GLossING LINEN.-Inquiry is frequent
ly made respecting the mode of putting 4
gloss on linen collars and shirt bosoms like
that on new linen. The gloss, or enamel,
as it is sometimes called, is produced main
Iy by friction with warm iroa, and may
be put on linen by almost any person.
The linen to be glazed receives as much
strong starch as it is possible to charge it
with, then it is dried. 70 each pound Of
starch pie,e of sperm, parafine, or white
wax, about the size of walnut, is usually
added. When ready to be ironed, the
linen is laid upon the table, and moistened
slightly on the surface with a clean wet
cloth. 1t is then ironed in tle usual way
with a dat-iron, and is ready for the gloss
ing operation. For this purpose a peculiar
heavy fat-iron, rounded at the bottom,
and polished as bright as mirror, and
rubbed with much force, and this FRACTIONAL
action puts on the gloss. "Elbow grease
is the principal secret connected with the
art Of CLOSING lnen.- Scientific liner

Words Of Warning.

Ex-GoyenonNeiI S. Brown, Of Tennes
/ see. spoke at a onion mass meeting, IN
Columbia, ID that State, on the Cd inst,
and warned the rebels that their last hope
Of success is destroyed. He said:
Eyes, see the workings Of this war;
Yen will lose your young men, The Hover
Of your population--you will lose your
cotton, your commerce, your tobacco
The air is thick with their smoke, and the
waters of the Mississippi are sweetened
with your sugar. This ruin will tell on
your credit and your banks when you are
dead. 1t VIII tell on your friends aud
kindred. | congratulate myself that |
never urged man to go to war. But |
reproyed no one for doing SO, feel more
like weeping than uttering reproaches, but
] feel it to be my duty to stop the wrongs
Of this war, if | can, for the future.
"The President and Congress have both
said emphaiically, that they had no wish
to interfere with slavery, or disturb the
rights Of property. But at the same lime
the President had intimated that lie re-
served to himself to Judge what might be
military necessity in the future, if the
South persisted in waging this war with
stubborn opposition.
"And my word for it, rather than allow
the negroes to continue giving aid to the
Southern army, he viii emancipate every
slave in the South. 1t will become what
is called military necessity, and the ques-
ton W i'll be, whether the Union or slavery
shall perish. He viii he certain to say
the latter. Suppose, however, he never
does do this-I don't say that he will
but suppose this war be fought on to the
bitter end, WHIST will become Of our slaves
Of what value will they be? They are
running away every day. When the war
gets to the cotton States, where are large
district densely peopled with blacks al ost
exclusively, then slavery will be ruined
The slaves will run loose over the land,
and then who loves bis family would live
among savage population roaming about
in search Of food and plumber? The
white population will be expelled, or raih-
er selfexiled. The question is fraught
with trouble. Whether the Government
wills it or not, emancipation will become a
necessary result Of the war, from thc
trouble and friction it occasions.

Another "Ram.TurIv- -

The Ship Island correspondent of the Bos
ton Journal, speaking of the activity of the
rebels at New Orleans, in trying to build a
"musketo navy" says:
Intelligence has reached here of the an
pearance on the Mississippi River of a new
rebel 'ram," ''turtle," or nondescrint war
steamer from New Orleans. About noon, on
the lst of January a steamer came down TO
Pass pOutre, and lay alongside the river
bank. During the afternoon men went on
shore from her and burned the lightkeeper's
house at that point. Late in the day four or
five other Confederate steamers came down
to the mouth OF the Pa5s, and then went over
to Pilot Town. The bark hinqfshey. block.
aiding Pass pOutre, was at anchor about
four miles from the land, in five fathoms
water, and apprehensiOns of an attack during
the night induced Captain Selfridpe, of the
Mississippi, also blocksding at that point, to
run in and tow her outside. The enemy did
not, however, venture within range Never
theless, Lne RtngtfSher came up to Ship Island
to report the facts to the flag officer, and OBJ.
tain assistance in repeling an attack.
The description of the ram" given by the
officers Of the Kingfsher, agrees with the ac-
count of that obtained from the French Can
tain of the fishing. Slide Along, cap
tured by the NeaO London few weeks since.
The steamer is represented as being two
hundred feet long, cigar shaped, sharp at
both ends, rooted over in the shape of
turtles back, with plate iron, having side
wheels, with two smoke-stacks abreast, and
moving through the water with great rapid
ity. She was built at Algiers, opposite New
Orleans. Few men were seen on board of
her. The French fishermen gave informa-
tion of the building of two rebel gun.boats,
also side-wheel and sharp at both ends, at
Bayou st. John, on Lake Pontchartrain,
one of which had been launched. Two 9TH
ers were building on Deer River, where
steamers can be launched drawing one more
foot water than can be carried into Lake
POnchartrain, the depth being nine and
eight feet respectively. From the above it
suming the proportions of a considerable
swarm.

The recent brilliant successes of Colonel
Garfield in Eastern Kentucky are the SUBJ
ject of much comment in the papers, and &C.
counts of his early life are abundant. A
correspondent Of the Boston Gazstte furnishes
the following sketch:
Colonel Garfield was born of respectabIe
parents, in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, in 1881,
making him at the present time thirty. one
years Of age. In his early years OF boyhood
be formed 30 strong love for horses, and
independent control Of his own actions, that
he ran away from home and became driver
on the canal. Possessing remarkable strength
and physical endurance, with no small
amount Of combative spirit he soon became
famous as shoulder hitter" whining all
opponents who we're any where near his own
age, and becoming a terror to the quarrel
some rowdies who had previously 'rued the
ditch"
During the hight of this wild career he at
tended revival meeting, became converted,
found new and wealthy friends, who sun.
piled him with funds to attend college. and
in 1856 he graduated at Williams College,
Mass, with the highest honors.
Returning to Ohio, he at once became set
tied as clergyman and president of the coll
lege at Hiram, Portage County. He here
became so popular as an eloquent divine, as
lecturer De1Ore lyceums, and as q profound
scholar, that the success of his school was
without precedent in hesitate.
Two years ago he was elected by an over
whelming majority as a member Of the State
Senate, where he at once rose to the highest
degree of popularity by his brilliant orstory
and sound craftsmanship. Just before the
commencement of the present war he with
drew from the college at Hiram and COM
menced the practice of law, but at the first
call for troops he at once entered the field
and rallied around him some of the aolest
boys to be found in the Buckeye State.
Colonel Garfield stands five feet nine and
a halt inches in his stockings weighs one
hundred and ninety pounds has a pair of
large blue eyes, yelowish white Greeley
hair, large expressive mouth, the outlines
| Of which denote both good nature and un-
swerving determination, and is withal what
the ladies have always called a Handsome
man."
1t was prophes.ed at once after his enlist
ment that, 'let Rev. Mr. Garfield have a
chance at the rebels, and be would die in the
| field or win victory" He has had hi,
"cbance," ard the victory has been won.

Treasury Matters.

WASHINGTON, February 3. - Representa-.
tiVes OF telegraphic interests now here have
suggested to the Committee of Ways and
Means their readiness to pay a tax on their
messages and thus con tribute to the support
of the Government.
The Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee, Mr.. Stevens, of Pennsylvania,
will eDdeavOr to bring the House to a vote
on the Treasury Bill on Thursday.
Representative Hooper's (of Massschusetts)
speech to day was listened to with marked
attention, it being considered a clear exposi-
tion of the views of the Treasury Department
on the financial question.
The Secretary OF the Treasury, in a letter
to the Committee, says the general provisions
of the bill seem well adapted to the cad pro
posed, that the provision making notes a
legal tender was doubtless well considered
by the Committee, and their reflections had
conducted him to the same conclusion. He
felt great fears as to making any thing but
gold and silver legal tender, but owing to
the large expenditures and the bank suspen-
sion, the provision is indispensable. The
Secretary has suggested amendments pro-
viding against counterfeiting, and directing
the manner in which notes are to be exc
cuted. The Secretary addressed note to
Mr.. Spsuldiug to day, in which he says:
Gimme ediate action is of great Importance.
The Treasury is nearly empty. have been
obliged to draw for the last instalment of
the November loan. As soon as it is paid, |
fear the banks generally will refuse to receive
United States Treasury note. You will see
the necessity OF urging the bill through with.
