A CLEANSING FLUED FOR WooLENs.
Ono Of the best is made by addiu, an
ounce Of sesquicarbonate of ammonia to a
pint Of water; if the salt is not fresh. a
drachm Of aqua ammonia may also be add
cd. Grease spots rubbed with a cloth
dipped in this permanently disappear, and
no other washing is necessary.

To PREVENT BREAKING LAMP CHIN.
NEYs.-Every housewife who uses kero-
seDe oil, knows that it affords the best aud
cheapest light Of all Illuminating oils. But
she also knows that the constant expeuse
and annoyance from the breaking of lamp
ehimDeys, almost, if not quite, counterbal-
ances the advantage of its use. Put the
glass chimney in lukewarm water, heat it
to boiling point, and boil it one hour,
after which leave it in the water till it
cools. The chimney will be less liable to
crack by sudden change of temperature.

To WHITEN YELLOW FLANNEL.-Dr.
Artus tells US that flannel which has be.
come yellow with use, may be whitened by
putting it for some time in solution Of
hard soap, to which ammonia has been
added. The proportions which he gives
are II lbs. Of hard curd soap, so lbs. of
soft water, and two-thirds of pound of
strong ammonia. The same object may
be obtained 10 shorter time by placing
the garments for quarter Of an hour in a
weak solution of bisulphate of soda, to
which little hydrochloric acid has been
added.

TINE GOVERNOR AND A HUNDRED OTHER DELE
GATES RETIRE TO the TURNER'S MALL
PROCEEDINGS OF THE FACTIONS rs
AND USURPERS.

At an early hour on Wednesday
morning, Canal Street was astir
Streamsof delegates and their friends
were fastening to the Office of the
Postmaster to obtain tickets which
alone, the State Central Committee
had declared, would be recognized
as entitling them to admission to
the place of their meeting.
There was necessarily much rush
ing and crowding. The Postmas-
ter grew irritable in proportion as
the crowd grew impatient, and he
ut last broke out in condemnation
of the selection of his Office for the
issuing of tickets, and directed ap-
plicants to 60 to the window ont
side, from which the tickets would
he given. Outside went the crowd,
and here the scene became as ludi-
crOns as it was humiliating. Many
a one of zacchean stature had to
climb up and half suspend himself
to reach the 'open sesame" to the
doors of the Convention hall. While
this amusing and interesting per-
formance was going on, another OF
an entirely different kind was taking
place inside the building. Govern
or WarmOth had driven past, II
A. NJ, in company with Hons. H. j
Campbell, p. b. $. Pinchback and
A. w. Faulkner, a large number Of
persons swelled into a procession
and fled down on the banquette at
the same time. Governor War
moth and number of delegates
who had obtained passes" entered
into the Customhouse and went ur
stairs. Here was a sight:
Marshals to right of them
larshals to left of them,
Marshals behind them, 1*
while in front of them stood ovel
a hundred United States Soldiers
with arms stacked along the hall.
The Governor, followed by the
delegates, endeavored to 60 into
the room assigned for the holding
of the Convention, and was in
formed that himself alone couli
60. but no other person. Indignant
at this fresh insult, the Governor i,
reported to have said: '-''

A FEARFUL CATALoGUa.-It would appear
that never before in the history of New York
had crime been so rampant nor offenders so
bold in their operations as now. The columns
of yesterdays papers record one murder and
suicide, two attempted murders, shooting and
stabbing ARRAY and one car robbery, besides a
long list Of minor offenses The car robber
and two woud-be murderers are in custody
but, says the Herald, ''as they belong to class
who generally manage to elude the laws the at
tempt to bring them to justice is likely to prove
mere mockery. A sad commentary this up

NEGRO CADET SMITH AGAIN.-A Washing
ton telegram to the World says: The trouble
is not entirely over with the celebrated negro
cadet Smith yet. 1t seems that when the sec
ond cadet of this color, who was appointed ear.
lY in the present summer, was sent to West
Point he was placed under the charge of Smith
who was to initiate the new conner into the mys-
teries of his position. Charges are now brought
against Smith to the effect that he is hard, ty-
rannical, and overbearing, and that he treats
his protege with genuine savage cruelty. In
several instances the officers of the institution
have been obliged to reprimand Smith severe
ly for his inexcusable conduct. The new negro
cadet is said to be very popular with his white
associates, and to be extremely gracious and
affable in his address.

A New York Herald interviewer reports
that Gen. Grant, in conversation recently,
pronounced the New Orleans scandal "a mud
die, the New York riots destructive to the
Democracy Of that State, the Republican split
in the same State mere spoils scramble, and
which would produce no division at the polls,
while upon the Corean affair he could not give
an enlightened opinion until after perusal of
Admiral Rogers's dispatches. General Grant
don't make speeches, but, according to these

Mr.. Horace Greeley is not for Grants re-
nomination for President for various reasons,
chief among which are, first, he (Greeey) is
for the one-term principle, and second, he DON
think Grant will run as strongly as some men
who might be selected. Nevertheless, the
mild and amiable Horace, if he is overrued,
will support their election of Grant, believing
that it would be an awful thing to have Dem
ocratic President. The English of this is, I
