does not argue the constitutionality

the right of "a judge Of election to re-
ject mans vote, when the word

Justices Strong and Thompson deci-
ded that the Judge of elections could

asgr"Gail Hamilton" says many
good and sensible things. Here is
an extract which VIC commend to the
Paritanical and straight,laced who
are shocked at card playing and dan
cling:
ct is not whist nor dancing that
harms youngpeople. 1t is outlawry.
Whist does not lead to gambling,
dancing does not lead to dissipation.
1t is playing cards 'on the sly that
leads to gambling. 1t is having to
get out of the way Of minister, and
church members, all religious people,
when dancing is to be done, that
leads to dissipation. 1t is loneliness,
want of interest and amusement, and
uni nst and unnatural restriction, that
leads to all manner of wild and bois-
terousand vicious aruscments. which
prey upon the soul"

I%NDEILIBLE INK.-A very good
ink, capable of resisting chlorine,
oNalic acid, and ablution with a hair
pencil or sponge, may be made by
mixing some Of the ink made by the
preceding prescription, with a little
genuine China ink. 1t WRITES well.
Many other fopmul@ have been given
for indellible inks, but they are all
inferior in simplicity and usefulness
TO the one now prescribed. Solution
OF nitrate Of silver thickehtd with
gum, and written with qpoa linen or
cotton cloth, previously imbucd with
a solution Of soda, and dried, is the
ordinary permanent ink of shops.
Before the cloths are washed, the
writing should be exposed to the
sunbeam, or to bright daylight,
which blackcns and fixes Chg oxide
of silver. 1t is easily discharged by
chlorine and ammonia.
A good permanent ink. may be
made by miNinya strong ISOLATION of
chloride of platinum with q little pot
ash sugar, and gum to thicken. The
writing made thorewith should be
pressed over with a hot smoothing
iron, to liX it.-Ure.
Nitrate Of silver l to 2@rs water
