The MOther.in.Law.

Many good things-some of them sharp
and some very cruel-have been said of
late about mothers-in-l law, and now comes
mother, who is also q mother in law, and
tells her story. She had lived short
married life, not of the most pleasant
character, when her husband died, leav-
ing her with two children. After years
of those trials and struggles in behalf of
her loved ones-struggles and trials which
deepen affection and purify love-those
children grew to mature age and were
married. We leave the balance of the story
to be told by the mother, or mother-in-
law, if you please:
Having avoided all society and all ac-
quaintanceship when my children were
young, that l might devote my whole
time to them, l found no congeniality
in either of the two families with which
my family were connecting themselves.
After two years they were married, and
after year of boarding aspired to the dig
nifty of keeping house. After looking at
many dwellings, one was selected which
required great many repairs, and now
my services were in very great request. l
attended to all the directions Mrs. Jen-
kins wished given to workmen; stayed
in the cold empty house all day, when
there was nothing to sit on but an
empty candle-box. / did the necessary
quarreling with the plumbers, and bore
the snubs of the upholsterers. l put the
furniture in the places 1 thought best, by
degrees, and bydegrees changed It all to
suit his tastes. 1 washed the china and
glass; and sometimes fancied, when I got
dirty doing all this, that 1 was happy. 1
had for so long been accustomed to work
for those loved, that it was hard to learn
there might be any reproach connected
with it. l must do Fanny the justice to
say she was very kind and grateful for all
this trouble
On the last day, after having some cold
tea out of pitcher on the corner of a
mantel piece, 1 overheard Mr. Jenkins,
who had brought in friend to admire his
new dwelling, say:
"Well, the carpets are down, the furni-
ture is all here, and think now when we
get our servants and engage baker and
a milkman, and are rid of the mother-in-
law, we shall be ready to move i'm
Both my children married. I had my
solitary home to myself, and very solitary
it was. l tried to get up some spasmodic
friendships with my neighbors, but, being
hollow, those forced intimacies fell
through. But I ought not to complain;
it is the way of the world
L only wonder if, considering the love
we women have for our children, young
or old, the word is not apt to be little
hard on the her-in-law.-Erchange.

us all, and all alike. Upon these living issues
our opinions are substantially the same. Why
then should we not act together like patriotlc
men, and by one grand effort rescue our couh-
try from the evils and dangers that beset it?
The Republican party was founded on oppo-
sition to slavery. Slavery is gone, never to
be restored, and the foundation OF the party
no longer exists. 1t can make no claim to a
prolongation Of its power, save by wise and
pure administration. But unfortunately for
it, unfortunately for the country, its admins
tration, in many and grave particulars, has
been neither wise or pure. With its record OF
the peoples lands bestowed upon corpora
tons; Of Credit Mobilier frauds and Congress
sional corruption; of profuse and unwarranta-
BILE expenditure In almost every department;
Of unequal, unjust and oppressive taxation;
of official defalcations amounting to millions
of dollars; of Freedmen's Bureau frauds upon
both the Government and the colored man; OF
interference in elections and support of
usurped authority; of increase of salaries and
of salary grabs; and, finally, of widespread
arrangement of the finances and business of
the country, by which thousands of men have
been reduced to poverty and many thousands
deprived of employment; with such record
rs this, it can no longer justly claim the conf
dence and support of the people.
l cannot, my friends, close this brief address
without expressing my admiration for the
courage and zeal so often displayed by the
Democracy of Cuyahoga, and so eminently this
year. 1t is comfortable thing 10 be Demo-
crat when our party is in the majority, but it
is another thing to stand firm by the faith in q
hopeless minority. And therefore l have al
ways thought, and do still think, that our
brethren in the minority counties are eatitled
to particular esteem and consideration. And
such am glad to say is the sentiment of our
party, for go where you will you will hear
tributes Of praise to the Democracy of the
Reserve, and especially to yourselves.

AROJrT WASHING MACHINES.

No premiums were awarded at the Great
Inter State Exposition, but. in the Record of
the Exposition is made this report:
ave find on exhibition variety of washing
machines, and each claims excellence. Many
of them, we doubt not, are great relief to
woman kind But one which has been thor
oughly tested, and has had immense sale,
and appears to have the greater demand the
more it supplies-we mean the CAIKINs CHAM
PIoN WAsIIER-seems here, rs elsewhere, to
attract general attention. 1t is the cheapest
machine exhibited, costing only $3.50, and we
admit prejudice against low-priced articles
generally, but the simplicity and common
sense construction of this washer must over
come all prejudice. 1t is readily adjusted, like
a wringer, to any common tub, and its
simple mechanism is such that it must be
durable. 1t does its work well, and does il
| rapidly, and 10y actual performance says for it.
self that it can and does wash Wristbands and
cuffs as well as ten-pound blankets" The
time for making woman bend over the wash
board has passed away. When men avail
themselves of all manner of costly machinery
to lessen manual labor, who will deny tC
woman $50 for a washing machine? We dc
not know how the same amount of money
could be invested to greater profit, and are moi
surprised TO learn that nearly 10000 of these
machines have already been sold. They ar,
| made, sold and deii,ered to any part of the
United States, for the small sum of $50, by

Water.

WATER is the great mechanical power
in nature. 1t is the great leveler; it
moves mountains and fills valleys. All
our stratified rocks, sandstones, states,
and limestones were formed by the action
of water To the solvent power of water
and its chemical action we owe our use
full minerals, our metallic deposits, our
iron, copper, zinc, gold and silver ores,
and even coal To its physical proper
ties-its relations to hcat-we owe all the
phenomena of clouds, dew, rain fog,
snow and frost. 1t supports the plants,
brings them their mineral food from the
soil, and protects them from excessive
heat. Animals are equally dependent
upon it. Yet after ALL it is only the agent
of the sun; it is sun power that makes
plants grow; it is sun power that moves
everything in the world, and water is
merely the suns agent. The loss of water
| would produce the same condition of
things on earth that we notice now in the
moon. Although we have such vast
| quantity of water yet it is only ,240, OO0th
| part of the earth, or O.O042 per cent.
| The crystalline rocks at the earth's sur
face now contain a larger quantity of
| water than this, and the moment our
| earth cools enough to absorb four-thou-
| sandths of one per cent of moisture, the
| ocean will disappear. If we should lose
| our atmosphere also, the openings or
| pores In the rocks will receive it by grav-
| itation.-Boston Journak Of CHEMISTRY.

ner This lady's own husband was, as
happened to know, of a most generous
disposition, was devotedly attached to her,
and denied her nothing. She herself was
a most accurate and careful manager.
There was everything in the household to
make the financial arrangements flow
smoothly. Yet she said to me, 81 sup
pose no man can possibly understand how
a sensitive woman shrinks from asking
for money. If can prevent it, my daugh-
tiers shall never have to ask it. If they do
their duty as wives and mothers they have
a right to their share of the joint income,
within reasonable limits; for, certainly,
no money could buy the services they
render. Moreover they have right to a
share in determining what those reason
able limits are"
Now it so happened that 1 had myself
gone through an experience which ena-
ing. In early life l was for time in the
employ of kind friend who paid me a
fair salary, but at no definite periods;
was at liberty to ask him for money when
ever l needed it. This seemed to me, in
advance, a most agreeable arrangement
but found it quite otherwise. 1t proved
to be very disagreeable to ask for money
it made every dollar seem a special favor
it brought up all kinds of misgivings, as
to whether he could spare it without in
convenience, whether he really thought
my services worth it, and so on NY en-
ployer was thoroughly upright and no.

l do not know that he ever refused or de-
INJURED when Iasked him for money The
annoyance was simply in the process of
asking, and this became so great that l
often underwent serious inconvenience
rather than ask. Finally, at the years
end, l surprised my friend very much by
saying that would accept, if necessary,
lower salary, on condition that it should
be paid on regular days, and as matter
of business. The wish was at once grant
ed, without the reduction; and my en-
ployer probably never knew what relief
it was to me-. W. Higginson, in the
W0man's Journal.

The CampIOr Tree.

IT Is something more than wonder
that tree in itself SO valuable, in its pro-
auctions so absolute, and so entirely sus-
ceptible of successful cultivation in the
United States, should so long be totally
neglected by our agriculturists. As the
camphor tree is quite as hardy as any of
our apple trees there is, perhaps, no good
reason why it should net succeed well
wherever the apple trees grow. 1t is in
digenous to all parts of China, Japan,
Formosa, Burmah, Chinese Tartary, and
flourishes even as far north as the Amoor
country; but it is found in the greatest
abundance along the Eastern coast of
China, between Annoy and Shanghai. In
the district of Kwang Tung and Funchein
it grows in dense forests, the trunks at
tanning size equaling that of any of our
North American forest trees. The princi-
pal market for camphor lumber is Annoy,
where some boards are thirty inches in
width. The camphor gum of commerce
does not in any case exude from the tree,
as has been so generally supposed, but il
is obtained from the leaves, twIgs and
smaller roots, by distilation. - Western

THE attention of our many readers is called
to the attractive advertisement of j. n. Harris
II Co., advertising their great and valuable
ung remedy, 'Allcn's Lung Basam.' This
Balsam has been before the public for ten
years. Notwithstanding this long period, it
has never lost one whit of its popularity, or
shown the least sign of becoming unpopular,
but, on the contrary, the call for it has been
constantly increasing, and at no previous time
has the demand been great, or the quantity
made been large, as at this day. We earn
estly recommend its trial by any one who may
be afflicted with cough or cold, and We war
| rant it to cure if directions are followed. 1t
is sold by all our city druggists.

ONE of the very best wives and mothers
l have ever known once said to me, that,
whenever her daughters should be mar
ried, she should stipulate in their behalf
with their husbands for "a regular sum of
money to be paid them, at certain inter
walls, for their personal expenditures
Whether this sum was to be larger or
smaller was a matter of secondary import
ance-that must depend on the income
and the style of living-but the essential
thing was that it should come To the wife
regularly, so that she should no more have
to make special request for it than her
husband would have 10 ask her for din.
