Stopping a Newspaper.

An exchange has the following allie
CORY, which we commend to careful
consideration: "a certain man bit
his toe against apcbble, and fell head
long to the ground. He was vcxed,
and under the influence of anger and
self sutliciency, he kicked the mother
earth right sauciy. With impertnrb-
able gravity he looked to see the earth
itself dissolve and come to naught.
Bat the earth remained, and only his
foot was injured in the encounter.
This is the way of man. An article in
a newspaper touches him in a weak
spot, and forthwith he sends to stop
his paper. With great complacency
he looks to see the crash, when he finds
he only hit his own toe against world
that does not perceptibly feel the shock,
and Injuries no one but himself"

DREADFUL OCCuRRENCE--A DRCNE-

night Of Sunday last the people of the
village of Rainbow, near New Haven,

out of the house, but subsequently ra
turned TO save his five children. H.

entering the burning building, the
flames struck him in the face, and ily.

An Outrageous Insult to Oui
COlOred Soldiers.

The Boston Courier says: We are
informed by the daily press that "the
Indians Of tue plains will not take
scalps from the heads VI negro soldiers
killed in battle"
Is not this a fragrant violation of the
spirit of the civil rights bill, OF the
new amendments to the Constitution,
and of the reconstruction policy Of
Congress
This is the browning insult to our
colored citizens.
Shall the redskins be allowed thus
to make distinctions on account of race
or color2
When the colored troops fight brave
", may those untaxcd Indians scorn
their scalps, as being no trophy worth
the taking OH
This contemptuous treatment of the
black man by the red man is not to be
borne.
Senator Sumner must attend to this.
He must prepare resolutions.
He must illuminate speeches against
the noble red man Of the forest, who,
when on the war path, dares to show q
savage disrepecs to wool!
He has abolished the word "white"
in the District Of Columbia, let him
abolish the word "black" on the plains.
Let him cause it to be enacted that
when the untaXed red skin says
ugh, big Indian no scalp niger"
somebody shall shoot him on the spot.
1t is not because OF the difficulty Of
taking OF the colorcd mans scalp.
No such thing.
Indians scalp very short-haired
white soldiers,
Iii is their contempt for the negro as
an inferior race.
They must be taught better.
Here is missionary work TO do.
And new stipulation should be
made III all Indian treaties, that no dis
tinction Of race or color shall be made
with the scalpins knife.
The insult is too cutting.

Preservation of Harness and Car
riages.

A large portion of those who own
harness and carriages either through
ignorance or care!essness, pay so little
attention to their preservation that in
few months they generally look soil
ed and old. If proper care is taken
this may be avoided. The principal
difficulty results from allowing the
mud to remain on for a long time or
from the manner in washing it off, and
we will give few hints about keep
ing harness and carriages in good order
Those who have the care of harness
need not be troubled to prevent it from
getting wet, for leather, if in good con
diton, is seldom injured by water
Care should be taken however to hang
up the harness and not allow it to be
thrown into heap on floor, to lie and
mould, instead of drying of.
The leather should be kept fairly oil
ed, bu. the harness should first be taken
apart and washed with soft water, and
the oil may be rubbed in while the lcati-
er is moist, care being taken that the
application is thoroughly ma lie. For
this purpose meats foot oil is consider
ed the best. If the harness also needs
blaCking little lamp black should be
added to the oil, and the rubbing should
be continued until white cloth may
be used in wiping ofthe harness with
out being soiled Leather varnish should
never be- used Oh harness. In cleaning
the plating, rotten stone or whiting may
be used, but generally an occasional
rubbing off with wooden cloth will be
all that is necessary.
The first thing to remember in clean
ing carriage is that the mud which
may accumulate is not to be tsken of
by rubbing if it is dry, land it should
never be allowed to become so if it is
possible to prevent it, } soak it well and
let it get soft, so that by throwing on
water it will run off. After the carriage
has thus been thoroughly rinsed of,
and all the corners cleaned out, the
work may be finished with a pail Of
clean cold water and good sponge
if the sponge is not clean will be likely
to scratch the palnt.-Aiter washing a
piece of chamOis skin should be used
to rub all the paint and polished work
until it is thoroughly dry. 1t is hardly |
necessary to say that no one who cares
at all Tor q nice looking carriage will
ever leave dirt in the corners.
There need be no scar of washing a
carriage too often; if washed every
time it is run out, and dried well with
a chamois, there will generally be less
trouble about the cracking of paint
But the care Of a carriage does not end
with the washing A suitable room to
keep it in is always very important
A coach house that is
not properly ventilated, or in o damp
place, where steam Of any kind passes
it, will, in short time, furnish
he opportunity for destroying the best
painted carriage ever, made, in these
cases II 10 too common to attribute
he fault 70 the painter. 's'E !
