The PresIdent's Policy Toward the

We stated few days since that the correspon-

policy of the President would be, and although
they might have fairly represented the views Of
that fuuctionary at the time of writing their let

vsry different policy month hence. Ard We are
already told, by the Warrington Chronicle. that
tAsrs IL to bs no change in the Presidents policy
toward the South. That paper il the organ OF

ral other papers to the effect that the President ia
vcrsd universal amnesty and would recommend
modification of tie Ku.Klux laws denounce all
bitterness toward the South end encourage recon-
citation in al possible ways
We expressed our fears that there was no reli-
ancs to be placed in the published statements OF
correspondents and that the policy OF the Presi-
dent would not be known until it was dictated
from the party Of which he is merely the executive
head. He 10 now said to be at work on his Mes

Why Lace is Costly,

The finest specimen of Brussels lace
is so complicated as to require the la
Dor of seven persons on one piece, and
each operative is employed at distinct
features of the work. The thread used
is of exquisite tineness, which is spun
in dark underground rooms, where it is
sufficiently moist to prevent the thread
from separating. 1t is so delicate as
scarcely to be seen, and the room is so
arranged that all the light admitted
shall fall upon the work. 1t is such
material that renders tie genuine Brus-
sells ground so costly. On a piece of
Valenciennes not two inches wide, from
two to three hume red bobbins are some
times used; and for larger width as
many as clght hundred on the same
pillow.
