Uses of Paper.

Few house-keepers are aware of the many uses to which waste paper may be put. After a stove has been blackened it can be kept looking very well for long time by rubbing it with paper every morning. Rubbing with paper is much nicer way of keeping the outside of a tea kettle, coffee-pot and tea pot bright and clean than the old way of wash ing them in studs. Rubbing with paper is also the best way of polishing knives and tinware and spoons they shine like new sll' yer. For polishing mirrors, windows, lamp chimneys, etc, paper is better than dry cloth Preserves and pickles keep much better Il brown paper, instead of cloth, is tied over tho jar. Canned fruits are not so apt to mould Il a piece of writing paper, cut to lit the can, i' laid directly on the fruit. Paper is muci better to put under carpet than straw. Il is warmer, thiner, and makes less noise wher one walks oyer it. Two thicknesses of paper placed between other coverings of bed arr as warm as a quilt. If it is necessary to steI upon a chair always lay paper upon it, ant thus save the paint or woodwork from dam are.

The Carat---What it Is.

The carat is an imaginary weight, that ex- presses the fineness of gold, or the proportion of pure gold in a mass of metal; thus, an ounce of gold is divided into twenty-fonr carats, and gold twenty-two carats fine Is gold of which twenty-two parts out of twenty four are pure, the other two parts be- ing silver, copper and other metals. The weight of four grains, used by the jeweler in weighing precious stones and pearls, is some times called diamond weight-the carat con- sisting of four nominal grains, little lighter than four grains troy; seventy-four and one sixteenth carat grains being equal to seventy two grains troy. The term or weight carat derives its name from bean, the fruit of an Abyssinian tree called kuara. This bean, from the time of its being gathered, varies very little in weight and seems to have been from very remote period, used as weight for gold in Africa. In India also the bean Is used as a weight for gems and pearls.

Good Manners.

If good manners are not to die out among us. reverence must be restored. The old man must be honored, the weak must be consid- cred, the illustrious must be deferred to, and most of all, women must be respected. Wo- men have the matter in their own hands. They can compel men to be well-mannered ; and men who know how to behave with po- liteness to women will end by behaving with politeness towards each other. Hauteur all ways implies want of consideration for oth- ers and is therefor no part of politeness, save when indeed an impertinence has to be quiet
 y but effectually resented. If we were asked to name the word which embodies female politeness, we should name "graciousness.' , Women should be gracious; graciousness is their happy medium between coidness and familiarity; as self-respect is that of men between arrogance and downright rudcness. Probably there can be no true politeness where there is no humility, either real or well assumed. In this sef-making age we cannot be surprised at meeting with so much self-asser- ton and so much aggressiveness. We can but wait for the time when the process will he complete and the individual will be we'll bred enough once more to recognize hls own insignifcance.-Iem BGr.

How . President is Elected.

The question is often asked how Presi- dent is elected in the event of no choice by the people direct. As people forget such de- tails, we will, says an exchange, briefly de- sorihe the nio4,.s oasyaadi:
 Each State is entitled = as many electors for President and Vice-Presi1ent as 1t has Senators and Representatives in congress.
 Tn each State the electors are "hosen 5y a plurality vote. That IS, if there 1re three sets of electors voted for, the set having the highest number of votes is chosen.
 But candidate for President, in order to be successful, must have majority of all the electors. The Electoral College, as now con stituted, consists of BY; l59, therefore, are necessary for choice.
 If there be three candidates for President and neither of them receives majority oi the Electoral College, then there is no choice, and the election goes to the House of Repre- sentatives.
 The House must confine their choice to the three highest candidates voted for by the electors. The Representatives vote by States, and each State has but one vote; so that the power of Delaware is as great as that of New York. Each State has but one vote. A candidate, to be successful, must receive majority of all the States, or nine teen States. If the delegation is divided, the vote of the State cannot be cast, and is there fore lost.
 As the present House is constituted, and 1t is upon this House that the election will de- volye in the event there is no election by the people, nominally the Republicans hold twenty States; but its majority in ten oi these it holds by the slender tenure of one single vote. Should there be Greeley man found in two of these ten Sates, Gen. Grant could nof he elected

BOUDINOTS SPEECH.

rFrom the Springfield (,fissourD Southwest
 Colonel E. C. Boudinot, the distinguished Cherokee, made a speech Thursday Ot last week, at Honey Creek, in the Indian Nation, to a large audience of Cberokees, Missourlans and Arkansans. He declared himself to be in favor of Territorial government for the Indian country, and predicted the passage of the bill now before Congress to organize the Territory of Oklahoma. The subjoined official statistics, which he has collated, was gwen to his hearers

 The Indians in Indian Territory, or Okla homa, are nearly all civilized, and fit for American citizenship. There are 9l Indian tribes, or bands, in the United States, only 20 of whom are in the Indian Territory.
 Co.,. Roudinot denounced as stupendous folly the idea suggested by Senator Morrell, of Maine, of removing the Il savage tribes now roaming over Arizona, Colorado Utah, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, and elsewhere. into the Indian Territory. He denounced the project, not only as preposterous and i'm practicable, but as unjust to the Indians. for they did not wish to leave the country they occupied any more than the Cherokees wish cd to leave theirs. Every one of these Il Indian reservations was pledged to the lndi- an tribes that occupied them as sacrcdly as the territory occupied by the Cherolees was pledged to them. If the removal of the 177,0O0 wild Indians could be effected as pro- posed, it could only be done by system of lies and deceit, which would cover the United States Government with infamy; for the Government would have to guarantee that they should never again be disturbed, while every man of common sense knows that they would be disturbed, and that very soon.
 The Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad is nearly completed to the Texas border, while the interest capitalists are taking in the construction of the Atlantic and Pacific road, gives assurance of its early completion With these two roads completed, this vast and fertile country, larger in extent than all New England, must be surrendered to the enter prise and industry of citizens of the United States.
 Col. Boudinot said of the 5S,0O0 inhabi- tants of the Indian Territory, l3,OOO were negroes; l,500 were white men, citizens by marriage; l5,000 could speak and write tine English language; and in year 3,6OO white men, connected with the railroads, would have right to remain in the Territory, leav- ing but a small minority of ignorant Indians

The velocity of electric waves through the Atlantic cable has been ascertained by Pro lessor Gould to be from 1000 to S,OOO miles per second Telegraph wires upon poles m the air conduct the electric waves with ve- locity more than double, the rapidity ot the transmission increasing with the height. Wires slightly elevated transmit signals with a velocity of l2,000 miles per second, and those at a considerable height give velocity of 16,O00 or 10000.

Every column of a newspaper contains from twelve to fifteen thousand distinct pieces of metal, and the displacement of any would cause typographical error. And yet some people lay claim to remarkable smart ness if they can discover an error in news paper. When such people find word with wrong letter in it, they are so sure that they could spell that single word right that they are happy for a whole day.

In our local money market there has
been no material change during the
week. Money is in fair supply on short
time a 2 per cent. per month; there
has been some time loans on Real Es-
tate a IL per month, this being only on
City property.
Trade during the past week has been
quite active. Our merchants, without
exception, are doing well. New stores
are being started almost weekly and the
increased trade of Seattle more than
keeps pace with its increase of business
houses. Our people are prosperous and
are making money and our merchants
can not help but do well here as long as
they " stick to their legitimate trade
and manage their business prudently.
We hear of some snug spectators who
want to make quick turn with large
profits, going to Victoria and purchasing
large quantities Of brandies. opium. etc.
and taking it to San Juan Island, a free
port both to England and the United
States, which will probably, within two
months, come under the U. S. flag. The
goods being then in the United States,
will not be subject to custom duties, and
will show profit of one hundred per
cent. 1t is looked on just now as bet
ter speculation than terminus property
and rush of our spectators may be
expected for '' it is good thing.'
We understand that there is marked
Improvement in the rate tor County
Script. The rout of the old ring and a
healthy change in our County Commits
sioners has raised the confidence of our
business men, under the new manag-
ment of our County finances. The peo-
pie now, have every reason to look for
ward to prudent and honest management,
and the keeping of our County records
in such shape that the Indebtedness Of
the County can be sseertained at once;
and that business man asking for in
formation will not be treated as person
asking insulting questions, and med
ding with that which is considered none
of his business. We venture the state
ment that our County Script within one
year will be worth 80 cents instead of
60 cents, as now, for there is a growing
feeling of confidence, and an immediate
prospect of steady reduction OF our
County debt.
