Comments Of the New Work
Papers On the Cabinet.

New YORK, March 6.-The Herald
says of the Cabinet: 1--WE see in this
new Cabinet that Grant has given
managing Republican politicians a
wide berth; that he has chosen his
men for business, as his subordinates.
without the remotest idea that they
are to be his masters or his co-equais
in this administrations
The Tribune. (Republican.) saws
the new Cabinet means business. en-
phatically. Each man was chosen by
Gen Grant expressly to aid him in
carrying out the programme ofeconO-
my and integrity embodied in the in
augural.
The Times, Republican, says the
Cabinet, as a whole. will not COM
mend itself to the favor Of politicians
because it has not been taken from
their ranks; nor are the men who
compose it sufficiently well known to
the public at large TO command In adj
vance the full confidence of the COM
munity; but in the very freshness of
its character, in the fact that its MEM
berS are BUSINESS men rather than
politicians. and are likely to make the
practical interest of the country their
first care, we see ground for believing
the Cabinet will. by its practical
working, indicate the wisdom of its
selection.
The World (Democrat) says Presi-
dent Grant has made such a Cabinet
as no politician would have advised
such Cabinet as no newspaper could
have conjectured, Cabinet which fills
his political opponents with wonder.
and his political friends with sun
pressed dismay. 1t derides the an
pointments, and says not one has ever
been known in the councils of the
nation.

A MAN DIEs From THE EFFECTS
OF AN OPIATE IN A RAILWAY CAR.
Three or four days ago a Mr.. Hill
lard and wife got aboard a Mem
phis and Charleston Railroad
train at Moscow. With them was
their dead infant, whose remains
they intended taking to Column
bia, Tennessee, for burial. Mr..
HilIiard had been unwell, and,
after securing seats in the car.
swallowed a quantity of morphine,
in the hope Of obtaining sleep.
He sank into a deep slumber, but
never awoke. The opiate was too
powerful for his system, and an
outburst of grief from the heart
broken wife appr;sed the passen-
gers that death had entered the
car. Poor billiard had breathed
away his life so peacefully that
even his wife knew not her double
affection until a cessation of the
hearts pulsations told the sed
story.

VALUABLE RECEIPTS. - The
Ohio CultivatOr says that the fol-
lowing receipt is worth 1000 dol
lars to every housekeeper: Take
one pound of sal soda, and a half
pound of unslacked lime, and put
them in gallon of water, boil
twenty minutes. Let it stand till
cool, then drain off and put in a
small jug or jar; soak your dirty
clothes over night, or until they
are wet through, then wiring them,
and rub on plenty of soap, and in
one boiler Of clothes well covered
with water, add one tea-cupfull of
the washing fluid; boil half an
hour briskly, then wash them
thoroughly with some suds rinse
and your clothes will look better
than by the old way of washing
twice before boiling: This is an
invaluable receipt, and every poor
tired woman should try it.
