''Prime Old Brown Windsor Soap" is said
to be now manufactured almost entirely
from "bone grease" In the preparation Of
this material bones Of every description
and in every stage of putrefactive decom
position are ground into fine powder and
submitted to the action of water boiling
under pressure in a digester.
The resulting mixture is then cooled,
when the undissOlved bone earth settles to
the bottom, while fats or oils rise to the top,
and between these rests a solution of the
bone gelatine in water. Out of this gelatine
solution, by suitable processes, a patent
isinglass is manufactured for the prepare
ton of the soup and iellies Of the pastry
cook, while the oil or grease is sapOnifed
and converted into "Fine Old Brown
Windsor"
In the soap thus produced there remains
fine particles of bone earth, which, when
the soap il rubbed on the face, as in shay
ing, larcerate or scratch the skin, and the
wounds thus produced are, according to
some poisoned by n0xiOus matters, origin
ally existing in the bones, and which all the
processes of putrefaction, extraction and
high temperature, and even sap0nifcatioD,
have failed to destroy

! Extract of a letter from Fx-secrclnry
Welles-He Handles Grant Without
Gloves.
ST. LOUIS, July 4--Ex-Secretary Of the
| Navy Gideon Welles has written a letter to
| a friend in this city, which is published in
| the Times this morning, the main points Of
! which are as follows
| 1--WE were a good deal disappointed with
| the result At Cincinnati. Ii would have
| been difficult to find a more disagreeable
| and Objectionable candidate to three tOurths
Of the men who must vote for him, if he is to
| be elected, than Horace Greeley. But
while have for lifetime been opposed to
Greeley on most subjects, l think him inf
nitely preferable TO Grant. The question is
not personal one, and not ought be SO con
sidered. The Republican party has per
formed its mission, and its organization is
kept up and prolonged not to promote
essential principles, not for the interest of
the country, but to subserve the selfish
purposes of a few individuals who
have their own ends to accomplish.
Under these circumstances a change
of administration is absolutely necessary.
We must get rid of Grant. Grant is
man of hateful policy, which has been pur-
sued. Our federal system of the United
States will be entirely subverted. Let the
government become consolidated and dis
ruptiOn will soon follow. We shall be
Grant has evidently no comprehension of
our government system, nor does he care
much for it. To command and obey are
his ideas of government He knows moth
ing of constitutional restraints The place
he occupies he considers his right, perqui-
site he has earned We must get lid of this
man and his surroundings. Greeley is not
the instrument I would have lected, but
his election would be an advance, an i'm
provement on the present state of things.
A crooked stick may be made available to
beat a mad dog. 1t is necessary we should
dismiss minor differences and concentrate
on one candidate. If we can not have our /
choice, let us have the best we can get. If |
we can elect new chief magistrate, if we |
can elect new and better Congress, we !
shall rescue the government from unc0nsti- |
tutiOnal hands and from military rule.
Some of the extreme and impracticable /
free traders, as they call themselves, pro
pose new ticket, and this if it can do any [
thing will aid Grant and explain evils. /
Why talk of free trade and revenue when |
the government itself is in peril. l am for |
securing the government and preserving
free institutions before contending on mere /
matters of presidency. Grant has not one
single qualification for chief magistrate
Greeley has some. Grant has some vulgar
cunning, and is extremely selfish and ambi-
tiOus Greeley has intellect, and generous
and patriotic instincts if he is elected he
will have new and different Congress, and |
all Presidents are more or less influenced
by their friends.

THE WORLD WOULD BE THE BETTER
FOR 1T.


Ifmen cared less for wealth and fame
And less for battle fields and gloryi
II writ in kuInan hearts name
Seemed better than in song or story;
If men, instead Of nursing pride,
Would learn to hate it and abhor it,
If more relied,
ON love to guide,
The world would be the better for it.
If man dealt less in stocks and lands
And more IN bonds and deeds fraterna',
IflOve's work had more willing hands
To link this world with the supernal;
If men stored up loves oil and wine
And on bi used human hearts would pour 1t.
If yours" and mime"
Would once combine
The world would be the better fer It.
If more would act the play Of life
and fewer spoil it in Iehearsal
If bigotry would sheath its knife
Til good became more universal;
II custom, gray vii ages grown.
Had fewer bind men to adore it
If talent shene
In truth alone
The world would be the better for It.
If men were wise in little things
Affecting less in all their dealings;
If hearts had fewer Tasted strings
To isolate the kindred feelings;
If men, when wrong beats down the light,
Would strike toget her TO restore it,
IL right made might
Ia every fight
The world would bs the better for it.

A Washington special to the st. Louis

A Washington special TO the St. Louis
Democrat says:
In addition to a successful alteration in
the revenue bilb of the date at which the
whisky sections we're TO take effect, from
July to August. three other attempts to
make changes in the bill, unknown to
the committee. have been discovered.
The section changing the tobacco tax from
sixteen to thirty-twO cents pound to I'M
form rate OF twenty cents per pound was
altered, the provision making rates uniform
at twenty cents being stricken out, and the
old ditferential rate of sixteen and thirty
two cents continued. Happily, however,
the attempt to tamper with the law was
discovered and frustrated, after certain
rates had been fixed, by the committees.
On spool thread certain interested parties
secured change of figures in the manu-
script to higher rates. This was also dis
covered by the members of the Committee
on Ways and Means before it got into the
enrolled bill The next discovered at
tempt to tamper with the bill was on the
question of bonded warehouses.
The time for keeping spirits in export
bond was reduced by Congress from twelve
to six months, but here again forgery was
committed, and before the bill went to the
President for his signature the provision in
question had been altered back to twelve
months In this case, also, watchful eyes
interviewed, and before the bill was sent to
the President the attempt at tampering was
discovered and frustrated.

Encouraging Prospects Throughout the
Country.



WASHINGTON, D. c., July 1.-The most
encouraging news is received daily at the
Greeley and Brown headquarters in this
city. Hundreds of letters certify to the
effect which Summers speech on Granti5n
is doing in all parts of the country. Gree
ley and Brown clubs have been formed in
nearly every village Of the South, with the
brightest of prospects.
A letter from d. A. BursOn, Richmond
Indiana, says: Developments in favor Of
Greeley are still growing-a sort of spon-
taneous political fermentation. Thus at
our little Spring Grove settlement. contain
ing thirty-three Republican voters, twenty
four are for Greeley, five scattering and
doubtful, and four for Grant. This state of
things gives US courage. The Qnakers and
temperance people are all for Greeley. At
Dublin, in this county, there are 1926 Repub
lican voters. After Baltimore we will get
up several Greeley clubs"
The above is a specimen of the many
hundreds received here daily, all of them
leading to the conclusion that the nominal
ton of MIR. Greeley by the Baltimore con
vention viii insure his election, and will SO
operate upon the minds of Republicans
throughout the country as to virtually repu7.

the support of Mr. Greeley the great body
