For several years past, ssys . writer We
have adopted the following plan o. treating

success. that We have copeuded 70 recon-
mend il for working and carriage harness
The whole thing may be comprised 10 .
few words. with hot water, soap, brushes
and scrapers. make your harness periec,'y
clean. Next saturate well WITH OIL lastly
. water proof elastic polish and backing
The polish is made as follows: take a pint
Of fish or meats foot oil and four ounces Of
clean beef talIow, one ounce OF rosln, anu an
ounce of lampblaex Melt, and, when melted
add about two tablespoonful Of turPentine,
and with flannel cloths commence rubbing the
harness on both sides, draw the strapsthrough
and through the flannel The polish must
always be applied as warm as the bands can
bear il. Let your harness bang out one
night. Take warm water and soap and wash
ali the black oif, which will come of with
sponge and cloths Hang up, and nan hour
or so, you can buckle together again. and it
is fit for use. You viii now have soft harness,
with dull shiny jet Black surface, which will
keep SO for a whole year, ifyou have put oil
enough on them to render them as soft as
w,olen cloth. They will retain this dull chi
ny black all summer, aud pud will not stay

PRESIDENT PIERCE AND CEN. SCOTT.

1t is said, in the Crystal Palace, last Thurs
day, when President Pierce met Gen. Scott,
he shook him warmly by the hand, and said
"Ah, General, never expected to meet you
on the same platform loco Paper.
Alb, indeed We wonder on what platform
the President was standing on the 14th inst.
at Castle Garden, when he said to the citi-
zens of New York
"Who will set limits to your just ambition
when the Atlantic is bridged with steamers
to the shores of Europe and united to the
Pacific by the great thoroughfare that will
eventually bind these States together as with
hooks of STEEL"
This hint at the Pacific railway looks very
much like the Internal Improvement plank
of the platform upon which General Scott
was nominated. The Presidents pun seems
to have as much reality as wit in it.

CURE FOR B0NEFELoN.

A correspondent of the Baltimore Clipper,
writing from Washington, says:
"a friend informs us that while suffering
with bone felon twenty years ago, DR..
Francis lie Baron. lats Apothecary General
of the United States. advised him to gil q
tbimble with soft soap aad quicklime mixed,
and bind it tightly over the felon This be
did, and in the course of IL hours it was
drawn to head, when the core was removed
and, by appliances Of the usual poultice. the
sore soon healed Our informant remarks
that this is severe expedient, but one that
is to be preferred to the customary treatment
We have heard others who have ayailed them
selves of the remedy prescribed by our friend
say that it is effectp,l and expeditions As
a good many persons are now afflicted with
bone felons we have been requested to make
this publication. May it prove = real bles-
sing to the suffering"

FOLLOWING THE MULTITUDE.

Weak minds always conceive it most safe
to adopt the sentiments Of the multitude
They never venture to express an opinion
upon any subject until the majority have de-
cided; and blindly follow the sentiments of
the many, whether upon men or things, with
out troubling themselves to inquire who are
right or on which side truth preponderates.
A love of equity and truth, indeed, is seldom
found, except in those who have the moral
independence to form their own opinions, and
s,eadfastly to adhere ,",asem. regardless Of
what others may say oi.do We have right
to mistrust that man. who is constantly de-
c!aring. Il dare not think otherwise" His
language proves that instead of thinking for
himself or in fact. thinking at ell he tamely
submits to be guided by the arbitrary die.

APOLOGiZING.

The Columbus Times, strong Democrat
10 paper, in an attempt to apologize for the
Freesoil appointments of President Pierce,
says: "In the distribution of local Offices at
the north, it is frequently impossible to avoid
giving them to Freesoilers. The only re-
course left to the President in appointments
for such places is to give Offices to Freesoil-
ers or leave them vacant" That is to say
there is not enough of Democrats at the north,
who are not Freesoilers, to fill the offices. -
Well, that goes little ahead of any charge
of abolition affinities we have heard made
against the great Democracy for some time,
and to come from Democratic organ at that
The 'Times' goes on to say "No Admins
tration, therefore, can exist in this country
for day which refuses to give some Office to
the Freesoilers. Precious confession But
