cHAPPED HANDS.

In healthy condition the skin is kept
supple by an ely secretion, which answers
the same purpose as oiling leather. Dur
ing warm weather this secretion, In com
mon with all the other -ecretions OF the
skin, is ulare abundant than IN told. When
it is insufficient the skin becomes dry and
harsh and on these parts Of the body
where the-skin is thick and subject to
motion as on the hands, Il readily cracks
or assures. The amount Of this secretion
is SO much reduced in cold weather that
the frequent washing If the hands with
soap causes them % eAan readily, aud this
the more certanlg If the soap Is not wash
ed off The alkali IN snap is usually in ex-
cess, and this combines with the oily Sc
erection, and 50 deprives the skin Of its nat
aral lubricator To prevent the hands
from ehapping, then, be careful 10 wash
all soap from them thoroughly in clean
water. This will ordinarily suffice; but, if
not, it will be necessary to make good the

A telegram fromsNew York last
week announced that about five
hundred soldiers from Forts Schuy-
Ter, Columbus and Hamilton had
started BY railroad for the Modoc
region. This would seem to midi
cate that the President has no con
fidence in a substantial peace being
negotiated BY the Commission. The
Statesman suggests that "if the
President will recall the Peace
Commission, and let the soldiers
talk with Capt Jack, we will sOOn
have q treaty Of peace which the
Indians win hereafter respect"
Yes, q heavy talk in the shape Of
leaden sbullets, rosred out in the
language Of U. S. breech-lcaders,
well-aimed, will modify their war

Last Tuesday General Grant was
inaugurated presidentof the United
States for a second term. He ell
tiers upon the discharge Of the du-
ties of that high Office, possessing in
All eminent degree the trust and
confidence Of the American people.
No stain, or even well-founded sus-
pieion Of Intentional wrong, mars
the purity Of his official life. True
in his official acts to the principles
of the party which elevated him to
power, he has most successfully and
powerfully guided them to q sue
cessfnl issue, until now organized
opposition has ceased. The past
four years Of his executive life have
been a grand success. Hepromises

careful, modest, firm, Conscientious
President in the future. We have
no doubts as to the capability and
goodness Of the President, and look
forward to another four years Of sue
