To CLEAN GoLD CHAINs.-Put the
chain in small glass bottle with warm
water, little tooth powder and some
soap. Cork the bottle and shake it for
minute violently. The friction against
the glass polishes the gold, and the
soap and chalk extract every particle of
dirt and grease from the interstices of a
chain of the most intricate pattern;
rinse it in clear cold water, wipe with q
towel, and the polish will surprise you.

Our Banc.

Under this head the National Bdp-
list deals out these very plain words:
"Everybody wants to show off. The
clerk with 5000 year wants to emu
late his employer with 100000 q
year. The minister with 81 800, liza
bic to cease at the will of death or Of
the deacons, wants to live as if he had
q solid income Of five times rs much,
or, rather, the parish wish it Of him.
A young man dare not invite young
lady to go anywhere unless he is pre-
pared to lavish on her all sorts of
things, quite beyond his means. The
matron will not invite friend to
take q quiet cup Of tea; there must
be all sorts Of landangocs, to be pur-
chased with money, or on credit.
"If one is honest, then he robs
himself Of neccssarics TO squandcr
the more on vanitics. The father
and mother rob themselves of rest,
food and Of the comfort which comes
from a deposit in the savings bank,
in order that the daughter may dress
far beyond their means. But, alas !!
often the moral fabric gives way.
The merchant, the clerk, the teller,
the cashier, the banker, must live up
10 certain point, no matter who suf-
ters. Hence comes 'sborrowing" the
money Of the firm, or of the deposit
ors, for stock gambling, in the hope
Of being rich. Th J default, shame,
ruin. If the frog tries 10 be as big
as the OK, something is bound to give
way-eilher body, or brain, or con-
science"

Color.

The. following is an extract from
an article in the National Monitor,
and is worthy the thoughtful perusal
Of every colorcd man:
eff they would be soAite, they have
only to seize upon. the requirements
of the white man with the hand of
industry, and, then do as white men
do. When the race shall have done
this, it will find no occasion to be
4 concerned about its color. The law
Of equairights gives; the black man
the same right to object to the white
mans color that it gives to. tie. white
man to object to tile black mans,
But howi much disposition has the
black man to raise such foolish OBJ
lection in the face of the God he pro-
fesses to serve? Just so much dis
position, and no more, will the white
man have to object to the color of the
black man when, in Intelligence,

your muscles by vigorous exercise.

men OF athletic minds, who left their
mark on the years in which they
lived, were all trained in a rough
school. They did not-mount to their
high position by the leap Of leverage !;
they leapcd the chasm, grapplcd with
the opposing rocks, avoided ava
lanches, and when the goal was
reached, felt that, but for the toll that
had strengthened them as they
strove, it could never have been
obtained.

The Secretary of The Interior Re-
signs.

The following letter from the Presi-

Lodges the letter Of resignation of
Secretary Dclano, which was written
and sent to the President on July 5.
The letter Of Mr.. Dclano rccounts
his services as Commissioner Of In
ternal Revenue and as Secretary of
the Interior, all Of which are approved

terror, was duly received, and has
been held by me until this time with
out action, because Of the continued
persecution which believed and be-
lieve was being heaped upon you
through the public press. only now
take action because the time is rap
idly approaching when the Secretary
Of the Interior will have to com
mencc his labors preparatory to rem
dcring his annual report TO accom-
pany the executive message to Con-
grcss. /, therefore, accept your rcsig-
nation, to take effect on the first day
Of October, leaving little more than
two months from the induction Of
your successor until the assembling
Of Congress. In accepting your
resignation, am not unmindful Of
the fact that about the time Of the
meeting Of Congress, one year ago,
you stated to me that you felt the ne
cessity of retiring from the Cabinet,
and asked whether I would prefer
) your resignation, so rs to have your
successor confirmed by the Senate at
the last session, or whether l would
prefer it in vacation. My answer
was, that | preferred not having it at
f all. That was my feeling at the
time; and / now believe that YOU
have filled every public trust conlidcd
, to you with ability and integrity. l
sincerely trust that the future will
place you right in The estimation OF
) the public, and that you will continue
to enjoy its confidence as you have
done through SO many years of Off
. cial life. With continued respect
and friendship, / subscribe myself
very truly, your obedient servant,

GENTLENEss OF CIIARACTER.-Onc
of the early Christian teachers, who
was born with q violent temper, be-
came q model Of gentleness as he
grew older.
On one occasion he was assailcd
with torrent of most furious words.
The good teacher looked ut the pas
sionatc man who thus addressed him
with tranquil eye, and did not reply
sbya single word. The furious man.
still more cnraged, spoke more Bit
terly than before.

Keep SILENCE under such proyocation.

A Little Pleasure.

How TO make country life socially
helpful and pleasant in winter is a
timely question now. Nothing can
well show much wider contrast than
the present activities in large towns,
compared with life as it goes on in
isolated rural places. We think the
plan which has been adopted by some
Of the Oranges, to organize little
pleasure in the midst of business, Il
very sensible one. Innocent recrea-
ton can hardly have better auspices
than these offered, and if something
looking toward culture and mental
entertainment should be added, the
result would be still further fruitful of
good. TO our mind, there is nothing
equal to well arranged debating
club or reading circle; and where a
paper is edited and read weekly, the
interest excited is usually as cdifying
rs it is salutary. There is hardly
any country district which cannot be
helped in this way, and it only wants
one or two energetic spirits who shall
take the brunt of the battle TO make
any one or all Of the suggested plans
successful.

REFORM.

tits an undeniable fact that the
Republican party.o this State during
the administration of Scott and
Moses had become fearfully corrupt,
and exaggerated accounts Of the ill
success of the party in this State was
beginning to react upon the national
Republican, party. The pledge Of
REFORM with which the party solicited
the support Of the people Of this
State in the last campaign have been
faithfully fulfilled and translated into
actions in a manner calculated to
strengthen the Republican party.
The. trial and verdict against Parker
and the recent conviction of Senator
Walker show conclusively that fraud
and corruption is not exempt from
mcrited punishment, though the laws
are administered, by Republican ofli-
peials and the guilty persons OF great
party and personal influence. 1t
shows that there is honesty enough
left in the party to bring about re-
form in its own ranks. The U,ion-

The Great Robbers.

The distillcrs and brewers, il is
said, have been cheating the govern
ment largely i'll the matter OF to'.oe
Very likely. 1t was to be c,,pecSed,
if opportunity offered. Tfeir whole
business was,a stupendo"s iraud and
crime. Tie robbng ST the govern
mcnt is one of the least Of Their o.
fences For cr,-J dollar they take OF
the ooyerr-hcnt, they take at least
ten froz The people, and mostly from
cnose least able to lose it. There are
to-day ia the country more than a
hundred thousand men in abjcct pow
erty, who, but for these wrong -doers,
would be in circumstances of COM
fort. Their dilapidatcd houses, their
tattered garments, their hungry chill
dren, testify to the great wrong in
fiictcd upon them. But this is not
all. They have been robbed not only
OF their money, but largely Of their
ability to acquire more. With their
money went their health. Tens Of
thousands are annually sent to q pre-
mature grave, while others arc left to
carry about little longer an unburicd
carcass. And with money and health
went reputation. Once these men
had a good name among their neigh
bors-some Of them, indeed, a world
wide reputation. Now their presence
creates q loathing, and with all
classes their name is cast out rs evil.
And still the work goes on. Money
and health and reputation might be
spared if only character were left.
But these great robbers filch not these
alone. They seize what is infinitely
more precious-thcy rob their victims
of their manhood, of their intelIi-
gence, integrity and affection: and
having 'despoilcd them of all these
theiy precious things, they leave their
name to rot and their memory to
perish. So
If one Of the ends Of government
is to protect ths people, is not here
