follows: '"The Holy Father, in sending me
to present to the Archbishop of New York
the insignia of the Cardinalate, at the same
4 time instructed me not to fail, before leav-
ing the United States, to call upon your
Excellency, and to express to you his re-
CARDS aud best wishes for the great and IL
lustrous American nation, and for your
Excellency as its honored Chief. feel
greatly honored in fulfilling this commits
sion, and l rejoice that it gives me the
opportunity of knowing your Excellency
personally, and of presenting also my own
most respectful compliments"

Monsignor, that you will convey to the
Pope my thanks for his kind expressions
of regard and good wishes for my country
and for myself, and 1 am happy to recipro-
cate your own kind expressions for me-
The president invited the party to be
seated, and conversed pleasantly with
them for few moments about their intend
ed trip to the west. and the duration Of
their visit.
The party also called upon the secretary
of state, and all the other members OF
the cabinet. They were everywhere re-
ceived with the greatest attention. The
secretary of state expressed himself as
very much pleased with the visit of the
ALLOCATE, and spoke of the great satisfac-
ton which the objects of the Ablegate's
mission to this country had given to a
large portion of the people, saying he was
particularly pleased that the honor of the
Cardinalate had been deserved by one Of
his own state and city, the Archbishop Of
New Y FORK, with whom he had the pleasure
of being acquainted.
The ALLOCATE and party were conducted
from the department of the interior, at the
request of Secretary Delano and Mr.
Smith, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, to
the fremont House, where the delegation
of the Sioux chiefs were presented to the
party, and conyersed for little while
through interpreters,

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

For damp closets and cupboards which
generate mildew, trayful of quick lime
will be found to absorb the moisture and
render the air pure, but Of course it is
necessary to renew the lime from time to
time as it becomes fully slaked. This
last remedy viii! be found useful in safes
and strong rooms, the damp air of which
acts frequently most injuriously on the
valuable deeds and documents which
they contain.
Plmples on the face usually indicate
some defect Of nutrition or some error in
food. Many persons, on the adoption Of
wise aud reasonable diet, become for
the first time free of pimples; therefore,
insteld of doctoring them with medicines,
you should look we'll to your habits of
life. improve your digestion, wisely reg.
ulate the diet, and keep the skin active
by proper bathing, and much life out of
doors. Few people, especially women,
appreciate the good effects of outdoor
life, unconstrained by tight dresses.

them in every row, and using several va.

the same kind Of seed, leaving every third
row, in which he afterward planted hemp
seed. The third Of the patch in which

TO MAKE HARD SOAP.

The following is recipe for making
hard soap, which is said to be excellent
and economical. Nearly every family &C.
cumulates through the winter drippings
of beef and mutton. These can be uti-
lized for the grease by boiling in wa er,
allowing it to cool, then removing from
the water and boiling till all the water Is
expelled. OF course the winter the
grease the nicer the soap. Take 6 pounds
of sal soda. pounds of grease, l-2
pounds new stone lime, 4 gallons soft
water, IL pounds Of borax. Put soda,
lime and water into an iron boiler boil
till all is dissolved. When we'll settled
pour off the clear I've, wash out the ket
tie, and put in the clear lye, grease an6
borax; boil till it comes to soap, pour in
to tub to cool, and when sufficiently
hard cut into bars and put on boards te
dry.
