" housekeepers ruin their silver by
washing it in soap suds, as 1t makes 1t
look like pewter"
When color on fabric has been ac-
cidentally or otherwise destroyed by
acid, ammonia is applied to neutralize
the same, after which an application of
chloroform will in almost all cases re-
store the original color. The applica-
ton of ammonia is common, but that OF
chloroform is but little known. Chlo-
reform will also remove paint from
garment or elsewhere, when benzole or
bisulphide of carbon fails.
1t is said that solution of two-thirds
of a pound of CASTLE soap to a gallon of
water laid Oh damp wall as wash,
and next day followed by another wash
of alum water-two ounces Dissolved In
a gallon-will cure the inconvenience
and prevent any further recurrence of
it. 1t is so simple thing that house
keepers troubled with damp places in
their dwellings will be glad to try it for
themselves. This answer to a question
sent several months since to this col
umn will, we trust, prove satisfactory.
ONLY those afflicted with chapped
hands can appreciate the suffering of
many hard workers during the winter
months. We give a recipe that may be
relied on as cure for the malady: One
ounce each of spermaceti, white bees
wax, gum camphor, and two ounces
of almond oil. Put in tin cup, place
in vessel of boiling water, aud melt
together. Every time the hands are
wet rub little of this over them. Lin
seed oil and common beeswax will an
swer the purpose, but ointment is not
so nice as the above.

The influence of the temperance move
ment has penetrated the Constitutional
Convention, soon to. close its labors in
Cincinnati Hon. Lewis D. Campbell in
troduced the following separate PROPOSE
tions to be submitted to the people for ap-
proval or rejection:
FIRST. Intoxicating liquors shall neith-
er be manufactured or sold in this Stale
Second intoxicating liquors may only
be manufactured or sold in the State in
quantities not less than one gallon on Ii
cense granted in such manner and on such
conditions AS the General Ass mbly may
provide by law.
Third. Intoxicating liquors may be
sold in the State in quantities less than
| one gallon on license granted IN such
manner and on such conditions as the
General Assembly may provide by law.
The proposition receiving the greatest
aggregate vote is 10 be part of the Cor.
slitution. Should all three propositions
receive majority ofthose voting upon it,
then the one receiving the greatest number
of approving votes is to be an article OF
the Constitution. This brings the ques-
ton in all its aspects directly before the
people The idea of prohibiting the man.
ufacture in the second or third producing
Stale of the Union, is a bold proposition.
What the action of the Convention will he
remains TO be seen.

NAMING CHILDREN AFTER LIVING
MEN.-Senator Sumner wrote to a
friend in New York who notified
him that a little new conner had
been named after him:
My DEAR-Dom't make a mis-
take. Never name a child after a
living man, This is the counsel l
give, always, and most sincerelv.-
Who knows that may not fallP 1
too, may grow faint or turn aside TO
false Gods. I hope not. But this
is one of the mysteries of the future.
Therefore name your boy some good
Christian pame-it may be Charles
if you viii, for that is general, but
do not compel him TO bear all of his
days a label which he may dislike
/ once met strong anti-siaFery
youth who bore the name of Martin
Van Buren. He was born while
New York sat in the Presidential
chair, and his father named hin
after the chief of the land. But the
youth did not find the sentiments
of the late Mr.. Y. B. such as hc
wished to be associated with.
Ever Yours, CHARLES SUMNER.

Since the funeral of President
Lincoln, Washington has witnessed
no.such grand scene as the obsequies
of Senator Sumner, on Friday. The
Supreme Court members of the Cab
met, the members of Congress, and
the Chiefs of the Departments of
Government, the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of foreign Governments,
and $4,000 of the people among
them many hundred of the race to
whom much of the Senator's life
had been given, brought him their
homage. The proceedings, by
special request, were confined to the
simplest burial service, at the con-
clusiou of which the remains were
placed on board the train to be taken
to Boston. They rested at night at
the Fifth Auenue Hotel, in New
York and reached the Boston State
house on Sunday.

The first effort of Do LEWIS to
inaugurate his Western crusade in
the East has failed. After a vigor-
GUS attack at orcester, Mass, which
has been debated, discussed, support
ed, and sneered at, as the feelings or
interests of individuals directed, the
attempt has been totally abandoned
there, and, according to a correspon-
dent, its failure in that city virtually
kills the movement in New England
and the great reformer will be oblig-
ed to follow the advice of the late
Mr.. GREELEY, and ego West" 1t
does not seem probable that any at
tempt will be made to introduce the
crusade into Boston, as the people
there are thoroughly aroused to a
sense of failure in Worcester, where

PRINCE BISMARCK is on the sick list
and his illness is serious enough to alarm
his physicians Although only 60 years
of age, too much hard work, and, ifrrcent
stories may be believed, rather imprudent
habits of living, have seriously impaired
his health. SIX years ago, Just after he
had successfully organized the North
German Confederation, he was compel
led by ill-health TO retire from public du-
ties, and, since there has been more than
one rumor ola collapse OF his powers,
Probably more than that Of any other

Saloon keepers who have been
and are still annoyed by the bands
of crusaders, at first began to take
courage that some nineompoop of
Judge had issued an injunction
against these assemblages as nuisan-
ces. That injunction having come
to grief, that source of relief has
failed, and the saloonists are now
referred to their own position as set
forth in the following provisions of
the law upon this subject:
Be it enacted by the General As
senaW ofthe State Of Ohio. That
it shall be unlawful for any person
or persons, by agents or otherwise,
to sell in any quantity, Intoxicating
liquors, to be drank in upon or about
the building or premises where sold;
or to sell such intoxicating liquors
to be drank in any adjoining room
or premises, or other places of public
resort connected with said build
ing.
Sec. 4. That all places where in
toxicating liquors are sold in viola
ton of this act shall be taken, held,
and declared to be common nuisan-
ces.
Bv law the whisky shop is thus
made ga common nuisance" and
10 man can invoke the aid of the
law to help him when he himself is
engaged in violation of that law.
The law will scarcely assist the man
whose own hands are unclean. Let
those talk not about 'nuisances"
who have created in their own places
of business a common nuisance.

ACTION OF THE CLEVELAND PRES
BYTERY.-This body assembled at
Cleveland on the 10th and continued
in session through the 18th. Its
sentiments were reported by COM
mittee, II. c. Haydn, of the First
Church, being chairman, and we
cheerfully reprint them, as an en-
couragement to all those whose
knees tremble, and whose back
bones are weak in the endorsement
and support Of this great and mar
velous movement of the day. The
report closes as follows:
When throughout this whole
commonwealth, as also throughout
the land, the minds of the people
are turned to the traffic in ardent
spirit, and the evils growing out of
it and the drinking habits of the
country, do hereby testify their
appreciation of this marvellous move
ment: and express the conviction
that this unwonted uprising of the
people. as well as this model method
of warfare, is one inspired of the
spirit of God. In its conception
and outgrowth, in the spirit of its
working and the moral effect upon
those engaged in it, in the efectual
depletion of the traffic in ardent
spirits, the shutting up of hundreds
of dram-shops and the signal con-
version of the worst of men, we see
only too clearly the hand of God
and the power of the Divine Spirit.
And we are therefore led, not on
Iy to thank God for it, but to pray
that it may extend and deepen till
this formidable barrier in the way
of Mesiah's kingdom it utterly cast
down. We are also deeply i'm
pressed with the solemnity of this
hour and crisis, and laying upon ev-
cry disciple of Christ and every low
er of humanity, grave responsible
ity for sympathy and cooperation,
that our sisters at the front may
feel themselves not only upheld by
the invisible but gracious spirit of
God, but sustained by the moral
support, the outspoken approval,
the vouchsafed aid and hearty
prayers of the wisest and best of
their fellow-citizens, as we'll as the
God-speed of the suffering and en-
slaved.
AS Office bearers in the church of
God we pledge ourselves to this
work with heart and soul, and
might, hoping for the largest results
to follow from prayer and concerted
effort.
We also express our conviction
that, for the present at least, any
ENHANCEMENT with politics is not
only undesirable, but will be likely
to be harmful to the cause we have
at heart.

Gen. Sherman puts no restraint on the
expression of his contempt for the forts
which furnish the principal argument
against the reduction of the army. We
have got the forts therefore we must
keep the troops to take care of the forts
and preserve the property that is in them
Gen. Sherman thus spits Oh these insti-
tutions "Some of what are called militia
ry posts are mere collections of huts made
oflogs, adobes ormere holes in the ground
and are about as much forts as prairie
dog villages might be called forts"
