A New YEARS GIFT--Any gentleman
that wants to give a lady friend present
ought to send her PETERsoN's LADIES
NATIONAL for 1870, as it promises to be
better than ever, and Peterson always keeps
his promise. 1t would be very interest
ing and useful gift. The January number
of this most excellent Magazine is on our
table, with two splendid steel engravings.
The first one is called Parted by Fate, :"
and is accompanied with a story by Frank
Lee Benedict. The second is called "a
Bitter Morning." and represents two chill
skating on the ice. This is one of the most
cunning pictures we have seen for long
time. We cannot understand how Peter
son can afford to give the superb Berlin
patterns he does, as every color in these
patterns has to be printed separately. The
stories are always interesting. The price
of this magazine is only TWO DOLLARS a
year, while the inducements to Clubs are
very great. Specimens are sent gratis to
those wishing to get up clubs. Address

BEFORE THE FooTLIGTs AND BEHIND
publishers, Messrs. Parmelee s. CO., adj
vance sheets of new book Of the above
title, from the brilliant pen of Miss Olive
Logan, tho former actress, and present lee
turer and author. An examination of the
table of contents is such as TO excite the
strongest interest. and awaken the greatest
curiosity, to see the work. The subject
matter treats of that curious world, known
in the theatrical parlance as the "Show
World" and includes everything in the
shape of amuscments that wo ever heard
of-even to lectures, which are often, it
must be admitted, the reverse of amusing,
except when delivered by Cough, OF an
Olive Logan-for Miss Logan, is whole
entertainment in herself. 1t is popularity
of this lady's writings that, whatever else
they are, they arc neuer dull. She is al
ways bright, witty, and fascinating, when
speaking, or when writing.
This book takes us into the secrets of the
"player folk ''-conducts us behind the
scenes Of the Thcatre-takes us into the
dressing-room of the Circus-among the
Gagged animals Of gerie-exhibits a
brilliant phantasmagoria of buffoons,
mountebanks, actors, actresses, operate
artists, street tumblers, .jusglers, Wild
beast tanners, their public and private lives,
habits, both good and bad, and in short, is
a veritable turning INSIDE out" of that
mysterious world concerning, which so lit
tie has hitherto been reliably known.
In the hands of an ordinary writer, this
book would suggest much that is danger
Gus to read and introduce to the public;
but, Olive Logan, has SO nobly proved her
love of good morals, and sound virtuous
principles, that no one need fear that the
tone of the book will be low.
No such work has ever been issued from
the press in any age or country. 1t is the
only work of the kind in existence, and is
work which no living person could have
produced better than Olive Logan. 1t is
the browning achievement of her restless
genius, and the good it will do no mind
can measure. Beautifully illustrated
sparkling with anecdote and story, full of
sound common sense, and pure morality.
We publish on our first page, this week,
some extracts from the work.

THE INDIAN INIoUITY.

THE monstrous iniquities practised in the Indian
Bureau under the late administration are being
brought to the light day by day. There appears
to have been a systematic effort at concealment
on the part of the plunderers who are now being
thrust forth into the outer darkness in which
they will have to grOpe about for an honest liv-
ing. And when we peruse the accounts of their
shameless doings, we are not permitted to eX-
press any surprise that they should have so stu
diously endeavored to cover up their tracks. The
latest developments on the subject of the bOun-
ties for Indian troops who served during the war
are especially instructive on this point. Com
plaint after complaint has been filed in the Bu-
reau, it now appears, and not one of them
was permitted to see the light, the only
wonder being that the papers were not entirely
DESTROYED by the gang OF thieves who made the
Indian Department their den. The total sum
paid over by the Government to the claim agent
who as we have already stated, contriVed to get
nearly all the Indian bounty claims into his
hands. amounted to $780, 401'12, up to July 6,
1868 and even this does not include all the
claims for first bounties and back pay, while one
of the Government paymasters Is reported to
have paid the Indians, up to october or Novem'
ber of last year. about $l4O, 600 on second bounty
claims. Notwithstanding the money was placed
in the hands of the agent 1t is found that ther'
orc ON file in the Indian Bureau bundles of atf
davita from Creeks and Seminoles who
sorved as soldiers in the Indian Brigade
complaining of the nOn-receipt OF their boun
ties. And even when the bounty, or portion
of it, was turned over to the Indians, they were
forced to receive part of it in goods, instea'
of money, against which outrage the chiefs o
the Creek tribe protested again and again. ou
in vain. The reason why these just and reason
able protests were passed over into musIl
pigeon-holes is found in the alleged TACT thal tn

ARE YOU REGISTERED,

THIS afternoon, between the hours of 4 and s,
the registering officers of the Republican party
sit at the places for holding the delegate elee-
tions for the purpose of revising and correcting
the lists in each division of the city. Every
voter who processes to believe in the principles
of the Republican party, and who desires to vote
the Republican ticket, should see that his name
is properly enrolled in order that he may parti-
cipate in the delegate elections on Tuesday of
next week. If you have not attended to this
duty, and it is not too late when this paragraph
meets your eye, do your duty without further

IL is about time that this sort Of thing was at

pect to be rid of that perpetual frontier sensa-
tion-an Indian war When human beings are
systematically subjected to such swindlng as
this we may expect the trouble of fighting them
into submission, and of securing submission
only at the point of the sword. President Grant
has resolved to do all in his power to bring
about reform, and with that object in view he
has appointed an Indian as the chief of the In
dian Bureau and a number of Quakers as In
dian agents. The Senate has not quietly ac-
quiesced in the proposed change of policy but
we trust that the President will continue to APP
point Quakers, and Quakers alone, in spite of
the Senate and of the swinders whom they have
striven 50 hard to uphold. 1t is merely an ex-
periment but no experiment can result more
disastrously than the old system, and this expert
ment may possibly result in putting an end to
the Indian Bureau iniquity for all time to come.
PREPARE FOR THE BA TILE.
THIS afternoon the lists of Republican voters in
each of the election divisions of the city are
Delng reVlseCA Inc delegate elections for the
State Convention, which is to be held in this
city during the month of June, will take place
on Tuesday of next week. There is, therefore,
no time to be lost by the members of the Repub-
lican party who desire to sec placed before the
people State ticket which shall possess all the
elements of strength. The professionals are at
work. and have been at work for weeks past,
fixing up" the Senatorial and Representative
conventions in such a fashion as will best pro-
mote their interests, without any regard to the
wishes of the mass of the party. But in almost
every division in the city their neat little schemes
can be overthrown if the people will put their
hands to the work without delay, and not desist
until the clock strikes eight week hence. In
every division of the city upright and response
bic Republicans should be placed in nomination
as delegates to the preliminary conventions,
and the friends of reform should go to work

Convention are to be selected. Every day counts
when there are but six of them in which to ac-
complish the task.

THE FINANCES OF MEXICO are in very
shaky condition. Mr.. Romero, the recent Minis
ter to this country, and now Secretary of the
Treasury, estimates the cost of carrying on the
Government during the next fiscal year at
$25, ,1SS,670, while the estimated receipts reach
only $15, ,536, ,354, leaving deficit of go 652, ,316-
or fully 3S per cent. Various schemes for meet
ing this deficit are proposed among them being
an issue of S1S,000,0O0 in Treasury notes. Put
ting all together, Mexico is in very bad way and
it is not surprising that she is willing to part
with large slice of territory for handsome
considerations But just at present we do not
wish to purchase on such terms.

BATHING.


For persons in sound health, the
best time for bathing is immediately
on rising in the morning; that for in
valids or persons of delicate habit
of body, is in the forenoon or evening,
when the system, strengthened by
food, is also relieved from the labor of
digestion. AS q general rule, the
warm bath should not be taken imme-
diately before retiring to rest, unless
employed to excite perspiration; or if
it is taken, it should not be long con-
tinued, and the waite: should be mere
ly tepid. Baths should not be taken
Immediately after a meal. After US
ing the warm bath, active exercise
should be avoided for at least an hour.
1t must be understood that these di-
rections apply only to persons in or
dinary health. If organic disease ex-
ist, such as headache, constipation, or
other arrangement of the system, med
icai advice should be taken previous
to employing the bath. In cases OF
bilious attack, bathing is frequently
found injurious; but generally speak
ing, if employed with discretion, il
not only preserves the health, but is a
valuable and active remedy in disease.
Friction with a coarse towel after
bathing is also highly serviceable in
promoting lively glow Wilson.

HOW TO TAKE OUT INK STAIN.

1t is certainly very much worth
while to know how to take ink spots
out of colored clothing. The writer,
on summers day, when it seemed as
If one had enough to do to support
life, without extra trouble, in the tor
rid heat, once upset a bottle of ink in
to her lap, over linen dress, striped
with brown and white, and trimmed
with many rows of brown braid
Aghast, the first thought was that the
dress was ruined; the second was to
dip the skirt at once into warm water,
rinsing as much ink out as possible,
but what was left made a rueful sight
-hand-breadths of doleful thunder
dark color, oyer the light summer
dross. Quick it was again plunged
into warm solution of oxalic acid
hot, that it might take effect sooner
Care was taken to dip only the spots
into this liquid (there are some people
so stupid they will need to be told to
do this,) and in minute they faded,
of course, taking the color of the
stripes with them. The linen was
rinsed in warm water again, and wet
with a solution of ammonia, which
changed the skirt to its original color,
and the dress was as good as ever
Henceforth l keep high and sublime
courage over all ink mishaps, sure that
acid and ammonia and care will make
all right again. The process must be
gone through with as quickly as pos
sible, when once begun, but it will
cancel old ink stains on wool, cotton
or linen.
