Care of Looking- classes.

A correspondent of the New England
Farmer says: "Pernaps some readers
nave wondered why Iooking-glasses
sometimes get SO dull and dim Lhat No
washing or rubbing Will make them
clear. That dimness is caused by heat.
A lookingglass or mirror, subjected to
sunshine several hours every day, or to
he hot air from a furnace, register or
stove, Or to the heat OF gas-Ight or
kerosene lamp, will soon become ruined.
At first some portion of the glass looks
dim and misty; then more cloudy, and,
inally spotted or speckled with black;
or the heat has caused the coating OF
quicksilver to expand and loosen its
uold upon the back Of the glass, till al
ter time, particles fall entirely away,
and the glass once beautified by fair re-
Elections, is rendered unsightly and un-
attractive forever.
soil paintings are often seriously In
jured by The same cause. Much OF the
blame laid upon the careless mixing of
Lhe colOrs-especi those used by
modern artlsts--rlgntly belongs to those
who hang the pictures. Care is taken 70
place them in good Light still greater
pains should be taken to secure them
from heat. If, during some portion OF
the day, the sun shines directly upon
these paintings, or heat rises constantly
toward them from stove or furnace, the
canvas gradually takes on q duH ap-
pearance, and soon presents an array uf
cracks that fills US with dismay; if they
are not speedily removed TO a more IA
vorablo position, portions of the outer
coat may peel OF, and the ruin is CON-
plete."

THE Greenbackers are fastidious.
They grumDle about Gen. Cary's NOM
nation ON their ticket; and are pro.
posing to draw him off. Among other
things resolution was adopted by the
National Labor Council, reading thus:
SIN Peter Cooper we find a perfect
type Of the great citizenship OF the Re-
puDlic-a good and great man-but be-
Iieve the Hon. s. F. Cary is too heavy a
weight to allow success being attained"
That "heavy-weight" thrust is the un-
kindest CUT of all.

silver at a price equal to il not surpRss-
ing gold. y
Meanwhile, that monetary o0nfe der
acy known as the "Latin Union" is reg.
uiatng by Its own laws Of coinage the
increase OF silver currency within its
Jurisdiction. That "Union" consists of
France, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium and
Greece. Among the States composing
this Union silver is everywhere COM
mon currency. BY none Of them has it
been demonetized. Excepting Belgium
and Switzerland, all the others have
enormous public debts outstanding.
France proposes to resume specie pay
ment Of her Obligations in 1878 She is
therefore desirous of coin, both silver
and gold. Italy is looking to the same
end, but has fixed nc time. In this Union
the amount Of the annual silver coinage
is fixed, and then the aggregate is ap-
portioned among these several States in
equitable proportions, much as our Ma
tional Bank allotments were formerly
made among our several States. BY this
means the silver supply is definitely reg
uiated as among the States of the Latin
Union, and no sudden or serious pertur-
baton can occur.
Now, then, we have the following
sources whence hesilver surplus is to be
derived: First, the accumua ions by
| reason Of decreased demand Tor the put
poses Of the Asiatic trade; second, the
market disposition that Germany may
make OF her surplus; and third, the re-
Gently increased yield OF our silver
mines. OF these, the first is but TEN por-
airy and accidental, and may be removed
by single season OF plenty and pros
perity in India and China. The second
is uncertain, and has been vastly exag.
gerated. The third may be considered
| as reasonably permanent in its produc-
| tions. But the whole amount of this en-
hanced product of our silver mines does
not exceed $25, 900 annually; not
more, over the former product, than to
supply the worlds increased demand
for silver plate and ornamentation.
What is there, then, to produce this
senseless panic on the subject of the
worthlessness of silver, beyond our own
indiscreet and intriguing legislation Of
1873 working its .demonetization, in imi-
taton of the legislation of England in
1877? This, aided and seconded by stock
speculations with view to q rise in sill
yer, is almost the only element causing
this pretended difference in the value of
silver and gold.

lence and beauty.
q This machine is more durable than any
other OF its class requiring much less outlay
for repairs and renewal of parts.
g. 1t does the cording or staying of button
holes in most elegant and substantial man

WE had hoped from the advicas of Sat-
urday evening that the railroad strike
which originated at Seymour, Indiana,
had ended amicably for all concerned.
But this mornings news shows that the
matter has broken out in another place
Ou the line, at Yincennes, and bears
marks OF more violent purpose on the
part of the strikers.
We regret to learn this, because re-
sort to such measures never work any
good to any one, and almost uniformly
end i'll injury to the interests of the
strikers. We still hope that reasonable
and judicious counsel will prevail in the
fair adjustment of the causes Of the DIFF
fculty.
We would kindly suggest that the
course adopted by the railroad officials
In calling motley bands of volunteer
bummers from Cincinnati and st. Louis,
and, placing them in hostile attitude
on the soil of Indiana, without any war;
rant of authority from the civil authori-
ties OF that State, was improper and in.
discreet, and ought never to be re-
peated.
Now. as we are informed, the proper
appeal has been made to the civil au-
thorities Of Indiana; and this may per-
haps cure the irregularities OF the former
proceeding. The railroad officials owe
it TO themselves, to the community, and
to the great interests they represent, 10
refrain from any infringement Of the
law, and especially from even the ap-
pearauee OF any invasion ofthe suprem-
acy of the local jurisdiction.

BAD lNDIANS.-Some sensational dis
patches from the Northwest affirm that
the hostile Indians under the lead of
Sitting Bullinumber as. many as 1000,
OF whom $4,000 are well armed and ready
at any moment to take the warpath.
From the Texas frontier likewise come
accounts of hostile demonstrations of
the Indians in the neighborhood OF Fort
Elliott, on the N orth Fork Of Red River.
Doub tlesS much of ali this may be set
down to excitement and panic. But
enough remains to render the prospects
OF a general Indian war rather porten.
tOus. Crooks command OF twenty-five
hundred will find hard road to travel
through the Black Hills with that many
thousand "scalpers" in their route.
Better let Congress authorize call for
volunteers. before the adjournment, and
then Sitting Bull will be attended to
without more slaughter pens, such as
Custer was led into.

Aud Lang Syne.

Long faces, long boards, cadaverous
looks and overwhelming brows, were in
times past among the requisite qualiiica-
tons of the average doctor of medicine.
Bald and shiny pates, wise saws and solemn
looks, great deal of jalap and very little
common sense; these and many other
things equally absurd we're, in the old time,
held IN deep veneration. But the grand
march of ideas and events, and the pro-
gress of science have left these ancient
humbugs far in the rear, and they are &c.
membered only to be ridlcued and con-
demned. But "the evil that men do lives
after them,' and the legacies of these he
roes of calomel, jalap and the knife, are
manifest today in broken constitutions,
weak and deblitated systems and an end
less train of maladies which have been
handed down from parent to child until
the earth groans under the burden of pain
and disease which false and pernclous
system has entailed upon us.
The plain duty of the hour is to meet
and correct these evils, when and wherever
found.
Drs. Windsor and Ross-Lewyn, the
great magnetic physicians, arc enlisted, in
this service, to humanity. They are men
in the full prime and vigor of manhood, ic-
lying upon scientific knowledge of the
human system and its diseases, and upon
the grand powers they possess in the won
derful gift Of magnetism. Using little or
no medicine, they prescribe only such sim
pie remedies in nature as may act az aids TO
the magnetic treatment.
The doctors may be consulted, free of
charge, at their rooms at the Bardwell
house. Office hours from 900 a. M. to G. 90

purpose of examining the steam stone
cutting machines and the stone saving ma.
chimes, which are manufactured here. Mr..
Randall of the steam stone cutter work,
and Mr.. Ross Of the Lincoln iron works
showed him the various machines for quar-
rying and cutting stone. He seemed high.
ly pleased with what he saw and manifest
ed great interest in the machines. He Wis
tied the quarries at West Rutland and the
Columbian marble mill. He stopped a
the Paige house and goes to-day to Ausabl(
to see the iron mines there.
