VICE PRESIDENT WILSON,

This arraigning of the Republican par.
ty by Mr.. Wilson is a sort oftub thrown to
the whale of reform to placate and dis
armit, but it is an insult to reform to ask
it to accept the penitent professions OF
that party which he assumed to put into
its mouth. He testities to his disbelief in
the sincerely of this great reform move-
ment when he proposes that it shall
take up again the party whose conduct
compelled its organization. Mr.. Wilson
can see nothing beyond his own party
lines, and that is because he is absorbed
with his ambition. Disguise it in what
form he will, it itinevitably betrays itself.
His present apprehension seems to be
that he'may be overlooked as a political
aspirant, but there is little danger of it if
letters, iteryiews, speeches, travel, tele-
graphic announcements, and inCessant
movement can keep one in the public
mind. Yet he would do better to push
for himself and let his party takeits fate.
In pleading for its reinstatement he haz-
ards all, When he condemns what he
finds evil in that party, he stultifes him
sell, and worse by arguing for the perpet-
'uation'ofits system Of corruption, prof.
gacy, grabs, rings, third terms, and Office
holding. If he Is, sincere for reform, and
cares for that chiefly, he would at least
mention with respect the great Demo-
cratic party which reform has honored
with its confidence Boston Post.

INSECT DESTROYER.

The Journal of Chemistry publishes a
receipt to the destruction of insects,
and if it be one-half as efcacious as it is
claimed to be, will prove invaluable. Hot
alum water, it says, will destroy red and
black ants, coekroaches, spiders, chintz
bugs, and all the crawling pests which
infest our houses.
Take two pounds of alum and dissolve
it in three or four quarts Of boiling wat
er. Let it stand on the fire till the alum
disappears; then apply it with brush
while nearly boiling hot, to every joint
crevice in your closets, bedsteads, pantry
shelves, and the like. Brush the crew.
ces in the floor of the skirting or mop
boards if you suspect that they harbor
vermin.a II, in white-washing ceiling
plenty of alum is added to the lime, it
will also serve to keep insects at dis
tance. Cockroaches will flee the paint
which was washed in cool alum water.
Sugar barrels and boxes can be freed
from ants by drawinga chalk mark just
around the edge Of thetop Of them. The
mark must be unbroken, or they will
creep over it; but continuous chalk
mark half an inch wide will set their
atnaught. Powdered alum
or borax will keep chintz bugs at a res
pectful distance, and travellers should al
ways carry package in their handbags
to scatter over and under thei. pillows
in places where they have reason
to suspect the presence of such bedfel-
lows.

4 PRA ALSEWORTHY WORK IN NEW
YORK.

The following tabular statement will
show the extent of charitable work done
by the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton in New York, for the year ending
April 80, 1875:
Total number of persons registered
who were either furnished with food and
lodgings or were sent to institutions, q
S62; ofthese 479 were under 20 wears, L.
All between twenty and thirty years, "a. ID
GA exceeded 30 years of age; 1,l74 were
born in the United States, and 1858 in
foreign countries; 623 professed the Ro-
man Catholic religion, and about 1920
were Protestant. Over 300 were well ed
ucated, while the number of those who
could not write did not exceed so. Of
clerks there were 367, artisans 1924, and
laborers, l,27l. The average daily atten-
dance in the reading rooms were 300,and
these visitors wrote upward of 10, l20 let
tiers. There were sent to situations ,634
men, and 3, 426 were provided with lodg-
ings; 1926 were supplied with garments,
l80,76l meals were distributed gratuit-
ously, and 120,3l3 were sold at five cents
each, NOappeal for support was made to
the public during the year
The labor of these young men was
greatly weakened, and their treasury
more severely taxed, because ofthe great
scarcity of labor during the winter, and
also because of the extreme severity of
the season.
The young men who during the past
two years have born the expense of this
work, cheerfully incurred the addition
al expenditure Of baths, etc. Further, a
large sum has been spent by the Associ-
alton o., the building for needful repairs,
On July 1, it was proposed to introduces a
cooperative plan of work in the hope of
rendering the Institution more self-sus-
tanning, and thereby enlarging its sphere
of usefulness. Thus men who have re-
ceived board and lodging will, at the ex-
piration Of their term Of relief, be given
cards stating the value of aid awarded to
them, and it is expected that many who
have retained their self respect, will, on
obtaining work, remit the amount, and
for this they will receive receipts as CO.
operators Of the Association. In Ia SINH
lar mannerit is thought that the heavy
expenses entailed by the labor bureau
may be considerably reduced by charging
q moderate fee on every engagement ef-
fected, payable one-half by the employer
and one half by the person employed.

FORT Id URENS, NEAR BOLIVAR

I'D 1855. Ir N
BY JOSIAH Q. KERN. ..| H" ,
From the Alliance Monitor,

In May ITS, Brigadier General Lagh'
Ian Mcintosh. of the Continental army
succeeded Brigadier General Hand in
command of the Western Department, o,
which the headquarters were Fort Pitt
He brought with him small force o.
regulars for the defence of the frontier
and ulterior operations. Congress now
determined upon an expedition against
Detroit, concluding that the reduction o.
that post would bring ease to the suffer
ing border. Mcintosh was therefore or
dered to move upon Detroit InOctober
he descended the Ohio to the mouth oil
the Beaver, with force of regulars and
Militia, where he erected the fort which
bore his name. 1t stood on the site OF
the present town of Beaver about thirty
miles below Pittsburgh, near the mouth
OF Big Beaver creek a Northern tributary
of the Ohio. Fort Mcintosh was a small
work, built of strong stockades, and fur
aished with bastions mounting one six
pounder each-the first military post OF
the United States established beyond
the frontier settlements, upon the Indian
Ride of the Ohio. In view of the expen-
siveness of the undertaking Congress was
reluctantly compelled to abandon the
expedition against Detroit, Mcintosh
was now ordered to proceed against any
Indian towns, the destruction of which,
in his opinion, would tend most effectu-
ally TO indmidate and chastise the hostile
sayages .4f.5 .s.. ,r,,i u.
He thereupon decided to,move upon
Sandusky,a WyandOt town upon the up
per waters of the river of that name, and
contiguous villagesand settlements For
that purpose he marched into the wilder
ness westward, with a thousand men, but
after reaching the Tuscarawas,t then cali
ed the Muskingum,it it was decided to 90 no
farther until spring. A halt was accord
lngly called, in honor ofthe present town
of Bolivar, in Tuscarawas county, o., on
the east bank of the river, and called, in
honor of the President of Congress, Fort
Laurens. Leaving garrison Of one hun
dred and fifty men, under the command
of Colonel John Gibson to protect the
post, Mcintosh returned with the rest of
his army to Fort Pitt. i
Colonel Gibson, at Fort Baurens, soon
found himself in an uncomfortable posi-
tion. In January l779, several hundred
British Indians laid seige to the fort and
continued its investment for six weeks
reducing the garrison to the verge of star
yation. The sayages were then compell-

HOW ONENAN PREVENTED 4
u.H : PANIC 'f

What coolness may do in such cases
was once well illustrated by the great
German orator, Emile Devrient. The
grand theatre at Vienna was crowded.
The Emperor Francis, with several mem
bers Of his family, were in the imperial
box, The play, Schiller's Robbers"
had reached its third act, when the cry
arose that the stage was on fire. Dew
rient signed at once to the prompter who
lowered the curtain, the actor stepping
out in front of it, ere it wholly fell. In
his clear, clarion voice he said There
is no fire. The Emperor has been des-
poied of an aigrette of diamonds on en-
tering the theatre. No honest man will
object TO being searched You will pass
out one by one at each several entrance
and be searched by the police stationed
at the several doors. Any man attempting
to 60 out of order will be arrested" The
crowd deceived by the GOODNESS and the
charge, poured out As each reached the
doorhe was simply told to hurry on; and
just as the last rows of the gallery were
filling out, the flames burst through the
curtain, enveloped the auditorium, but
not life was lost, though in less than
half an hour after the great building was
in Brooklyn Eagle.

JAMES.

She gave it to him with astonishment
and fear. He turned it topsy.turvy and,
striking the table with great violence and
Ainging himself on his knees, he made a
most solemn and affecting vow to God, of
repentance and sobriety. From that mo-
ment to the day of his death he drank no
fermented liquor, but confined himself
entirely to tea and water, never saw
so sudden and astonishing a change. His
looks became healthy, his cottage neat,
his children were clad, his wife was hap
py, and twenty times the poor man and
his wife, with tears in their eyes, have
told me the story, and blessed the even

made the VOW of sobriety. .......

doubling of the salary of the President
through what is known as the back-pay
grab law of March, 1878, has not been re-

repeal or reduction during the present

1t is not easy to interpret such blurred
