SPOTS can be taken out of marble with
finely powdered pumicestoue mixed with
verjuice. Cover the spots and allow the
stuff to remain for twelve hours then
rub clean, dry and rinse.
IRISH moss has been suggested as a
substitute for faxseed meal in poultices.
1t is said to make n superior poultice, as
it keeps moist about eighteen hours,
does not slip, is inodorous, and neither
ferments easily nor soils the bed clothes

AN oaken color can be given to new
pine floors and tables by washing them
in a solution of copperas dissolved in a
strong lye, pound of the former to a

should be oiled, and it viii look well for
year or two then renew the oiling.
A GOOD egg is made of ten parts shell,
sixty parts white and thirty parts yolk.
The white of an egg contains eighty-six

about two ounces. Practically an egg is
animal food, and yet there is none of the
disagreeable work OF the butcher neces-

A CORRESPONDENT sends the Inter-
ocean the following recipe for preserv-
ing boots and shoes: Boots and shoes
should be oiled with O preparation of
neatsfoot oil and lamp-black before be-
ing worn, soles and all, and worn a day
or two in dry weather then take one
part tallow and two parts soft tar, and
heat enough to melt the tallow mix

will absorb apply the neatsfoot and tar
alternately as it wears Off The durabil-
ity and waterproof qualities of the
leather will he greatly enhanced.
THE Journal Of Applied Chemistry
tells how to cure corns: " Soak the feet
in warm water, then with q sharp instru-
ment pare off as much of the corn as can
be done without pain, and bind up the
part affected with a piece of linen or
muslin, thoroughly saturated with sperm
oil, or what is better, the oil which floats
on the surface of the pickle of herring or
mackerel. After three or four days the
dressing may be removed and the re-
naming dead cuticle removed by scrap
ing the new skin will be found to be of
a soft and healthy texture, and less liable
to the formation of new corn than be-
fore. We have the recipe from q source
which we cannot well doubt, and publish
it for the benefit of many suffering
readers"

Liberal. Of one of the sleep
ing cars which arrived in Detroit the
other morning was an Iowa man, whose
big boots had been blacked with the rest
while he slept. When he Games to put
them on he asked what the charge was,
and the porter replied that he could give
whatever he saw fit. The traveller pulled
out a nickle, smiled patronizingly, and
handed it out with the remark:
"There-you may keep the whole OF
it. When I'm around home L like to
know where my money goes to, but when

terry Gen. Grosvenor, the member of
the Legislature from Athens county,
has introduced a resolution requesting
the Governor to inform the House as to
the necessity or legality of thus sending
troops into Athens county. The old gem
tleman will now have an opportunity of
explaining what he knows about sending
soldiers to meddle in civil affairs. He
was horribly shocked because few ruff
fans in Louisiana were compelled by
soldiers to keep the peace. We believe
that the Nelsonville miners always de-
MED any inten ton to violate the laws of
the land. If it is crime for men to stop
working when wages do not suit them,
and if for this crime they must be men,
aced and overawed by soldiers, it is about
time the people should know it. If these
miners violated the laws and the Sheriff
was unable to execute process, let the
people know that fact. Gen. Grosvenor's
resolution has passed and it will do a

The report of the evidence given be-
fore the investigating committee on the
Southern outrages, is a.bit of choice read
ing for those who believe in the sanity
attributes of the average Southern gen
tleman. The evidence shows the con-
duct of the White Leaguers in many in
stances to have been of such revolving
character as might have caused an Aus
tralian savage to destroy his favorite
boomerang and hide himself in the
"bush" for very shame
One beautiful instance is that of a Re-
publican in a certain parish in Louisiana,
whose only alleged crime was that he
had been Federal soldier These brave
representatives of the chivalry of the
South called at his residence and notified
him to leave the country. He begged to
be allowed to remain few days, as his
wife was within short time of confne
ment. He wassgranted few days time
when they again returned, took him into
the woods, bound him, and returned tc
his house, where each of these gentlemen
in turn outraged his helpless and sick
wife. Since then the parties had disap
peared, and their fate was not known
One of the leaders of this gang of des
peradoes is now in Grant parish and was
recently the recipient of great honors al
public gathering in that parish.
Another instance of the high-tonec
ideas of these gentlemen is given in the
testimony of negro, who says he wa!
under bonds of cow-stealing. He was of
fered a release from arrest, provided h'
would work for the ticket a certain elec
ton, and when he accepted, was give1
money enough to buy up fifteen othe
negroes at 81 each.
These are but two simple incidents il
the routine of everyday life among thes
playful fellows. Of course, the answer @
the Democratic press of the North to al

idea that, if no other evil results from

party of White Leaguers. lying in the
brush along the roadside, deliberately,
one and all, men, women and children,
shot themselves down in the road, in
order to spite their white friends; and
more recently, how they shot themselves,
in and near Vicksburg, from fear that
that they would be compelled to serve as
county officers. We might go on, chap
ter after chapter, detailing the wrongs
suffered by the innocent whites in the
South, at the hands of these atrocious
outlaws, but we will stop, with the hope

CONGRESS-.

The principal matters of interest in
Congress last week was the Louisiana
matter in the Senate, and the attempt to
take up the Civil Rights Bill in the
House. In the Senate Roscoe Conkling,
Senator from the State of New York,
made one of the ablest and most power
full speeches ever made. The rebel Cor
don, of Georgia, made another speech on
the rebel side.
In the House Gen. Butler moved to
take up the Civil Rights Bill, when the
Democrats at once commenced fillibus-
tering, and kept it up for forty-six hours,
when the House adjourned until Mon
day. 1t is thought that the House will
adopt new rules, so that the public busi-
ness cannot be stopped by minority as
is now the case.
