CoLoRED STARcH.-A new article for
the laundry has recently been introduced
into Europe, and has found much favor
1t consists in a starch of different shades
of color, by means of which any desired
tint may be impaired to dress in doing
it up for ball or party, and thereby ena-
bling the owner to appear in sufficient va
riety of color without corresponding
number of dresses. as formerly. The most
highly priced of these new starchcs is the
crimson, which is readily prepared by dis
solving three parts of fuchsine in twenty
parts Of glyceriue, the fuchsine being first
rubbed up in mortar with little water
to thick broth, and the glycerine subse.
quently stirred in. BY this operation the
fuchsine becomes completely dissolved
without using any alcohol as solvent
One hundred and fifty parts of finely rub
bed up starch are to be stirred into the
mixture in question, then dried and placed
upon hurdles upon which unsized printing.
paper had previously been spread out.
To apply this in the starching Of a white
dress, the latter is to be FIRST washed, and
a portion of the starch treated with boiling
water, as in the ordinary preparation Of
starch, and applied to the dress in the
usual manner of starching. The dress is
then to be dried, and after drying to be
moisteued little, and ironed in the COM

A SPECIMEN BRICK.

The New York Times having stated
that one Of GRANTS relatives, o. H.
Ross by name, now a clerk in one of
the Departments at Washington, was a
gallant soldier, and was appointed be
lore GRANT became President, a CORE.
spondent OF the Sun, who says he is q
native of the Presidents birth place,
thus writes him up;
During all his youth, Ross was known
only as a common loafer, living upon
his widowed mother. He had no trade
or profession, or even common occupa-
ton, except as consumer OF bad
whisky. He was notorious through
that part Of Clermont county, Ohio,
where the Grants came from, as little
better than vagabond. When the war
broke out he failed to respond to the call
for volunteers, but remained comfortably
at home like many another frantic
"loyalist." Directly the draft became
imminent in Clermont, and he skedad-
died to Illinois. Grant was in the
army, and soon became General in the
Southwest, and the darling Orlando
followed him, where he figured as one
OF the buzzards of prey that are always
found in the rear of every army. Being
blood cousin, Grant procured him a
captains commission and attached him
TO his staff as sort of hostler and cap,
tain of the bootblacks-his ostensible
duty being that Of mail carrier or mail
agent of the army. Being VIGOROUSLY
lazy, Captain Ross hung around the
Generals headquarters and occupied
himself in all the attitudinizing and
fawning Of iavorite at court. When
Grant was transferred to the Potomac
his cousin naturally anticipated trans
fer too. But Grant had no use for him
in the East, and so enjoined him, as a
friend, relative and superior officer, to
remain in the West, and his posi-
ton would be guaranteed to him.
The little toad had swelled too much
by this time not to regard the company
OF the ribboned OK as his due; and as
he could not serve his country under
the glorious aegis Of his great cousin, he
preferred not to serve at all. He retired
TO the goose pastures Of his boyhood,
and strutted about with the martial
tread of an epaulated gosling until r.
W. Clarke, another relative of the
Grants, from Clermont county, became
Third Auditor of the Treasury, when
Ross followed the family banner, and
was comfortably ensconced in that
bureau as a government erk,where he
is not particularly modest in withhold,
ing the information that he is "a cousin
of the President" This is the gallant
soldier whom the Times commends. He
never was in action, never bore a mus
ket, nor carried sword, except upon
the parade ground. He has no capacity
as a clerk, for he possesses no education
and no character, except as cousin Of
the President.

The New York Tribune thus puts
the action Of Governor DAVIS, ofTexas,
in relation to the late election for men,
bers of Congress in that State "ln one
case he gave the certificate of election
to the man who got the most votes,
but who was not lawfully elected, as tbs
Governor thinks. In the other instance
he gave the necessary document to the
man vino got the least votes, but who
he believes, was legally chosen. Gov,
ernor DAVIS was in a dilemma, evident
ly, between his desire to do right and to
serve his friends at the same time.

THE TAX QUESTION AGAIN.

The action OF the City Council on last
Thursday night, in passing the resolu'
ton exempting the property OF the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad company from
taxation, for which Wheeling will get a
qrid pro quo, seems to have excited the
wrath and indignation of the fretful lit
tie individual who presides over the
columns of the IntelIigencer. Hethinks
the proposition should not have been
granted, because he had uttered his
opinions and they had undergone no
change. Why, you good old soul, were
YOU not aware your opinions and con-
victions didn't amount to shucks, oat-
side of a heapy law firm in this city I
We are loath to dispel the pleasing de-
lusion that our ueighbor is laboring
under, in regard 10 the Importance at
tached to his opinion; but through
Christian motives we do it for his own
good so as to admonish him from fall
ing into any such error in the future
The talk of establishing a bad pre-
cedent is all bosh. If our neighbor will
take the trouble to look at the charter
of the city (page 10 section 80 Of the
city ordinance) he will find the prece-
dent already established. And, further
if he will look on page 43 Of the same
book he will find an amendment to the
charter OF Wheeling, passed February
oath, 1866, by the loyal Legislature OF
West Virginia, which reads as follows ::
II. That the Council of said city shall
have authority to levy an annual tax on
all real estate and tithables within said
city, without exception; provided, that
such tax shall not in any one year ex-
coed the sum Of fifty cents for each tith-
able, and fifty cents on every hundred
dollars value of said real estate; and,
provided that nothing contained in this
act shall be so construed as TO authorize
taxation on the real estate lying and
being situated on Zane's Island, owned
by the legal representatives, heirs OF
devisees OF Daniel Zane, or the trustees
of Ebenezer Zanes estate, or by Richard
V. Whelan, or Elijah j. Stone, so long
az the same shall continue 10 be owned
by them, their legal representatives
heirs or devisees, or held under said
trust, otherwise than the same would
be taxable if this act had not passed
except that any part of the same may
he taxed when laid out into town lots.
There are several other cases o.
special exemption from taxation in the
city, besides the ones quoted above,
which thoroughly exploies the "pre,
cedent theory" which has taken a
tenacious hold on all the opponents OF
the proposition.
Bartering away the birthright OF
the city for a mess OF pottage," which
the MteNigenccr speaks Of is all truck.
We are not so solicitous about the
blrthright of the city il she is the
gamer by the disposal.

As THE facts in relation to General
ScHENCK's connection with the Emma
Mine are disclosed they present his con-
duct in a still more reprehensible light.
The Minister'S compensation for allow
ing his name to be advertised in the
English journals as a director OF the
company, was, the New York Herald
says, 100000, and Senator CHANDLER
had plum OF half a million of dollars
in the speculation. BIssEL, WADDING'
TON and HUGHES, who engineered the
lob abroad and have just got here since
their return from Europe, expected to
make immense sums of money by the
transaction. These men are well
known Western stock spectators, and
their connection with the Emma Mine
business is no honor either to Minister
ScHEycK or Senator CHANDLER, indie
pendently Of the considerations in re-
gard to the profits these men expected
to make 10y their association with the
adventures. Such facts as the above,
or even a fair suspicion of the connec'
ton of our Minister at the Court OF St.
James with stock spectators and stock
gamblers, should produce his immediate
recall. 1t would have done so under
any Of the former Presidents. Bat
when a President deals in stocks Of
stone quarries, Ministers may safely act
as agents for silver mining companies.

The National Board OF Trade at Chi

THE National Board OF Trade at Chi
cago decided to memorabilia Congress
to renew the reciprocity treaty with
Canada. This is significant. Large
numbers of intelligent business men
admit that the treaty should never hav e
been abro gated, and they are anxious to
have it renewed as soon as possible; but
we have slight hopes of as liberal a
treaty being secured for many years,
because the extortionists in the United
States will use all their influence 10
defeat q scheme of the kind being again
entered into with Canada. The United
States and Canada are mutually inter,
ested in this matter OF reciprocal trade
and they should not be kept on wrong
track by few interested men.

AARON A. SARGENT, who will succeed
Cole as United States Senator from
California, is perhaps the smallest man
who ever attempted to fill that exalted
position. An incident which came
within the personal knowledge Of the
writer will illustrate his caliber. In
1865 he was a candidate for the same
office. Two daily papers were pub,
lished in Nevada City, Sargents home.
One of these served as his penny
whistle; the other, the Gazette, opposed
his aspirations. A travelling yender
of standard literature came to the
town and inserted an advertisement in
the Gazette, ignoring Sargent's organ.
Afterward, soliciting the subscription
of that eminent and aspiring statesman,
the peripatetic bookman was politely
but firmly informed that while he
(Sargent) regarded the book as an
excellent one, and would be pleased to
have t in his library, still be could
not favor the agent with his valuable
autograph, as the advertisement had
been inserted in "the wrong paper"
Of such base stuff are Republican

was concerned, and the report of Sec

Collectors Of Internal Revenue during
