A tablespoonful of ammonia in one
gallon of warm water will often re-
store the color of carpets even if dis
solved by acid or aikali. If ceiling
has been whitewashed with the carpet
down, and few drops should fall this
will remove it. Or, after the carpet
is well beaten and brushed, scour with
oxgall, which will not onl, extract
grease, but freshen the colors One
pint of gall in three gallons OF warm
water will do for a carpet. Table and
floor cloths may be washed. The
suds left from wash when ammonia
is used, even if almost cold, cleanses
these new floor cloths well.

The Result in Maine.

Having been beaten in Maine, the Demo-
cratic journals are extracting comfort
from the fact that they are not annihilated.
The Republicans elect their Governor, all
the State officers. both branches of the
Legislature and their Congressional nomi-
ice to fill the vacancy in the Fourth Dis
trict. As this schedule covers the whole
ground and leaves the Democracy no foot
hold in any department of the Govern
ment. it would be cruel to deprive Il EN- OF
their only crumb of comfort. viz: that the
majority against them ia this contest, when
they made fight. is not so great as here
tofore when they allowed the result to be
reached without a contest. A Republican
majority of five thousand now is suaran-
tee of twice five thousand in the Presiden-
till battle. Her granite lodges are as like
ly to fly from their deep foundations as are
the people of Maine to turn their backs
upon Republican principles Albany

The Lecture Season,-Henry Ward Beech.
Courses, - Theodore IIiton.
The Lecture business promises nearly as
good results as in In former years. despite
the hard times. A few Of the country
courses have been abandoned, but the ri
val managers In this city have made their
announcements, and, judging from their
lists, have expended more money than IN
former years. Probably no man before the
public with the exception of John b.
Cough. will speak SO many times this sea-
son as Schuyler COlfax: be has not been
able to accept two thirds of the applica-
tons that he has received.
Carl Schurz will devote his whole time
to lecturiDg. and ranks next to Colfax in
point Of popularity. Many lady lecturers
have endesvored to establish reputation,
but having ceased TO be novelty, they are
obliged like the sterner sex, to stand or
fall according to their merits. Mrs. Liv-
ermOre and Lillian Edgarton. are the only
ladies' on the rostrum of lecturers at the
present time, who earn good living by
their talents. To be- sure, Mrs. Young, the
nineteenth wife Of Brigham. has large
number Of engagements, but she secures
them becauses she is 4 curiosity rather
than a talented woman.
Henry Ward Beecher will not speak In
Boston on any course, but will probably
be advertised later in the season indeperd-
emily. The reasons he assigns for not max
ing positive engagement At present is,
that the pending suit in New York. will
probsbly occupy large portion of his time
aad that he shall not lecture y oil, except
In the interest OF the christian Un,on."

1t will thus be seen that the aggregate
vote is about IL 600 larger than last year.
the republican vote having increased near
y $500. and the democratic nearly H.
500. The vote is the largest ever cast In
this State in non-presldential year, with
the possible exception Of 1866, although
not so large BY 10000 as in 1879, when the
republicans had $3.50 majority. Neither
does Roberts have so large q vote BY two
thousand as kimball had in "a, while Con-
nor's vote falls 1000 below that of Per-
ham in tie same year. As the gubernato-
rial election in 1872 brought out nearly ev-
cry voter. and few republicans last week
voted democratic, it is evident that in the
late election not more than 2.000 demo-
erats failed to vote, while more than II 900
republicans remained at home.
