. Stock that is in good health and not worked, if it has a range of pasture and access to water will take care of itself in summer; but this it cannot do in winter. because the grass does not grow ; it is thus thrown upon the mercy of its owner, who sometimes happens to be mereüem and the poor creature is only half fed and of course deteriorates in value or maybe dies, starved to death. The great reason why so many farmers tail to make money by their business is, because they do not conduct it in the best manner. Every farm should be stocked, but all farms should not be stocked alike The Selection of stock requires judgment ami this judgment is acquired partly by study and partly by experience. The farm rhust be stocked to suit the market w here it is located, and to suit the number of acres and quality of the soil. If you are near a hog market stock largelv with hogs, such as will grow and fatten in the shortest tune on the least lood. it near a mutton or wool market stock largely w ith sheep, it your land is suitable for that purpose, somewhat hilly or rolling; and so of other stock, being careful always not to over-stock. To make a profit on stock it must have the best care, be fed regularly, plentifully, kept clean and otherwise well attended to both summer and winter, but particularly in winter To succeed in stock raising the farmer must have a taste for it, must fe d a pride in having it look well, and always select that variety lor which he has a taste and make it pay. American Stoc. Journal. m 4 m Lay Your Plans for the Year. No business should be conducted on haphazard principles, and fanning is no exception to the general rule. Now, at the commencement of the year, every farmer should cast over in his mind what he will do and how he will do it. Which fields he will farm with corn, which with outs, wheat, cotton, or tobacco; which he will pasture, which mow, or which plant in potatoes. I low7 much help he will require, where it is to come from and what it will cost. How much capital is invested, if less would do it more is required, and how much. All these things should be noted on a memorandum, which can be altered from time to time, if he sees proper to do so. To conduct any business without a system to govern it, is like groping in the dark; you may catch a good haul by accident, or you may sink your capital for want of forethought. Do not depend on hiial thought, it comes too late ; though sometimes instructive, it is very expensive and dangerous to be indulged in. When you have laid your plans of what is t be done, provide the means to do them with, do them well and in the right time. These are very important considerations, and should by no means be neglected. Do not depend on purchasing seed when the time lias come for planting or sowing, or you may have to take such as have been refused by others and pay the highest price for it. If there are new implements to be purchased, or old ones to be repaired, see to it in time. Get the best they are the cheapest in the end. Keep the brain at work as well as the hands. Rise with the sun, or before it, and retire early. American Stock Journal. Winter Clothing for Little Ones. A young child In winter needs garments warm enough to allowr of its sitting comfortably on the door. To be sure it ought not to sit there long at a time. I know it would be an uncomfortable seat for me. I should be cold and should soon get weary in back and limbs. No, baby Shall sit mostly in her crib, or in a high chair beside the table. But she will want to creep before warm weather, and I shall wish to have her do so. Creeping soils the clothes, but it strengthens the back, and is a good preparation for walking. Her new garments should reach only to her toes, that they may not be in the way when dear old nurse nature (who knows better than any one else w hen these advances should be made) begins to pull the little one upon her feet. She shall have long woolen stockings and home-made doth shoes. These are softer and better than the shoes usually bought for babies who have not learned to walk. It is easy to cut a pattern from a little morocco shoe. Very nice ones can be made of thick broadcloth or cloaking, lined with drilling or strong flannel, with the seams laid open and telled down. Her active little legs should not depend too much upon her skirts for warmth. She shall have "knee breeches" such as were invented for her little brother before it was convenient to put drawers on him. I made them of flannel, with four little gores in the bottom (instead of gathers) and a strong tape fastened to the top on the end of which was a button to fasten through a hole in the petticoat waist. A soft, sleeved, flannel shirt to envelop the arms, chest, back and bowels; a warm woolen skirt, with a loose waist buttoned behind, and suspended from the shoulders by easy straps; a lined flannel dress, cut in the pretty style called tiabriella, and a sleeved apron, complete a winter suit for our half year old baby. There are mothers who will think this quite too much clothing for a child of that age, especially upon the arms. It is not unusual to sue little girls of eight or ten years, who have never in any season worn long-sleeved dresses, a sleeved apron or s;iek being deemed sufficient protection from cold. Who would think of dressing a boy in that way? What sense is there in such a distinction ot dress? Of late, fashion seems to be coming t the rescue, but we cannot put our trust in fashion. We must be guided by common sense. Oer, Aim riean Agricv.lt urit. simple Cookery A great deal is written about the importance ot training our daughters to be ex perienced cooks, whatever their position in life is likely tobe. Asthat usually means we should teach them to prepare a great many curious dishes in a most marvelous way, requiring unlimited time and patience not to mention very generous supplies of ingredients. Now, It, may be very valuable at times to know all about these curious 14 made dishes," but for every day use it would be well for us to tone down our own and our children's tastes. We should strive to give them a laste for sim pie dishes, prepared to perfection, rather than for elaborate, highly seasoned ones. Skill In simple cookery is one of the finest and most useful accomplishments a voting ladv can have. Let her graduate in the art of bread making, taking in the whole department, Nothing conduct more to the health of a household than tiood bread, and every family likes a rariety in this article. Hho has here a wide range for her Ingenuity. Simple mashed potatoes, nicely seasoned with cream, salt and pepper, are much better and more wholesome than raw potatoes pared round and round, like Bhavinga, and boiled ha hot lard until they are brown and crisp. They may not look qufte so fanciful, bnt I think any hungry man would prefer the mashed potah Sf Let the girls learn to cook simple food w II--not to drown the peas in too much water, nor to take up the greens when they are tlark and poisonous looking; nor set on potatoes which re watery and half cooked ; nor beafirteak which has soaked for half an hour in lukewarm fat. Let then h am to cook all these simple things perfectly, and then it will be time enough for fancy dishes. Ohl there is such a world of comfort around tables w heresimple things are done well. The children grow up with wholesome tastes that liojatler years of luxurious dissipation can wholly root out. They

will havefeounder bodies and more vigorous a? ii a - a a -I, -

constitutions than the children of luxury, and will escape many temptations which highly seasoned dishes are apt to lead them into. Artltur' Home Magazine. Packard's MosrmXT.
