Dangerous Soap.

Wehaye remarked of late the in

high sounding names Of various
strong potash combinations intended
for laundry and cleansing purposes,

than any other ingredient, lately

fonnd the same stuff strong enough
to remove old hard paint from wood
work when merely wetted by the
same and allowed to rest thereon for
perhaps an hour or two, We advise
our readers to let such preparations
severely alone; they are ruinous to
clothes, and, except to cleanse soaked
places, should not be used. Even
the ordinary low grade soaps are
heavily charged with soda andimpu-
rites, which, the manufacturers say,
they are obliged to add in order to
hold their own with fraudulent deal
ers who adulterato still more heavily;
and thesesoaps are also highly de-
structive to fabrics. 1t is much bet

lily, even a superior quality, of white
soap for household purposes; for the
extra cost of the soap will, IN the
end, be more than saved in the les
soned wear of cloths, of oil cloths,
and Of. paint. 1t is hardly necessary
to add that strong alkali soaps should
never be used on the skin, as their
effect is corrosive and harmful. The
object of using soap for the toilet is
simply TO overcome the natural oil
which exudes from the body, and
render it possible for the water to
combine Herewith; and very little
of the mildest soap is ample for the

About Hating.

Hate not. 1t is not worth while.
Your life is not long enough to make
it pay to cherish ill will or. hard
thoughts toward any one. What if
this man has cheated you, or that
woman played you false? What if
this friend has foresaken you in time
of need, or that one having won your
utmost confidence, your warmest love
has concluded that he prefers to con-
slider and treat you us u strangcr?-
Let it all pass. What difference will
it make to you in few years, when
you 90 to the undiscovered country?
A few more smiles, a few more pleas
mes, much pain, little longer hur-
rying and worrying through the
world, some hasty greetings and alb
rupt farewclls, and our play will be
"played out" the injured will be led
away and ere long forgotten, Is it
worthy to hate each other?

Extraordinary "aIixeil'' War

'Thc course Of true love never did
run smooth, is time-worn. qdage,
which the majority of grown-up
folks, as a rule, give their adherence
to. Whether, however, this is the
cause Of a deadlock in the affairs Of
a newly-married couple residing in
the township Of Westminster we
know not; still the annexed state
ment is none the less true. Themale
particlpator in the affair is, we be-
lieve, a farmcrin good circumstances;
while the bride is stated by those
who should know to be a rathergood-
looking young woman Of twenty
three summers. The courtships are
in the rural districts principally
going to and returning from church,
meetings, &c. II was rather lengthy,
and at times the people thought the
disparity in the ages would be bar
rier, in the long run, to the union

doomed to disappointment, as week

made one, a honeymoon trip wasin-
dulgod in and ON Sunday last the or
Understanding took place in a
city chapel. The most extraordina-
ny fact however remains to be told
Whilst the courtshipwas proceeding
it was usually understood that the
couple were near relatives-cousins,
people generally supposed. The an
nouncemcnt of the marriage, gave
rise to a good deal of further specu-
lation on the subject. But imagine
the CONSERVATION of all parties con
cerned when, last week, it was dis
covered that the bridegrooms father
had been married twice, that he was
one of the first wife's family and that
the bride was one of the second

the above facts has been almost dis

reply to the numerous inquiries as to
what they mean TODD, saidtho bride

Dlsrcspect at Home.

One of the dangers of house life is
this habit of disrespect-that which
is bred by familiarity. People who
are all beauty and sunshine for a
crowd of strangers, for whom they
have not the faintest affection, are
all ugliness and gloom for their own,
by whose love they live. The pleas
ant little prettinoss of dress and per-
sonal adornmcnt, which mark the
desire to please, are put on only for
admiration and goes for nothing,
while the house companions are only
to the ragged gown and threadbaro
coats, the touzled hair and stubby
beard which, if marking the ease and
comfort of the "sans facon" of home
mark also indifference and disrcspect
which do so much damage to the
sweetness and dolicacy of daily life
And what is true of the dress is truer
still of the manners and tempers of
home, in both of which we find too
often that want of respect which
seems to run side by side with affcc-
ton and the custom of familiarity it
is regrotaBle habit under any of its
conditions but never more so when
it invadcs the home and endangers
still more that which is already too
much endangered by other things
Parents and up bringcrs do not pay
enough attention to this in the young.
They allow habits of disrcspect to be
formed-rude, rough, insolent, impa-
tient, and salve over the sore with
the stcreotypcd excuse "rhcy mean
nothing by it," which if we look at
Alright is worse than no excuse at all;
for if they really mean nothing by it,
and their disrespect is not what it
seems to be the result Of, strong, an
ger uncomfortable temper but is
merely a habit then it ought to be
conquered without loss of time, be-
ing merely n manner that hurts all
parties alike.

The Fugitive OF the Skies.

Vulcan is still q myth. Astronomers are
divided upon the question whether he exists
or not. NJ. Leverrier, the famous French
respondent in Paris that on the I'd or Sd of
October the planet will move over the disk
of the sun, but Professor Parkhurst, who
writes to us to-day, seems to doubt that it
will be seen, or, indeed, if ii ever has been
seen. Vulcan plays hide and seek in the
solar system and lodges among the
planets. He conceals himself in light,
like hypocrisy in a church. Often
the delighted astronomer has thought
he had Vulcan safe under his thumb but,
lifting it, he had vanished like flea A
mosquito is not more difficult to catch than
this elusive star. He resembles policeman
on a dark, rainy night--never where he is
wanted, but always where he is not He is
the little joker of some Celestial thimble-
rigger: now you see him, and now you
don't. Those who have played three-card

''this ere card with the corner turned up IL

king of spades. "Bet you it is a belt of
asteroids" says Professor Parkhurst, gazing
through smoked glass spectacles. The card
is turned over, and behold it Is blank.
There is not sign Of spade nor a
fragment of asteroid. So that par
ticular part of the heavens where
Vulcan should be on Monday night may

At jerome Park To-Day.

There is every indication that the meeting
which opens at Jerome Park to-day will be
the most successful in the annals Of the
bracing breeze to make the cheeks of beauty
wear brighter glow an extra wrap or two
may not be out Of place around shapely
shoulders in q carriage drive but this adds
all tho more zest to the trip out and home.
There are five events on the card to-day,
and all of them will be interesting. The
three-quarter mile dash, with maiden allow
ances, always makes pretty race. Soon
over, it treats the eye to a flash Of brilliant
color, just stirs the blood and awakes the
interest enough to put every one in good
humor for the solid running in the
race TO follow. This is the Jerome
Stakes, over two miles, for three-year-
olds, which always brings fine
field of horses to the post. Following
this comes the Nursery Stakes for two-year-
olds, form in which the silken-coatod
young beauties are wisely not asked to test
their powers beyond mile. It is q race
that has always the added piquancy of fore
casting the great horses of future years. The
Manhattan Handicap, over one mile and a
quarter, will bring number of stanch
horses before the starters flag, and as the
performances of most of the animals are
known to all the patrons of this exciting
sport the race will be watched keenly until
the numbers go up at the judges stand.
The Selling Race which closes the day, will
give room for much speculation. Over a
course mile and an eighth the apimals can
show their speed. The races commence
promptly at halfpast one o'clock, SO those
who take the road or the rail must be out
we'll before noon. We wish the meeting
every SUCCESS.

A Campaign Falsehood Exposed.

We spoke severely the other day of ex-
Governor Vance, of North Carolina, In the
belief that he had really uttered some brutal
words which were imputed to him in local
newspapers; and We were led to trust these
reports by some passages in Judge Settles
reply to Mr.. Vance, which seemed to refer
to the language imputed to Mr.. Vance. A
despatch which we print elsewhere this
morning shows, on the testimony of Judge
Settle, Mr.. yance's opponent. that Mr..
Vance did not use the language imputed to
him; but that he quoted it from one of the
"bloody shirt" speeches Of Mr.. Ingersoll, a
republican speaker who is doing good
deal to make sensible men voto the demo-
cratic ticket all over the country. Mr..
Vance and Mr.. Settle are 'stumping" North
Carolina together they are rival candidates
for the Governorship Judge Settle heard
and replied to Mr.. Vance's speech, and he
at once, on being asked If the report was
correct, said it was not That is sufficient
and the best evidence. Mr.. Vance did not
say what was imputed to him, and Of course
our remarks had no cause, and fall to the
ground.

WRed Hot"

Out in Ohio and Indiana the political can
vass acknowledged, is even by the local jour-
nails, to be ''red hot" They have mass
meetings twice day nowadays all over In
diana, and each party boldly accuses the
other Of violating pretty much all the Ten
Commandments. 1t may come to our turn
in the East by and by, and it will be well
for the politicians OF both sides hero to re-
serve their strongest language until they
reach the crisis Of the canvass, say during
the last week Of October There are only q
certain number Of strong words in Webster's
Dictionary, and it is too early here in the
East to begin to draw on the limited supply
as yet A democratic journal reports Mr..
A. 8. Hewitt as describing some of Mr..
Blaine's Western speeches as ''very cool and
deliberate lying" This seems to us un-
timely language. It may be expected by
and by from both sides. For the present
we recommend to Mr.. Hewitt Senator Sum-
ner's ingenious paraphrase. When Mr.. Sum-
ner wanted to suggest that another honor
able gentleman had '.lied" he used to re-
mark that he had made statement which
had no foundation in fact" It amounts to
the samo thing, but it saves the proprieties,
and they nre worth something just nov.

Mr.. Adams ON tn. Camp.ig..

The democrats had very large
and very enthusiastic meeting last night
at the Cooper Institute. and addresses
we're made by E. X. Apgar. R. H. Mari,
Of Louisiana, and others The event
of the evening, however. was the bold, I'M
compromising, denunciatory letter of Mr..
Charles Francis Adams. IL is brief
but powerful arraignment Of che
republican party. and places Mr..
Adams in full accord with the most deter
mined opponents Of the administration. He
declares that this is struggle between the
people and the managers (; that the repub-
lican party is corrupt almost everywhere
and that q radical change is demanded As
proof of this Mr.. Adams refers to the
large vote given for Mr.. Blaine,
deeply compromised by Investigations,
in the Cincinnati Convention, and
that given for Mr. Bristow, who really did
honor to himself by fearless and effective
exposures Of corruption in high places"
Finally, he accuses the republican leaders
of being ready 10 have another war rather

choose. This letter and Governor Seymour's
