A Great Horror Done Away with

A Great Horror Done Away with.
House cleaning is q great horror to
nine men out of every ten. When that
time comes the men folks" as rnle,
give the domestic hearth wide berth. "
Oceans Of suds-the product of tons of
soap-fairly food every part of the
house. The women, from the mistress
down, labor as they never worked be-
'ore, and what with the discomfort, the
sm, I'll of suds and the dampness, and
not M. frequently sickness, the product
of colds and overwork, matters are gem
erally disae reesble. The simple use of
Sapolio instead Of soap does away with
all this discomfort. 1t lightens the la
Dor a hundred per cent, because it re-
moves dirt, grease, stains and spots,
with hardly any labor, with but little
water. and in one.tenth the usual time.

THE RIVERS AND WEATHER.

THE RIVERS AND WEATHER.
The river here fell seven inches yes
terday, and by to morrow night the de-
cline will expose to view in several places
the bar on the opposite side of the river
The channel above here will then begin
to cut out, and now where there is only
eight feet over the 0sceola bar the "cut'
will increase the depth few inches
The upper streams are declining except
at Pittsburg, Cincinnati and Louisville
and even at those points the water
will be falling in day oil
two. The lower streams are down
to summer basis, and nothing but d
deluge will get them up to a navigablt
stage. The Arkansas may beswelling
few inches, but the rise is local
affair, and does not come from its head
waters. The weather continues clear
and warm, but until to-day it has moi
been uncomfortably hot for a week.

The st. Louis Democrat Of yesterday
contains the following six good and suf'

sued by the projectors Of the great

/. They have proved themselves arch
traitors TO the cause.
2. They are building the bridge ac-
cording to law. and not according to
Gunter."
3. They framed the law to meet the
demands Of the Steamboat Committee,
but they are framing the bridge 10 meet
the demands Of engineering science.
4 They persisted in using the word
span without informing said COM
mittee that Webster says it is the ex-
tent Of an arch between its abutmeRts.'
8. They have allowed the building of
the superstruciure itself 10 progress for
nearly year without calling the atten-
ton Of the said committee to the fact
that il was not scaffolding.
6. The committee thought they had
ordered theirs straight, and now they
find it is being served up with straws.
The Engineer Bureau having declined
to entertain a reasonable protest, it has
been suggested to send to Congress-
committee from the Second Ward to
have the puisance removed.

Flowers In the Track OF War.

There is something singular and quite ro-
mautic TO those sober folks, the botsnisls,
In the fact that the track Of the Prussian
armies in France, their camping grounds,
the siege lines aud bivouscs are marked
with flowers, not the familiar flowers oil
France, but OF the Fatherlahd. Even
around Paris is this phenomenon apparent
Hundreds Of flowers, unknown hitherto to
the soil, but dear to the German heart, so
that the Prussian army, formerly tracked
by bloody fields, wrecked ambulances, aud
all the horror and confusion Of war, can
now be followed by the strange flower bloc
ming in the lanes and deids and tho bor/
ders Of the vineyards.
