TIE New YORK Evening Post, . lead
ing organ of the Radical party in that
State, sees the handwriting on the wall,
and thus sounds the note of alarm:
It cannot be denied that there has been
a coed deal Of inconsiderste and even
dangerous legislation in Congress daring
the past two years. There has been a
great deal more ineonsiderate and dan
gerous talk. There are still threats made
by men who ought TO know better,
which are nothing less than revolutionary
and Of these things the people are weary.
They tell their representatives in Con-
gress that instead Of listening to their
enthusiasts, 10 their extreme men, 10
their Summers, their Stevens, and their
Buffers, it would be better to listen to the
dictates Of good sense, to the strict require
ment Of constitutional law, and to men OF
moderation and craftsmanship. As for
reconstruction, it is not in so hopeful a
condition now as itiwRs a year aSp. When
the constitutional northumberland

gress has since done has been needless,

We find in one of our exchanges the
following remarks relative to the use of
castor oil "a the trades, more particularly
its application to leather than any other
oil known. When boots and shoes are
creased with II, the oil will not at all inter-
fere with the polishing afterward, asin
the case with lard, olive, or any other
oil. In Harrisburg, Pa, the old leather
hose Of some of the fire companies was
creased with it, and found TO become
almost sssOftsnd flexible ssnew leather.
Leather belts for transmitting motions In
machinery will usually last three to i've
years, according to the wear and tear
they are exposed 10 when creased with
castor oil they last ten years or more, as
they always remain flexible and do not
crack, besides this advantage, the castor
oil will prevent slipping, so that a belt
three inches wide, impregnated with it,
will be equal to q belt four and a half in
ches without castor oil. It'll necessary
however, to wait t~wenty-four hours, till
the oil has disappeared from the surface
ard penetrated the leather, otherwise the
freshly creased surface will cause slip
ping. The rats and other vermin detest
anything impregnsted with castor oil,
and will not touch it.
