A USEFUL ARTICLE Ammonia, or, a.
it it is generally called, spirts Of harts-
horn is powerful alkali, and dissolves
grease and dirt with great ease. 1t has
lately been recommended very highly for
domestic purposes For washing paint,
put tablespoonful in quart Of hot wa
ter. dip in 1aunsl cloth and then wipe
Off the wood work; no scrubbing will be
necessary. For taking greasy spots
from any fabric, use the ammonia nearly
pure, then lay white blotting paper over
the spot and iron it lightly. In washing
lace put about twelve drops in pint OF
warm suds. To clean silver, mix two
teaspoonfuls Of ammonia in 4 quart OF
hot suds. Put in you silverware and
wash using an old nsilbrush or tooth
brush for the purpose. For cleaning
hair brushes, etc, simply shake the
brushes up and down in q mixture Of
one tablespoonful Of ammonia to one
pint ofhot water; when they are cleans
ed. rinse them in cold water and stand
tnem in the wind or in hot place to
dry. For washing finger marks frsm
looking glasses or windows, put few
drops Of ammonia on a moist rag and
make quick work Of it. If you wish your
house plants to flourish put few drops
Of the spirits in every pint Of water used
in watering A teaspoouiul will add
much to the refreshing effects Of the
bath. Nothing is better than ammonia
water for cleansing the hair. In every
case rinse off the ammonia with clean
water. To which We would only add
that, for removing grease spots mix
ture Of equal parts of ammonia and alec
hol is better than alcohol alone; and for
taking out the red stains produced by
tho strong acids in blue and black cloths,
thore is nothing better than ammonia.---

CINCINNATI, March 16.-The inter-
view of a gentleman connected with
the Times and Chronicle with Senator
Tipton, of Nebraska, makes that sena'
tor express the belief that Judge Davis
will be the nominee of the Cincinnati
convention in May, also preference
for Senator Trumbull.
The senator is represented as saying
that Chief Justice Mason and Governor
Butler, of Nebraska, are in sympathy
with this convention, and that Senator
Logan Is counted On, and that positive
assurances have been received that
VOORHEES, and Hendricks, OF Indiana,
will cooperate with and support the
movement. He says turther that
there are assurances Of large colored
delegations from the South. The
senator left to-day for home. He
received quite number OF calls while
here.
SUMMERS DENIAL.
The Times and Chronicle this after
noon publishes a denial, which it says
is upon the authority of Senator Sum-
ner, to the effect that he has neither
consented nor been asked to preside
over the Cincinnati convention, and
that with his present opinions he will
decline to do anything Of the kind.
THE NEW YORK EVENING POST
this afternoon editorially says the
name Of Mr.. Sumner will give charac-
ter to the Cincinnati convention, and
il trusts that the meeting in that city
will be the most influential popular
gathering of the year, and that its
course will be such as to insure the
success Of the Republican party.
DAWES AND GARFIELD.
A Washington dispatch of to-day
says that an inquiry having been
made concerning the views Of Dawes
and Garfield in respect to the Cincin-
natl convention, it was ascertained
that Dawes to-day said to the senator
that, while he had no political SYM
pathy with the minority Republicans
in the senate, the course OF the msjOri-
ty toward them concerning the in
vestigation of alleged abuses, had ex-
cited his personal sympathy.
GARFIELD
said that while he was not aware that
he had said anything that could be
construed into hostility toward Gen
eral Grant, he, like Dawes, had been
always in favor of investigating the
charges against public officers.

cURREsT POLITICAL NOTES.

The Republicans of Titusville,
Pennsylvania, on Friday last elected
their full municipal ticket. The real
issue, however, was the question Of
public improvements.
A Washington correspondent Of the
New York Tribune writes that
Charles Sumner has consented to at
tend the Cincinnati Convention, and
preside over its deliberations.
Horace Greeley, in an editorial on
the Cincinnati Convention, yesterday
morning said that if Free Trade is to
be one of the planks of the Liberal
platform, he asks to be counted out.
An he asks is that there be left free
dom of opinion to all classes on ecOnO-
mic questions.
The Massachusetts Republican State
Central committee met in Boston yes
terday, and fixed upon the 10th of
April and Worcester as the time and
place of holding the State convention

convention in Philadelphia. 1t was
voted to invite Senator Wilson to pre-
side.
Senator Upton, of Nebraska, is in
Cincinnati to consult with the trade of
the Liberal movement in regard to
the May convention. In an interview
with q reporter of the Times and
Chronicle, he named Garfield, of Ohio,
and Dawes, of Massachusetts,, as lead
ing Republican members Of the house
who were known to be secretly in
sympathy with the anti-Grant move
ment in the Republican party. He
says Trumbull is his first choice for
the Presidency, but that the Cincin-
natl Convention will probably decide
on Davis.
The New Orleans Pieayune Of yes
terdsy morning says the news of the
appointment of j. NJ. G. Parker suI-
veyOr of customs, vice LOngstreet,
has fallen like bOmbshell among the
ranks of the colored Republicans Of
Louisiana. Senator Ingraham and
Representatives Burch and Lott have
gone to Washington to protest
against the imposition of another car
pet-bagger upon the people OF LOuisi-
ana. The feeling among the colOred
Republicans at this appointment is
said 10 be the more bitter because
they have been led to believe that the
corruption known as carpet-bsg-
ism was defunct, and had
slOughed of from the bone Of
contention, ironically known as "the
State of Louisiana" Parker is fra
grantly carpetbaggish in his charac-
Ter. 1t is asserted that he resides
with his family in Lowell, Massachu-
setts; that his residence in New Or
leans has been a little more than NOM
inal, and that, since the spring of 1870,
he has not, until few weeks ago, put
in an appearance in his sO-called
adopted home.
