When furs have been laid away for some
months they acquire an old squeezed ap-
pearance which may be remedied in great
measure as follows: Warm some new bran
or fine sawdust in pan, but do not let it
burn; then rub it thoroughly into the fur
with the hand. Repeat this two or three
times; then shake and brush the fur until
free from dust.

LAW AND ORDER REFORMS IN MARYLAND.
The Legislature of Maryland, at last dates,
was in session at Annapolis, and is about
entering seriously upon some much needed
reforms in the mode of conducting elections.
A registry law is proposed, and a metropoli-
tan police bill has been prepared. The ap-
pointing power will be in the hands of Com
miss oners, subordinated to State authority.
An attempt will be made to divide Baltimore
into election precincts, with about 1900 so-
ters each. The voting is now done in Wards
some of which contain something like 1000
VOTERS number so great that it is impos
sibe to preserve order at the polls in case o:
challenging. For the information of the
Legislature. book of 400 pages has been
got out, containing the testimony of the
frauds committed and scenes Of violence en-
acted at the late State election; and petition
signed by ten thousand persons has been pre-
spnted for the impeachment Of Judge Stump
of the Criminal Court, Baltimore. The an.
tics played by this judicial tunctionary upon
the bench, have heretofore been commented
upon in the Courier, but, as he is an old
man, and has only two years to serve, 1t is
supposed that the impeachment will not be
vigorously pressed in the House of Assembly

Dress.

Neglect of the outward appearance indi-
Gates either little mind, or disregard to
tie opinion Of our neighbors. One should
always be neat and clean in person and dress,
because this is an evidence of responsibility
No lady who has any regard for herself, or
any respect for the society in which she
moves, will be slovenl in her appearance or
careless in her attire. 1t is true, there is
danger in being too particular, but every
lady is entitled to follow her own taste as to
dress, provided she dresses sutab y--that is
according to her own age and circumstances.
The young Of either sex, Tut particularly the
females, ought to regard their external de-
pertinent and appearance as, to certain
extent, essential to good character. 10 dress
simply and without ostentation is mark of
modesty; but in endeavoring to avoid every
thing like display, young ladies, especially,
should be careful not to fall into the other
extremes--that of prudery. There is more
sincerity, if there be less nicely. in the con-
duct of a virtuous lady than there is in that
of a prude; and some degree of freedom, so
far fiom being incompatible with the strctest
virtue, is one of its principal privileges If
lady is obliged to receive company en- dish
aJille, it is a sign Of good breeding if she
appear perfectly at ease and makes little or
no apology for her appearance.

THE FAT WOMAN is attracting almost as
much notice in the mines as the elephants,

in answer to repeated calls of the editorial

Tiers would encourage the emigration hther

MACHINE FOR SAVING FINE GoLD,-Mr
w. f. Truel, of Marysville, has invented Il
machine for saving fine gold, which is thus
described by the Erpress:
1t consists of frame, say four feet long,
On the top of this frame is placed rifle,
slanting sufficiently for the gravel to pass off,
and on this rifle rests the sluice box, which
may be adj djusted according to the water used.
The surface of the rifle is straight with aper.
lures extending entirely across, three eights
of an inch apart The water, small gravel,
gold &c, pass through this open rifle. and
then reverses its direction, passing over II
pan or reservoir, and thence over an over
shot wheel to the ground. The pan is about
four inches deep. Over this pan is suspend
ed rake, having several rows of teeth, so
arranged as to keep the entire deposit in the
pan continually stirred up. The water
passing over the wheel sets it in motion, and
the wheel being connected with the rake,
causes i: to move back and forth over the
pan. The principle is exceedingly simple.
The water, dirt and gravel pass through the
rifle, whilst the larger gravel passes over the
tail to the ground. After passing through
the rifle the water changes its direction and
passes into the pan, with the sand and gold.
The teeth of the rake form an eddy whereby
the gold will have an opportunity to sink to
bottom, while, by the action of the teeth, the
dirt is kept stirred up sufficiently TO pass off
with the water. The great feature of the
machine is that it may be run with very
little water Mr.. Truell has obtained ca.
veat for his invention, and is about applying
for patent.

IMMoRTALIrY.-In the beautiful drama Of
Ion, the instinct Of immortality, so eloquent
ly uttered by the death-devoted Greek, finds
deep response in every thoughtful SOUL
When about to yield his young existence as
a sacrifice to fate, his beloved Clemanthe asks
if they shall not meet again, to which he re-
plies: Il have asked that dreadful question Of
the hills that look eternal-of the clear
streams that flow forever-ofthe stars among
whose fields of azure my raised spirit hath
walked in glory. All were dumb. But
while gaze upon thy living face, l feel that
there is something in the love that mantles
through its beauty, that cannot wholly per-
ish. We shall meet again, Clemanthe"
