How to Furnish a House.

The New York Times draws picture
of the time when our houses shall be
furnished as they should be: "Heavy
rugs will partly cover the polished
floors. Paper of some neutral tint, free
from glaring figures, will stretch from
the richly-colored dado at the bottom
to the gay border at the top. The
picture-rod will not be Of the eternal
gilt that wearies us now. It win be
painted some decided color that will
harmonic with the prevailing shade of
the whole room. Before the windows
and before the doors which open out
ward, curtains, heavy in texture and
subdued in tone, edged with strong
lace, will hang from wooden rings which
move freely on slender wooden rod
fastened to the sheathing. Rings and
rod will be of the hue of the picture
rod above. The sir gle curtain before
each opening will be Topped to one side;
low bookcases, not over three feet high,
dark wood relieved by few chiseled
designs picked out in color, will line
the wall. No glass doors will disfgure
them. One general pattern, varied in
each piece, will stamp the furniture.
Last and greatest, an open wood fire,
either, in fireplace or in one of the
Franklin stoves which still Turk in the
garrets of old country houses, viii cast
it's CHEEKY light over everything. The
close stove, the register, the CRATE, and
the radiator, will be tabooed. The
blaze of wood burning across brazen
and irons is something so beautiful that
no artist has ever succeeded in painting
it. The first of all hints on household
tastes should be: Have an open wood
fire in the room in which you mean to
live"
IT has been sagaciously remarked
that woman's only reason for any
thing is because This theory is
borne out by the way the girls operate
with counterfeit notes which come under
theirh hands in the Treasury Department.
Gen. Spinner, who has had twelve
years experience in the work, says they
are worth ten times as much as the men
for such business. ga man always has
q reason for a counterfeit" says the
General, "forty, maybe, but he is
wrong half the time. A woman never
has a reason. She says tits counterfeit
because it is counterfeit, and she is al
ways right though she could not tell
how she found out if she were to be
hung for it. :"

THE developments concerning the

McDonald's completely was clearly

of all further reference to the matter.
The Ring was thought to be nvincible
then, and Mcdonald was bold enough
to threaten libel suit, which may
have possibly served to squelch the
Times proprietor. At any rate, the
party who was looking up the facts
could do nothing with the otherpapers,
and dropped the investigation in dis

The election takes place in August. ..
Within the past sixty days sixteen men
and two females have been murdered
within the Cherokee nation. This has
been done in a population Of less than %,
600 souls, Most Of these murders have
been committed byreasOn Ofquarrels grow
ing out of feuds existing between the Ross

Washington Special (July 16) TO the Cincin-
natl Gazette.
Senator Robertson, of South Carolina, in
a recent visit to the city, talked very freely
about the present reform movement in his
State. Robertson, although Republican,
is South Carolinian, born and bredl He
is strongly opposed to the caTpet-bag- ele-
ment that has long ruled his native State.
He acknowledges that the picture Of South
Carolina, given by the Independent press
of the North has sbeennOne too highly coll
Ored. Upon this subject be said: NEARLY
all that outsiders know about diSSensiOn,
fraud and corruption is true, and if it APP
pears bad to those who know so
little, how must it look to Us who are
behind the scenes and striving for a
good government. l tell you, sir, we
must get rid Of the carpet-bag influence.
It is baneful, it is vicious, and there can be
no tue reform until it is driven out. [
think Gov. Chamberlain is not TO be de-
tered by the plea of a split in his own
party. The cOlOred voter has learned to
estimate the truevalaeOf the carpet bagger,
and he cannot be used as a mere political
machine in the future IS he has been in the
past. Give US good government, and
they are the best labOrers we can have; and.
when we DO get such government they
will, like al other la oring classes, vote.
