The National Temperance Conyen-
ton continued in session Yesterday, at
Chicago. Judge Black led in prayer,
and read an extract from the Chicago
Tribune, in which it claimed that pro-
hibitory laws were good for nothing
unless backed up by the police, the
sheriff's posse, the constable's club, the
army and navy. The President said
the idea of their employing force to
accomplish their work was ridiculous.
An interesting letter was read from that
faithful champion of the cause, Edward
G. Delevan. S. B. Ransom, OF Jersey
City, read the platform of principles as
reported by the committee. After con
siderable discussion, the platform was
adopted, the National Temperance
Party" designated as the name under
which to labor The Convention rati
fed the platform with six hearty heers
and tiger" sang " Praise God from
whom all blessings flow, and adjourned
Temperance men are pleased with the
platform, and say they may now be

The New York Evening Post comes
ont in open advocacy Of the plan OF re-
moving the Capital from Washington.
Its main argument agrees with that of
every other sensible person, namely
that Washington is not city. Tie
Post then goes on to say that Chicago
OF st, Louis is preferable to Washing
ton as seat for the Capital, because
each is a city. 1t infers that if city
ought to become the seat of the Capt.
tai, that city should of course be Il g
metropolis. After st. Louis and Chi:a.
go are through with urging thoir
claims, says the Post, we will talk con
corning New York.
We take occasion here to present our
claims. Washington has only tradi
tional claim. st. Louis has only a ge
ographical claim The metropolis is
the heart and brain of the country, and
eur legislators ought to be assembl
where they may be brought in contact
with it. OF course within the uominal
city there is no room Within some
part of the real city, suburb of it,
there is room. The suburb ought 10
be the one that offers the quickest and
pleasantest means of conveyance. Tia
suburb is Elizabeth. By steam this
city is within forty-five minutes of the
heart of the metropolis. We simply
call attention to the faet. lrofs

About Feather Beds.

The doctors agree pretty we'll in the
opinion that feathers are not the best ma
tcrial for filing beds; but the people do
not very generally agree with them. Pro.
badly the doctors are right, when they tell
us that soft beds are encrvatiug, making
the body effeminate; that the animal ef1lu-
via arising from feathers, though slight, is
injurious; and that, except in the intens-
est cold of Winter, the body is kept too
warm by them, for health. Nevertheless,
while geese are reared, and feathers make
a comfortable bed, people will continue to
use them, and live and grow old, despite
the doctors; though there is no doubt that
it would contribute to health and comfort, if
feathers were entirely discarded, and hair
or husk, or even straw mattresses, wholly
substituted. No one having slept for six
months or 80 on a good mattrass-lOng
enough to overcome his prejudice in favor
Of feathcrs-would willingly go back to the
latter.
Some of the objections to feathers may
be obviated with proper care. Let them
not be used until Winter fairly commences,
and put them aside very early in Spring
otherwise they will soon become impregnat-
ed with exhalations from the skin, caused
by the heat they excite, and be rendered
unfit for use. For the same reason they
should be thoroughly aired every day when
in use. Many have a second tick filed
with straw, which is placed above the fea-
Their bed in warm weather, and under it in
Winter; in either case, it is essential to
frequently beat up and air the feathers.
After years Of service, the best kept
feathers lose much Of their elasticity, be-
come matted together, and are scarcely
superior to straw. by proper treatment,
much of their original excellence may be
restored. The best plan is to give them a
thorough steaming in tight box, and
with proper apparatus to beat them thor
oughly until dry and light Nearly the
same results can be obtained without
expensive apparatus. Put the feathers
in barrel with hot suds, and pound them
as you would clothing. Change the suds
twice, and pound we'll each time-the wa
ter will show how much dust and other of.
fensive matter they have accumulated.
Then rinse them in two waters, place them
part at q time in sheet or other cloth,
wiring them as dry as may be, and spread
them on the garnet floor. Give them a
good whipping every day with rattan or
other slender rod, for week or more, until
they are completely dry, and lie up loose
like new feathers.

manner than lns hitherto been discovered.
The advantages to be derived from the use OF
the EXTINGUISHER are as follows
Every fire begins on small scale, and its
rapid and III comfortable increase is owing
to the fact that at the time Of its commencement
(when every moments delay in checking it is
Of the utmost importance) no means arc ready
at hand
The EXTINGClSIIERi is the the only Engine
that fills this recruitment,
Its is always ready for use, though standing
unused for years.
1t saves the delugc Of water now used for
this purpose.
1t is as effective in the hands Of = Boy as
the most experienced Fireman.
1t is portable, and as easily handled as
bucket Of water.
1t possesses within its self the power Of a

1861. without the said Sainsevain Brothers
having any cencern in the manufacture there
of. That deponeth has always known and
considered said Mercado L Seully as the Sole
ProprietOrs of the Sainsevain California Wine
Bitters.'
Notwithstanding the above affidavit the said
