THE Scientific American describes the
discovery, by German chemist. of
process by which white dress of Swiss
lawn, tulle, or other similar material,
may be changed to any color as often as
it is desired. The process is very SIM
pie, and consists in merely coloIing the
starch used in the doing up. Suppose,
for instance, it is desired to tint white
dress beautiful crimson: Take three
parts of fuchain, which any chemist or
skilled druggist can make, if he has no
hands, and then dissolve it i'll twenty
parts of glycerine, mixing in a mortar
with little. water; then ordinary
starch, finely pulverized, is stirredin,
and the thick mess obtained is poured
out and dried on blotting paper. The
powder thus obtained is used just the
same as common starch, and so applied
to the dress. When the latter is dry it
is slightly sprinkled and pressed with a
moderately warm iron. BY means of this
any desired tint may be obtained. But
the wearer must keep out of the rain. as
the colors are not fast and will readily
disappear on washing.

THE total abstinence men in Great
Britain must feel like uttering their
substitute for the national oath when
reading of the consumption of spirits in
the United Kingdom, during the first
quarter of the present year. Duty was
paid on GS4,O6l gallons Of homemade
spirits for consumption as beverage,
more than during the corresponding
period last year. England consumed
1856, 1888 gallons, Scotland 157 ,22S gallons,
and ireland 139, ,9S5 more than during
the corresponding months of last year.
Besides this there was an excess of II, >

proved May 2s, 1872. a Board of-eminent and
Scientific Surgeons convened at the Surgeon
Generals Office, at w ashington, on the 1st day
of July, for the purpose of examining the var
iOus patterns of Trusses now in use Several
days were devoted to the careful and thorough
examination of instruments. The question
to which is the best being one of great interest,
the learned gentlemen who composed the Board,
bringing to lis decision the most careful and
elaborate scrutiny, pronounced the Common
Sense Truss" manufactured by BARTLETT,

feet instrument in use, and the one best suited
for the retention and radical cure Of Rupture.
The decision of the board being approved by
the Surgeon General of the United States army :.
is further evidence That there is no instrument t
before the public that will compare with the
Bartlett " Common sense Truss"

any others. They are the cheapest, best made,
most durable and easiest handled by express
men and others, who cannot but handle them
carefully, and the fruit is thereby undisturbed

Nearly, if mot all others, are very poorly
made, with but little view to durability and
carrying the fruit well or keeping in good order.
Being thoroughly ventilated, fruit will keep,
under most unfavorable circumstances longer
than in any other basket; and this is very impOr-
tant most fruit is placed in unyentilated cars,
and expected to reach the consignee or COM
mission merchant in good order as when shipped
which is impossible with other style packages.
The baskets are better made than any other in
use. Enough berries and grapes are lost every
season to supply great portion of the demand
by poor package and general ill handling, which
may be wholly avoided by the use of our crates
and baskets.
We make only two sizes berry crates and

The Republican has 4 special from st
Joseph, Missouri, which says that tele-
grams received there state that part of
the Iowa Railroad train robbers crossed
the Hannibal & st. Joseph Railroad
few miles east of Chillicothe on Thurs
day, with large party of pursuers only
three miles behind them. The people
in every section of the country who
could be reached by telegraph have been
advised and the road in every direction
guarded by bodies of men. Two of the
robbers are said to be notorious desper-
ADDE'S of Clag county. The dispatch
further states that there never has been
such determined pursuit of Williams as
in this instance, and it seems almost i'm
possible for the robbers to escape. 1t is
believed, however, that they will not be
taken without terrible conflict, as they
well know that capture means instant
death.

80 much the worse; as q shrewd imam
cier said yesterday, "You can fight rea'
! son; but this is a prejudice" Yet there
| is after all some reason for the pre- cjudice
or whim or terror, whatever we may call
| it; and we have to look for it in the fac
titious basis on which all business has
been carried on among us for years; the
restless ambition which drove every man
and still more, every woman, to live in a
style beftting larger income than he
or she possessed That the first great
failure was that of a man trusted for his
integrity and high principle may account
for the electric rapidity with which the
chill of alarm penetrated through the
country to quiet country towns and farm
houses, where great financial operations
were unknown. but where Jay Cooke
literally represented the religious part Of
the Government If there was some
thing rotten in this part OF the State oi
Denmark, what part is sound? Who can
be trusted?
In that distrust is the secret of the
hard times; in no failure of crops or
other rational cause beyond our own con-
sciousness of misdoing. We stand like
gamblers arrested with the cards in our
hands, eying each other suspiciously.
Perhaps the suspicion may last long
enough to teach us an effective lesson.

BILE 1t is to people of moderate means
and to the laboring classes that the panic
will cost most dearly, and it is from their
domestic lives the cost must come. Much
can be done by the prompt pay
ment of all small bills, and the immedi-
ate adoption of cash payments in our
daily expenses. By this means large
quantities of currency will be thrown
from these innumerable sources into the
under strata of social life, where they are
so much needed and the whole load
lifted and lightened from below.

were filed again by promotion, and all
officers were showed upward step.
We feel all that the country owes to
its defenders, but American democracy
recognizes no greater patriotism in the
officer than in the private soldier. Ex-
travagant emoluments and honors be-
slowed on few are unjust to the mil
lion who periled as much, who sacrificed
their all, and who returned to work to
support themselves, their wives and chill
dren. A great establishment and high
grades of officers is always a powerful
lever to increase the army and navy, so
as to give to high rank its due dignity
The promotion to the grades of General,
Lieutenant-General,a and to the three
grades of Admiral, as they fell vacant,
was wrong. The elimination of the con-
scienceless element by this revulsion will
prevent repetition of that wrong. 1t
will also cut off our expanded army ex-
penses, and cut down our worthless navy.
A reduction of salaries also will eliminate
that tconscienceless element which, secure
in the possession of fine provision by
government, can take savage gratifica-
ton in the public calamity.

Pennywise and Poundfoolish.

Though hundreds of manufacturing
companies are driven, by the financial
embarrassment which has overtaken the
country, to the alternative of suspending
altogether, or reducing the wages OF
their employees, the latter are almost
universally threatening to strike II any
such reduction is made. Some working
men, indeed, are striking for higher wages
They seem as incapable of understanding
their own interests as they are lndIffer-
ent to those of their employers. But the
truth is that the labor unions are abso-
lutely controlled by very few shrewd,
designing, unscrupulous men, who have
been receiving such high wages that they
can afford to remain idle for while, or
by professional agitators who live by con-
tributions from the more credulous dupeS
and ignorant members of these organiza-
tions. Under the bad advice of these
demagogues, there are, in hundreds OF
instances, refusing to work at all rather
than submit to small reduction OF their
wages, thus not only subjecting their
families to absolute want, but compelling
their employer to suspend operations en-
tirely.
1t is shown by the last census that
3,7O7, ,42l working men are employed In
mining, manufacturing, and mechanics.
From the distress sure to follow even the
temporary suspension of portion OF our
manufacturing establishments, and the
consequent discharge of workingmen en-
ployed in them, and as miners and me-
chanics, some idea may be formed of the
calamity a policy would prove which
should permanently suspend nearly all
manufacturing operations, and deprive
large portion of three millions of workers
of employment. That is what the "Rev-
enue Reformers' and the Democratic
party propose Free trade would not, OF
course destroy all kinds of manutactur-
ing enterprises. But it would shut up
large portion of our cotton, woolen, and
silk factories, and prove almost literally
ruinous to our iron manufacturing inter-
ests. At least one-half of these 3, 100000
workingmen, now earning, on an average,
$3.50 year each, or more than thirteen
thousand millions of dollars in the aggre-
gate, would be deprived of their legiti-
mate employment. And this great sacri-
fee is to be made that British manufac-
turers may enjoy the privilege OF send
ing their products free Of duty
