The Chicago ibane says the tenor and drift
81 ex- Senator Yates Fourth OF July Grafton at
Griggsville, Illinois, wa. that although he may
have had the "jim-jsms," he never had the
"grabs," like the Credit Mobilier statesmen.
When last In Washington, he said, these parties
looked down upon him IN contempt, or if they
took any notice Of him 1t was to make an osten-
tatious display Of their Christian zeal for his
reformation. The Tribune remarks that it was
rather severe upon his old official associates for
him TO call attention to the fact that, while
perhaps their hands did not shake, they were
not 80 clean as his own.

The New York papers generally commend
the board of health for its action in demolish-
ing the filthy, rickety Washington market in
that city, on the ground that the public health
demanded its abatement as a nuisance. The
parketmen have brought large numbers Of suits
against the board for damages, and the Erening
Post very justly says that the rights of an indi-
vidual cannot stand against the rights of the
community. since the rights of the latter ex-
f-tsd from the beginning. and, however long
they may be held in e. egance, cannot be de-
stroyed.

A proposed new motive power for street cars
Is suggested, in the way Of a water tank holding
about three hundred gallons of water. The
latter is heated at the beginning of each trip
by connecting it with stationary steam
boiler, sufficiently to enable the car to travel
nine miles. The driver has only to turn a
faucet to stop the car, and to start he simply
opens it. The Philadelphia Age comments it
as a good invention

We have received communication on this
subject, which may be found valuable, as it
gives minute instructions upon the manner in
which persons should act in transact ing business
at clearinghouse. Tho writer says:
On requesting loans from bank, il declined
demand full explanation why and wherefore,
stating that after having all your business done
for years (buying all your stamps and gettlnB all
your bills changed) at that bank, yeu feel 1t a
severe blow to be refused small favor. Ii
still refused, call hourly and ask, AZ though you
had never spoken on the subject before. Ii this
does not avail, bring your dinner to the presl-
dents room and remain there all day. Faint
heart never WINS and II you fail at this point you
lack grit.
When your notes come due, and payment is
requested, ask why they cant wait, and what
they intend to do with the money when they get
it. II they still persist, inquire II the bank ls
hard up that they should be in such want Of
money. Never pay protest fees, but saylyou
forgot when this note was matured, and that you
never pay protest feos any how-you would be
id first
When you present to the bank a draft, pay
able to your order, never fail to exhibit profound
surprise and fierce indignation that you should
be required to be identified as the proper person
to receive the money. II the teller persists IN
this eccentric request, affirm boldly how long
you have lived at No. 37l9 Brown street. and
how Timothy Snodgrass has known you all his
life. Stand up for your rights like man, and
4ever say fall.
In banking money, spread yourself before the
bank counter and count your shinplasters bot
tom-side up, one by one, showing them to the
teller in sundry parcels. Entertain him mean
while by general report of your private affairs.
In this manner you not only astonish the bank
officials with the display of your money, but by
exercising the patience of such nervous custo-
| mers as may be waiting for their turn, you ac-
| complish public good.
II you wish to get change from bank where
| you keep no account, march in as though you
we're Secretary Boutwell, after bank report,
| slap your greenback on the counter, cast with
/ ering glance at the teller, and say nothing. 1t
/ will be seen that you demand tives which you
receive. Hand those back aud ask for ones and
| twos, and when you get them, ask for change
| 30 that you CAN get seventy-nine cents, and re-
/ turn the bill with one corner torn on. When
/ you go out slam the door or leave it open, ant
always whistle. If, on your way from the bank
| your hat blows of, and You lose part of YOU
change. return and demand that the bank rocti
fy the mistake i'll counting. II ademur is made,
| swear to the truth OF your statement and i'm

contemporary. it is made into delicious breakfast
cakes, cracknel, (very palatable,) cocoanut

informed by the same authority that in its raw
state when it is mixed up with water, it is be-
coming favorite dish. The brose of "Aud

and muscle-fOrmtng commodity-by the hunters
and trappers of the West, who are substituting
oatmeal iu this form for parched aud Indiancorn.
The same brawny fellows-whoae powers OF en-
durance are proverbial, whose scorn of fatigue
ia known to all readers of travel and natural his-
tory--have found out that very acceptable
drink is made by putting abouttwo teaspoontuls
of oatmeal into tumbler of water. We have
often established the excellence of this ourselves.

whv American women are Delicate.

Another reason of the delicacy of our women
is the far greater style affected by all classes IN
Dress and the wearing of corsets during early
youth. Naturally, if one has attained full and
line phs.ical development, tight corsets, heavy
skirts, close fitting boots, and weighty chigons
cannot ipiure to the same extent as when these
appliances of fashion are put upon the soft and
yielding muscles OF young and growing girl.
The noble ladies' OF England exercise many
hours daily in the open air They do not dlsdaln
to don heavy calfskin shoes and colored petit.
coats, in which to perform this duty Ihis, OF
course, would uot alone make them as healthy
as they are, were it not that institutions are
strengthened bya proper physical education be-
fiees to retain them in good degree of health.
lDur fair Americans early in the day attire them
selves in charming morning costumes, with
white skirts, and then they are ayerse to soiling
these by exercise, and the least dampness deters
them from promenade. American ladies' think
| far more of dress and fashion and spend more
money and time on their toilet than any women
| in Europe, not even excepting the FRENCH from
whom all our fashions come.-Gdtdrg.

Miriam was weeping, but the tears were not
ali bitter She gave It's full need of gratitude
