THE TRIBUNE ON THE NEws.--The Tribune
astonishcd It's readers yesterday by claiming to
be a newspaper, and by asserting that 1t had
beaten the HERALD twice in the last twenty
years. When we remember the confession Of
the Tribune editor that "the HERALD is con-
stantly ahead.r and when we rccollect that, only
last week, Sam wilkeson. the 7rib,oe's chief
correspondent, pettioned Congress to aid him
to keep up with the HERALD reporters, we may
well laugh NJ the Tribsme's nonsense We do
feel very badly, however, at the Tiibune's saying
that our splendid diagram q Fort Fisher, Cape
Clear and the entrance to Wilmington was ian
old and huge map Of locality familiar to every
body" We are rather proud Of our maps; we
get them up more quickly, clearly and correctly
than anybody else; we are grati6ed to see them
80 often copied into other papers, on both sides
Of the Atlantic; and therefore II hurts us when
the Tribune calls them "old,p "huger and

THE Loss OF FoKr FEHER-"A BLESSING IN
DHGUrsE."-The Richmond Dispatch says that
while some melancholy persons in the rebel
capital regard the loss Of Fort Fisher as "a dis
astcr," there is very large party Of very
sensible fellows who consider II as 20 blessing
in Disguise" and so they are disposed to be
Jolly. Those Richmond rebels are genuine
laughing philosophers. They spend millions Of
money, they devote years Of labor, they sacri.
fee thousands Of their negroes and tens Of
thousands Of their soldiers lover fifty thousand

portant city or military position, and when II Is
lost those Richmond philosophers, like little
Toots, pronounce II q matter Of "no conse-
quence;' OF, like the pious abolitionists before
the war, who broke forth into psalm when
tarrcd and feathercd and carried on Southern
rail, they sing song Of joy, for their punish
ment ia but ga blessing in disguise"
At this rate the downfall Of Richmond will
be the signal for a glorious universal Southern

Crande. And why mott Are not oil these

Hints on Washing the Hands.

Some philosophy" is useful in even so
simple matter as washing the hands if any
one doubts it, let her, with a microscope.
examine the surface TO be cleaned by water,
and she will be interested, and perhaps shocked,
at The discoveries made. Instead of q smooth
surface OF skin, presenting, when ulwashed, q
dingy appearance, there will be seen a rough,
covering surface with deep, irregular burrows.
in which the foreign particles are deposited
like earth among the rough paving stones Of 3
street. If they lay loosely, it would be an
easy matter to dislodge them with little cold
water; but the pores, the waste pipes Of the
body, are continually dischargng into these
open drains perspiration and oil, which, by
evaporation, become cement to hold the par
ticles of dust etc, and to remove them requires
both chemical and mechanical action. Warm
water softeDs this cement. expands the burrows,
and makes the skin pliable so that, by rub.
bing, the soil is disturbed and partially removed.
But chemistry must aid little before the pro-
cess is complete; and soap is added, the slkali
of which unites with the oily matters, and the
whole is then easily disposed of. The wash
cloth is useful because its threads or hbers
work down among the furrows, like so many
little brooms, sweeping them out; hence it
should be soft and pliable.
Flannel Is preferable to cotton for this pur
pose, and a sponge is best of all. Rough.
coarse cloths are Objectionable, as they abrade
the skin and leave it rough, and more easily
filed with dust than before. Harsh, strongly
alkaline soap should be avoided for the same
reason it abstracts all the oil from the upper
layer of the skin, and makes it "chap or crack"
Where sponge is not obtsinable, very neat
and serviceable wash cloth may be knit OF soft
cotton twiue; either with crotchet, or with
coarse wooden needles knitting back and forth
as garters are knit. A mitten knit of this
with the crotchet needle is very handy for this
purpose, and makes q neat article for the wash
stand. wash rag will not be tolerated by a
tidy housekeeper. II cloths are used, let them
be neatly hemmed and scrupulousy clean.
Applying q little vinegar and water TO the
hands and face, after the use of soap, and rims
ing off the vinegar with clean water, is capital
process to prevent chapping or roughness. The
acid Deutralizes the alkili of soaf, and keeps it
from destroying the skin. Try this frequently.
especially on washing days. Diluted vinegar
or other acid is excellent for the face after
shaving. -Germantotrn Telegraph.

Life.
CLoUD DY.

The following beautiful disquisition upon
life, says the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin,
occurs in a sermon delivered by Rev Z. E.
Adams, in the North Broad street Presbyterian
Church:
There is life 10 the lichen that clings to the
shaded rock, and drinks the cold drops of the
mountain there is life in the firehy that lights
up the marsh with bis evening ray; there is
life in the lark that halls the orient sun with
psalm more sweet, and not less glorious. than
the notes of Haydn and Beethoven; there is
life 10 the lion who shakes the wilderness with
his terrible roar, sending horror through every
wild pulsing heart there is life 10 the eagle as
be sits in solitary grandeur on his alpine hight
or sails on steady piDion above the clouds that
crown the Andes; there is still higher life in
the speeches. child just opening its eyes TO the
light and with pure lips in its first smile there
is life in boyhood, glorious in its fresh ambition,
in its untamed aspirings; there is life in girl
hood, the charm of beauty and innocence play
ing on the cheek as if the smile of God were
there; there is life 10 manhood, and in the
hercuean arm, in the brow that rivals Joves,
and the eye that shoots out the fire OF Mars
Measure, if you can, the mental life Of Plato !!
the depth and compass of Webster Fathom
the intellectual and moral depths of Moses aud
Paul. Take the life of humanity; let it be
represented by all its best qualities in a single
human being. Give him the frame Of Sampson
the intellect OF Lord Bacon, the soul of Payson
or ST J ohm, the beauty and grace of Alcibia-
des, the so1g of Handal or Mozart, the oratory
OF Cicero or Perices or Clay, the devotion of
Daniel or Paul, the executive genius Of Alex
ander, the science Of Humboldt, the statesman
ship OF Washington, and the social nature of
Burke, the muse Of Shakespeare, the chivalry
of Gustavus Adolphus, and the piety of Daniel
or OF Joseph-and let him stand forth among
bis species to defend, to enlighten, to win.
LET him shed his great light over the earth.
Let him reform Governments, revolutionize
customs, awaken thought, Inspire devotion,
Danish abuses, elevate life and fll the age with
new, inspiring, grateful holy sentiments, feel
ings and resolves. Let him impart something
of bis great nature to humber mortas let him
speak in majesty and tenderness to US, and be
before us the way, the truth and the life-the
highest standard of manhood, the living depos-
itory of all human greatness aud goodness-all
that is mighty in the arm Of man, all that is
profound in bis intellect, all that is precious in
friendship, all that is sublime and blissful in
boliness-and will tell you that the life Of
Christ is infinitely more. Angels cannot reach
it, seraphs cannot know it it is the life OF God
dwelling in the soul it is holiness that no spot
darkens-love that fills every capacity and
expels every fear. 1t is eternal life in fulness,
duration. If there is anything rapturous in
song, anything exalted in character, great in
thought and achievement, it is in this life
