A CRAZY FlEND.-Ne,c YORK., April

eyes had been roasted out Her eldest
child, a little girl Of five years, was found
quietly asleep in bed in another room,
unframed by her crazy mother. The
children were evidently first strangled,
then stripped and theu roasted on top of
the stove, as portions of human flesh and
hair were found nn the stove, and the
room was filed with sickcnng smell of
burned flesh She had also stabbed both
Of them in the neck and twisted their
heads around aud bent them over, in or

70 PRoTEcT FuRs FROM Morris. Tho
common practice is to put away furs in
something perfectly tight, and to put into
the fur all sorts Of strong scented articles,
such as campnor gum, tobacco, cedar,and
even some using turpentinc. All these
have the effect to dry up and iniurc the
fur, and is not the least protection from
moths, as the iurs are put into perfectly
tight packages that NJ moth or miller
could enter Ladies are very much sur
priscd upon taking out their furs in the
fall to find that they are injured by the
moths after all this care. The simple
answer is that the embyro moth was in
the furs when they were put away, The
deposit of the miller is so small that it is
not noticed, and the worm grows very
rapidly, and does the mischief, the cam
phor and cedar having no effect upon it.
The moth miller has access TO the furs
before they are put away, and while it
dislikes the smell Of camphor and cedar,
this is not applied to the furs until after
the miller has had access to it,
Furs should DC thoroughly whipped
with small smooth round stick to get
out all the dust and the small deposit of
the miller before putting away, aud then
put ieto something that is SO tight that a
very small miller cannot crawl into. A
linen pillow case is good thing to slip
the box into. As it is possible that the
furs may not have been whipped perfect
y clean when put away, it is desirable
to take them out, say in June, and whip
them again, when if there are any moths
in them they will be in the form Of worms
and may easily whipped out, Never
hang furs out to air, but put them back
in the boxes as soon as they are whipped.
II in whipping furs the fur is found to be
loose it is evidence that there are moths
in them, and they should be whipped I'M
the fur will not fly at all.

ga Washington correspondent says
there is much feeling on the part of the
high officers of the Treasury Department
with reference TO tho differences between
the Secretary and the house of Phelps,
Dodge & Co. Friends of the latter claim
that the statement recently made by ex.
Secretary Boutwell,, to the effect that the
Treasury Department never compromised
with q person who had not first acknowl-
edged his Indebtedness and improperly
of conduct does not fairly represent the
condition Of the case Of that firm. The
firm had been guilty. as all admit, of at
least technical violation Of law. The
alternative was presented to them either
to lay themselves open to suit, subject
to oil the expenses and vexations attend
ing any action with the Government, and
the risk of being obliged to pay 81 ,000,-
600 in the end. or else to acknowledge
the violation Of law, and pay the penalty
prescribed in such cases, amounting in the
present instance to S271 900. The
friends of the firm say they were COM
eled TO accept the lesser of the two
evils, but that both attempts were unjust
on the part of the Government. The
officers Of the Treasury are becoming
very indignant at the course Of Phelps,
Dodge & Co., and they threaten now
that unless they hold their peace the cor
respondence between ex-Secretary Bout.
well and that firm will be given to the
public. Those who have seen it declare
that it will have very damaging effect
in the eyes of the public against the firm,
and will show Mr.. Boutwell's position to
have been patient and just one

fee, at Washington, is unusually busy in
hurryng the work already in hand SO as
TO finish that portion of it belonging to
Congress before the operation Of the frank
ing abolition law. The work now in hand
includes, among other things, 10000 CO.
pies of the Poland Credit MoDilier Re-
port and testimony, and the same num-
Der Of the Wilson committee 10000
copies Of Prof. IIayden's Geological Re-
port on Colorado and the Yellowstone !;
a large lumber of reports Of the Coast
Survey, Smithsonian Report, Darien Sur
vey, &c, in all 100000 largo volumes.
Mr.. Clapp says he will have them all fin
ished and removed TO the Capitol by the
10Th of June, but it cannot be expected
that :hc Congressman to whom they be-
long will be here to send them off before
the expiration of the iranking privilege.
The result will be that most Of this vast
number will find lodgment in second hand
book stores and waste paper storehouses.
The talk is already general that the frank
ing privilege, so far as documents are con-
cerned, will be restored next Winter.
The full force Of the Government Office
is now employed, but after the first of
July there will be very material rcduc.
ton, particularly in the binding room,
where hundreds ofgrls are employed, half
of whom will have to be discharged at
that time. Congress ordered very little
