cerate,! the mjmslayor-for life thus effectually
protecting society from his infuriated and bru
tal passions the direct offspring of intemper
ance of habit. A most extraordinary fact was
developed during the trial to wit : that a cou
sin of the prisoner was one of the twelve jury
men. It w generally believed that this fact was
know to the District Attorney, even as it cer
tainly t tlt3 prisoner's counsel I Ttuly al
th.se honourable men have put themselves into
an unenviable position before the world by this
almost unprecedented c onnivance at a fearful

We welcome thefdlowing from our fair cor
respondent "C" who twice , before has graced
our columns on The Use of Flowers and Flow er
Gardens. The present article will meet with
general applause, and is clearly illustrative of the
fact that the culinary art is not beneath the ef
forts of the best miiids, while the important re

of the first importance.

this week, to sit: deliberating witlrmvself what j f;r, fA- ,, : ,. J ' , - . J "0"KS w,t" c,,u,1"7 p"-p e and country Ue tor
topic to select for the opening of .my letter, for
there is but one theme that engages the jmbli
mind, and that is the awful fate of the Arctic:ii,
h-?r passengers.- Little did I imagine, when I ;
: wrote last week, that the public, interest in the
delay of the steamer had not yet reached the
point of solicitude, that such fearful tid ngs would j
so soon reryb-r solicitude utterly vain. Never,
- certainly, came dreadful news more unexpected
ly, than that of the loss of the Arctic, The great
strength of. the steamer seemed to all a warrant
. that she would withstand all ordinary dangers
k of the sea. You will undoubtedly have details
- of heV sffd fate ift'otht-f columnof vour rlext f
issue, and I will not therefore present them in
nly letter. ; We have scarcely realized yet the
; terrible exteut of the disaster. It seems incredi
ble that such a giant ship, with such a popula
tion.of human lives, should have sunk beneath
the remorseless waves of the sea within the brief
space of otie hour ! The successive items of in
telligence which have reached us have come as
slight palliatives of the first heart-rending shock ;
but there is probably but little chance for any
serious alleviation of the great and cru-hing ca
lamity. It is true that seventy-seven lives are
known to have been saved from a destnetion
which at first, seemed to be total ; but itiii im
. possible not to feel and express regret that man y
;.of these lives were the least valuable of those
" which were exposed to the peril. Had these
.been lost and the others all saved, Uion would a
generous sympathy have bewailed the fate of the
victims, falling martyrs, rierhaps, to their dutv
- in protecting the lives of the passengers,' and
particularly of the hapless women and children
on board the steamer. But as it is, we read a
sad story of insubordination and selfi-hru-s in
the crew to which hundreds perhaps of noble-
-hearted and cultivated -men and women were
sacrificed..: "I would not s.em to forget that
eveAy man's life is dear to'.him in a moment of
peril ; but I must also recollect that every truly
noble-souled man would risk his own lifr to save
helpless woman from death ; and I cannot, for
my life, think, without indignation, of a boat
full of creatures in human shape retreating from
the luckless steamer while crowds of trembling
: females were stand iiig In -peless upon her sinking-
decks. It seems to me that those who es-;uv d
in such ' crrcumstaiK-es must he forever haunted

less be a rush for it in all quarters for apart
from the prestige af the book it possesses in
trinsic inteiest of an unusual kind. I am credi
bly informed, and have no hesitation in pro
nouncing it to be a fact, that fifty-seven publish
ers applied to Harnum for the profitable job of
ushering his memoirs into the literary world !
How many a poor author has had a very differ
ent .experience though I think it doubtful if
any one ever had his book refused by fifty-seven
of the Oub-street fraternity. Certainly no one's
patience would have survived the fiftieth dread
ful negative !
Messrs. Sheldon, Lamport and Blakeman, (a
newly organized and enterprising house in this
city) have recently published Ida Norman
or Trials and their uses " a novel by Mrs. Lin
coln Phelps, a lady long known to the Ameri
can public, as a most accompl'shed and eminent
ly successful teacher of youth. She has show n
herself to be as much a mistress of the art of j
instruction by fiction as she has been heretofore !
we known and observed in youth the laws of
health ! Experience stands empowered to as
sure me that w e are not a sickly clas ; but
there are unhealthy conditions, which, however
hidden from our own discern metiir&re iSone the
hss real in their effects. We know that our
fathers feed their farm stock with special food
for special purposes; that cooked food is more
nutritive than raw': and the same law holds
good with the human systom. Not a. single ar
ticle of food do we eat, but exerts our physical.
powers in greater or less degree in its appropri
ation. Each has iis separate components, and

Thus one kind of fool results in an increase of
energy, another, of fit; others produce nervous
ness, debility, and the like.
It is not bur purpose to enlarge on this topie
strictly, but to suggest the importance of our
selection of food, and of its preparation. To
the latter more especially, we would call partic
ular attention. During this era, w hen the im
p rtance of every duty is publicly considered, and
the extent and usefulness of woman's sphere on
every body's tongue, let us, for I too am a far
mer's daughter, consider, at least, one branch of
our duties, the too much neglected portion of
housekeeping if for no other purpose than to
urge upon you, young lady readers of the
Working Fanner, the importance of learning
sufficient of .Chemistry and Physiology, to know
the cud of cooking, its best means and adapta

heated to boiling, the flesh undergoes a loss of
soluble and .savory matters, while the soup be
comes richer jo-these. The albumen is gradual
ly dissolved: from the surface to the centre; the
fibre loses, more or less its quality of shortness
or tenderness, and becomes hard and tough.
The thinner the piece of flesh is, the gieater is
its loss of savory constituents.
"This explains the well-known observation,
that that mode 'of boiling which yields the best
soup, gives tHe driest, toughest, and most vaj.id
meat; and that, in rder to attain well-flavored
and eatable meat,, we must relinquish the idea
of in akin ; jjood soup from it.
" If finely-chopped flesh be slowly heated to
b oiling with an equal weight of water, kept boil
ing for a few minute-, and then strained and
pressed, we obtain the very strongest and best
flavored soup which can be made from flesh
When the boiling is longer continued, some
little additional organic- matter is dissolved, but
the flavor and other properties of the soup are,
thereby in no degree' increased or improved.
Ty the action of heat on the fibres, a certain
amount of water or juice is always expelled from
them ; whence it happens that the flesh loses
weight bv boiling, even when" immersed in wa

raw flesfi.JI ? In larger masses this loss is not soj

a Ev!jnin roasting meat, the heat must be
strongest at first, and it may then be much re
dueed.j The. juice which, as 'in boiling, flows
out, evaporates, in careful roasting on the sur
face of the meat, and gives to it the dark brown
color, the lustre, and the strong aromatic taste
of roast raofit."
Another fact may not be unacceptable at this
time, that is, that leguminous vegetables will not
cook well with salt ; thus beans aud peas should
never boil with salt meats to be well cooked,
but have the liquor added, in making soups,
after they are done, and if cooked plain, the
salt added then. So general rules might be
mentioned to an unlimited extent, drawn from
the source of Chemistry alone ; but I have hope
that these will at least suffice to showr the truth
of my 'remarks. "We country girls should be
unwilling that our tables should be set with '
coarser and worse cooked food, as they prover
bially are, than those in town, when we .have
the advantage of abundant and fresh vegetables
and fruit, and the pure fresh country air to give

Such, indeed, is life; and so rapidly do its suc

It is a coincidence curious enough to entitle
it to notice that a steamboat bearing the name
of E. Jtr Collins was destroyed by fire, and thiV-
ty lives jost, upon the western waters, just about
the time of the destructiou of th ? Arctic.

fervant prayers of many thousands, thaf she may
reach her port in safety, as she has hitherto man v

I deem it not out. of place here to introduce
an extract from Liebigs Letters on Chemiky,
trusting it may be acceptable :
" The fibre of "meat is, in its natural state,
steeped in 'and surrounded by a liquid contain
ing albumen ; and the tender quality of boiled
or roasted meat-depends on the amount of the
albumen depended in its substance, and (here

certam conclusions, not without importance for

count of the universal interest attaching to
them, are perhaps worthy of being pointedout.

POPEBY AND DEMOCRACY-
The Washington Globe, referring to one of
the resolutions of the mass meeting of the
"Know-Nothing," re. ently held in that city,
expresses itself as follows :
The meaning of the resolution N, sis every one
must ;-ee, that they the Catholics ' hold them
selves under allejrhmce to a foreign prinef " the
Pope. If they did this, we would ge f-r this reso
lution ourselves ; but they do not, and do nothing
more than acknowledge the Pope as their epiritaal
head thft hid of. tbaunivfrsnl Catholic Churrh
recognizing townrds him, in all teuipontl nnd po-f
litical umtters, no allegiance or pre-eminence what
ever, any more than to the Mufti of Constantino
pie, or to the Grand Lama of Thibet. In England
there r.re half a million of Roman Catholics; and
since the heavy, intolerant, and parsecuting hand
of the Government h.is been taken off them, the
crown has no better, law-observing, or more relia- i
ble subjects; and yet, with them the sentiment of
spiritual allegiance towards the Pope is, we believe,
stronger than it is in the United States.
The Globe, in common with a number of oth
er political papers, seems to have felt itself call
ed upon to vindicate the Catholics of this coun
try from a serious charge. The public mut
judge for themselves in regard to the propriety
of such a course, and the probable motives by
which such politicians are actuated. We con
fine ourselves to the merits of the proposition
maintained in the foregoing extract, without
pretending to justify the actual proceedings of
the meeting referred to, or to condemn the edi
tor of the Globe for the promulgation of his
opinions. lie has a right to entertain them, if
a fair and honest investigation of the subject has
led to their adoption.
But it is a very different question whether the
opinions thus announced are consistent with
truth ; and here we beg leave to make issue,
point blank, with the editor of the Globe. The
error of that paper consists in a forced analysis
of the authority of the Pope into spiritual and
temporal, to such an extent as to represent that
personage in two entirely distinct relations to

tions are viewed separately and apart, and it is
assumed that both the Pope and the papist con
tinue always and everywhere to recognize the
distinction and preserve the separation. All
this is quite an interesting piece of metaphvsi
cal ingenuity, and looks very creditable to the
analysing powers of a political theorist. It is ;

of the most difficult problems to preserve th.se j
co-ordinate powers of the Government from'
mutu:l iaasion. It often taxes the subtle-j
ty and learning of the supreme lVneh to d. tine j
the limits of the legislative and Executive pow- i
er, r-nd requires perpetual vigilance on the p irt
ofjthe people to restrain them within proper Jim- j
its ; and in view ot this experience of a republi
can, constitutional government in which the dif
ferent powers are entru-fed to different persons,
shall we. be told that the Pope, who concen
trates in his own person both political and spiri
tual authority, defined and separated by no
constitutional restrictions, maintains his difficult
position without confounding his duties ? Shall
we be told that his spiritual subjects throughout
the world, no matter how ignorant and debased,
are not liable to a confusion of ideas on this sub
ject ? The proposition is not merely extravagant
bit ridiculous. The great mass of the uneduca
ted Catholics in this country are absolutely in
Capable of recognizing the nice distinction so
boldly drawn by the Globe, between the Pope's
spiritual and temporal authority ; and what the
masses do through the ignorance, the ecclesias
tics do designedly. Is it a spiritual right of the
Catholic Church to control all the property ac
quired by particular congregations? Witness
the case of the Church of St.' Louis at Buffalo,
where sentence-of excommunication has been
hhrled at the heads of a body of trustees, for re
solutely defending their civil rights. It is pure
folly to maintain, in full view of such facts, that
the Catholics in this country " recognize towards
hm" (the Pope) "in all temporal and political
inatters, no allegiance or pre-eminence what-

It seems to be entirely overlooked by these
politicians, who say so much more for the
qatholics than they have ever authoritatively
said for themselves, that the spiritual and tem
poral powers of the Pope are not independent
of each other. His temporal authority is tho
roughly subordinate to the spiritual. It is
not as a temporal prince that we dread his
influence. It is because he wields the power of
spiritual despotism, which everywhere claims su
Ptftwcy over the political institutions of the
iforld. The enlightened Catholic in this coun
try may to some extent distinguish between his
allegiance to the Pope, ashead of the Church, and
his allegiance to the State under whose mvrn-
ihent he lives, but still he considers-as all good )
vamoucs must consider,-the authority of the
CJvurch paramount to that of the State in all
circumstances where they may appear to conflict.
Ipjre then is the true issue in our country. W'e
have nothing to do with the Pope, as a petty
desp t, grinding, as he does, the necks of the
P"or in beggared Italy; but we have much to do
I'lth his recognized claim to govern the oncien
T of his spiritual subjects in political and all
cither matters whatever.
