The Detroit Port and tho New York Epen-
ing Post, which in sentiment during tho
campaign stood at tho two extremes Of tho
Republican party, have met upon common
ground with reference to the settlement Of
tho Presidential complication, and botl, of
them outline tho sanid programme Of policy
wl1icl, has beon urged over and over III 1.nE
Cn1oAno TR1BuNE. ZACH CHANDLER is
stockho1der In the Detroit Post, nnd it Is in
sono sense therefore to be considered as his
organ. Ho has long borna tho reputation of
being the inost relentless md unforgiying
politician in tho Republican party, a straight
out, machine partisan, aud tho Inst man in
the world who would accept any compromise
TINT looked like reconciliation with the
South. From this standpoint it is gratify-
ing to nota the policy sot forth In tho Post
It points out that, wh!le T1Lpzs may CON-
sollslate the Democratic party In the South,
he will also consolidate tue Republican par~
ty In tho North, and the old conflict between
whites and blacks will be continued four
years. longer, aud 1t adds very pertiuontly:
4 atatcsmna'iko recognition of this lenders Of
tho South the part Ut 1fAYss, decentralization of
the old nntt-Dcmocrasfo elements Of the South
with tho Republican party, Will breals up that solid
Republican vote. It will dissolve tha rigid party
color l!rss, and put thu whota Southern sssuato1,
In nuitl state which Will OF itsolf be solution Of
tbs whole trouble.
So far al tho Post, therefore, represents
Mr. CHANDLER, II goes to show that he is not
hostile to the South. II 1t docs not repre-
acnt him, then Of course it Ia independent of
him, md its policy represents that OF an ad-
vancod Republican paper.
Tho New York Epening Post stands at the
other oxtremo. During the campaign II oc-
cupied place Just inside the Republican
party. Sometimes It was difficult to locate
1t. Although It was Inclined towards HAYES,
1t Ind very sharp fancy towards T1LDzN.
But now it appears to bo in favor Of tho
same policy aa lts opposite neighbor in Do
trott. Referring to Gov. HAYES sentiments
with regard to tho South, the Post saya;
The arss agency which he uames rs n'uans fol

New MODE OF WASHING. i'll
effects of soda on linen, has given rise
to new method of washing, which has
been extensively adopted in Germany,
and introduced into Belgium. The
operation consists in dissolving two
pounds of soap IN about three gallons
of water, as hot as the hand can bear,
and adding to this one teaspoonful of
turpentine, and three of liquid am
monia; the mixture must then. be we'll
stirred, and the linen stepped in it for
two or three hours, taking care to cover
up the vessel containing them as nearly
hermetically as possible. The clothes
are then washed out and rinsed in the
usual way The soap and water may
be reheated and used second time,
but in that case half teaspoonful of
turpentine and tablespoonful of am
monia must be added. The process is
said to save great economy of time,
labor and fuel. The linen scarcely suf-
fers at all, and its cleanliness and color
are perfect. The ammonia and turpen-
tine, although their defensive action is
great have no injurious effect OH the
linen; and while the former evaporates
Immediately, the smell of the later is
said to disappear entirely during the
drying of the clothes. ..tt

The joys of religion are the ell

They sweeten our slumbers, they soothe

PASTE. An Important article of
manufacture. When business is brisk
in New York over 15O,O 600 barrels of
paste are consumed in a year. Three
paste factories supply the market. The
flour of which paste is made is of fair
quality. It ground between rollers,
sifted to free it from Jumps of foreign
matter and then it is mixed with water
and boiled by steam. The boiling vats
usually hold three barrels. Pastboard
-l'oss maker, usually eoaranao theruaoet
paste. In busy times one establishment
uses six barrels in q day. But only
very common paste is used in that busi-
ness. The newspaper establishments
use good quality of paste. The steam
folding machines that fold and bind
phamphlet periodicals, use an extra thin
paste, specially prepared. Bookbinders
shoemakers and bill posters use bad
quality of paste. Paste is also used in
making of suspenders, rope, twine, car-
pet, pocketbooks, and mailing wrap
pers, and by printers, label makers, pa
per hangers and inner sole makers. In
paper hanging and the making of rope,
twine, cerpets and calico, sizing--a
weak preparation of glue made By the
paste makers--is used. It is expensive,
because it finds little sale.-N. Y. Sun.

Lee was defending an oil Royolu.
tionary soldier for passing forged
promisory note for some $50.
There was hardly the faintcst doubt
of his guilt, but Lee contrived to get
before the jury the fact that the nc.
cused when q daredevil of nineteen,
was one of the storminS party that fol-
lowed Mad Anthony Wayne in his des-
perate assault upon Stony Point, and
helped to carry the wounded General
into the fort during that terrible fight
In summing up, Lee, after getting
over the ugly points of the evidence rs
best lie could, undertook to carry tho
jury by escalade, on the ground OF the
prisoners Revolutionary services.
He described in graphic language
the bloody attack on Stony Point, the
impetuous valor of Wayne, the daring
exploit of the client, and wound up
with this stunning interrogatory:
Gentlemen of the jury, will you
send to the State Prison, for passing
contemplate $50 forged note, Gil old
hero of three scoro and ten, who, in
his youth cheered the heart of his
country, in tho darkest hour of the Rev.
olution, by storming Stony Point?"
This was poser.
The chins of some of the jury quiv-
cred, but the foreman, bluff farmer,
put on air which seemed to say, that
storming Stony Point was good
enough in it's line, but what had that
to do with passing this forged note?
After being out couple of hours,
the jury returned to the courtroom,
when the clerk went through the usual
formula:
Gentlemen Of the jury, have you
agreed upon verdict!'
"We haye."
"Do you find the prisoner at the bar
guilty, or not guilty?'
"Not guilty, because he stormed
Stony Point" thundered the stalwart
foreman, who, it was afterward learned,
was the last to come to an agreement.
The audience app:auded, the crier
raped to order, the District Attorney
objected so the recording of the ver-
dict, and the judge sent the jury out
again, telling the foreman, in rather
sharp tones, that they must find an un-
conditional verdict of guilty or not
guilty.
After an absence of few minuteszS
they return, when the foreman re-
dered simple verdict of not guiltA
udding, however, as he droppet-into-
his seat:

sE Those who are going down with
the stream, floating on its bosom, may
not know its power; those only who are
bearing up against it are conscious OF
the power of the current. The children
OF Israel sat contentedly by the flesh
pots of Egypt as long as they submit
ted to their slavery; it was when they
were seized with spirit OF independ-
ence they felt how hard were their task
masters. 1twas when the captive would
break his chains that the IRON enters
his soul. If YOU have tried to love
God, You have found how difficult it IS
10 raise these hearts above the objects
of the earth. Ii you have been striving
to keep up heavenly temper, you have
felt that Your affections flow downwards
like the stream, instead Of mounting
upwards like the evaporations drawn
lup by the sun.
