VENTILATION OF CLOTHES CLOSETS.
Too little attention is paid in the con-
struction of closets to their proper ven-
tilation. 1t is not always convenient
to have closet door stand open, and if
it were, full ventilation cannot be Sc
cured in this way. There should be a
window or an opening of some sort from
the closet to the outer mir or to hall,
SO that current of dir might remove any
unpleasant odors arising from clothing
that has been worn, from shoes, or from
anything else kept in the closet. A gar
ment that has hung up for any length
of time in close closet is unfit to wear,
unless it has been thoroughly aired, as
though the unwholesome vapors it had
absorbed were visible to the eye. The
charm of clothing new and clean lies
far more in the absence of these vapors
than many people are aware.

DOING UP MEMS WEAR.

Writing to the Ohio Farmer on this
subject sc Dot" says:-I used to think
it quite task to wash and do up mems
and boys wearing apparel, for the rea-
son that / was troubled to make them
look nicely after the renovation.
They would put on such wrinkly
appearance that I would get discouraged
and not feel at all satisfied with the re-
suits of my labor. 1t wasn't the wash
ing part that troubled me SO much as
the ironing.
learned by experience never to wash
any kind of wooden goods, especially if
they are colored, in sudsy water,
where white clothes had been previous
" washed, on account of the lint, but
in a suds made of clear hot water
and soap, and then rinse in clear warm
water, folding the garments carefully
before putting them through the wiring
or, they would then dry out clear and
look we'll; but the doing up was where
the difficulty came in.
After while, however, Twas fortunate
enough to receive instructions from an
experienced laundress, which caused
my troubles to vanish like dew before
the sunshine, and the lesson was so SIM
pie, l was surprised at myself to think
that I had not thought of it before.
1t was merely this:-After the gar
ments that are to be ironed are thorough
ly dried, spread them smoothly over the
ironing board, then wiring a cloth out
of clear water, spread the cloth over
the goods and iron with hot fiat until
the cloth is dry--dip and wiring the
cloth again, spread it above the part al
ready pressed, and proceed as before
until the face of the goods has all been
passed over.
When pants are to be done up, the
seams should all be pressed over
press board, the some as when newly
finished; then fold the same as tailors
do-and 60 over them with the wet
cloth and hot iron; after being treated
to such a course, wooden wear will come
out looking nearly as good as new, and
no one need be ashamed to wear them,
either to mill or to meeting"
1t is little difficult to do up coats
and vests, because of the different ma
terials of which they are composed, not
all shrinking alike, yet they can be
managed so they will look nicely, if
care is exercised in the management;
that is, stretching the parts that have
shrunk, and pressing in place, as they
are being done up. If the Innings are
too loose, rip them up and lap over or
rip off.

KEEPING TIE HANDS SMooI

KEEPING THE HANDS SMooTH.-A writ
er in the american Grocer says that
glycerine is not used in the right way.
She asserts that to preserve the smooth
ness and softness Of the hands, keep a
small bottle of glycerine near the place
where you habitually wash them, and
whenever you have finished washing,
and before wiping them, put one or two
drops of the glycerine on the wet palm
and rub the hands thoroughly with it
as If it were soap, then dry lightly with
o towel. Household work and bad
weather will not prevent your skin from
being smooth and soft if this plan of
using glycerine is followed.

A PRAYER for Troops.

Hon. A.. G. Magrath and General w.
+. DeSaussure called yesterday upon Gov
ernor Chamberlain to represent the nee
essity for the presence of some United
States troops Mt certain points in Charles
ton county. They asked his cooperation
in an application TO be made to General
Ruger to that end. The delegation told
the governor that the white population
outside Of the city were alarmed at cor
tain reports Of i'll feeling towards them
manifested by the negroes who are i'll such
an immense pr%epondcrance at many
points. Many families had already re-
moved to the city, and those unable to do
so were in much anxiety and dread.
Governor Chamberlain has addressed
to them the following letter:

GENTLEMEN: Ihad hoped after our in
tcrview this morning to have met you
again, rs I then intimated to you, in order
that We might confer more fully upon the
matters Which you brought to my attcn-
ton.
My views and purposes were stated to
you with entire frankncss in our inter-
view, but I desire again to present them in
writing. I ain glad of an opportunity
practically to prove that in nll my rela-
tons to the present canvass, and especially
in seeking the aid of the military force Of
the United States, I an acting in the inte-
rest Of all our people, and for the protec-
well as the republicans. I expect no IA
vor-and hardly justice-in the judgments
prom ounced upon me by my political op-
ponents in the heat Of this campaign ; but
you, gentlemen, know me well. You
have in times past honored me with your
confidence, and know you will believe
when I say that I am as solicitous that you
and your political friends shall be protec-
ted by the United States troops now in
the state as I am that my political friends
shall be protected. I deplore the fears
which have called you hero. If the anx-
ietics and distress which now aft1ict the
white people of Charleston are the effect
of the mad policy inaugurated by demo-
cratic leaders in this state we will not
pause to discuss it, Our common and
only present duty is to strive to say peace
and to secure peace to all our fellow citi-
zcns. l will confer fully and promptly
with General Kruger, as I have already
promised you, and I have no doubt he
will take such measures as will fully in
sure q peaceful election in Charleston
county and ample protection to all whom
you are here to represent.
I beg to express my sincere gratifica-
ton at the confidence you have manifes-
ted in bringing these matters personally
to my attention, and to again assure you
that I am, as truly now as in other and
more peaceful days, your friend and SER

The Battle Groun d.

In spite of all that the Republicans col
do by bayonets and bribery in tho South,
and by brazen t%ulsehoodS on the STUMP
and a large corruption fund in the North
it is certain that Hayes will be defeated
unless he can carry either New York o.
the three States of Connecticut, New Jer-
sey, and Indiana. Now, though it is quite
probable that the Democrats three
weeks ago were so weak in Indiana as to
place it among the doubtful States, yetthc
recent election has proved that it is as sure
to go for Tilden in November as Kcn-
lucky is. This fact, therefore, makes New
York, Connecticut, and New Jersey the
battle ground for the remaining two weeks
Of the campaign.
The friends of Hayes and corruption
will struggle desperately to capture New
York and the two adjoining States. 1t is
a case of life and death to their cause, and
they will fight with the energy of despair.
Nevertheless, we are confident. that the
supporters of Tilden and Reform will put
forth such energy during the coming two
weeks rs to make sure of the fifty electoral
votes ofthose States, thus saving the coun-
try from another term of Grantislm, Won
by false professions and pretcnces.-New

What General Ruger Says in Trans

A Prayer For Our Country.
BE MERCIFUL, o GOD.

Our Southern sky has lost it's azure hue,
And threat'ning clouds obscure our South
Bright stars which DER the world a lustre
Arc passing from our heavens, one by one;
SO from the depths profound to thee we cry,
Look now upon US with plying eye,
Be merclful, o God.
\ dark, rough path awaits our weary feet,
And rarely do we hear Il Kind God speed!
4 host pursucs with hOrse and chariot fleet
To Thes alone we look in this our need.
Thine is the hand, and thine the power to save
Open q pathway through the fiery wave,
BE mereiful, o God!
We ask not that thy vengeance oyertake,
Those who dcspoil us with such ruthless
ness
Do as thou wilt with them, but O forsake
Us not, though we deserve not that Thol
bless;
Guide Thou our country when her day is
And be her %roar-guard through the gloom,
Be Mcrclful, o God!
Be merciful, o God. For thy great name:
And his through whom alone we humblJ
plead;
He too knew persecution, grief and shame,
He too died, hat the fetter'd might b.
freed,
Before Thy throne and His, we lay our wronl
And with the blood Of lov'd ones cry, "Hoe
long!"
Be merciful, o God!
