81 -lp !. WASHING WAGONS. Most persons who
own and use, carriages or wagons doubt
less think they know how and when TO
work them, but q few hints from the Car
rage journal may not be out of place:
Washing wagons is too often looked up
on as an operation solely fer the purpose
of removing n coat of mud; this is one OF
the objects, and an important one, but the
wagon should be washed even when there
is no mud on it. During the summer the
yarnish looses its lustre and assumes n
dull dirty appearance, unless it is fire.
quently washed. When a wagon is badly
covered with dirt, it is best TO soak the
dirt loose by wetting it with a large
sponge, but not rubbing it. In cities,
where water can be forced through pipe.
the sponge need not be used until the bulk
of the dirt has run off, then use the spong,
commencing at the upper portion OF the
body, and do not wash over too mrch sur
lace at time, as the water should never
be allowed to dry on the body; after wash
a chamois skin, and wash and dry imme-
diately with the chamois. After the body
is washed, wash the. carriage part and
then the wheels; in washing the wheels
be careful to clean the dirt out from be-
tween the spokes, and wipe perfectly dry.
Immediately after using Il carriage in hot
weather the leather and trimmings should |
be busted off, and the paint well washed
and wiped as directed, using soft water il |
possible, but never using salt water, as
has been recommended by some who are
afraid that the supply of water will give |
out in many of our cities if it is used for
other than drinking purposes. Careful |
washings will tend to harden the varnish,
remove the particles of dust that would |
otherwise bed themselves in the paint, and
keep the carriage fresh and clean The |
leather top should also be wiped off, and |
if an oiled cloth be rubbed over immedi- |
ately after the leather has been dried with |
the chamois, it will do much toward pre-
serving the lustrc Of the leather. and pre-
venting il getting hard and shrinking. |
After washing, always rub The plated |
work with ID wooden cloth that h., little |
rotten-sione on it. Many doll IL in ex-
pense and much annoyance from having
a soiled crrriage may he saved ny thus

IT SHOULD DE NOTICED By EVERY ONE THAT
LEVY BROTHERS are the first to mark their goods
down when there has been decline in prices Any
reader of the New York Daily Bulletin. which re-
ports the prices Of merchandise in general, will find
that LEVY BROTHERS mark their prices down
whenever decline is noted In that reliable paper.
Purchasers of dry goods should notice this tnpor-
TINT fact when there has been decline In the
price of any article, that LEVY BROTHERS do not
wait to sell what they have on hand before reducing
their prices bu give their customers the benefit OF
the reduction at once. The consequence Is that
they sell their goods of rapidly. so that cus-
TONERS may depend on getting goods that
are not shop-worn. Another advantage offered
BY LEVY BROTHERS is that theirs is strictly
n one-price store. They never deviac In prices
they show no fayoriism. so thai thosc who arc not
judges can purchase equally as low as those whoarc
And yet another advantage which is that they show
the largest and lcsaSsortcd stock in the cy-all oi
which they purchased from first hands in large
quantities. which enables item. to retail goods III
wholesale prices. and in many instances even less.
In conclusion will state that rs these are panic
times, every one should economist and save what
they can, whether in purchasing something TO
eat or something TO wear; and LEVY BROTHERS
arc determined to make it 10 the advantage OF p'l-
chasers of dry goods to purchase OF them. .... ~:

RICHMOND. November II, 49,

RICHMOND, November IL, 1873.
1fessrs Editors, You will please permit
me to express hearty approval OF the sug'
ye>tions of Mayor Kelley in his commanica'
ton to the last Council, and to add the hope
that the committees to whom they have been
referred will give them their speedy, serious
and most favorable consideration.
There is no one who does not look for
ward to the coming winter with gravest ap.
prehensions. None can fully appreciate the
disasters that have already resulted from and
that arc to follow the late financial hurri
cane. Time will develop and publish them
But now there is felt throughout our land
deep distress, and each week will make il
more apparent, more widespread, and more
appalling. / utter only the thoughts OF
every thinking man. In our city we have
| and are to have our full share. .
Our manufactures have all reduced theil
force. and many of them have stopped. ]
cannot say how many fathers and brothers
have now been thrown out of employment
nor how many are yet to be dismissed. How
many wives and sisters and little ones are
now without means Of support, and how
MANY are to be added to the list, it is hare
| 10 say but that their number is very great
we all know. God only knows how they
are to be taken care of. Yet it does behoovt
us. as individuals and as city, to show the
honesty of our sympathy by prudence, by
timely wisdom.
The calamity that has befallen the country
is more terrible than any fire, or flood, OF
pestileuce that has befallen US {; therefore ii
must justify extraordinary measures OF re-
lief. If we gave $4,000 to Chicago We
must now do more for our own people.
For one, have hitherto opposed many
of the late expenditures of the city govern
ment, but now would favor liberal but
iudicious expenditure. Whatever work Cal
be done, whatever work is called for shortly
let it be now undertaken. Though III this
let attention be given to what is most neces'
sarv, and most important, and most'judiclouS:
Our workmen will gladly accept reduced
wages, because food and clothing will be re-
duced, and Il little money will go great
way. Thus in financial view the stel
will be justified. Wages and material being
reduced in price, the city may afford to sci
her bonds at lower figure than she Woulo
otherwise sell them. And it is matter Of
calculation whether present Judlclous, I'D
eral and practical charity may not turn on'
to be the wisest aud most profitable bnan
ciering that she has ever engaged H..

THE VIRGINIA OPERA-HoUSE is now crowd
| ed every night, and the entertainments are
received with every mark of favor.

"CATAwBAs PRESENTATIONS " At THE IHE'
ATRE.-The Theatre was crowded last night
with 4 brilliant audience assembled to hear
Mr.. j. P. Cowardiu's account of" Catawb ba's
Pcreorinations Around the World.' The
riends of the popular young humorlst and
lecturer seemed to make it the occasion OF q
cordial "wclcome home" and in return til
hero Of the hour gave all presment 4 mo
agreeable evening entertainment.
The lecture in que, III is more ambitious
than either OF Mr.. Cowardin'S previous ef-
orts, and we think it entitled to much higher
rank. After Il word Of introduction, in
which he pleasantly explains the "aOnle de
n,er" Catawba, the lecturer proceeds to
give in an oif.hand conversational manner
an accountof the sights and scenes Of his re-
cent tour around the world. This, Of course,
affords ample field for the exercise of his
descriptive powers, and, incidentally. op-
portunities for telling many humorous
story. The field is fully occupied, and the
opportunity happily embraced. ~.
While there was much that was lnstruc-
tive in the lecture, and much else that was
entertaining. the humorous portions were oil
course the most popular, and received the
most applause. The dialect limitations OF
the Frcnchman, the EEglishman, the Scotch
man. the German, and the negro were al!
excellent and Taught ar-prorokiDg without
being cariGtureS.
1t is the wish Of many that the entertain
ment may be repeated, and if Catawba cols
sents we shall doubtless have the PereSri-
nations with additional interesting waysldc
