The Care of furniture.

A WRITER in the Iechnologist makes the
following suggestions:
HOusekeepers do not always understand
the theory of the chemical and mechanical
action of different substances on articles of
furniture. Seldom do we enter house in
which we cannot detect spot or flaw that
has bet n occasioned by either carelessness
or ignorance in handling, dropping, or
using substances which have proved their
deleterious effects when brought into con-
tact with house, furniture and fixtures.
An article is often spoiled, at least in ap-
pearance, by the application of some pow
der or sapOnaceous substance which has
been pulled up and commended like quack
medicine, to purify, preserve, and make
beautiful wherever an application is made,
but we have noticed, in nine cases out of
ten, that spots and flaws and discoloration
in furniture have occurred from the spill
ing of water, oils, alcohols, or acids Acids
act on marble. Marble is composed of
carbonate of lime; that is, compound of
carbonic acid and lime. Now the carbonic
acid has comparatively weak affinity for
lime, and most other acids will prevail over
it, and take its place when brought into
contact with compounds containing it;
thus destroying the texture of the stone,
iberating the carbonic acid, and leaving in
place of the carbonate, the nitrate, sulphate
or acetate of lime or the chloride ofcalcium,
as the case may be. Alcohol and water
produces no effect whatever upon marble,
and oils do not corrode or dissolve it, al
though they are sometimes absorbed to
such an extent as to produce permanent
stains.
On the other hand, all vanished or pol
ished surfaces of wood, while not injured
by weak acids, are attacked by alcohol.
Varnishes are composed ofdifferent gums
and resins, which are generally soluble in
alcohol. Many of them are made by dis
solving the materials in alcohol so as to
hquify them, and then when these warm
ishes are applied, the alcohol evaporates,
leaving the gum or resin in thin even
| coating over the whole surface, therefore
! it alcoholic substance comes upon such a
surface, whether it be alcohol itself, or
spirits of any kind, or even strong wine
the varnish is attacked, a portion of it dis
solved, and the brilliancy of the surface is
destroyed. Oils will not attack either
marble or varnish surfaces, and will do nc
injury except to naked wood, or other por
GUS substances which admit them into
pores, from which they cannot afterward
be easily expelled. Water affects no sub
stances except such as have open pores ex
posed, in which case it enters and causes
the substance to swell or such as are solu
BILE in water, as glue in joints, and mucilag'
or gum arabic, used sometimes for attach
ing superficial ornaments to fancy work.
The practical lesson to be learned from
that is, that housekeepers must take car,
in dealing with furniture to keep waite
away from everything porous, alcoho
from varnish, and acids from marble.

1T Is GREAT NIsTAKE to suppose that the
cause of rheumatism, neuralgia or gout exists
where the pain is experienced. The source
of these diseases is generally urea in the blood,
and it is one Of the special properties of DR..

relaxed kidneys and thus prevents them from
permitting a portion of their secretion to
escape through improper channels. Torpidity
ofthe stomach has also much to do with the
vitiation of the blood, and upon this organ

1t is evident that just now there is no sub
ject more full of interest to the public than
Life Insurance, and nothing that concerns
them more than the merits of the various life
companies in the United States.
In reviewing the career ofthese institutions,
we have been much struck with the extraordi-
nary onward progress ofthe Equitable Life, of
New York, and the marked success which has
attended the management of its affairs and
we feel that we are doing positive good by

it to the first consideration of the insuring

The Ku.kluy Committee,

The Southern outrage committee"
spects to Alabama, endeavoring to make
out case upon which to report upon
the reassembling of Congress. The Hon.
RICHARD BUsTEED, United States
District Judge for Alabama, who it will
be remembered was an appoihtee of
Mr.. LINcoLN's in 1866, and an extreme
Radical partisan, was summoned be.
fore the committee on Friday last, and
to their astonishment and disgust, no
doubt, testified among other things, as
follows:
In reply 10 a question by the chair
man, he said he had been told contiden-
TALLY, a year and half ago, by citizen
of Huntsville, that there was Ku-
Klux organization in the northern part
of the State. His informant, however,
did not tell him its object, nor did he
know from any other source. He be-
lieved now that there was no such or
ganizatiOn in that State. Having been
asked whether there was any danger to
person or property, he replied that they
were as safe as in any other State of the

Gov. VIM. II. Smith public quiet and
tranquility were essentially preserved

been appointed Judge by President

an Auditor of the State disobeyed the
injunction of the court, for which he
was fined and imprisoned the greatest
respect was paid to the jurors, and all
other parties.
With regard to the feeling of the peo-
pie towards the General Government,
he thought it was to obey the laws,
however obnoxious they We're, although
there was a deep seated conviction that
they were not equal and impartial.
Having been questioned as to the testi-
mony of the Rev. Mr.. Lakin, parts of
which were read to him, he said 1t was
entirely untrue. Lakin had represented
that thirty-three indictments had been
found in Busteed's court for violating
the civil rights bill, and had been tried
but the truth was that only one indict-
ment had been found, and that had not
yet been tried. On eX-parte inquiry II
appeared to be serious case. Lakin is

charged the jury to obey the laws,

WorkingIncn.

A convention of delegates represent
ing various organizations of working
men assembled at Danville last week.
A complete State organization was eff
fected, but beyond this we do not see
that anything important was done.
The political principles avowed by
this and all other workingmen's organ
izations in this country, are only dec.
teratlon of the Democratic positions on
the same subjects, and the object in view
will be most readily effected by interro-
eating and pledging candidates in refer
encc to them.
The most important points raised are
in reference to tariffs and public lands,
and rs to these we cordially agree with
the platform of the workingmcn. Pro.
tective tariffs are Always in the interests
of capital and whatever benefits come
from them to others, If any, are only
incidental, and this is the view the
Workingmen's Associations tako. of
them. Tho public lands should only be
sold to actual settlers and should be held
az an everlasting heritage for them and
their posterity. We shall take some
other occasion, however, TO discuss these
subjects.

A short time ago an American vessel
was shipwrecked on the coast of the
island Of Corca, near the coasts of China
and Japan, and the sailors were most
cruelty treated by the Coreans. Com.
RopGERs commanding the u. $. Squad
ron in those waters, demanded an apoi-
ogy and promise of future good bcha'
vior under similar circumstances. The
demand was treated with Indifference
or contempt, and the first opportunity
was embraced to fire upon US. vessel.
A short but indccisive engagement en-
sued, which resulted in battering down
the attacking fort. A few days after
this Com. RODGERS made formal at
tack upon Corean stronghold, the Off
clal account of which will be found at
tached.
1t is represented that the Coreans
number ten millions, have an army of
six hundred thousand men, and navy
of two hundred ships of war. They are
a stalwart race, larger than the Chinese
or Japanese, and the government so ex-
elusive in its policy that while 1t pays
annual tribute TO the emperor of China
and the tycoon of Japan, not even a
Chinese or Japanese is permitted to set
foot on Corean soil. No Corean is per-
mitted to leave the country, save the
persons who go to Pekin and Jeddo an
nually with the tribute money. They
are a savage people, and doubtless not
much better than nation Of pirates
or course the oriental rascals can not
be permitted TO murder shipwrccked
sailors, aud this war must go on until
they come to terms.
WASHINGTON, June 2S.-The follow
ing cabinet dispatch, via Shanghai, was
received at the navy department to-day:
CoREA, June 23.-To tie Secretary Of
Tie Nary. The CoreanS not apologising
for their treacherous attack on the 10th
inst, we landed at Kong Noe and took
and destroyed the tower, fort and mu-
nitions.
On the l1th we took another fort, and
then stormed aud captured the strong
hold of the enemy. Six forts in all
were taken. The troops reported the
enemy to be fully II 900 strong.
Some desperate hand to hand fighting
took place in the citadel.
Four hundred and eighty.one pieces
of ordinance belonging to the enemy
were destroyed, being principally small
brass pieces. A great quantity of small
arms was captured.
Fifty-three flags were also taken and
two hundred and forty-three Coreans
were killed during the fight and their
dead bodies lie around the citadel.
Our killed was only three. The gal
liant Lieutenant M Kee, who was first
to gain the inside of the citadel, was
killed by bullet and a spear, Marines
Dennis, Lanahan and landsman Seth
Allen. Our nine wounded are all out
of danger and doing well.

on all sides are seen evidences of the
total uniitness Of the Radical party for
ruling the country. In political matters,
they are tricky and uncertain, while
their financial agents are uniaithful and
dishonest. The Commissioner of Internal
Revenue admits defalcations in that
department amounting to three millions
ofdollars. Bailey walked off with nearly
half million, and is enjoying himself
at Montevi deo. Speer of Kansas, the
other day,appropriated one hundred and
tiity-eight thousand dollars, but his
friends, Senator Pomeroy and Repre-
| sentative Clark, compromised for eleven
thousand dollars. General Lawrence,
who only took forty-seven thousand
dollars from the pension fund, and
started for Texas, is regarded as triiler,
while Macartney's thirty.fve thousand
dollars has not disturbed his standing
in the party of great moral ideas. In
this city, fully twenty per cent, of all
the large appropriations are pouched by
the "Ring," and this accounts for the
increase of debt and taxation, with
nothing to show for ii in the shape Of
improvements. 1t is conceded by prop
erty. y.holdersand tax. payers thata change
in the government of city is absolutely
necessary, and hence the certainty of Q
