To clean kid gloves, first see that your
hands are clean; then put on your
gloves and wash them, as though you
were washing your hands, in basin of
spirits of turpentine., This method was
used in Paris, to the great profit of
many persons. The gloves should be
hung in the air, or some warm place, to
carry away the smell of the turpentine.
To raise the pile of velvet when
pressed down, cover hot smoothing
iron with a wet cloth and hold the velvet
firmly over it; the vapor from the cloth
passing through the velvet will raise the
pile, with the assistance Of light whisk,
In order to tell when vinegar has sui
phuric acid in it, mince the pickles with
glass or ivory knife and then pour
over them little weak ammonia. If a
blue color be produced, it is certain they
contain sulphuric acid. The above is
simple and certain test.
To remove INK or fruit stains from the
fingers, take cream OF tar tar, half an
ounce; powdered salt of sorrel, half an
ounce; mix. This is what is sold for
salts Of lemon.
The best method to make old silk look
like new, and one that is employed by
millions, is to sponge over the outside
with strong. cold black tea. The silk
should afterward be ironed on the out
side.

What curious oaeuses get into court.
In London, recently. Mrs. Matilda
Heron was charged with assaulting her
husband. 1t appears that the wife went
to a party, and when she returned home
she found the horrid male creature
had retired to the nuptisl couch, and
wrapped himself up in the bed clothes so
thoroughly that there was not any left
for her. The insulted wife could not
stand this, and, as she expressed it, he
lay in the middle Of The bed. with the
clothes rolled so snugly round him that
l felt wild" This feeling Of wildness
induced her to violently lay claim to
her share Of the bed clothes, whereupon
he, aroused from his sweet slumbers,
struck her. She retaliated by making
an assault upon the vulnerable parts Of
his body with fire shovel The judge,
wretch that he was, decided in favor Of
his fellowman. SO now We presume il
is settled BY law that husband can
have all the bed clothes if he wants
them. nf

The locomotive e~ngtneers on the st. Louis
Kansas City and Northern railway fold North
Missouri) began a .'strike" Sunday, which Is
still in progress, and which 30 far has work
Cd great annoyance to all psrtiea interested
In railroad travel and transportation. to shy
nothing OF the railroad company itself.
The Brotherhood OF Lecomotive Engineers
Is an organization similar to the trades union
and other societies formed for the purpose Of
protecting themselves from the unjust de.
mand or inadequate compensation of em-
ployers, and judging from the results Of this
strike they are well organized. The trouble
began by the company dlscharging members
Of the Brotherhood, and employing outsi-
doris or ''scabs'' in tlsir place, and culmina-
ted On Sunday by almost an sntiro stoppage
OF business OF the road. The train which
should have LEFT Kansas City OF Sunday eve
ming was stopped so often aud delayed so
long that 1t was iiually hitched OIL to the
morning train, and together they reached the
Il. and l.. Junction on Monday morning after
the time for the latter train. The Kansas
City police and 4 posse under the U. s. Mar
shaI were out in considerable force to insure
the peace OF that community. but US soon al
q train would reach an outside station, ell
gineers would get aboard aud run it back in
to the city. AtSt. Charles there were SINH
lar doings, aud tho report comes from Mo
berry that the track has been torn I'D for a
considerable distance and several enxinct dis
abled.
A large number OF policemen arc now
guarding the road, chiefly from Kansas City
n st. Louis, and one passenger train ar
rived yesterday from st. Louis bringing
Sundays mail. The wires are down, and 1t 10
difficult at this writing to tell the exact state
Of affairs. The sheriff of Ray county ar-
rested three engineers on Monday for inter-
ference with the trains and IL prepared to
keep peace at the r. and L. junction.
II was reported here Yesterday that the
depot at Moberly had been burned, but we
were unable to trace 1t to q reliable source.

A WORD TO

We have Il word to say in favor of the Missouri
Pacific Railroad. 1t was the ''pionecr'' line
Westward and is the ''old reliabie'' route to St.
Louis. With the improvements which have
been made during the past year, We believe thut
the Missouri Pacific Railroad has the best track
and the finest and safest equipment of any line
westof the Mississippi. Runs daily express trains
of liue Coaches, equipped'wit 18th the Muller plat
form and the patent air brake, from Lexington,
through Sedalia and Jefferson City to St. Louis,
connecting ut st. Louis with eleven through
routes to points North, East and South. Pariic-

CENraUR

There Il no pain which the..Centanrh u. iniment
will not relieve, no swelling it will not subdue,
and no iamencss which it will not cure. This is
strong language, but it is true. Where the parts
arc not gone, its effects are marvellous. II has
produced more cures of rheumatism, neuralsia,
lsck-jsw, palsy, sprains, swellings, caked-
breasts, scalds, burns, salt-rheum, ear-ache,
&C., upon the human frame, and OF strains,
SPAWN, gals. &C., upon animals in one year
than have all other pretended remedies since Inc
world began. 1t is q counter-irritant, an all
healing pain rcliever. Cripples throw away their
erutches, the lame walk, poisonous bites are
rendered harmless and the wounded are healed
without a scar. 1t is no humbug. The receipt Is
published around each bottle. Iii is selling as no
article ever before sold, and 1t sells because 1t
does just what it pretcnds to do. Those who now
suffer from rheumatism, pain or swelling deserve
to suffer il they will not use Centaur Liniment.
More than 1000 certificates Of remarkable cures,
including frozen limbs, chronic
govt, running tumors, &c, have been received.
We will send \ circular containing certificates,
the recipe, &c, gratis, to any one requesting 1t.

HIMSELF,

Our representative in the lower house,
Hon. X. A. Collins, took occasion in a recent
speech before the Legislature to announce
publicly his withdrawal from the Democrat
ic party, and his determination to affiliate
with the opposition. Such "nnounceme
created ~un5ounded ast9nishment among the
sentleman's friends, who regretted to see 80
talented ana rising 4 young politician appar-
emily bent on political suicide. The Cauca-
sian, while mildly deprecating the haste OF
MIR. Collins, closes, however, with say ing
that as san independent Deisocratie journal,
1t does not and will not denource the motives
that have actuatcd Mr.. Collins" &c, which
Is all very good for the Caucasian, and con-
stitutcd a reasonably soft cushion to receive
the fa!iin. form Of this self p%rccipitatcd
Democrat. But it turns out that the apology
WAS uncalled for. anu did not lay MIR. Collins
under everlasting obligations, since the latter
rising on 4 question Of privilege, informed
the admiring House that his remuneration OF
Democracy was simply a joke, and that he
had no intention of abandoning the boat tha;
had landed him in Jefferson city, which, il
will be perceived, takes much wind out oil
the Caucasian sail and establishes for Mr..
Collins the reputation of having pcrpctra:
ted the most p"intiess joke of the season.
JAILoR.--Sherif Young has ap-
pointed Mr.. Henry Flynt to act as jailol
during the present term of the Sheriff.
Office MIR. Flynt Tiled the position unde,
Dir. Young predecessors, Messrs. Fleming
and Taubman, and has discharged Its dutie.
TO the satisfaction Of all parties. Mr.. f., if
Radical at all, has been Of the miIder type
and we trust this mark of Democratic mag
nanimity will induce him to leave once fol
all the ranks of the proscriptionists which
are daily becoming thinner. 1t is not likely
that any fair minded Democrat VIII be dis
posed to find fault with Mr.. Young for TIL!
step. Because Radicals set example of keep
ing every Democrat out of Office, 10 n,.tlel
how small 1t might he, is no reason why W,
should retaliate, and show ourselves as DIES
picable US they. Mr.. FlyGt is all old citizen
has proved an efficient officer, and We hayt
no fear that he will use his position. to til,
injury Of the party in the least.
