Home-Made Feather busters

Soon there will be mighty raid upon
the poultry houses, and hundreds OF
! chickens will have their heads laid
low in the dust, while their feathers
will be pulled of, baked in a cool oven,
| anu put away for future use. Now lei
me tell you that exceedingly pretty
dusting-bruSheS can be very easily
made of them, which will be very use
ful for dusting furniture, wall corners.
cornices, ETC., while they are always
handy to use about Il fireplace or stove.
Pick out the prettiest feathers, and
those of nearly size, and run needle,
attached to strong twine, through the
stem at the end of the feathered part /;
then pound the quiils flnt with ham,
mer, SO that they Will lie close 10 the
handle, which can te.made out of an old
brOoin-stick whitfield down and then
painted; or you Can use the handle of
worn-Out fand-i'rushes, or the like.
Cover one end of the handle with thick,
warm Glue. AMI wind the feathers,
closely strung together around the stick
commencing at the point of it. Have a
glue-pot close at hand, and as you wind
the feathers, vet them thoroughly with
glue, sc they will stick tightly to the
handle and to each other. When the
brush is large as you desire, cut off the
twine, and wind another piece tightly
over the quills, gluing it down. Fhen
take piece of scarlet, green, or blue
enameled cloth, and cut one edge ia
points, round up the sides, and sew to-
gether so as TO form cap that will go
over the handle of the brush, and cover
the quills of the feathers. Make hole
with gimblet through the handle, and
put in a string to hang up the duster,
and you will be fully paid for the work
in the convenience of the article. and
its tasteful appearance will also prove
an attraction. If there are any old
wOrnout window-brush handles lying
around in the wood shed or barn, you
can turn them into use. Cut out all the
bFistles which remain, so as to leave
the holes empty; and then fill up their
places with bunehes of feathers run on
twine, and made just large enough to
fit in; cut off the quill ends, and cover
the lower part of the feathers with glue,
also dropping some into the holes, and
secure the lunches firmly into them.
You can use smaller feathers for this
kind of brush than for feather busters
and when it is. finished you will never
desire another brush made of bristles.
The downy, pure white feather can be
sewed upon a piece of cape lace, stiffen-
ed on the edge with wire, and made in
to very elegant and tasteful feathers for
young ladies' hats. The feathers taken
from the crest of white turkeys back
are particularly pretty for this purpose.

DAILY and WEEKLY.

The claims of the Commercial upon
the reading public for support are bas-
ed upon its past record as a progressive
journal. Treating all topics and ques-
tions fearlessly and honestly, it will not
be content to pursue the beaten path,
but will endeavor to mark out new and
improved ways in journalism. The
Press is destined to play still more
important part in the education of the
people, and as the reflector of advanced
public sentiment. Always in the van
heretofore, it will not now be content
to lag in the rear, but will be fully
abreast of the times in everything that
relates to the general welfare. AS

The Commercial will continue to dis
cuss men and measures with perfect
freedom and impartiality, always with
an eye to the advancement of right and
the public veal, believing that the prin-
ciples of the great Republican Party
will be thus best served. Believing that

stitutions be preserved, the Commercial
will, when it may seem necessary, crit
icise its own party for its own good.

THE OUTLOOK IN THE 9TH

At present the outlook seems TO
present some doubt of the nomina-
ton by the Convention for Congress,
of any of the aspirants most promi-
nent before it. It is doubtful if
either can get it with majority
vote and if the two-thirds rule is
adopted it is not at all probable.
This naturally suggests a survey
of the outside field for the "coming
man." Col. Dabney would proba-
bly,, in the event Indicated, receive
the nomination but for the objection
Of non-residence. But, good men,
able men, are not lacking, should
the contesting delegates fail to har-
monte upon one of their favorites,
As representative Of the people,
wide-awake to all their INTEREST,",
able and ready to advocate and de-
fend them, Col. Gro. n. LESTER il
the peer of any man in the district
or the State.

agement Of the JOURNAL, We are

your columns to discuss some mat
tiers of vital concern to us "hewers
Of wood and drawers of water"
1t is on everybody's tongue that
our taxes are heavy burden, aud
in everybOdy's mind, or ought to be,
that they will continue so as long as
they are patiently endured. The
loaves aud the fishes will never be

1t is equally true that reform must
first begin with and amongst the
people themselves.
AS in building q house, we do not
commence at the roof aud come
downward, but at the base and 60
upward. So in politics, the work OF
correcting abuses must first begin at
the bottom-with the source of pow
er. The superstracture, to be worth
anything, must be reared upon a
solid foundation, and then through
all its gradations of place and power
as you go upward it will stand steady
and true.
Until we can enforce retrenchment
at home amongst and between our
selves, it will be utterly futile for us
to clamor for it in higher places. If
the local politicians aud Office hold
ers at home are able to manipulate
us at will, those in power higher up
