ONE OF THE CARDINAL VIRTUES.

Somebody has written that without clean
.Iuess there can be no goduuess. Certainly
cleanliness is the basis Of morality 4 late
] philosopher said, tell me how much soap
q nation uses, and | viii tell you the per
centage of her population yearly Convicted
OF crimes. We hail reiormers Of all kinds
true retormers, we mean-as the sat
of the earth. They are thus, for they keep
| people from spelling. Enoch Morgan 5
Sons, of New York, are now introducing
something that goes beyond mere ceanli-
ness II not only cleans, but It poishes
They call it Sapolio, from the Latin Sapo-
soap; and this enterprislng firm are, there
fore, not mere moral reformers, but they are
more, they refine, or polish the nation, and
under their administration we shall also be
come wiser people, for we shall have the
means OF reflection, and reflection brings
wisdom If our readers will turn to one of
the advertisements of this house, wherein
they set forth the merits OF Sapoio, they
will recognize how those who use it can get
knowledge through reflection. The good
| housewife can see her honest face in the
dingiest tin saucepan she owns in five min
utes after the application of Sapoho. We
ourselves, tried it on a valuable but badly
stained marble center table, and it worked
like magic On iron and steel, on copper
/ and brass household paraphernalia, we find
it an admirable agent for the removal of the
results of oxydstion. Heretofore, we have
used to some extent acids for our copper
boilers. This article not only supercedes
that necessity, but also the use of rotton
stone and Bath brick We need hardly
aIlude to it's value for soiled paints, oil cloths
sc. Here it is unequaled. In short, no
good housewife can afford to be without
Sapoio, and of course no retail establish
ment to which housekepers repair for their
necessities, will fail to keep it for sale. The
man who made two blades of grass grow
where one grew before, was held worthy ofa
sceptre. A congress of good housewives
would vote the inventor of Sapolio, whco
cleans and polishes Also not only worth q
sceptre, but q crown with it.

THE DUMMY RAILROAD The Camden
Dummy is now the general topic of CONVEX,
sation and the impression with all who are
at all converssnt with the matter is that it
will add materially to the city's growth and
prosperity. The only difficulty lying in the
way of its completion, is the obtaining right
of way across the Camden bridges. 1t is
feared in the first place that it would injure
the city franchise, TO greater extent than the
Dummy road could compensate in rental. On
the contrary i: is deemed that the increase
in property valuation along the line OF the
road and taxing the company stock will be
more than the returns from the bridge. Such
rules also could be made as to prevent
difficulty in wagon travel on the bridge.
Mayor SINNERS suggestion seems at present
to be the most pertinent one IN this connec-
ton, viz Let it be tried for one year, and
il travel is seriously impeded on the single
srsck bridge On the Sears side of the river,
s chord can be built on the north side of the
bridge By the Dummy Company, on which
a track can laid and an independent cross
ing be effected No difficulty is anticipated
in getting right of way over the other two
bridges which have double tracks.
