A New DEPARTURE.-Th Territorial
Enterprise has returned to its first love
gone back to the Republican ranks
There is another and not quite so ele-
giant way OF expressing the same fact.
The Enterprise, after espousing the Re-
publican cause during so many years,
saw last Fall that the party was corrupt,
and straightway bid welcome with open
arms to the Indep movement.
the party which had to be remedied in
some way. 1t WAS no easy task to ac-
complish. but it was undertaken, and
success has been the result. The old
time proprietor, j. 7. Goodman, sold
out; a joint stock company was formed,
with capital representing twice the
sum the material and good will of the
paper is worth, and, under the auspices
of the Enterprise Publishing Com
pany," the recent advocate of the Gran.
ger movement became full-hedged
Republican paper, Tin earnest sympathy
with the great underlying principles of
the party, but prompt in its censure of
abuse within it, and in favor of such re-
forms as may conduce to its purity and
the general good" The Enterprise has
taken rank as among the best newspapers
on the coast, and we are sure it will
maintain that proud position, notwith-
standing it has undertaken the stupen-
dous work of censuring abuses in the Re-
publican ranks. In both these respects
we wish it success.

FIRST INVENTION OF GLASS Pliny
says that glass was first invented at the
mouth of the River Belus. The discov-
cry happened in this manner: A party OF
sailors, who had occasion to visit the
shore in that neighborhood; proppsd up
with sand and pieces of nitre the kettle
in which they cooked their provisions.
To their amazement, they found that the
mixture Of these substances fused. and
that when it cooled it was hard. brittle
and transparent. Thus was discovered
a new substance, which so much con.
tributed to the comforts Of life and the
progress of science. The sand of the
Belus continued to supply the Sidonians
and Others with materials for the manu-
facture of glass. Even so late as the
seventeenth century the Venetians and
Genoese imported it for that purpose.

DrsC0LORED YELLOW PINE.-Spot
ting or staining of pine sheeting, lis
owing TO the boards being laid too
close upon one another during the
warm season o. of the year. Expert
ence proves that in the storing of wood
little care need be taken in the winter,
season when nature is at rest but as
spring comes and vegetation-iu the
words of of Thomas Hood-puts on
"its furniture of green" she greatest
care is needed. Wood which. though
dead to all appearance, is ttill alive
to vegetation 10 its lowest form in
warmth and moisture, will cause q
fallen tree to sprout sprigs OF leaves
from its bark. and, failing this, fungi
will most certainly gerhinate. Wood
denuded of its bark takes the latter
form, hence discoloration OF sapwood,
spotting, staining, and dry-rot; in
these cases it is literally forming food
for other forms of vegetation, aud, If
not arrested by intercourse with dry
air, will zap its veriest vitals and
"leave but wreck behind" In the
case in point, the spread Of the fppgi
would cease upon the boards oeing
removed from contact with each
other bat the damage wrought is moi
easily effaced. II the roofs have not
struck too deep into the wood, the
discoloration may be removed by
retacirg the boards, but. il other
wise, it may safely be taken there IL
no possible remedy.-Cor. ofBuildiug

Wet BooTs.-The Agriculturist
gives the following advice to farmers
who, next to fishermen. are apt to get
their boots wet through:
"When the boots are taken of, 6ll
them quite full with dry oats. This
grain has great fondness fer damp,
will rapidly absorb the last vestige Of
it from the wet leather. As il takes
up the moisture it swells and ellis the
boot with tightly fitting last, keep
ing its form good, and drying the
leather without hardening 1t.
4In the morning. shake out the oats
and hang them 10 bsg near the Gre
to dry, ready for the next wet night,
draw on the boots, and 60 happily
about the next days work."
