Cleaning Wall Paper.

Take piece of wood the shape of a
scrubbing brush, nail handle on the back,
then upon the face nail piece of dried
sheepskin, with the wool upon it; or flax
or tow will do, or cotton flannel of several
thicknesses will answer very well. Dip
this prush into dry whiting, and rub the
smoke lightly with the brush, on the upper
parts of the room first, protecting the car
pets with mating or newspapers, as the
whiting is hard to sweep off the carpet.
The whiting that remains on the wall is
easily brushed off with soft cloth attach
ed to stick. 1t is very eflectual if the
room is not damp and the whiting is dry.

Aunt NIarK,s Brown Bread.

Many of the directions for making brown
bread require useless labor in stirring the
rye into the scalded meal, steaming, ETC.,
and the product is no better than by tho
following process, which makes the bread

Flies on Horses.

The Journal Of Chsmfstry gives the fol-
lowing simple recipe for the prevention of
flies on horses Take two or three handfuls
of walnut leaves upon which pour two or
three quarts of cold water; let it infuse one
night, and next morning pour the whole in-
to kettle and let it boil for a quarter Of an
hour. When cold it will bo fit for use.
No more is required than to moisten a
sponge, and before the horse goes out Of
the stable, let those parts which are most
irritable be smeared over with the liquid,
namely Between and upon the ears the
neck, the flanks, &c.

TEEOMPSON'S
Fever Dc Ag1Ge POICdeTS
FOR THE
PERMANENT CURE OF CHILLs AND FE-
YER, DUMB AGUE, OR ANY FORM
OF INTERMITTENT FEVER
The Greatest Discovery of the Age

VNHERE are no diseases so debiltating in
Il their effects upon the constitution as the
above, and none more difficult to cure by the
usual modes of practice. The Fever and Ague
Powders will effect cure in cases of the long
est standing, as well as prove preventive in
the forming stages of disease. Being purely
Vegetable, they act with certainty on the dis
ease, totally eradlcatlng it from the system,
and preventing return at any future period.
Why waste your money and health in trying
every medicine you hear of, when Thompson's
Fever and Ague Powders have never failed to
cure the Chills in any case.
REASONS WHY THEY ONLY SHOULD BE
USED:
Their Reputation is Established. = Thousands
of testimonials have been received, showing
that these Powders have performed miracles in
curing cases of long standing, many of them
considered hopeless.
There Is no Risk in Taking Them. - They
contain nothing injurious, and, therefore cause
none of those lingering diseases so often the re-
suit of the many nostrums of the day. Physl-
clans recommend them as far superior to Qui-
nine, or any other known remedy, for they leave
the system in a healthy state, and the patient
beyond the probability Of a relapse.
BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITs. - The
genuine are put up in square tin boxes, with
"Thompson's Fever and Ague Powders"
stamped on the lid, and the signature of
"Thompson & Crawford, " on the wrapper

Very Bad Firing.

War has broken out again in Louisiana, and
it is in order for the President to take our
friend Joe Forrest at his word and order him
to New Orleans to suppress the rebellion
The opposing forces which he will have to
overcome are Gov. Kellogg and Maj. E. A..
Burke, of the Democratic Naturalization Com
mittee. He can make short work of the cam.
paign. as neither of them shoot worth cent
Gov. Kellogg himself has stated the facts, SO
there can be no mistake. The Governor, be-
ing out riding in hack, was accosted by the
Major, whereupon he opened the carriage
door and reached out his hand. The Major,
instead Of shaking hands with him, used
the Governors hand to draw him partly
out of the hack, and then commenced warm
ing the Governor with rawhide. The driver
whipped up his horses, which interrupted the
episode. The heroic Kellogg, resolving to sell
his life as extensively as possible, commenced
firing out of the rear window of the hack,
ostensibly at the Major, but in reality at moth
ing in particular. The gallant Burke, not to
be outdone in chivalry, returned the compi-
ment by firing five or six shots ostensibly at
Kellogg or his hack, but in reality at nothing
in particular. Both lives were spared, and
both the Major and the Governor still exist to
renew the war, unless our Friend Forrest puts
down the rebellion. The reflection that most
people will draw from the affair is that it was
very bad firing. Shooting six or eight charges
in an open street, and hitting neither the party
aimed at nor anybody else, is a disgrace to

Fashion Indecencies.

present rather curious effect with all their
dresses tied so tightly back, and the trains Of
their skirts hanging over their arms. From
the front Especially when the dresses are light
cOlored) the shapes are most plainly seen
too plainly, sometimes, when the figure is over

It is impossible now, also, for ladies to con-
ceal either their projections or imperfections;
and young mothers-to-be loudly complain of
Madame la Modes tyranny in this respect
Madame la Moie? they say. Nay, she
could never have been q respectable married

reason for this non-Observance OF fashion for

There are certain peculiar occurrences
which could only happen in certain corners OF
the universe and perhaps Massachusetts, may
claim as many of these peculiarities as any
other corner. In Springfield the other night
at prayer-meeting an old deacon was offend
ed by fashionable bonnet and feather which
doomed up before him. He could not get an
unobstructed view all around the church to
see how the congregation were behaving, and
fretted SO much that he found it vain to fix his
mind upon eternal things. On the contrary
he became filled with rage Of the earth, and
ordered the female form that propped up the
offending bonnet to leave the church. She
declined to leave her own pew and the irrita-
ted deacon had her forthwith put out, because,
as he stated, the bonnet was in the way of his
seeing the minister. After the bonnet was
removed, worship went on lovely. That lady
ought to have good strong male relative who
wears No. 9 boot.

The party that is now expressing the peo-
pie of Louisiana and defrauding thousands Of
foreign-born citizens out of their naturaliza-
ton, Is identical in principal and kinship with
the party that is attempting to seize upon the
Government Of Missouri. SO great is its OPP
preston that the Germans Of New Orleans
cry out to their fellow-citizens Of the North
and West for assistance and sympathy. Will
the Germans Of St Louis, while pronouncing
their protests against these outrages, endan-
ger their own prerogatives and liberties As
citizens, by voting for men who need but the

Marshal MacMahon-His Home Life.

The Paris correspondent of the London
Daily Nens, writing of McMahon's home life,
says:
"The Marshal contrivesto be out shooting,
if possible, when bores arrive, and if any of
them should wish to run him to earth among
the COLA or beet-root fields they would have
to run long and fast, for the hero Of Magenta
is one of those men who can set out with his
gun at and be still potting away indefatig-
ably at S, many hours after his two retrievers,
his Abide Camp and the Marquis Amelot, his
neighbor and best sporting friend, have had
enough of it. He is a taciturn sportsman
and an excellent shot. Bred to the tricks of
cartridges from his earliest youth, he aims
stolidly and knocks them over, or if, perchance,
he misses once in a day, his chagrin finds
welt in one of those round explosives which
come very venially from an old soldier. For
it must be remembered that the Marshal is
emphatically an old soldier, and nothing but
that-no politician, diplomatist, or mincer of
words He hates politics with a rueful sort of
horror, which he confesses in his smileless
way to all who talk with him; and though
his friends have succeeded in persuadiDg
him that he has saving mission to discharge.
yet his Presidentship constrains him to varie-
ties of pomp which are most repugnant to
his nature. He has never consented to be
trammeled in private by the etiquette of q
court In Paris he goes periodically on foot
to have his hair clipped into bristles in the
Rue Vivienne, and afterward he likes to slip
off and breakfast in a private room at Du-
rand's or the Cafe d'Orsay He is a great
stickler for uniform-not quite to the point
of utterly eschewing civilians dress, like
the late Marshal Castellane-but dons mill
tary undress in study, puts on his kept to go
shooting, and Of yore he used to make his old
regimental overcoats do duty as dressing
gowns, until, two years ago, when he was
stricken with rheumatics, the Duchess pressed
on his acceptance q genuine dressing gown,
furred and lined with silk, which gorgeous
vestment, however, he wore with sorrow and
conjunction, as tending to effeminacy.
It is altogether likely that Cleveland is re-
motely responsible for the recent destructive
gunpowder explosion in London. The inves-
tigation showed that the canal-boat carried
kegs Of powder and barrels of benzoline that
both kegs and barrels leaked that the escap-
ing vapor of benzoline travelled along under
the canvas canopy to the stove in the cabin.
and the resulting fash travelled back to the
benzoline barrels, which exploded and set fire
to the gunpowder and, lastly. that the ben

Lord Harrington, a young Englshman, who
has recently been making a tour in this
country with his uncle, the Hon. Dudley
Fortescue, delivered lecture descriptive OF
his travels in the United States, at Barnstaple,
England, a few days ago. Much interest was
felt in the lecture, as the young man is looked
upon as the future candidate Of the Conserva-
tives for the representation of the borough in
Parliament. Lord Burlington said that when
in Washington lie and his uncle were intro
duced to the President on Sunday evening.
They found him in . large, dimly-lighted
room with q few friends, where, after a sort
Of unofficial reception, they talked with Grant
for q fes minutes. Lord Ebrington said he
did not think Grant sociable man, and he
was not prepossessed with his appearance.
He was taciturn, and, on the whole, not
an agreeable parsonage. Hardly anybody had
good word to say for him, except when, as
in the case of the veto upon the imitation OF
the currency, he made some Unexpected stroke
Of policy.
