Two Presidential tickets already In the field and the two great leading parties yet to hear from. Will have lively times this fall.

THE story on the sixth page, entitled "Sam Rice's Romance," is in that sketchy vein oeiginated by Bret Harte, and will be found to be very interesting.

THE nomination of B. Grate Brown for the Vice Presidency, recalls the last duel fought in Missouri, by which he and Thomas C. Reynolds settled a difficulty. The details of this affair of honor, written in an interesting and graphic style will be foand on the second page of this paper.

CIVILIZATION is making some headway among the Indians. On many of the reservations the courting of wives is now carried on in the same way as among the whites the marriage ceremony is performed before a missionary or an Indian agent, and the wedding certificate is taken, framed, and preserved carefully. Only one wife is allowed, and no price is demanded by the parents or given by the husband.

THE Democratic National Committee met in New York on Wednesday and determined on calling a National Convention at Baltimore on the 9th of July, for the purpose of nominating candidates for President and Vice President. The Greeley wing of the Democratic party hope that no nomination will be made. These two months of uncertainty will be terribly trying upon the discipline of the Democratic party. Still more so will it be upon Democratic editors who will hesitate to abuse Greeley for fear they may have to take it all back.

PROPHETS are. never respected in their own lands, and their times invariably treat them with contempt. While Joe Smith, the Mormon prophet, waa alive, he was regarded as an unoommon specimen of the mendacious, cheeky charlatan and hambng but now the world knows him as the originator of anew religion and the propagator of doctrines, the opposite ot those which Christ taught. Another ot these extraordinary prophetic lights has arisen in the West, in the form of a female. She preeaches the doctrine of a plurality of husbands, and shows carved stones, which she swear* oame direct from Heaven, without paying freight The carvings are hieroglyphics, which alone oan read, and they inculcate tbeioctrine that women are entitled to an in««flnltenumberhusbands. Strange as It appear, this prophetic soul Is neglect*} by an Ignorant and prejudiced eomthanity, and ahe lives in a worn-out an*y tent.

A PROHIKKST advertiser of New York received, a abort time aince, a letter directed to him at a street and number from which he removed over seventeen years ago, the writer stating that^ he had noticed.an advertisement In an old newspaper and wished to make some purchases in case he was still in business. This shows that newspapers are not always thrown away and their contents forgotten.

GOOD COOKS—GOOD EATING.

A Condensation of a Sensible Article.

Without kitchens and cooks life would soon oome to an end. Certain it is that there is one thing which no femily can possibly get along without and that ia a cook. Every day we must have our three meals and somebody muat be in the kitchen to prepare them for us. In view of all this, one would naturally infer, if he knew no better, that nothing of all we do, or have done lor us. would be so well done as the work of selecting and preparing our food. But such an inference would be egregriously .false. As a matter of feet there is nothing about which we are so ignorant and careless as our eating. The culinary art, instead of being the most advanced of all the arts, is, strange to say, the most backward. Our cooks, instead of being the most proficient of all our aervltors, aie in fact the most incapable. It is their business to minister to one ot the most important and indispensable of all our wants, and yet we may search up and down the whole field of human effort, and fail to find any example of work so systematically ill done as theirs.

Talk about education there is no eduoation which is half so much needed as instruction in the theory and practice of cooking. Let this art be raised up to the level even of our present knowledge and there would speedily take place such an Improvement In the health, morals and spirits of mankind as would amount almoat to a complete transformation of human charaoter. We shall never be as happy, virtuous, and healthy, as we ought to be until we have made the art of cooking an essential part of education, and all persons are forbidden to practice it who have not received a diploma from the schools. It is ot quite as muoh importance that we should have enlightened and accomplished cooks as that we should have scientific physicians.

The subject of cookery is one that ought to be agitated, At present it receives too little attention from the press. For instruction we must refer to works on hygiene, or content ourselves with an occasional article in a magazine. But it is net only dainty and fastidious eaters who suffer from the evil effects of bad cooking. Perhaps there Is not a man, woman or child in this city whose health has not been injured, or comfort disturbed, by the prevailing want of knowledge and skill on the part of those to whom is Intrusted the management of our kitchens.

Hence the Importance that people's minds be aroused to the necessity of reform, and no discussion can be more timely than a discussion of this subject. Animated by these convictions we are led to lay before our readers this week some very exeellent remarks from a lengthy and elaborate article on the "Want of the Age," which some earnest advocate of good cooking has contributed to the Pall Mall Budget, and which has been extensively copied by the press of the eastern cities. It will be noticed that he grapples with the subject In the most serious manner, and says many things which will be good for us to hear and still better to heed in the most practical fashion. He tells us that it Is not more churches, more curates, more governesses, more competitive candidates, that we need, but that the great want of the age is more and better cooks." And he Is right, for our cooks prepare what we eat, and if our eating should not be good then there Is no need that anything we use or do should be good. Here is a paragraph which ought to arouse the most inveteiate victim of bad oooking from a state of Indifference to the danger which surround his pathway. "Good Elating—by which I mean partaking leisurely and with discrimination of clean and well-cooked dishes of food In judicious and harmonious succession—Is conductive to health and happiness, and preserves, if it does not create beauty. It keeps the eyes bright and fair, and gives a peculiar polish and elasticity to the skin. Englishwomen are beautiful in spite of their cooking. Frenchwomen looked handsome and charming very often because of it. Our girla, as long as they are young and satisfy their appetites on milk, eggs, Ac., preserve, with the aid of fresh air and cold water, their fine 00mplexiona. But when married life begins, and the eating of heavy, badlyoooked, late dinners Is an inevitable duty, then we see cadaverous complexions, a blotchy or wrinkled skin, dimmed eyes, unwieldly proportions, purple visage, red nose's termination, hypocondria, liver complaint, with possibilities of apoplexy. Meager feeding la compatible with perfect health, though not with beauty but dirtily prepared, indigestible, unappetising food destroys both health and looks, the temper and the stomach it ruins a man's temporal happiness and Imperils his spiritual prospects lor how ahall he who cannot digest his food retain the equanimity aad temper of a Christian gontlsman Every person of rfn*r», sad even the majoritv of stupid peopla, will admit this nor will they doay the want of knowledge of the elements of the solsass of oooking our food isooeef our national deficiencies, aad one which we are just begianlngto realiss vary dssply. We srs hesvy, sad, sad tgaoraat fesders bat ws ars not gross aad grssdy feeders, liks the Germans, ths North Germans especially. This ia my aiad tally aooounts pertain brutal animalism which

(culture notwithstanding) ths Prussians ars si ways apt to exhibit when* ever they sre aflrald that they shall not have enough to sat, and the farther they get from the base of their food supplies, ths mors nervous, and ths more ssvage in consequence, they will become."

The writer does not pretend to ssy thst every housewife should do her own oooking, but, of thoss who can afibrdto keep the creatures they are plessed to call their cooks, and who dare to eat the decoctions and messes prepsred by them," he very plainly, and, aa we think, truly remarks, thst every woman ought to know the proper method of oooking whatever dish she chooses to command and in these days ot stoves snd othsr neat contrivances, a good deal might be effected, and much legitimate influence obtained, by simply using the services of an ordinary kitchen maid, controlled and directed by an ingenious, enterprising housewife." Of course, si 1 this is gospel truth, snd real wisdom but the trouble is, our fine young ladies, who are to be the housewives of the future, do not belive sword of it, and would deem it an insult if they were asked if they knew, or oared to know anything about cooking. Their answer would probably be, if any were youohssfed st sll, thst they designed to hire their cooking done, and never bother their pretty heads with such low subjects. Still if some good talker could only convince these ladles that their health, and still more their beauty and happinees very largely depended on the quality of their eating, perhaps they might be Induced to spend a portion of their valuable time in their kitchens. By giving more attention to sudh things aa cooking they would need to give less to the arte and contrivances that are resorted to tor the purpose of preserving good looks.

But, if the fine ladies are too good to study the art of cooking, there are others, our writer thinks, who ought to be made to learn it. There are orphans, foundlings, vagabonds, Arabs—well, I say, make them all into oooks. The want of this age is oooks. Here we have the raw material for supplying it, besides the really splendid prospects for the girls themselves. Now, a woman who understood as much of oooking as an ordinary Frenchwoman, who considered it in the same earnest and serious light, who was economical on scientific principles, who was exact in her quantities, rigid in her qualities, inteligent in her flavorings, and professionally and faatldlously clean in her properties— her pots, and pans, and eloths, and so on—would, I do not hesitate to say, obtain from £80 to £160, and be sure at last of the homage and Increasing affection ot one husband, or, if polygamy were allowed, of several."

The following is too good and too original for abridgement: I "There is no doubt that one-half of the food supply In England Is literally wasted from Ignorance of the way to cook It and the hypochondria and dyspepsia which are supposed to be our national characteristics arise from the game cause. Meat or flour, as the case may be, Is cooked or half cooked In an indigestible, unwholesome, unpalatable manner. That which is with us thrown Into the waste-tub would in skillful, artistic hands furnish admirable, suoculent, and Inviting dishes. In France, Holland. Belgium, Italy, and even In Spain, tne women perform all their culinary operations with Intelligence, and find legitimate pride in theresulta. In Germany the women also prepare the food In a fashion which, if unrefined, Is at least economical, and is well suited to the coarser appetites of the German male. I contend that after the three R's, instruction in cookery and in the economical use and preparation of food ought to be the one thing taught to the children of the poor, as being a sure means of making a comfortable BUio v. home and of earning readily an honorable competence. All foundlings, Arabs, the homeless and moneyless, when caught and housed, clothed and fed, ought to be made into oooks. Take, for example, those well-known Institutions, the foundling and the Albert and orphan asylums. If the authorities of these plscee were sensible, practical men they would every year turn out a fair number of ambitious, intelligent and skillful young cooks, and would, to uses phrase once more In vogue, deserve well of their oountry for so doing. Mora than this, It would be deeirable the girls of the lower middle classes, as well aa ot the very poor, should have their understandings informed and their attention invited to the profession. Their ambition should be stimulated by explaining to them the exoellent opportunities which are open to them, the liberal remuneration, the great consideration and comfort which even moderate abilities, with conscientious study, are sure to procure, and the really magnificent prospects which genuine capacity and inventive power, united to good conduct, are perfectly certain to realise. "Cooking must be taught theoretically, practically, and Individually, but on a small scale, and with science, simplicity, economy, and refinement, or the instruction will be useless for the purpose we have in view. Let us take our 000k in embryo, thirteen or fourteen years old. 8be must be sble to reads recipe, either printed or written, snd be able to copy one out. 8he may with advantage to herself be profoundly ignorant of physical geography, English history, snd the use of the globes but she most know sufficient arithmetic to calculate the expenses snd keep the soconnts. She most know her weights snd measures, liquid, apothecary's, and avoirdupois, socurstoly and by heart. Any exhibition of carelessness, levity, or btd conscience on this subject should be severely reprehended. An individual who talks stout pinch or haadfol of this or that condiment, a few onions, cupful of somethlag else —whether tea or breakfest CUD left unspecified—Is not lit to bes 000k aad too reason why men make better cooks than women is becsose of their greater regard for weights sod measures.

FEMALE FARM LABORERS. Start a story, ssys the Prairie Farmer, about a brawny womsn running farm—building the fences, plowing the fields, driving the rasper, picking up ths stones snd sll that—as some fellow did concerning a female land owner, near Canandaigua Lake last year—and it goes the rounds of the whole American press, half the editors spplsuding the Amason for her independence, industry and thrift. Hardly one stops to ssk if it Is womanly or proper, or civilized even.

One would almost conclude that mankind would prefer to have the female portion of the population do all the hewing of wood and drawing of water. But it ehould be remembered that suoh performances on the part of the females sre only croppings out of the barbariam that only a portion of the world has even yet emerged from. England baa plenty of It left In the agricultural districts, and it is not unknown in the manufacturing oounties. A late writer In the London Telegraph describing a trip into Staffordshire, where the women work at the blacksmith's forge aa long and as hard aa the men. He says it is not uncommon to find a mother and three. lusty daughters, fully of marriageable age, stripped to!thelr stays, and, with a kerchief over their shoulders, wielding the hammers and tugging at the bellows, making twelve hundred nails for twelve pence, and working from eight In the morning to ten at night. At Lye Waste, whole streets are made up theae smithies, in whloh these women and their children toil, year in and year out, beside^ their husbands and brothers. They have about as much refinement and intelligence as a "Digger" Indian. Let our women take to the plow and hoe, and we should soon have districts in which they will rival these musclar females of the Staffordshire smithies. We are disgusted with all this talk about women farmers. Let our girls take all the prizes at our universities drive all the men from the rostrum run our banking and brokerage keep our shops become Governors and Presidents, vote and be happy according to their capabilities but deliver us

from

female blacksmiths

and farm laborers. If man is not fitted for this work, we don't know what his particular sphere can be. ,•

"PEANUTS. I

As warm weather comes on the human mind and purse—especially the juvenile portion thereof—becomes excited on the subject of thatexhileratlng beverage known as the peanut, and therefore we deem It our duty to transmit to the readers of The Mall, the following information from the New York Sunday Dispatch under the head of What I Know About Peanuts

In defining the peanut, it is simply neoessary to state tnat it is the "Arachis Hopogea or groundnut, sometimes called pindar: while, on the other hand, the pindar is the"Arachis Hypogea," the groundnut or peanut. This we obtained after prolonged research, and It sets the matter so clearly before the reader that further explanation would appear pedantic. The neanut has been known in every age since Its discovery. It is not only a staple commodity, but an article of commerce and speculation, particularly with the plebeian class of juveniles denominated newsboys, bootblacks, Ac. It has become almost indispensable in affording entertainment between acts at theatres, in relieying the monotony of railroad and other modes of traveling, and has been used in most instances to keep up the interest In prayer meetings, weddings, Ac., by restless urchins unable to appreciate such occasions. We have hearo of a promising heir who was caught in the act of munching peanuts at the funeral of his mother, and another that was similarly detected at the wedding of a sister.

The peanut is eaten and appreciated, more or less, by the monarch on bis throne who sways his sceptre over millions, and the bumble peasant who tolls for his dally bread by the philosopher who counts the myriad stars, ana finds new worlds ushering themselves into existence and joining in the grand anthem of praise to the great originator and by the untutored canal driver, who hardly knows such things exist (somewhat quoted). In every sphere and station of life may be found your peanut eater—and the peanut that ia not proud of such a record deserves to be deprived of Its nsme.

The peanut shells sre chiefly used for filling spittoons and by-places, and uttering floors snd

carpets,

and Is gener­

ally considered peculiarly up in the business. The process of eating the pindar extremely simple, snd is sccompllshed without the aid of nut-pick or nut-cracker. We are unable to ascertain the name and address ot the •arty who flies the whip pennant as champion peanut-eater st the present time, though rumor ssys thst it is lsdy.

Peanuts, molasses snd oockrosches, boiled together until they ars reduced to about the consistency of shoemaker's wax, produces very plesasat and palatable compound, which Is known to ths trade ss peanut candy, snd retails for about forty cants per pound/ It is consumed in bugs qusntltles in almost every city, aad is probsbly one of the most popular confections manufactured. It hi sometimes cbesply manufeotured, omitting the oockrosches, but the pungent flavor is thereby lost, snd ths article Is refused by epicures. 80ms estimate may bs formed of the immense profits mads by the retailer

of pindais from what the proprietor of peanut oven on the Sqnara told us a few dsys sines. Ws paused to invest in soup of the delicious fruit, and inquired of ths vender how long it would take one to beoome rich at his business. His reply wss, "some time." Considering the mesgre investment required to prosecute the trade, we presume this information will induoe many to embark in it. The peanut imparts a peculiar flavor to the bresth, wnich, although it might improve the natural odor in many oases, la not uniformly considered agreeable.

Largs aaantities of peanuts are

Kid

wn In North Carolina. We have it stated that the Lowery boys are raising peanuts and cain, more especially tne latter. 8mall boys sre sometimes cslled peanuts, for short, we believe. We have heard the term "Old Peanutf," inappropriately applied to very young people. The salute, "How are you, old peanuts?" has been popular in some looslities for many generations, and we belive there is a trifling drama in existence, entitled "Peanut Sal or, Hie Triala of a Deck Sweep."

These facts ars only mentioned to show In how many ways ths feme and popularity of the peanut Is perpetuated. Some nnrassonsble prtyudloe has induced prominent hiatorians to remain silent on the peanut question, but the humble little pindar will outlive such prejudices, ana be honored sftet such narrow-mindedscribblersare forgotten. Mark our words for it. reader, thousand years from now, though possibly you msy not live to see it, the untarnished fame of the peanut will survive (brilliant, by Jove). Great lords and ragged urchins will ohsrish its grsteiul kernels, and its pestiferous shell will be scattered broadcast as they are today-

It is for their special good and behalf that he lives and works and they kindly allow him to retain a peroeatage of his gains to sdminlster to his own pleasures or wsnts.
