SNOW POWDER.
Patented May 20, 1866.

This is an article IOr washing without rub
bling, except in very dirty places, which will
require a very slight rub, and unlike other
preparations offered for like purpose, win not
rot the clothes, but will leave them much whittier
than ordinary methods, without the usual wear
and tear.
1t removes grease spots as if by magic, and
softens the dirt by soaking, so that rinsing will
in ordinary cases entirely remove it,
This powder is prepared in accordance with
chemical science, and upon process peculiar
to itself, which is secured by letters patent. II
has been in use for more than a year. and has
proved itself an universal favorite wherever it
has been used Among the advantages claimed
are the following, viz:
1t saves all the expense of soap usually used
on cotton and linen goods
1t saves most of the labor of rubbing, and
wear and tear.
Also, for cleaning windows it is UNSURPASSED.
With one quarter the time and labor usually
required it imparts beautiful gloss and lustre,
much superior TO any other mode. No water
required except to m0isten the powder.
Directions with each package.
And can be readily appreciated by single
trlai. The cost OF washing for family of five
or six persons will not exceed three cents.
The manufacturers of this powder are aware
That many useless compounds have been intro
duced to the public which have rotted the
cloth, or tail ed in removing the dirt, but know
ing the intrinsic excellence of this article. they
confidently proclaim 1t as being adapted to
meet a demand which has long existed, and

The Post also publishes a table, made
up from reports gathered by Mr., Delmar,
OF the bureau of statistics, showing the
current prices of labor In the various
branches of industry in South Falls,
Canada West, where the wages, of course,
are paid in gold, and Rochester, N. Y,
Baltimore and Richmond. The table is
quite incomplete, but from it we gather
the general facts that the Canadian SER
wants, artisans, and tradesmen are paid
only half as much, In gold, as a general
thing, as the same classes are paid in the
United States in currency, and in good
many cases not half as much while for
most classes of occupation wages are
highest at Baltimore, next higher at
Richmond, and lowest at Rochester,
though of course there are many excep-
lions to this scale.

LUDLOW WOODEN MrLLs.-We under

weeks only, to run the Ludlow mills on
two-thirds time, commencing at half

at quarter past four in the afternoon.
1t seems to be quite common Just
now for manufacturing establishments to
shorten their time, or discontinue work
altogether, partly or wholly, as we sup
pose. on account of the dizziness of the
times. How far this consideration may
have influences the Ludlow company

the main reason is that they intend to

quence of slight accident occurring to
the engine when near Salisbury.

NARROW EscArK.-Last Friday week,
some eight or ten men went into the res
eryoir building at the new railroad shops
in Lyndon, to sheath the roof. They
took in kettle OF burning charcoal to
heat their tools in, but had worked but
a few minutes when they began to be
considerably disturbed. Not anticipat'
ing the trouble, they kept on with their
work and said nothing, each one suppos'
ing that his feelings was faintness pc

for fresh air at about the same time
some of them having barely strength
enough left to get their heads out of the
building. A few minutes more would
have suffocated them. /.

One day after she had recited her les

withheld the certificate. Soon after,
she, with her little associates at play,

SPANISH DEGREES Respecting SLA-
vERY.-The anti.slavery sentiment con-
tinues to make Roadway In Spain. Not
long since an official decree was promul-
gated declaring that slave coming to
the mother country from any OF the
Spanish dependencies should be free at
once. This decree has now been fol-
lowed by another, authorizing the Cap
tain General of Cuba to visit the vari.
Gus estates on the island and free at
once all newly introduced slaves from
Africa. The Spanish Government has
likewise issued an order doing away
with what is called purity of blood.
Hitherto young men of color have not
been permitted to take university de.
gree thus being debarred from entering
any OF the learned professions. This re-
striction is now removed.

Work AND WAGEs.-The New York
Evening Post publishes an article on the
condition of the wOrkmen and workwo.
men of that city, which shows that the
members Of almost all the trades are at
work regularly and at good prices, ex-
Cept the ship. buildcrs and the trades
distinctively connected with ship build
ing. On the other hand, the trades con-
neCted with the house building interest
are just now the most flOurishing, house
carpenters being in demand at $3.50 q
day, house painters the same, while
plasterers are scarce, though $3.50 to
S. day are offered, and masons and
brick layers find work reasonably brisk,
though their hurrying season is over.
All the trades that manufacture articles
for personal wear are employed to an ex-
tent equal to that in any former year,
and marble cutters and tinsmiths are
unusually busy the latter finding quick
market for their wares at the South
since the war closed This is the dull
season for stevederes or lODgshoremen,
but the demand for their services is much
less than usual this winter, on account
OF the stagnation of commerce. Proba-
bly, two thousand of these werkmen in
the city are without work. Ship building
is fiat and probably fifteen hundred ship
builders proper are out of work, and
there is also great dullness in the trades
whose prosperity depends on activity in
ship-building such as boat.builders, sail
makers and many others, while very
large number of common laborers usual
ly employed in ship yards are now idle.
With the workwomen the case is a great
deal worse than with the men. The
superintendent of the working wo-
mans protective union" estimates that
there are thirty thousand women in New
York dependent on their own labor for
support, and that Of this number fully
two-thirds are now without steady en-
ployment. Charity will have to do a
good deal towards supplying the wants
Of these women during the winter, and
after all is said and done there is likely
to be much suffering.

ing and can but sincerely hope that the
facts OF the case when they are received
in detail. will corroborate the above
statements. is high time that 4 policy
was decided upon to be pursued by the
respective governments Of the United
States and Great Britain when either
country is at war, and it is to be hoped
that the amiCable adjustment of these
claims will establish such q policy as
will indicate the proper course to be
hereafter pursued should war frown up
on the prosperity Of either nation. The
laws OF nations cover general princi-
piles, but fail to meet cases liable to arise
instantly. There are leading men in
England, and who claim to be good
lawyers, who now contend that in moth
ing tolerated by the British Government
respecting Confederate privateers, was
there any breach Of law or plighted
faith That this view of the case is
possible, shows the necessity of a clear
understanding Of national rights and

The Decline In Gold.

The decline in gold for the past few
weeks has been steady, and the indlca.
tions are that should something not
happen 10 again initiate the market, the
tlnal crash in commercial circles which
must attend the increase in value OF our
national securities, and the reduction of
gold to par with them, is not far dis.
tant, and should that crash come, it will
be OF such magnitude that business
men naturally shudder at its contempla-
ton.
The contraction of government cur
rency : now progressing at the rate Of
about four millions of dollars per month,
and though it is probable that contrac.
tion can proceed at this rate without Sc
riously disturbing our financial interests,
many o. the best business men of the
country argue that If such rapid strides
are made toward hard currency, a
financial crash is inevitable and conse-
Quently advise the reduction of our ma
tional securities at a slower rate.
The New York Times referring to the
decline in gold, is not wholly sanguine
that the fall is to continue or will be
maintained, even, 1t says
even during the present year-in
fact, as recently as April and May last
it was quoted as low as 1875 and SO
far as concerns the special cause that
shot IL rapidly upward from that point
in succeeding mOnths-the heavy gold
exports to Europe-it is a financial INCL
dent that will certainly not be repeated
in the future
But j. adds
II the premium has not yet got as
low as it reached in April and May last,
it has been approaching it of late with a
sufficient Tapidity. In thirty days, as
we have already noted, there has been q
decline o. Twelve points, and a further
fall OF but one half that number will
bring gold down to l25.
Concluding Is article, the Times says
"Ot course IL is impossible to foresee
the fluctuations Of the next month, much
less Of the next year. The daily demand
Tor cash gold tor custom duties is at
present very small, while the accumula-
ton OF q hundred millions in the Treas
ury gives the Government most power
full position in the contingencies OF the
times. Early next week, Secretary Nc,
Culloch will disburse ten millions Of
gold interest; and this, following upon
the .Ar-c disbursements OF last month,
will prevent anything like d scarcity Of
gold for ordinary purposes.
The people cannot be convinced other
wise than that the fall Of gold is for the
public benefit. Special classes and spec
ial interests may receive advantages,
and speculative purposes may be sub
served, by maintaining gold at a high
premium, or rather by keeping the ma
tiOnal currency and the national credit
far below par, and tluctuating upward
and downward in a violent manner.
But the evils suffered by the.entire COM
munitv by the arrangement of values
and prices consequent upon such meal
culable ana often unreasonable fluCtua-
tions as we have endured in the past, are
too great and too keenly felt to allow
any sophistry to conceal them
