Directions.

Fill the boiler with soft water to within about
three inches Of the top of the inside boiler. Slice
up one pound bar of good hard soap.
Bring the water to boil, and then place the
clothes in the hot water. The water will imme-
diately pour over the shell all around, and if it
boils over raise the lid.
Keep up h5t fire for twenty minutes. Then
take the clothes out ard Immediately SUBS them
through in soft water. If any shade OF the dirt
remains. few rubs will take it all out. Then
rinse them in clean water wiring dry, and the wash
ing is done. Give particular heed to the following
SUGGESTIONS.
The clothes need not be wet before placing them
in the Boiler. 1t is of vital importance to THOR
OUGHLY SUDS the clothing after boiling. Every
lady knows that the least particle of suds left in
the clothes to dry will cause the clothes to look
yellow. brisk fire is important in order to pro-
duce rapid boiling. Time may be saved by stirring
or turning the clothes occasionally while boiling.
The cover should not be removed, except when
necessary, in order to insure quick work. If the
washing be large one, the clothes should be as
sorted as dirty shirts, for instance, will require
double the time of sheets, pillow cases, napkins,
&c.
Articles much soiled may be left in for a second
boiling. White fiannels may be beautiful washed
(without FULLING) by this process. They
should be put in when the water is hot, and rinsed
out in hot water.
Colored clothes should not be mixed with white,
and unless the colors fast they should never be
washed by this process. The most delicate laces
cambrcs, &C., such as would nearly fall to pieces
if washed in the ordinary way, may be was he'd per-
fectly, without injury, by this process. The almost
absolute necessity of using soft, or "broken !"
water, is so well understood. as to hardly need
mention here
No machine ever invented will entirely remove
the streaks from dirty wrist bands and Collars
This Self-washing Boiler more nearly does it than
any other device. Should shade or streak remain,
1t Will be found to be reduced and softened as to
disappear without the use of a wash-board. by
merely rubbing them with the hands, thus avoiding
all the wear and tear of clothing by washing 1t
has been carefully estimated that clothing receives
more than 0NE-HALF ITS WEAR by the old
process of RUBBING, and consequently will last
twice as long if washed by this new process which
alone would pay for a Boiler many times during
single year, in almost any family to say nothing
of the important consideration cf saving labor.

PATENT RIGHT SECURED.
The Best Labor-Saving Clothes Cleaner
ever invented.
Thomas Greene, sole Proprietor of the
Patent Right for the Pacific Coast.

There are but few inventions or discoveries
which produce complete revolution in any de-
partment of labor. To have supposed, a year ago,
that the dirtiest garment could be washed clean
in twenty or thirty minutes, by boiling Alone
would have been regarded as an indication of in
sanity. But it has been demonstrated beyond apy
doubt that this process not only cleans the Clothes
but that garments thus washed become whittier and
clearer the longer it is used. Some people suggest
that clothes will get yellow after awhile. by being
washed in this way but such a supposition has no
foundation in fact, and is contradiced by the ex-
perience of every lady who has adopted this mode
of washing.
Everybody who has tried the machine in Shasta
have expressed themselves highly pleased with
its operations. 1t must be to be fully appre-
ciated, as its full merits cannot be properly set
forth in an ordinary advertisement
Public and private tests have been given of this
apparatus for the last six months, and more than a
million of people have witnessed its success. Ten
thousand boilers sold in New York City in less
than five onths, from one stand, and at this time
the orders reach about one hundred day. Nc
one used it directed that did not recommend
it. 1t has been recommended by more than five
thousand persons in less than six months. Among
the names are those of the most distinguished cit
izens of the United States but the best recommen-
dation is to take the boiler and it yourself Do
just as you directed and you will be more than
satisfied 1t appeals to us all as matter Of econ
omy, and can be shown to be the best kind of an
Investment. 1t will return yearly dividend in
cash of TWO HUNDRED PER CENT. ON the
money invested. For instance, we will suppose
your white clothing such as bed and table linen
ladies' and gentemens' wear, and chdrens' cloth
ing only cost you $40 year. They will last twice
as long washed in this way by the old method
Thus, you actually save $50 year by investing 10
or 200 per cent. annually. There is no family
scarcely but spends more than here stated but this
is taken a very low average of. this branch of
family expense. Added to this is the great con-
venence and comfort of the thing, which, all taken
together, makes it luxury which nossfamily can
well afford to be without.
This Boiler sells the best of any article ever offer
ed to the public Anybody after trying it fairly
will not let it 60 out of of the house.

The Buried Rebel Archives.

The Theta Delta Chi fraternity, which
met at the Astor House in February last,
listened to an Grafton by VIM. L. Stone,
who, in the course of some Interesting
"reminiscences of the rebellion, spoke of
David Tilghman as the officer selected by
the Confederate Government to take charge
of its treasure and archives.
On the morning of Davis capture, says
Stone, Tilghman waited upon him at his
bedside, ard said: "Mr. Davis, by this
map YOU see that the enemy are here /;
such and such is the situation of the roads.
If you come with me you will be aole to
leave the country in safety. If you do
not, you viii be captured in five hours" :"
To Davis replying curtly that he "knew
his own BUSINESS BEST Tilghman con-
tinued. "Very well, sir; have been en-
trusted with the treasure and archives,
and propose to secure them, even at the
peril of the loss of your favor and of my
life / shall start at once, by the route |
have marked out"
The result is we'll known. In less than five
hours Mr. Davis was prisoner; but the
archives were safe. When, few weeks
after, in the recesses of the forest, Thigh
man learned that all was lost. he alone,
with his own hands, buried the treasure
and archives and unless during the four
days that elapsed between parting with me
and his untoward death, he revealed the
spot, the secret as to the whereabouts of
the archives is forever buried; and as long
as they shall be kept from the ken of man,
so long shall the story be a monument to
our brothers answering fidelity. This is
the true history OF the archives of the
Southern Confederacy, although rumors
are from time to time set aAoat of their
being now in this bank, and now of that.

A New STORY ON Tom CoRwIN.-Don
Plat, in one of his Washington letters,
relates the following anecdote Illustrating
the politeness and humor of the late Tom
Corwin, of Ohio:
He arrived at Dayton, Ohio, late one
night, very tired from a long stage ride
during the day. The great humorist
and statesman retired to bed, observing as
he did so that some one occupied another
bed in the opposite corner The Honor
able Tom was soon fast asleep and snoring
tremendously The other traveller bore
this infiction as long as human indurance
could 60, and then he sang out:
oh sir, sir, sir
Hello, Hello!' cried Tom, sitting up
wildly in bed, what is the matter? 2
oh, SIR exclaimed the sufferer, you
snore, sir
Did | snore?' demanded Corwin is
it possible ? | really beg your pardon,
sir
And so saying he dropped asleep again
and again the dreadful snoring went on
The poor man in the next bed again
complained.
Sir, sir; oh sir
4 say, what is it ? responded Corwin.
You are snoring again
Why, really, am ashamed Of myself.
| beg thousand pardons for my impolite-
ness
And again the Senator sought repose,
but the snoring was worse than ever, and
the sufferer again called attention to the
offerse
Look here, sir cried the Congressman,
you have wakened me up three times, and
twice | have apologized; what more can
gentleman ask? Now | am tired and
sleepy, and if you disturb me again, why,
d-n it, I'll brain you with boot-jack.'
