FHING OVER SmKs.-For the re-mak-
ing of last years black silks may be
recommended an excellent mode of
cleaning. Rub each breadth carefully
with wooden cloth to get the dust
from the surface, then sponge it ali off
with water In which one or two black
kid gloves have been boiled, quart of
water for pair of gloves iron while
wet, with extremely hot irons, on the
wrong side. For colored silks, the
same colored gloves to be boiled; for
this purpose it is well to save old kid
gloves of all colors. Another mode
tried with great success is the same pro-
cess of rubbing off the dirt with wool
en- rag then mix an equal quantity of
strong tea and vinegar, with which the
silk is washed by rubbing it with a
piece of flannel 1t must be made very
wet. Smooth the silk carefully, fold
ing it, and In about fifteen minutes iron
it on the wrong side with very hot irons.
This applies only to black silk, black
ribbons, cravats, but might be injuri-
ous to colors.

WHO STRUCK FIRST
Anecdote of JEFF Davis and Hangman
FOOte.

Nashville Cor. Louisville CourierJonrral.
Footc and Davis were in congress
in ls4s, (while Taylor and Cass
were candidates for the Presidency
and occupied room together at
the Willard Hotel. One evening,
seated by the same fireside, Mr..
Davis read aloud from Il political
letter Of Gen. Taylor, and made
running comments for Mr.. Foote'S
delectation which the latter thought
were rather too friendly for Demo-
cratic Senator to give expression to
in the heat Of a canvass. In fact,
he intimated quite strongly that he
thought Mr.. Davis, at heart was 4
Taylor man; that spite of his pro-
fessed support Of the Democratic
nominee, he would secretly rejoice
over Gen. Taylor's election. Mr..
Davis had married daughter of
Gen. Taylor, and this little circum-
stance, Mr.. Footc suggested, was at
the bottom Of his colleagues com
pliment of the letter, adding in his
impctuous way, that it would doubt
less be nice thing, after all, to be
a son.in-law Of the President-cven
Whig President. Mr.. Davis
could not brook this sarcastic in.

granted personal interview, an
unprecedented favor to a private in
dlvldual, but as token of good
will and a compliment to the ina
tion Of hand-shakers," extended his
hand in greeting. Mr.. Stewards
right arm was entirely paralyzed,
and he had not the slightest power
to place his hand in the outstretch-
ed palm of the Sultan. His intense
modification and embarrassment
may be imagined at thus being
forced to appear even for a
moment ungracious in his
response to such remarkable
courtesy. There was an awkward
pause Of brief duration until, turn
ing to Blaque Bey, who sat beside
him, Mr.. Seward exclaimed in an
accent of irritation: "Raise my arm
and put my hand in his" Mr..
Seward was remarkable for his
courtesy, and this untoward circum-
stance at the beginning Of his inter-
view with the Sultan must have de-
tracted greatly from the pleasure and
qualification his kindly reception
gave him.

A Virginia Legislators Opinion of
Institutions of Learning.

The Richmond Wig is response
bic for the following report Of the
speech Of a Virginia legislator on
State institutions of learning: 81
am against 'em and l don't vote
money to 'em in interest on State
bonds, nor in any other shape. Not
that am opposed to education Of a
practical and proper sort; but |
think we have enough tricky politi-
clans, loating lawyers, quack doe
tors, poor preachers, and other use
less members of society, who are
above honest labor, for the State to
pay its money for the production of
such creatures. No, sir, don't vote
single time to give the peoples
money to such purposes. There is
Great blather about the benefits Of
education, and all that, and l don't
deny that proper education is very
desirable; but these State institu-
tons chiefly inculcate mean sort
of pride, that makes the boy asham-
ed of the father and mother that bore
him, ashamed of his sisters and poor
relations, ashamed of the work to
which his circumstances of life call
him, and, when he is graduated, it
is not the learning which the pro-
fessors have taught him that guides
him, but the miserable upstart pref
udices that intest such institutions
in spite of the professors One must
be lawyer, and he loafs through
life burden upon relations whom
he despises because they don't do
more for him, and often he becomes
confidence man, ending in the pen
itentiary. One must be n doctor,
and he kills more than he heals; Nj.
d. standing for numbering Ounce.
One must be preacher, and he Ell
ther brings terrible scandal on his
cloth, or he uses his calling chiefly
to secure a rich wife, and have an
easy time generally. They must all
be something which is considered
"ge.tlemanly" among the young
bloods Of these State institutions,
who all agree that honest labor is
decidedly lor. 1t is monstrous that
the State should foster the increase
of this class Of idlers, when it grows
too fast anyhow"

the other; for they had become
scattered by this time, and no long
er rode in a solid body.
We soon reached the opposite
shore, and without pausing a mo-
ment, started in rapid gallop in
the direction in which the tram
had gone. 1t was close behind the
distant ridge, we knew, and per-
haps we would be lucky enough to
attract attention. If the Indians
continued yelling, our friends would
scarcely fail TO hear it, and my own
mounted guards would be coming 10
my relief.
But we might be caught long be-
fore we could get near enough to
the train to attract attention by
shouting, for the Indians were close
upon us now-nOt more than three
hundred yards behind us-and the
occasional zip! zip! of bullet, as
it whistled by us, warned us Of our
danger.
Our horses were trembling with
fatigue caused by their terrible cx-
ertions and the sutfocating atmos-
phere, which was becoming SO hot
as to be almost insupportable; but
Notwithstanding all this they Ell.
deavored to struggle on faster as the
beating of the pursuing boots tell on
their ears.
| glanced back at the Comanches,
and ticrce-looking set they were;
their long, black hair flying back
and mingling with the tails of their
horses; their long lances glittering
in the sun. 1t was indeed u thrill
ing spectacle, one that haunted me
in my dreams long after, and caused
many slecpless night. Had it not
been for Inez | would have turned
and faced them, and died glorlously
and alone; but to have her-gentle,
loving little thing that she was
fall into the hands of these semi-bar
barians was not to be thought of for
4 moment.
The ridge was not more than a
NILE distant now. Why the Indians
had ceased firing was more than ]
could account for, unless they wish
ed to take us alive to crafty some
vengeful desire Of their own; they
were not more than fifty yards be-
hind us, when they gave uttcrance
to another fearful warwhaop; but it
was swceter than music to my ears.
''Thank Ieavenw l exclaimed,
fervently, ''that cry will surely reach
the cars of our friends"
We were at the foot Of the ridge.
In an instant we were at the summit,
and as my eyes fell upon the scene
before me-thc long line Of wagons,
the squadron of mounted men sweep
ing to our relief-the long pent-up
feelings burst forth, and as | sup
ported the reeling form of Inez in
the saddle, one. exclamation came
swelling to my lips:
"Saved. Saved"
| shall never forget that ride; even
now, as | sit by my own warm fire
side, opposite Inez, my beloved wife,
while our two beautiful children are
playing at our feet, | cannot but
think of that terrible race across the
desert when we were "Chascd by
ComancheS.

Reading Exercises--A Lesson in EN-
phasis.
From tho Newburyport Herald.

From tho Newburyport Herald.
Some years ago there was stu
dent at theological seminary at
Andover, who had an excellent
opinion Of his own talents. On one
occasion he asked the Professor who
taught elocution at the time:
"What do / especially need to
Learnt"
"You ous hit to learn to read" said
the Professor.
ooh; can read now," replied the
student.
The Professor handed the man Il
Testament and pointed to the TWEEN
ty-tifth verse of the twenty-fourth
chapter of Luke's gospel, he asked
him to read that.
The student read, "Then he said
unto them, O fools, and slow of
heart to behece all that the prophets
have spoken"
"Ah," said the Professor, s'they
were fools for bel;erind the pro
phets, were they?"
OF conrse that was not right, and
the young man tried again.
80 fools, and slow of heart to be-
lieve all that the prophets have spo-
KEN"
'The prophets, then, were some
times liars?" asked the Profes-
Sor.
"No, o fools and slow of heart to
believe all that the prophets have
spoken"
"Accordins to this reading," the
Professor suggested, ''the prophets
were notorious liars"
This was not a satisfactory con-
clusion, and so another trial was
made.
go, fools and slow of heart to be-
lieve all that the prophets haze Yoo-
ken."
81 see now," said the Professor,
"the prophets wrote the truth, but
they spoke lies"
This last criticism discouraged
the student, and he acknowledged
that he did not know how to read.
The difficulty lies in the fact that
the words "slow of heart to believe"
applies to the whole of the latter
part of the sentence and. emphasis
on any particular word entirely de-
stroyS the meaning.

Not so Easy to Preach.

The Rev. DR.. McAnally, editor OF
the st. Louis Christion .1duocate,
says a word or two in regard to the
independents idea that almost any
man may be a good preacher. Now
this, mind you, was said in regard
to preachers and preaching, as those
words are commonly understood
among us. There are many who be-
lieve, or affect to believe, that preach
ing is an easy matter, very easily
accomplished, requiring but small
amount of brains, or talent, or study
or industry. And of a good deal of
what is called preaching this may
be true. But is that preaching, in
the proper sense of the word? Is it
unfolding the deep things of God,
and the bringing things, new and
old, out Of the treasury of His word?
This is what is done by those who
are really instructed in the word of
life. And does it require bnt little
brains, but little learning, but little
talent, industry or study to do this?
Suppose some of you who think so
try? Will you? "Oh, no! it's
sacred subject, not to be tritied
with" Yes, it is 4 sacred subject,
not to be tritled with, and that is an
important reason why il requires so
mnch hard study, such painful Ia
Dor, and unceasing toll. The vapid,
frothy sensational, od captandun.,
or jejeune declamations we some
times-alas! too often-hcar from
the pulpit do not require great de-
gree of talent, except, perhaps, in
one particular, and that not very en-
viable, direction. They do require
4 great amount of learning, research
or study; but rightly to present and
rightly to expound the word of God
is a different matter.
If some of those who think this is
an easy work will once try it, they
will likely find themselves in the
predicament of a friend of ours in
South Carolina, member of the
Presbyterian church-a church, by
the way, that exercises good de-
gree of care as to whom she thrusts
into the ministry. This friend was
profoundly impressed, as he thought,
with the duty of preaching the COS.
pei. He ought to preach, he must
preach, else he would be lost, and
perhaps good many others would
be lost if he did not preach. Again
and again he applied to and impor-
tuned the Church for her sanction
and authority. But, unfortunately,
like the eleven stubborn jurors who
held out against the one, the Church
entertained an opinion of our friends
gifts, graces and qualifications for
the ministry quite different from that
entertained by himself. However,
to compromise the matter, the
Church agreed he might try. Ac-
cordingly an appointment was made,
notice given, and all things arrang.
cd. At length the day came, the
congregation came, and the would
be preacher ascended the pulpit
He went through the preliminary
services and announced the text
Half q dozen or more sentences were
uttered, with but few signs of diff
