The last dicker of the Custom house man
ayers proposes that the Mayor and President
of the Board OF Aldermen shall have the
appointing power given them by the new
Charter. The Committee of Seventy very
properly declined, last night, TO indorse any
such proposition, and refuses to recede from
its previous position, insisting that the Mayor
shall appoint and the Aldermen confirm. The
issue remains as before, Thomas Murphy
against the Committee of Seventy,--wlth a
Legislature deciding, in the light of Con-
necticut which it is the safer to follow.

CHAPPED HANDS!

In healthy condition the skin is kept
supple by an oily secretion. which answers
the same purpose as oiling leather.
During warm weather this secretion, in
common with all the other secretions of
the skin, is more abundant than in cold.
When it is insufficient the skin becomes
dry and harsh and on those parts Of the
body where the skin is thick and subject
to much motion, as on the hands, it readily
cracks or fssures. The amount of this Sc
cretion is 50 much reduced in cold weather
that the frequent washing of the hands
with soap causes them to chap readily,
and this the more certainly if the soap is
not washed of. The alkkah in soap is
usually in excess. and this combines with
the oily secretion, and 50 deprives the skin
Of its natural lubficator To prevent the
hands from chappng, them be careful t(
wash all soap from them thoroughly ii

but, if not, it will be necessary to make

He was member of the Free Will Baptist
denomination and always interested in its pros

Soil party-as well as of the party which aavo

He retained his usual vigor of body and mind
until about three years since, when slight fall
which he received was followed in few days
by stroke of paralysis. Since that time he
has never wholly recovered, though he has sew
eral times rallied so far as to be out upon the
street moving slowly and feebly.
A man of rare gentleness and kindly nature,
he has gone down to his fathers in the fullness
of years undisturbed by any of the animosities
which so often attend us her., and leaving the
memory of pure and upright life as rich
heritage to his surviving family. He leaves
widow and four children, three daughters and
one son, the present Judge of the Superior
