The Virtue of Borax.

The excellent washerwomen of Holland
and Belgium, who "get up' their linen so
beautifully white, use refined borax as a
washing powder, instead of soda, in the
proportion of one large handful Of powder
to about ten gallons of water. They save
about one, half in soap. All the large wash
ing establishments adopt the same mode.
For laces, cambrics, &c, an extra quantity
of the powder is used ; for crinolines to be
made stiff strong solution is necessary
Borax being peutral salt, does not in the
slightest degree injure the texture of the
linen. Its effect is to soften the hardest
water, and therefore it should be kept on
every toilet table TO the taste it is rath-
er sweet it is used for cleaning the hair,
is an excellent dentri6ce, and in hot coun-
tries, it is used, in com bination with tar
taric acid and bi-carbonate of soda, as a
cooling beverage. Good tea connot be
made with hard water. All water can 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 Of tea used will be at least one

LIvELY-Our streets have commenced
once again to look lively and wear bust
ness-like air. During the past week, large
number of teams have arrived in town,
bringing with them golden wheat to glad
den poor, hungry man, make him feel
that there is none so good as the Great Giver,
who has blessed the whole country with a
bounteous crop and made all to rejoice.
Our farmers seem to be satisfied with the
price paid for their wheat. There is con-
siderable competition among buyers-Mr.
EDWARD CONWAY, of Milwaukee, taking
the lead, and buying heavily. He has al
ready purchased enough to load vessel
for Milwaukee, and is constantly on the
alert for farmers wagons. Competition
like this will keep up fair price.

The Advantage of Free Trade.

The North Anerican Rerie,o, in an ad-
mirabls article on the " Labor Crisis re-
marks:
The men Of the revolution saw very
clearly the advantages of freedom Of trade
within certain limits, and accordingly es-
tablished between the states, thus devoting
to 1t larger area, and greater variety Of
soil and climate than have elsewhere ever
been won for it, and thus opening what has
been unquestionably one Of the greatest
sources of the national prosperity. But
with one of those failures of logic with
which political history is filled, and which
make the growth of science of history
seem impossible, they did not see, and the
mass OF the American public docs not see
to this day, that what was good for the
states between each other might be good for
the states between them and foreigners
Everybody acknowledges that, when Mas
sachusetts men trade freely with New York
men, both are gamers, and that the estab-
llshment OF custom houses on the State line
would be misfortune for both.
But most people nevertheless, to this
hour imagine that, if Massachusetts, men
were allowed to trade freely with foreigners,
the foreigners only would be the gamers,
auu tAO 1udSSdcHuSeltS men WOulU 20 on
losing and getting into debt as long as the
trade lasted, let the foreigners sell ever so
cheaply. The dividing political line seems
to have some obfuscating effect on the mind
when it comes to deal with this sort of
problem. In the case of Canada, the alb
surdlty becomes more apparent, however,
than In the case of Europe IF Canada
were annexed to the United States to-mor-
row, free trade across the St. Lawrence
would be established at once, and to every
body,s satisfaction; and it would be uni
yersally accepted as self evident that in the
traffic which followed both the people of
the new state and of the old states would
profit. But draw the political line, hoist
the stars and stripes on one side and the
Union Jack on the other, and nothing will
persuade most of US that, if free trade were
permitted, all the profit would not fall to
the Canadians and all the loss to the Amer
leans and yet the political line, of course,
exists only in the mind, and has of itself no
more real effect on the results of trade than
the milky way.

CHIRIoUI mag Es.- We have had the
pleasure of examining quantity of gold
received by DIR. j. G. AVER & Co.. from
Honduras, in payment for their medicines,
which are extensively sold throughout Cen.
trail America. Among massive crosses,
bracelets, and chains, are the rude images
which have been taken from the graves of
the Chiriqui chiefs binds, turtles, serpents,
bugs and reptiles done in solid gold. They
carry us back beyond historic times, to Pc
riods and places where barbarism reigned
supreme. They seem to come here now in
mute appeal from the winding sheets of
their ancestors, to ask for the simple In
dians in the mountains, medical protection
from cultivated skill, against diseases that
gather them up in too early graves. Ig-
norant and unlettered as they are, they
have learned of the white man enough to
know where to apply for relief, and what
will bring it. Our well known townsmen,
above named, inform us that they REQUIRE
their remittences from foreign countries to
be made in silver and gold. -LoaveN, MAS.

Gen. Grant and the Presidency.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati En-
,ala.rn,. xur;t;nn from, Was ntnn Saua.

qaarer, writing from Washington says:
sit may be matter of little consequence
whether Gen. Grant wishes to be candi-
date for the next President or not. But it
is fact, and this fact is of some conse-
quence, that he has deliberately decided
that he aciW not be the candidate ofthe Rad
ical party, and they know it. General
Grant is not man of hasty action. 1t is
now two years since the war was fairly over
the armies disbanded. and the country been
at peace. During the whole Of this time,
until within few weeks past General
Grant has been the idol of the Radical par
ty, and he has been blindly worshipped
alike by its leaders and it's masses, simply
because it was he who had crushed out
the rebellion
During all this time Gen. Grant has
been coolly surveying the political situation.
While he was in doubt he prudently held
his tongue and made no sign Now that
he is sure of the actual bearings of the sit
uation, he takes his line. From the mo-
ment that he places himself under the or
ders of the President, as his Secretary of
War, he had Determined to 6redk Nth the
Radicals. The alternative was fair one,
and he was free to act either way. If he
had declined to accept the appointment of
Secretary Of War, Stonton would be at the
head of the War Office to-day, Sheridan
would still be the King of Louisiana and
Texas, and the name of Ulysses S. Grant
would be at the mast head of fevery Radical
paper in the land as the Radical candidate
for President He chose to take the other
alternative. He calmly placed himself by
the side Of the President, kicked oM Stan.
ton, renaored Sheridan, and has incurred,
as he chose to incur, the maleGiction and
curses of the whole Radical party. The
organs of that party cannot, and do not
conceal their bitter disappointment at his
detection, and they grow more savage in
their denunciations of him every day. All
this was foreseen by General Grant.
Z "What, then, does Gen. Grants action
indicate? Clearly this That he foresees
that the Radical party have got to the end
of their rope and that they are doomed to
certain defeat. They have undertaken to
ride the negro hobby and to carry the
next Presidential election on the cry of ne.
gro equality and negro supremacy, ana
they aoW fall Gen. Grant neuer had ans
sympathy acih them nor aoih Their prin
pies. He never approved of the Radica
legislation of the Rump Congress. He al
acoyS desired the success of The President
policy of restoration. He has been quie,
hitherto because talking is not his forte,
and because he is man of action. No,o
aehen the President needs a po,cey5ul .trieno
and supporter, he finds one IN Gen. Grant
acho ptU hencetorth openly support and carry
out has poltcy."

STARVATION IN BROOKLYN The New
York Times of the 28th ult. SAYS:

''Several g cases of destitution and death
have recently been brought to the attention
of the Superintendent of the Poor of the
Eastern District, Mr.. John Montgomery.
On Saturday last he was called to the ten
ement house No. 13l Johnson street, and
found the widow of soldier slain in the
war lying dead on a miserable pallet, with
six emaciated children beside her Death
resulted from destitution. Since that time
he was called to house on Flushing Ave-
nue., near the Cyprus Hill Plank Road,
where he found woman named Eliza
King, whose husband was killed in the war,
lying beside dying child, both helpless
and suffering from starvation. He sent
them to the County Hospital, but the ema-
ciated mother died as she was going through
the gate Of that institution. The recovery
of the child is doubtful. Again, a woman,
named Shedd, residing at No. lis North
Fifth Street. was found in dying state,
with dead infant in a decomposed state
beside her. The scene presented in the
apartments of this unfortunate woman is
too horrible for publication.

Importance of Union to Industry.

The following resolutions were adopted
by the national labor congress, in session at
Chicago:
Resolved, That the congress indorses
and reiterates the resolution adopted by the
national labor Congress at Baltimore, last
year, to the effect that the speedy restora-
ton of the agricultural industry of the
southern states is of vital importance to the
industrial class of the north.
Resolved, That the speedy restoration of
the southern states to their proper practical
relation in the Union is indispensable to
the restoration of their agricultural pros
perity."
1t needs no argument to enforce the
truth Of this. And yet portion of the
people talk and vote as if the indefinite
continuance of the present state of affairs
were matter of utter Indifference to
themselves or any one else.

EMIGRATIoN.-The flood of emigration
continues to flow through this city to the
vast farming region to the west and north
west of us. During the present season no
less than fifteen thousand men, women and
children, from every country of the old
world, have passed through Milwaukee in
search Of homes and fortunes BY far the
greater part of these were able bodied per-
sons, willing to work and carve out their
own fortunes. They settle on farms in this
state, Iowa and Minnesota, and will at once
become active producers Their value to
the country will be incalculabIy great An
other year and they will send to the great
granaries of the world hundreds of thous-
and bushels of wheat and other products,
which will help to feed the busy world

A Bold Robbery in Chicago.
From the Chicago Times. Saturday,


A most daring robbery was perpetratcd
yesterday at the rooms Of the Merchants
Union Express Company, by which the
Mechanics National Bank was victimized
to the amount of $1,000. At about three
o'clock, the Bank messenger, German
named John Gross, who had been in the
employ of the Bauk for a long time, and
was considered a perfectly trustworthy
man, was sent with a package containing
$4,000 to the Office of the above express
company to be forwarded to Cedar Rapids,
Iowa. He went to the desk of the receiv-
ing clerk with the package, and the clerk
being busy at the time was waiting for him
to take it and receipt for it. AS he
walked up to the desk, he was followed by
two men. and as he was standing there
they took position on each side of him
While in that position, with both
hands on the desk the package lying by
the side of one of them, his attention was
directed from it by one of the strangers
pointing to another part of the room-to a
desk near by-and asking him in an inno-
cent manner if that was the Office of the
Peoples express company. BY this time
the clerk was at liberty to attend to bin,
and, knowing his business, asked him for
the package, when, to his amazemcnt, be
found it was gone On looking for
his late neighbors, they, too, had disap-
peared.
Not the slightest clue was obtained to the
thieves or money. 1t was one of the most
boldly planned and successfully executed
robberies that had occurred in the city for a
long time.

BRUTAL PRIZE FIGHT The prize fight
between Aaron Jones and Mike McCoole
took place near Busenbark's Station, in
Rutland county, Ohio, on Saturday. There
were $4,000 persons in attendance. Nc
Coole won on the 34th round. Jones was
badly injured, two of his ribs having sus-
tanned compound fractures. His condition
is critical. McCoole escaped without Sc
we're punishment. Jim Elliott has chal-
lenged McCoolc, and there is possibility
of such match being made.
