Emma Mining Company. [Philmore is quoted
as sustaining tins doctrine.
q The relations OF Gen. Schenck with the
Emma mine were such to bring suspicion
upon his motive and subject him to unfavorable
criticism, but the committee hold that he was
not guilty of any fraudulent intention in his

CONSUMPTION of PAPER.

According to the estimate made ~
DIR. Kudal, of Vienna, the quantity If
paper Of all kinds produced in the
whole world amounts to 1900, 900, 600
pounds. Half of this quantity is en-
pIoyed for printing purposes, sixth for
writing purposes, and the remaining
part for divers uses. The whole may
be thus categorized: For government
purposes. 100000, 900 pounds are used !;
for instruction, $50, 900; for COM
merce, 240, 900. 900 for industrial manu-
features, $50, 900, 900 I; for private CORE
spondence, 100000, 600; and for print
ing, 900,000,000. For the production
of these 800, 900, 900 pounds of paper
there are nearly 1000 manufactures,
employing 80, 900 men and 100, 1000 wo-
men, and IN addition, 100000 persons
are engaged in collecting rags. The in
dividual consumption of paper is, in
Russia, an annual average of one pound
to each person, one and half in Spain,
two in Mexico, three and half in Italy
and Austria, seven and half in France,
eight in Germany, ten and one-quarter
in North America, eleven and one-half
in England.

POLITICAL POINTS.

Republican conventions were held on the
oath Of May in Illinois, Missouri, Minnesota,
New Hampshire, Nebraska, Kansas and Da-
dition to the appointment of delegates to the
National convention, also put in the field
ticket for State officers headed by Shelby NJ.
Cullom for Governor, and Andrew Shuman,
editor OF the Chicago Journal for Lieutenant
governor. The delegates to Cincinnati re-
oeived no instructions, but are understood to
be largely for Blaine. The Missouri conven-
ton elected delegation said to consist
az follows Blaine, IS Morton, Q; Bristow,
Hayes, 2 and Conkling, 1. The Minnesota
delegation consists largely Ct Blaine men, but
the convention refused to instruct, or direct
the delegates to vote as a unit. Nebraska in
structed her delegates to vote for Blaine. New
Hampshire expressed no Presidential prefer
ence, and the delegates were left uninstructed.
The sentiment Of the Kansas convention was
strongly Blaine, but the delegates were left
untrammeled. Dakota Territory also sent an
unpledged delegation to Cincinnati.
The Michigan Democracy, in convention at
Lansing last week, adopted hard-money plat
fern, and selected a delegation to st. Louis
understood to be largely in favor Of Tildep.
1t is stated from Washington that an infor-
NAL conference between some of the members
OF the Cabinet was held recently, to consider
the propriety of any Of them attending the Gin
cinnati convention, as one or two are anxious
to do. The sentiment was decidedly adverse
to any person holding such intimate relations
with the President being in Cincinnati during
the progress of the convention and mutual
understanding was had that all should re-
main away, to prevent any criticism upon the
administration Of trying to Influence the NOM
nation.
The Iowa delegates TO st. Louis are put
down eighteen for Tilden and four for Hen
bricks.
Recent important accessions of strength en-
courage the friends OF Mr.. Blaine to believe
that he will be nominated on the first or sec
ond ballot.
The California and Kentucky Democratic con-
ventions were held last week. The former
Endorsed Tilden but gave the delegates no in
structions. The Kentucky convention ex-
pressed no Presidential, preference, though the
delegates chosen are said to have leaning to
Nlden.
Robert NJ. Douglas, son Of the late Stephen
A. Douglas, is delegate from North Carolina
to the Cincinnati convention.

KEEPING THE HANDS SMooTH.--A
writer in the american Grocer says
that glycerine is not used in the right
way. She asserts that to preserve the
smoothness and softness of the hands,
keep small bottle of glgcerine 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 the 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 COMPETENT authority discourses thus
on the lining of walls and roof in a
house The roof should always be
ceiled or underdrawn, as a protection
against heat and cold. For covering the
walls of cottages, paint and Hme-wash
are better than paper, as paint can
readily be cleansed, and lime-wash re-
newed, when soiled or infected by dis
ease. Green Wallpapers are especially
to be avoided, as they always contain
arsenic, and are very injurious to health.
The bare appearance of white-wash may
be avoided by adding to each bucketful
a little um Der, ochre, copperas, or
lamp black, with two or three ounces of
alum. To prevent the lodgment of SCOT
in the chimney. it should be plastered
inside.
HARNESS, and other articles of leather
that are iniuriously acted upon by the
ammoniacal exhalations common in sta
bles may, according to Prof. Artus, be
thoroughly and effectually protected by
the addition of little glycerine TO the
oil or backing with which their surfaces
are treated.

In Cuba the spring campaign is end
ing with the Spanish assurances COM
pletely falsified. The insurgents are
acting on the offensive in the central
department, where they are steadily en-
croaching upon districts hitherto deemed
secure from their attacks. While the
Cubans are thus aggressive and defiant,
the Government is trying vainly to meet
the war expenses. The attempt to col
lect an income tax of thirty per cent.
having failed, Gen. Jovellar purposes
increasing the export duty on sugar and
leaf tobacco. This will, of course, press
heavily on the planters, while it will en-.
able our producers to undersell them.
