To CLsAN SroyEs.-A writer ii

TO CLEAN STovEs.-A writer in
an English magazine proposes,
instead of bla:kleading stoves and
CRATES, that they should be painted
with water glass (silicate Of pot
ash,) colored with pigment to lar
monize with the coloring Of the
apartment. Before this is applied,
the iron must be thoroughly clean
sel from grease, and rust spots
mast be rubbed off with a scratch
brush. Two or three coats of the
paint may then be put on and
allowed to dry, after which the
fire may be lighted without fear
ofinjary to the color, which may,
indeed, be exposed to a red heat
with impunity. Grease or milk
over the paint has no effect upon
it, and it may be kept clean by
washing with soap and water
Dutch ovens and other similar
utensils may also be coated with
the same material, and the labor
spent in polishing them may thus
be saved. A good coating Of this
paint it is said, will last year or
two.

PASTORAL LETTEE.-A pastoral
letter from Archbishop SraldinS
has Just been published, in which
we find the following paragraph:
In their pastoral letter to the
faithful, the Fathers Of the Coun-
Gil admonish them to abstain in
future from certain fashionable
dances, commonly called waltzes,
round or German dances, which,
as recently practiced, are shock
ing to every sense of deIicacy and
dangerous to morals. The more
effectualIy to carry out this warn
inc, and to remove all pretext tor
viewing such dances as, harmless,
we have strictly enjoined that
they be neither taught, nor even
practiced for recreation among
those of the same sex, in any OF
our colleges: academies or schools,
Whether conducted by Catholics
or placed under Catholic auspices.

Coon BREEDING.-I believe this

GooD BREEDING.-I believe this
matter of good manners and good
breeding to be chiefly in the hands
Of mothers. 1t is as easy to teach
child to say "Thank You for the
Bread" as 'Give me some bread y
as easy to accustom q family OF
children to bid their parents good
morning upon ordinary as cx-
traordinary occasions. Let there
be no company manners" Con-
vince children by example, as we'll
as by precept, that the best they
have to offer in matter and man.
ner should be laid before those
they love most earnestly.
4 boy taught at ten to enter the
parlor and bow to his mothers
friends, will do it with case at
twenty. For what, after all, is
ease Of manners but po!itenoss
being long practiced and incor-
porated as an unconscious con-
stitucnt Of the individual ? 1t
may be we'll for us to remember
the original significance OF gentle
man: gentlewoman-terms which,
| fear, would never have grown
out Of the blusteoing carriage OF a
large class Of modern gallants.
"Gentleblood," and "noOlc lineage"
were synonyms in those old days.
"tSuauittcr in modo, t0tlter in re" "
was the Latin proverb, and it has
often occurred to the writer that
we Of the present generation are
more in danger of forgetting the
mildncss of manner than the
strength in deed.

are described as producing the
most terrific scenes. At Yakima
bay ashes and cinders fill the air,
which, are as black as midnight.
Children were lost at a short dis
tance from their homes, and moth
ers were wandering around in
search oftheir infants. In the Wal
lament Valley, the sun in the morn
ihgand evening was of a murky red

vers could not distinguish the road

nor could the pilots on the steam
boats see the opposite banks ofthe

with the sum of $4,000 for the
purpose of building and Orphans

Two or three acres Of ground
have been purchased from the
city, upon which the necessary
buildings will be erected. The
ground lies Immediately in the

con and Western depot, just this
side of Vineville.
The Apppletons are members Of
the Episcopal Church, and dona~
ted this handsome sum at the So
licitation of Bishop Beckwith. It
is designed to erect such buildings
and make such improvements as
the funds will warrant. Perhaps
others will make contributions,

to build magnificent home for

following advantages, (and ma
chimes are already patented for its

/. That the fibre Of the Ramie
is stronger than that of the best
European hemp.
2. That it is fifty per cent.
stronger and better than the Bel

3. That the Ramie fibre may be
spun as fine as that of fax, and
that it will be double as durable.
4. That the plant is q vigorous
grower and will produce far the
greatest amount Of textile fibre Of
any plant hitherto known.
S. That it will produce within

from three to FIVE annual crops,
each equal to the best gathered

How A PECK OF Corn MEAL is
TAXED. The Gallipolis Dis
patch, in answer to the charge
that because man is poor he can
not be taxed, thus shows how even
a peck ofmeal, purchased by poor
man to aid in feeding his family of
little children, is taxed, to aid in pay
ing the interest on the untaxed
bonds. Says the Dispatch:
The corn from which that peck Of
meal was made raised on taxed
land, plowcd by a taxed plow:
drawn by taxed horses, hitched
with taxed gears. 1t was hoed
with a taxed hoe, cultivated with
taxed implements, gathered with
u taxed wagon, drawn with taxed
horses, thrown into a taxed crib,
shelled on a taxed machine, meas
urcd in taxed measure, taken in a
taxed sack and ground on q taxed
mill, sicyed with q taxed sieve,
mixed in a taxed pan, stirred with
a taxed spoon, saltcd with taxed
salt, put into q taxed bake pan,
baked in . taxed stove, laid out
on Il taxed plate, cut with taxed
knife, and lastly eaten by pretty
heavily taxed man.

the fact that it now controls a

Putting His Mark on Her.

FullllS his w dix Oh 11e1'
One Of the real old Mayo gentry,
six feet four inches high, stout in
propotion, rugged as one of his
mountain bulls, and proud as a
Breton, had attained the age of
forty, and was still unmarried.
Ho was constant visitor at the
house of three ladies, nor over
burdened with money or blood,
but the youngest Of whom was
possessed Of beauty and skill in
retort. Every one said it would
be q match butyears rolled away,
and the decisive words were not
spoken, though other saitors were
warned off by significant hints
from the formidable but undecided
Mr.. Blake. One evening he called
in, returning from the fair Of
Castlcbar, and he found the ladies
were having few friends in an
impromptu dance. There were
some officers lately arrived from
India, whose regiment was at
Castlebar, aE;l q certain Capt Gra-
ham and Mr.. Dlake's lady, as she
was generally styled, fast locked
in that half embrace the schot-
tishc permits. The Captain was
an adept at "houIdlng up," which
Irish and 4 great many other ladies
consider a partners bounden duty.
Blake's idea Of waltzing was as
prejudiccd as Byron's and he had
an ugly scowl on his brow that
would have frightened many men,
as the lady passed him with a
slight nod ; however, the Captain
only pressed lis partner the closer.
II am sure You will like the
captain. for dear Mabel's sake and
we rely on you to make it pleasant
for him while here" said the eldest
sister.
Mr.. Blake was standing with
his back to Tic fire, and drawing
from his pocket small branding
iron, used for putting initials on
the horns Of cattle by the pur-
chaser, he gave the turf a quiet
poke, AMI left the lettcred end in
the hot ashes.
"Your honor's lost her." whis-
percd Pat Casey, the old servant
Of the house, as he handed negus
round: "the captains less tadious
than yo"r honor in love-making."
"WciI, Blake, you're done," said
Mr.. Browne. "Waitcd too long,
my boy ; and the captain there
will carry off the finest girl in
Mavo."
"By heaven, then, he shall find
nv mark on her!' cried Blake;
and, as the walters passed, he
drew the brand from the fire and
clapped the rcd-hot letters on
the shoulders Of Miss Mabel, just
above the low dress. OF course
there was q deal Of screaming ana
fuss, but the lady recovered
sufficiently to become Mrs. Blake,
andI hear, never regretted the
event which at last compelled her
lover to speak his mind.
4 friend Of mine told me, some
time since, that he had been stay
ing with the Blakes, and he could
aver that Mrs. Blake still wore
high dresses on all occasions.
