About three years ago, young man
presented himself to Mr.. Corwin for o

LOOK TO YovK FURS.-furs will soon
be laid aside for some eight months,
and it is all important thnt until that
time they should be secured against
moths-thcr mortal enemy. Fnrs arc
costly. and beautiful rs well as useful,
but nothing looks worse than shabby
lurs, made 30 from the destructive in
roads of the moth. The worst thing
TO be done with furs is 10 shut them
out Of sight from tho air and forget
them. The next worse thing is to put
them away damp. Should they be-
come damp by exposure TO the rain
they should be placed no nearer to the
fire than where they will dry slowly.
When the season for their use Is over
they should not be shut up in tight
chest. box or drawer. for more than u
few days or II week without being ta'
ken out and shaken. Putting them in
II drawer that is frequently opened is
recommended, in order thnt they may
be- frequently seen, and thus DC re-
minded Of the necessity Of attending
to them. TO preserve furs perfectly,
and without the least fear of moths.
frequent airing, shaking, and general
cleanliness, together with IL good sup
ply Of camphor, is the grand specific.

Indiana.

The ratification Of the Fifteenth
Amendment by the Legislature Of In
diana was unexpected and has been
the result Of unusual circumstances.
The Republicans having q majority,
there was but one way in which the
Democrats could prevent ratification
and that WAS by the revolutionary step
OF breaking up the Legislature. They
did this Mt the last session and tried to
do it this time, and were only pre-.
vented by the shrcwdncss Of tho Re-
publican managers IN catching them
on the wing. This mode Of prevent
ing legislation BY II minority IS most
reprchcnsiblc and dangerous. If it
gets to be- the fashion for mlnoritics in
our public bodies thus violently to
dissolve them TO prevent the enact
mcntS of q majority, what becomes Of
our boastcd dictum That the majority
shall rule, and where will 1t ull end?
We are sorry the advocates, of tho
Amendment in Indiana had to carry It
through by a seeming trick; but they
had to fight the devil with fire and
they beat the old gentleman with his
own weapons. -I"telligcnccr, May II.
