THE Sacramento Union does not like the
idea of Gov. Weller becoming Secretary of
War. The Union INDUCES in some dirty re-
marks in reference to him. The Placer Her

We know of nothing which would please
the trulya Union-loving people of this coast
more than the appointment of Gov. Weller
to the position alluded to by the telegraph,
short time ago. His experience in military
and civil life has eminently fitted him for the
position. Whether such an appointment is
made now or not, we thoroughly believe the
day is not distant when the merits of Gov.
Weller will meet with that appreciation they
deserve, and we shall see him holding again
high official position, in the country. -

The VIRTUES OF BoRAx.-As borax is
found in many parts in this State, and has
already become an important article of ex-

some Of its valuable properties known to our
readers; it is from the London Eruggists
circular" The excellent washerwomen of
Holland and Belgium, who get up their
linen so beautifully white, use refined borax
a. washing powder. instead Of soda, in the
proportion Of one large handful of powder TO
abont ten gallons Of boiling water. They
save iu soap nearly ons-haIf. All the large
washing establishments adopt the same mode
For laces, etc; an extra quantity of the
powder is nsed; for crinolines, requiring to
be made stiff; strong solution is ecessary.
Borax being neutral salt, does not in the
slightest degree injure the texture Of the
linen: Its effect is to soften the hardest
water, and therefore it is should be kept on
every toilet table. To the taste it is rather
sweet; it is used for cleaning the hair, is an
excellent densiflice, and in hot countries it
is used, in combination with tartarc acid
and bi carbonate of soda, as cooling
beverage. Good tea cannot be made with
hard water. All water may be made soft
by adding teaspoonful of borax powder to
an ordinary sized kettle of water; in which
it should boil. The saving in the quantity
