To REMOVE GREASE.-Ifa silk or cotton dress
has been stained with grease, very excellent
method Of removing the spots without taking out
the color,is to CRATE two potatoes in clean
water; pass the liquid througha cloth; then let
it stand until clear, then pour the water off; use
it by taking a clean cloth, wetting the spot; and
rubbing until it disappears, and rub with dry
cloth until the spot is dry. Be careful not to wet

Europe of the President, c. lei. CLARK, ESQ. Mr..
Rollins has been active member of the Board

THE REFORMATION OF THE ITALIAN
MINISTRY.
L. Opinione-Florence, May 49,

Inc Ministry IS reformed. Zen lays OF
p~oUrp0rJerS, conferences, and disputes
weres requisite to do what ought to have
been done on the day the designations
were given in.
The obstacle to the reformation was
removed as soon as the HONORABLE Ming
hotti agreed TO accept the office OF agricul-
ture and commerce.
This was the advice We gave him on
the day on which he was invited to enter
The Cabinet, If we have anything to be
sorry about, it is that he did not follow it
sOOner
1t is useful that the country should
know how things stand and the reason Of
certain opposition, and the reason for a
combination, in which some groups of the
Liberal party do not think themselves
sufficiently represented.
But, whatever may be the sentiments
Of part Of the Fright" what cannot be
denied is that in this Ministry will be
found represented all the sections of the
new majority-of that majority formed
by the deputies who have voted the taxes,
and by those who now join with them.
Are all these section fused Do they
now constitute a single, unanimous, and
compact party Or are there some who
would wish to maintain their own person
atty and to form party by themselves {?
We hope that it may not be so. Ifany
group whatever had this pretension, the
Ministry would not have any %homoGene-
Gus character, it would be q coalition
Ministry, representing a coalition of in
terests. This would deprive it Of a part
Of that foce, which we need should be
whole, to avoid fresh shocks and prevent
new collisions.
The incidents of the crisis must have
shown how the life ofthe Chamber is very
different from that Of the country. While
the country was impatient to have a Min
istry, various groups Of deputies were
~dispuling about the part which would be
granted to them, and the quality and i'm
portance Of the pOrtefeuiUeS which would
be ~intrusted to their leaders and friends.
A meaner dispute could not be imagin-
ed, but an inevitable dispute when people
wish to put personal conveniences above
the present necessities.
Luckily the voice of the country always
at last prevails, overcoming the resistance
of an artificial opinion, which seeks to i'm
pose itself as that of a party, while it is
only that of few individuals.
The three ministers who enter the
counselS Of the crown for the first time
have given proof of their ability as depu-
Ties. One does not risk a rash judgment
in saying that each Of them takes the Of
flee for which he is thought least adapted.
Perhaps even people think themselves
, 1869-06-29

consider in an imaginable event would be
whether it would pay US better to accept
Cuha as the gift of the ruined Cubans or
buy it of the ruined Spaniards.
